Tonight's full moon is obscured by thick clouds, and the path leading to the Imperial Garden is illuminated only by a few octagonal glazed palace lights.

This hazy night made Gu Qingyue feel an indescribable strangeness in her heart.

"Hui'er, do you think I have prestige in this court?"

Although Gu Qingyue was talking about a question, the sense of irony in and out of her words was about to overflow.

Hui'er had been following Gu Qingyue's left behind with her head down, and raised her head when she heard this.

"Slaves don't understand the affairs of the court."

"You don't need to understand the affairs of the court, can't you see from the attitude of the ministers towards me in the court?"

Gu Qingyue paused as she spoke, looking sideways at her.

Hui'er didn't dare to look back, on weekdays, when the emperor went to court, she stood outside the curtain.

She heard what was happening in the court clearly.

How could you not know that Mrs. Yang's gang had embarrassed the emperor several times?

"You should know, but I'm just afraid that I'll be angry, so I don't dare to say yes, right?"

Gu Qingyue no longer stared at her, but said to herself.

"But Huang Shang, does this have anything to do with the regent?"

Gu Qingyue raised her eyebrows when she heard this, this girl is really stubborn, she will not back down if she doesn't ask a thing or two.

"You wonder how I suddenly alienated the Regent, right?"

Hui'er nodded and looked at Gu Qingyue seriously.

"Because I really think that the regent is a seven-foot man, who is eloquent and martial, and has outstanding literary talents, will not be willing to live under a woman."

"Your Majesty, are you saying that the prince may be like Mrs. Yang who usurps power and seizes power?"

Hui'er said incredulously.

"But the slave thinks you're too worried."

"Didn't the emperor see it? The prince is pleased with you! How is it possible to try to usurp power? ”

Hui'er seemed to think that Gu Qingyue was worrying about nothing.

Gu Qingyue felt a little funny when she heard Hui'er's words.

This girl is really naïve.

"Hui'er," Gu Qingyue suppressed the smile on her face, "You have to understand that I am the emperor." ”

Hui'er looked at her steadily.

"For me, the most important thing is to ensure the food and clothing of the people of Dayao and firmly hold the power of Dayao in my hands."

"I can do anything for that."

When Gu Qingyue said these words, her brows were tightly locked, her eyes were as sharp as steel needles, and her whole person looked resolute and ruthless.

"Your Majesty......"

Hui'er thought for a moment and said worriedly, "Aren't you afraid that after you turn against the regent, he will rebel?" ”

When she said the last sentence, Hui'er deliberately lowered her voice, as if she was afraid that someone would know.

"And which side will you be on then?"

Gu Qingyue asked her with a smile instead.

"I'm definitely on the emperor's side!"

Hui'er said without hesitation.

Although the regent just took her life, in the final analysis, he is the emperor's person, and even if in the end, the emperor and the regent turn against each other, he will help the emperor.

Seeing Hui'er's posture of wanting to die for her, Gu Qingyue was amused.

Seeing that they had already walked around the imperial garden, they were about to go back.

Suddenly, Gu Qingyue only felt that the back of her neck was cold, as if there was a hunting wind sound from a sword cutting through the air.

She dodged to the side with great speed, and then there was a piercing "whoosh" sound of the blade of the sword slashing against the masonry.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Hui'er's face turned pale with fright from the scene just now, and now that she reacted, she screamed at Gu Qingyue.

Gu Qingyue knew that this person was coming for herself.

If I hadn't had a premonition just now, I am afraid that I would have been killed with one sword.

Gu Qingyue reacted extremely quickly and pushed Hui'er beside her.

Hui'er immediately understood what Gu Qingyue meant, Gu Qingyue was asking him to find a helper.

The target of the man in black was only Gu Qingyue, and he didn't step forward to catch up when he saw Hui'er running away.

Instead, he raised his sword and swung it at Gu Qingyue again.

They were now in a remote corner of the Imperial Garden, surrounded by walls on three sides, and the only exit was blocked by the man in black.

And she was defenseless at the moment.

At the moment when the sword was about to stab her neck, Gu Qingyue picked up an inconspicuous lantern in the corner of the wall, and smashed it sideways towards the hand of the man in black.

The body of the lantern is made of glazed firing, and the upper and lower corners are covered with porcelain.

It is light in the hand, but extremely hard and has sharp edges.

When it was smashed up, the wrist of the man in black was weak, and the direction of the sword blade was smashed.

This sword roared past Gu Qingyue's ears stiffly.

A strand of hair fluttering from her forehead touched the blade of her sword, and all of them were cut off.

After Gu Qingyue finished smashing, she ran away.

The man in black was a little annoyed and angry when he saw that he had failed to attack twice and was smashed on the wrist by this person.

Immediately raised his sword and chased after him.

This man in black can do light work, and it didn't take long for him to block Gu Qingyue again.

Another dead end.

Gu Qingyue had just used too much strength to run, and her limbs were weak and out of breath at the moment.

Seeing that she couldn't run, the man in black was not in a hurry, and pressed towards Gu Qingyue step by step.

Every time he took a step forward, Gu Qingyue couldn't help but take a step back.

At this time, Gu Qingyue saw the general appearance of this person clearly.

The man was dressed in a night suit, covered his nose and mouth, and wore a scarf on his head, revealing only a pair of unfathomable eyes on his entire face.

This man had apparently been planning today's assassination for a long time.

Gu Qingyue lowered her head, and the cloth of the shoes on this person's feet was actually made of silk, and the auspicious cloud patterns were embroidered on them.

In Dayao, the people's clothing is very strict.

Only the cloth of the boots of the people in the palace can be embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns.

This man is obviously from the palace!

"Dare to ask who sent me to assassinate me?"

Gu Qingyue clenched her fists in her sleeves and asked in a cold voice.

"It's all dying, what's the use of knowing this?" There seemed to be a cold light flashing in the eyes of the man in black, his voice was hoarse, and he took another step closer to her.

"I have to die to understand," Gu Qingyue took another step back, her boots hit the wall, the cold wall was attached to Gu Qingyue's back, a burst of despair mixed with a chill climbed up her back, and she was shaken all over.

Even though she was terrified to death, she quietly clenched her fingers tighter to prevent herself from showing fear in front of the man in black.

"There are more people who have a grudge against me," Gu Qingyue tried to calm down as much as possible, "I'm just curious about which one is the one who has the courage to send someone to assassinate me." ”

The corners of the black-clothed man's mouth covered under the black scarf showed a smile of unknown meaning.

The woman's performance was beyond his expectations, seeing that the tip of the knife was about to touch her neck, but she did not look scared.

He thought that this man would be so frightened that he would beg for mercy on his knees.

Also, how can someone who can persuade Mrs. Yang quietly and unite to find out what Zhen Guogong has done?
