Chapter Seventy-Three: Planning (2nd Watch)
Gu Qingcheng quietly took out a sachet, which contained the medicinal powder given to her by Long Yuting, just to deal with the need for emergencies, but she didn't expect it to come in handy today. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Tsing Yi served the tea cup as before, Gu Tingcheng only took a sip lightly, and then spit it out, she frowned and reprimanded: "You taste it, why do I think there is something wrong with the taste of this tea." ā
Tsing Yi and Lu Yi took a sip and said, "Back to the princess, the slaves and maids didn't notice anything wrong with this tea. ā
"Really?" Gu Qingcheng raised his voice and asked, and the atmosphere on his face became very condensed.
When Tsing Yi and Lu Yi saw her like this, they couldn't help but feel embarrassed, in the past few days, they felt that the princess was acting a little strangely, and Steward Chen asked them to live well with the princess and not let her move around.
"The slave will make you tea again." Green was about to walk out the door, when suddenly the sky swirled, and she covered her forehead, but she still felt dizzy.
"Greencoat, what's wrong with you?" Tsing Yi was about to go over and help her up, but after just a few steps, she found that she was so lightheaded that she couldn't open her eyes.
Gu Qingcheng watched their actions closely, until she saw them fainting one after another, she stood up and walked in front of them and said, "I'm sorry, in order to rescue the cuckoo, I can only do this to you." Just now, she took advantage of Tsing Yi and Lu Yi not paying attention, and secretly spilled the medicinal powder in the teapot.
When she walked out of the room, she saw a glow outside the window, and it was already twilight, she couldn't help but speed up her pace, preparing to rescue the cuckoo before dark, otherwise after night, Shen Tianao would not be in a good situation when he returned to the bedroom.
She walked along the path of the palace towards the house where the cuckoo was held, for the sake of prudence, she deliberately walked to the window to observe the movement inside, only to see that the cuckoo was still tied to the pillar, and there was a big man standing beside her, Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but gasp, the caretaker was tall, she didn't know if she was completely sure to take him.
Gu Tingcheng threw a stone outside, making some noise, the guard saw that there was movement outside, and hurriedly ran out to check, she took advantage of this time to hurry to the house, she came to the place where the cuckoo was, and called softly: "Cuckoo, I'm here to save you." ā
The cuckoo opened his eyes slightly, opened his dry lips and said, "Princess, why are you here?" ā
"I slipped in." Gu Qingcheng used a dagger to cut the rope on her body, and the cuckoo was already scarred because of the whipping in the past few days, and he couldn't lift his strength all over.
Du Juan said weakly to Gu Qingcheng: "Princess, you go quickly, leave me alone." ā
Gu Qingcheng looked at the dying cuckoo, how could she bear to abandon her, she helped her to walk out of the door: "How can I have a reason to see death and not save me, if I torture you like this for a few more days, you will die." ā
As soon as the two of them walked to the door, Gu Qingcheng saw the guard walking towards them menacingly, she felt a little bad in her heart, it was not good that they were discovered by him, and they were almost about to leave this room, how could they be stopped at the last moment.
She lifted the cuckoo to the wall, quietly pulled the dagger out of her bosom, and when the man approached, she pulled out the dagger and pounced on it with lightning speed.
The guard saw that she was a weak woman, and he didn't take her to heart, but he didn't expect her to attack so suddenly, so that he couldn't take it off guard, and his chest was cut and pierced by her dagger, and red blood flowed out of his chest, he looked at the petite woman in front of him incredulously, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down.
He raised his hand and pointed at Gu Qingcheng and said, "You can't escape." ā
Gu Tingcheng glanced at him lightly and said, "That's a lot to say." ā
After saying that, she hit the man's head with the back of the knife, and the man fainted before he could glare at her, after all, Gu Qingcheng is not a ruthless person, she can't do this thing of killing, and it is the best thing to stab him and then knock him out.
She put a new cloak on the cuckoo, covering her mottled bloodstains, and she continued to help her out.
"Princess, this princess is heavily guarded, how can we leave?" Du Juan asked softly, the moves that Gu Qingcheng used just now really made her dumbfounded, but no matter how exquisite the princess's martial arts were, she couldn't withstand the many guards in the palace.
Gu Qingcheng turned his face and glanced at Du Juan, tightened his coat for her and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I have been prepared." ā
She took the cuckoo to a remote place as much as possible, after all, the palace was so big, and it was impossible for the guards to cover all the corners of the mansion, plus Gu Qingcheng secretly observed these places on weekdays, so it was not very difficult to take the cuckoo to the backyard of the palace.
Gu Qingcheng pulled the withered grass to the side, and a hole that could accommodate a person was exposed, and the cuckoo looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, and asked in a low voice, "Princess, let's leave from here?" ā
"Well, this is the place I prepared some time ago, because this is the only place where the Anqing Mansion is the most lax." Gu Qingcheng looked around, and saw that no one had caught up, so she helped the cuckoo to walk over, and she advised, "You are injured, be careful when you pass." ā
After the cuckoo walked out of the hole, Gu Tingcheng followed her closely behind and drilled out of the hole, and in order to attract people's eyes, she covered the hole with hay again.
The entrance of the cave was connected to a forest, and after the two of them came out of the hole, Gu Tingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, and she said to Du Juan: "Let's go back to Fengyazhai first, I hope Shen Tianao didn't find that place." ā
In the palace, Tsing Yi and Lu Yi woke up after a long time, and when they opened their eyes, they found that Gu Qingcheng was long gone, and standing in front of them were Steward Chen and King Anqing, thinking of the dizziness just now, they suddenly understood that all this was just a trap set by the princess, and it was better to get out of it if they were stunned.
"Lord, the slaves and maids should be damned, they didn't take a good look at the princess." Green Dress knelt on the ground and said with tears in her eyes.
King Anqing glanced at them lightly, and said with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth: "You really deserve to die, but if it weren't for you, how could I know her plan." ā
Tsing Yi and Lu Yi listened to King Anqing's words, and couldn't help but look at each other, how could the prince, who was still crazy, suddenly become better, they felt quite surprised, and after thinking about it, they understood it in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it, the secrets of the masters, which are what they can discuss casually as maids.
"Lord Wang, what are you going to do with the princess?" Steward Chen asked in a deep voice, Gu Qingcheng made such a big mistake, according to the character of King Anqing, he would definitely not be spared.
Shen Tianao said unhurriedly: "Send someone to follow her, remember not to alarm her first." (To be continued.) )
