Gu Miao and Qu Lingling's plan has succeeded, and a sinister smile flashed in their eyes.

Wu Xian'er, who had been silent the whole time, stood up and said to Gu Miao and Qu Lingling, "You two, come with me."

Qu Lingling showed displeasure. How dare she order her around like this!

But Gu Miao had already stood up and followed, turning back to Qu Lingling and saying softly, "Sister Qu, let's go together."

Inside the room, Wu Xian'er's face was extremely cold. She looked much calmer than before, but there was more bitterness and harshness in her eyes.

Qu Lingling glanced at her and said unhappily, "If you dare to order me like this in the future, be careful or I won't give you face."

Wu Xian'er ignored her words. Now there was only one thing in her mind.

Gu Qing must die!

"How do you want to kill Gu Qing?" As soon as Wu Xian'er opened her mouth, Qu Lingling and Gu Miao looked at each other meaningfully.

Gu Miao still pretended to be weak: "Sister Wu! What nonsense are you talking about? This is under the feet of the emperor. Killing someone means paying with your life!"

Wu Xian'er sneered and glanced at Gu Miao: "I can't stand your fake and delicate appearance. It's really disgusting."

"Although Gu Qing is hateful, he is not as disgusting as you."

She spoke bluntly, and Gu Miao's face immediately turned ugly.

Qu Lingling also frowned. Could it be that Wu Xianer was crazy?

Was he whipped by Chen Zhizhou and his head was damaged?

"If you want to kill someone, don't take us with you." Qu Lingling said and was about to leave.

Wu Xian'er sneered and said, "The day after tomorrow, there will be a night banquet in the palace. There will be a lot of people in the palace, which is the best opportunity to kill Gu Qing. Are you sure you don't want to consider it?"

Qu Lingling paused slightly, and Gu Miao's expression became much paler. They both looked at Wu Xian'er in silence.

After a long silence, Wu Xian'er suddenly laughed: "It seems that our goals are the same."

"Murder will definitely be discovered, unless there is a foolproof method." Qu Lingling said. Wu Xian'er curled her lips into a sneer: "Why use our people?"

Gu Miao couldn't help but ask: "Who else?"

"Du Qing, with her stupid brain, is the perfect scapegoat." Wu Xian'er continued, "Yesterday, she was slapped in the face by Gu Qing on the street. I'm afraid she hates Gu Qing to the core."

"You don't need me to ask her to kill Gu Qing. She will find an opportunity herself."

Gu Miao and Qu Lingling's expressions darkened slightly, and they both looked at Wu Xian'er. Finally, Qu Lingling spoke first: "What you said makes some sense."

Gu Miao sighed helplessly: "I won't spread what you said today. After all, my sister has already earned public wrath. If I go against them, it would be against the will of heaven."

"In the final analysis, it was my sister who went too far."

Wu Xian'er snorted coldly: "I'm warning you, if you act like this again, you'll be the next one to be eliminated!"

Gu Miao clenched his fists, "You!"

“…”

Qu Lingling was too lazy to watch the two of them fighting each other: "It's getting late, and I should go back. If you have any plans, send someone to my house. The day after tomorrow we just need to find an opportunity for Du Qing to take action."

"Then Gu Qing's death will have nothing to do with us."

Wu Xian'er also laughed and said, "Sacrificing a little daughter of a secretary and killing Gu Qing who is against us is really worthwhile."

At this moment, Gu Miao, who was standing opposite, felt her heart sink. She was also the daughter of a Zhongshu Sheren, and even just a concubine's daughter...

These two people are so bold, it is not impossible for them to kill me in the future.

When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked.

Gu Miao's heart tightened, and he remained silent. He left with Qu Lingling and only slumped in a chair when he returned home.

Seeing this, Liu slowly climbed up from the couch and walked over to her, supporting her still-unhealed waist. "What's wrong with you? Did you meet the Fifth Prince at the banquet?"

"Mom, please don't talk about the prince anymore. My daughter encountered a big thing today!" Gu Miao took a long breath, and seeing this, Liu also became nervous.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

Gu Miao told Liu everything that had just happened. Liu's face was horrified, but then she started laughing crazily, with tears coming out of the corners of her eyes.

"Okay! Okay! God has opened His eyes! Gu Qing must be killed and her life will be ruined forever!"

Gu Miao was not so happy, and sighed: "Mom, these women are crazy."

"They dared to kill Gu Qing in the palace, let alone their daughter?"

Liu suddenly calmed down and held Gu Qing's arm with both hands: "You make sense."

"So, my daughter, you must marry the prince! Only the royal family can protect both you and me." The emotion in Liu's eyes turned into suppressed grief and indignation: "You know what mother wants."

"In this whole world, you and I, mother and daughter, are the only ones who depend on each other for survival."

Gu Miao nodded, clenched her hands, and said word by word: "Mother, I understand."

......

At the Chen Mansion, Gu Qing took a nap and suddenly woke up. He sat up in a daze, with a thin layer of sweat on his back.

Chen Zhizhou was reading a military book on the imperial concubine's couch nearby. Upon hearing the sound, he put down the bamboo slips in his hand and strode into the inner room, holding Gu Qing in his arms: "Madam, are you having a nightmare?"

Gu Qing responded calmly, frowning and saying, "I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy."

"What did the lady dream about?"

Gu Qing shook his head: "Nothing, just a stuffy chest, it's always because of the excessive heat."

"Then I'll give you some ice." Chen Zhizhou was about to stand up, but was stopped by Gu Qing: "No need, can you stay here with me?"

Chen Zhizhou laughed, took off his shoes and socks, and lay down beside her, gently stroking her back. "What would you like to perform at the palace banquet the day after tomorrow, Madam?"

"I need it too?" Gu Qing was a little surprised.

Chen Zhizhou's smile deepened, and he pinched her face: "Didn't Le Feng tell Madam yesterday?"

"As I said, my family doesn't have any young daughters, so it shouldn't be necessary." Gu Qing said, and suddenly asked: "Do married women also need it?"

"Yes, every official's family must send a female relative. However, if the woman does not want to go, I can just say that you are not feeling well."

Gu Qing held him back, thought for a moment, and said, "No, this is not only about Tianxuan's reputation, but also about each family's reputation. If every family has their women perform, and only the Chen family is special, won't it cause gossip?"

"This is not the only thing that has caused me, Chen Zhizhou, to be criticized." Chen Zhizhou kissed her forehead lightly.

Gu Qing said, "Since I'm married to you, I shouldn't hold you back. Even if I don't want to take first place, I still have to go through the motions."

"What does the lady want to perform?"

As he spoke, Chen Zhizhou realized that he had never seen Gu Qing move things like dance and music before, and his eyes immediately showed some anticipation and joy.

Gu Qing pretended to be mysterious: "I won't tell you yet, you will know when the day comes."
