Chapter 46: The Grace of Saving Lives
"Miss......" Ming Tao followed Gu Jinli's side with a lantern, and after a long struggle, she still spoke: "You treated the eldest lady like this just now, she will definitely not give up." ”
Gu Jinli thought about the eldest lady's face that was about to hold back her internal injuries, and she unconsciously wanted to laugh, and even her attitude towards Ming Tao became gentle: "Are you caring about me?" ”
Ming Tao whispered: "You are the master of the slave, slave...... Slaves and maids should naturally think of you. ”
To say that Ming Tao still had two hearts for Gu Jinli before, but tonight, the eldest lady and Gu Jinxiu actually heard the conversation between her and Gu Jinli, so instead of the pair of femme fatales and mother and daughter coming to settle accounts with them in the future, it is better to immediately abandon the darkness and show loyalty to Gu Jinli.
"Oh." Gu Jinli was noncommittal and continued to walk forward.
The meaning of Ming Tao's words is to imply that he has drawn a clear line with the eldest lady.
Jin Mei has a few catties and a few taels that are directly expressed on her face, and Ming Tao, this girl, is much more scheming than Jin Mei......
However, since she is willing to surrender, she will do everything she can and accept her for the time being.
It's just that she will never be able to take the place of Aiyue and Hexiang......
After all, the human heart is the hardest thing to see......
"Miss be careful!"
Suddenly, a figure came out of the shadows, making Ming Tao scream in fright, and pulled Gu Jinli behind him.
Maybe Ming Tao reacted too much, and the people who came were also stunned in place.
"Eight...... After the Eighth Prince ...... see clearly, Ming Tao hurriedly put down the lantern and saluted uneasily: "Slave maid...... The slave maid has seen the Eighth Prince. ”
The Eighth Prince raised his hand to signal Ming Tao to be polite, and said in a low voice, "I have something to say to Concubine Gu alone." ”
Ming Tao glanced at Gu Jinli, and then retreated into the distance with interest.
The young man in the moonlight, although his height had just reached Gu Jinli's eyebrows, the shadow on the ground was slender.
He took a step forward, and there was a heaviness in his eyes that did not match his age, "Today's grace will be repaid later." ”
Of course, Gu Jinli understood why he thanked him, shook his head, and said, "The Eighth Emperor is serious. ”
Saving him was purely accidental, but she didn't want to be innocently involved in the royal family's open and secret fight, so she smiled slightly and raised her feet to the front hall.
"Concubine Gu!"
Just a few steps away, Gu Jinli paused, looked back at the Eighth Prince, and was a little puzzled.
The Eighth Prince looked at Gu Jinli quietly for a moment, and asked softly, "Sister Wan's legs...... Was it really you who killed me? ”
Gu Jinli's eyes flashed, leaving the Eighth Prince with a back.
When she returned to the main hall, she didn't know how many rounds of singing and dancing had changed, and the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra diluted the previous discord clean.
Usually she only likes plain clothes, which makes her already light temperament even colder, and this red Li brocade dress is not as charming as the Baifeng Chaoyang skirt when dancing, but it unexpectedly adds a touch of gaudy and noble to her, like the scorching sun, burning everyone's eyes.
However, fortunately, in less than a cup of tea, the queen mother returned to the palace, and the emperor and the queen also left the table together, and the banquet was dispersed.
Qi Hao glanced at her with an uncertain expression, and then walked out of the hall with Yin Suwan in his arms.
Gu Jinli also stood up and walked towards the palace gate with the flow of people.
Suddenly seeing a familiar figure in front of her, she quickened her steps and caught up: "Big brother! ”
Gu Chengen felt that his arm was being held by a small hand that was as soft as a boneless, and he was stunned for a moment, and then there was a faint wave in his eyes.
"Something?" His voice, as cold as ever.
Gu Jinli was a little nervous for some reason, moved her lips, and whispered, "I've always wanted to find an opportunity to say thank you to my eldest brother." ”
Gu Chengen said "um" and was silent.
Just when Gu Jinli was embarrassed and wanted to leave first, she heard Gu Chengen say in a deep voice: "In King Ning's Mansion, be careful in everything. ”
He...... Does this mean caring for her?
Gu Jinli blinked her eyes and looked at Gu Chengen carefully, as if she knew him for the first time.
"Humph!"
Gu Jinli looked sideways, and Qi Hao and Yin Suwan passed by.
