Chapter 15: Assassination

Yunzhu used to be quite plump, and the baby fat on her cheeks looked very cute.

Perhaps, it was also because she had an outstanding appearance that she had such a mind in the first place.

But now...

Yunzhu has only been in the Huanyi Bureau for more than ten days, but now he is already a little shaped.

Her eye sockets are deep-set, and there is a heavy blue shadow under her eyes.

The busyness of the Huanyi Bureau made it impossible for her to have enough time to rest.

The whole person is also in a state of almost madness.

Gu Qinghuan's heart suddenly jumped, he retracted his mind, and followed Yaqi and continued to walk forward.

She is all to blame, and there is really nothing to sympathize with.

A quarter of an hour later, when Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi came out of the Internal Affairs Mansion with carbon on their shoulders, there were already some fine beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Not long after the death of Empress Daxing, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was short of manpower, so they had to work hard to get charcoal by themselves.

Fortunately, the two little eunuchs are powerful.

Gu Qinghuan reluctantly took a small basket, and muttered in a low voice: "If we can have such a basket, we don't have to freeze at night." It's so cold, I don't know when it's going to snow. ā€

"yes."

Yaqi also echoed: "Brother's location is remote, and there are many trees, so it will be colder. ā€

Talking all the way, the four of them continued to walk back with the charcoal fire.

When I passed by the Huanyi Bureau again, the door that had been hidden before had been closed at some point.

Gu Qinghuan's heart was relieved, she actually didn't want to see Yunzhu now.

The previous thing, although it was obviously not something that a small palace maid like Yunzhu could do.

However, the muddy water behind that incident was not something that Gu Qinghuan could easily wade into.

This matter may only be slowly figured out.

"It's finally almost here..."

Yaqi looked at the door at the turn of the front palace road, and while letting out a long breath, she riveted enough strength to hold a basket of charcoal and continue to walk forward.

"You can watch the steps you take."

Gu Qinghuan walked in front, and when he was stepping over the small threshold at the corner, a strong wind suddenly burst out on his side, and a figure flashed out.

"Gu Qinghuan, I want you to die!"

"Be careful!"

Almost between the lightning and flint, Gu Qinghuan glanced at the side where the movement came, and saw someone holding a hairpin and stabbing at him.

It's Yunzhu!

Yun Zhu was already crouching in the place where Gu Qinghuan and his party were going back to Brother's house.

She was hiding around the corner, holding a hairpin in her hand. Seeing Gu Qinghuan being the first to come over, he immediately rushed forward and stabbed the hairpin into Gu Qinghuan's neck.

Gu Qinghuan only felt that he was violently bumped by someone, and someone was blocking in front of him.

Yaqi hugged Gu Qinghuan.

When the two of them hugged each other, their bodies leaned slightly to the side, and the hairpin did not stab Gu Qinghuan's neck.

But...

It brushed past Yaqi's cheek, bringing up a few drops of blood.

"Hold her!"

Yaqi pounced on Gu Qinghuan's body, and the two of them fell to the ground at the same time.

The two little eunuchs, who were almost dumbfounded, hurriedly threw the two baskets of charcoal in their hands aside, and stepped forward to pull Yunzhu one after another.

Suddenly, Yunzhu was almost unable to move.

But Yunzhu seemed to be crazy, and after throwing away the hairpin in his hand, he began to bite the two little eunuchs.

"Are you alright?"

Gu Qinghuan glanced at Yaqi who was pounced in front of him, bit his lip, and his eyes turned red.

It was she who was too careless.

She only cared about the unfathomable behind the matter, but she didn't expect Yunzhu to be crazy to such an extent.

"I—" Yaqi touched her cheek, and suddenly there was a lot of blood on her hand. Her eyes suddenly went dark, and the person fainted.

On Yaqi's cheek, there was a bloody cut.

Blood had already started to drip down her fair cheeks.

"Gu Qinghuan, it's all your fault."

Yun Zhu was still going crazy, seeing that the two little eunuchs were almost unable to pull her.

Yaqi was still fainted in Gu Qinghuan's arms, and Gu Qinghuan pulled Yaqi back with great effort and settled in a slightly safer place on the side.

"Don't worry, I will definitely get justice for you."

Gu Qinghuan took the handkerchief and helped Yaqi wipe the blood on her cheek.

But the blood was still seeping out, and after the veil was wiped off a little, blood flowed out again.

Gu Qinghuan took a deep breath, then stood up and walked towards Yunzhu.

"You hate me so much?"

Gu Qinghuan grabbed Yunzhu's hair and pulled her head up.

Yun Zhu was in pain, and the whole person immediately looked at Gu Qinghuan with bared teeth and said, "Can I not hate you?" What kind of life did I spend in the Raccoon Bureau? ā€

"Isn't it you, let that ugly grandmother whip me all day long?"

She had her whipped her?

"I didn't!"

"You don't?"

A hint of ridicule appeared at the corner of Yunzhu's mouth, and said, "Then you might as well take a look, what is in my hand?" ā€

Gu Qinghuan took a deep look at Yunzhu, and after pulling her sleeve up, several shocking scars were suddenly revealed.

Some of the old scars had scabbed, but the new ones were still oozing a little blood.

Yunzhu was indeed abused.

However, it was not what she Gu Qinghuan meant.

"Although I am not as good as you, I am not as talented as you. But I'm smart, and I know how to serve someone. ā€

Yun Zhu's voice was poignant and hoarse, and she said faintly: "But why, Aunt Yuehua's person is you, not me?" ā€

"With your virtue, Aunt Yuehua can see that you are a ghost!"

Not far behind him, a man's voice suddenly came.

Gu Qinghuan looked back, but saw that the person was very familiar.

Amazingly, it was Zhang Tingyu.

"Zhang Gongzi?" When Gu Qinghuan was surprised, he saw Zhang Tingyu's eyes looking at them, and he suddenly changed from anger to anxiety.

"Be careful!"

Zhang Tingyu shouted, and Gu Qinghuan hurriedly looked back.

Yun Zhu struggled to break free from the shackles of the two little eunuchs, and pounced at once, opening his mouth to bite Gu Qinghuan.

"Why, why do people save you every time?"

Gu Qinghuan violently pushed Yunzhu with his hand, and it happened that Zhang Tingyu also arrived, and kicked away Yunzhu who was almost lying on Gu Qinghuan's body.

Yunzhu was suddenly pushed away, fell to the ground, and after struggling a few times, he couldn't support himself anymore.

"Go and look at her."

After Zhang Tingyu finished giving instructions to the two little eunuchs, he looked at Gu Qinghuan again and asked, "How are you?" You okay? ā€

Gu Qinghuan shook his head with a solemn face.

She's fine.

But Yaqi just blocked it for her, but the injury on her face was so serious.

All of this is because of this Yunzhu.
