Chapter 400 Suspicion
Chongyan was wearing his middle clothes. After washing, he picked up the water basin and was about to go out, "I'll pour the water out and get you another basin."

Li Qing originally wanted to say that he could come by himself, but seeing him like this, he didn't stop him, but went into the house and took off his outer robe.

There is only one bed in the room, and the two of them will inevitably sleep on the same bed, but they are both men, so there is nothing wrong with it, but Li Qing has a thought in his heart, when the two are lying on the bed together, he unexpectedly I was a little nervous and my breathing became short of breath.

Chongyan didn't know anything about this, he kept in mind Shangyue's instructions to rest well and recharge his spirits, so he fell asleep after lying down for a while.

Li Qing heard Chongyan's long and steady breathing coming from the direction of the bed, and some restlessness in his heart calmed down.

He turned sideways, propped his chin on his elbows, his dark eyes, in the darkness, landed on Chongyan Junxiu's face accurately.

He just looked at him silently for a long time.

In the darkness, he heard a faint sigh.

He withdrew his gaze and lay down again, but his mind was full of Chongyan's handsome and shy face.

The two of them were so close at this moment, which made him very happy for a while, but he didn't have any blasphemous thoughts.

He thought, if he could be so close to Chongyan all the time, his heart would be enough.

The next day.

Everyone set off again.

Due to the change in the inn yesterday, everyone was more vigilant.

Li Qing drove his horse up to an unattractive guard.

The guard glanced at him and ignored him. Just as he was about to ride his horse forward, Li Qing's low voice came from behind, "Who are you?"

"Captain Li, what do you mean by that?" The guard looked at Li Qing in surprise.

Li Qing curled his lower lip, and asked back: "Yesterday, how did you notice that the proprietress was different?"

"This subordinate doesn't understand what the captain means." The guard frowned, puzzled.

"Still pretending!" Li Qing sneered, "If you hadn't found out that the proprietress is fake, and accidentally bumped into her, maybe we were all recruited yesterday. Don't you want to take such a big credit?"

The guard said helplessly: "It's not the subordinate's credit, it's Captain Li who has the sharp eyesight to see through the proprietress, and then arranged meticulously to let those killers fall into the trap, otherwise, he wouldn't have raped them all so easily." It's all thanks to Captain Li."

Li Qing had been suspicious of him a long time ago, but he didn't do them any harm, so he tolerated it.

This person is by no means as simple as an ordinary guard, but the guards of the palace are all under his command. When did this person sneak in?
While he was pondering, the guard said: "Captain Li, you don't have to worry too much, this subordinate will never do harm to the princess, and this subordinate was personally appointed by His Highness to protect the princess."

Hearing this, Li Qing understood slightly, staring at the guard's unassuming appearance, suddenly said: "Are you a secret guard?"

The guard paused, then said: "Yes, and no."

Li Qing frowned, what do you mean?

The guards bypassed him and chased the carriage ahead.

imperial capital.

Chaoyang County Lord's Mansion.

"By heaven's blessing, the emperor's imperial edict said: Here is Gu's family, who is gentle, dignified, diligent and obedient, who will be conferred the title of Princess Zhaoyi. She will marry the Fourth Prince of the East, the Canglang King, as his concubine on a certain day. Hereby!"

After the eunuch from the palace announced the imperial edict, he looked at Gu An who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Princess Zhaoyi, accept the edict."

Gu An didn't have a hint of joy, and accepted the imperial edict in a slumped manner. In the end, she didn't even hear what the eunuch said. Holding the imperial edict, she fell to the ground in a daze.

Seeing her like this, Huiru had no choice but to take a bag of silver and stuff it into the eunuch's hand, and then personally sent the eunuch out of Chaoyang County Lord's Mansion.

Standing at the gate, Huiru felt a chill in her heart when she saw the heavily guarded Tie Jun outside.

After all, in the paddock, what did the princess do to offend the regent?
For some unknown reason, Gu An didn't take her there this autumn hunt, but told her to stay in the mansion and not go anywhere.

In the past few days, she didn't have to serve Gu An, and it was rare for her to live a few days of quietness, but as soon as Gu An came back, this quietness was gone, she sighed, turned around and walked in resignedly.

Not long after, people from the Ministry of Rites brought a lot of things, saying they were for Princess Zhaoyi and her relatives.

As soon as everyone left, Gu An swept everything on the table to the ground.

This was more than that, she grabbed a handful of needles, and then stabbed the maid beside her.

The maid screamed in pain, and the depression in her heart dissipated a lot.

"Get out, you all get out!"

Gu An vented, and threw all the things that could be smashed on the table on the servant girl.

After everyone went out, she sat down on the chair, but the resentment in her heart was endless.

Especially when thinking about the day in Xiyuan, she had calculated well, and almost ruined Situ Shangyue, but it turned out that damn Du Ruo'e ran to King Huaiyang's bed by herself, disrupting her plan Not to mention, the elder brother Wang saw through her tricks.

Since Xiyuan passed out that day, she has been ill.

After finally returning to the imperial capital, the elder brother ordered someone to take care of the entire princess mansion, and no one from the princess mansion could leave.

She just wanted to ask Uncle Huang to save her, but there was no way out, but what was waiting today was Uncle Huang's canonization and his will to marry her to Donglin at a certain date.

She sneered twice, and sealed the princess, so what?She didn't want to marry Dong Lin, marry Dong Lin Yi.

At this time, Huiru came in, saw the mess on the ground, and silently squatted down to clean it up.

Gu An squinted at her, the more he looked at her, the more comfortable he felt.

She used to hate Huiru very much, even if she is a half-brother, so what, Huiru's biological mother is just a nameless lowly maidservant.

If her mother hadn't been kind, her father would have ordered her to be drowned when Huiru was born.

Huiru's biological mother, grateful for her mother's kindness to Huiru's life, has always taught Huiru to serve her and be loyal to her all her life.

But she has never looked at her directly. In her eyes, Huiru is like a dog.

She pointed east, but Huiru could not go west.

"Huiru, haven't I already said that you don't want to do these rough jobs, what if you cut your hands?" Gu An was uncharacteristically, her voice was exceptionally soft, and she even got up and walked away. When he reached Huiru's side, he pulled her up.

Huiru kept her face down, not happy with her sudden gentleness.

She has been with Gu An since she was a child and grew up with her. Naturally, she knows what Gu An is thinking, but so what if she knows?Her life has always been given by Gu An's mother, if she wants to ask herself to die, she has no choice.

"Okay, go ask Steward Xu to come in." Gu An ordered.

"Yes." Huiru stepped back in response.
