I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 46: Waiting for Your Return

The large fire spread all the way from outside the courtyard to the shadowy trees in the distance.

The leaves of the trees were swaying in the night wind.

The burning scene was quite beautiful, like a fire butterfly flapping its wings, floating in the sky.

The closer she got to the prince's main courtyard, Chu Shao's steps slowed down.

As she walked towards the main courtyard, she smiled at the purple wisteria tree in the yard, and then pulled up a black cloth to cover her face.

Most of the servants in the prince's mansion were attracted by the sudden fire.

In fact, Old Wang was just a bait released by Chu Shao, and her real target was the fourth prince.

But--

There was a sense of killing intent in the courtyard.

Chu Shao looked down at the moonlight on the ground, faintly thinking that it was frost.

From the moment she took the first step into the main courtyard, she knew that there were several experts hiding in the courtyard.

And she could be sure that one of them was lurking in the dark, staring at her with extremely dangerous eyes.

Chu Shao knew that she might not be able to kill the fourth prince tonight.

But she still smiled and walked in.

Because she felt that the most dangerous expert lurking in the dark was not the fourth prince's man.

So she was very curious about who the courtyard experts were guarding against.

Chu Shao smiled again.

Under the watchful eyes of several experts in the prince's mansion, she strolled into the courtyard.

The hidden experts in the courtyard watched the black-clothed person who broke into the main courtyard, but did not move recklessly.

They could vaguely feel that Chu Shao might also know of their presence.

So they turned their gaze to the woman sitting on the high eaves, seeking her guidance on the next move.

The woman sat expressionless on the eaves, with a faint glimmer in her eyes.

She held a sword and raised her hand, making only a gesture.

They instantly understood and decided to stand still.

As if stepping into a deserted place, Chu Shao walked easily to the window sill.

She looked into the room through the paper window.

The paper was pasted thickly, and she could only vaguely see two blurred figures. Although she couldn't see their faces clearly, their identities were very clear from their voices.

The woman's voice was indifferent: "What you did today was foolish."

Immediately, another voice sounded: "Aunt, since you want your nephew to act foolish, your nephew will naturally listen to you and act foolish to the end."

The crimson shadow inside slowly walked, as if staring at the other person, and then sneered: "This palace sees that you are not acting foolish at the command of this palace, but rather taking advantage of the opportunity to retaliate against the Prince Yan. You dare not move her, so you turn to Chu Shao... You tell this palace, isn't this a foolish thing to do?"

The fourth prince remained noncommittal and smiled: "Although your nephew knows that the third brother is useless to you now that she is crippled, your nephew has never acted against her, even if the third brother has provoked your nephew in many ways."
