Chapter 207 Taking Action

"Don't you think so, Miss Situ?"

Situ Mingji didn't expect Gu Jingchun to say that, and was speechless for a moment.

She couldn't help but glare at Gu Jingchun before returning to the main hall.

Gu Jingchun naturally followed.

However, just as she entered, a palace maid came in hurriedly.

"Miss Gu, it's bad, the young master is missing."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun couldn't help but look at the palace maid again.

Today, Gu Jingchun did not keep Lan Xin by his side. When he heard this, he was unable to tell whether it was true or false for a moment, so he could only question the palace maid carefully first.

"I am from Shou'an Palace, and I saw the young lady several times a few days ago."

This palace maid was not unfamiliar to him. Gu Jingchun vaguely remembered that he had seen her several times when he went to Shou'an Palace.

And Gu Jinxi did go to Shou'an Palace today.

This made Gu Jingchun a little nervous, and he carefully asked about the situation of the palace maid Gu Jinxi.

The maid was panting, her tone full of urgency.

"The young master stayed in his room for a long time today, so he said he wanted to go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden.

At that time, the Empress Dowager was a little tired, so she asked the young master to take a few servants with him.

I just didn’t expect that he would never come back until now.

The Queen Mother sent many people to look for him but couldn't find any trace of him, so she sent this servant to inform you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun nodded and immediately followed the palace maid towards Shou'an Palace.

at the same time.

Somewhere in the palace, near the imperial garden, a fire slowly began to burn.

The fire burned quickly and spread rapidly.

Seeing this, the palace maids and eunuchs around immediately rushed to put out the fire.

So when Gu Jingchun walked here, the surroundings were quiet.

The venue of this banquet is quite far from Shou'an Palace, and it has to pass through the Imperial Garden in between.

There is a large lake in the imperial garden.

If you want to get closer, you need to cross the bridge over the lake.

And this bridge is the one where Concubine Hui fell into the water before.

Gu Jingchun had doubts about this palace maid and didn't want to cross this bridge.

However, seeing thick smoke rising faintly in the distance, which happened to be from the direction of Shou'an Palace, Gu Jingchun became anxious and followed the palace maid onto the bridge.

Gu Jingchun followed the palace maid and just reached the middle of the bridge when he saw the palace maid in front of him suddenly turn around, take out a dagger from her sleeve, and immediately stab Gu Jingchun.

Gu Jingchun was well prepared. When the palace maid stopped, he quickly took a step back and secretly activated the mechanism of the bracelet at the same time.

In an instant, a silver needle shot out from inside and hit the palace maid directly.

The palace maid immediately stepped back and quickly hid.

But then a second silver needle shot over.

The speed was so fast that the palace maid had no time to dodge and was immediately hit in the neck by the silver needle.

She seemed to have not expected that she would be stabbed so quickly. She could not help but raise her head and cover her neck, feeling the suffocation at her neck, and then she slowly fell down.

Almost at the same time, countless masked "eunuchs" suddenly appeared in the dark and surrounded Gu Jingchun.

They trapped Gu Jingchun on the bridge and didn't give her any chance to escape.

But Gu Jingchun was not panicked at all.

Seeing the person approaching, she pressed the mechanism again and the silver needle shot out again.

But they were obviously armed, and they had been prepared in advance, so they naturally hid quickly.

Seeing this, Gu Jingchun couldn't help but chuckle.

"It seems that the bracelet Xi'er designed needs to be improved. Otherwise, with so many people rushing at me at the same time, there's no way I'll be able to hit them."

As she spoke, she pulled out another hairpin from her head and pressed it lightly at the moment when everyone rushed over.

In an instant, countless silver needles shot out.

There were so many silver needles, and they were extremely thin that the people in front had no time to dodge and were shot and fell down quickly.

They lay on the ground, struggled for a while, and foam came out of their mouths.

When Gu Jingchun saw this, he chuckled.

"Oh, I still have to apply the poison. The effect is really immediate, surprisingly good."

After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, the people behind him hesitated for a moment.

And because these corpses fell to the ground, they also hindered the progress of those behind them.

Gu Jingchun looked at their hesitant figures and couldn't help but ask, "Who sent you, Situ Mingji?"

"Or Gu Yunjin?"

After she finished speaking, she pouted again.

"It must be Situ Mingji. Gu Yunjin doesn't have the brains to arrange things so thoroughly.

I don’t have the ability to find killers like you.”

"However, Gu Yunjin's help is also indispensable in this."

As she spoke, she shook her head.

"This Situ Mingji is smart, but he's still not smart enough."

"With such a good brain and such ruthlessness, why not do something?

"You actually used it against me?"

"And because of this, the future of the Situ family is at stake. If I were Situ Qinghe, I would probably be so angry that I would die."

"What a pity."

Gu Jingchun said this and shook his head.

Without waiting for Gu Jingchun to finish speaking, the men in black rushed forward quickly, but before they took a few steps, they felt their whole bodies go limp and fell directly to the ground.

Gu Jingchun couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw it.

"You are also stupid. I told you it was poisonous, but you didn't listen. Now you have lost your life. Are you satisfied?"

After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, all the men in black fell to the ground.

Seeing this, she sighed.

Long before she followed the palace maid here, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, so she secretly took the antidote just in case.

The hairpins on her head were also specially designed by her. Not only could they launch hidden weapons, they also contained poisons and antidotes.

It is used to save your life at critical moments.

She had never used it since she came to Tiandu, but she didn't expect to use it today.

She turned off the mechanism that emitted poisonous gas, casually put the hairpin on her head, and then stepped down from the bridge over the corpses.

Although these people have been dealt with, Gu Jingchun is still a little worried about Gu Jinxi and plans to go and check it out.

However, she still underestimated Situ Mingji's brain.

She had just stepped off the bridge when she vaguely felt something was wrong. Then, the world in front of her began to spin and her body went limp.

Gu Jingchun secretly cried out "Oh no!", guessing that there must be something fishy about the clothes.

She immediately held onto the tree next to her to steady herself and pressed the mechanism of the bracelet.

In an instant, a sharp dagger emerged from the bracelet.

Gu Jingchun used force and let the dagger cut his palm.

The intense pain made her mind clearer a little, and she took off another hairpin from her head, removed the mechanism, and then took out a pill from it.

However, at this moment, a figure appeared behind her, holding a long sword, and slowly approached her.
