Gu Zhao recalled Xing Qiang's tragic and horrific death and fell silent for a moment.

Qin Youzhen seemed to feel something: "Did you see him? How did he die?"

Before Xing Qiang set out, he swore to Gu that if things were not harmonious, he would rather disfigure himself and kill himself than let anyone know that the matter was related to Gu.

I don’t know what happened at that time, so that his identity was exposed and almost ruined Gu’s big event?

Gu Zhao originally didn't want to elaborate on the tragedy of the scene, but after hearing Qin Youzhen's true thoughts, he raised his eyebrows, "I did find a deceased person at the scene who had similar appearance to the one described by His Highness."

Qin Youzhen suddenly concentrated his attention, "He, he..." His voice was choked up, as if he was very sad about the death of his confidant, "Did he die painfully?"

Gu Zhao nodded and solemnly emphasized, "It's very painful."

Standing next to Gu Zhao, Qin Xinglie, who was always prepared to deal with Qin Youzhen's rudeness, tried hard to hold back his smile.

He followed Gu Zhao to the deserted temple, and naturally thought of the deceased Xing Qiang from Qin Youzhen's description just now. Gu Zhao and Xing Qiang died in "very pain", which is not an exaggeration at all.

Among the many dead people Qin Xinglie has seen, Xing Qiang's death state ranks among the top.

However, Qin Xinglie couldn't hold back his laughter not because of this, but because Gu Zhao didn't fall for Qin Youzhen's deception.

Qin Xinglie knew that Gu Zhao was smart, but after all, Gu Zhao was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with little experience in grasping people's hearts, let alone how those who grew up in the palace would play with people's hearts for their own purposes.

Just like Qin Youzhen's current situation, from the most noble prince to almost becoming a prisoner of the country's subjugation, Gu Zhao has seen the most miserable and embarrassing aspects of his life.

When he lost his composure, became angry, and was confused in front of Gu Zhao, would Gu Zhao be moved by his emotions and sympathize with him? Qin Xinglie was really worried.

Because he knew that Gu Zhao had a tough appearance but a gentle heart.

When Qin Youzhen was at the top, Gu Zhao would not flatter him; but when Qin Youzhen fell into the dust, maybe Gu Zhao could not help but give him a hand.

Gu Zhao had no idea that as long as she stretched out her hand, she would be held tightly by someone who had been struggling in the quagmire of darkness since she was a child, and would never let go until she died.

Isn't that what Qin Xinglie is like? Gu Zhao is the only light in his dark life, the only sugar in his bitter life, the only wind in his suppressed life... That's why he would rather hide his identity,

Follow her side all the time.

So Qin Xinglie had been very nervous just now, more nervous than when Qin Youzhen proposed to Gu Zhao when he was still the prince.

As a result, Gu Zhao only said four words, "very painful", and all Qin Xinglie's worries disappeared.

Gu Zhao was not deceived by Qin Youzhen's methods. She still didn't like Qin Youzhen, so she had no regard for Qin Youzhen's feelings.

Qin Youzhen's expression darkened, his mouth slightly opened, and his free hand pressed on his chest, as if these four words made him breathless.

Gu Zhao didn't seem to notice his pain, and continued to describe Xing Qiang's death: "He was bitten to death by many people... He should be a master of swordsmanship and killed the enemy, but because there were so many people on the other side, he was killed.

The man jumped on him regardless of life and death, and his arms, ears, face and neck were all bitten with holes..."

"Bai He from the He Control Department, who knows how to conduct autopsies, said that after his limbs were bitten to pieces, he did not die immediately. It was not until his blood drained that the long period of pain and torture ended."

As Gu Zhao described, Qin Youzhen's face became paler and paler, and in the end, he couldn't help but retching.

Is Gu Zhao deliberately torturing Gu? She has a lot of dissatisfaction with Gu Zhen. It seems that it is better to be wary of her in the future.

"Stop talking, stop talking." Qin Youzhen struggled to pull out the hand held by Gu Zhao's wrist, ran to the side and retched for a long time.

It's a pity that there are only three of them in the secret room. Gu Zhao and Qin Xinglie are not people who would take the initiative to serve His Highness the Crown Prince. They all choose to watch indifferently and refuse to even express condolences.

Qin Youzhen retched for a long time. Just as he was about to get up, he remembered the scene described by Gu Zhao and couldn't help but vomited again.

But Gu Zhao and Qin Xinglie still acted as if they hadn't seen anything. One was sitting and the other was standing, with no intention of coming over to take care of him.

Qin Youzhen finally stopped retching, turned around in embarrassment, sat down at the table, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and gargled his mouth.

Gu Zhao wanted to say something more, but Qin Youzhen quickly raised his hand to stop him, spit the tea in his mouth into the spittoon next to him, and said quickly, "Stop, stop, Mr. Gu, please stop talking."

His testing of Gu Zhao could end here.

Gu Zhao had no sympathy for his current embarrassing situation, and it was almost impossible for him to get He Zheng's support through Gu Zhao.

If in the past, a small official from the He Control Department dared to tease the prince, he would definitely punish him severely.

But in the current situation, he no longer has the ability to establish Gu Zhao as an enemy with He Zheng as his backer.

"If Mr. Gu no longer needs Xing Qiang's body, I want to send someone to collect it and bury it properly." Qin Youzhen sighed, his eyes heavy, "He died because of me."

"If I hadn't believed the news from the informant, he wouldn't have had to die. What's more, he died so miserably."

Gu Zhao's expression was calm and calm. "Then does His Highness have any doubts about the target? Who do you think is most likely to devise such a conspiracy against you?"

Qin Youzhen glanced at Gu Zhao, hesitantly.
