Chapter 17: The Assassins
Looking at the handwriting on the rice paper, Gu Li, who was used to writing hairpins, was ecstatic for a while: "It turns out that you can still write like this, I will!" ”
The moment she turned her head, she almost got close to Chu Xun's lips.
"I'm sorry, I was so excited."
Sensing the slightly ambiguous distance between the two people, Gu Li quickly pushed him away.
Chu Xun looked at her as a snake and scorpion and was a little displeased: "It's okay." ”
The softness in his arms dissipated, and the young man's heart sank.
Does she still hate him so much?
Afternoon.
Sui Ying brought the meal of the two over.
Gu Li had basically been hungry for a day, and after smelling the aroma of the food, she couldn't hold it back.
Chu Xun silently opened the box and placed the dishes neatly on the table.
He didn't like it though when someone was eating in her study.
However, there are always people who are exceptional.
Isn't it?
As night fell, the rain outside still didn't mean to stop.
Gu Li sighed, it seemed that he was really going to be here for one night.
Seeing the sad face of the little woman.
Chu Xun put down the book in his hand, turned his wheelchair and stepped forward to open the door of the study.
Gu Li saw that he was leaving, and hurriedly followed.
"Chu Xun, where am I sleeping tonight?"
The boy glanced at her, "Follow me." ”
Just when Gu Li was stunned, the people in front of her were already far away from her.
After Gu Li bit her lower lip, she quickly ran over: "Chu Xun, why don't you wait for me?" ”
The girl's red lips looked a little moist, and her cheeks were flushed with the sheer of running too fast.
"I didn't expect you to walk so slowly." Chu Xun took his eyes off her and directly pushed the door open.
Gu Li followed him in.
This place should be a bedroom, although the environment inside is a little shabby, but fortunately clean.
Chu Xun went to the cabinet, took out a clean dress from it, and threw it directly to Gu Li: "This is my clothes, I haven't worn them yet, let's take a look first." ”
Looking at the man's costume in front of him, Gu Li was a little embarrassed for a while.
But come to think of it, it's always better to wear this outfit than to wear wet clothes......
"Thank you." Gu Li took the clothes in his hand: "However, I live here, where do you live?" ”
"There is only one bedroom in the mansion, I will sleep in the study for one night, you can do it yourself." After Chu Xun finished speaking, he turned around the wheelchair and prepared to leave.
Gu Li didn't expect him to give up his room to himself: "Chu Xun, I'll go to the study." ”
His body is inconvenient, if he really occupies other people's bedrooms, then how embarrassing is it.
Chu Xun insisted unusually: "No need, the woman's body is delicate, if you are sick, how should I explain to Prime Minister Gu Cheng?" ”
"It's okay, I was the one who troubled you."
It's the first time I've made peace with my rival like this.
Gu Li always felt an indescribable sense of weirdness.
Chu Xun looked up at her and said word by word: "Miss, have you brought me less trouble since I was a child?" ”
Gu Li didn't expect him to say that.
He did look for trouble for Chu everywhere before.
"I ......"
While the two were talking, Yuting hurriedly walked over: "Miss! ”
Suiying took a handful of dog tail grass in his mouth and followed leisurely.
"Where have you been?" Gu Li saw Yuting coming over and asked softly.
Yuting looked at Sui Ying with an angry face: "This guy asked me to chop firewood in the kitchen with him, I chopped all afternoon, my hands were red, and my shoulders were sore." ”
"That's for your young lady to boil water, and you're still complaining?" Suiying took the dog's tail grass in his hand, still looking like a hanger.
Gu Li looked at the scene of the two arguing, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "Okay, it's hard work for our Yuting." ”
"Miss, next door is the ear room, I'll take Miss to take a bath first." After Yuting finished speaking, he glared at Sui Ying fiercely.
Suiying also glared back unceremoniously: "Cut, isn't it just chopping some firewood, squeamish or something!" ”
"I've never seen you like a man who doesn't pity the fragrance and cherishes the jade, I curse you to find a wife in your life!" Yuting rolled her eyes at him.
Suiying's eyes widened angrily: "With your violent temper, no one dares to marry you." ”
Yuting ignored him anymore, and directly took his young lady's hand and went to the ear room next to him.
Sui Ying looked at his master's eyes and couldn't help but remind.
"Master, the man is gone."
He had never seen such a cold and ruthless person as his master be so caring.
Actually let him have a secret guard who has killed countless people to chop wood and boil water!
Suiying has felt that she has never been so wronged in her life.
Chu Xun slowly came back to his senses, and said in an indifferent tone: "As a gentleman, you should let a woman do it, how can you let her do it?" ”
He knew how much Gu Li attached importance to this little maid.
"I'm not a gentleman, I'm a secret guard, besides, it's boiling water for her young lady, isn't this what she should do?" Sui Ying looked at his master pitifully.
Chu Xun snorted coldly.
He suddenly felt that the little maid was right.
After bathing, Gu Li looked at the loose men's clothes on her body and twisted her eyebrows.
is usually dignified, and the first time she looks like this, she always feels a little awkward.
Yuting dried her hair: "Miss, I've already washed your clothes, they should be dry tomorrow." ”
The wind outside is blowing very strongly, so it is good to leave it on the window side for the night.
The first time she rested in an unfamiliar place, Gu Li lay on the couch for a long time without feeling sleepy.
Thinking of the picture of the two of them writing today, Gu Li panicked all over.
Chu Xun shouldn't think she has other thoughts, right?
The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became.
In order not to let herself think crankily again, she grabbed the quilt and covered her head.
As soon as she covered the quilt, she noticed that the fragrance on the quilt was exactly the same as that on Chu Xun's body.
Oh my God, I can't sleep right now.
Gu Li turned over helplessly, and was just about to get out of bed to drink some water, when he suddenly heard the sound of tiles falling from the eaves.
"Miss, there are a lot of people in black outside!" The rain pavilion guarding outside hurriedly ran over.
Gu Li was still relatively calm: "How many people are there on the other side?" ”
She hasn't offended anyone in normal times, and this group of people shouldn't be coming for her.
Could it be that this group of people was sent to assassinate Chu Xun.
However, a lame prince, whose way can he stand in the way?
"I can't count how many people there are, miss, find a place to hide!"
Yuting hurriedly pulled Gu Li and pushed the person directly into the cabinet.
Gu Li wanted to pull the rain pavilion in, but it was too late.
"Bang".
The outside door was kicked open, and a man in black led by him glanced at the room menacingly.
Even though Yuting was a little flustered in his heart, he still pretended to look at him calmly: "What is the matter with your late night visit?" ”
"Where is the third prince?" The man on the other side approached slowly with a knife, and his tone was terrifyingly cold.
Yuting secretly swallowed his saliva: "I don't know. ”
"Say it quickly?" The man aimed the tip of the knife directly at her neck.
