However, in the pitch-black night, Xue Luan could not see the face of the person clearly. He could only see a rough outline and a pair of beautiful, sparkling eyes.
But sometimes there doesn't need so many exact conditions. When she covered his mouth and approached him, Xue Luan recognized this person at a glance.
His round eyes suddenly widened in surprise, but when he wanted to say something, his mouth was covered again.
Gu Jinke did not expect to meet Xue Luan here. In fact, she was worried after listening to the whereabouts reported by her subordinates, so she came here to confirm Xue Luan's safety and to solve the problem of Gong Zhongxing here. However, she did not expect that just as she was about to check out the manor, a person emerged from the weeds below, and it was Xue Luan.
Xue Luan actually came out, which meant that he must have had a conflict with Gong Zhongxing. Gu Jinke's eyes became deep and his fists clenched.
Gong Zhongxing!
But soon the warm breath in her hand brought Gu Jinke back to her senses, and she looked at Xue Luan.
Xue Luan was in a really embarrassing situation now. He was actually detained by Gong Zhongxing and imprisoned in the woodshed. However, Xue Luan was worried that Gu Jinke would fall into the trap and run away to inform her or his mother, so he tried every means to break the ropes that tied him up. He was also very bold and used his mediocre kung fu to knock out the servants in Bie Zhuang's mansion. Finally, relying on his years of experience in mischief, he found a dog hole and escaped.
Half of his body was still in the villa. The half that had crawled out had a messy head of weeds and some debris on it. His neat hair was a little loose, his face was covered with dust, and his neat clothes were wrinkled and dirty.
Xue Luan quickly realized this problem. He didn't know how dirty or miserable he was, but when he thought about crawling and rolling on the ground, he knew he couldn't be very clean. The key point was that Gu Jinke saw him crawling out of the dog hole.
Embarrassment invaded his thoughts for a moment, and he subconsciously shrank back, with a flush on his face. Gu Jinke grabbed his shoulders, somewhat confused as to why he was shrinking back.
She whispered, "Be quiet and come out!"
Xue Luan quickly sensed the seriousness of the matter from her lowered voice, and quickly suppressed his inner embarrassment and carefully crawled out. When Gu Jinke released his lips, his palms were already wet.
She shook her hands uncomfortably, then helped Xue Luan, who had just crawled out, up and squatted down at the foot of the wall.
Xue Luan was still concerned about her safety, and as soon as she let him go, he was about to tip her off: "Your Highness, Gong Zhongxing wants to..."
Gu Jinke nodded: "I already know about this."
Xue Luan finally breathed a sigh of relief. The big issue concerning Gu Jinke was resolved. He then noticed himself and immediately subconsciously turned his body to avoid Gu Jinke's sight and wanted to wipe his face.
He just wanted to raise his sleeve, but then he remembered that his sleeve had just rubbed against the ground, and he quickly couldn't bring himself to do it. He could only reach out and pull the messy weeds on his head. But he was afraid that the mud on his hands would stain his hair and make it even more messy, so he could only gently pinch his fingertips and tidy it up slowly.
He didn't want Gu Jinke to see him in such a miserable state at all. At this moment, he was already a little angry with Gong Zhongxing!
How could this person be so hateful! Not only did he want to murder Your Highness, he also wanted to let Your Highness see him in such an embarrassing state!
ah! It's so abominable! Xue Luan roared madly in his heart.
Gu Jinke was recalling the layout of the villa he had seen before. As soon as he came back to his senses, he saw the ever-changing expression on Xue Luan's face beside him, and the way he was slowly combing his hair. He couldn't help laughing for a moment.
I used to think that this little boy had grown up and become more dignified, but it seems that his inner nature remains unchanged.
She took out a clean handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to him: "Use this to wipe it."
Her eyesight was very good at night, and she quickly saw the young man's red face as the handkerchief was handed out, and his shy eyes when he looked at her. Gu Jinke paused, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should hand over the handkerchief in his hand.
She felt a little guilty: "Mr. Xue..."
Xue Luan's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively looked up and reached out to grab the handkerchief: "Thank you, Your Highness. Why are you here?"
He interrupted her unexpectedly and asked.
Gu Jinke's words were stuck in her throat. She looked at Xue Luan. In the dark night, the young man's face, which had been rosy just now, had turned pale.
There was some panic in his eyes, but he still forced himself to ask her.
Gu Jinke felt a sharp pain in her heart, and was filled with a deep sense of pain and guilt. She rubbed his hair but did not answer his question. She said, "Aluan, I'm sorry."
Tears suddenly rolled down Xue Luan's eyes. The crystal clear tears fell straight down and hit the knees of Gu Jinke who was squatting. Gu Jinke felt as if his knees were suddenly burned.
Gu Jinke closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, he was already determined: "Aluan! You deserve better, someone who treats you wholeheartedly."
Xue Luan's character is simple and innocent. He is clear-headed but will not be bound. The palace is not a suitable place for him, as it will only imprison his soul. Moreover, such a single-minded, sincere and passionate young man should have someone who cherishes him wholeheartedly.
She reached out and carefully wiped his tears. Xue Luan stammered but couldn't speak. He wanted to say no, it wasn't like that, there was no better one, the one he had met now was the best.
He could only shake his head, his round, watery eyes like black grapes, he looked at Gu Jinke hopefully: "Your Highness, I don't..."
I'm not jealous, he wanted to say, he could live in peace with Josh, he just wanted to be by her side. But Gu Jinke didn't let him say it. She covered Xue Luan's mouth and stopped him with a firm look. She called him gently, "A Luan."
He should be a proud young man and not have to compromise like this for her.
Xue Luan's tears fell, and his hand touched the copper coin tied around his wrist. How could this happen? It was obviously chosen by God.
Gu Jinke could only watch him cry quietly in silence and pat him on the back to calm him down.
Xue Luan's eyes slowly calmed down, from despair to calmness. He slowly reached out and took off the copper coin in his hand, untied the braided red rope and opened it a little wider, looking at Gu Jinke with pleading eyes: "Then Your Highness, can you carry this with you in the future?"
Gu Jinke was silent for a moment, then agreed. The corners of Xue Luan's lips curved up. He originally wanted to put it on Gu Jinke's wrist, but he didn't know what he thought of. His face darkened, and he took off a purse from his body, put the red rope in it, tied it tightly, and then handed it to Gu Jinke.
His Highness has clearly refused. Keep pestering him will not lead to any result. It will only make His Highness disgusted. Doesn't he already have the answer? Her Highness has her decision and her persistence, and Xue Luan cannot change it, but he also has his own promises and love to keep.
This is the wife chosen by God. It is up to him to decide. But if his woman cannot accompany His Highness openly, then this copper coin can accompany her on his behalf.
Gu Jinke took it very solemnly and was about to say something when he heard footsteps and the fire lit up.
Gu Jinke immediately put the purse back in front of his chest and placed it close to his body, pulled Xue Luan behind him to cover him, then stood up and looked over.
The people who came were well-trained, and they turned out to be a small team of guards. Gong Zhongxing walked out from behind the guards. He found that Xue Luan in the mansion was missing and came out to search. It was just a dispensable search at first, but when he saw Xue Luan who was subconsciously protected by Gu Jinke, he felt uncomfortable and said, "Oh, I thought it was a wild mandarin duck from somewhere."
Gu Jinke's eyes sharpened: "Gong Zhongxing, have you forgotten the lesson I taught you last time? This time, you don't want your tongue anymore?"
Her cold gaze swept across Gong Zhongxing's neck, then looked into Gong Zhongxing's eyes. She had taken out a dagger from her hand at some point and gently turned it in her palm. The blade of the dagger was as silver-white as snow, very dazzling. She looked at Gong Zhongxing as if she was looking at a rabbit to be slaughtered.
Gong Zhongxing felt his heart stagnate, and the suffocating feeling from the last time when Gu Jinke grabbed his neck came flooding back. His face froze, a little pale, but he hated it even more: "Gu! Jin! Ke!"
"Come here, if you call the princess by her name, I'll slap you in the face!" Gu Jinke said coldly.
A black shadow suddenly flashed out of the darkness, and it came and went like the wind, but the "pop" sound was particularly loud. When everyone came to their senses, they saw Gong Zhongxing's body trembling and covering his face. His breathing was particularly rapid, as if he couldn't believe it at all: "Gu Jinke!"
"It seems that you haven't learned your lesson. Slap!" Gu Jinke sneered.
At this moment, the guards behind him instinctively went up to protect him, but they still could not catch sight of the black shadow.
"Snap!" Another sound, especially loud. This time, Gong Zhongxing had covered the other half of his face.
The deterrent effect of these two slaps came out immediately, and the scene became quiet for a while. Gong Zhongxing's body slowly stabilized from the violent trembling, but there was a ball of fire in his eyes, which was getting hotter and hotter.
Why did Gu Jinke scold and slap him in public? Was it just to protect the little bitch behind her? Her future king?
Gong Zhongxing felt like his heart was burning. Could it be that Gu Jinke really liked Xue Luan? How could Gu Jinke like someone else? He couldn't help but look at Xue Luan who was hiding behind Gu Jinke with a vicious gaze.
Gu Jinke saw the way he looked at Xue Luan and felt disgusted. He hid Xue Luan even more tightly and said, "If you are disrespectful to the king, I will slap you!"
"Snap!" the black shadow moved again.
Gu Jinke warned, "Gong Zhongxing, take care of your eyes! If you don't want them, I can take them out for you."
If it weren't for Prime Minister Gongzhong, Gu Jinke would have killed the man without hesitation based on the new and old grudges over the years and his involvement in the incident involving the three princesses.
After all, it's not scary if a person is stupid, but it's scary if a person is both stupid and vicious. Gong Zhongxing believed the plan of Gu Jinxiu and Xianguijun, and helped to entangle Lord Xue and Lord Qiao, and even caused dirty tricks between the two families. If Gu Jinke had not been more careful, he would have fallen into Gu Jinxiu's trap. Both the Xue and Qiao families will suffer a devastating disaster if they have a new queen. And if he fails, his grandmother will be implicated in the end. Gu Jinke just feels itchy to do something to such a person.
Perhaps it was the Queen's indulgence over the years and Gu Jinke's repeated concessions that made him so stupid. Gu Jinke sneered, his eyes flashing with sarcasm: "Catch him."
The settlement will be done later.
The black shadow moved again, but this time it was carrying out an arrest. The guards around Gong Zhongxing were not only afraid of the black shadow's elusiveness, but also because they vaguely guessed Gu Jinke's identity through their conversation, so they were even more frightened.
Gu Jinke's three merciless slaps also made Gong Zhongxing temporarily sober up. Looking at this Gu Jinke who was so different from the past, Gong Zhongxing just felt that she had changed.
The biological instinct for survival made him retreat and dodge, and at the same time he ordered the guards to protect him. As long as he escaped and did not fall into Gu Jinke's hands, his grandmother and the empress would protect him. On the contrary, she should worry about herself because of Gu Jinke's treason.
But he overestimated himself. The black shadow acted swiftly and decisively, and the guards, who were cautious in their actions, could not hinder her movements, and soon the rope was wrapped around Gong Zhongxing.
"Tsk tsk, how can the princess treat her childhood sweetheart like this? Why doesn't she have any pity for the young master?" A gentle voice suddenly sounded, and it seemed to contain a hint of smile.
Along with the sound came a barrage of arrows.
Hearing the sound and seeing the arrow, Gu Jinke rubbed his knuckles and smiled softly.
The one she was waiting for finally couldn't help but come out.
