Gu Li, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Shuo Feng who was guarding the side, his expression was still faint, and asked, "Is there anything unusual in the mansion in the past two days?"

Shuo Feng, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, everything has been fine for the past two days, you don't need to worry." ”

"And what about the people who stay here at night?

"There are people on duty here every day, and no one has ever approached except for other doctors who have come to see me."

“………”

It was obviously a good thing, but Gu Li's face was obviously gloomy.

Shuo Feng asked tentatively, "Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?"

For a long time, so long that Shuo Feng thought that he would not speak again, Gu Li said in a low voice, "Princess, has she ever been back?" ”

Shuofeng breathed for a moment and fell silent.

There was a faint smell of medicine in the room, mixed with the smell of blood, and the flow of air became sluggish. Maybe the atmosphere in the room was too dreary, or maybe it was the silence of the wind that made him react - she wouldn't be coming back.

Gu Li lowered his eyelids, retracted his gaze expressionlessly, and slowly rubbed the jade wrench on his ring finger with his fingertips.

Shuo Feng couldn't bear it, and comforted: "Lord, the princess was arrested. If she knew that you were poisoned, she would definitely do everything she could to come back to see you, but she is not free now, and the gangsters who kidnapped her will not let her go, and she is a powerless woman, so she will naturally not come back. ”

"Lord Wang, the Nine Emperor Princes are here." The official said softly outside.

"Well, let him in." Gu Li's indifferent voice sounded.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates went down first." Shuo Feng said respectfully.

"Hmm."

"Third brother, how is your body? Is it better? Before Gu Chenyu came in, the voice came from afar.

Gu Li smiled helplessly, although his younger brother has followed him since he was a child, he didn't follow him at all, he was grinning and straightforward, but he was also a lover, if he liked it, he liked it, if he didn't like it, he didn't like it, and he never beat around the bush.

"I'm much better, don't worry." When Gu Chenyu walked to his window, Gu Li said softly.

Gu Chenyu continued to ask: "No, third brother, isn't your poison already cured, why are you still so weak?"

Gu Li's face didn't have a trace of blood, his eyes were half-closed, and he whispered: "Poisonous invasion for many days, just woke up, isn't it normal to have weakness?" ”

"Third brother, what do you want to do?" Gu Chenyu frowned and said: "I felt that something was wrong since you were poisoned, even if you were careless in order to save people, and let that assassin succeed for a while, but you can't fight back without any power, and you have been in a coma for so many days before the poison is solved." If you are so weak, then who killed all the Assassins, not a single one? ”

Gu Chenyu suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes widened, "Third brother, don't tell me, you detoxify yourself every day, and then poison yourself?" ”

Gu Li didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either.

Gu Chenyu looked at him in disbelief, "Are you crazy?" No matter how good your medical skills are, if you continue to play like this, do you want to make yourself a poisonous person? ”

Gu Li carefully rubbed the wrench on his hand, and the unconscious movements seemed to have become a habit, "I thought she would come back." ”

Gu Li closed his eyes, his Adam's apple rolled, "If she doesn't come back even if I poison her, can she come back?" ”

Gu Chenyu's body shook, "Third brother, third sister-in-law, she was arrested, how did you let her come back?" ”

"Really?" Was she really captured?

But why did he think about it more and more that she just didn't want to come back, didn't want to come back to him.

When such thoughts arise, there always seems to be a dull pain somewhere wearing the jade wrench, from the fingers to the chest, an indescribable feeling.

…………

After Mu Qianxia simply disguised herself, she rushed to the palace.

"Princess? You, you're finally back, you don't know, during the days when you weren't there, how low the air pressure in the house was, we didn't dare to talk casually in the house, and we lived trembling every day, but fortunately you are back now, and our hard days can be over. As soon as the guards at the door saw Mu Qianxia, they immediately excitedly told them about their suffering in the past few days.

Mu Qianxia smiled slightly, but did not answer, and after these guards finished speaking, they walked towards the mansion.

Some of these guards were very eye-catching, and when they saw Mu Qianxia for the first time, they ran to inform Shuofeng.

When Shuo Feng first heard the news, he thought he had heard it wrong, and his face was full of shock and disbelief. It wasn't until the guard finished speaking for the second time that he ran outside excitedly.

"Princess, you are finally back, how are you, are you hurt? Is there anything wrong with it? Shuo Feng said with a concerned face.

"I'm fine. Where is Gu Li? I've got something to look for him. Mu Qianxia didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"The prince is resting in the bedroom, and I will lead you over now."

"No need, I still know where his bedroom is, I'll just go there myself."

"Okay, then the subordinates won't bother the princess."

…………

Mu Qianxia didn't let anyone inform, pushed open the door of Gu Li's bedroom, and walked in lightly.

I saw Gu Li on the bed with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping, and Mu Qianxia tiptoed to the side of his bed, for fear of disturbing his sweet dreams.

Mu Qianxia lowered her eyes, listened to Gu Li's shallow breathing, looked at his long and curled eyelashes and slightly pale cheeks, even if she was full of complaints, she had to admit that even in her sleep, Gu Li was still so delicate and picturesque, and at this moment, coupled with his pale cheeks, it made people want to protect for no reason.

"Shuofeng, didn't I tell you that I wanted to rest for a while, don't come and disturb me? If anything, wait until I get up. Gu Li's voice was very soft, revealing a hint of sleepiness.

Seeing this, Mu Qianxia didn't want to disturb him, but when he thought of the matter of the imperial brother, he couldn't help but speak: "Gu Li, it's me."

Gu Li's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, and his dark eyes stared straight at Mu Qianxia, as if he wanted to see the depths of Mu Qianxia's soul.

Mu Qianxia was startled by Gu Li's sudden opening of her eyes, and she didn't react for a while, staring straight at Gu Li's eyes, like a black hole, sucking her whole soul into it.

Time seemed to stand still, neither of them opened their mouths to break the quiet atmosphere, I don't know how long it took, Mu Qianxia looked away, coughed unnaturally, and said, "I heard that you were poisoned."

Gu Li sat up with Mu Qianxia's support, leaned on the bed, and said, "Well, it's been solved, and now it's fine." Shallow, you didn't come back because I was poisoned, right? ”

"I heard that you saved a man, about thirty or forty years old, so I want to ask you if that man is my imperial brother."

"If this man weren't your royal brother, would you still leave without hesitation like before?" Gu Li asked without answering.

Mu Qianxia didn't answer, and for a while, the room fell into an eerie silence again.

As time passed, Gu Li finally chuckled, breaking the peace between the two, "Shallow, you guessed correctly, the person I saved was your imperial brother, the former emperor of Western Chu, Mu Chenyi." ”

Mu Qianxia suddenly felt that his whole person was much more relaxed, and the depression that had been suppressed during this period of time was relieved in this instant, and the big stone in his chest finally landed: "Where is my imperial brother now?"

Gu Li avoided answering and said, "Don't worry, your imperial brother is safe now, I have sent someone to protect him, and there will be no more accidents." By the way, there is also a woman with your imperial brother, who looks like she is about eighteen or nineteen years old, and her relationship with your imperial brother seems to be very close, do you know this woman? ”

Mu Qianxia thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I have never heard my imperial brother say it, it should be that the imperial brother met when he disappeared outside, and I will ask when I see the imperial brother." What's wrong, do you think there's something wrong with that woman? ”

Gu Li shook his head and said, "At present, I don't feel that there is a problem with this woman, either this woman is too deeply hidden, and even I have deceived her, or this woman is completely fine."

"Gu Li, I want to see my imperial brother tomorrow, I have a lot to say to him, where is he?" Mu Qianxia repeated what she said before.

"Shallow, you can't go to your imperial brother now, to be precise, can you go to him recently enough."

"Why?" Mu Qianxia was puzzled.

"Your imperial brother has been assassinated several times recently, and the time I rescued him, he is also being hunted down. The whereabouts of your imperial brother were discovered earlier than me. I have fought against the group of people who hunted down your imperial brother, and each of them has unique skills, otherwise I would not have been poisoned, so the people who hunted down and killed your imperial brother are definitely not ordinary people. We must not go to see your royal brother again until we find out who is chasing and killing your royal brother. Gu Li calmly analyzed.

"You say, will the person who hunted down my imperial brother be the current emperor of Western Chu?" Mu Qianxia pondered for a moment.

Gu Li shook his head lightly and said, "No, the current throne of the four princes is basically stable, even if your imperial brother goes back now, it is impossible for him to be the emperor again, so the fourth prince will not send someone to hunt down and kill your imperial brother." Even, he will respectfully welcome your imperial brother back to Xichu, let him be the emperor, and show his filial piety to the world. ”

Mu Qianxia thought for a moment, felt that what Gu Li said was very reasonable, nodded quite approvingly, and said, "Then according to what you say, who is chasing and killing my imperial brother?" My imperial brother has no grievances and no enmity with others outside, and now he is no longer the emperor, and he can't hinder anyone's interests, who wants my imperial brother's life? What exactly is his intention?"

"I think I might be able to guess who wants your brother's life." Gu Li said softly.

"Who?" Mu Qianxia couldn't wait to ask.

"My imperial brother, the great prince of Eastern Qin, Gu Chenjing!"
