When Gu Junyao saw her, she put aside the past grudges for the time being. Thinking of the tragic annihilation of the Gu family, tears kept falling.

Gu Yunru was startled. What was Gu Junyao going to do again? Then she thought that this was not her style, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "What happened?"

Coming to sit next to her, Gu Junyao directly grabbed her hand, and looked at her with clear tears in her eyes, which were actually falling down.

"Sister, don't you know about the Gu family's affairs?"

Gu Junyao looked haggard, and even her voice became a little hoarse. Gu Yunru shook her head in confusion, "Gu family...Gu family, what happened?"

These days, she felt that the people around her were acting strangely, and even Qingfeng didn't often stay by her side. She wondered if something had happened.

"Someone...someone killed my parents and everyone in the mansion." Gu Junyao said with a look of despair. She covered her face in pain and buried her head deeply in the quilt.

When she heard this, she felt like she was struck by lightning. She sat stiffly on the edge of the bed. Could it be that something had happened to the butler Lai Fu, and so many innocent servants were also dead?

“Who did it?”

Gu Yunru asked urgently, and Lan'er shook her head helplessly, "No one knows, and no one has seen what the murderer looks like."

Because of this incident, Jun Guiren has not eaten a bite of food, drank a drop of water, and has been in tears all day long.

Gu Yunru came out of the Yanxi Palace. The afternoon sun was so bright that she almost fell down. Qingxing stood beside her, holding her arm.

"Princess, such a big thing happened to the Gu family. Maybe the people in the palace don't want you to worry too much. Don't be too sad."

Gu Yunru was indeed not very sad, and she did not have any deep feelings for them, but the death of Butler Lai Fu and so many innocent servants was really unjust.

"Qing Xing, have the people from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple investigated this matter?" Qing Xing frowned and said, "I haven't seen Qing Feng these days, so I guess so."

After all, this was the only tragic case in recent years in which an entire family was exterminated, and it attracted the attention of court officials. Some suspected that it was done by spies from outside the Great Wall to cause panic among the people, while others believed that the Gu family had made enemies and so suffered the tragedy.

There were many different opinions at the moment, and no one knew how to start.

As night fell, a dark figure sat on the roof of the tallest restaurant in the restaurant.

Qingfeng looked at Achou, who had done nothing but sit there these days. He walked towards him with two jugs of wine and threw one into his hands.

"Thank you very much."

"You're welcome. Just sit here. Will the murderer show up?"

Qingfeng couldn't help but feel a little curious. It was true that one cannot judge a book by its cover. This guy was so patient that he wanted to sit back and wait for something to happen.

"meeting."

Ah Chou said with a confident look, but Qing Xing found it a little unbelievable, and pulled the corner of her mouth helplessly and said, "Why do you think so?"

"The murderer will definitely come back. The fact that he could kill an entire family shows that he must have a deep hatred. How can he vent his anger if he doesn't come back to take a look?" What Ah Chou said was reasonable and well-founded. Qing Xing thought it made a lot of sense.

"Well, even if you're right."

Qingfeng took the wine jug in his hand and swallowed it all in one gulp.

Ah Chou doesn't seem to be very good at drinking, and his face turns red when he does.

"Are you okay?" Qingfeng asked with concern.

"No problem."

Ah Chou answered casually and picked up the wine again. He had never drunk alcohol before and didn't expect the aftereffect of the alcohol to be so strong.

People say drinking can help relieve sorrow, but Ah Chou didn't know why he suddenly felt sad.

"You're worried."

Qingfeng could see the distress in Achou's eyes at a glance.

"without."

He doesn't like others looking at him with scrutiny, nor does he like others interpreting anything from his expression.

"Okay, if you say it's gone, then it's gone." Qingfeng sat with him on the roof, looking quietly into the distance.

This is the roof of the tallest restaurant in the capital, and from here you can also see the dilapidated Gu Mansion.

"He's coming." Achou stood up alertly and flew directly towards the Gu Mansion.

Qingfeng quickly caught up with him in order not to fall behind him.

Kang Keren came to Gu's house and looked around. She found a pair of eyes staring at her secretly. She stood calmly on the bluestone bricks and said coldly, "Brother, you have been watching me for some time. Why don't you show up and see me?"

Two figures walked straight towards her. There were no extra pedestrians on the cold street. The air around was eerily quiet, and the occasional call of a nightingale could be heard.

"Who are you?" Achou looked at the woman wearing a white veil and didn't recognize who she was. Qingfeng frowned, as if she looked familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"He's your enemy." After Kang Keren said that, he drew out the cold sword from his waist and stabbed at him. The two men quickly fought each other, and for a moment they couldn't tell who was friend or foe. Qingfeng looked at the two men and saw that their movements were extremely fast.

He wanted to help but didn't know where to start. Seeing two people flying away, he immediately chased after them.

The two people chased each other into the woods. Ah Chou only had a short blade, but he was still able to deal with her long sword with ease.

Zi Luo sensed the movement nearby, so she shot arrows in secret. Achou was busy trying to block those arrows, but unexpectedly Kang Keren had already flown away from his sight.

When Qingfeng arrived, it was already too late. Ah Chou was not injured. Looking at the pitch-black area in the distance, they didn't know what kind of trap it might be if they went further, so both of them hesitated for a moment.

The next morning, Qingfeng returned to the palace, but was stopped by Gu Yunru, who raised her eyebrows at him arrogantly and said, "What are you doing? Are you going to see the prince again? Tell me the truth about what you have been doing these days."

Qingfeng hesitated to speak, and looked at Qingxing beside her for help, but Qingxing ignored his request for help and helped her, saying, "Yes, the princess is asking you a question."

Gu Yunru stood in front of him with a fierce look, with her hands on her waist, not wanting him to pass by. Qingfeng said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Please don't embarrass me, my princess. I am only following the orders of the prince."

"Really? Then I'm going to embarrass you and see what you can do to me."

Gu Yunru snorted at him arrogantly and stood in front of him, not letting him leave.

"Qingfeng." Rong Zhen appeared behind the two of them at some point, and Qingfeng looked at him for help as if he had seen a savior.

Gu Yunru knew that the two of them must be doing something big in private and hiding it from her.

"Tell me everything that happened last night. The princess is not an outsider."
