Listening to the slightly erratic breathing behind him, Qiao Jinhuan curled his lips calmly.
After cleaning up, she got up and walked to Gu Changsheng's bedside, deliberately reaching out to pluck his eyelashes. Her round fingertips roamed over his face, as if she were touching some rare treasure, cautiously and greedily.
Gu Changsheng subconsciously slowed down his breathing, not wanting Qiao Jinhuan to notice that he was still awake.
"It's getting late, Your Highness, I should go back."
Qiao Jinhuan whispered, "A few days have passed and I miss His Highness very much. I don't know when we will see you next~"
The regret and loss in her tone made Gu Changsheng feel a little worried for no reason.
But after a while, Qiao Jinhuan left.
When leaving, she also took the torn inner garment of the dress with her, and deliberately called the shadow guard. She stood at the door and loudly said, "Take this dress and burn it. Don't disturb His Highness. Leave it in the house."
There are also some blood stains, please remember to clean them up."
"yes."
The shadow guard agreed immediately, and after Qiao Jinhuan left, he was going to go into the house to get rid of the blood.
As soon as they entered, they saw Gu Changsheng sitting on the bed with a frown on his face. He didn't know how long he had been awake.
"Tai, please see His Highness the Crown Prince."
The shadow guard was very confused. How could the prince wake up after drinking his drug?
Gu Changsheng glanced at him and said, "Show me the clothes in your hand."
ah?
The shadow guard looked confused, but still obeyed the order and handed the inner coat to Gu Changsheng.
When he unfolded the inner garment, he saw that it was indeed his size, exactly. Moreover, the cuffs of the inner garment were embroidered with dragon patterns, which was his usual style, and the stitching was fine, which showed that it was carefully crafted.
It's just that the clothes seemed to have been attacked. They were torn several times and were even stained with blood.
Gu Changsheng's heart suddenly became heavy.
He stroked the clothes with his fingers, and his gaze became deeper and deeper. What Qiao Jinhuan gave him was not just a piece of clothing, it was her hidden heart without asking for anything in return.
In fact, he didn't even know what Qiao Jinhuan had done when the plan had progressed to this point. How much effort had he made?
The two Taoist priests who deceived the father, his deposed imperial brothers...
Suddenly, Gu Changsheng's eyes flashed.
He suddenly thought of something. Ever since Qiao Jinhuan came to him, there had never been any trouble with his father.
Among them, how many schemes did Qiao Jinhuan help him block?
After a long while, Gu Changsheng let out a long sigh - it seemed that he owed her too much~
But if you ask Qiao Jinhuan this question, she will definitely roll her eyes.
nonsense.
The boss of the intelligence department has lurked around you as his personal slave, why would the emperor bother to find someone to assassinate you? The reason why he didn't move during those three years was not because the emperor's own professional skills in handling government affairs were too poor and he needed someone in front.
Hold on.
I have to say, this is really a wonderful misunderstanding.
Qiao Jinhuan is naturally happy to see this happen.
She slowly returned to the palace and delivered the antidote to Xing Lu the next day.
The first time Xing Lu got the antidote, he didn't swallow it for himself. Instead, he took it into his alchemy, cut it into pieces, and studied it. In the end, he found that nothing could be found, so he was reluctant to eat it.
.
Then he got up and opened the secret room of the alchemy. There was a person tied up inside. The other person's head was drooping, and he was obviously in a coma.
The first thing Xing Lu did after entering was to untie the iron chain, and the second thing he did was to squat down immediately.
The next second, a pair of long legs swept over his head. If he hadn't squatted quickly and kicked a hole in the wall, he would have been dead if he was kicked.
"You go."
Xing Lu waved his hand, and seeing that the other party seemed unwilling to give up, he continued, "If you touch me again, you will not have a good life next time if you fall into my hands."
In an instant, the other party stopped, "Damn it! Xinglu, you are sick!"
Xing Lu shrugged slightly, "I'm just sick. Shadow, do you know this for the first time?"
That's right, this person is Shadow, the leader of the Shadow Guards. He was kidnapped into the secret room by Xinglan two days ago. Considering that his whereabouts are always uncertain, it is normal for him not to show up for two days. Even Qiao Jinhuan did not guess that he
It fell into Xing Lu's hands.
Shadow said "poof" towards Xinglu.
This bastard suddenly realized something was wrong. He deliberately invited him to drink and drugged the wine. He was accidentally tied up. If Yueyou hadn't been betrayed so quickly, he would probably have experienced this bastard's eighteen ways.
Torture to extract confessions!
"You're still not leaving, do you want me to treat you?"
Xing Lu blinked slightly, looking a little cute.
Shadow trembled in fear, "Let's go now!"
As soon as he reached the door of the secret room, he turned around and asked, "Didn't you get involved with Yue You a long time ago? Why did you come to ask me about her antidote?"
Yeah?
A faint light flashed in Xing Lu's eyes, the corners of his lips were pulled upward, and his handsome face suddenly became sinister, "Guess."
"Guess what."
The shadow turned and walked away.
Xing Lu chuckled behind him, his laughter was as scary as a ghost in the middle of the night. He didn't care about the coming and going of the shadow, and just fiddled with the bottles and jars in his hands.
"If your guess is correct, check his pulse."
Suddenly, a female voice suddenly sounded. Qiao Jinhuan came out from the corner slowly, but Xinglu was not surprised at all. He quickly admitted, "Yes, his poison was suddenly cured. I'm very curious."
"Hey~ I told him not to get in front of you once the poison is gone."
Qiao Jinhuan shook his head slightly with regret.
She has been following Xinglu since she gave him the antidote. She doesn't trust him. If Xinglu makes any move, she can kill him as quickly as possible.
I just didn't expect that if I followed along, I would see such a good show.
"The shadow is just an elm head."
Xing Lu said with a hint of sarcasm.
"How about you take my antidote and help me with something?"
"What's going on?"
Qiao Jinhuan curled her lips meaningfully, lowered her voice and whispered a few words to Xing Lu.
Xing Lu's eyes, which were dull at the beginning, gradually became excited, "Oh, Yue You, you are very brave~ Okay, I will do this. But you have to agree to one condition."
"you say."
"By then, this underground palace will be gone. Even though these dead men took the antidote, they had nowhere to survive. In the end, they were not helping you. They were just turning from darkness to light."
"so what?"
"After leaving the underground palace, I'm going to the Ministry of Punishment."
Qiao Jinhuan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do you want to be an official?"
"I'm not interested in being an official, I just..."
"Do you want to study some torture instruments and punishments openly in the Ministry of Punishments?"
"As expected of you, you really understand me," Xing Lu chuckled and said with unclear meaning, "Other places can't tolerate people like me."
Qiao Jinhuan raised her eyes to look at him, and unexpectedly caught a flash of self-deprecation and disgust in his eyes.
