"Today is the day when the crown prince ascends the throne. Don't Mr. Gu worry about the prince's safety at all? I believe Mr. Gu can't guess that there are some changes in the prince's place. You can still be so calm now. I really don't know what to say that you haven't.
You are heartless, but should I admire you for staying calm in times of danger?"
The female assassin's words were not as sharp as before. In fact, she was curious about why Gu Chengyu was still so calm until now. Did he still have some backup plans in the capital?
Remembering that no news had come from the capital until now, the female assassin couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
"I have too much time to take care of myself now. No matter how anxious I am, there is nothing I can do, so why bother asking for trouble? Besides, His Royal Highness has a lot of troubles, so he may not necessarily fall into the trap of others. Instead of worrying about him, it is better to worry about yourself first.
situation."
Gu Chengyu laughed and shook his head. If the prince really missed the throne, then this female assassin would not be here now.
Now that the dust has settled, there is no need for the female assassin to watch anymore. After all, the situation in the capital has not calmed down yet!
"Lord Gu, I think it's fair, but it's a bit callous to act like this. The prince treats you very well, but you can talk about it so lightly."
The female assassin was a little confused. Didn't she hear that Gu Chengyu valued friendship before? Why did she behave so completely opposite to the previous rumors?
Treating him badly? Gu Chengyu sneered in his heart. Compared with his own efforts, the prince really didn't help him much. He was even worse than the late emperor, but it was neither good nor bad!
In fact, the prince's current temperament has a bit of the emperor's shadow. I believe that it won't be long before the prince will be a Huiming Emperor again.
Gu Chengyu was happy to see the success, but compared to taking advantage of it, he was more annoyed by the prince's indecision.
You will be reused only if you have value. If no one is willing to use you, you should reflect on yourself.
Although the emperor did not trust him before, there were still benefits, but they were mixed with other purposes! Gu Chengyu also wanted such a relationship, where everyone could use each other, which was good.
But don't talk about having a deep relationship with the emperor or having a friendship with the emperor, that's all a fantasy.
The emperor is already suspicious. He doesn't even believe his own mother or the person he sleeps with. Why should he have a heart-to-heart relationship with you?
"Master Gu is self-aware."
While they were talking, some men in black came out of the house, holding dry food in their hands. Gu Chengyu knew at a glance that these people were going to eat. After all, they were not allowed to show their faces, and they had to avoid others when eating dry food.
"Girl, would you like some hot porridge? I have always been sympathetic to girls, and I can't bear to see girls suffer." Gu Chengyu smiled and held up the bowl and handed it to the female assassin.
The female assassin opened her eyes wide when she heard this, and was extremely surprised. She looked at Gu Chengyu several times, and after confirming that this face was Gu Chengyu himself, she screamed that it was impossible.
Gu Chengyu has always abided by etiquette and strict rules, how could he be so frivolous?
Gu Chengyu saw the female assassin's reaction in his eyes, and he had an idea in his mind. It was so unbelievable that she must be someone who knew him well.
What he said just now seemed a bit frivolous to the woman, and was not in line with his past style.
The other party's level of surprise was definitely not the attitude a stranger should have, as if he found his words very unbelievable.
The female assassin stared at Gu Chengyu until Gu Chengyu's hand started to feel sore, but she did not reach out to take it.
"But don't worry, I think there is medicine in this porridge? Then I will eat it first, you can do whatever you want!"
Gu Chengyu retracted his hand and started to drink the porridge.
The female assassin couldn't help but start twitching in her stomach when she smelled the aroma of meat porridge. How could she not be hungry? She just couldn't swallow the pancake that was so hard from the cold.
After all, I have been well-dressed and well-fed since I was a child, so I am naturally very sophisticated in my food.
Ming Mo and the others didn't care what they said, they had already filled a bowl each and started drinking it.
Seeing that the bottom was about to reach the bottom, the female assassin swallowed her saliva, but still did not reach out her hand. Naturally, the other men in black would not act rashly.
"There is some dried meat and rice on the carriage. If you don't mind, take it and cook it yourself!"
The female assassin glanced sideways at Gu Chengyu but did not answer.
Gu Chengyu smiled and didn't care.
"Go and boil some hot water!" After a moment, the female assassin felt that her throat was so dry that smoke was coming out, so she ordered.
Gu Chengyu's eyes flashed, and then he looked at Mingmo and the others.
The firelights held high joined together, illuminating the city gate on the east side like daylight.
"Brother, do you really care about Concubine Jing?" The prince made a gesture, and then soldiers escorted Concubine Jing and appeared in front of Prince Gong.
Prince Gong's heart was agitated, and the corners of his eyes were already moist, but his face remained calm.
"Xian'er, please leave my mother and concubine alone!"
The usually graceful Concubine Jing was in a very embarrassed state at the moment, her meticulous bun became messy, and her hairpin was crumbling. There were tears in her eyes, and she looked at Zhao Xian with a look full of reluctance.
Knowing that Zhao Xian had no way out, she had no intention of continuing to live. Anyway, the emperor had passed away, and a concubine like her could not survive. According to the queen's vicious heart, the fate waiting for her would only be to be buried with him.
Even if the emperor's son has a fiefdom, the queen will not allow her to follow the emperor's son to the fiefdom.
"Concubine!" Prince Gong's heart ached. If his concubine hadn't been unwilling to leave the palace, how could he be threatened by the prince now?
"Prince, when did you learn to behave like this?"
"Brother, aren't you the one who forced me to do this? I'm trying to treat others in my own way. As long as you let the queen mother go, I will let Concubine Jing go."
"I am willing to follow the emperor and continue to serve the emperor, and I don't bother to live an ignoble existence! Queen, do you dare?" Concubine Jing suddenly shouted at the pale queen.
Her eyes were full of sarcasm, didn't she understand the queen? How could the queen be willing to give up all the glory and wealth in this world?
After Concubine Jing finished speaking, she ran forward a few steps. The guard beside her was so anxious that she thought she was going to run away and immediately slashed at her.
Prince Gong saw his mother-in-law vomiting blood and falling to the ground. Before she died, her eyes were full of reluctance to leave him.
"Mother Concubine!" Prince Gong was extremely sad, and the tears in his eyes could no longer stop flowing down.
The queen was also shocked. She didn't expect Concubine Jing to be so fierce. She didn't dare to look at the prince. Concubine Jing was right, she didn't dare!
The prince did not expect such a change to happen. He turned his gaze to the soldier, his eyes full of viciousness.
"Damn it, who asked you to do it?" The prince was furious, this damn fool!
"Your Highness, spare your life. I saw her want to run away from my humble position, so I didn't think twice." The soldier was frightened by the prince and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
The prince took out the knife from his waist and slashed at the man. Blood flowed from his shoulder immediately, and then he fell to the ground.
