Chapter Sixty-Eight: It's Close

A brilliant green light rushed straight into the sky, disappearing in an instant just as it was about to reach the clouds, leaving a misty smoke in the air that slowly dissipated.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a fire stick for help on Dongli Street." Soon after this light appeared, someone immediately reported it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Dongli Street, whose place is it?" Gu Zhixian frowned.

"Yes...... It is the residence of His Royal Highness King Ahn! The man hesitated, but said truthfully.

"Gu Zhiqi, it's really you!" Gu Zhixian said angrily.

"Report, His Royal Highness the Prince, Master Miao has news." At this time, another spy came to report.

"Huh?" Gu Zhixian raised his eyebrows.

"My subordinates found the gold medal held by Master Miao in Luoyang County." The man said.

"Luoyang County?" Aren't people in King An's Mansion?

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, that gold medal was found in Li Mingtao's house by Jiang Barium of the Luoyang County Mansion, but for some reason, it is the token of His Highness." The man continued.

"What?!" Gu Zhixian was even more furious.

Miao Gao went to Luoyang County this time to discuss important matters with Li Mingtao, and he absolutely couldn't do it himself, but Li Mingtao was able to use the trade to transport this batch of goods with great fanfare. Could it be that this matter has been poked out?

"Your Highness, there is one more thing ......" The person who came to report glanced at the prince cautiously, as if there was something unspeakable.

"Say!" Gu Zhixian couldn't care about Sven and said impatiently.

Li Mingtao...... Li Mingtao is dead. The man whispered, then lowered his head and said no more.

"You said Li Mingtao - dead?" The more surprised the news, Gu Zhixian calmed down.

"It seems that someone has tried their best to suppress this matter, and Li Mingtao's death has not spread." The man explained.

"What the hell is going on?" Gu Zhixian was a little irritable.

"Your Highness, the ins and outs of the whole thing have not been clarified, I only know that after Li Mingtao and Master Miao met, Master Miao's token was found in Li Mingtao's house, and Nanying suddenly appeared in the same place for some reason, and was just caught by Jiang Barium. And Li Mingtao died that night, saying that he committed suicide in fear of crime, and Nanying was nowhere to be found. "The man gathered all the news together.

All of this seems to indicate something unusual, but it is impossible to find any gaps.

"Call Nanmang." Gu Zhixian just commanded lightly, but the teacup clenched in his hand revealed the anger in his heart.

"Yes."

"Let people check the palace of Anwang to see if the person is really in the palace!" Gu Zhixian had doubts about Nan Mang.

Yes, such a suspicious person would not believe anyone, except himself.

Nan Mang appeared in front of Gu Zhixian after a while, kneeling on one knee with a low voice.

"Master." Nan Mang lowered his head and couldn't see his expression.

"Nan Mang, when you were four years old and helpless, the whole clan was wiped out, this prince brought you back and sent you to the hall to learn skills, do you remember?" Gu Zhixian sat on the seat, picked up the teacup, and looked at the sinking tea leaves.

"The subordinates dare not forget the great kindness of His Highness, and they will remember it forever!" Nan Mang's body trembled slightly.

"Soβ€”what are you doing to me now!?" Gu Zhixian slammed the teacup to Nan Mang's side, the teacup shattered, the tea splashed, and the porcelain piece bounced onto Nan Mang's face, drawing a bright red cut, and the blood beads gradually fell in an instant.

"Subordinates should be damned." Nan Mang knelt down on his legs.

"Good, good! So where the hell is going to die? Gu Zhixian asked with a sneer.

"Nanmang failed to live up to his master's trust and failed to do a good job, and asked His Highness to punish him." Nan Mang spoke in a routine tone.

"Is it a disappointment, or is it simply intentional! Tell me, did you kill Li Mingtao! Gu Zhixian stared at him and asked sharply.

"Yes." Nan Mang responds lightly.

"Hmph, why don't you report it?" Gu Zhixian's face became even colder.

The subordinates followed Nanying all the way, but by then they had learned that Nanying had been imprisoned, but they couldn't find him in prison. The subordinates did think about killing Li Mingtao to prevent future troubles, but found that this person had lost his breath in prison. Only then did he go to find Miao Gao, according to Miao Gao, he was imprisoned by a prostitute named Chunyu, just to take revenge and make the Li family unsuccessful. Nan Mang's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he said fluently.

"You mean you found Li Mingtao dead when you went? ......" Gu Zhixian calmed down for a moment, thinking carefully about what happened and what happened.

"Yes, my subordinates dare not deceive the Lord." Nan Mang replied firmly.

"How did a prostitute find out about the affair between Li and Miao Gao?" Gu Zhixian quickly noticed that something was unusual.

"Your Highness, this should be related to the Xianchi Tower." Nan Mang responded gently.

"Xianchi Lou ......" Gu Zhixian thought secretly, and didn't speak for a long time, and Nan Mang was not in a hurry, just knelt and waited quietly.

"Not good!" Gu Zhixian stood up suddenly, and even Nan Mang raised his head to look at him.

"Nan Mang, quickly take people to King An's Mansion, and find Miao Gao's figure and immediately extinguish his mouth, he must not stay!" Gu Zhixian ordered.

On Tao Yaoyao's side, it is a different scene compared to the tension in the Prince's Mansion.

"Don't you move!" Tao Yaoyao was a little dissatisfied with the one lying on the bed.

"Hmm." Gu Zhiqi smelled the good aroma on Tao Yaoyao's body, and felt a little stupid in his heart.

He was only a stone's throw away from Tao Yao's face, Tao Yao's long eyelashes, tender red cherry lips, and bright and flawless eyes were all reflected in his eyes, making his breathing slowly become rapid.

"Here, it's going to have to be a little higher." Tao Yaoyao muttered to herself.

"Zhao'er, how did you get Miao Gao to recruit all the tricks." Gu Zhiqi still doesn't know why Miao Gao, who refuses to tell the truth for a word, is recruited after a few strokes.

"Did you know there's something called Breeze Scattering?" Tao Xiaoyao replied unconcernedly.

"The breeze is gone?" Gu Zhiqi frowned.

"Hey, big brother! Can you stop frowning? I've got to repost it again! Tao Xiaoxiao immediately shouted.

After Gu Zhiqi was obedient and expressionless, Tao Xiaoxiao continued to explain: "The breeze is scattered, it can make people lose their minds and even fall into an illusion, so don't say what you ask after eating, he doesn't even remember after asking!" ”

Tao Yaoyao explained with some pride, but Gu Zhiqi couldn't help but ask: "If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible to control people's minds?" ”

"Of course not, not to mention how difficult it is to get the medicinal materials needed for this thing, if it weren't for all of my master's things, he would definitely not be able to make it. And I don't have much, the point is that this breeze is not effective for everyone, and some people will be much weaker if they are strong-willed. Besides, those who use this medicine are somewhat brain-hurting, and if they don't grasp it well, they may become mentally retarded. Tao Yaoyao hurriedly said, if not, wouldn't this thing be able to dominate the world?

"I see." Gu Zhiqi wanted to nod, but he couldn't move now, so he had to watch Tao Yao stop talking and listen to his fiddling.

"That's it!" Tao Yaoyao clapped her hands and washed the disfiguring cream on her hands with hot water.

Gu Zhiqi got up and looked at his face in the mirror, although there was a little flaw, but if he didn't look carefully, he would never find that this person was not Miao Gao.

Yes, in the past few days, he has been suffering from any information from Miao Gao's mouth, but fortunately, Tao Yao has a way to get all the words out. He came to him again in the morning to apply this disguise ointment, just to pretend to be Miao Gao and give the coming person a false impression.

"Alright, tie the rope quickly, the people are almost there!" Tao Yaoyao hurriedly greeted the person who was pondering carefully in the mirror.

The flare has been sent out, and it is estimated that someone will be coming soon.

Gu Zhiqi sat down obediently and asked Tao Yaoyao to tie him up.

"Listen well, you hide this medicine under your tongue, and if you swallow it, you will hold your breath, and it will really hang up after a long time. Before the queen and the others come, you must wash the things on your face! See, there is water on the brazier, you must use hot water, remember? Tao Xiaoyao emphasized again without difficulty.

"Got it, Zhao'er." Gu Zhiqi smiled and nodded.

"Well, that's good. Do you think Ding Muxue can handle it? Tao Yaoyao looked at the benevolent brother who had been tied up by five flowers, sat down and asked a little absent-mindedly.

"Definitely." Gu Zhiqi nodded.

"Well, hopefully everything goes well." That way she can get her things earlier and leave early.

Gu Zhiqi didn't answer, he looked at her quietly, the two people had different thoughts, although people were dealing with the same thing, things were already doomed.

"Auntie, you can make Mu Xue very happy this time, auntie sit down." Ding Muxue was also very excited to see that the queen was really here.

"Mu Xue, you said that you have something important to tell you, so what's the matter?" The queen sat down and smiled slightly.

"Tomorrow is my aunt's birthday, and Mu Xue has a gift she wants to give to her aunt, but she can't bring it herself. My aunt also knows that the prince is seriously ill in bed now, and tomorrow's aunt's birthday Mu Xue is afraid that it will be ......" Speaking of this, Ding Muxue's eyes also dimmed a lot.

The queen saw her expression in her eyes, and then smiled kindly and gently: "Mu Xue, unmarried from his father, married from his husband, King An is just weak in his body, and this palace has also brought a special imperial doctor and various precious medicinal materials, which will definitely make him recover." ”

"Really? Great! Ding Muxue really looked like a child when she laughed.

"Will my aunt still lie to you?" The queen said with a smile.

"Mu Xue doesn't dare, then my aunt will look at the gift Mu Xue gave first, and then Mu Xue will take my aunt to the prince!" Ding Muxue said excitedly, and her mood at this time was also much better.

The queen nodded, after receiving the message sent by Ding Muxue, she came directly to King An's mansion because she was looking for a reason to see if King An was really sick. It was a great opportunity, and she certainly wouldn't let it go.

Ding Muxue happily walked to the side and took out a lot of thick sticks of various colors with people.

"Auntie, this gift will wait until it gets dark, Auntie wait patiently, but the sun will set in half an hour." After Ding Muxue got the things done, she ran to the queen and said happily.

"Okay." The queen's mood was also a little relaxed, and she replied with a smile.
