Chapter 69: Step by step

The night is as cool as water, and it is the fastest to renew

The summer night also made her shiver, and she pursed her lips as she watched him drift away.

What a true devil!

It's just that this seemingly fierce and domineering devil not only has a good skin, a graceful and dignified posture, but also a chivalrous heart, which often makes people ignore his ruthlessness towards the enemy.

He's definitely a polar wolf who eats her and doesn't spit out bones!

Gu Qingcheng's legs suddenly became weak, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.

What a love-hate devil, what should she do with him?

After a while, she jumped to the ground like a bird.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw Gu Qing standing in front of the window, covering his mouth, probably afraid that he would cry out excitedly and alarm others.

He opened the door and walked out, he had heard the fight on the roof early in the morning, and knew that an assassin had come to assassinate Gu Qingcheng at night.

Allure's mother was not only killed by Liu Rushuang and her father, but also left in the countryside by her ruthless and unrighteous father over the years, and now she is constantly assassinated by Liu Rushuang.

She is even more pitiful than herself!

Later, the devil's men fought with the assassins, and they also saw Gu Tingcheng finally fly away arm in arm with the devil.

He had been waiting in the courtyard until the middle of the night.

It wasn't until he heard the sound of Gu Qingcheng and the devil coming back that he went back to his room.

The night made Gu Qingcheng look taller and thinner, and he felt that she was even more pitiful.

Gu Qing wanted to hug her.

This thought grew like grass in my heart, but it was suppressed again.

It's like the waves rolling, hitting the seawall all at once, hitting Gu Qing's heart painfully.

This pain made him breathe slightly.

"Allure, there are assassins in the night, how are you? Didn't get hurt, did you? Gu Qing still asked worriedly.

"Big brother, I'm fine, I have the devil to protect me. Go back to sleep. Gu Qingcheng said in a low voice.

I don't know how to explain it, and the third watch is also sleepy in the middle of the night, so I have to go back to the room to sleep first.

Gu Qing watched Gu Tingcheng's lonely and cold back go back to the room, and only said that the devil in Gu Qingcheng's mouth was Tuoba Yu, the king of Nan'an.

The devil came to save Allure in the middle of the night, even if Allure had a tryst with the devil at night, it was rude.

But after all, they have a marriage contract, which is more logical than his so-called eldest brother.

So I was even more disappointed.

There are some different ripples floating in the eyes.

At dawn, the guards who changed shifts and inspected the Dongping Royal Mansion found that there was something different in the palace.

Upon inspection, almost all the guards fell to the ground, and the slave girls in the dungeon were all rescued.

When the king of Dongping received the report, he was so angry that he burst into smoke and jumped like thunder.

"Who is it? Who?! How dare you enter my Dongping Palace? He growled.

"Your Highness, please punish your subordinates, it is the carelessness of your subordinates that they let thieves enter and leave the palace as if they were entering their own house." Batu knelt down and said.

"What's the use of punishing you, can you get the robbers back?" Tuoba Han lashed Batuu.

Batu gritted his teeth and said nothing, so that Tuoba Han was comfortable, and then hugged his fists:

"The humble duty must learn from the pain, the liver and brain are smeared, and the work is conscientious to serve His Highness!"

After Tuoba Han scolded Batu, he pointed at the guards and scolded angrily:

"Look at your cowardices, one by one, all of them are some rubbish?"

He was so angry that he whipped the guards again.

The guards trembled one by one, and some said that they felt like they had been hit by a needle, and then they didn't wake up.

Some said that they were stunned by stones, and the martial arts of the people who came were not trivial.

However, upon inspection, there were no needles on the guards, and some of the guards had tiny needle holes.

Just when he was so angry that he slapped the guard, another guard handed Tuoba to stay and warned him not to do evil, otherwise he would burn the note of the ** hall.

He took it and looked at it, his face turned green with anger, and he tore the note to shreds:

"Who is it, which bold fanatic is it, who doesn't even take this king in his eyes!"

His bodyguard, Batu, advised him to report to His Majesty and let the Ministry of Punishment investigate thoroughly.

"No." His military advisor Ouyang Shuo shook his head to stop.

"Wrong?" Tuoba Han jumped up again, "Do you want to let that madman get away with it, and let him on the king's head casually?" ”

King Dongping was already so angry that he couldn't care about his demeanor and burst into foul language.

Ouyang Shuo analyzed:

"His Royal Highness was scolded by His Majesty not long ago for the matter of the beauty hunting field, and now if you check it, Your Majesty will know that Your Highness has this extravagant ** palace.

also knew that there were so many female slaves imprisoned in this dungeon, Your Majesty must be furious, which will do your Highness more harm than good. ”

"Then the king is going to suffer this dumb loss?" Tuoba Han swung his whip and swept wildly.

The courtyard is scattered with flowers and leaves.

"This dumb loss, it seems that His Highness can only eat it." Ouyang Shuo said helplessly.

"Your Highness, someone shot a wild wolf with a flying needle in the beauty hunting field, and his subordinates checked those flying needles, which seem to be needles used in acupuncture." Batu took out the flying needle that he had taken from the wolf's body that day.

Ouyang Shuo picked up those flying needles and groaned:

"Some of them should know acupuncture, and these acupuncture are her personal things."

"Someone who knows how to do acupuncture?" Tuoba Han whipped on the flowers and trees, and the flowers and leaves flew all over the place, "If this person is found, this king will crush them to ashes!" ”

Although Tuoba Han was so angry that he smoked, he still instructed that tonight's incident should not be leaked.

It also strengthened the defense of the palace, especially the ** palace.

"Dare to burn the king's ** palace? Come on! This king will let him be buried in the ** hall! Tuoba Han gritted his teeth.

He ordered the military advisor to find someone to re-set the mechanism of the ** hall, and set traps for these fanatics.

Gu Qingcheng returned to the room, fell asleep, and slept very sweetly.

Soon, the sky was hazy and bright, and most of the people in the Gu Mansion were still in their dreams, so Yun Jin came in to serve.

Gu Tingcheng woke up when he heard the movement, and the scene of General Dian and her going to Dongping Wangfu to save people appeared in his mind.

Come to think of it, the devil wasn't really bad.

She is sweet in her heart, if they are really fateful, then no matter how she escapes, she can't escape.

She lifted the quilt and lifted her legs to get out of bed, wanting to go to Xiaojie and come back to sleep.

I habitually want to wear shoes, and I saw a pair of brand-new embroidered shoes next to the bed in the faint light.

She has a natural sense of smell, and the air is filled with a faint smell of strychnine.

Nux nux contains great poison!

She suddenly remembered the devil's words: Be careful every step you take!

"Yunjin, when are you going to change my shoes?" Gu Tingcheng's heart sank.

She wasn't wearing these shoes last night.

"Oh, Second Miss, I just changed it for you." Yun Jin put down the basin of washing water in his hand, walked to the window and tied the curtain, and outside the window, the fish was white and hazy.

"Why did you give me new shoes for no reason?" Gu Qingcheng retracted his feet, and his sleepiness disappeared.

There were no new shoes in the middle of the night.

"That's the second miss, the slave saw that your shoes were dirty, probably because you had a fight on the street yesterday. So I got you new shoes so you won't be ashamed to go to the palace. ”

Yun Jin bundled the curtains, and went to the wardrobe to choose a dress for Gu Qingcheng.

"You're so careful?" Gu Tingcheng looked at the new shoes, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"Second Miss, in fact, it's not that I'm careful, I should say that Zhiruo is careful. She brought me the shoes and asked me to change them for you. Yun Jin said honestly.

“…… Zhiruo? Gu Tingcheng said casually.

Yun Jin smiled and said:

"That's right, these embroidered shoes with folded begonias were embroidered by Zhiruo for Miss, but it took her two whole nights."

"Oh, Zhiruo embroidered it for me herself?" Gu Qingcheng groaned.

Yun Jin nodded:

"She didn't want to take credit, and asked me to say that I embroidered it for Miss.

It's a rare good sister, but she worked hard for two nights, and how could I rob her of the credit. ”

Gu Qingcheng bent down to pick up the embroidered shoes, and sure enough, he felt that the insoles were different.

She gently lifted the insole, and suddenly found the dense black needles hidden under the insole.

The same goes for the other.

Not only do needles are hidden in the shoes, but they are also quenched with poison.

She sniffed it, and sure enough, there was a lot of money mixed with it!

This poisonous weed mostly grows in the south, while the north is cold and does not grow easily.

"Jiangnan?" Gu Qingcheng said secretly.

But although this poisonous weed grows in the south, it also has this poison in the north.

Gu Qingcheng was shocked in his heart, and his face was silent: "Yunjin, what about Zhiruo?" ”

"She just went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Miss."

"Yunjin, the style of these shoes, I seem to have seen it in the house." Gu Qingcheng thought of Gu Chuyao, and they all had these styles of embroidered shoes.

"Of course, this is the latest style nowadays, and the ladies in the house have such embroidered shoes.

So Zhi Ruocai embroidered a pair for Miss, and I can't see that Zhi Ruo's little girl is more intimate than me. Yun Jin said next to the closet.

chose two sets of dresses, lifted them on his chest, and gestured, letting Gu Qingcheng choose:

"Miss, look at it, which dress are you going to wear to the palace today?"

"Yunjin, you put down the dress first, and then choose later." Gu Qingcheng beckoned to her.

"Okay, Second Miss." Yun Jin hung the dress back in the closet and came to the bedside.

"My shoe size seems to be about the same as my eldest sister, I don't know if I look good in it, or if my eldest sister looks good in it?" Gu Qingcheng smiled and glanced at the new shoes.

"Miss is right, your shoe size is indeed about the same as that of the eldest lady.

But when the second lady wears it, she must look better than the eldest lady. Yun Jin's last words lowered his volume and smirked.

"Yunjin, you let Zhiruo come back first, I want to thank her well." Gu Tingcheng sat back on the bed.

"Okay, Second Miss." Yun Jin had no city in his heart and left in response.

After a while, Yun Jin and Zhiruo came in together.

"Zhiruo, your embroidered shoes are so beautiful, these folded begonias are still my favorite." Gu Tingcheng Road.

Zhiruo looked a little uncomfortable, but she didn't expect Yunjin to tell Gu Qingcheng that it was the embroidered shoes she had embroidered.

She looked at the embroidered shoes in some amazement for a moment.

Gu Tingcheng stroked the folded begonias on the embroidered uppers, praised them seriously, and then looked at Zhiruo with a smile.

"I heard that it took you two nights, and I was reluctant to wear it." Gu Qingcheng said with a smile again.

Zhiruo didn't expect Gu Tingcheng to be wearing shoes yet.

“…… Second Miss, I was clumsy and didn't embroider well, which made Second Miss laugh. Zhiruo was a little at a loss.

"Zhiruo, it's hard to embroider for you for two nights." Gu Qingcheng beckoned to Zhiruo and said, "Come here." ”

Zhi Ruo didn't know why, she gently moved half a step forward, her eyes flickered, she didn't dare to look directly at Gu Qingcheng, and looked at the shoes in front of her.

Gu Qingcheng looked at her, handed her the shoes, his eyes were soft and charming, and said softly:

"I appreciate your kindness, Miss. This new shoe, you help me try it on first, the new shoes are sloppy, you wear looser, and I will wear it again. ”

"Since it is a new shoe for Miss, how dare Zhiruo try them on?" Zhiruo hurriedly glanced at Gu Qingcheng's smiling face, but her eyes were lowered and she hesitated.

"Zhiruo!" Gu Qingcheng's cry was slow, but full of majesty.

Zhiruo chuckled, raised her eyes and looked at Gu Chengcheng again, but saw that her eyes were sharp, like a sharp blade.

Zhiruo's legs trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but retreat.

"Don't you dare to wear these shoes?" Gu Qingcheng squinted at Zhiru, raised his eyebrows, and asked leisurely.

Zhiruo didn't dare to answer randomly, her little life was in the hands of her wife.

"No, no, Second Miss." Zhiruo wanted to answer very firmly, but her voice trembled involuntarily.

"Zhiruo, you are not honest!" Gu Tingcheng's slender and delicate little hand gently brushed the ends of her thick covered hair.

Gu Qingcheng leaned over, pulled Zhiruo over, pressed her on the bed, and was about to put on her shoes.

Zhiruo was so frightened that she retracted her feet and refused to put it in.

Gu Tingcheng slapped the edge of the bed fiercely, his face changed sharply, and his gaze was like a torch, as if penetrating Zhiruo:

"Say! Why don't you dare to wear it? ”

Zhiruo was already trembling with fear.

Yun Jin watched from the sidelines, as if he understood something.

"Say!" Gu Tingcheng said in a low voice: "If you don't say it, I will even send you into the palace with shoes, and let Your Majesty send it down."

When the time comes, there will be thousands of tortures in the prison, so that your life is worse than death! ”

Zhiruo's body is like a sifting chaff.

Gu Qingcheng stood up again, hugged his chest, and his voice was as cold as if he came from hell:

"Zhiruo, have you ever seen a human skinned alive?

It's like slaughtering a frog, peeling off human skin alive, perfect as a butterfly with its wings spread and ready to fly, it's really worse than death.

Not to mention that he was tortured in this way, even if he witnessed it with his own eyes, it would be a nightmare that he would never forget.

Your young lady, I, have witnessed it from beginning to end! ”

Gu Tingcheng painted it vividly, and Zhiruo and Yunjin seemed to be able to see that terrifying picture.

Zhi Ruozao was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and made a final struggle:

"Second Miss, I didn't put this poisonous needle, the shoes were brought in by Yunjin, do you know that she didn't put them?"

"Zhiruo, you don't admit yourself! When did I say that there are poisonous needles in shoes? It turns out that you put this poisonous needle fruit? Gu Qingcheng's eyes were cold.

“…… I have always been above board, how could I do something harmful to Miss. Zhiruo defended herself.

Gu Qingcheng still looked at Zhiruo with cold eyes.

This kind of mental war lasted for a little half a cup of tea.

Zhi Ruo was full of doubts at this time, her body was tense, and the line of defense in her heart was the easiest to step on, so Gu Qingcheng sighed:

"It seems that you really want to try what it is like to be skinned alive."

When Zhiruo heard this, she couldn't hold on any longer, and she completely collapsed to the ground.

She thought deeply, Gu Tingcheng came back for a short time, not only did he not retire to get married, but also organized a birthday banquet for the ancestor, which was appreciated by the ancestor and His Majesty.

When the third and fourth young ladies assassinated her, they reaped the consequences, and the poisonous soup and porridge of the lady did not poison her.

The second lady's methods are really not to be underestimated, don't look at the lady's scheming, but she can't fight the second miss at all.

She can't see the situation clearly!

Yun Jin understood at this time, gritted his teeth with hatred, and wanted to hit Zhiruo with a big mouth when he came over.

"Okay, you Zhiruo, because you are a good sister to me, you not only want to harm Miss, but also want to blame me?"

Yun Jin's raised hand was held by Gu Qingcheng.

"Don't hit her yet." Gu Tingcheng glanced at Yun Jin.

Gu Qingcheng looked at Zhiruo again, his eyes were so cruel that he wanted to devour his life alive:

"Zhiruo, do you want to taste the taste of being skinned alive, or do you want to atone for your sins?"

"Second Miss, please raise your noble hand, don't send Zhiruo into the palace, Zhiruo is willing to atone for her sins." Zhiruo's voice trembled, and she finally completely compromised.

"Say!"

“…… It's Madame! It was the lady who asked the slave to do it. Miss, I am just a slave maid, if I don't listen to my wife, my wife will beat the slave to death. Zhiruo struggled inwardly.

I cried pitifully and trembled all over.

"I came back the first night, opened the small door, and let Le Yao Xinyao come in and stab me, are you?" Gu Qingcheng's voice was like a cold arrow.

"Yes...... Yes. Zhiruo's head drooped.

"The morning before yesterday, you were the one who put croton in the porridge, right?"

"Yes...... It was also made by the lady to the slave maid. Zhiruo's head hung almost to the ground.

Unexpectedly, the young lady was like a mirror in her heart, and she was even more afraid of Gu Qingcheng.

"Do they know about embroidered shoes, except for Mrs. and Miss?"

"Yes, several young ladies know." Zhiruo's face turned pale.

A scorching flame rushed into Gu Qingcheng's mind.

Liu Rushuang and her daughter are so mad that they are pressing step by step, must they put themselves to death?

Serial killers, poisonous porridge and poisonous soup, and poisonous shoes again!

The anger in Gu Qingcheng's heart was like a rolling wave, surging for bursts.

"Okay, get up." Gu Qingcheng calmed down and pulled Zhiruo up.

"Second Miss, if Zhiruo has harmed you repeatedly, you should hurry up and send her into the palace, let Your Majesty let her fall, and skin her dog alive!" Yun Jin was annoyed that Zhiruo blamed herself, and hated on the side.

Zhiruo was so frightened that she fell to the ground again, kowtowing like a green onion:

"Second Miss, you forgive the slave maid, as long as you don't send the slave maid to skin it, the slave maid is willing to do anything."
