Chapter 62: Dogs See Meat and Bones
"That man looked at you like a dog at a bone. What did you say to him?"
Gu Yu didn't look back and said nonchalantly: "Guess."
"I won't guess. If you guess wrong, you'll call me a fool in your heart. I won't give you this chance."
"You actually knew that?" Gu Yu was surprised.
An Yun yelled, "You often look at me like I'm stupid, but I'm not blind."
But she has always been generous and doesn't bother with them.
In Tingchao Courtyard, An Yun said excitedly:
"That's the cream boy."
"That's called a cream boy." Zhao Mingzhu corrected her. When did she ever say the word cream boy?
The difference of one word changed the taste. Zhao Mingzhu thought of the cream boy and the spicy prince...
"Anyway, I think he definitely has feelings for our princess. It's as if the princess would just wave and he would come running over with his tail wagging."
Zhao Mingzhu slapped her thigh and said, "It's so clever! I wasn't there, what a pity I didn't see it."
She glanced at Gu Yu out of the corner of her eye, then recalled Bo Ling. The two of them still looked compatible.
Gu Yu stood aside, listening to the two people whispering, and said unhappily:
"You two still have time to talk nonsense. Don't you think about the seriousness of this incident? You, my sister-in-law, almost became a sacrifice."
Zhao Mingzhu came back to her senses. She was also innocent:
"This is an unexpected disaster. No matter how much I pay attention to it, I can't avoid it."
Gu Yu crossed his arms and said, "Do you really think it was an accident? Then why did I hear that someone was caught at the horse farm and the body was already cold?"
Zhao Mingzhu was stunned after hearing this: "Who gave the order?"
"My brother, his men went to the horse farm and within a few minutes they had captured a eunuch. They said he had a grudge against you and was filled with resentment, so they drove a nail through the horse's hoof to drive it mad, creating the illusion that you had died accidentally."
Zhao Mingzhu had actually guessed this, and she suddenly remembered the dead mouse in her textbook.
Then, Zhao Mingzhu shrugged: "It seems that there are indeed many people who want to kill me."
Gu Yu stared at her: "Do you think that eunuch is the mastermind?"
Zhao Mingzhu's domineering behavior is as easy as eating and drinking water. There are indeed many people who hate her, but in recent years, only this eunuch has actually taken action against her.
"Maybe yes, maybe not." Zhao Mingzhu stretched lazily and answered casually.
Gu Yu really couldn't bear to see this man's carelessness, and choked:
"If you're so careless and one day your head and body are torn apart, I won't even go to your funeral. Giving you a tattered mat is the best way to preserve our friendship."
An Yun looked around at the two of them. Who should she speak up for?
An Yun selected the troops and generals in her mind and finally decided who to help.
"Gu Yu, is it possible that Mingzhu is not indifferent? Even if she is, there is nothing we can do. Her brain is only slightly smarter than mine. She is also completely clueless about such a complicated matter."
Zhao Mingzhu tilted her head to look at An Yun, smiling with tears in her eyes:
"Anzi still understands me, but next time, can you please not compare yourself with me?"
Gu Yu really felt frustrated, especially when she saw that these two people were quite self-aware, she felt even more frustrated.
Even scolding them seemed to make her seem inconsiderate.
"I'm too lazy to tell you. I'm going back to the palace."
Gu Yu's skirt twirled as she ignored them and went back to sort out the people who hated Zhao Mingzhu.
After a long time, Gu Yu had no choice but to give up. It was just too much.
The line can reach the city gate.
…
Seeing that Gu Yu was about to leave, An Yun also stood up: "Aren't you going to say goodbye to Creamy Xiaofang?"
"He's a pretty boy."
Zhao Mingzhu corrected it again from behind.
Gu Yu left without looking back, and An Yun followed closely behind. Zhao Mingzhu watched them leave.
Then the playful smile on his face faded.
"Qiao'er, prepare something for me. I'll need it in a while."
After nightfall, a man in black appeared outside the stable, bent over and sneaked in, and then saw a pool of blood in the stable.
The man in black trembled as he took out paper money and incense sticks:
"I'm sorry for implicating you. Don't blame me even if you go to hell." Fortunately, he owed him a life, so he refused to give him up.
But just as she blew the fire stick, a person jumped out from the surroundings, and the man in black was stunned... Changhe, the prince's attendant.
The man in black retreated in panic and turned around to run away, but Changhe moved like lightning, grabbed his shoulder and threw him against the wooden pillar.
The man in black covered his chest and tried hard not to make any sound, but the severe pain still made him groan.
"Sure enough, there is a mastermind." Changhe reached out to pull away the black veil.
The man in black's eyes were gray. It was over, everything was over.
But suddenly a nimble figure appeared, blocked Chang He, and started fighting with him.
Changhe broke free from the fight. The other party threw a smoke ball, stepped back, picked up the half-dead person lying on the ground, jumped onto the roof and ran away.
When Changhe chased after them, the two had already disappeared.
In the quiet alley late at night, the night watchman passed by and said: "It's dry, be careful with fire..."
"Ahem." The man in black grabbed the collar of his shirt and could faintly taste a sweet and fishy smell.
I'm afraid I was seriously injured after falling in Changhe.
But what worries me most right now is whether this person is a friend or an enemy? Why did he save me?
"When we get there, I'll drop you off here. It's already very close to your home."
The man's voice was hoarse, but he said something scary.
"How do you know my family? Who are you?" Su Lu couldn't help but asked.
But the other party jumped on the roof and said: "This is not something you should know. Just know that you and I have the same enemy."
Su Lu took two steps forward. She was unwilling to let the other party know everything while she knew nothing.
But that person had already disappeared and his whereabouts were unknown.
“Damn it!”
Su Lu stamped her feet in anger. She didn't feel happy at all about surviving the disaster. She just felt a chill on her back.
She couldn't sleep or eat because such a handle on her fell into the hands of someone whose origin she had no idea about.
But there was no way at the moment, Su Lu quickly took off the black clothes and put them into the bag.
At this time, a carriage passed by, and Lei Ruoshui saw her when he was bored.
"Lulu, why are you here?"
It was already very late and she had just returned from Li Can's house. Unexpectedly, she ran into Su Lu.
Su Lu reluctantly said, "I couldn't sleep, so I sneaked out to relax."
This statement was really untenable, and Lei Ruoshui was careless and didn't care: "Hurry up and come up, I'll take you home later."
Su Lu smiled shyly: "Thank you Ruoshui."
She struggled to climb onto Lei Ruoshui's carriage. Lei Ruoshui patted her shoulder without a second thought and said casually:
"Really? Why are you being so polite to me?"
The pain in her chest caused Su Lu to twist her face:
"...Yes, Ruoshui, you are so kind."
Lei Ruoshui waited for her to sit down and then talked about what happened today:
"Luckily, I was able to find the Imperial Guards in time. An Yun must come to my house with a generous gift and thank me in person!"
Otherwise, Zhao Mingzhu might have been injured.
Su Lu forced a smile after hearing this, but it didn't show in her eyes:
"Ruoshui, haven't we always been at odds with them? Why are you helping Zhao Mingzhu?"
Lei Ruoshui didn't even think about it: "But it's not to the point of watching her die."
They did argue with each other, but that was all.
If she were to die one day, she believed that An Yun and the others would not stand by and watch her die.
After all, they hated each other over the years, but the most they had ever done was a fight.
"Well, Ruoshui, you are so kind."
Su Lu's expression was cold. If it weren't for Lei Ruoshui's help, Zhao Mingzhu might have really died today.
