The moon is dark and the wind is high, and everything is silent.

Yu'an Palace.

Princess Qingtian was already asleep in the bedroom.

Holding lanterns in their hands, the two teams of eight Ouchi guards patrolling and guarding walked back and forth between the inside and outside of the palace with gentle steps, guarding cautiously.

No matter how careful they are, no matter how careful they are, all they can see is the door of the room in the palace.

They were able to deal with the anomalies of the roof tiles, but their eyesight was limited, so they were unaware of the black-clad masked man lurking on the roof.

If they could jump on the roof and check it out, they might be able to spot the masked man in black.

It's a pity that they didn't do this, which is called "one hundred secrets".

After they finished patrolling inside the palace, they turned around and went to patrol the vicinity outside the palace.

Taking advantage of this gap, the black-clad masked man lurking on the roof set off.

This black-clothed masked man is Concubine Li's subordinate, a phantom.

He, on the order of Concubine Li, came to take the life of Princess Qingtian.

I saw him fly lightly and jump off the ground, and quietly dodge outside the door of Princess Qingtian's room.

Looking left and right, there was no one around, and he took out a fire fold from his bosom, a short red incense.

Blow the fire fold, light the red short incense, cut through the window paste paper, and reach into the short incense.

The red smoke from the short incense began to disperse in the room, and the sweet princess inhaled it, her nose shrunk twice, her head tilted, and she stopped moving, and even her breathing seemed to stop.

After a while......

The Phantom put away the fire fold, took back the red short incense, extinguished it, and put it back in his arms.

Then, he slowly pushed the door into the house, closed the door with a thief, took off the dagger blade at his waist, and walked to the bedside of Princess Qingtian step by step.

At the head of the bed, he was already close to Princess Qingtian, and he raised his hand holding the blade and aimed it at her heart, but he only lifted it, but did not stab it down.

His hands were shaking and his forehead was sweating.

He secretly said in his heart: "Niangniang, I can't do it? I can't do it, what should I do? What to do? ”

At the moment when he spoke to himself, in the darkness, a white shadow flashed, and suddenly appeared in front of him, a man in white.

He was taken aback and immediately flustered.

There are other people in the room besides Princess Qingtian!

This was his first reaction, although he was flustered, but he was not at a loss, he was a phantom after all.

In a panic, he hurriedly retreated.

The man in white approached step by step, following him like a shadow.

Before he could think about it, the sharp blade in his hand slid horizontally and wiped it off the neck of the man in white, wanting to kill the man in white.

He shot fast, but the man in white was faster than him.

He missed, and the man in white flashed behind him like a ghost.

The man in white not only knows martial arts, but also has better martial arts than him!

He wanted to turn around and deal with it, but it was too late.

Because, when the man in white flashed behind him, he had already shot out and pointed at his acupoint.

The man in white walked to the table and lit the candle on the table, and the candlelight illuminated the gloomy handsome face of the Gu boy.

Gu Gongzi moved in front of the phantom and looked at him.

"It's you!"

"It's you!"

Both exclaimed at the same time.

The phantom recognized Gu Gongzi, and Gu Gongzi also recognized the phantom.

They used to compete in Tianji Town, not only did he know him, I believe that Princess Qingtian, Su Zecai and his sister Zheng Lingshao also knew him, although he was masked, but looking at his eyes, it was not difficult to recognize him, and he recognized him at a glance.

The phantom hung his head and was planted in the hands of Gu Gongzi, and he was convinced.

Gu Gongzi turned to face Princess Qingtian and called softly, "Princess, you can get up!" ”

Princess Qingtian didn't get hit?

Are they already equipped?

The phantom raised his head and looked at the sweet princess on the bed in amazement.

I saw Princess Qingtian open her eyes, get up and sit, and then get out of bed and stand.

Hit the trick!

The phantom secretly complained, and regretted it.

"Princess, is it okay? Why is there a light in your room, and there are two more shadows? ”

Princess Qingtian knew that this was the guard patrolling outside the door who was questioning.

So, she replied: "It's nothing, this princess can't sleep, call the two girls to chat and play." ”

"Oh."

There was a sound of footsteps, farther and farther away, and it was clear that the Ouchi guards had left.

Princess Qingtian looked at the phantom and asked Gu Gongzi, "Do you know him?" ”

Gu Gongzi smiled mysteriously: "Not only do I know it, but the princess also knows it." ”

"I know that too?" Princess Qingtian was at a loss.

Gu Gongzi nodded: "Yes, princess, you might as well step forward and take a closer look at him, rest assured, he has been restrained by me, and there will be no danger." ”

"Squeak—"

Princess Qingtian didn't move, Su Zecai pushed the door and entered the house.

He was startled at the sight of the phantom, and quickly closed the door.

"I saw that the lights were on in your room, and suddenly there were two strange figures, and sure enough, there was a situation." Su Zecai looked the phantom up and down.

Princess Qingtian smiled: "The person just caught it, and before I had time to call you next door, you came by yourself." ”

Gu Gongzi said: "My sister-in-law's worries are right, some people dare to kill the queen's mother, and I am afraid that some people will be unfavorable to the princess." ”

Princess Qingtian said gratefully: "I have to worry about me, otherwise, I am afraid that I will die in Huangquan, and I must thank you well when I turn back." ”

Gu Gongzi smiled and said to Su Zecai: "Brother Su, this black-clothed masked man, you and the princess, and my sister-in-law, we all know each other, you and the princess will see if you can still remember." ”

Su Zecai and Princess Qingtian stared at the phantom for a long time, Su Zecai shook her head, but Princess Qingtian said: "I remember, we saw him in Tianji Town, he is the black-clothed masked man who wants to kill Big Brother Gu and imprison us." ”

Su Zecai had an epiphany: "It turned out to be him, I said that looking at his eyes had a familiar feeling." ”

"Yes, it's him!" Gu Gongzi said, and suddenly arched his hands to Princess Qingtian, "Please open the princess and let him go!" ”

As soon as Gu Gongzi's words came out, not only Princess Qingtian and Su Zecai were taken aback, but the phantom was even more suspicious.

Why did Gu Gongzi do this?

All three looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Gu Gongzi gave an explanation: "I saw it just now, he didn't really want to kill the princess just now, he took the dagger in his hand, hesitated for a long time, but didn't stab it." ”

That's why!

Princess Qingtian stared at the phantom: "You are about to kill me, why hesitate?" ”

"Alas!" Phantom sighed, "Actually, it's nothing, I just think that you are such an interesting girl, if you die, it will be a pity, so I can't do it." ”

Princess Qingtian suddenly sank her face: "Who sent you to kill me?" Isn't it Concubine Li? ”

The phantom didn't answer, pretending to be deaf and dumb at Princess Qingtian's question.

"Humph!" Gu Gongzi snorted coldly, "Do you think that if you don't speak, I won't be able to do anything about you?" ”

Su Zecai couldn't help but ask: "Is there any way for Brother Gu to know if he is Concubine Li's person?" ”

Gu Gongzi smiled slightly: "It's very simple, he has fallen into my hands, I just need to wear a crown and Li Dai, dress up as him, and get close to Concubine Li, just try it!" ”

"Good way!" Princess Qingtian couldn't help but clap her hands and praise.

This is indeed a good way, and the phantom has to admire Gu Gongzi.

Now, it makes no difference whether you admit it or not.

The phantom finally spoke: "No need to try, I am indeed the person of Concubine Li." ”

When he said this, Princess Qingtian, Su Zecai, and Gu Gongzi, they didn't react much.

Because, this is just a matter of going from doubt to confirmation, and they have long been mentally prepared.

"Is it really Concubine Li?" Su Zecai's image is to reconfirm.

Phantom nodded: "Yes!" ”

Su Zecai's heart was cold, and he cried in his heart: "Mother, I really didn't expect that you, who have always been perfect in my heart, would be an ambitious person, did you kill the queen mother just to sit in her position?" ”

"At the beginning, the crown prince's series of things were also done by you on the orders of Concubine Li?" Gu Gongzi's words are superfluous.

"Yes." The phantom still answered.

Su Zecai looked at Princess Qingtian: "What are you going to do now?" ”

Princess Qingtian gritted her teeth and said: "I will take orders from my father early tomorrow morning, take over the country as soon as possible, become the lord of the empire, and then lead troops to surround Kunning Palace, sword the rebellion of Concubine Li, and avenge my mother!" ”

Concubine Li has already attacked her, and she can't help but fight back!

The phantom is silently praying: May the Bodhisattva bless Kunning Palace, bless Niangniang, and bless Su Zecai to save Niangniang.

Su Zecai was silently thinking:

Mother, should I save you? What can I do to save you?
