beauty heart thorn

Chapter 78
Back in the garden, Gu Mingzhu felt a little regretful.

Obviously the two haven't seen each other for several days, and today they finally met and broke up happily. Now the situation is tense, and the next meeting will take a few days.

She ate a few glasses of wine tonight, got a little drunk, ordered someone to call for hot water, and took a bath.

Yueyan knocked on the door, got a response, pushed the door open and entered, holding a tray, said: "Miss, it's time to drink medicine today."

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

Yueyan took the bowl and talked about the business: "Miss, the city is heavily guarded recently, and all forces are secretly acting. I'm afraid..."

Before the words finished, there was a hasty knock on the door outside the house, and Ah San's voice sounded: "Miss, something happened."

Gu Mingzhu stepped out of the bathtub, wiped it off a few times, put on her clothes, and said with her wet hair: "Come in and talk."

Ah San pushed the door in and said: "Miss, something happened in the East Palace. I just got the news. Half an hour ago, the Crown Prince died of illness, and the Crown Princess also followed."

Yueyan was handing Gu Mingzhu a dry towel, when she heard the words both turned her head, Gu Mingzhu said: "The crown prince died of illness?"

"Master Song ordered people to send the news, and the news should spread throughout Jiangling City in a short time. Master Song also asked me to tell the young lady that it is not a peaceful night, so that the eldest son must rush back to the palace now."

If such a major event happened in the palace, my brother should be on duty.

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

Ah San immediately went to prepare.

Gu Mingzhu sat down at the table: "Once the crown prince dies, the battle for the top spot in the East Palace will officially begin."

But Yueyan thought deeper than her, and said, "Miss, I think there are other meanings in Mr. Song's words."

Gu Mingzhu frowned: "I also think that he is hinting at something, but he is afraid that the news will leak out, so he dare not be blatant."

"It's not peaceful tonight...it's not peaceful tonight..." Gu Mingzhu murmured and repeated this sentence: "It's really not peaceful tonight, Thirteenth Garden...Prince...Qi Feng..."

"Qi Feng!" The two said in unison.

Yue Yan said: "I'm afraid that the news of the crown prince's death will also reach Li Sui's ears. Tonight, all the generals of the Imperial Forest Army will go to the Thirteen Gardens. If..."

Gu Mingzhu stood up abruptly, with blood in her eyes: "Li Sui, don't you want to rebel tonight?"

Yueyan said: "The crown prince died of illness, the emperor was seriously ill and fell into a coma, and the chief generals of the forbidden army all got drunk and returned home. He took advantage of the right time and place."

Gu Mingzhu rolled up her long hair, walked out of the room with Yueyan, and said, "I'll go to the Thirteenth Garden to talk to my brother about this in person, you go and inform Chu Qiu and them, pay attention to the movement of the palace, and report back immediately if there is any change."

"Yes."

The night wind was bleak.

When Gu Mingzhu arrived at the Thirteenth Garden, Chu Xiao and his elder brother were having a good drink in the lobby. In the huge lobby, in the middle of the night, only the two of them were left, along with the opera singers on stage.

Gu Mingzhu supported Gu Xiurong, and said to Chu Xiao who was seated opposite him: "Master Chu, it is midnight, my brother has something to do tomorrow, so I will take him away first."

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

Gu Mingzhu sideways avoided, and sneered: "Master Chu? What do you mean?"

Chu Xiao said: "Miss Gu, Brother Xiu Rong and I haven't had enough of our drinks yet..."

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

She said that she was about to leave, but Chu Xiao was ordered, how could she let her take Gu Xiurong away, stretched out her hand to grab it, and said in her mouth: "Girl, you..."

"Go away!" Gu Mingzhu waved him away with his backhand.

Chu Xiao was so drunk that he staggered and almost lost his footing. 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 every possible way to stop her had already explained everything.

Ge Baoxue has resigned. Apart from the emperor, his elder brother is now the first commander of the [-] Imperial Forest Army. If Li Sui is determined to usurp the throne tonight, and his elder brother dies drunk here tonight, tomorrow morning, his elder brother is not from Li Sui. You have to become a follower.

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

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

Gu Mingzhu suddenly sneered, looked at him, and said, "You want to drag my brother into this vortex and drag him into the water. You are ordered to watch him tonight, but have you ever thought that next year today, maybe you will be killed?" It's your memorial day."

She tore off the disguised face, looked gloomy, looked at Gu Xiurong who had passed away from drunk, and smiled.

Chu Xiao suddenly felt as if he was facing an enemy: "You...you..."

Gu Mingzhu seemed to be a different person suddenly.

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

She helped Gu Xiurong to sit down at the table, and said, "Herring!"

Two people suddenly appeared beside the railing on the second floor.

"herring."

"Qing Qi."

"I've seen Miss."

Herring flew down and landed lightly beside Gu Mingzhu.

Such effort...

Chu Xiao's complexion became ugly in an instant: "You actually... actually... hide it! We all lost sight of it, and we didn't expect to fall into your hands tonight!"

Gu Mingzhu took the knife from Herring with one hand, she was not in a hurry, but her eyes were a little mad, the blade slashed across the delicate back of her hand, and slowly pointed at Chu Xiao: "It's a pity, God is jealous of talents, I miss you when you are young If you can easily achieve the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, if you continue like this, you will become a pivotal figure in the court in a few years, but you died here tonight..."

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

Gu Mingzhu laughed, and mocked her eyes: "It's so naive, don't you know?"

what do you know?
Chu Xiao glared.

Gu Mingzhu said slowly: "I killed the official ordered by the court..."

Chu Xiaofa ruthlessly pulled out the dagger in his sleeve, and swiftly rushed towards Gu Mingzhu.

But not long ago, the gentle girl who was still smiling and saying that she had seen all the adults, held a murderous knife eeriely, and moved faster than him. She grabbed Chu Xiao's dagger in an instant, and her wrist hurt. He even Before he could react, the long knife pierced his chest mercilessly.

Gu Mingzhu's breath sprayed against Chu Xiao's ear: "You had a chance to survive, if you want to blame, you can blame it. You followed the wrong person. When you arrive in the underworld, remember to keep your eyes open."

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

She suddenly didn't realize it, and said: "Clean up the corpse, if you ask, just say you don't know."

"Yes."

Gu Xiurong was taken back to the mansion by Gu Mingzhu, and he vomited all over the floor in a daze. Gu Mingzhu ordered someone to cook a hangover soup, but he fell asleep and couldn't wake up.

Must have been drugged.

Gu Mingzhu thought to herself.

She sat for a while, then went out again, and met Yue Yan who had just come back at the door: "Miss, Li Sui really wants to rebel, he controls the four gates in the palace in the name of the prince, and now the palace gates are all his men .”

Gu Mingzhu thought for a while and asked, "What about Xu Jue? Have you heard the news yet?"

Yue Yan looked hesitant.

Gu Mingzhu said: "There is something to talk about."

Yue Yan became ruthless, and said: "Senior Xu also had an accident. I just came back from the residence. Not long ago, when Mr. Song delivered the letter, the son had already left Jiangling City."

Gu Mingzhu was startled: "Out of the city? Where? He was ordered to go to Beijing. If there is no order, he is not allowed to leave Beijing casually!"

Yue Yan's eyes darkened, and he said, "I just got the news that King Dingbei...is gone."

　It's on sale tomorrow.

　　The double update will start tomorrow.
