Chapter 27 Being killed by someone in the castle was obviously unexpected.
After all, there are no hints in the rules.
Except for the tall man they met just now, the two of them did not encounter any other patrollers along the way.
After placing the glass slipper at Cinderella's door, they knocked on the door and immediately hid behind a tree. They did not leave until they saw Cinderella take the glass slipper away.
From the secret room to being accidentally involved in the spiritual world of Cthulhu, to learning about the elimination of Shen and his daughter not long ago, too many things happened that night. Tian Li only felt exhausted when she came back.
Her steps were frivolous, all supported by wasn't until she returned to the bedroom that she lowered her voice and opened the door carefully.
The room was dark, but the curtains were not moonlight outside shines in, and Tian Li can almost see the road clearly.
She turned the corner and came to the bedside, and unexpectedly found that Zhang Xincheng's bed was empty.
Where did Zhang Xincheng go?
She threw herself on the bed without even changing her clothes. Before she became unconscious, she was still concerned about Zhang Xincheng's soon his eyes darkened and he fell asleep.
The next morning, Tian Li was woken up by Tasha.
She was too tired yesterday and didn't sleep for long. Even if she was woken up, her consciousness was listless.
Turning around, I saw Zhang Xincheng's bed, which was still empty.
She didn't come back all night! Tian Li began to worry about Zhang Xincheng's safety. She was even afraid that she was too asleep last night and missed the notification that Zhang Xincheng had been killed.
No, Xincheng is so powerful, she should not encounter any accidents.
Tian Li comforted herself in her heart.
Even when preparing breakfast for Su La, she was absent-minded; now she just wanted to see Lin Yanxue as soon as possible so that she could ask him if he had heard the news that Zhang Xincheng was eliminated.
After Sura had breakfast, she began to practice piano in the practice room. Tian Li and Tasha stood outside the door.
Tian Li first secretly glanced at Sura who was looking serious in the room, and then suddenly made a painful expression. She covered her stomach and said to Tasha.
"Sorry Tasha, I suddenly have a stomachache. Can you leave for a while?"
Tasha nodded.
Tian Li left quickly after receiving order to avoid being caught, she made a wasn't until she came to the west corridor that she discovered that Zhang Xincheng was not standing in front of Madam's door.
Tian Li was startled and stepped forward quickly.
At this time, the Madam's bedroom door was closed, and there was no maid outside the Li was wondering whether to knock on the door, but maybe Zhang Xincheng was standing in the bedroom at this time.
But if Zhang Xincheng was not here and his wife found out that he was absent from his post without permission, the result could be imagined.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
A female voice sounded beside him.
She turned around and saw that the person was also wearing a maid's clothes, but he looked unfamiliar and Tian Li didn't recognize him.
She lied casually: "I'm here to report to Madam's maid, uh, to report on the progress of Miss Sura's piano practice in the past two days."
Tian Li took out the token from her pocket again.
"I have Miss's token."
The maid did not look at the token in Tian Li's hand: "Today, Madam is busy arranging a dance for the two ladies. She is not in the bedroom. You can report back later."
"okay."
Watching the maid leave, Tian Li returned to the practice room.
At this time, Lin Yanxue had already arrived, and he was teaching Sulla to play the piano in the finally waiting for a break, she deliberately made some noise, and Lin Yanxue also noticed took advantage of Su La's inattention and deliberately did something to come to Tian Li's side.
"Did you hear the news that Zhang Xincheng was eliminated last night?" Tian Li asked impatiently after seeing Lin Yanxue's first words.
Lin Yanxue thought for a moment, and her men were slowly pouring water.
"No." "Are you sure?" she asked again.
"uncertain."
Just as Tian Li was about to speak, Lin Yanxue added, "Anyway, Qin Weibin, who is in the same room with me, didn't hear her."
After all, if Qin Weibin heard it, he would tell him the next day.
Lin Yanxue was about to ask her what was wrong when she found that Tian Li had walked away.
After hearing what Lin Yanxue said, Tian Li's heart, which was already in her stomach, started to rise again because she didn't see Zhang Xincheng during lunch.
She was absent-minded, and when she poured water for Sula in the afternoon, she spilled it on Sula's hand.
"Hey! What are you doing!"
Sula roared.
"Sorry, sorry." Tian Li came back to her senses and quickly wiped it with a towel.
Su La was about to have a seizure when Lin Yanxue said, "Miss, it's your turn."
Lin Yanxue was handsome, spoke elegantly, and was very patient when teaching. When he smiled gently, most of Sura's anger had been wiped away. She glared at Tian Li fiercely and stopped pursuing it.
Tian Li wiped Sura's hands and then retreated slowly.
After not having a good rest last night and being on tenterhooks today, Tian Li felt that her mental state was very close to the limit.
She took some time off and planned to go out for a walk while eating.
She strolled along the path, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the sunset, inlaying the white clouds with a layer of gold. Tian Li took a deep breath of fresh air, trying to calm down her mood.
Suddenly, the sound of a conversation suddenly reached my ears.
This voice sounds like Zhang Xincheng's!
Tian Li was delighted and hurried towards the source of the sound.
As she walked and thought about it, she knew that Zhang Xincheng could not be eliminated!
After pushing aside the vegetation among the bushes, I saw Zhang Xincheng's figure under the tree not far Li was about to call her out, but a male voice from behind the tree stopped her in time.
She felt strange and listened to the conversation between the two with bated breath.
Zhang Xincheng handed a flat box to the man, but the figure of the man next to the tree was mostly heard the man say: "It really depends on you to steal the dress."
"It's all to complete the task, everyone must do their part." Zhang Xincheng replied.
It turns out it’s about Cinderella’s dress, Tian Li thought.
Just as she was about to walk out of the bushes, the man's voice stopped her movement again.
"Does the pinprick on your arm still hurt?" the man suddenly asked.
"What, what kind of pinhole?" Zhang Xincheng asked doubtfully.
"Sorry, I actually noticed your discomfort on the first day, but the little girl next to you helped you, so I didn't look for you again."
"You, are you a witch?" Zhang Xincheng said.
"Yes." The man continued: "That was the first time I injected medicine into someone. Maybe it was a little bit wrong."
Until the two left, Tian Li was still hiding among the it got dark, she rushed back to the castle.
On the way back, all I could think about was who the man who was talking to Zhang Xincheng was.
The other person was hiding behind a tree, and Tian Li never saw the person's face clearly.
But if you ask Zhang Xincheng directly, will she tell you?
