"What?!" When Mrs. Liu heard this, her whole person seemed to have been struck by lightning in an instant, and her face turned blue and white.

She propped her hands on the table beside her and said in a trembling voice, "That...... The assassin, will you ...... me?"

The words are not a word, which shows how worried Mrs. Liu is about the East Window incident at the moment.

What is Gu Jinli's status in Qi Hao's heart, not only the whole Ning Wangfu knows it, but even the entire Qi Kingdom has seen it.

Back then, Qi Hao once took a leave of absence from Yin Suwan for Gu Jinli, broke with the Yin family, and had a dislike with the Queen Mother......

And now, Qi Hao has regained what she has lost, and the person she was thinking about in his heart has returned, and it is impossible for him to allow anyone to hurt her.

If Qi Hao knew that he had sent someone to assassinate Gu Jinli, then ......

Clenching her fists fiercely, Mrs. Liu suddenly regretted that she had been impulsive.

It's all to blame for the damn incense, which made her lose her reason and thinking in the fog after inhaling.

Under the strong jealousy, she couldn't help but let Xueqin go to the assassin.

"Master, don't worry, that person shouldn't confess to us." Xue Qin naturally knew what Mrs. Liu was afraid of, and while she comforted Mrs. Liu, she comforted herself: "Last night, the slave maid was veiled, and he didn't see the slave's face. ”

"So, even if he is tortured, he can't tell one, two, three."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, her eyes, which had lost their vitality like a dead fish, instantly glowed with color and light: "Are you serious? ”

"He really didn't see your face? Are you sure? ”

Like a drowning person, Mrs. Liu looked at Xueqin eagerly, as if as long as she said a word of affirmation, her crisis could be resolved.

Xueqin nodded heavily, "Yes, the slave is sure, don't worry, master." ”

"Besides, that little slut has usually offended a lot of people, who would have thought that we would buy murder?"

Exhaling a breath of turbidity, Mrs. Liu's mind was still unsteady and said, "I hope so." ”

Biting her lip, she said again: "In this way, you go and keep an eye on the Fuyuan Courtyard, and if there is any trouble, come back to report to me immediately." ”

"Yes." Xueqin nodded, turned around and left Qiu Juyuan.

In the Fuyuan Courtyard, Aiyue listened to Gu Jinli talk about the thrilling events that happened at the wedding in Yin's mansion today, and let out a few sighs of emotion from time to time.

When she heard that Jiang Qinglan had been poisoned inexplicably, she was speechless; When she heard about Gu Jinli's assassination, she was furious.

Although Hexiang also felt sorry for Yin Zike and worried about Gu Jinli, her face was quite normal, and she could sit still, and she didn't shout like Aiyue.

Gu Jinli seemed to be telling someone else's story, her brows did not frown, her expression was light, her tone was light, and she was very indifferent.

Aiyue hugged Xiao Hei in her arms tightly, and said angrily: "Master, Mrs. Liu, this woman, really can't be kept!" ”

"We don't usually see her in general, and she still kicks her nose in the face?!"

Without waiting for Gu Jinli to respond, Aiyue sighed again: "Fortunately, the prince took a knife for you, otherwise according to the ferocity of that assassin, the slave really didn't dare to imagine what would happen at that time." ”

As soon as Gu Jinli heard Aiyue mention Qi Hao, a pool of bright red blood and a deep wound appeared in front of her eyes.

Her eyes moved slightly, and she changed the topic and said, "Hexiang, Ah Qiao and I are not in the house, what is the movement over there in Qiu Ju Courtyard?" ”

Hexiang thought for a moment and shook her head, "Madam Liu is very calm, and she may stay in the house and wait for the news of your assassination." ”

"Now that you're back safe and sound, maybe she's going to keep things going."

Suddenly thinking of something, Hexiang said in a low voice: "Master, this morning, when the slave maid went to the front yard to ask Steward Zhou for five-color silk, she met two little maids. ”

"Slave maid...... Heard some gossip about Mrs. Liu. ”

"Oh?" Gu Jinli raised her eyebrows and became interested: "She is raising a man in the mansion behind Qi Hao's back?" ”

As soon as she heard that there was gossip to hear, Aiyue's eyes were shining: "Could it be that she has found a new dog?" ”

"Uh......" Seeing Ah Qiao, Hexiang rarely looked at him with a curious look, so he had to say, "Mrs. Liu didn't raise a man, and she didn't find a new dog." ”

When Aiyue heard this, she was instantly disinterested, "Oh, what did she do then?" ”

"The two little maids secretly hid behind the rockery and chatted, saying that Xueqin would share the bed with Mrs. Liu every night."

"Although Xueqin is Mrs. Liu's personal maid, no matter how you say it, there is a difference between master and servant, and you can't mess with the rules."

"The most important thing is that the maid also said that when she got up at night several times before, she heard some ...... coming from Mrs. Liu's room."

"Something?" Aiyue's eyes lit up again, and she looked at Hexiang's unspeakable appearance, and felt that there must be a mysterious relationship between Mrs. Liu and Xueqin.

Sure enough, Hexiang said embarrassedly: "Some cheerful voices are coming." ”

"Oops!" After hearing this, Aiyue clapped her hands excitedly and shouted excitedly: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!" ”

"It turns out that the 'grinding mirror' written in the tea rabbit book really exists in life!"

"Poof", I didn't pay attention, and Xiao Hei, who was originally lying on Aiyue's lap, fell directly to the ground.

It has recently been fattened and looks less like a fox.

It was a black mess, and then he shrank his head under his belly, and he didn't know that he thought it was a bloated fat cat.

He snorted twice in dissatisfaction, but no one paid attention to it.

"Huh?" After hearing this, Gu Jinli was stunned for a moment, picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip of tea, but she was afraid that she would burst out laughing after drinking it.

She couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of her mouth, so she could only pause for a while before drinking tea.

"Master, you say, when Mrs. Liu and Xueqin are happy in bed, who will attack?" Smiling from ear to ear, Aiyue blinked her eyes and said with a wicked smile: "Mrs. Liu and Xueqin are about the same in size and size, in terms of personality, Mrs. Liu is the master, Xueqin is the slave, according to normal, Mrs. Liu should be the main attack." ”

"But not necessarily, after all, there are many people who ...... in the book."

"Love Moon." Although he knew that Aiyue had been poisoned by the tea and tea rabbit books too much over the years, so that she couldn't extricate herself, Hexiang still interrupted Aiyue's words, and habitually persuaded her bitterly: "I have told you many times, read less of the books of the tea and tea rabbits, if this is heard by others, it will inevitably cause trouble for the master." ”

"Now Mrs. Liu's single-mindedness is not good for the master, what if you ......"

"Lotus incense." In front of Gu Jinli and Ah Qiao, she was so ruthlessly counted by Hexiang, and Aiyue, who loves face, was naturally unhappy.

She pouted and said aggrievedly: "I haven't read Chacha Rabbit's book for a long time, and I've read it before." ”

"I don't blame my brain, I can only blame Chacha Rabbit for writing too deeply into the hearts of the people, and it's hard for people to forget."

"Ah Qiao, if you can find an opportunity tonight, bring me this girl Xueqin." Gu Jinli took a sip of tea, put away her smile, and said quietly: "Since she and Mrs. Liu can be so close, then let's start with Xueqin!" ”

"Yes." Ah Qiao saw that Aiyue was still a little sullen because of Hexiang's words, so he said: "Aiyue, didn't you say last time that the stitching method of the robe I embroidered for the master was wrong?" Anyway, there's nothing to do now, let's go, you go teach me. ”

After that, he directly pulled Aiyue and walked out the door.

Hexiang also realized that she had said something serious, and she blamed herself very much.

Knowing that Ah Qiao was indirectly giving herself the steps, she smiled at Ah Qiao gratefully.

"Hexiang, don't go to your heart." Gu Jinli saw the interaction between the three maids in her eyes and comforted: "Aiyue is straightforward and fast-talking, and she is not a person with a small belly, she will not be angry with you." ”

Hexiang nodded, and said helplessly: "Back then, the slave maid and Aiyue both thought that the master was dead, and they were sad for two years. ”

"Now that you're back, master, there are so many sinister villains in the secret."

"The slave maid and Aiyue are not as good as Ah Qiao in terms of wisdom and martial arts."

"I can't help the master, I just don't want to make trouble for you."

"If it's really because of the two slaves and maids, those people take advantage of the loophole and hurt you, slaves and maids...... I can only apologize with death! ”

As she spoke, Hexiang's voice trembled, and her eyes turned red.

Feeling the sincerity of Hexiang's words, Gu Jinli felt heavy, and said distressedly: "In the past two years, I have made you suffer. ”

"No, the slave and Aiyue are not hard at all, they just miss their masters all the time." Hexiang couldn't help but wipe the corners of her eyes, and said with a forced smile: "Now that the master is back, it is worth the wait for the slave and Aiyue." ”

"Hexiang, the current me is not the same me that I used to be bullied. I have the ability to protect myself, and I have the ability to protect you. Standing up, Gu Jinli held Hexiang's hand and said slowly: "So, you and Aiyue don't have to be careful anymore and live on thin ice." ”

"Don't worry about any mistakes in your words and deeds that will cause me trouble, just be yourself."

The tears that the "master......" couldn't control anymore fell because of Gu Jinli's words.

Hugging Gu Jinli tightly, Hexiang choked quietly.

Indeed, in the past two years, she and Aiyue have relied on each other in this Fuyuan Courtyard.

Because of Qi Hao's special care, there has never been a shortage of them in the house in terms of clothing and food.

All the materials were sent by Du Jiang in large quantities at the beginning of the month, and they never stepped out except for the Fuyuan Temple.

There is no quarrel with the world, and it is isolated from the world.

At the beginning, Mrs. Liu and Xueqin also came to the door to provoke several times.

After all, these two maids were loyal to the Lord during Gu Jinli's lifetime, and it stands to reason that when the master died, they should also follow.

It seems that only by being martyred can it be justified.

However, the two of them were like shrunken turtles, huddled in the Hibiscus Courtyard all day long, gasping, which was a bit unusual.

But no matter what tricks Mrs. Liu and Xueqin used, the two maids were like cultivating the incorruptible body of King Kong, invulnerable, soft and hard.

To be precise, they all have the courtesy that Mrs. Liu should do, but they are expressionless all the time, and no matter how ugly Mrs. Liu and Xueqin say, they won't roll their eyes.

After many times, Mrs. Liu also felt that it was really boring to compete with these two maids, so she would not come to the door in the future.

Fuyuan Courtyard is the courtyard where Gu Jinli lived before her death.

When Gu Jinli jumped off the cliff of despair, this courtyard was the thought of the two girls.

Guarding this courtyard, he deceived himself into thinking that Gu Jinli was still there.

Of course, according to their feelings for Gu Jinli, they are naturally not afraid of death.

But they couldn't die.

Because, at the beginning, Yin Suwan poisoned Aiyue and threatened Gu Jinli with Aiyue's life.

Gu Jinli jumped off the cliff, partly because she was really desperate, and partly because she was for Aiyue.

Since Gu Jinli can give up life and death for Aiyue, if they die as some people wish, wouldn't they be sorry for Gu Jinli?

No matter how they lived, whether they started over or became numb, they didn't have the right to die.

At that time, everyone thought that Gu Jinli was dead, and there was no doubt that there was no need to doubt it.

Therefore, in King Ning's Mansion, Hexiang and Aiyue only need to remember Gu Jinli, who is no longer in the world, every day.

Missing someone is a very simple thing.

In the bottom of my heart, silently.

But now, Gu Jinli is back, although they don't need to think endlessly, but because they are worried about losing Gu Jinli again, their every move, word and deed can no longer be as casual as when there were only two people in the courtyard.

Qi Hao's attention to Gu Jinli made more eyes stare at Fuyuan again.

Gu Jinli's identity must not be exposed.

Therefore, Hexiang and Aiyue are really as Gu Jinli said, and they are cautious and cautious when speaking.

During the day, I was tired and hard, and my spirit was highly stressed.

At night, it is rare to get a good night's sleep.

However, being able to get Gu Jinli to treat each other sincerely, the two of them were satisfied.

Hexiang has always been steady, and her emotions are not exposed, and her crying made Gu Jinli's heart even more uncomfortable.

Patting Hexiang on the shoulder, Gu Jinli sighed lightly: "After my brother and I are done, we won't have to live this kind of miserable life soon." ”

Hexiang's body trembled, raised her head, looked at Gu Jinli, and opened her mouth, "Master, you and the prince really want to ......"

Before Gu Jinli jumped off the cliff, Gu Jinli secretly asked Hexiang to sneak out of the house with Aiyue to find Chen Zexuan.

Their master and servant made an appointment and gathered at Chen Zexuan's place.

It's just that the plan hasn't changed quickly, who would have thought that Yin Suwan, a woman, would be so vicious that she would take Gu Jinli to the Desperate Cliff......

What Gu Jinli and Chen Zexuan want to do is not something that a maid can ask by themselves.

However, she could guess a little bit about what they were going to do.

It was a thing with no turning back, a dangerous thing, and it would also hurt Qi Hao to the point that it was incomplete.

Qi Hao's heart for Gu Jinli can be seen by the sun and the moon.

The relationship between Gu Jinli and Chen Zexuan, whether it is cooperation or really becoming brothers and sisters, Hexiang is just afraid, and when it comes to it, Gu Jinli will regret it.

Gu Jinli took a deep breath and turned her face away: "Hexiang, there is no turning back when you open the bow." ”

"As early as the moment I returned to Beijing, I had no way back."

"Those people owe me debts, and I can only be willing to take them back every inch of it."

Hexiang hesitated for a while, and whispered: "But, the prince is ......."

"Hexiang, you go out, I'm a little tired." Waving her hand, Gu Jinli walked in the direction of the bed.

"Yes." Hexiang sniffed and stepped back lightly.

When night fell, Gu Jinli and Qi Hao came back during the day, but these two people still didn't make any moves at night, and the more time passed, the more unstable Mrs. Liu's heart became, so she had to send Xueqin to continue to stay in the dark and stare at it.

It was windy at night, and Xueqin hid in the dark, stretching her neck and looking around from time to time.

Suddenly, I felt as if something was floating behind me.

She swallowed, turned her head to look back, and when she saw that it was empty behind her, she tightened her sleeves.

Just as he was about to continue to look at Fuyuan again, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck, his eyes were black, and he fainted.

When Xueqin woke up again, she found herself in Gu Jinli's house.

Gu Jinli was lowering her head and blowing the hot tea in her hand, and when she saw that Xueqin woke up, she looked over coldly with a pair of cold eyes.

On the side, there are three girls, Aiyue, Hexiang and Ah Qiao.

The three of them also stared at themselves with gloomy eyes.

Xueqin got up from the ground and took a few steps back in a panic, her voice full of fear: "Gu ...... Concubine Gu, what do you want to do? ”

"Concubine Gu?" After hearing this, Gu Jinli narrowed her eyes, the cold light in her eyes instantly turned into a knife, and sneered: "Xueqin, what do you say I want to do?" ”

"Now that you know who I am, do you think I still have a reason to keep you alive?"

"What's more, you were instructed by your master to buy and kill me."

"You say, what will I do with you?"

"Be truthful and evidence-based." Although Xueqin's body trembled like chaff, she still tried her best to stop swaying, and refused to admit it: "Concubine Gu, you keep saying that I was instructed by my master to buy murder, if you can't come up with evidence, you will be spewing blood!" ”

"Ah Qiao." Seeing Xueqin's dead duck's hard mouth, Gu Jinli gave Ah Qiao a look.

Ah Qiao understood and threw the portrait on Xueqin's body, "See for yourself!" ”

Xue Qin opened the portrait, and when she saw herself on the painting, her face was even whiter than before.

Gu Jinli took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Xueqin, in fact, if I want to kill you, I don't need any evidence or reason at all." ”

"After all, you and Madam Liu don't have much status in this Ning Wang's Mansion."

"Your master is not favored, even if she dies, Qi Hao will not be reluctant."

"Your master and servant have harmed me many times behind my back, and I will get rid of you, rightly speaking."

"You ......" I don't know if it's because what Gu Jinli said is the truth, or because I know that she will do what she says, in short, Xueqin's legs are a little weak.

Standing up, Gu Jinli walked in front of Xueqin.

With a flick of his wrist, he pointed at Xueqin's acupuncture point, and then Gu Jinli had an extra dagger in her hand.

Before Xueqin could dodge, a bloody streak had been cut from the dagger on her neck.

"Ahh Screaming in pain, Xueqin suddenly felt that death was approaching.

Seeing this, Aiyue said with a smile: "I can't stand it with just a small cut, and I will cut off your meat piece by piece, which will cost more than 3,600 knives, and you still have to shout your throat?" ”

He Xiang smiled slightly, and answered cooperatively: "It doesn't matter if your voice is broken, our yard is remote, and no one can hear it." ”

"However, it won't take more than 3,000 knives, maybe 300 knives will bleed and die."

Gu Jinli clasped Xueqin's shoulder hard, put the blood-stained knife against the artery in Xueqin's neck, and said with a smile while rubbing it gently: "It's all about a one-day husband and wife, I won't say how many days you and Mrs. Liu have been 'fake couples'." ”

"Besides, you have been loyal to Mrs. Liu for so many years, I think you should not be afraid of death according to your loyalty, right?"

The three words "fake couple" made Xueqin's already frightened eyes tremble instantly.

She opened her mouth wide in disbelief, as if she was surprised by the intimate matter between herself and Mrs. Liu, how did Gu Jinli know?

Gu Jinli only smiled silently, and the knife in her hand slowly and gently began to cut through Xueqin's skin.

However, it was not her artery that was scratched.

Because, Gu Jinli also wanted to use Xueqin to deal with Mrs. Liu.

The smell of blood in the air became stronger, and the strong pain made Xueqin really think that Gu Jinli was cutting her artery.

He couldn't move, and could only let the blood flow out of the wound.

It was cold all over her body, Xueqin felt the blood dripping on the placket on her chest, completely losing the confidence she had just now, and choked up: "Gu ...... Concubine Gu, slave maid...... The slave knows that she is wrong! ”

The slave confessed that it was...... It's the master...... She ......"

"What about her?" Gu Jinli made a movement in her hand, waiting for Xueqin's next words.

"It was the master who instructed the slave!" Xueqin bit her lip tightly, closed her eyes suddenly, as if resigned to her fate, and couldn't cry: "Everything is the master's idea, begging Concubine Gu to leave the slave maid this cheap life!" ”

Seeing Xueqin's greedy appearance and fear of death, Aiyue pursed her lips and sighed: "I thought that the relationship between you and Mrs. Liu must be stronger than Jin, but I didn't expect that when it comes to life and death, you are nothing more than that!" ”

"Ding", hearing Gu Jinli throw the dagger on the ground, Xueqin dared to open her eyes and whispered: "In this world, how many people are comparable to Miss Aiyue and Miss Hexiang?" ”

"Slaves and maids are more willing to die because their lives are cheap."

Aiyue "cut", very disdainful.

People don't punish heaven and earth for themselves, this sentence has been passed down to this day, and it really makes sense.

It's just that people are not exactly the same.

Xueqin can betray Madame Liu for her own life, but she, Hexiang and Ah Qiao will not.

Because loyalty is more important than life.

Also, Gu Jinli is the best master in the world, and she is worth everything that these girls have to pay for.

No matter how she said it, she had been in King Ning's Mansion for so many years, and Xueqin naturally understood that Gu Jinli would not let her go so kindly.

Swallowing her tears, she plucked up her courage, looked a little painful and tormented, and said, "Concubine Gu, what do you want the slave to do?" ”

Gu Jinli didn't answer immediately, but walked around Xueqin a few times, then picked up a lock of hair on her shoulder, sniffed it, and chuckled: "Mrs. Liu has a habit of incense, right?" ”

Xueqin didn't know Gu Jinli's intentions, so she could only say truthfully: "Yes, the master likes Su Hexiang." ”

"You don't just have the smell of Su Hexiang on you." Gu Jinli withdrew her hand and said coldly: "Also, the forbidden incense in the palace!" ”
