Chapter 10, The Assassins

After the Buddha's light, the pilgrims of the Wushan temple had all left in pieces, Gu Ziyue and Su Chenye had nothing to do, and they also left Wushan after staying there for two days and continued to go north to Wenzhou.

Wenzhou has a special topography, pleasant climate all year round, summer is not hot, winter is mild, so Wenzhou sericulture industry is very popular. When the two entered the boundary of Wenzhou, it was already evening, the sun was slanting westward, and the whole Wenzhou city was in the continuous sunset, golden and bright, very lazy and noble.

Su Chenye led Gu Ziyue to an inn called Fenglai Pavilion with a familiar car. Gu Ziyue couldn't help laughing and said: "Wenzhou is not prosperous, you even know the best inn here?"

Su Chenye said: "This is Granny Wang's inn, didn't I say that I wanted to come here to drink her pear blossom brew?" Fenglai Pavilion is not the best inn, the best inn is under my name Agarwood Pavilion. ”

The corners of Gu Ziyue's mouth rose and she didn't refute.

The two entered the inn, and it happened that Granny Wang was entertaining guests on the first floor, and when she saw Su Chenye, she was stunned at first, and immediately smiled and said, "Yuzhuo boy, why are you here now." Let's go to the backyard and rest, I'll be there right away. After speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Gu Ziyue, nodded with satisfaction, and went to the back kitchen.

Gu Ziyue smiled helplessly, and followed Su Chenye to the backyard, "Why does that mother-in-law call you Yuzhuo? ”

Su Chenye smiled: "My mother is a jade concubine, and I am a burning word." Therefore, in front of outsiders, they all call Yuzhuo. ”

"Does Granny Wang know your true identity?"

"You know, the affairs of the Agarwood Pavilion in Wenzhou City are in charge of Granny Wang, don't look at her age, there are three things she is best at: wine, abacus, and kung fu. “

Gu Ziyue was immediately startled, she really underestimated this mother-in-law, but she didn't expect that it looked harmless to humans and animals, but she had unique skills, which was really incredible.

Soon, Granny Wang brought good wine and food to the backyard, and when she saw the two of them, she saluted first: "I have seen the prince, the princess, all the way, and the two of them have a good life to rest." ”

Gu Ziyue hurriedly got up and helped Granny Wang to get up: "Mother-in-law, why should you be polite. When we go out, we are not a crown princess, but we are just ordinary people traveling. “

"Madame can think so naturally the best, our family Chenye, when you are not familiar with the most courtesy, after getting acquainted, it is inevitable that you will be sometimes rude, and sometimes you will talk nonsense, you don't have to worry about him, this child I have watched him grow up since he was a child, although he was born in the emperor's family, but he has suffered a lot, but he has been strong since he was a child, and he is also considerate, I see that you are a good girl, and now that he has married him, the prince of the Western Han Dynasty, I hope you will assist him well and work hard for him in the inner courtyard. He is a good boy and the most responsible, although you can rest assured that if he ascends the throne in the future, it is inevitable that you will be wronged, but I believe, good girl, you have already made a decision for this, right?" Granny Wang's expression was very sincere, Gu Ziyue was not easy to answer for a while, but she smiled and nodded at her.

Yes, she has thought about it, she will always be old and decrepit one day, but there will never be a shortage of young and beautiful women around him, just that, where is there a happy life?

After Granny Wang left, Gu Ziyue and Su Chenye had a few drinks together, and listened to each other tell each other a lot of things about their childhood, those happy and unhappy, wounds and healing, all slowly faded with time, and now they are found from their memories and told the person who drank with them that it is really a happy thing in life.

After three rounds of drinking, Gu Ziyue was already a little drunk, she smiled and said, "I'm drunk, I'm afraid I'm going to talk nonsense if I drink it again, so I'll rest first." “

Su Chenye got up and helped her into the house, called someone to bring hot water to bathe her, and after seeing her enter the screen and began to undress, he turned around and left, closing the door gently.

Su Chenye did not go back to his room, but sat in the courtyard and drank alone.

"Do you have eyebrows?"

A young man walked out of the darkness, dressed in black, with a respectful attitude: "Su Chenrui did go to the Imperial Capital of Dongliang with the intention of forming an alliance with the Prince of Dongliang. “

"What is there for Su Chenrui to take the risk of Prince Dongliang? I am now married to Dongliang, and Prince Dongliang should weigh it well. ”

The young man nodded and continued: "Su Chenrui gave Prince Dongliang a gift, and Prince Dongliang already has some intentions. ”

"Did you find out?"

"Not yet, Su Chenrui is very well protected. ”

Su Chenye nodded and motioned for him to continue investigating. The man in black hesitated for a moment and continued: "There is one more matter, I don't know if His Highness is interested. ”

Su Chenye was about to listen, when he suddenly heard a noise in his room, very soft, but enough for him to hear. He waved his hand, the young man was immediately silent, Su Chenye groped his way into the house, but when he opened the door, there was no one in the room, it was like someone just touched the window and left, it was like, the sound was striking everywhere!

Su Chenye was very nervous for a moment, and immediately rushed to Gu Ziyue's room, sure enough, Gu Ziyue was gone, and the brocade quilt on the bed was still neat, which meant that Gu Ziyue had not gone to bed yet.

"Your Highness, this is incense. ”

Su Chenye nodded, "Gather people, find it immediately, it shouldn't be able to run far, and at the same time block all the roads out of the city, no one is allowed to go out of the city tonight, remember, it's anyone, and the emperor can't do it." “

The young man nodded immediately, and when he was about to turn around, he turned around and said, "Your Highness, the thing I was about to say may have something to do with this. ”

Su Chenye immediately raised his head, his eyes were very cold.

The young man's body trembled slightly, and said, "Princess Qinhe also arrived in Wenzhou before you arrived in Wenzhou, only a quarter of an hour before you. And it is also from the direction of Wuzhou. ”

After the young man finished speaking, he was about to retreat, but Su Chenye stopped him: "Immediately search for the traces of Qinhe, especially the place where she stayed, Gu Ziyue is very likely to have been taken away by her." Just go. ”

After instructing his subordinates, Su Chenye sat down alone, where would Qinhe go? She also came from Wuzhou, could it be that Su Chenye suddenly remembered that the female guest who stayed in the Wuzhou temple a day earlier could it be Qinhe? Qinhe had been following him since the day of his wedding, Qinhe knew him too well, and she knew Su Chenye herself scared, she almost didn't have to follow too closely to know where Su Chenye would go and what inn she would stay in, but if Qinhe came to Wenzhou, where would she go? Why not in Wuzhou, not in the next stop of Dayu, but in Wenzhou, is because, Su Chenye suddenly remembered that when Qinhe left home that year to follow her master to travel around, he met Su Chenye in Wenzhou, Qinhe had a high fever that day, and it was Su Chenye who took care of her all night, at that time, it was in the suburban courtyard!

Su Chenye immediately hit his horse and went out of the city.

In a courtyard under Su Chenye's name on the outskirts of the city, Qinhe's subordinates kidnapped Gu Ziyue and brought it over. When Gu Ziyue woke up, there were scenes she had never seen before, she panicked for a moment, and immediately understood that she had been kidnapped.

This is obviously an elegantly decorated room, there is a person sitting in front of her, wearing a black cloak, that person did not kill herself, so she must have something to say to her, what is the purpose of abducting herself? She knows that she is worthless, so it is to threaten Su Chenye? Could it be his brother Su Chenrui, but isn't he in the imperial capital? Thinking about it, the woman raised the teacup and took a sip of tea, and as she raised it, her arm was exposed, slender and white, and very well maintained, it seemed to be a woman. A woman?

"The girl didn't kidnap me here to see you drink tea, did she?"

The woman turned to look at her, Gu Ziyue saw the girl who kidnapped her, she was really good-looking, her eyebrows were thin, her eyes were not big but slender, and she could see the affectionate veins between her eyes.

"Do you know me? Do you know this yard?"

"I don't know, if the girl has something to say, you might as well say it directly, and if you want anything, you might as well tell me directly, maybe I can satisfy you if you don't kill me. “

The beautiful girl smiled coldly: "Gu Ziyue, you are really naïve, let me tell you, I am Su Chenye's cousin, the princess of Qinhe in Southern Qi, this courtyard is the place where I and my cousin are in love, he once took care of me here for a day and a night, and never left for a moment." Concubine Yu is my aunt, we have had a marriage contract since we were children, don't you understand? I want to marry my cousin, but I killed you halfway, how can I bear it. “

Only then did Gu Ziyue understand, okay, Su Chenye's rotten peach blossom, but it doesn't seem to be a rotten peach blossom, this peach blossom is not only beautiful, but also justifiable.

"What does Her Royal Highness the Princess think?"

"Kill you, I can be the crown princess of the Western Han Dynasty, and I can marry my cousin. ”

"The princess is really naïve, if your cousin wants to marry you, why wait until the day I appear, you have known each other since childhood, isn't it deeper than the friendship between us, he doesn't marry you, it's not that he doesn't want to marry now, it's just that he doesn't want to marry you. ”

Qinhe's eyes suddenly split, glared at Gu Ziyue and said, "Gu Ziyue, what do you think you are? Do you think your cousin is willing to marry you? Don't be naïve, he is for the diplomatic relations between the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Liang." ”

Gu Ziyue disagreed: "Yes, but at least he married me." After a pause, he continued, "I fulfilled your dream, didn't I?"

Gu Ziyue is really dead, Qin He was furious, drew his sword and stabbed Gu Ziyue directly in the chest, Gu Ziyue suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and finally felt a little scared in his heart.

She thought that she was her cousin-in-law after all, and she would not kill her if she was afraid of the royal face, but she never thought that Qinhe was a princess who did not understand scheming, and Gu Ziyue was just an enemy to her, robbing her lover and her happiness.

Gu Ziyue looked at the smiling Qinhe, and said lightly: "Okay, if you kill it, kill it, anyway, I have already avenged Aunt Bai and Gu Zixuan, I really don't have any regrets, it's just a pity, your cousin said that he would love me when he was in Wuzhou, although it is not now, but it also makes me look forward to it, it's just that I don't have that blessing." I'm dead, and I hope you can grant your wish. Princess Qinhe, you are very beautiful, Su Chenye doesn't love you, he has no vision, if you marry him in the future, please assist him well and let him be a good emperor, okay?"

Qin He was shocked, she suddenly felt very unhappy, even if she killed her, what could she do? There will be a second Gu Ziyue, and a third Gu Ziyue will appear, intending to snatch her cousin.

"Let's go, she's dying, don't worry about it. Let's go back. ”

"Where is the princess?"

"Go back to Nanqi, go back where you come from. ”
