Chapter 148: This is when people are most vulnerable
Gu Yan waved her hand and said, "Empress Sister-in-law!"
When Zhao Mingzhu approached, she heard An Yun's words. She looked at Gu Yan and couldn't imagine that she had smelly feet.
"I don't have smelly feet." Gu Yan blushed and said with a smile, "It's because I brought a pickled fish."
She said this and took out a cloth bag from her arms.
Zhao Mingzhu, who had just got on the carriage, suffered a fatal blow and held her breath for a moment.
An Yun's reaction was even more direct: "Princess, I'm going to stink to death."
Sorry, she didn't mean to offend people who love salted fish.
But this smells too much like a rat that died and rotted in a corner.
Gu Yan put it away and said, "I'm sorry, I ate too much before, and now I can't smell anything."
An Yun waved her handkerchief and asked, "Princess, do you like this?"
Gu Yan shook her head: "At that time, there were not many options in the imperial mausoleum, especially in winter."
The imperial mausoleum was built in a Feng Shui treasure land far away from human habitation.
There won’t be too many fresh fruits and vegetables, let alone in the cold winter.
An Yun fell silent. She didn't want to get involved in this topic.
Zhao Mingzhu said, "When His Highness was imprisoned, he couldn't even eat salted fish. It seems the princess is just as miserable as he is."
Actually not.
Gu Qingheng was obviously the most miserable one. At least Gu Yan was still eating food from the human diet.
Gu Yan looked at Zhao Mingzhu. Was she speaking up for Gu Qingheng? This was unexpected. She had escaped and was caught again.
She didn't even hate Gu Qingheng to the core.
Gu Yan smiled shyly: "It's all old stuff, let's not talk about it anymore."
"Princess, where do you want to get off the carriage?" Zhao Mingzhu looked at the bustling pedestrians on the street and turned around to ask.
Gu Yan sighed after hearing this: "Sister-in-law, why are you trying so hard to draw a line between you and me?"
"I thought that even if we weren't close friends, we could still be just normal friends, not to mention we're a family."
Zhao Mingzhu was really firm on this point from beginning to end and refused to give her any chance to take advantage of it.
This prevented her from giving Gu Yu a heartbreaking blow when he was barely surviving.
Zhao Mingzhu looked at Gu Yan. She and Gu Yu were actually like sisters, but Gu Yu was a little colder.
And Gu Yan is as likable as a little sister.
"Princess, friendship is exclusive."
"But my royal sister is not here. Can't I remain invisible when she is here?" There was pity in Gu Yan's eyes, but this could not shake Zhao Mingzhu.
She shook her head: "The princess is a beautiful woman, she wouldn't ask us to be her friends."
Even if Gu Yu is not around in the future, this position cannot be taken by Gu Yu's hated sister.
"Anzi'er, do you think so too?" Seeing that Zhao Mingzhu couldn't make sense, Gu Yan turned to look at An Yun.
An Yun couldn't help rubbing her arms. She wondered why she hadn't felt that this title gave her goose bumps so easily before.
An Yun smiled and grabbed her arm, saying naively, "I'm also a lackey following Mingzhu and the princess around. I was afraid they wouldn't let me play."
Don't ask her, she has no say in anything.
Gu Yan sighed deeply: "It's so sad. Then let me play with you for once, okay? I won't bother the emperor's sister-in-law anymore."
Zhao Mingzhu heard this and looked at the golden building outside. She touched her chin and said, "Okay."
Next, Gu Yan looked at the two people in front of her who were shopping non-stop, while her hands were full of things.
"Sister-in-law, where are your maids?"
She clearly saw that when Zhao Mingzhu came out, she was followed by a group of people.
"With you here, I'll let them go next door for tea." Zhao Mingzhu said without turning her head.
So they just want to take advantage of me?
Gu Yan was so angry that she laughed. A gloomy look flashed in her eyes about Zhao Mingzhu. No one had ever dared to tease her like this.
Zhao Mingzhu stood in front of the armlet and asked An Yun, "Do you think Gu Yu likes this?"
An Yun turned her head and gave a thumbs up: "It's fancy enough, she will definitely like it."
Zhao Mingzhu nodded with satisfaction and picked up the armlet. If placed under the sun, the armlet would blind people.
Don’t be fooled by Gu Yu’s cold appearance, he actually likes these flashy things.
At this time, An Yun suddenly frowned, covered her stomach and ran away.
When Zhao Mingzhu was ready to move to other places, An Yun had not returned yet.
"Fell into the toilet?" Zhao Mingzhu said to herself.
She waited for a while, but still didn't see An Yun come out, so she went to the backyard to look for someone.
"Royal sister-in-law?"
Gu Yan put her things away and chased after him, but Zhao Mingzhu was no longer in the backyard.
…
On the cliff behind Guoqing Temple, An Yun was tied to a pine and cypress tree, looking at the cliff below.
"You're brave enough to kidnap me, but you can't show up? You're a bunch of rats! If you have the guts, come and fight me head-on!"
Her voice echoed in the mountains, and then a figure appeared vaguely on the pear blossom path.
"Hey, help me..." But after seeing that it was Zhao Mingzhu, she was stuck.
Zhao Mingzhu climbed all the way up and looked at her: "Why, I'm here, and you're not happy?"
If someone else had come, An Yun would have been happy, but the one who came was Zhao Mingzhu, who was unarmed.
"Mingzhu, don't come over here, go away!"
At this point, An Yun felt that her pig brain had finally opened up. Why didn't the other party kill her but just tied her up here? It was obvious that he was trying to lure her out.
It is obvious at the moment that the target is Zhao Mingzhu.
"Hurry up, hurry up." An Yun urged anxiously.
Zhao Mingzhu did not retreat but advanced: "Anzi, you can't leave."
The man holding a dagger jumped down from behind Zhao Mingzhu and urged:
"Hurry over and stop talking nonsense."
An Yun watched her approach and asked, "Why didn't you run away when you realized something was wrong? Why did you have to take the risk yourself?"
"The other party left a letter saying that if I didn't come quickly to get help, I would be killed, so I chased after him without stopping."
"You are confused. Even though I know martial arts, I can't escape. What can I do if you come?"
An Yun felt sad. Zhao Mingzhu shouldn't have come, and one less person would have died.
Zhao Mingzhu didn't answer after hearing this, but asked: "Anzi, don't you know martial arts? Why were you kidnapped?"
An Yun looked clear-headed and didn't look like she had been drugged.
Mentioning this made An Yun angry: "They attacked me while I was in the toilet... I was poisoned by the muscle softening powder."
Now Zhao Mingzhu understood that this is when people are most vulnerable.
The man at the side finally spoke up, and he scolded in a low voice, "You're just chatting like this in a teahouse. I'll give you one chance. Who will live? Don't blame me for taking money from others."
The other party did not stop Zhao Mingzhu from untying An Yun, and asked fiercely with a dagger in his eyes.
Zhao Mingzhu looked back at the cliff and pushed An Yun out: "Let's take her."
"Are you sure?" The man in black was a little surprised that she didn't think about it.
An Yun was anxious after hearing this: "You can't die. How will I explain if you die?"
Zhao Mingzhu said seriously, "Stop messing around and leave quickly. This will be my way of repaying you for your help before."
After hearing this, An Yun's eyes were filled with tears but she was stubborn and refused to let them fall. She sniffed, gritted her teeth, and took off, jumping into the cliff holding Zhao Mingzhu.
Let’s die together.
