Xie Yunjiao was wondering, if she tried hard at this time, could she break out of the siege?
Mrs. Lian looked around and suddenly found that Gu Huai was gone. She couldn't help but be shocked: "Master, where is Lian Qi? Where did Lian Qi go? If the Royal Guards find us and find Gu Huai missing, will they blame us?"
Mrs. Lian got excited and spoke louder, and people nearby looked in her direction.
Lian Yan glared at her unhappily and said, "Shut up! No one will think you're dumb if you don't speak at this time."
Mrs. Lian felt very aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say another word.
She glared at Xie Yunjiao fiercely. If anything really happened to them, she would not let Xie Yunjiao and the others go even if she became a ghost!
"Master Lian, how many of you are here? Six..." The leader of the Imperial Guards looked around, his expression serious. "Where are the other two? Where are Lian Qi and Lian Jue?"
"Sir, my husband just went to the bathroom." Xie Yunjiao said as if nothing had happened.
"Is it convenient?" The leader of the Imperial Guards raised an eyebrow and said to his men, "Go to the toilet immediately and look for it."
Xie Yunjiao's heart was pounding. She knew it was just a lame excuse. If they went to the toilet and couldn't find Gu Huai, he would probably come back and capture them all.
Fortunately, Doudou was by Yan Qing's side at this time. I hope Yan Qing can help protect Doudou.
"What about the other one?"
"You can go and ask Prince Yan." Xie Yunjiao said.
The Royal Guards left quickly and started to check the next place.
Just then, they heard the sound of fighting not far away, and also heard a delicate voice screaming.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gu Huai and Zhao Qian fighting each other, and the one standing aside to try to stop the fight was Yan Ning, the eldest daughter of the Yan family.
"You two, stop fighting!"
Gu Huai looked at Yan Ning and said, "Miss Yan, this matter has nothing to do with you. Please move aside, otherwise the sword will hurt you."
"Mr. Lian Qi, stop talking nonsense. I've already told you that your sister and I have nothing to do with each other. These are just rumors." Zhao Qian was punched by Gu Huai in the right eye. After a while, his right eye became red and swollen, looking very scary.
He was in so much pain that tears came out. If he wasn't in front of so many people, he wouldn't have spoken so politely.
"You're fickle and you've bullied my sister and you refuse to admit it. I won't let you off easily!"
Gu Huai punched Zhao Qian again.
Zhao Qian repeatedly explained to Gu Huai, but Gu Huai didn't listen and attacked him instead.
Zhao Qian was irritated by Gu Huai and began to fight back.
The two soon started fighting each other.
Suddenly, a dagger fell from Gu Huai's arms.
Gu Huai wanted to pick it up, but was a step too slow.
Zhao Qian picked up the dagger and stabbed Gu Huai with it. Gu Huai was unable to dodge and was scratched on the shoulder and was defeated.
Zhao Qian looked at the injured Gu Huai and smiled smugly: "You overestimate your own abilities! It's too early to fight me."
The emperor sent people to control both of them and took them to the middle of the imperial garden for questioning.
Yan Ning was timid and told everything the emperor asked him.
It turned out that she had to go to the bathroom urgently and was blocked by Zhao Qian on her way back. Zhao Qian said sweet words to her and said that after marrying her, he would drive away all the other beautiful women around him and only love her in the future.
Yan Ning avoided the issue, saying that private meetings between men and women would damage their reputation, and asked Zhao Qian to wait until the elders of both sides were present before saying anything.
At this moment, the angry Gu Huai suddenly rushed over and attacked Zhao Qian.
"So Lian Qi is wrong?"
"Your Majesty, it is my fault for not teaching well and causing everyone to be frightened. I will definitely educate that rebellious son well when I return." Lian Yan knelt down hurriedly.
Mrs. Lian was already scared half to death. Seeing Lian Yan kneeling down, she also quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
Mrs. Lian glanced at Gu Huai secretly, wondering why she hadn't noticed how much Gu Huai loved Lian Yiyi, and why he would help Lian Yiyi to get attention at this time?
"I think Lian Qi has good skills, but I'm afraid Lord Lian can't teach him well. It would be better for him to go to the military camp and train well. Maybe he can serve the country in the future." The Fifth Prince suddenly said.
He had wanted to deal with Gu Huai for a long time, and now he finally found the opportunity!
The emperor's gaze remained fixed on Gu Huai, and the bright light made Gu Huai's face particularly clear.
Although Gu Huai's details are not very similar to the third brother, they are still somewhat similar at first glance, so it's no wonder that the fifth brother made a mistake.
Since Lao Wu proposed to throw Gu Huai into the military camp, he must have his own intentions. It would be better for him to do as Lao Wu said.
"Willn't it mean that I will be able to gain another capable general in the near future?"
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. The dog is too weak to join the camp." Lian Yan said in a panic.
The more reluctant Lian Yan was, the more proud the Fifth Prince became. He looked at the emperor, and the emperor nodded at him.
He knew that this would definitely happen.
The Imperial Guards searched the entire palace but could not find the assassin who broke into the emperor's bedroom. The emperor no longer had the heart to hold the banquet, so he had to hurriedly announce the end and leave the imperial garden.
Xie Yunjiao supported Gu Huai and looked at the wound on his shoulder. Her eyes warmed up. "It must be very painful, right?"
Gu Huai didn't want Xie Yunjiao to worry, so he smiled at her and said, "It's okay, just a minor injury."
"You're still talking nonsense." Xie Yunjiao poked Gu Huai in the waist. "Thank goodness you're okay. You have no idea how worried I was..."
The Imperial Guard suddenly approached, and Xie Yunjiao quickly changed her tone, saying, "I told you not to be so impulsive, but you wouldn't listen. Now you're in trouble, aren't you?"
Gu Huai looked at Xie Yunjiao with pretended fear and said, "My dear, it's my fault. Please don't be angry, okay?"
The Imperial Guards couldn't help but sneer as they watched Gu Huai interacting with Xie Yunjiao: "Look at how he's afraid of his wife. He's really not like a man."
Gu Huai didn't get angry when he heard this, instead he smiled and said, "It's good to be afraid of your wife. Only by being afraid of your wife can you live a long life and get promoted."
Those people laughed: "You are nothing yet you are just daydreaming here. No wonder you are causing trouble at a time like this."
"That's right. I thought Mr. Lian's son would be as smart as his father, but he's just an impulsive idiot who's afraid of his wife."
Xie Yunjiao smiled, but her eyes couldn't help but darken.
It would be unlike her if she could remain calm and composed after hearing others talk about her man like this.
She stood up with a whoosh, raised her hand to stop the Royal Guard who was speaking and said coldly: "You, apologize to my husband!"
"Why should I apologize?" The Imperial Guard sneered and looked at Xie Yunjiao with disdain.
