Xifeng left. Xia Tong could imagine that there must be trouble in the palace. However, Xifeng did not look like he was punished. It seemed that Gu Qin was still very humane and did not punish him.
"Master, it's so messy here. It will probably take a while to clean it up. Why don't you go to another room and rest for the night?" Fang Yu said in a serious tone, looking at the debris on the floor.
The room was indeed very messy. Xia Tong thought for a while before taking a cloak and preparing to sleep in Gu Qin's room for a night. However, the clean and fair guard followed her all the time, as if he was afraid that something might happen to her.
"What's your name?"
Walking in the corridor in the drizzle, Qing'er was walking in front with a lantern to light the way. Xia Tong couldn't help but look back at the guard behind her. Not to mention, he looked quite handsome.
The latter immediately took a step back, looking panicked, "My name is Zheng Mu."
After staying in the palace for so long, he deeply understood a truth: cherish life and stay away from the princess.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be a little afraid of her, Xia Tong seemed a little puzzled. She had never punished anyone in the mansion. During the holidays, she paid out of her own pocket to give big red envelopes to everyone in the mansion. How could she be as scary as Gu Qin?
"Do you know where Xifeng has gone these days?" she asked curiously.
Hearing this, the latter was stunned for a moment, as if hesitating whether to speak or not, but finally said respectfully: "This subordinate is not too clear, I only know that the prince sent him to do an important task."
Hearing this, Xia Tong couldn't help but complain to Gu Qin. This guy also said that Xifeng was dead and he couldn't do anything else except scaring her every day.
“Then… ah!”
"master!"
Xia Tong fell to the ground, holding her stomach. She looked at the dark snow stain on the ground with a pale face. Qing'er beside her was so scared that she quickly supported her, "Are you okay?"
There was nothing wrong with her stomach, so Xia Tong breathed a sigh of relief, but why was there an oil stain on the ground?
"Princess, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, several maids who were passing by carrying buckets of water were also shocked and immediately came over. Qing'er helped her up and said to them, "Help the master back to the room quickly, and also quickly go and get the imperial physician."
There was a commotion and several maids surrounded her in an instant. Xia Tong was helped up, but there was nothing wrong with her stomach. She just wanted Fang Yu to take a look and there was no need to call a doctor. But before she could say anything, her arm was suddenly pulled by someone. She staggered and a cold dagger was instantly pressed against her neck.
"ah!"
"Xiaodie, what are you doing!?"
Seeing this scene, the maids were so scared that they quickly stepped back. Only Zheng Mu took a step forward with a serious expression. The guards patrolling around also rushed over.
"My knife is definitely not as sharp as yours, but you'd better think carefully. Isn't there always a chance of something happening?"
The maid who held Xia Tong hostage smiled coldly. Although it was a strange face, Xia Tong could recognize that it was the voice of Princess Changyang.
Zheng Mu on the opposite side really hesitated. He was of course 80% sure that he could save the princess, but he was afraid of the unexpected. If something happened to the princess, how would he have the face to see the prince again?
Looking at the group of guards who surrounded her, a hint of sarcasm flashed across the maid's almond-shaped eyes. She raised her hand and wiped her face twice, revealing a gentle and beautiful face.
"Why... are you here?" Xia Tong did not move.
Princess Changyang glanced at her sarcastically, the cold dagger pressed tightly against her fair neck, the corners of her lips slightly raised, "I came early, but God still let me wait for this opportunity. Tell me... Is this the fate you mentioned?"
Xia Tong didn't say anything. She could clearly feel the murderous intent emanating from the other person. It seemed that she was not wrong last time. She just didn't know what means she had used to conceal her appearance, and how could she know kung fu?
“Did I forget to tell you that when I was in the imperial mausoleum, I was bullied a lot by those snobbish dogs, so I learned some martial arts. People only know how noble the royal princesses are, but how can they know how filthy and ugly it is. But people like you who have been raised in the palm of their hands since childhood naturally won’t understand.” Princess Changyang’s face flashed a hint of self-mockery, but more of it was unwillingness.
Xia Tong pursed her lips and said calmly, "How do you know that I haven't experienced darkness behind my seemingly smooth sailing?"
Princess Changyang's eyes were sharp, and her eyebrows moved. She said in a cold voice, "How could you understand the cruelty of the royal family? How much I have paid for the prince? How can you take away everything from me so easily!"
"Today I want you to die in front of my brother and the prince, and make them regret it for the rest of their lives! Hahaha!" Princess Changyang laughed a few times, and immediately held her hostage and retreated. Her scorching eyes swept towards the guards who were chasing her, and her cold voice rang out in the dark night, "If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill her immediately!"
——
The atmosphere in the silent Qianqing Palace was solemn. The imperial guards, holding swords, cautiously surrounded the calm man. Even though he was alone, he made everyone tremble with fear.
"King Qi has great ambitions. I have no choice but to wait." Gu Qin said as he walked out slowly. He didn't like to see these things.
But at this moment, the imperial guards in the room suddenly retreated, as if they had sensed something unusual. Xiao Ming inside immediately stepped forward to the door, but saw only the fire outside the hall illuminating the entire night. It was unknown when a large group of imperial guards had surrounded the entire Qianqing Palace, holding sharp arrows and ready to shoot.
"Grand Master, what do you mean?" He immediately looked at the old man behind the crowd with displeasure.
The latter did not dare to show his face, and could only hide behind the imperial guards and sneer a few times. His old voice was full of sarcasm, "I have killed many disobedient puppies like you, and this one is not a big deal. You should be satisfied that the emperor and the regent will be buried with you today."
"you!"
Xiao Ming clenched his fists, staring at the source of the voice with bloodshot eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Do you think that if you kill us, you, an old immortal with half of your body buried in a coffin, can usurp the throne?"
"He can't, but the brothers in the prison can. Supporting puppets is the old master's specialty, isn't it?"
Xiao Jing, who was covering his wound with a pale face, also came out. From beginning to now, there was no panic on his face, even though danger was approaching suddenly. Gu Qin on the side also watched this scene as if he was watching a good show. This old man has been lingering for too long.
"Haha, you can't escape now. The whole palace belongs to me. Gu Qin, you little bastard, I should have killed you back then, otherwise why would I let you kill my eldest son, break the legs of my second son, and still let you jump around until now!"
A cold and cruel voice rang out in the dark night, making people shiver inexplicably. The old Grand Tutor stared at the figure across the crowd with gnashing teeth, wishing he could tear the man into pieces immediately. The small number of people in his Grand Tutor's Mansion was all due to the defeat of this little bastard!
As if he could not sense the other party's hatred, Gu Qin chuckled and said in a faint tone, "It is really an honor for this prince to be remembered so much by the Grand Master."
Seeing the other person's calm and composed appearance, the old master's face turned blue with anger, "Little bastard, I will send you to see your ungrateful father today, and let your woman be ridden and tasted by thousands of people!"
Taking a few steps back, he looked at those people and suddenly waved his hand, saying in a cold tone, "Shoot them, don't spare any of them!"
