Chapter 312

Gu Peiqing's eyes fell on the rabbit for a long time, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes - the jade pendant was carved and sent to Er Yatou on her tenth birthday.

And this thing, being able to be in the hands of the masked woman, shows that the other party is Er Yatou's confidant.

"Are you from the second girl?"

The masked woman nodded: "Yes, the master asked me to secretly follow and protect the master. He also asked me to reveal my identity at an appropriate time."

in due course.

Gu Peiqing caught the word right away. This woman had appeared before, but she didn't reveal her identity, which meant that the time was not suitable.

He had a clear understanding in his heart: "Does the second girl have something for you to give to me?"

"Yes." Xiaobei nodded, and said softly: "Master once ordered that if the red knot appears, let the servant girl tell you what we have recently investigated."

"The first one is the identities of those assassins. The first time the assassins belonged to the Dawan faction, the second time they were the nails of King Duan, and the third time they were from Yingge and King Duan."

It was probably the jade carving, which aroused Gu Peiqing's grief. Although the news from the woman was full of conflicts, he was calm.

After waiting for a while, before Gu Peiqing asked, Bei could only look at Ning Yi.

Ning Yi understood instantly, and asked, "Who is the Shadow Pavilion? This is the first time I've heard of it."

Bei's heart relaxed slightly, and hurriedly said: "The Shadow Pavilion is the secret guard camp hidden by Emperor Qinghe, and he only obeys Emperor Qinghe's orders."

Gu Peiqing knew more: "The first Shadow Pavilion owner was Princess Hailing, but after Princess Hailing married Queen Hailing, the owner of the pavilion was passed on to Emperor Qinghe's confidants."

Bei was keenly aware of Gu Peiqing's address to Emperor Qinghe.

If she remembered correctly, this person had always addressed him as His Majesty before, but now he directly addresses him as Emperor Qinghe.

"The master is right." Bei nodded and nodded: "The imperial envoy gave the master the order for the first time, but the master refused, and the imperial envoy decided to agree after repeating the oral order of Emperor Qinghe."

"The master's previous evasion has already made the suspicious emperor feel that the master's mercenaries are self-respecting and no longer loyal. Under such circumstances, the emperor can only detain the wife and the eldest son to ensure that the master will go back. And if What will happen when the master returns..." At this point, Bei stopped, but turned his gaze to the wound on Gu Peiqing's body.

"The person who can dispatch the Shadow Pavilion has traveled thousands of miles to assassinate, and when he returns to Shangjing, he will be close at hand, so what is he thinking..."

"Ning Yi." Gu Peiqing scolded in a low voice, stopping what Ning Yi said.

Ning Yi saw that his adoptive father understood everything, so he stopped talking.

"Master, this is what the master asked the maid to hand over to you." Bei stepped forward and handed over a kit: "Second Miss once said that if Dazhao is safe and sound, if the master is virtuous. Gu Jiaerlang will die in battle, and he will have no regrets." But if it is... I wish the Gu family is safe, and may the master and wife be healthy and happy."

Gu Peiqing's eyes turned red instantly.

His second girl.

He still remembered how little the second girl was when she was born.

Now the yin and yang are separated.

There will never be a day to meet.

"I see." Gu Peiqing's voice was hoarse, as if he had squeezed it out, and he opened the kit.

That night, when the crown prince came again to try to persuade Gu Peiqing, he was silent for a while.

"Your Highness, the old minister still disagrees with you doing this."

The prince's face changed instantly, but seeing the other party's hesitant expression, his heart moved slightly, and he said, "Gu Shuai, don't worry, Gu is not someone who waits to make fun of his own life. Gu has sent a letter to the frontier, and he has transferred 500 people, when they arrive tomorrow morning, they will go with Gu.”

Gu Peiqing was slightly stunned: "Your Highness has already made a plan, so the old minister will stop talking. Tomorrow, we will...cough cough..."

Halfway through the speech, Gu Peiqing couldn't help coughing loudly, her complexion was as pale as paper, and her whole body was even more precarious, about to collapse.

A trace of disgust flashed in the prince's eyes.

This Gu Shuai, who commanded the three armies, is now weak and weak, and he is also one of those people who have no resistance.

"No, no, no. Gu Shuai, you are seriously injured, the most important thing now is to recuperate your body. I feel that you can stay here."

"How can this be done, the old minister should escort you..." Gu Peiqing stood up excitedly, but he didn't want to, his body is too weak now, just a simple movement, the whole body swayed and fell down.

The prince was startled, and hurriedly supported the other party.

After the doctor came over and said that Gu Shuai would have to stay in bed for half a month to recuperate, the crown prince immediately said: "Gu Shuai, I order you to stay in Sankou Town to recuperate, and leave for Beijing after your recovery."

"Your Highness." Gu Peiqing lay on the bed with a tangled expression, and finally sighed: "The old minister takes orders."

Seeing that the other party had to agree, the prince only felt refreshed.

"Okay, that Gu is leaving first, you take care of your wounds."

"Your Highness, the old minister has one more request." Gu Peiqing said in a muffled voice.

"You talk first." The prince didn't agree immediately, but looked at it carefully.

Gu Peiqing lowered his head: "The old minister is worried about your safety, Your Highness. The old minister hopes that you can bring Ning Yi and others. They are the elite of the veteran's subordinates, and their martial arts can still be eye-catching. The old minister can't protect His Highness. I only hope that they can send Useful."

The prince has a good sense of Ning Yi and the others, and he also knows the skills of those people, so naturally he will not refuse the force sent over, and immediately nodded in agreement.

After the prince left, Gu Peiqing also raised his head, his face was calm, and he was not a little bit depressed because he couldn't escort the prince.

Royal study.

After hearing the report from the spies, Emperor Qinghe frowned: "Gu Shuai was seriously injured in order to protect the crown prince, so he can only rest in bed?"

"Yes, it is said that the assassin's knife was smeared with poison. If he hadn't just brought the detoxification pill, he would have died."

When Emperor Qinghe heard this, his eyes immediately became complicated.

He suspected that Gu Peiqing would be arrogant and arrogant because of the military power in his hands, and he had a different heart, but now that he heard that the other party almost died, he couldn't bear it.

After all, Gu Peiqing has been loyal all these years, and his youngest daughter even died for the country.

Emperor Qinghe sighed heavily, and said in his heart, for the sake of the relationship between the monarch and his ministers for so many years, he would spare Gu's life, but the Gu family's power is indeed too powerful, so it needs to be suppressed.

Thinking of this, he ordered a doctor Wang who had a good reputation in recuperating the body, and asked him to go to Sankou County to treat Gu Peiqing.

Then he thought that Ding Gui, whom he sent to take over the military power of Feiyun City, should not be far from the county seat, so he secretly wrote a letter asking him to visit his doctor.

If he just pretended to be sick and didn't want to come back, he would let Gu Peiqing really die of illness.
