On the other side, Jin Zijin personally escorted Song Lianjun back to a secluded courtyard, where the leading maid explained that this was the courtyard where Song Lianjun had lived before.
The courtyard remained as she had left it, with a pair of red candles burnt halfway still inside the house, untouched.
The bed was also covered with a red brocade quilt.
Song Lianjun's face flushed with shyness as she gave a small curtsy to Jin Zijin and said, "Since the Prince has not returned, Lianjun has kept the room in the state of a bridal chamber, thinking that someday the Prince would come back, and then…"
Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly saw a red dagger slashing toward her.
Song Lianjun's complexion turned to one of shock. Being a well-trained assassin, she was highly sensitive to danger, quickly dodging the moment she saw the sharp blade thrusting at her.
But it was Jin Zijin's move; how could she possibly dodge it so easily?
