Qin Ruoruo couldn't escape, but Gu Yanyue didn't know what happened in the palace.
She had just seen King Xiang come back, so she concluded that King Xiang must want to find Yu An to confront the truth after she left, so she let Qin Ruoruo return to the palace first, and she went to stop King Xiang.
Gu Yanyue turned around and went back to the restaurant. Seeing Yu An busy working, he knew that King Xiang had not had time to find him yet. He breathed a sigh of relief and gave Liu Mei a look.
"Go and prepare generous gifts. This lady will need them."
After giving the order, Gu Yanyue walked up to Yu An as usual and acted very close to him, just like real siblings.
"My men just came to report to me on the restaurant's recent profits. This lady has made so much profit now, and it's inseparable from your efforts."
She looked back and saw that Liu Mei had already taken out a brocade box and handed it to her.
Liu Mei generously opened the brocade box and showed the treasure inside to Yu An, "Madam, this is the night-shining pearl that His Majesty personally bestowed upon you. It is priceless and inestimable."
Gu Yanyue nodded, stretched out her slender hand to close the brocade box, and then handed it to Yu An familiarly.
"You are the younger brother of Concubine Yu after all. You have helped me for so long. It makes no sense not to give you some benefits. Accept this night-shining pearl as a reward from me."
After saying that, regardless of whether Yu An refused or accepted, Gu Yanyue handed over the brocade box, turned around and went back to the kitchen, thinking of choosing a new chef to replace Yu An.
Things had come to this point, and Gu Yanyue knew that with King Xiang's suspicious nature, he would no longer want to confront Yu An on the spot and ask for the truth.
Perhaps King Xiang will directly get rid of Yu An, or perhaps King Xiang will turn around and leave now. Either result will be good for Gu Yanyue.
It is enough to achieve this.
Perhaps Gu Yanyue would never imagine how cruel the hearts of ancient people were.
After King Xiang saw Gu Yanyue and Yu An have two familiar conversations in a row.
We also saw Gu Yanyue directly give the extremely precious night pearl to Yu An as a gift.
The feeling in my heart towards the other side is no longer doubt.
"Come here, kill him."
The next second, just as Yu An walked out of the restaurant, a man in black rushed over and went straight to his face.
The long sword was unsheathed, and with a flash of light, the man quickly struck him with a fatal blow.
Blood immediately flowed out!
When Gu Yanyue walked out of the restaurant, she saw Yu An lying in a pool of blood.
"Madam, please be careful, the assassin may not be far away!"
Liu Mei immediately pulled out the dagger that she had been hiding on her body and stood in front of Gu Yanyue.
Gu Yanyue reached out to stop her, "Don't worry. Even if he is the prince of the current dynasty, he can't be too ruthless in assassinating people in the street. Now that the goal has been achieved, the person must have left."
After she finished speaking, she squatted down and saw that the wound on Yu An's body was not in a vital place, so she ordered: "Go to the palace quickly and find Qin Ruoruo and save him!"
Although she was very angry at Kishi for betraying her, as a modern person, she really couldn't bear to watch someone struggle and die in front of her.
Besides, she always believed that Yu An had done nothing wrong, at least he had never hurt her.
If there is any guilt, then she will go to Concubine Yu to talk to her no matter what.
Liu Mei frowned, "Madam, this matter is not easy to handle. Qin Ruoruo has already entered the palace. If she wants to leave the palace, she will need your warrant. If you give her a warrant, she might die!"
Gu Yanyue sighed softly, "Bring him into the palace. He shouldn't die from this wound for a while!"
However, when the news reached the palace, the story had changed.
Shangguan Yi had already brought people to beat Qin Ruoruo, and before she started beating anyone, she received news that Gu Yanyue had sent someone to look for Qin Ruoruo.
This made him even angrier!
"Why should I release him just because Gu Yanyue tells me to?"
"She's not the Queen! Why should I listen to her in this inner palace? Go tell him that I will never let him go. This bitch will definitely get beaten today!"
The maid sent by Gu Yanyue was a little frightened and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, our wife is looking for Miss Qin for an urgent matter. Please see..."
"Why does she have so many urgent matters every day? Go back and tell her that if she wants to ask for someone from me, she must come in person. No one else is qualified!"
This sentence is already a blatant provocation.
So Gu Yanyue didn't see Qin Ruoruo until she returned to the palace.
After she brought the dying Yu An back to the palace, Yuwen Ran still came to call a royal physician for him, but he eventually died.
"What? Gu Yanyue actually dared to bring Yu An back to the palace?"
Upon hearing this news, King Xiang was overjoyed and said with a smile, "I was just worried that I had killed someone in the capital and couldn't find a scapegoat, and now the scapegoat has come to me!"
Thinking of this, he was even more delighted and turned around to give orders: "Quick! Spread the news deliberately and make sure to spread the news to the palace. Say that when Yu An was injured, only Gu Yanyue was by his side!"
He dared to bet that such news, or rumors, would cause a huge uproar as soon as it reached the palace, and it would definitely be the last straw that broke the camel's back!
By then, he wouldn't have to worry about causing Concubine Yu to become alienated from him because he killed her brother!
Gu Yanyue is really stupid!
How could he do such a thing!
…
"Have you heard? Concubine Yu's only brother was assassinated in front of the Fengji Restaurant!"
The palace maids chatted back and forth, and soon one of them came out to answer, "I've heard about this too. Isn't this Fengji Restaurant opened by Madam Zhenguo? Could it be..."
Another palace maid took up her words, gossiping, "If you ask me, Madam Zhenguo and Concubine Yu were once the best of sisters. Suddenly, they had some conflict and became sworn enemies. Maybe Madam Zhenguo is jealous of Concubine Yu!"
"ah?"
The other palace maids were all shocked. "You mean, Madam Zhenguo deliberately killed Concubine Yu's brother because she held a grudge against her? This woman is so cruel! No wonder she was pulled down from the position of Empress!"
"Fortunately, she won't be the queen now, and with all his experiences, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to become the queen in the future. Life will be easier for you and me!"
"Yes, if this cruel and ruthless woman continues to be the queen, how will we live?"
The palace maids chattered, and the news spread quickly throughout the palace, even reaching Concubine Yu...
