The captain of the guards respectfully cupped his hands to his eldest son.
"Since there's no sound coming from inside, why don't we go in and take a look?"
Boss Gu nodded.
Although their father had become somewhat eccentric after that incident, they did it for his own good.
I shouldn't be blamed too much, right?
So he led his men inside.
But just as I reached the door, I suddenly heard a loud shout from inside.
"Get out! All of you, get out!"
The voice sounded very familiar; it seemed to be their father's voice.
The hearts of Gu Laoda, Gu Laoer, and the guards behind them instantly relaxed!
Judging from that strong and energetic voice, he should be alright.
"You little bitch, let go of me!"
Lin Ru sneered, "Now that you're in my hands, you'd better shut your mouth."
"Those two outside must be your precious sons."
"I want to see if your precious son will care about your life."
Those outside who heard the woman's voice felt their hearts rise again, even though they had calmed down.
"You little vixen, you're still alive? Release my father right now!"
"Otherwise, as soon as you step out of this door, I'll teach you how to shoot a sieve."
Lin Ru noticed that the people outside didn't seem to suspect anything at all.
A smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
But his words remained serious and earnest!
"Then I'll see whether your arrow or my blade is faster."
“Marquis of Zhenxi! Open your eyes and look at your two precious sons. They can’t wait for you to die so they can take your place after you’re gone.”
"Otherwise, why would they provoke me at this time?"
"How ridiculous."
Gu Laoda didn't expect that even at this point, this little vixen would still have the mood to sow discord between him and his son.
This is infuriating!
He quickly explained, "Father, don't listen to this little vixen's nonsense. I will absolutely not let anything happen to you."
Lin Ru: "I don't believe you! Unless you come in and keep your father company right now."
"Or you just want to take his place!"
Gu Laoda felt like he was caught in a logical dilemma. If he didn't go in, it would be seen as an attempt to take his place. But if he did go in, there would be two hostages inside, making things even more complicated later.
Lin Ru continued, "I always said that at this time, there are no filial sons; they all want to save their own lives."
"Otherwise, how could I have led troops to guard the outside at such a dangerous time?"
"If it were me, I would definitely stand with my father through thick and thin."
"What a pity."
"Since we're going to die anyway, I'll take you with me."
After she finished speaking, she deliberately made the sound of drawing a sword so that people outside could hear it clearly.
Upon hearing the sounds inside, Boss Gu quickly spoke up to stop them.
"Stop! I'll let you go as long as you don't kill my father."
Lin Ru pried open the door a crack and peeked out to confirm, "Are you sure?"
"Then prepare a horse-drawn carriage for me."
"I want to leave the palace!"
Old Master Gu nodded hastily and shouted to the people behind him, "Didn't you hear me? Hurry up and prepare a carriage."
The commander of the guards felt that something was amiss.
But I can't remember it right now.
However, he knew that if he let this little vixen get away, there would be endless trouble in the future.
However, their king seemed to be under control, and apart from the first sentence he said, he didn't say another word.
What should we do?!
"Are you all deaf? I told you to prepare the carriage, do you want to just watch the king die?"
The guard captain immediately waved to the people behind him, telling them to quickly prepare a carriage.
The most important thing now is to save the king's life.
And so, they prepared a carriage and led it to the palace gate!
Afterwards, Lin Ru forced a man, who was completely covered by a cloak, onto the carriage!
Just as Boss Gu was about to make a move, another identical man, completely wrapped up, appeared behind him!
And then came the third one!
If these people hadn't been so tall, he probably wouldn't have been able to tell that they were men.
But which of these three people is his father?
I had planned to rescue my father after they got on the carriage, but now there are three of them in total.
It seems that a rescue operation will be quite difficult.
If the first person he saved wasn't his father, then there probably wouldn't have been a chance to save the second or third.
He was extremely anxious!
Are we just going to stand by and watch this little vixen leave?
But he dared not gamble!
Lin Ru was betting that he wouldn't dare!
And so they swaggered out of the palace in their carriage.
They walked straight toward the palace gate.
She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she always felt like there was a dark cloud hanging over her head.
Thunder and lightning raged within the clouds!
She dared not linger for a moment, and following the memory in her mind, she drove the carriage quickly toward the palace gate.
She sensed that someone was waiting for her at the palace gate!
Meanwhile, Boss Gu led his soldiers and quickly followed.
But the guard commander felt that something was amiss.
He watched the departing figures of those people, and then secretly walked to the palace!
The devastation inside was beyond his expectations.
Unexpectedly, all of these people were killed by that little vixen.
What surprised him even more was that all those officials were dead. He immediately began to suspect that if all those officials were dead, then who were the other two people who had been taken hostage, besides the king?
Moreover, both adults' wrists were cut off, seemingly in an attempt to stop someone.
And that eunuch Gao, his whole demeanor was as if he wanted to run away to the back hall!
There was also a long trail of blood on the ground. It followed the trail to the entrance of the back hall and saw a headless corpse.
He stared at the clothes on the corpse, his head spinning.
Especially the exposed skin of the corpse, with its bluish-purple marks, clearly belonged to the king!
He gripped the long knife tightly in his hand, and suddenly realized what was wrong. His family had gone through that incident the night before, and he couldn't speak at all. Even if he could speak, his voice was extremely hoarse!
The person who was brought onto the carriage spoke in a very loud voice, as if he wanted the people outside to hear him clearly!
Moreover, upon closer reflection, this person's voice is actually quite different from that of the Marquis of Zhenxi.
And that cunning sorceress, using the rumbling thunder outside as cover, killed their king right there inside the door.
He used his light-footed skills to run quickly towards the palace gate!
If this little vixen gets away, there will definitely be endless trouble in the future.
