Crown Jewels

Chapter 219 The Betrayal of the Face

The surrounding crowd immediately became commotion.

Hearing the words, the courtiers and family members immediately backed away from him, and the sudden change made Li Jiang's expression become stern, and the five fingers in his cuffs clamped the jade wrench tightly.

He, Li Jiang, had raised his daughter in Prince Gong's mansion for so many years, the hatred in his eyes at this moment made him understand that perhaps she already knew all the truth.

The jade wrench caught between the fingers was broken into pieces under the suddenly increased force.

This recognition made Li Jiang straighten his hunched waist, as if he could remove all disguises in an instant.

Gu Baozhu stretched out her finger to Li Jiang, motioned towards the guards around her, met Li Jiang's deep eyes, her left hand was hanging down in her cuff, trembling slightly, but her gaze was as sharp as a knife, and she never left.A silent confrontation spread between the two. Just as the Yulin Guards were getting ready and the encirclement was shrinking layer by layer, Li Jiang, who was realizing it, suddenly pulled out a weird smile from the corner of his mouth. Seeing that smile in Gu Baozhu's eyes, it made her heart shudder. He flinched hard.

"Take it!"

The ominous premonition in his heart seemed to burst out of his chest, and the uncontrollable panic spread, as if something might happen at any time, Gu Baozhu sternly yelled at the guards again, with obvious urging in his tone.

But in Gu Baozhu's sight, the courtiers and family members around Li Jiang all stared at the scene behind Gu Baozhu in disbelief, and then panic and shocking emotions intertwined on their faces.

"Your Majesty be careful—"

As the courtier's reminder sounded, Gu Baozhu's body trembled uncontrollably. Just as he turned around, in front of the empress in a golden dragon robe, there was dripping blood on the ground, and the blood was dazzling red. , dripped onto the cold ground, still carrying the temperature of blood.

"aunt--"

"The royal guard!"

When the roar sounded, Gu Baozhu's eyes instantly turned sour, tears blurred his eyes but he tried his best to restrain himself, along with the gurgling blood, a gorgeous dagger with a handle stuck out of his heart, the blood ran across the blade, and the man's knuckles were clenched on the handle.

"Li Che!"

Gu Baozhu stepped forward and caught Gu Baozhu who was about to fall. In his sight, he saw Li Che, a thief in white, was fighting with the imperial forest guards who had heard the news. The white clothes slashed across the body like Ling Chi, and the unstained white clothes were instantly stained with bloodstains, and the red blood stains overflowed along the broken clothes.

"Aunt, Aunt—"

Gu Baozhu endured the hot tears, the blood on his right hand was wet and warm, sticky in the crevices of his fingers, and finally dripped onto the ground, mixing with the humble dust to form bloody mud.

However, her call was like a stone sinking into the sea. The half of the knife handle protruding from her chest was thick and thick, as if it was about to penetrate into the flesh and blood at any moment. Gu Baozhu choked her throat and held the knife handle with her right hand to prevent the wound from getting worse. Li Che should have had it long ago. Prevention means taking advantage of the empress Gu Jun's trust in him and being unprepared, so she directly made her aunt seriously injured and unconscious.

Looking at Li Che who was still struggling with the imperial guards while he was struggling with hatred, Gu Baozhu was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly realized something, and looked in the direction of Li Jiang, the deposed emperor just now.

Sure enough, they saw the guards who surrounded the imperial forest and saw the anomaly on the side of the empress, and rushed to rescue them one after another, but the few remaining guards couldn't stop Li Jiang at all. The road leading to the sleeping hall was originally adjacent. The high wall behind the Tai Chi Palace, taking advantage of the chaos around just now, Li Jiang, who was restrained everywhere just now, has already come to the high wall at this moment.

And the imperial guards behind him didn't pose any threat at all. Li Jiang lowered his eyes and looked at the cold darkness under the high city wall, but there was no fear in his eyes. Already aware of some clues, there is no need for Gu Jun to test himself at the banquet, he has already prepared the original layout of the eyeliner.

After all, on his birthday last year, as long as he pretended to be sick at Prince Gong's mansion, Gu Jun, the elder sister, was worried about her brother Ye's health, so she would definitely not want to let him go back and forth between the palace and the palace banquet, and he had already stated that he was unwell. The escorting eunuch still tried everything possible to get you into the palace, which was already enough to arouse his vigilance and suspicion.

Li Jiang Mimi rolled his eyes, put his fingers on his lips, and glanced at the dark place under the high palace wall, and then a loud whistle sounded, like a signal for the line of sight. In the originally silent night, the high guard On the fence, he climbed up to a more iron chain in an instant, and then the guard in black covered his face, looked up from bottom to top, and waved towards him.

After everything was ready, Li Jiang rubbed his index finger subconsciously with his thumb, but to his regret, the jade ring finger on it had long since disappeared. There was a trace of sadness in his deep eyes. Before leaving, Li Jiang turned his head to look at Li Che's dying man. In the direction of the struggle with the imperial guards, separated by the courtiers and officials who were dodging in confusion, they met Gu Baozhu's eyes for a moment, then decisively withdrew and turned his head, and leaped deeply towards the high city wall.

As Li Jiang disappeared on the city wall, Gu Baozhu, who was supporting Gu Jun's body, also subconsciously leaned forward for a moment. In the night, there was a cold wind, and there was no trace of that person. Gu Baozhu swallowed and his throat choked. Knowing that she might not be able to get it back tonight, her blood-stained right hand, the wet mud at this moment, has already begun to solidify.

Gu Baozhu's fingers stiffened for a moment, and the sound of hurried footsteps came from his ears. He turned his head and looked at Lu Yi who had rushed over in a panic. Lu Yi was holding a big knife. At this moment, he saw Gu Jun in Gu Baozhu's arms, who was in a coma and looked defeated , his eyes looked suddenly and fiercely at Li Che, who was still dying in white.

Without any hesitation, Lu Yi directly carried Gu Jun away, and yelled at Fu Sinian, who was wearing a brocade-clothed guard beside him.

"Quick! Pass the imperial physician into His Majesty's bedroom—"

Lu Yi glanced across the group of panicked courtiers and relatives, his expression as cold as a knife.

"Block the news, please go to the Xingqing Hall, everyone, no one is allowed to leave until His Majesty wakes up—"

There was some resistance at first, but after seeing Lu Yisen's cold gaze, he fell silent instantly.

You know, the Jinyiwei group not only have flying fish suits and Xiuchun knives, but also the Beizhen Fusi who is independent from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment and can torture criminals alone. Lost half life.

"As for him—"

Lu Yi's eyes turned slightly, the corners of his eyes were muddy and red, and he looked at Li Che who was surrounded by the crowd. His eyes were full of bloodthirsty murderous intent. His eyes were like the cold-faced king of Hades, and the courtiers and relatives behind him shuddered. Trembling, secretly glad that he was honest enough just now.

Li Che propped himself up, the bloodstains on his white clothes were stained with knife cuts, and after noticing Lu Yi's gaze, he also looked at him without dodging or avoiding, with a stubbornness that would not give in, those deer eyes that were originally thought to be clear and clean, Showing mocking disdain, his eyes moved down, and when he saw Gu Jun with pale lips in Lu Yi's arms, he staggered and closed his eyes to cover all the guilt and struggle in his eyes.

Seeing that Li Che dared to show such a guilty expression, Lu Yi felt angry all over his body, so he wanted to pull out the scabbard at his waist, and let this ungrateful beast see blood and seal his throat to avenge Gu Jun, but at this time, his right arm was shot Stopped, and glanced at Fu Sinian who was earnestly beside him, Lu Yi's Adam's apple rolled.
