Chapter 161 The Lady is Well-Groomed
Gu Yan pulled up her face towel and quietly went to the kitchen in the backyard, where a maid was pouring hot water into a teapot with her back to her.
She walked over, knocked the man unconscious with a knife, then took off his coat and put it on herself.
Then they dragged the person into a dark place, tied him up and gagged him.
Her eyes fell on the maid. If it were in the past, she would have killed her just in case, but today the focus was to take Gu Qingheng's life.
She left with the tea.
Naturally, he didn't realize that the maid who had fainted behind him had opened her eyes.
In Tingchao Courtyard, Gu Yan, disguised as a maid, came to the door with her head lowered and holding tea. Changhe reached out to stop her.
"do what?"
Gu Yan said in a normal tone, "The judge said to feed His Highness some medicinal tea in half an hour."
She had heard from Shuangyun that this Changhe River always stayed by Gu Qingheng's side, like a hen protecting her chicks.
Sure enough, Changhe reached out to take the tea: "I'll go."
As expected, Gu Yan was not panicked. She handed him the teacup.
"I will wait here. Call me if the Changhe guards have any instructions."
Changhe nodded lightly, then turned around and was about to go in with the teacup. He turned around again and poured some tea for her.
"This is a special time, drink."
Gu Yan's eyebrows twitched, she nodded, took it, and drank it all under Changhe's gaze.
She tipped the cup downwards to indicate she had finished it.
But Changhe was clearly not someone to be trifled with. He glanced at her and ordered, "Open your mouth."
Gu Yan twitched the corners of her mouth and opened her mouth wide. After Chang He was sure he had swallowed it, he said, "What did you eat? It stinks of feces."
Gu Yan: Damn it.
Why didn't Su Lu poison Chang He as well?
Changhe took a sip cautiously, then pushed the door open and walked in.
Before going in, Gu Yan admired the moon in the sky and couldn't help humming in her heart. She thought today would be her lucky day in the future.
one two three.
There was a thud in the room, and Gu Yan laughed. She had known this would happen, so she had specially imitated a Qiankun pot in the shape of one in the palace.
It never hurts to be cautious.
She had been waiting for this day for an unknown amount of time. Gu Yan walked in, crossed the long river, and headed straight for the inner room.
On the other side, Zhao Mingzhu was drowsy sitting in the carriage when the carriage suddenly stopped outside.
There was a sound of fighting outside. Zhao Mingzhu stuck her head out and looked. Yinzhu was fighting with a man in black.
"Princess, please leave quickly."
Yinzhu blew a whistle, and the horse raised its hooves and ran away, pulling Zhao Mingzhu with it.
Zhao Mingzhu held on to the carriage tightly, then grabbed the reins and drove the horse towards the Duke's Mansion.
But at this moment, someone landed on the top of the carriage. Zhao Mingzhu looked up and said in surprise, "Ayu."
But Zhao Mingzhu soon realized that the other party had bad intentions, and heard Ah Yu say, "Miss, I said that if we meet again, I will not show mercy."
At first, he followed Zhao Mingzhu and appeared when she went to fetch water. He told her that Gu Qingheng was just acting and was using his own tricks to make her feel soft-hearted.
"Miss, why don't you come with me?"
Zhao Mingzhu heard this and glanced at the dagger at her collarbone. She nodded and said, "It's obvious why I shouldn't go with you."
No matter how crazy Gu Qingheng was, she was absolutely sure that the other party came all the way here not to take her life.
But Ayu, the poor guy whom she thought she had just rescued, was actually the one who had been plotting for a long time.
Compared to Gu Qingheng, is he trustworthy at all?
Follow him and your building will be sheltered from the wind.
Ah Yu also understood what she meant, and then sighed and said, "Miss, you are right."
He was working for Gu Yan and was already on the opposite side of them.
Ah Yu did not remove the dagger, but urged: "Miss, you follow quietly. If our master succeeds, I will let you go."
Zhao Mingzhu frowned after hearing this. Could it be that A Yu's master is Gu Yan?
As soon as she thought of it, she asked directly: "Who is your master? Even though Gu Xun is dead, you still have to be loyal to him?" She said this deliberately.
Ah Yu tied her hands and whispered, "It used to be."
But now it’s not that, it’s Gu Yan.
Zhao Mingzhu was basically certain in her heart. She looked back at her tightly bound hands and saw that those hostages were able to break free easily. Why couldn't she?
Her hands were rubbed red, and she finally gave up because she had no desire to live.
A Yu jumped out of the carriage and reached out to help Zhao Mingzhu down, but was refused.
"Get out of the way, I'll jump down by myself. It's not right for men and women to touch each other." Zhao Mingzhu jumped down after saying that. Damn it, they even tied her feet, not giving her any chance to escape.
Ah Yu led her into an unfamiliar house. Zhao Mingzhu leaned against a pillar and said, "I've at least been kind to you. As the saying goes, a drop of kindness is repaid with a spring. Is this how you repay me?"
Ah Yu stood across from her and said, "I've already let him go once, and I haven't received any wages except for cleaning up the shit."
He went to Zhao Mingzhu's place and did everything from chopping wood, lighting fires, cooking, sweeping the floor, and cleaning up the cat's poop.
Zhao Mingzhu's eyes wandered, but she said confidently:
"Didn't I give you that when I bought you? You and your labor are mine to use as I please. You didn't get paid in the first place, and I even provide for your food, drink, and toilet needs. What are you dissatisfied with?"
"You should be grateful. If I hadn't fallen into your trap, how would you have explained it to your boss?"
Ah Yu said slowly, "If you hadn't fallen into the others' trap, the others would have taken a vacation."
Zhao Mingzhu: ...
"That's because I'm a pushover, and my kindness wasn't rewarded."
Zhao Mingzhu learned her lesson. No wonder novels say that men cannot be saved casually.
The two of them stopped talking for a while. Zhao Mingzhu said boredly, "Is it better for you to work for others than to follow me?"
Ah Yu shook her head: "The monthly salary is high, but my life is in danger."
Every mission he goes on may be his last day alive.
Zhao Mingzhu shrugged after hearing this: "That doesn't sound very good. Why don't you just defect and follow me?"
Ah Yu looked at her and said, "You don't give me the monthly silver."
Zhao Mingzhu:...I deserve to die. Why was I so stingy back then?
"No, if you let me go, I will give you five times the monthly salary in the future." Zhao Mingzhu said excitedly.
But Ayu shook her head.
Knowing that this idea had a very low chance of success, Zhao Mingzhu felt hopeless and just sat on the steps looking at the moon.
"What if your master fails?" she asked curiously.
Ah Yu said coldly: "Kill you."
Gu Yan was so cruel and ruthless that she was prepared for failure even if she thought she was foolproof, including killing Zhao Mingzhu.
She wanted to make Gu Qingheng lose his love and regret it for the rest of his life.
After hearing this, Zhao Mingzhu looked at the moon and said, "The moonlight shines brightly on my bed, I wonder if it is frost on the ground."
Ah Yu nodded: "Miss, you are very talented in writing."
Zhao Mingzhu continued:
"Look closer, kid, it'll blow you back twenty-five feet."
Ayu: ...
