Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 145 Sooner or later, everything will be over
  When the two returned to the palace, everything remained normal. Thanks to Hu Meiren's previous instructions, the maids and slaves in the palace did not notice that their master had disappeared mysteriously for a while.

Gu Xun let go of his hand, took a few steps back, and put some distance between himself and Hu Meiren, but did not leave directly.

He still had something to ask Hu Meiren.

Seeing that he hadn't left, Hu Meiren didn't say anything. She just lit all the candles in the bedroom to make the dark room glow.

After lighting the lamp, Hu Meiren didn't know what she was thinking. After some hesitation, she took off her outer skirt again, revealing her long purple bellyband, and put on a silk tulle skirt outside. She sat back on her On the soft couch, he asked Gu Xun in a soft tone:

"Is there anything else, sir?"

Gu Xun didn't know what to say to this, he felt that this girl was a little...hungry!

Han Wangan is really a sinner. An old man who is not good at all wants to keep so many young girls in their prime of life (thirties are considered young) and make them widows. It's so hard for them all...

Madam Mingzhu is like this, and so is Hu Meiren.

Forget it, it has nothing to do with him.

Gu Shaoxia is not going to be the old man next door, nor is he interested in helping others comfort the empty, lonely and cold little wife.

"I want to know why you thought I was someone sent by Nightfall when you first came up?"

Hu Meiren has been in the palace for so many years, so she doesn't know that her ugly brother-in-law is the night man, right? Why did she think that people in the night were looking for her after learning that her sister had died mysteriously?
  This question is very simple. Hu Meiren did not hide it and said bluntly:
  "Because not long before your husband arrived, I received a warning from Madam Mingzhu."

"She warned me not to pursue my sister's affairs, otherwise something bad would happen to me too."

It turned out that Mrs. Mingzhu's behavior aroused Hu Meiren's vigilance.

Gu Xun didn't know whether Ji Wuye asked her to do this, or...she made her own decision.

I feel it should be the latter. Ji Wuye doesn't seem to be a warm-hearted person. When they first negotiated the conditions, he said that they didn't need to deal with the problems in the palace.

So, this woman dares to jump out and jump around again?
  Wasn't the warning given to the entire night last time enough?

"That's it... I understand. Thank you for telling me, beauty." Gu Xun replied casually, wanting to talk to her about revenge.

However, Hu Meiren spoke first:

"gentlemen……"

"what happened?"

A seductive smile appeared on Hu Meiren's face, and her soft tone became more and more charming:
  "It's nothing. I just want to say that I have no repayment for my great kindness. If my husband... has any need in the future, I will never refuse."

"Ha!" Gu Xun pursed his lips and smiled. He didn't directly say "I'm helping, it has nothing to do with you" like he did to Mrs. Hu, which was too embarrassing.

"Then...thank you, beauty."

Hu Meiren also looked at Gu Xun with a faint smile.

The reason why she behaved like this was that on the one hand, she was rushing on the road and was a little restless and uncontrollable. On the other hand, she was used to it. She was used to using this kind of flattery to deal with men, especially those in power.

In fact, only two people were treated like this, Han Wangan and Gu Xun.

Other men have to bow and say hello when they see her, but they don't have this qualification.

Although Gu Xun didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, being a married woman...he really didn't like this, so he had to talk about business first, and other things...we would discuss it later.

"It's very late at night now. Gu will not delay the beauty's rest. I will leave after saying the last thing."

Seeing that he didn't react like a normal man, Hu Meiren felt a little unmotivated. She gathered up her gauze skirt and asked lazily:
  "What else do you want to say, sir?"

Gu Xun stood not far away, watching Hu Meiren's performance, and said unhurriedly:

"About revenge."

"Liu Yi doesn't need you to deal with him."

As soon as she heard about the enemy who killed her entire family, Hu Meiren's thoughts disappeared and she hurriedly asked: "Why?"

"Nongyu will personally deal with his father-killing enemy."

"Nong Yu? Isn't she... just a Qin Ji? How to take revenge?" Hu Meiren was a little surprised.

When the two of them were chatting before, Nongyu naturally mentioned her identity - Qin Ji from Zilanxuan, who was of course only a performer.

Even so, Hu Meiren was determined to redeem Nongyu's life. After all, how could she see her own niece staying at Fengyue's place, even if she didn't accept guests?
  However, Nongyu said that she was very free in Zilanxuan. The so-called reception of guests was entirely at her own initiative and not at Zinu's request. In addition, Zinu persuaded Nongyu that it was not appropriate to reveal her life experience at this time. Hu Meiren then Give up.

"You don't have to worry about that. Just know that sooner or later she will kill her enemy with her own hands."

Hu Meiren showed a rare angry smile.

Are you kidding, I don’t have to worry? I'm my niece, you say I don't need to worry?

"What do you want Nong Yu to do?" Hu Meiren asked.

"We don't want her to do anything. This is her own choice." Gu Xun spread his hands and said that I was also helpless.

"But don't worry, for now, her relationship with us is closer than that with you and your sister. Zi Nu and I will never let her be harmed in the slightest."

Although they were reassuring words, Hu Meiren only felt heartbroken when she heard them, but she had to admit that now... Nong Yu was indeed closer to them.

It hurts even more.

Although Hu Meiren believed in Gu Xun's words, she still refused to give up:
  "No need. I can deal with a mere Zuo Sima myself. There is no need to take risks with Nong Yu."

"Of course you can deal with Zuo Sima." Gu Xun raised his hand, "But you can't deal with Ji Wuye and Ye Mu. Needless to say, you can't deal with them from far away. Just Mrs. Mingzhu's level will be difficult for you."

"..."

Hu Meiren was silent for a while.

She knew what Gu Xun said was true.

Everyone in the court knew that Mrs. Mingzhu and Hu Meiren were the most favored by King An of Han, and there were even rumors that the two were fighting. But in fact, Hu Meiren knew very well that in terms of favor, he was not as good as Mrs. Mingzhu.

She didn't understand why, but that was the fact. Between her and Mingzhu, Han Wangan almost always preferred the latter.

Occasionally Hu Meiren would have the upper hand, but she knew in her heart that this was the result of Mingzhu's deliberate indulgence.

After a moment of silence, Hu Meiren said forcefully:
  "Then there's no need for a junior like Nongyu to take risks. I have my own way."

Gu Xun did not continue to persuade. It was difficult to change Hu Meiren's mind for a while, and he was too lazy to say more. Anyway, with Mrs. Mingzhu here, Hu Meiren could not do anything for a while.

"I've said everything I need to say, and that's it."

Gu Xun said his last words, turned around and left.

Hu Meiren asked one last question:
  "You will protect Nongyu, right?"

Gu Xun didn't answer. He raised his hand and waved it. The meaning was very clear. Isn't that nonsense?

Hu Meiren felt a little relieved.

Hu Meiren was also really concerned about this niece whom she had just met.

Gu Xun came out of Hu Meiren's bedroom, and instead of leaving the palace directly, he went to Mingxiang Palace.

Yes, if you break into the palace of King Han's two favorite concubines in one night, King Han's hat will be worn sooner or later!

　It's a little late, sorry.
