Chapter 184 Assassination
Upon hearing this, Concubine Hui stood up suddenly.
"What do you mean missing?"
"What do Qinglian and the others do for food? I asked her to guard His Highness, but what did she guard?"
Seeing this, Xuan Ji knelt on the ground and told Concubine Hui the whole story.
"A few days ago, His Highness went to a newly opened brothel on a whim and fell in love with one of the top girls there.
But he didn't expect that the girl would be taken away by Yong'an Hou and raped. The girl also kept saying that Yong'an Hou was disrespectful to His Highness. His Highness was so angry that he wanted to go to Yong'an Hou to argue.
"Qinglian tried to stop His Highness at that time, but His Highness refused to listen. He never expected that once he left, he would never come back."
East Palace.
When Gu Jingchun heard the news just coming back, he smiled with satisfaction.
"What a good Ye Wenxi! I just asked him to kill someone, but he actually acted out of it.
With his level, it would be a shame if he didn’t write a storybook.”
Lan Xin also chuckled when she heard this.
"I also find these stories interesting."
"I didn't expect that this gentle and refined Mr. Wenxi actually has such abilities."
"You don't know how chaotic the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion is right now."
"Moreover, Prince Rui has some rift with Marquis Yong'an because of this."
"Now Imperial Concubine Hui is also complaining to Marquis Yong'an because she can't find Prince Te Rui.
I heard that she even ordered people to secretly investigate Gu Wei'ang's actions, apparently suspecting that he had taken Prince Rui away."
Gu Jingchun nodded with satisfaction.
"Sure enough, Ye Wenxi's moves are extraordinary.
Tell him that I will definitely thank him well when I leave the palace."
Lan Xin nodded.
"Okay, Miss, don't worry, I promise to pass on your message."
At this time, Shen Hechuan pushed the door and walked in.
"Who do you want to thank?"
When Lan Xin saw Chen Hechuan coming, she quickly and quietly went out.
But Gu Jingchun frowned slightly.
"When did you come and why didn't you knock?"
When Shen Hechuan heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he was obviously unhappy.
He walked up to Gu Jingchun and held him in his arms, then asked, "Why? You don't welcome me?"
"Or is there a secret you don't want to tell me?"
Gu Jingchun pushed the other person back and said:
"If it's a secret, how can I tell you?"
Shen Hechuan pretended to be angry, but his face turned cold.
But Gu Jingchun didn't indulge him at all. He got out of his arms and asked, "What? Are you unhappy?"
"If you're not happy, why not just let me go?"
When Shen Hechuan heard this, he became unhappy and immediately stepped forward, hugged Gu Jingchun tightly in his arms, and then said:
"Don't even think about it! Now that you're in my hands, don't even think about getting rid of me in this lifetime."
As he spoke, he held Gu Jingchun's hand from behind. In the process, he touched Gu Jingchun's bracelet and couldn't help but look down.
"Where did this bracelet come from? It's quite beautiful."
Gu Jingchun knew Shen Hechuan's personality very well. Although Ye Wenxi had no other thoughts about her, in order to avoid trouble, she still lied and said, "Of course I bought it myself."
Shen Hechuan took another look.
"Good vision."
He wanted to look again, but Gu Jingchun withdrew his hand and asked, "What brings you here today?"
"Of course I have good news to tell you."
Chen Hechuan kept the question in suspense while speaking.
"Prince Rui has disappeared, and there's chaos in Hui'an Palace right now."
Gu Jingchun already knew this, but he still nodded in cooperation.
"I have prepared a great gift for Prince Rui. If he dies this time, then this gift will be useless, right?"
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.
“A big gift?
What gift?"
But Shen Hechuan didn't want to say it, and only said: "You will know when the time comes."
"Didn't you say that if King Rui died, it would be useless?"
Shen Hechuan smiled when he heard this.
"Don't worry, he won't die."
"How do you know?"
Chen Hechuan then said, "Do you think Concubine Hui has been a vegetarian all these years?"
"Everyone around Prince Rui is an outstanding individual. This time, they probably let their guard down, which is why they were attacked."
"Once they react, they will definitely find the person back soon."
"Now we only have the news of his disappearance, not his death, which means that this person has lost the opportunity to kill her."
Shen Hechuan’s words were quite right.
At this time, Qin Mulan had used up all her strength to pull the dagger out of King Rui's abdomen, but she no longer had the strength to stab the dagger into his chest.
Her bloody hand tightly grasped the dagger, and her other hand covered the wound on her abdomen to slow down the flow of blood.
Just as she raised her dagger again, a long arrow pierced her chest.
"puff--"
She spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately fell to the ground.
However, her hand holding the dagger stubbornly stepped forward, stroking and slowly cutting off one of King Rui's fingers.
"ah--"
The severe pain made King Rui groan.
He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Qin Mulan lying beside him, covered in blood, staring at him with eyes full of hatred.
He was horrified for a moment, then suddenly remembered what had just happened.
Not long ago, he took Qin Mulan to find Gu Weiang.
However, they didn't expect that the carriage encountered an accident on the road, and a group of people who came from nowhere surrounded them.
Immediately afterwards, they fell into a fierce battle.
All his men joined the battle, and seeing that they were no match for the enemy's offensive, they escorted King Rui away first.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, Qin Mulan said that she could drive a carriage, so she took King Rui away first.
The carriage sped along and finally stopped in a mountain area.
Prince Rui lifted the curtain of his carriage and frowned when he saw this barren place.
"What kind of place is this? You are..."
Before he could finish his words, a dagger stabbed towards his chest. Fortunately, he noticed it early and dodged in time, so he was not stabbed in the chest, but he was stabbed in the ribs.
He was in great pain, and he quickly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it into Qin Mulan's abdomen.
"puff--"
Qin Mulan spat out a mouthful of blood, and blood flowed from her abdomen.
But she seemed to feel no pain, and immediately pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into his abdomen again.
"you……"
Prince Rui felt severe pain in his abdomen and could no longer stand.
In an instant, both of them lost their strength and fell to the ground.
After a moment, Qin Mulan slowly opened her eyes.
She looked at King Rui who was still breathing, and she was unwilling to give up.
She struggled to get up, ignoring the pain in her body and pulling out the dagger again...
But, until the long arrow pierced her chest.
