King Liwang seemed very irritable, and repeatedly complained about the various wrongs of the Marquis of Lin Guo's mansion.

Gu Xiaonuan sat next to him and listened quietly, just comforting the king a few words, and didn't say too much about the Marquis of Lin Guo's mansion. She knew that the king was suspicious by nature, and if she also said that Lin Guohou's Mansion was not, he would definitely think that he also had an opinion about Lin Guohou's Mansion. And he didn't say anything, but let him feel that he was generous, and he didn't take so many calculations to heart. will be even more ashamed of yourself.

Seeing that Gu Xiaonuan didn't say a word that the Marquis of Lin Guo's Mansion was not, Liwang suddenly felt that she was still the same as before. is so naïve, thinking that everyone in the world is like her, without scheming, and will not do such a vicious thing. I'm afraid she didn't know until now that all her unexpected encounters were related to the Lin Guohou Mansion.

With a sigh, King Lili took Gu Xiaonuan's hand and said softly, "Ah Yao, don't worry, this king will never let you suffer the slightest harm in the future, and this king will protect you." ”

Gu Xiaonuan looked at him and smiled slightly, but didn't say anything. In that case, she just listened. Because she knows very well that he is probably the most unwilling person to let go of herself in the future.

Gu Xiaonuan was injured and couldn't sleep, and she said that she was smeared with medicine all over her body, and the smell was unpleasant, so she was afraid of disturbing the rest of the king. So he let the king go back to his bedchamber, and the king was afraid that he would not have a good rest in the future, so he went back.

Since knowing Ping'er's identity, Gu Xiaonuan has paid special attention to her.

Ping'er is mediocre in appearance, and she is not outstanding among these palace ladies. Or maybe that's why not too many people pay attention to her. After all, such a popular person, who seems to be honest, does his duty on weekdays, and does not make any mistakes, who will notice it.

I have to say that Chen Shangshu is really cautious, even if he is inserted, he knows what kind of person to place.

"This summer is really annoying, this scald wound is not easy to recover, this weather is so hot, the good is even slower, how can it go on like this."

Ping'er, who was wiping the floor outside, heard a slight voice from the cabinet, raised his gaze, and glanced at it.

It was late at night, and most of them had fallen asleep, only the palace people who kept vigil were still there.

Under the dimly lit palace walls, Ping'er carefully hid underneath, looking around, as if waiting for something.

After waiting for a long time, she was a little anxious. She couldn't wait any longer.

Fortunately, when she was about to leave, that person appeared, it was a little Gong'e who was as old as her.

"Ping'er."

"Why did you come, I've been waiting for a long time." Ping'er was obviously in a hurry.

The little Gong'e looked around, took out a small bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Ping'er, and whispered, "My lord said, find a way to add this medicine powder to the queen's scald cream, and she will die violently in less than half a month." ”

Ping'er was a little worried and said, "However, if the queen dies violently, we will not be able to escape the blame, what will I do to get out of the country at that time?" ”

Seeing that Ping'er was worried, the little Gong'e patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, this medicine powder will only make the queen's wounds worsen, and in the end, the high fever will not go away, and she will die violently, even if the imperial doctor comes in the end, I can't see any clues." ”

Ping'er nodded when she heard this, and said, "Let the adults rest assured, I will definitely do it without a trace." ”

That little Gong'e smiled and said, "You are the most relieved to do things." ”

"Oh, really?"

Suddenly, a voice came, in that voice, the little Gong'e wanted to escape, but was held down by Wei Rou who jumped down from the palace wall, and Ping'er also wanted to prepare to escape, but was also held down by the voice.

Gu Xiaonuan slowly walked out of the gate next to the palace wall, and looked coldly at the two people who were held down at this time.

When Ping'er saw that she was caught by the queen, her face suddenly turned pale, and she was pressed to the corner of the wall by Tingyin and trembled.

Gu Xiaonuan hadn't seen that little palace e, and she didn't know that she was on an errand in that palace, but she asked Wei Rou and Tingyin to escort them back.

When she turned around, Gu Xiaonuan saw Pei An standing at the door, looking at herself, her heart trembled slightly, but she immediately regained her calm.

looked at Pei Andao, "A few little Gong'e have unclean hands and feet and have stolen things." ”

Pei An nodded slightly, bowed to the queen and retreated to the side. Gu Xiaonuan took both of them in.

It's just that the little girl who was escorted by Wei Rou suddenly shook her wrist slightly when she entered the door of the main hall, and a sharp dagger slipped from her cuff and slashed towards Wei Rou.

Instinctively, Wei Rou took a step back, avoiding the sharp dagger in her hand, but she pounced backwards the moment Wei Rou avoided it.

Gu Xiaonuan walked in front and didn't look back, nor did he see the dagger that had fallen on his back.

When she saw it, the long sword in Pei An's hand had passed through her abdomen, and the dagger in her hand was almost unstable, and it slid from her hand crumblingly, and as Pei An withdrew the long sword, she fell to the ground.

Gu Xiaonuan looked at Pei An, Pei An withdrew his long sword, clasped his fists and saluted, "The king has instructed that the minister should protect the queen's safety, but it is the minister's dereliction of duty to let this assassin enter the palace." ”

Gu Xiaonuan didn't speak, just glanced at Pei An, then at Xiao Gong'e who was lying in a pool of blood, and then turned around and walked into the dormitory.

Wei Rou listened and dragged Ping'er back to the dormitory. brought her to Gu Xiaonuan and knelt on the ground.

Ping'er was obviously frightened by what happened just now, she didn't expect Pei An to take her companion's life with a single sword.

At this time, his face was pale, cold sweat was oozing on his forehead, he knelt on the ground and trembled, and he didn't dare to look at Xiao Nuan.

Gu Xiaonuan took a sip of tea, looked at Ping'er who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly, "There is no room for disloyal and useless people in this palace. However, although you have done something sorry for this palace, but this palace thinks of you and my master and servant, so I don't want your life, and I will send you out of the palace from now on, and you will never be allowed to step into this palace again. ”

Ping'er couldn't say a word, just now when she saw her companion die in front of her, she was already frightened, and she didn't dare to struggle, for fear of the same encounter as her companion.

looked at Tingyin, and Tingyin immediately understood what the queen meant, and stepped forward to loot all the valuable things on Ping'er's body.

Immediately, Gu Xiaonuan asked Wei Rou to send Ping'er out of the palace, and when she left, Gu Xiaonuan also specially explained to Wei Rou, take a good look at her, and not let her be in any danger.

Holding the bottle of medicine, Gu Xiaonuan shook it in front of him, thoughtfully, after thinking about it, he felt that this was not a good thing, and it was harmful to keep it, so he threw it out of the window with his backhand.

But at the moment when the bottle of medicine landed, it was copied by a person. Gu Xiaonuan was startled, raised her gaze, and looked at Chen Zichen, who was standing by the window at the moment, with a smile on his face.

"Why are you here?" Gu Xiaonuan was very surprised.

Chen Zichen shook the medicine bottle in his hand, unscrewed it and looked at it, there were some powders inside, this smell was the same as the fragrance of rouge gouache, if it wasn't someone who knew, who would know that this was poison?

"That's a good thing, why did you throw it away?" Chen Zichen jumped in through the window.

Gu Xiaonuan looked at Chen Zichen who turned in, and instinctively hurriedly closed the window, but before she could pull the window over, Chen Zichen had already come in.
