Chapter 1736 The past between Gu Zibei and Tingtong
At that time, Gu Zibei used his master's connections to enter the Jin Dynasty's court and served as a sixth-grade junior military general.
He only experienced two or three small battles, and although he won all of them, no one remembered his name. He was an unknown little person.
But one time, Gu Zibei returned to Beijing victorious and was appreciated by his superiors but jealous of his colleagues.
So, at the party, Gu Zibei was deliberately led into the elegant room where the princess rested.
After he entered, the door was locked outside.
Inside the house, Tingtong was wearing green clothes and half lying on the soft couch.
She exhaled heavily from her red lips, her eyes were blurred, and her pointed eyebrows were furrowed, as if she was in pain.
She pulled open a small piece of the collar of her clothes, revealing her snow-white skin.
Something was wrong. Gu Zibei immediately turned around and pushed the door, only to find that the door didn't move at all.
He tried to push and pull the window again, but it was still in vain!
Tingtong endured the unbearable pain that burned in her body.
She held on to her last shred of reason and watched Gu Zibei warily looking for a way out of the house.
"It's useless," Tingtong said in a charming and hoarse voice, "I just checked and I can't get out."
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Gu Zibei turned around and looked at the woman in the room.
He frowned coldly, recognizing Ting Tong's appearance.
"Sixth Princess, is that you?"
She had saved Gu Zibei's master and was his benefactor.
Gu Zibei took a step closer to her.
Tingtong immediately became nervous. She pretended to be angry and scolded: "Don't come over!"
Even though he wanted to scare the opponent away, his voice was weak and weak, and he looked like a jumping and struggling rabbit.
Gu Zibei stopped one step away from her.
With a calm look on his face, he looked up and down, and he knew what kind of plot she had fallen into.
In the Jin Dynasty's court, such a shameful method was used to deal with a princess?
Gu Zibei's eyes turned cold when he thought of this.
He calmly spoke: "The princess was drugged, and I was deliberately brought into this house. It seems that we have all been set up."
"The most urgent task now is for the princess to tell me how you got the drug and who did it."
"Although I never claim to be a gentleman, I will never take advantage of others' danger. I just want to get out. We have to find a way together, otherwise it will be too late when others come."
Tingtong and Gu Zibei had never met each other.
She saved the old man named Lei before, but Gu Zibei had trouble entering the inner palace, so he asked someone to send him a thank you gift.
Occasionally, when we met at banquets, he was always neither humble nor overbearing, silent and respectful.
I didn't expect to get close to her because of this.
Looking into Gu Zibei's dark and calm eyes.
Tingtong's face turned red. She endured the discomfort and whispered: "I'm not feeling well. I came here to rest and drank a cup of tea handed to me by the maid next to the Queen."
"My adoptive mother is Concubine Liu. She is competing with the Queen for the opportunity to accompany the Emperor to worship ancestors."
Not long ago, the queen's mother's family was involved in a murder case.
Two old men were beaten to death in the street. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was Huang Tong, the eldest son of the Huang family.
After Jin Emperor Sima Wen found out, he was very angry about this.
The annual ancestor worship ceremony is about to come, and the queen is worried that due to the influence of her family, she will lose the right to accompany the emperor to worship the ancestors.
And Concubine Liu was favored and had three princes under her knees, so she was very powerful.
After Gu Zibei heard this, he only pondered for two seconds before analyzing the situation.
"So, the queen wants to damage your reputation and blame Concubine Liu for improper upbringing?"
