Chapter 70: Lure the snake out of the hole

Because of his injury, Gu Xiaonuan excused himself by saying that he was too tired and really not suitable to see too many people, so he turned away those who came to see him.

She went to bed early, but got up again in the middle of the night, and changed into her regular clothes, light and casual clothes.

"Princess, are you alright?"

Very soft voice, very small, is Wei Rou's. In Wei Rou's voice, Gu Xiaonuan looked at Tingyin and said, "Ayin, if someone comes, no matter who it is, you have to find a way to stop it out of the door." But she thought, it's all this time, and probably no one will come.

Tingyin nodded and said, "Princess, you must be careful. ”

Gu Xiaonuan nodded, turned around and walked out.

Looking at the back of Gu Xiaonuan leaving, Tingyin felt faintly uneasy. Although she had doubted many times that she was not Gong Yuyao, but the moment she desperately sent herself out of the hall that night and she was trapped in the hall, she made up her mind that in this life, no matter who she was, she would use her life to protect her.

She gave up her chance to live, but sent herself out, such a person, she thought probably she would never meet a second one in her life. So why bother who she is? Her style of acting, everything about her is not Princess Yao, but she is the same as Princess Yao, willing to work hard for herself.

Wei Rou and Gu Xiaonuan quietly turned out of the palace, and when they arrived outside the palace, they changed to fast horses and went straight to the suburbs.

After walking through the jungle, he finally saw a thatched house in a very secluded mountain stream and stopped his horse.

Gu Xiaonuan looked at Wei Rou, "This is it?" ”

"Hmm." Wei Rou nodded, "Grandpa is personally guarding him, and he is safe." ”

Listening to Wei Rou's words, Gu Xiaonuan got off the horse and walked towards the thatched house with Wei Rou.

The candle flame in the thatched house was still on, Wei Rou pushed the door open, and Gu Xiaonuan saw two people sitting in the room at this time.

An old man with gray hair but a tough look, and a middle-aged man dressed in a cloth shirt, slightly fat.

Gu Xiaonuan gave him a junior salute after seeing the old man, the old man hurriedly raised his hand, and returned the half-salute and said, "The princess doesn't have to be polite, I have heard that Princess Qidu has the demeanor of the king of Qidu, and the rumors are true when I see the old man today." ”

Gu Xiaonuan straightened up and said with a slight smile, "Senior Wei has won the award." ”

The man in the room was frightened when he saw Gu Xiaonuan, and he immediately curled up to the side and didn't dare to move, his eyes were wide and full of fear.

Seeing this, Wei Rou stepped forward and said, "You don't have to be so alarmed, it was the princess who asked me to save you at that time, and I saved your life on your way to the mass grave." ”

The man was skeptical when he heard this, but he still kowtowed to Gu Xiaonuan and said, "See the queen." ”

Gu Xiaonuan looked at him and said, "What's your name?" ”

"Stand ...... Li'an. The man replied tremblingly.

Gu Xiaonuan glanced at him and said slowly, "Li'an, you remember, from now on you have nothing to do with this palace, since you have left this palace, then don't think about the things inside, and be an ordinary person from now on." ”

Li'an didn't know why, raised his eyes slightly, looked at Gu Xiaonuan, Gu Xiaonuan sighed and said, "Although I know that the king will poison you, but I can't stop it, I can only save one." The king is suspicious by nature, and when you went to the king to report to him that day, I guessed about it. ”

Li'an raised his head slightly when he heard this, he was a little convinced that it was really the queen who saved him. After all, when he went to look for the king that day, only the queen was beside the king.

Immediately kowtowed to Gu Xiaonuan twice, and Li'an said gratefully, "Thank you for the queen's life-saving grace, thank you to the queen." ”

Gu Xiaonuan looked at him, then at Wei Rouhe and Wei Senior, and then said, "It's not easy to pick up a life, then you can live a good life from now on, so you won't waste this palace's intentions." ”

Li'an nodded gratefully and thanked Gu Xiaonuan one by one.

Gu Xiaonuan looked at him and didn't say anything, she finished what she had to say, and turned around and walked out. Watching Gu Xiaonuan leave, Wei Rou and Wei seniors also turned around and walked out.

Looking at the departing queen, Li'an got up from the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. He was really nervous just now, he thought that his whereabouts were known by the king, and the queen had come to arrest him. He never thought that the queen would save himself.

It is said that the queen's temperament changed greatly after a serious illness, and he also knew it before. It's just that he never thought that she would save herself, such an ordinary person.

After going out, Gu Xiaonuan didn't look back, just got on the horse and drove away. Wei Rou and Wei seniors also followed.

It's just that halfway through the walk, the old man Wei turned his horse's head and went back, leaving Wei Rou alone to ride a horse and follow behind Gu Xiaonuan.

By the side of a small river, Wei Rou and Gu Xiaonuan both grabbed the reins and stopped their horses.

Wei Rou and Gu Xiaonuan stood side by side, looked at Gu Xiaonuan and said, "Princess, are you really sure?" ”

Gu Xiaonuan's face was expressionless, and under this bleak moonlight, he looked a little tired, and it took a long time before he said, "To lead the snake out of the hole, you have to lead it to know if there is a snake." If it was really Li'an who told me, then when I came to see Li'an at this time, it would definitely cause panic among that person, and that person would definitely be eager to get rid of Li'an. ”

Wei Rou smiled and said, "So, Li'an still has a glimmer of hope at this time, thinking that his owner will take him in." Even if you save his life, he will not necessarily be grateful to the princess, and he will be willing to tell the princess everything. Because he felt that he still had a way out. But once his hopeful owner attacked him, in order to save his life, he would not hide anything, and would tell everything to the princess. ”

Gu Xiaonuan was still expressionless, and nodded slightly. Because she is not sure now, she has never dared to guarantee that everything will be foolproof until the dust settles.

"But, princess, that person may not know that Li'an is in this place. After all, on the surface, Li'an is dead, and he may not know the fact that the princess replaced Li'an. Wei Rou was a little worried.

Gu Xiaonuan shook his head and said lightly, "As long as there is such a person, then he must know that Li'an is in this place and that Li'an is still alive." Because Gu Xiaonuan felt that that person's mind was too meticulous, and the things that Li'an passed on to him were too secret and too important, if he was in a high position, once these things were exposed, it would definitely damage his future. He will always supervise Li'an's every move, and he must know that Li'an is still alive.

Now that he saw him, he must have feared that what he had done would be exposed. Once what he did was exposed, he couldn't afford to murder the queen and Princess Qidu. And Li'an is a key witness, in order not to harm his big things, he must not tolerate Li'an.

Looking at Gu Xiaonuan's calm and calm appearance, Wei Rou smiled slightly, and said with a look of appreciation and admiration, "I heard when I left the country that Princess Qidu was a woman who did not let her eyebrows. Since childhood, Bing Xue is smart, resourceful, brave and courageous, if he is a man, he will be able to go into battle to kill the enemy, and he will have a unique style and achievements. It's just a pity that it's a daughter. So everyone is sighing at a pity, but now that I see it, I feel that even if the princess can't go into battle to kill the enemy, her talent and wisdom will not be buried. ”
