The Netherworld's first mission to assassinate Gu Xueting was almost wiped out and ended in failure, and soon after, Gu Xueting led his men to almost raid the Netherworld's lair, causing them heavy losses and great damage to their vitality.

According to the rules of the Netherworld Pavilion, a failed mission will not be taken a second time, especially a hard stubble like Gu Xueting.

So this time when the client came to place an order, Mei You didn't want to refuse, after all, no matter how much money there is, it doesn't matter if her life is important, if she fails again this time, and asks Gu Xueting to find her, she is afraid that she will really sleep underground with plum blossoms.

Who knew that the young pavilion master arrived at this time, and he passed her and took over the task directly.

At this moment, the weapon in front of him to assassinate Gu Xueting was also provided by the Young Pavilion Master.

I don't know what kind of grudge the young pavilion master has with Gu Xueting......

Now, Gu Xueting is in front of her, so the message in the letter she received last night is obviously fake.

Mei You took a slow breath and stabilized her chaotic heartbeat: "I don't know why His Royal Highness King Chen is here?" ”

Shen Yizhi chuckled: "Didn't Mrs. Mei ask knowingly?" I heard Ah Yan say that Mei Youshi is the most icy and intelligent of the Eight Envoys of the Netherworld, but now that I see it, it is not necessarily the case. ”

Zhong Wuyan would never tell her about the inside of the Nether Pavilion, which she had seen from the information presented by Gu Xueting's subordinates.

Mei was silent, it seemed that they already knew that the Netherworld Pavilion had done it.

I couldn't help but think of what the young pavilion master said at the time: "If Gu Xueting dies this time, it's just right, if he doesn't die and comes to the door, you don't have to carry it to death, just bring him to see me." ”

So she stood up directly, "His Royal Highness King Chen, come with me, our young pavilion master has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Gu Xueting and Shen Yizhi glanced at each other, and they both felt a trace of surprise.

After passing through a moon gate, Mei You finally stopped, bowed to the two of them, and made a "please" gesture: "The young pavilion master is inside." ”

Looking at the exquisite courtyard in front of him, Shen Yizhi suspected that this was a trap deliberately set by the Netherworld Pavilion......

Gu Xueting squeezed her hand: "I'll come when I go, you wait for me outside for a while." ”

Shen Yizhi held his hand and didn't let go, "Let's go in together." ”

Gu Xueting finally agreed.

He led her up the steps and pushed the room first.

There was no sword light, no sword shadow, and the room was normal.

A man dressed in red turned around from the window, snow-skinned, red-lipped, peach-eyed, bewitching, almost blurred gender, if it weren't for the Adam's apple on his neck that clearly showed his male identity, Shen Yizhi would have thought he was a woman.

What made her even more shocking was that the demon man in red actually opened his mouth and shouted to Gu Xueting: "Uncle Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Gu Xueting didn't recognize him at first, his eyes were fixed on his face, and after a while, he was a little uncertain: "Xiao Qi? ”

Gu Xi smiled and looked at Shen Yizhi: "Presumably this is the little aunt." ”

Shen Yizhi was full of doubts, did the Young Pavilion Master of the Netherworld Pavilion know Gu Xueting? No, not only do they know each other, but the two seem to be uncles and nephews?

So, why did this eldest nephew let his subordinates assassinate Gu Xueting? Could it be that the two have some grudges?

The floor heating was burned in the house, and there was a soft and thick carpet on the ground, the carpet was as white as the snow outside, and the maid sent clogs, Shen Yizhi and Gu Xueting put them on, and then walked in.

Gu Xi took the two of them to the fire and sat directly on the ground.

There was a pot of soup hanging from the stove, bubbling and fragrant.

Gu Xi filled a bowl of soup for each of them and handed it to them.

Shen Yizhi took it, and reacted in hindsight, is there something wrong? Before she came, she fantasized about the scene where the two of them and the people of the Netherworld Pavilion fought without saying a word, but now how did it become that relatives met and sat together to drink soup?

She stared at the steaming soup in front of her, full of doubts.

Gu Xi saw that she didn't drink it, and joked: "There is no poison in the soup, although the little aunt can rest assured." ”

Shen Yizhi raised his eyebrows and simply put down the bowl, "You are the Seventh Prince?" ”

Gu Xi drank the soup with taste: "No, Seventh Princess." ”

Shen Yizhi couldn't help but be glad that he didn't drink the soup at this moment, otherwise he would have to spray it.

Gu Xueting put his big palm on her back, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Qi originally had a dragon and phoenix sister, named Yueyue, on their sixth birthday, I took them to play in the garden for a day, and when I went back, I proposed to let the two of them change the clothes they were wearing with each other, wanting to test Concubine Zhen and whether they could recognize them."

"As a result, the next day, I heard the news that the Seventh Prince had fallen into the water. In fact, it was Yueyue who was wearing Xiaoqi's clothes who fell into the water. Concubine Zhen was afraid that something would happen to Xiao Qi, so she simply made a mistake and let him replace Yueyue's identity from then on. ”

Shen Yizhi held Gu Xueting's hand and silently gave him strength, although his voice was flat when he recounted the past, the past many years ago seemed to have passed, but she could still feel the emotions surging under his calm appearance, but Yueyue's death was not his fault, and the person who did it behind the back should be blamed!

But the Seventh Prince probably didn't think so, in his heart, I am afraid that Gu Xueting was the culprit who caused his sister's death, if it wasn't for his sister's death, he wouldn't have had to dress up as a woman for so many years.

So he wanted to kill Gu Xueting to avenge his sister.

Shen Yizhi can't say that he is wrong like this, after all, he was only six years old when his sister died, and he only knew that it was because of Gu Xueting's proposal that his sister was killed in his place, and it is estimated that avenging his sister has long become an obsession after so many years.

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

The charcoal burned quietly in the stove, it was the finest silver charcoal, and there was no smell of smoke when it burned, and the soup pot hanging above it was still popping.

Shen Yizhi added some soup to the pot and stirred it in circles, and after a while, the pot of soup became more fragrant.

She took out a piece of processed vegetables from the space, put them on the low table next to her, put some meat and vegetables into the pot, took out a bottle of wine, and asked Gu Xi opposite: "Can you drink?" ”

Gu Xi snatched the wine directly from her hand, poured a glass himself, threw it all up, and then poured another glass.

Shen Yizhi took an empty bowl, put some cooked vegetables into it, and handed it over: "You can't just drink wine and not eat vegetables, otherwise you will suffer from stomach pain at that time." ”

Gu Xi didn't refuse, took it and tasted it, "Auntie's craftsmanship is really good, it's much better than what I made." ”

In this way, the three of them ate and drank at the same time, and the atmosphere gradually became less cold.

Shen Yizhi asked: "Have you found out who killed Yueyue back then?" ”

Gu Xi propped up on the ground with one hand, shook the wine glass lightly with the other, and sneered when he heard the words: "What did the little aunt say?" The people who do it have long become the flower fertilizer in the imperial garden. However, that person was just instructed by someone, and the real murderer is still sitting on the phoenix throne. ”

The person behind the scenes is the queen?

No wonder Gu Xi couldn't move her.

It is not difficult to move the queen, but the difficult thing is how to explain to the emperor.

Unless...... The emperor also fell.
