Zhou Shunhua felt guilty after seeing Tang Shishi not speaking for a long time. After all, she was only a seventeen-year-old girl, and was far inferior to the Empress Dowager Yao, Feng Momo, and the others.
Tang Shishi was able to move in the hands of the Empress Dowager Yao, then came out unscathed, and also won the title as the leader for the beauties' entourage. It can be said that Tang Shishi has a good sense of words and observations. Looking at Zhou Shunhua's subtle changes in her expression, Tang Shishi became more and more certain of her guess.
Indeed, there are other people here. Moreover, Zhou Shunhua knew.
She was covering for the assassin.
Based on the book and time, Tang Shishi guessed that Zhou Shunhua should have just finished arranged other people and returned to her room later. She wanted to pour a cup of tea to moisten her throat because she was thirsty from talking too much. As a result, through the reflection of the tea, she saw someone on the beam on top of the room.
Zhou Shunhua's back was facing Tang Shishi before she entered the door, as soon as she saw Tang Shishi, she immediately drank the water. Zhou Shunhua intended to cover up, but Tang Shishi was here to expose her.
When the door was suddenly pushed open, why her first reaction was to drink the tea in the cup? The normal response should be to put a cup of tea on the table.
But Zhou Shunhua didn't, and she was by herself, most likely she was worried that Tang Shishi would see the person on the beam on top of the room through the reflection of the tea.
When Zhou Shunhua was nervous incessantly, Tang Shishi suddenly smiled. Tang Shishi lifted her skirt while carrying her bag and entered the door, and said to Zhou Shunhua curiously, "Sister Zhou, do you know that many soldiers broke in from outside, apparently looking for an assassin."
Zhou Shunhua clenched her fingers unconsciously. She saw the bag in Tang Shishi's arms and changed the subject and asked, "Aren't you going to Feng Momo's room, why are you back?"
"I heard someone calling 'there's an assassin' on the way to Feng Momo's room. I thought it would be too dangerous for Sister Zhou to stay in the room alone, so I wanted to come back and to accompany sister." Tang Shishi said without thinking, and walked into the room casually, Zhou Shunhua became speechless, and quickly stopped Tang Shishi.
Tang Shishi slowly raised her eyes and stared at Zhou Shunhua intently when she saw her movements. Zhou Shunhua retracted her hand in embarrassment, coughed, and said, "I'll be fine by myself. It's a kindness from Feng Momo to look for you, so many people can't even have such a rare chance. Don't delay, go quickly."
Tang Shishi took a new porcelain cup with a smile, picked up the teapot, and slowly poured water into the cup, "Although her kindness is good, how can it be compared to our deep sisterhood feelings. I am more worried about Sister Zhou. It doesn't matter if I don't go to Feng Momo for the sake of Sister Zhou. We are the beauties sent from the palace anyway, the soldiers dare to offend the Empress Dowager by breaking into the relay post station to search, what do you think of this assassin?"
