Chapter 192: Bloody Washing of the Imperial City
When Ling'er finished saying this, he could already catch a glimpse of the chaotic scene ahead, and the one who ran at the forefront had already caught up with the man in black and was fighting hard.
I really don't know why the so-called martial arts alliance leader would approve of such rules, doesn't he want to see a peaceful world as the alliance leader, and likes to see people killing each other and bleeding like rivers?
However, this issue is not suitable for discussion for the time being, as a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she is also the culprit of the whole thing, and she is duty-bound to help the Prime Minister's Mansion clear these troubles.
I don't know how long I fought, how long I searched, until the streets and alleys of the imperial city were lying with blood, and no trace of the man in black was found, and everyone turned back to the prime minister's mansion.
By this time, it was already getting dark, and everything on the streets was becoming clearer.
Blood flowed all over the ground, glowing with eerie colors under the flickering lights of the street.
Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was the same scene, with dead bodies in one place and brown blood in one place. Even the cluster of newly blooming chrysanthemums in front of her house was stained with blood, and she couldn't see the original color clearly.
Last night, not only the Prime Minister's Mansion was washed in blood, but also the Imperial City, and it was really a nightmare night.
If it weren't for the fact that she revealed her identity as the head of Changle Palace two days ago, she would not have attracted so many outlaws who coveted the tears of the mermaids, and the Prime Minister's Mansion would not have suffered this catastrophe, let alone so many people would have died...... Thinking that all this was caused by his own impulse, Gu Wanwan suddenly regretted it.
"I really shouldn't have been." Gu Wanwan lowered her head in shame.
Seeing her self-blaming appearance, Ling'er stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her softly: "This can't be considered the princess's fault, the princess did that at that time, and it was a last resort!" ”
If it wasn't for the emperor who forcibly accepted the princess as a concubine at that time, the princess would not have to borrow the identity of the head of Changle Palace. Now, not only did the eldest lady not want to see her, but also caused these disasters, in the final analysis, it was the emperor's fault, not the princess's fault, she really felt sorry for the princess.
"Princess, you go into the house, Ling'er will go and fetch water for you, take a bath and sleep well, it's okay." After Ling'er finished speaking, she turned around and left, but bumped into the housekeeper who was in a hurry.
"Butler, what's wrong with you?"
"My lord asked me to come to the princess!" The housekeeper replied softly, walked quickly behind Gu Wanwan and saluted, "Princess, the master wants you to go to the study." ”
"I know, you tell Dad, I'll change my clothes and come!" Even if Gu Zhenhai didn't look for her, she was ready to see him, if something like this happened, she didn't want to hide, and she should take the responsibility she should bear.
Looking at the blood stains on his clothes, Gu Wanwan sighed lightly, and turned to Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, you can help me get some cold water!" ”
After cleaning up, Gu Wanwan came to the study, Qingcheng was also in the house, and when he saw Gu Wanwan, he frowned slightly: "Senior sister, you don't have a good face?" Isn't it too tired? ”
Gu Wanwan shook her head and said, "Senior brother, I'm fine." It's hurt everyone. ”
Qingcheng's spotless white clothes have been stained with a lot of blood at the moment, which shows how busy Qingcheng is, she doesn't even have time to take a shower and change clothes, compared to Qingcheng, she is much more relaxed.
Even when she went to chase and kill the man in black, it was Ling'er who opened the way in front and tried not to let her do it, thinking of this, she was really ashamed.
"Why should the junior sister blame herself? Again, it's none of your business. Qingcheng raised his eyebrows and smiled at her.
"Senior brother, don't protect me, if it weren't for me being in charge, I wouldn't have invited these things." She knew that Qingcheng was very kind, and she couldn't bear to blame her, but she already knew from the conversation of those men in black last night that she caused it.
Qingcheng's face was slightly sluggish, and he didn't know how to comfort Gu Wanwan for a while.
"You don't have to feel guilty! Sooner or later! Gu Zhenhai, who had been silent, spoke at this time.
"Daddy......" Gu Wanwan looked at him in surprise, she thought that Gu Zhenhai called her here to reprimand her, but she didn't expect Gu Zhenhai to scold her, but comforted her.
Even Qingcheng beside him was surprised, this was really not like Master's usual personality.
"Yes, last night's incident was indeed caused by the emergence of the head of the house, but it is not the first day that the world covets the tears of the merman. It's just that the terrain of the East China Sea is dangerous, and it is even more difficult to enter Changle Palace, so the world has only coveted it and has not taken action. Now this move can be regarded as a lesson for them. Gu Zhenhai said in a deep voice.
"How easy is it to get a treasure? Of course, at the cost of bloodshed and sacrifice! ”
"Dad, you comfort me so much, I'm really ......" Gu Zhenhai, in order to comfort her, actually condemned the world for deserving it, she was really moved, and suddenly she didn't know what to say.
"What the Father says is the truth." Gu Zhenhai looked at her, there was no expression on his face, but his words were warm, "My father really wants to teach you a good lesson, but I think you are tired all night and ashamed of what you have done, so I will no longer pursue you!" ”
"Master is wise!" After listening to Master's words, Qingcheng said with heartfelt emotion. He didn't want his sister to be punished, to be honest, he was also involved in the events of that day, and if his sister was to be punished, he should also accompany him to be punished.
"Thank you, Dad! Dad, you're so nice! Gu Wanwan's eyes flashed with tears, she was really excited, Gu Zhenhai forgave her so easily! She thought that Gu Zhenhai would use the palace rules of Changle Palace to punish her, but she didn't expect that she really didn't even have a word of reprimand.
In the face of the compliments of the two, Gu Zhenhai was still calm and snorted lightly.
"Don't be too happy yet, although the person who came last night was solved, it doesn't mean that the matter is over."
"We killed all the men in black last night, so no one should come to seek revenge!" Gu Wanwan frowned, that's what Ling'er told her, isn't that what happened?
"The group of people last night was killed, but there are still villains who covet treasures!" Gu Zhenhai accentuated his tone and said solemnly, "In order to protect the treasure, you must take precautions." ”
Speaking of this, Gu Zhenhai paused, looked at Gu Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, my father still has something to say to your senior brother, you should step back first!" ”
No way? He just talked about taking precautions, and she was listening to it energetically, and at this time he actually told her to step down?
"Dad, let me stay, I want to do my part!" Although she knew that Gu Zhenhai might be doing this for her good, she really didn't want to leave like that!
After all, last night's incident was also caused by her, don't want her to be responsible, it's so generous, if she doesn't show some good attitude and good performance, how can she be worthy of everyone?
Even if Gu Zhenhai really didn't need her help, she didn't want to stay out of the matter too much!
"No need, you go back and rest, if anything happens, Qingcheng will inform you!" Gu Zhenhai glanced at her, but he still shouldn't have the original intention.
Since this is the case, it is really inconvenient for her to say anything, her persistence cannot withstand Gu Zhenhai's resoluteness.
"That Wanwan retired first."
Gu Wanwan exited the study unhappily, closed the door, and could faintly hear Gu Zhenhai telling Qingcheng from inside the house: "You send more people to protect Wanwan!" ”
Although she deliberately lowered her voice, it still couldn't escape her ears.
It turned out that Gu Zhenhai was worried about her safety, but he was afraid that she would think wildly if she knew, so he let her go. But she also guessed with the heart of a villain that Gu Zhenhai was going to say something to Qingcheng that she couldn't listen to, what a villain!
On the way back, the corpses and blood stains in the corridor had been almost cleaned up, but there was still a faint smell of blood in the air.
I'm afraid that this smell will only accompany the Prime Minister for a few days, provided that no one will come to offend.
After last night's battle, she was really empty, and she didn't know what the future would be like.
Until she returned to her residence, Gu Wanwan still looked like she was worried about everything. When Ling'er saw it, she hurriedly asked her, "Princess, he didn't punish you, did he?" ”
"Nope. Not only did my father not punish me, but he also comforted me. Gu Wanwan squeezed a forced smile at Ling'er.
"Huh? That's a good thing! Princess, you should be happy, why ......" From Gu Wanwan's face, she really couldn't see any trace of joy, even the smile just now was just perfunctory to her.
"I want to laugh too, but I can't." Gu Wanwan sighed from the bottom of her heart. In fact, she would rather Gu Zhenhai blame her for a few words, then she would not have to blame herself so much, and she could leave all the future matters to Senior Brother Qingcheng to deal with very naturally.
But Gu Zhenhai didn't blame her, how could she live in peace with her conscience?
"Maybe you're tired, princess, don't think too much! Get a good night's sleep and wake up refreshed. Looking at Gu Wanwan's tired face, Ling'er said as she went over to make her bed.
"That's right, I'll get some sleep first." Gu Wanwan yawned loudly, no matter what, it is very important to nourish your spirit and maintain your physical strength.
"Princess, you can rest, Ling'er will retreat first." After making the bed, Ling'er immediately gave up her position.
"You go and rest, I really tired you last night." Gu Wanwan turned her head and said to Ling'er.
Ling'er responded with a smile and retreated, looking at her not too tired, does that prove that Ling'er's martial arts are above herself?
Gu Wanwan suddenly remembered that she still had many questions to ask Ling'er, but since Ling'er had retreated, it seemed that she had to wait until she wanted to come and ask again.
Xu was really tired, and after lying down, Gu Wanwan fell asleep groggily. But at the beginning, she didn't sleep well, she always felt as if there was someone next to her, but her eyelids were too heavy to open her eyes at all.
Then I lost consciousness and really fell asleep.
When she woke up, she realized that it was not her delusion, that there was really someone next to her bed.
The sky was getting dark, magnifying the black shadow beside the bed, revealing a chill, and fear instantly gathered in my heart.
"Ahh
