Chapter 207: The Water Fell

Shou'an Palace.

The Queen Mother has already dressed up and is now waiting for Gu Jinxi to arrive so that they can go to the palace banquet together.

However, she stood there for a long time but did not see Gu Jinxi.

This made the Queen Mother frown slightly.

"What's going on?"

"Didn't they say he went to the library?"

"Why haven't you come back yet?"

The young eunuch, who was sweating profusely from anxiety, could no longer hold back when he heard this. He knelt on the ground and said tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, forgive me, I...I couldn't find the young master."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her expression immediately changed.

"What do you mean, not found?"

"What do you guys eat?

A child just went to the library to read for a while, how could he be lost?"

"Go find it quickly!"

The Queen Mother had no time to attend the palace banquet and immediately ordered people to look for her.

But as time passed, the people who were sent out came back again and again, but they couldn't find Gu Jinxi.

This made the Queen Mother even more anxious, and she didn't care about anything else and followed him out.

As soon as she walked out of Shou'an Palace, she heard a loud noise, followed by bursts of shouting.

"The fire is coming, the fire is coming..."

"Take water?"

The Queen Mother panicked.

She turned to look at Nanny Li.

"quick!"

"Hurry up and send someone to put out the fire."

Seeing the Queen Mother's anxious look, Nanny Li ordered people to help and comfort her at the same time.

"Your Highness, please don't worry. I've already asked around. The place that caught fire is just an empty palace. Few people go there normally."

"The young master is not a playful person, he will definitely not go there."

Although she said that, the Queen Mother became more and more anxious because she couldn't find Gu Jinxi for a long time.

At this time in the deserted palace.

A raging fire has already started.

Gu Jinxi held a hidden arrow and shot an arrow at the last person, and the person fell straight down.

The people who came this time were just ordinary eunuchs.

Gu Jinxi didn't even have to do anything himself, he could just rely on the newly made "weapon" in his hand to deal with it.

An hour ago.

Gu Jinxi was kidnapped here.

Perhaps because they thought Gu Jinxi was just an ordinary child, the other party did not take him too seriously. They brought him here from the library and threw him on the ground.

At this time, Gu Jinxi still closed his eyes and pretended to be dizzy.

Then one of them said, "Is the time almost up? When will the fire be lit?"

The other person heard this and shook his head.

"We have to wait a little longer. There is no signal yet."

"Don't worry, time is running out. When that woman finds out her son is missing, she will definitely come here immediately."

"When the time comes, we will set this place on fire and burn this child and that woman to death together."

As he spoke, he threw his head back and laughed.

"By then, all traces will have been burned clean and quiet. Even if they wanted to investigate, they wouldn't be able to find anything on us."

As several people laughed upon hearing this, they suddenly heard a light sound. They immediately turned around and met Gu Jinxi's clear eyes.

He looked at everyone and blinked, looking a little innocent and cute.

"Is the woman you are talking about my mother?"

"You want to deal with my mother?"

But these people did not answer her. Instead, they shouted angrily like evil spirits: "Little guy, be honest, otherwise...Puff——"

Before he could finish his words, an arrow pierced his chest.

The man fell down immediately afterwards.

Everyone was shocked to find that Gu Jinxi still had a weapon on him, and they immediately rushed forward to take it back.

But they didn't expect that the weapon on this little guy was so powerful. Before they could move forward, arrows were shot at them again.

Half of their group of more than a dozen people were gone in an instant.

Several people were furious and immediately rolled up their sleeves, wanting to capture Gu Jinxi and teach him a lesson.

But before they could get close to him, he pulled out a new weapon.

A large round "firecracker" with a wisp of green smoke rolled to the feet of the crowd.

After Gu Jinxi threw it, he immediately ran back quickly and hid.

Seeing this, several people ran away immediately.

But it was too late.

But he heard a loud bang, and the "big firecracker" in front of him exploded.

They were blown away, either torn into pieces or missing limbs, struggling but unable to move at all.

Because of the explosion, the "things" they had prepared also caught fire in an instant.

Seeing this, Gu Jinxi immediately ran out of the hall.

He ran to the wall and, relying on his small size, crawled out through the dog hole.

******

In the hall at this time.

After Situ Mingji came back, Gu Yunjin's eyes fell on her.

Situ Mingji couldn't help but frown, thinking that Gu Yunjin was an idiot.

He was staring at her like this, trying to prevent others present from noticing. Was there something wrong between them?

In order to make her look away, he nodded gently at her.

Only then did Gu Yunjin smile with satisfaction.

Gu Jingchun, this time, let’s see how you can get away!

Gu Yunjin originally just wanted to find someone to ruin Gu Jingchun's innocence at this banquet.

But Situ Mingji was a brave man and was actually prepared to kill Gu Jingchun directly and put an end to it all.

To this end, she specially stole the token from the third prince and spent all her money to bribe the eunuch who was on duty in the imperial garden today.

Thanks to the fact that today is a palace banquet, most of the palace maids and eunuchs, even the imperial guards are busy here.

Few people come to the Imperial Garden, which gives them an opportunity.

I also hope that the people around Situ Mingji can be more capable and quickly kill the person during this period of time.

However, she didn't know that Situ Mingji had set a fire to ensure that everything would be safe.

In this way, on the one hand, it can attract Gu Jingchun's attention, and on the other hand, it can eliminate all traces.

And even if the plan failed, it was the people Gu Yunjin hired who did it, and it had nothing to do with her.

Just as he was thinking about it, the eunuch's shrill voice suddenly came from the door of the hall.

Emperor Rongcheng, the Empress, and Shen Hechuan walked in together.

Upon hearing this, the people around stood up and saluted.

Wait until Emperor Rongcheng and Jiang Xianhao are seated, and then ask them to stand up.

Everyone's eyes then fell on Jiang Xianhao.

Everyone was curious about these queens who had rarely appeared in public before, and they couldn't help but be amazed when they saw Jiang Xianhao's young and beautiful face.

However, Chen Hechuan was looking back and forth at Gu Jingchun's figure in the crowd.

After looking around and not finding anyone, he immediately used his eyes to look for Tianji around him.

Tianji received the order and immediately went to find someone.

Situ Mingji also noticed Chen Hechuan's actions, and couldn't help but frown slightly, and clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves.
