Chapter 106: Dowry, Should We Do It in Advance?
The last two days have been peaceful, and the only fly in the ointment is that Gu Li has not paid attention to her since he came back from the Chen Mansion that day. Mu Qianxia went to look for Gu Li more than once, Gu Li was either not in the house, or he didn't have time to see her because of important matters, but later he said too directly that he didn't want to see her, and he didn't even bother to find a reason.
Mu Qianxia was turned away again and again, even if she had a good temper, she probably couldn't bear it, and she even began to wonder if men had a few days every month.
On this day, Mu Qianxia went to find Gu Li again, and not surprisingly, she was stopped by Gu Li's guards again. This time, Mu Qianxia was determined to see Gu Li, completely ignoring the guards' obstruction, and directly broke in.
Sure enough, at this moment, Gu Li was sitting in the courtyard and concentrating on playing chess, only to see his slender jade-like fingers gently clasping the cold and warm chess pieces. Mu Qianxia sat opposite Gu Li without saying a word, and said, "Gu Li, you go out with me."
Gu Li didn't say a word as if he hadn't heard it, as if he was pondering.
Mu Qianxia didn't care what Gu Li was thinking, he put the chess pieces in his hand in the chess box on the side, took Gu Li's hand and dragged him out, and said while dragging: "You accompany me to buy something."
They walked towards the Treasure Pavilion.
Gu Li didn't know what to buy at first, so he casually walked around, "Princess, what do you want to buy?" Gu Li opened his mouth after a long absence, he looked down at Mu Qianxia holding his hand tightly, his mood suddenly became quite good, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly.
Mu Qianxia didn't look back and said: "Today, the imperial brother sent someone to send me a message, saying that my wedding date is about to be set, let me buy something I like in advance as a dowry." By the way, he also asked me to buy something to give to the prince of Eastern Qin as a token of affection. β
Gu Li's selection of actions paused like this.
Of course, Gu Li will not know what the dowry means - soon, her wedding date will be set, she will get married, and the person she marries is still his "good royal brother" - the eldest prince of Eastern Qin, Gu Chenjing.
But even if Gu Li knew it clearly, his brain was still dull for several seconds before he could clearly digest these two words.
She asked him to accompany her...... Pick a dowry and a token of love?
Scold. Gu Li sneered in a low voice.
Gu Li's body stiffened visibly, and he was silent for a while, "So what?" β
Mu Qianxia said casually: "You are so smart and witty, you must know what I send is the best, which can be distinctive and reflect my identity."
Gu Li glanced at Mu Qianxia lightly, "Is the princess joking?" Where did you see that Gu understood this? Gu is just a reckless and vulgar person, how can he understand this?"
Mu Qianxia's face didn't change, "I didn't say you would, just take a casual look, and you're so busy every day, sometimes you need to take a proper rest, besides, I can't find anyone else who can accompany me to buy things." β
Gu Li suddenly really didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh.
How can he be so virtuous, he can make Mu Qianxia look up to him so highly!
"Sister Princessβ"
As soon as Gu Li's idea came to him, he heard Mu Xiaoxi's happy voice coming from not far away.
The eyes of the two looked over at the same time, and they saw Mu Xiaoxi standing beside Han Yan, greeting them with a smile.
Gu Li's face changed slightly.
Mu Qianxia asked happily, "What a coincidence, why are you here?"
Without waiting for Hanyan to speak, Gu Li said coldly: Since Hanyan is here, the princess might as well go and ask Hanyan directly, he was born in a big family, he must know these very well, Gu Mou still has something to do, so he will go back first. β
"Wait." Mu Qianxia twisted her eyebrows and called out to stop Gu Li. But Gu Li didn't stop, and walked straight towards the door.
At this moment, the surrounding voices seemed to fall silent suddenly.
Just between the lightning and flint, the cold light in the air rose one after another, and a group of people dressed in black suddenly rushed into the door!
Before Mu Qianxia could react, a pair of hands grabbed her arms and threw her to Mu Xiaoxi's side.
Outside the door, another group of guards poured in to join the battle, and the two sides fought fiercely.
Mu Qianxia and their side, there are still several killers, although Mu Xiaoxi knows a little kung fu, but it is impossible to defeat a hundred with one enemy, Mu Qianxia immediately picked up a bench and threw it towards the other party, blocking the killers who rushed over there.
Suddenly, two cold swords stabbed at Mu Qianxia at the same time!
Gu Li's face changed, and he was about to come over, but was stopped by several assassins who suddenly rushed over.
Mu Qianxia closed her eyes, and at this moment she knew a truth - if something happens, you have to rely on yourself, and you can't rely on men alone.
Mu Qianxia relied on his three-legged cat kung fu and under the protection of Mu Xiaoxi, dodging left and right, but he didn't suffer any serious injuries.
Fortunately, there were not many guards, and all the Assassins were quickly eliminated.
Mu Qianxia breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that had been hanging finally slowly fell.
It's just that during the fight just now, her arm was accidentally cut by an assassin, and at this moment she came back to her senses and felt a hot pain.
Gu Li saw Mu Qianxia's wound, his pupils shrank, "Mu Qianxia......"
As soon as the words fell, Han Yan, who was walking with him, suddenly stabbed the dagger in his hand into her chest!
"Thorn-" sound.
Although it was pushed away in time by the cold smoke, the tip of the knife inevitably sank straight into her chest.
Mu Qianxia's body shook, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Gu Li's face changed suddenly, "shallow......"
Gu Li suddenly hugged her, and his low voice tightened, "How are you?" β
Mu Qianxia glanced at him, endured the pain, and a weak smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Gu Li, I'm fine." β
Gu Li had a calm face, "I'm a doctor, it's up to me to decide how your injuries are!" β
Mu Qianxia raised her head, looked at the cold smoke on the side, and asked puzzledly, "Han Yan, why?"
Han Yan's eyes flashed, "I ......"
"You're not Hanyan, who the hell are you?" Her words were suddenly interrupted by a cold voice, and the man's face was extremely gloomy.
Han Yan looked at him in shock, "Brother Gu...... How can you say that? Just because I just stabbed her, so I'm not a cold smoke? β
Gu Li suddenly raised his hand and lifted it from the edge of her cheek, tore it with a sound, and ripped off a human skin mask.
Everyone was stunned for a while.
This man is in the same group of assassins as before!
Gu Li looked at Mu Qianxia coldly, "Mu Xiaoxi, what's going on?" β
Mu Qianxia is really Mu Xiaoxi, so just now, at the first time, no one would know that the cold smoke beside Mu Xiaoxi was fake.
Mu Xiaoxi was shocked, and shook his head like a dumb eater, "I, I...... I really don't know anything! When I came out to buy something just now, I met Brother Hanyan......" She looked at Hanyan in disbelief who was not Hanyan in front of her, "I didn't think that he was not the real Brother Hanyan." β
Gu Li's cold gaze seemed to pierce her.
After a long time, he slowly withdrew his gaze.
Gu Li's face was extremely cold, and he took out a sword from the scabbard of the guard on the side, and pointed it straight at the male assassin, "Say, who sent you?" β
The male assassin chuckled and slammed his neck forward.
Unexpectedly, he killed himself!
Gu Li looked at his fallen figure coldly, threw his sword, and already had a suspicious candidate in his mind.
Gu Li looked down at Mu Qianxia in his arms, changing the coldness when he looked at the assassin just now, his eyes moved slightly, "Shallow......"
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
Gu Li hugged her horizontally, his eyes dark and deep, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you back for healing right away." Anyway, he didn't care about Mu Xiaoxi, who was standing aside at a loss, and strode away with long legs.
The pain in his chest made Mu Qianxia's face paler and paler, and Mu Qianxia didn't have the strength to speak again, so he was silent.
probably saw that Mu Qianxia's face was very bad, and Gu Li did not continue to talk to her.
Back in the house, Gu Li immediately sent her to the room.
She was injured in the chest this time, and she was embarrassed to ask Gu Li to give her medicine again, Gu Li teased: "In the eyes of the doctor, there is no distinction between men and women, and the last time the princess was hit by an arrow in the chest, I gave the medicine for the princess."
Mu Qianxia's pale face due to excessive blood loss suddenly turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "Last time it was because I was seriously injured and fell into a coma, but now that I am conscious, I can still deal with this small injury by myself."
Gu Li was not reluctant, and directly prepared the medicine box and the best trauma medicine for her and put them in front of her.
Before Gu Li left, he deliberately asked with a smile: "Princess, do you really need help?"
Mu Qianxia said without hesitation: "No."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After Gu Li came out of Mu Qianxia's room, he immediately entered the palace.
After he left, Mu Chenyi immediately summoned the people of the six departments to the imperial study to hold a meeting.
In the past, the prince would be brought to the prince for such a major event, but today he was not brought, and the prince knew that something was not quite right.
The prince hesitated for a while, and finally went to the queen's Fengyang Palace.
The queen also knew that something was wrong at this moment, and there were people with her in the six departments, and when she saw the prince at this moment, she hurriedly walked towards him.
The queen said coldly: "Your father, the emperor, really has the idea of abolishing the prince!" In a word, the prince's heart was cold to the extreme.
The prince's body shook slightly, "Queen Mother, then do we need to do it in advance?" β
The queen gritted her teeth, "Wait, let Bengong think about it again...... Hongu needs to think again! β
"Queen Mother!" The prince immediately said urgently: "It's all at this time, what feelings do you still need to take into account?" He doesn't want you anymore, if his father had you in his heart, he would not have come to this far, let alone want to abolish the palace. Mother, you know very well, why do you still believe that man's sweet words? β
The queen glared at him fiercely, "How can you say that, he is your father after all!" β
Daddy? Will his father want to abolish his position as crown prince?
The prince sneered and said, "Queen Mother, you said that if the father and emperor knew that the **** on Chinese New Year's Eve was buried by you, would he still think that you still have feelings for him?"
The queen's body shook.
