She saw He Lin when he arrived.
"Qi Yuan is dead." Gu Qian's voice was low, his sharp gaze fixed on Bai Lu.
"She killed Qi Yuan."
"What?" Qiu Yan was startled and suddenly looked up at Bai Lu, her eyes becoming complicated.
Her first thought was that Bai Lu's actions were intended to provoke a war between the two countries.
Of course, Gu Qian thought so too, and he was certain that Bai Lu had the same idea.
Bailu knew that punishment was inevitable today.
She went straight to Qiu Yan and said, "I killed her. I will take responsibility for my actions. If Northern Qi blames me, just hand me over!"
She meant that this matter would not implicate Qiu Yan.
"Hand you over?" Qiu Yan asked tentatively, "Does the Emperor of Northern Qi know who Feng Qi is?"
Bai Lu lowered her head slightly, "I don't know her."
Qiu Yan: "Bai Lu, I originally thought that even if you were going to take action, you would wait until your injuries healed. I was negligent and shouldn't have kept you alive."
Bai Lu's expression turned serious. She admitted that she had selfish motives, yes, selfish motives.
"Master, I'm sorry."
Qiu Yan: "What's the use of apologizing to me? Tell me first, why did you kill her?"
Bai Lu choked on her words, and finally came up with a clumsy reply:
"Qi Yuan must die. Only when she dies will no one compete with you for Gu Qian."
Qiu Yan stopped talking; she needed to calm down.
"Your words sound noble, but your motives are despicable. Bai Lu, Yan Yan may not want to kill you, but that doesn't mean I'll show you mercy." Gu Qian was almost laughing in anger.
He swiftly drew the soft sword from his waist and pressed it against Bai Lu's neck.
"Yan Yan, you really shouldn't have saved her."
Seeing Gu Qian's angry eyes, Bai Lu added fuel to the fire, "I killed Qi Yuan, and you feel sorry for me?"
“Killing you wouldn’t be too much!” Swish… Gu Qian lightly sliced through Bai Lu’s neck with his blade, and blood seeped out.
"Gu Qian!" Qiu Yan stopped her, her eyes still fixed on Bai Lu.
"It's all my fault, Bai Lu. I knew long ago that your motives were impure, but I still made a mistake. It's my fault."
A sense of unease crept into her heart.
Qiu Yan's eyes were cold and distant, making Bai Lu feel like a stranger. "My motive is for you."
Ling Qi, hidden in the shadows, was genuinely startled, his palms drenched in sweat.
He knew that Bailu's lesson today was unavoidable.
However, Bai Lu did not think that she had done anything wrong.
Qiu Yan: "For me?" How stupid could she be to believe Bai Lu's nonsense?
Just then, Ling Ba came to report,
"General, the Crown Prince of Northern Qi has arrived."
Gu Qian clenched his fist and left.
Qiu Yan glanced at Bai Lu with a sharp look, still worried, and followed closely behind.
As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard, I heard a commotion and a lot of talking inside the mansion.
Because Qi Yuan's body is now lying outside the General's Mansion.
Qi Heng originally intended to carry the body to the general's mansion, but as one can imagine, he couldn't do it.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qian's anger was beyond words.
But soon, his expression returned to normal.
"Qi Heng, what do you mean by this?"
When Qi Heng saw Gu Qian, his previous anger subsided.
His gentle gaze was calm and clear; he looked like an ordinary rich young master.
"Gu Qian, my imperial sister is dead. Her only wish was to marry you."
She couldn't fulfill this wish while she was alive, but now that she's dead, I'm fulfilling it for her.
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Qiu Yan beside Gu Qian.
Looking at Qiu Yan, the scene in Baiyang flashed through his mind.
Is it her?
