Back in the garden, Gu Mingzhu was a little remorseful.

Obviously, the two have not seen each other for several days, and they finally broke up when they met today, and now the situation is tense, and the next time they meet, I don't know how many days it will take.

She ate a few glasses of wine tonight, got some wine, ordered someone to bring hot water, and took a bath.

Yueyan knocked on the door, pushed the door in after getting the answer, held the tray, and said, "Miss, it's time to drink medicine today." ”

Gu Mingzhu soaked in the water, took the medicine, and the temperature was just right, she frowned and drank the medicine, and handed the bowl back.

Yue Yan continued the bowl and got down to business: "Miss, the city has been heavily guarded recently, and all forces are acting in secret, so I'm afraid of ......"

Before the words fell, a hurried knock sounded outside the house, and Ah San's voice sounded: "Miss, something happened." ”

Gu Mingzhu walked out of the bathtub, wiped it a few times, put on his clothes, and said with his wet hair on his back: "Come in and say." ”

Ah San pushed the door and entered, and said: "Miss, something happened in the East Palace, I just got the news, half an hour ago, the prince died of illness, and the princess also followed. ”

Yue Yan was handing Gu Mingzhu a dry towel, and when she heard the words, she turned her head back, and Gu Mingzhu said, "The prince died of illness?" ”

"The news that Lord Song ordered someone to come, and soon after, the news should spread all over Jiangling City, and Lord Song also asked me to tell the young lady, saying that tonight is not peaceful, and let the eldest prince must rush back to the palace now."

There is such a big event in the palace, and my brother should be on duty.

Gu Mingzhu didn't have time to think more, so he ordered: "Prepare the car immediately and pick up my brother." ”

Ah San immediately went to prepare.

Gu Mingzhu sat down at the table: "As soon as the crown prince dies, this battle for the chair of the East Palace will officially begin." ”

Yue Yan thought more deeply than her, and said, "Miss, I think there are other meanings in Song Gongzi's words. ”

Gu Mingzhu's eyebrows twisted into knots: "I also think that he is hinting at something, but he is afraid that the news will leak out, so he doesn't dare to be blatant." ”

"It's not a peaceful night...... It's not peaceful tonight......" Gu Mingzhu muttered and repeated this sentence: "Tonight is indeed a little uneven, Thirteen Gardens...... Prince...... Chiffon ......"

"Chiffon!" The two spoke in unison.

Yue Yan said: "I'm afraid that the news of the prince's illness and death has also reached the ears of Lisu, and the people who go to the Thirteen Gardens tonight are all the generals of the Royal Forest Army, if it is ......"

Gu Mingzhu stood up suddenly, and there was a bloody momentum in his eyes: "Leave Sui, don't you want to rebel tonight?" ”

Yue Yan said: "The prince died of illness, the emperor was seriously ill and in a coma, and the chief generals of the forbidden army all went home drunk. ”

Gu Mingzhu pulled up her long hair, walked out of the room with Yueyan, and said, "I will personally go to the Thirteen Gardens to talk to my brother about this matter, you go and inform them in the early autumn, pay attention to the movement of the palace, and report it immediately if there is any change." ”

"Yes."

The night breeze is bleak.

When Gu Mingzhu arrived at the Thirteenth Garden, Chu Xiao and his eldest brother were drinking happily in the lobby, and in the huge lobby, because of the third watch in the middle of the night, only the two of them were left, and there were actors singing on stage.

Gu Mingzhu held Gu Xiurong and said to Chu Xiao who was sitting opposite: "Lord Chu, in the middle of the night, my brother has something to do tomorrow, so I will take it away first." ”

"Hey, Miss Gu......" Chu Xiao stretched out his hand to stop him.

Gu Mingzhu turned sideways to avoid it and sneered: "Master Chu? Why? ”

Chu Xiao said: "Miss Gu, Brother Xiurong and I haven't drunk yet......"

Gu Mingzhu looked coldly: "Chu Xiao, I know what your purpose is, but now, I am going to take my brother away." ”

She said that people were about to go out, Chu Xiao got the order, how could she let her take Gu Xiurong, reached out to grab it, and said: "Girl, you ......"

"Get out of here!" Gu Mingzhu waved him away with his backhand.

Chu Xiao was so drunk that he almost didn't stand firm, and after Gu Mingzhu took two steps, he suddenly came back to his senses, jumped for life, and stopped in front of Gu Mingzhu.

"Miss Gu, you can't take him away now."

Gu Mingzhu's face was ugly, and Chu Xiao's various obstructions had already explained everything.

Ge Baoxue has stepped down, in addition to the emperor, my brother is now the first commander of the 40,000 Imperial Forest Army, if I am determined to usurp the throne tonight, my brother will die drunk here tonight, tomorrow morning, my brother is not a person who has left him, and he has to become a person who has left him.

"Joke, my brother I can't take away? Disperse! ”

Chu Xiao didn't move, the meaning was obvious.

Gu Mingzhu suddenly sneered, looked at him, and said, "You want to involve my brother in this whirlpool and pull him into the water, you were ordered to watch him tonight, but have you ever thought that today next year may be your sacrifice day." ”

She tore off her disguised face, her face was gloomy, she looked at Gu Xiurong, who was already drunk, and smiled.

Chu Xiao suddenly felt like a great enemy: "You ...... You ......"

Gu Mingzhu suddenly seemed to be a different person.

The lobby lights suddenly dimmed, and with a bang, the door was closed.

She put Gu Xiurong on the table and said, "Qingyu! ”

Two people suddenly appeared next to the railing on the second floor.

"Herring."

"Qingqi."

"I've seen Miss."

The herring flew down and landed beside Gu Mingzhu lightly.

This kind of effort......

Chu Xiao's face instantly became ugly: "You actually ...... Unexpectedly...... We all looked away, but I didn't expect it to be planted in your hands tonight! ”

Gu Mingzhu took the knife handed by Qingyu in one hand, she was not in a hurry, but there was a little madness in her eyes, the blade slashed the back of her delicate hand, and slowly pointed at Chu Xiao: "It's a pity, God is jealous of talent, I want you to achieve the position of a soldier at a young age, if you continue like this, in a few years, you will become a pivotal figure in the court, but tonight you will die here......"

Chu Xiao said angrily: "Gu Mingzhu, you dare!" I'm an official of the court! ”

Gu Mingzhu laughed, his eyes mocking: "It's really naïve, don't you know?" ”

Know what?

Chu Xiao glared angrily.

Gu Mingzhu said slowly: "The one I killed is the official of the imperial court......"

Chu Xiaofa pulled out the dagger in his sleeve fiercely, and rushed towards Gu Mingzhu with a quick movement.

But not long ago, the gentle girl who was still smiling and saying that she had seen all the adults, gloomyly holding a murderous knife, moving faster than him, snatched his dagger in an instant, his wrist stabbed, and before he could even react, the long knife pierced through the chest mercilessly.

Her breath sprayed in his ear: "You had a chance not to die, if you want to blame, blame it, you followed the wrong person, when you get to the underworld, remember to keep your eyes open." ”

Gu Mingzhu drew her knife, and blood spurted and splashed on her face and body.

She was suddenly unconscious, and said: "Dispose of the corpse, if you ask, say you don't know." ”

"Yes."

Gu Xiurong was taken back to the house by Gu Mingzhu, and vomited in a daze, Gu Mingzhu ordered someone to cook a sobering decoction, but the person couldn't wake up.

It should be drugged.

Gu Mingzhu thought secretly.

She sat for a while, then went out again, and just met Yue Yan who came back at the door: "Miss, if you really want to rebel, he controls the four gates of the palace in the name of the prince, and now the palace gates are all his people." ”

Gu Mingzhu thought for a while and asked, "What about Xu Jue?" Don't know the news yet? ”

Yueyan's face hesitated.

Gu Mingzhu said: "There is something to say. ”

Yue Yan was ruthless and said: "Xu Shizi also had an accident over there, I just came back from the house, not long ago, when Song Gongzi sent the message, the prince had already left Jiangling City. ”

Gu Mingzhu was taken aback: "Out of the city? Where to? He was ordered to enter Beijing, and if he did not have a will, he could not leave Beijing casually! ”

Yue Yan stiffened his head and said, "I just got the news, King Dingbei...... Nope. ”
