Chapter 448: Assassination

Ah Qiao and Xiao Xiangzi can be regarded as having seen the world, and the two were also shocked.

Xiao Xiangzi had long known the Eighth Prince's thoughts about Gu Jinli, and Ah Qiao and Gu Jinli didn't think about it at all.

Especially Gu Jinli, who only regarded the Eighth Prince as a little boy who was slightly more mature than his peers.

The Eighth Prince put his hands behind his back, and his eyes swept over Ah Qiao and Xiao Xiangzi, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

After the two of them retreated, Gu Jinli blinked her eyes and waited for the Eighth Prince to speak.

After struggling last night, the more the Eighth Prince suppressed his thoughts about Gu Jinli, the more it backfired.

In front of his eyes, in his mind, it was all her.

Back then, she smiled gently, the clouds were light and the wind was light, a phoenix danced for nine days, and she was amazing and gorgeous.

Now she is cold and alienated, and she has exhausted her calculations, if she is about to leave, she is unpredictable.

Now that he is blue, he will not be able to hold back until dawn.

If it weren't for the fact that there was only a trace of reason left in his mind, he would really run to King Ning's Mansion to see her desperately.

I heard Xiao Xiangzi say just now that she actually entered the palace, and she went to Yin Suwan's courtyard, so he waited for her here.

However, as soon as I saw her, I didn't know where to start or how to speak.

After waiting for a while, Gu Jinli couldn't help but laugh and said, "Eighth Prince, you have been waiting for me here for the first three days and two days, aren't you also in love with me like your fourth brother?" ”

She thought she was talking with humor, and wanted to relieve the slightly awkward and stiff atmosphere.

After all, Qi Hao and she are both recognized as "broken sleeves" in the eyes of outsiders, and the eighth prince, who is red, will definitely not answer.

Who knows, the eighth prince pursed his lips and said softly: "What if I say yes?" ”

There was something wrong with this plot, Gu Jinli's eyes widened, her black and white eyes moved for a long time, and she twitched the corners of her mouth coldly: "Eighth Prince, I'm talking about playing, don't take it seriously." ”

The Eighth Prince put his hands on Gu Jinli's shoulders and said word by word: "I'm not joking. ”

"It's not." This sudden confession was too scary, and Gu Jinli's heart was a little flustered.

Breaking free of the Eighth Prince's hand, she took a step back: "We're not suitable, no, we can't." ”

"Fourth brother can, why can't I?" The eighth prince's hand was removed, and he became more and more stubborn, and his hand grabbed Gu Jinli's wrist again, forcing her to look at herself: "Fourth brother doesn't care that you are a man, and I don't care either." ”

The look in his eyes was no longer the warmth and simplicity of the boy in Gu Jinli's memory.

I don't know why, Gu Jinli actually thought of Gu Chengen, the man who was so paranoid that in order to get her, he almost cut her belly with a knife.

With a tight throat, Gu Jinli's head was a little empty, and it took a while to find a lame reason: "I don't like men younger than me." ”

"Also, people's words are terrifying, and in the future, please don't say anything like this again."

Since the eighth prince doesn't care about gender, and Gu Jinli can't expose his identity as a woman, he can only refuse from this age.

"No, that's not a reason." After hearing this, the Eighth Prince's tone was a little colder, and he stepped forward and got very close to Gu Jinli.

This action, in Ah Qiao's eyes, seemed to be close to each other, and he couldn't help but want to step forward worriedly, but was stopped by Xiao Xiangzi.

What the Eight Princes want to do, they are not qualified to stop it.

Ah Qiao didn't want to be touched by this annoying little eunuch, so he raised his hand and clasped Xiao Xiangzi's wrist, making him grin in pain.

With the force in his hand, the Eighth Prince had the intention of crushing Gu Jinli's wrist bone, and his lips opened slightly: "You are the fourth brother's side concubine, you still love him, right?" ”

The Eighth Prince didn't know that Gu Jinli had lost his memory, and now he only knew that his heart was extremely uncomfortable.

The feelings that have been suppressed for many years and the resentment that have accumulated for many years are all triggered by Gu Jinli's rejection.

Like a flash flood, like a volcanic eruption, he didn't want to hide his heart anymore.

He also loves her, and his love for her is no less than Qi Hao.

For her sake, she was willing to be used by Chen Zexuan as a knife, and she could also spare her life for her.

But why, couldn't she even give him a hope?

It's so ruthless, it's really too ...... It's too much!

Besides, Qi Hao hurt her like she back then, how could she still leave a place for Qi Hao in her heart?

"You!" Gu Jinli's eyes twitched, she raised her head in shock, looking at the Eighth Prince, who was now many taller than herself, her lips trembled slightly.

If it is said that the confession of the eighth prince just now was a thunder that fell from the sky, it made her scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

Then, her identity was so lightly exposed by him, that is, she suffered ten thousand lightning strikes in an instant, which made her feel desperate and helpless that she was about to be crushed to pieces.

Chen Zexuan should not tell the Eighth Prince that she is Gu Jinli, Gu Jinli can still be sure of this.

So, why did the Eighth Prince know her identity? And when did you find out?

Of course, the most important question is that he ...... And when did you fall in love with yourself? Why did you fall in love with her?

The eighth prince thought that Gu Jinli was at a loss because his identity was exposed, so he let go of his hand a little and said slowly: "I love you, so naturally I won't mind your identity." ”

"It's true that you are the fourth brother's side concubine, but that was before."

"Now, you're 'Lin Sheng', aren't you?"

"As long as you want, I can love you without scruples and love you with all my might."

After a pause, he said in a deep tone, as if muttering, as if sighing lightly: "As for what you want to do, I will also help you achieve your wish." ”

This last sentence made Gu Jinli's heart tremble again.

She looked at the deep and affectionate eyes of the Eighth Prince in a daze, and what was going on in her mind, she asked along her mouth: "Why?" ”

History is always similar, Gu Jinli feels that she is like Yin Suwan who was fooled by herself at the beginning.

In the face of this sudden "happiness", I was a little dazed and afraid.

And the eighth prince is the one who said similar lines to Yin Suwan at the beginning.

The Eighth Prince said something that made Gu Jinli want to raise her hand to touch her forehead and cry bitterly, "There is no why, love is love." ”

Looking up at the clear sky and white clouds overhead, Gu Jinli's eyes looked at it for a long time without blinking, until her eyes became sour, and then she said, "Eighth prince, there is no red rain in the sky." ”

This is the same thing as "unless the sun comes out of the west."

To put it bluntly, it is telling the Eighth Prince, you should die! Me and you will never be possible!

Refusal is always too hurtful, and Gu Jinli doesn't dare to say it too bluntly.

If this object is an adult cheeky man like Qi Hao, it will be just a man who has gone through vicissitudes.

But this eleven-year-old boy is very likely to fall in love with someone he shouldn't fall in love with just after the beginning of his love.

If Gu Jinli said it ruthlessly, she was really afraid of leaving some shadow on this young man.

In case, in the future, like Gu Chengen, he will hate out of love, or if he has a resistance to women, then her sin will be great.

"Farewell!" Hurriedly dropping these two words, Gu Jinli threw up her sleeves and left without hesitation.

When Gu Jinli looked up at the sky, the eyes of the Eighth Emperor were still on her, but Ah Qiao and Xiao Xiangzi not far away looked at the sky with her movements.

There was nothing in the sky, and when her neck was almost sore, Gu Jinli trotted and walked away quickly.

"Master!" Seeing this, Ah Qiao hurriedly followed.

The eighth prince's hand behind his back slowly loosened, and blood came out of his palm.

"Oops, Eighth Prince, your hand is bleeding?!" Xiao Xiangzi exclaimed, and hurriedly took the handkerchief to wipe the hands of the eighth prince.

The Eighth Prince withdrew his hand from Xiao Xiangzi's hand and looked at Xiao Xiangzi coldly: "Just now, did you hear anything?" ”

Xiao Xiangzi shook his head again and again, and said truthfully: "No." ”

The Eighth Prince asked again, "Just now, was there anyone passing by?" ”

Xiao Xiangzi shook his head again: "No." ”

"Oh" sounded, and the Eighth Emperor walked towards the net Mingyang Palace with an expressionless face.

Xiao Xiangzi thought about the "intimacy" that the Eighth Prince had for Gu Jinli just now, and shook his head.

Gu Jinli walked outside the palace, her steps were extremely fast, and Ah Qiao couldn't keep up: "Master, slow down, don't fall and bump." ”

I didn't dare to ask anything, after all, Gu Jinli's face was ugly.

It wasn't until she got into the carriage that Gu Jinli said unhappily: "Ah Qiao, I won't enter the palace if it's okay these days, if anyone has something to find me, they will say that I am unwell." ”

Thinking that the Eighth Prince's pulling and pulling action on her just now must have been seen by Ah Qiao, she exhaled a heavy breath, and she said again: "The Eighth Prince may really be sick, you have time to tell your brother about it, so that he can have time to enlighten the Eighth Prince more." ”

"There are thousands of good women in this world, don't let him think about it like this, he has to be infected with Qi Hao's habit of 'broken sleeves'."

"Broken ...... Broken sleeves? Ah Qiao gasped when he heard this.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince approached Gu Jinli every once in a while, he was really right, he had such thoughts about Gu Jinli.

Swallowing his saliva, Ah Qiao thought of such a good boy with picturesque eyebrows, and whispered: "It's a pity." ”

Gu Jinli snorted coldly and didn't bother to open her mouth to speak.

What is going on, so decent, an admirer suddenly appeared.

If this is the woman next to her, she may be complacent.

But Gu Jinli not only didn't like it, but was also extremely depressed.

She doesn't want anyone to like her now, she just wants to solve all the mess in front of her!

Irritably, she walked behind her, she didn't want to look at the regretful look on Ah Qiao's face.

After returning to King Ning's mansion, Aiyue and Hexiang saw that Gu Jinli's face was not good, so they privately dragged Ah Qiao out of the room and quietly inquired.

Ah Qiao is also not easy to tell the matter of the Eighth Prince, and he is not clear about what he has to say.

Aiyue couldn't find out, so she had to play with Xiao Hei's tail.

One of the protagonists of Yun Qi's marriage, he has been from Yun Country for two days at this time.

The day before yesterday, Zisang was directly taken under "house arrest" by the old emperor because he killed the crown princess.

Early the next morning, he was sent to the carriage to Yunguo by the Praetorian Guards.

Walking non-stop to the present, we will be able to reach the country of Qi almost tomorrow.

Around Zi Sang's carriage, all of them were the old emperor's right-hand men.

Strong martial arts and loyalty.

did not cooperate with Zisang's beating and scolding along the way, and turned a deaf ear.

Zisang went on a hunger strike, and the eight masters were not distressed, but Ye Xuanqing was distressed.

He persuaded him many times, but Zisang still didn't get a drop of water.

In the past two days, the little face is stubbornly pale.

"Master, you can eat something." Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Ye Xuanqing got into the carriage and handed over the food in his hand.

Zisang gritted his teeth, raised his hand and knocked the food to the ground with a "bang", "Get out!" This princess does not eat! ”

For Princess Zisang's fiery temper, the entire Cloud Kingdom is aware of it.

The Praetorian Guards, who were following outside the carriage, pouted when they heard the commotion inside.

Princess Zisang is unwilling to marry Qi Guo, and she uses such a hunger strike to fight, I really don't know whether she is stupid or backbone.

"Master......" Ye Xuanqing seemed to want to say something more, but was scolded by Zisang again.

The Praetorian Guards were very pitiful when they saw Ye Xuanqing coming out of the carriage with a dejected face.

"Da Da", the carriage continued to move forward.

Suddenly, the horse raised its hooves and neighed miserably.

The Praetorian Guard was stunned, and then saw a poison dart on the horse's neck.

The horse fell to the ground with a "thud", and the carriage swayed, knocking Zisang out of the window.

Countless black-clothed people fell from the sky like black feathers, and the sharp swords in their hands came directly at them.

"Protect the princess!"

Knowing that they had encountered an assassin, the Praetorian Guards also bravely met them.

Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting.

Ye Xuanqing tightly protected Zisang behind him with one hand, and brandished his sword with the other to defend against the man in black.

This time, there were more than 20 Praetorian guards accompanying Zisang to protect Zisang, and as many as 50 black-clothed men came to assassinate them.

Moreover, the people in black are extremely ruthless and deadly.

The Praetorian Guards boasted that their martial arts were extremely high, but in front of these men in black, they seemed a little weaker.

He only has the ability to defend, but he has no ability to attack.

Not to mention Ye Xuanqing, after a while, there were a few more bloody wounds on his body.

With a light skill, he tried to escort Zisang out of the encirclement, but the Assassins followed.

The Praetorian Guards were like chickens surrounded by a flock of fierce eagles, and the more they got to it, the more powerless they were to parry.

The leader of the army was kicked to the ground fiercely, and he got up in the direction of Ye Xuanqing and Zisang escaping, and vaguely saw that Ye Xuanqing was pierced through the shoulder blade by a sword.

Zisang was pushed far away by Ye Xuanqing, and he hissed and shouted, "Princess, run!" ”

Carrying his skirt and panicking, Zisang ran to the forest on the side.

The assassin's sword was pulled out of Ye Xuanqing's body, and the next moment he chased after Zisang.

Ye Xuanqing staggered a few steps, fell to the ground, and then supported the ground with his sword, barely stood up, and went to the grove.

Zi Sang was the old emperor's only princess, and if something happened to her, they would be killed.

"Quick, go find the princess!" Red-eyed, the leader looks like he's crazy, shouting at his companions as he makes a gap for them.

With his "shout", the Assassins' encirclement was really opened, and three or four Praetorian Guards rushed out.

However, when they reached the grove, they found themselves one step too late.

On the ground, the corpses of Zi Sang and Ye Xuanqing were lying.

The assassin who killed the two men had just put away his sword.

On the sword, there was still blood dripping with temperature.

"Princess!" The Praetorian Guards were shocked, and instantly they were frightened and motionless as if they had been lit by a wooden man with a hole.

The Assassin whistled and flew away.

When the other Assassins heard this, they all stopped fighting and evacuated.

The leader was badly wounded, and if he continued to fight, the sword of the assassin he was fighting against him might have slashed his neck.

At this time, he was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, and his eyes were still filled with fear and happiness for the rest of his life.

"Boss, boss!"

A Praetorian Guard ran over, and his voice trembled, "Princess Zisang and Guard Ye...... They...... They're dead! ”

When the leader heard this, the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap", and instantly there was a feeling that death was coming again.

The news of Zisang's assassination soon spread throughout the two countries.

In the palace of Yunguo, the old emperor knocked over the cup in his hand.

The hot water splashed all over him, but he didn't feel the slightest pain.

His eyes were blank, but his trembling lips were speechless for a long time.

Seeing this, Concubine Ying, who was sitting next to the old emperor, cautiously called: "Your Majesty? ”

The old emperor raised his reddened hand and waved it, signaling that he was fine.

His voice was hoarse, and he drove Concubine Ying away for the first time: "You go out, I want to be quiet." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Concubine Ying blessed her body very wisely, and walked out of the hall gracefully.

After the door was closed, Concubine Ying heard a heart-rending cry from inside: "Zisang! ”

Concubine Ying sneered, thinking that if there was knowledge under the purple mulberry spring, she must be very moved.

She has been thinking about her father for many years, and she can finally cry and grieve for her once.

At the same time, in the palace of the Qi Kingdom, after receiving the news, the old emperor immediately summoned Qi Hao, who was training soldiers in the barracks, into the palace.

"What do you think about the assassination of Zi Sang?" The old emperor's eyes shone like to interrogate a prisoner, which made Qi Hao very unhappy.

"Father, aren't you suspecting that this matter was done by your son?" Qi Hao raised his eyebrows, and said with a disdainful expression: "Even if Erchen has no intention of marrying her, in the final analysis, he has no deep hatred with her, so he will not be ruthless to her." ”

The old emperor didn't let go of the little expression on Qi Hao's face, a little convinced, but still a little skeptical.

It stands to reason that if Qi Hao really wants to deal with someone, there are not many times when he really wants to deal with someone behind his back, and he often comes straight.

However, then again, the old emperor had an extremely tough attitude to use the throne to blackmail Qi Hao, and he was not allowed to be forced to be in a hurry, reckless, and do such an extreme thing.

Qi Hao sensed the old emperor's suspicions, and said quietly: "Father, this matter has nothing to do with the sons. ”

"It wasn't Erchen who did it, Erchen wouldn't carry this black cauldron."

With that, he turned to leave.

"Wait!" The old emperor scolded Qi Hao, frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Even if you didn't do it, but your previous refusal to marry was so obvious, some people will suspect you!" ”

"In recent days, you have been more low-key and cautious, and don't let people grab the talk!"

"I have to send a letter to the Emperor of Yunguo in a while to express comfort, don't make trouble for me anymore!"

The meaning of the old emperor's words is that no matter whether Qi Hao has done it or not, he is at fault, and he must do it with his tail between his legs.

Qi Hao snorted coldly, threw up his sleeves and left.

The old emperor slapped the table angrily, and it took a long time to calm down his anger, write a letter to the old emperor of Yunguo, and send Father-in-law Jia to find someone to send it.

In the Hibiscus Courtyard, Aiyue stood behind Gu Jinli, pinched Gu Jinli's shoulder, and sighed: "Tsk, I really didn't expect that Princess Zisang would die on the way to Qi Kingdom!" ”

Gu Jinli was shocked when she heard the news just now, she couldn't imagine that such an arrogant and domineering woman would die like this, and she felt a little sorry, but listening to Aiyue's words that she had said more than three times, she didn't feel anything.

Putting the medical book in her hand directly on her face, she chose to ignore Aiyue.

Seeing that Gu Jinli was so faceless, Aiyue deliberately pushed her arm, and said on a whim: "Master, you say...... It can't be the princess Zisang who was assassinated by the prince, right? ”

With a "click", Gu Jinli's book fell to the ground.

Aiyue leaned over to pick it up, and suddenly saw a pair of black boots and a black skirt in front of her vision.

With a bad feeling in her heart, she looked up and really saw Qi Hao's cold face.

"Let's go", and the book fell to the ground again.

Wanting to cry without tears, Aiyue stiffened her face: "Wang ...... Rajah? ”

"You repeat what you just said." Qi Hao raised his chin, his eyes were very dangerous.

"The slave didn't say anything." Aiyue hurriedly stuffed the book into Gu Jinli's hand, and then ran out with a smoke.

Ah Qiao and He Xiang went to the backyard to bathe Xiao Hei, so only Qi Hao and Gu Jinli were left in the house.

Gu Jinli pinched the book, and her heart was disturbed by Aiyue's words just now.

She looked up at Qi Hao, but she was still silent.

Qi Hao sat down, looked into her eyes, and said slowly: "You are also like Aiyue, thinking that I killed people?" ”

Gu Jinli's gaze avoided Qi Hao, landed on the book in her hand, and said coldly: "I don't know." ”

Before she saw Qi Haolai, she was the same as the old emperor, and she was suspicious of him.

After all, he was so crazy about her love, if he killed Zisang for her, it would be something he could do.

It's like kicking Shen Biyun's leg back then, and almost killing Yin Suwan with one palm.

However, after seeing him, Gu Jinli completely dispelled her doubts.

If it was really him, he wouldn't come to ask her, but directly told her plainly that he killed the person.

This tacit understanding between the two of them, although there is a gap of two years, still exists.

"On my way back from the palace, the people in the dark camp have already found some clues." Probably, because he loves Gu Jinli too much, Qi Hao still cares about her thoughts, and explained: "The assassin is a person in the rivers and lakes, and someone should buy a murderer, maybe he wants to frame it on my head." ”

"It's just that who this person is, I haven't found out for the time being."

Gu Jinli still didn't react much, her eyes staring at the medical book.

Qi Hao sighed, stood up, and said in a slightly lost tone: "You read the book." ”

When he walked out of the door, he couldn't help but look back again, and Gu Jinli happened to raise his eyes to look at her.

may not have expected Qi Hao to turn back, Gu Jinli quickly lowered her head again.

When the eyes of the two met, Qi Hao's loss just now was gone.

He knew that although Gu Jinli showed indifference, she must have listened to his words in her heart.

Thinking about it this way, the steps of going out are not too heavy.
