Tao Ning went out of the palace for several days on the pretext of going to her mother's grave.

These days, rats are eaten in the city.

When she first left the palace, she originally wanted to go to the house that killed Shen Wentai to search for clues.

I was afraid that I would leave some clues and let Gu Nuoer notice.

However, Tao Ning is not too stupid.

She was worried that someone was crouching in that house.

So she wanted to delay going for two days, but the night she first came out, she saw a few mice lying beside the slop bucket in the dark and damp alley.

The strange longing in my heart struck again.

She has lost her mind, and the only way to make the snake scales on her body less itchy is to eat mice.

Originally, Tao Ning wanted to eat the bird, but her movements were clumsy, as soon as the bird flew, she couldn't catch it.

But as the mice ate more and more, she found that although the snake scales were not itchy, they became clearer and clearer.

Today is the fourth night she has been out of the palace, and her entire right arm is covered with snake scales.

It feels very cold to the touch, enough to make people get goose bumps.

Tao Ning put down his sleeves and covered them tightly.

Fortunately, it was winter and no one would see it.

There is no moon tonight, only light clouds cover the sky.

The bluestone road in the alley was very dark.

Listening to the sound of water droplets, Tao Ning quietly stepped forward.

I don't know when it started, but she can see very clearly at night.

Even if he can't see his fingers, it is not difficult for Tao Ning to find the house where Shen Wentai lived.

Ever since Shen Wentai's tragic death, this house has been sealed off by Gu Nuo'er.

There is a government seal in black and white on the door.

Tao Ning has already explored the way in the past few days.

Usually there will be people from the government taking turns to guard and patrol here, but in the past two days, the rat corpses in the city have caused people to panic.

They all thought that monsters were causing trouble, and those officers and soldiers on duty at night hid in other places when the sun went down.

So, even if you push the door and go in, no one will find out.

With a "squeak", the wooden door opened.

The dark room is like a monster lurking in the dark night.

Tao Ning tiptoed into the courtyard, and first checked in the outer courtyard to see if there was anything left by him.

After checking around, she walked into the house.

As soon as she opened the door, her gradually sensitive sense of smell smelled an unusual smell.

It's the breath of a stranger!

Tao Ning immediately became alert.

There is someone in the room!

Just as she was about to turn around and run away, she heard a sound of "sha—", and the light of the torch suddenly ignited!

The interior is as bright as daylight.

Seven or eight imperial guards who were arranged to lurk here immediately rushed over and held Tao Ning firmly.

"Catch it! Come on, get the rope!" shouted the Janissaries.

Tao Ning struggled violently, and the three men held her down, but they were not as strong as her.

Her eyes were red, full of cruelty.

Tao Ning suddenly opened his mouth, turned around and bit the tiger's mouth of the Imperial Guard who was holding her shoulder.

"Ah—my hand!" The guard screamed.

Tao Ning took the opportunity to break free, and fled as if flying out of the door.

Several imperial guards hurriedly supported the injured companion.

I saw two small blood holes in the tiger's mouth of his palm, and the blood couldn't stop flowing!

The skin around the scar turned purple, where it looked like a human bite, it was clearly an animal!

"Look, what is this!" The imperial guard picked up a snake scale-like thing from the ground, and was taken aback.

The rest of the people looked at each other and felt bad.

One of them hurriedly said: "Hurry up, fire the fireworks, His Royal Highness Heping has orders, we must seize that thing tonight!"
