The assassin let out a series of jeers, and the laughter echoed harshly in the room.
He didn't believe it.
The pill Ye Qi put into his mouth just now was probably poison. Can the poison force him to tell the truth?
He doesn't believe it!
Seeing that Pluto was ineffective, Chu Ling clicked her tongue helplessly.
She turned her head and poured a cup of tea for Gu Yechen, "Husband, drink tea. You will understand what happened after drinking this cup of tea."
Gu Yechen looked at the cup that had been handed to his lips, and originally wanted to take it, but unexpectedly, the woman exhaled like blue.
"Husband, let me feed you."
"..."
Before he had a chance to open his mouth to refute, the edge of the cup had already touched his thin lips.
This move seemed to threaten him into taking a sip.
Looking at Chu Ling, Gu Yechen finally took a sip.
Ye Qi was already blinded by the display of affection between the two of them as if no one was around. He carefully raised his sleeves to cover his eyes.
If he continued to look at it, he would wonder if he was going to get a needle eye...
"Ah!" At this time, the tied assassin suddenly let out an unknown scream.
Ye Qi looked at him in surprise.
The assassin's eyes became dull and lifeless.
He looked at a certain place and seemed to be looking at others through that place.
Chu Ling put down the cup and saw the change in the man's expression.
The assassin "looked at" Chu Ling dully, and suddenly kowtowed, "Young master, please spare my life. This subordinate is not doing well, so please punish me."
The sudden change and expression frightened Ye Qi so much that she dropped her sleeves.
Gu Yechen's pupils narrowed and he looked at the assassin.
"Ahem." Chu Ling cleared her throat and pretended to touch her chin, "Tell me, what did I tell you, and why is it so late to get things done?"
The assassin kowtowed repeatedly, "You asked me to take people from the Northern Liang Kingdom to Western Chu. They ambush the Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival, assassinate the regent, and poison them again, but the regent also buried people around."
Xiliang Kingdom...
Chu Ling subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Gu Yechen.
Unfortunately, the mask obscured his expression, except for the tight thin lips that showed his emotions...
"Since you know that the regent is difficult to deal with, why didn't you report it to me earlier? And you made me wait foolishly."
The assassin kowtowed as he spoke, "My lord, please forgive me. You said that you are from the palace. In the past, my subordinates did not dare to tell you, and it was impossible to enter the palace. You always left the palace to meet with your subordinates."
The more Chu Ling listened, the more she felt that things were getting serious.
It turned out to be someone from the Northern Liang Palace who sent an assassin to assassinate Gu Yechen.
What kind of hatred or resentment?
Ye Qi was also secretly shocked when he heard this.
Tonight is the Lantern Festival...
In previous years, the prince would not go to the lantern festival. He only went to the lantern festival tonight. These assassins were very sensible and lurked near the lantern festival. How did they know that the prince was going to the lantern festival tonight?
There are only two situations, either there is a spy in the house, or someone has listened to him, or that person is also good at calculating things?
"Pull it down." Gu Yechen said coldly.
Chu Ling pulled him and said, "Wait a minute."
She looked at the assassin who was still kowtowing, "Do you want to live?"
The assassin nodded repeatedly.
It can be seen that he is more afraid of his "young master" than he is afraid of the regent, as if that young master is more terrifying than Gu Yechen.
"Since you want to live, I'll give you a chance. If you draw my appearance and you're done, and I'm happy, I'll spare your life."
She asked Ye Qi to prepare pen and paper.
Ye Qi said in her heart that the princess was awesome.
Although I don’t know what magic pill the princess gave me, it’s great to find out the truth.
The assassin drew Chu Ling as the "gongzi".
Chu Ling waved her hand and asked Ye Qi to drag the person down.
Ye Qi glanced at the Regent until he received the murderous eyes of the Regent. He knew that this assassin could not stay.
Chu Ling spread out the portrait and asked, "Who is this?"
She has never seen it.
Gu Yechen also looked at the painting.
"This is the first bodyguard beside Emperor Beiliang."
"Ah, that man named First Sword." Chu Ling smacked her tongue in a low voice.
Regarding the number one sword guard around Emperor Beiliang, he has a special identity, mysterious and fast and accurate sword skills, and his frightening martial arts skills.
Emperor Beiliang mostly relied on this bodyguard to avoid many catastrophes.
Gu Yechen lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Do you recognize it?"
"Hey, this person is also famous, so I'm not surprised if I know that." Chu Ling secretly shuddered in his heart.
She recognized it, she had seen it before, of course it was in a previous life.
At this point in this life, she had not yet met Northern Liang Emperor.
Gu Yechen will definitely become suspicious.
As a result, the man did not ask further questions, his eyes narrowed and he whispered: "What was the medicine you just took?"
"Ah, that, that is a hallucinogenic drug. The person who swallows it will immediately imagine the person he most wants to see, or the person he is most afraid of. At this time, if anyone appears in front of him, he will think that it is his fantasy.
The people in it.”
"This is perfect for interrogation to avoid seeing blood."
When Gu Yechen heard this explanation, he knew the answer in his heart.
"It's getting late, you should go back and rest."
He pushed her away from his arms.
That's right, push it away directly.
Chu Ling was confused, with a little annoyance in her eyes, "Gu Yechen, do you dare to push me?"
"Be good." He also stood up and gently stroked her hair.
She came in a hurry, and her long black hair fell down to her waist. It was not tied up, and a few strands of black hair fell playfully on her cheeks, which actually greatly reduced her fierceness at this time.
Gu Yechen was not afraid of her being angry at all, but instead touched her head like a coaxing child.
Chu Ling pushed his big hand away in annoyance, glared at him angrily, and strode away.
She walked in such a hurry that she didn't see the man behind her curling his lips and smiling.
Not long after Chu Ling left, Ye Qi came back to resume his life.
"The assassin has been killed. Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
"Sent someone to get the medicine. How did it go?"
Ye Qi scratched his head, "Reporting to the prince, the cicada apricot is in the palace, but my subordinates have learned the exact news. Emperor Beiliang plans to hold an auction next month, and then the cicada apricot will be used as an auction item."
"Beiliang Emperor's treasury doesn't have enough money to spend, so he actually wants to hold an auction."
Ye Qi has always heard that Emperor Beiliang behaves erratically, and every time he does something unbelievable.
This time too...
"Do you think he's just doing it for the auction?" Gu Yechen glanced at him.
Ye Qi, who was stuck in his own thoughts, suddenly raised his head, "Are you saying...that they were deliberately setting up an ambush so that you would be tricked?"
"The news that this king is able to walk is blocked. Anyone who dares to leak the news will be killed without mercy."
…
Two days later.
Chu Ling took Magpie to the street to set up a stall and dressed up as a fortune teller.
She had to hurry up and gather all the evil spirits.
In the past two days, Gu Yechen ignored her and didn't come to see her. She felt more and more that Gu Yechen was mysterious and seemed to be planning something secretly?
However, she didn't ask.
Magpie suddenly pulled her aside and said, "Princess, look quickly, that is..." This chapter has been completed!
