Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 327 How To
After a few days in the hospital, Gu Sheng finally returned to the general's mansion, lying on her bed, she sighed contentedly.

Outside the door, there was a knock on the door, and Gu Sheng responded quickly, watching the door open, and Shen Xiao came in from the door.

The ones who went to pick up Gu Sheng were the soldiers of the mansion. Shen Xiao was unable to pick up Gu Sheng himself because of something else.

Now that I'm done with my work, I heard that Gu Sheng has come back, so I come over to have a look at her.

"How's the injury?" Shen Xiao asked with concern after opening the door.

"It's much better." After recuperating for a few days, the place where the injury was injured before has probably begun to grow flesh, and I always feel a little itchy, but the doctor said that even the itching must be endured, otherwise it will leave scars.

Although it was on the stomach, it was not good-looking after all, so she could only bear it.

"I wanted to pick you up in person, but I had something to deal with, so I sent someone else to go." Seeing Gu Sheng, Shen Xiao spoke, and when he finished speaking, his expression froze, a little uncomfortable.

Talking like this always feels like confessing to her. I didn't feel anything before, but now knowing that she is a woman, it seems particularly awkward.

"Since the general is busy, he still has to focus on official duties. The humble position is much better. Even if you come back by yourself, it will be fine."

Gu Sheng didn't know yet, but Shen Xiao already knew that she was a woman, and she didn't even notice that her 'Adam's apple' was gone.

"Speaking of which, do you have a clue about that matter?" A few days have passed since they were ambushed. After she woke up, Shen Xiao said that he would investigate that matter. It's time to start looking.

"I have some clues, but I didn't expect that there are still remnants of the Chu family in the border. It must be the people of the Chu family who ambushed us before."

Playing with the emperor before, made the Chu family think that everything was under control. When the time was right, he came back with someone to kill, got rid of the Chu family who were the generals, and cleaned up the entire northwest border.

I thought it had been cleaned up, but I didn't think that there were still omissions. It seems that the Chu family has left a lot of influence after so many years.

"The Chu family?" Gu Sheng repeated, and the eyes of the leader in black appeared before her eyes again, and a light flashed in her mind.

"I know who the leading man in black is. I didn't expect them to dare to come to the northwest border. What is their purpose?"

Gu Sheng frowned, thinking carefully. Hearing what she said, Shen Xiao hurriedly asked a few questions.

"Before I was ambushed by those men in black, I always felt that the leading man in black looked familiar. I've been thinking about it for the past few days, but I didn't think of anything. I heard you mention the Chu family just now, and I finally remembered it."

"The leading man in black is none other than the Sixth Prince Xuanyuanqi!"

The reason why he looks familiar is because his eyes are somewhat similar to those of the emperor.

Gu Sheng used to be an empress, had met Xuanyuan Qi, and was more familiar with the emperor. He didn't realize it at the time because he covered his face, and she didn't expect that Xuanyuan Qi would appear here.

"It's normal for them to come to you for revenge after you killed the members of the Chu family. It would be great if they could win the Northwest Border Pass because of this, but he didn't expect that I still have a backup."

For a moment, Gu Sheng forgot to call himself a humble job, but Shen Xiao didn't care, and just listened carefully.

"How are you sure that that person is Xuanyuanqi?" After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Shen Xiao asked her.

"His eyes, at that time, I thought his eyes were a bit familiar. I have been thinking about this question for the past few days, until today, after listening to your words, I finally remembered it."

"Xuanyuanqi's eyes are very similar to the emperor's. They are brothers after all. If you hadn't said that this incident is related to the Chu family, I wouldn't have thought of it."

"Thinking about it carefully, his voice is also very familiar. He must be Xuanyuan Qi, there is no mistake. When the emperor brought people to escort him back to Beijing, he found an opportunity to run away."

Gu Sheng knew about these things, because at that time, she hadn't left the capital, and the emperor had told her about it when he came back, so she knew about it.

Shen Xiao looked at Gu Sheng, he could tell that she knew many things.

Before, he thought that although Gu Sheng had the emperor's letter, he had nothing to do with the royal family. At most, she was a child of an aristocratic family, but listening to him now, she knew far more than he knew, and even what she knew was Very confidential matter.

She is a woman, and knowing so many things, Gu Sheng became more and more at a loss for her all of a sudden. He guessed her identity, but he had no clue.

Gu Sheng didn't know, at this moment, Shen Xiao's thoughts turned around a lot. Looking at Shen Xiao, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have said a little too much.

"General..." Gu Sheng opened his mouth tentatively, wanting to explain.

"You know a lot about these things. Is it because you are from the capital?"

Shen Xiao looked at her, his voice seemed very gentle, Gu Sheng bit his lip, hesitating.

Shen Xiao didn't rush her, but just waited quietly. He thought that if Gu Sheng told her, no matter what her identity was, he would keep it a secret for her.

If you don't tell me... I can only ask the emperor, presumably, the emperor knows all about it.

But he didn't want to do that. Gu Sheng's status, he still wanted to hear from Gu Sheng himself.

"Humble job... I am indeed from the capital, but my true identity cannot be revealed, even if you write to ask the emperor, it is the same, but don't worry, I am definitely someone you can trust."

Finally, Gu Sheng spoke, she seemed to know what Shen Xiao was thinking, and she was talking to him.

"This is the western border gate after all. You should know that I will not leave an unknown person." After hearing Gu Sheng's words, Shen Xiao's expression became serious.

"I..." Gu Sheng looked at him, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. Shen Xiao looked at her until she looked away.

"Presumably, you've heard of the Gu family, right? The Gu family that has been destroyed." She didn't talk about her identity, but she could talk about her family.

"The Gu family? The empress's mother's family?" Shen Xiao hesitated for a moment before responding to her.

"Well, it's the Gu family. I'm a member of the Gu family. I can only tell you this. You must know that almost all of the Gu family died on the battlefield. I'm a member of the Gu family. I will never betray Daxing."

"But, isn't Queen Gu the only one left in the Gu family? Are you... her sister?"

Shen Xiao was full of doubts. He didn't know much about the Gu family, but he knew that there was only Queen Gu left in the Gu family.

For so many years, she has managed the harem for the emperor and suppressed the Chu family's daughter, saving the emperor a lot of worry.

Looking at the doubts on Shen Xiao's face, Gu Sheng smiled and said, "Just pretend that I am Queen Gu's younger sister. Anyway, we are very close, and it's normal if you don't know me."
