Chapter 657 Being Noticed

Gu Qingquan sat quietly on the couch, regulating his breathing and breathing.

This is what she does every night before going to bed.

Even after entering the palace, she always remembered the Qigong exercises her father taught her. She would regulate her breathing at night and then get up the next morning to practice shooting.

Boring and fulfilling~

But tonight, she somehow couldn't concentrate.

After all, the harem has been in turmoil for two whole days from yesterday to today.

First, Linglong beat Concubine Lian for no reason and then asked to be confined.

As a result, she suddenly had an acute illness at night, and the emperor ordered people to bring Concubine Lian to be questioned that night. As a result, Concubine Lian vomited blood again.

Even though she vomited blood, the emperor still ordered her to be confined.

Look, I vomited blood again this morning.

This Concubine Lian is really coquettish.

All her injuries seemed like a piece of cake to her. After all, Linglong had never learned martial arts, so even if she fought, it would be just flesh wounds at most.

Not only that, he vomited blood twice.

Thinking back to what the emperor said, it was she who had ordered someone to put the flower on Linglong, Gu Qingquan really looked down on such means.

If she didn't have the skills to scheme against others, she should have exercised more and kept fit. She wouldn't have vomited blood after being hit twice.

Then there is Linglong.

Linglong said she would close the palace to find out the culprit hiding in Yuxiu Palace who was plotting to kill the emperor, but she had an emergency attack that night...

This really makes people think more.

Did they catch someone, but then someone murdered him?

But Gu Qingquan heard the news last night and rushed over, but was directly refused entry to the palace.

I went again during the day today and was still rejected.

I don’t know what’s going on inside.

Gu Qingquan was worried about something, so he simply closed his eyes and stopped trying his luck.

In this case, practicing qigong will only have the opposite effect.

Just as she was wondering whether she should go to the yard to practice boxing or something, suddenly, she was overwhelmed by a familiar feeling of being watched.

Very slight.

But Gu Qingquan could feel it.

And more than once.

At first she thought that her palace was not clean, so she checked all the servants in the palace. After a while, the feeling of being watched came back to her.

And every time it was at night.

Who is it?

The secret guards arranged by the emperor in the harem?

Suddenly, Gu Qingquan thought of someone.

"Wu Lie..."

She whispered the man's name in a voice that only she could hear.

Baili Lie.

Even though he had recognized him before, Gu Qingquan did not connect the dots between the strange gazes he felt.

But if it was him watching her in the dark.

It doesn't seem impossible.

That man was so stubborn that she had to put a lot of effort into even recognizing him. Before they recognized each other, it was understandable that he secretly came to see this old friend at night under the identity of the commander of the Dark Guard Camp.

But didn’t he accept the mission and leave?

Could it be that he is back?

Thinking of this possibility, Gu Qingquan's clear eyes rarely showed a little light.

“…Is that you?”

Gu Qingquan did not think there was anything wrong with the feeling of being stared at. He even closed his eyes and tried to feel where the faint gaze came from.

She believed that even if he could hide his aura as a secret guard, Wu Lie would not enter her bedroom without permission.

Since it is not inside the bedroom, it must be outside the palace.

Normal people would feel something in their body when being stared at, even if no one can see them, not to mention that she had been practicing martial arts since she was young.

But the feeling was too faint, like a streak of light casually passing by in the distance, clearly extinguished, refusing to leave any trace.

Gu Qingquan imagined what kind of place that person would choose if it was Bai Lilie who was watching in secret.

She wouldn't find out, but she could still see from a distance...

Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she turned her head to look at the window behind her, and the shadow cast by the candlelight in the room.

With a slight thought, Gu Qingquan simply opened the window and quickly scanned the night outside.

Then, she followed the faint perception and quickly locked onto the possible hiding position of the other party in the darkness. Finally, her sight fell on a pavilion hidden in the darkness not far away.

Gu Qingquan narrowed his eyes.

Over there!

…

Not far away, Wu Lie, who was hiding in the shadow of the attic, suddenly saw the man's gaze sticking out of the window, and it was obvious that he had noticed something.

He didn't move.

As a secret guard, he knows how to hide his body.

When a person hides in the dark and might be discovered, rash actions will instead make people notice the changes in the shadows.

On the contrary, only by staying still can one blend safely into the darkness.

He was confident that the location he had chosen would not be discovered. In such darkness and at such a distance, she could not see him.

Wu Lie was thinking this, and the next second, he saw Gu Qingquan's gaze suddenly turned to the darkness where he was.

The feeling of being stared at made Wu Lie's palms tighten for some reason.

Even at this distance, it was impossible for them to see each other's faces clearly.

But inexplicably, Wu Lie had a feeling.

Her eyes met his.
