The concubine is soft and delicate, making her the treacherous minister's white moonlight

Chapter 215 Who is he?

Lin Mowan's face stiffened a little, and she suddenly understood his plan. His purpose had never been to use her to deal with Shen Weiyuan. From the very beginning, his target was only her.

He was still smiling, so gently that it seemed as if the words just now did not come from his mouth. However, Lin Mowan shook her head in confusion and took a few steps back.

Seeing her retreat, Gongshu Beicheng narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly asked seriously, "Is this answer so important to you?"

Lin Mowan didn't comment, just looked at him warily.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "No matter who he is, he was sold to my Guangning Palace because he failed to protect you. You shouldn't care about him. The person you should care about is me."

Lin Mowan's expression gradually turned cold when she heard this, and she recalled the days in Guangning Palace.

She doesn't seem to be popular with everyone and is always the one who is isolated and bullied, but Gongshu Beicheng is always the one who saves her, every time.

Later, he asked her to assassinate the emperor, but lied that she was just a powerful official in the capital. When she was on the boat, she was stopped by the guards, but he drank with an indifferent expression, and even watched her being chased and then fell into the water calmly.

She looked at the person in front of her, and his past goodness flashed through her mind. She admitted that there were times when she felt regretful, but suddenly realized something.

Lin Mowan frowned, her expression somewhat dazed and enlightened. She murmured, "Why are you always so timely? You have never missed a single time, even outside the palace. Why do you always know where I am? Every time."

She gritted her teeth, and a terrible thought suddenly popped up in her mind. He was able to find her every time she was locked up, no matter how remote the place was, because it was him who ordered them to do so.

He wanted her to do things willingly for him, but later, she did as he wished, but why did he lie to her, let her assassinate the emperor and then watch her die.

"Why?" Lin Mowan asked him. She felt helpless and tired, but more confused.

But facing her like this, Gongshu Beicheng remained the same, just smiled gently, and said helplessly: "There are some things that you don't have to remember. You just need to remember that I am the only one who treats you sincerely. Nothing else matters. Are you willing to go back with me? As long as you say yes, I guarantee that Gongshu Yanyu will not dare to touch you."

When their eyes met, there was a hint of pleading in his gentle eyes. He looked so sincere and humble that it really made people feel pity. They wanted to throw themselves into his arms immediately and promise to never leave him.

But only Lin Mowan knew that this was just an expression. Even if what he said was true, it was just a means to achieve the ultimate goal.

She was very familiar with this feeling. There was no doubt that they were the same kind of people. What they said, what they thought, and what they did could be completely different things.

She didn't like herself like this, nor did she like him, so she shook her head and turned decisively to leave, but Gongshu Beicheng suddenly said: "Do you think I am discussing this with you?"

Lin Mowan paused slightly, a bad feeling gradually rising in her heart. When she turned around, she met his usual gaze.

Before the two men could react, a group of people holding crossbows rushed out from not far away and surrounded them.

Lin Mowan glanced at them and didn't seem surprised. Lin Tianxiao was shocked and could no longer bear it. He rolled up his sleeves and said angrily, "What do you mean? You won't let us go, right?"

Gongshu Beicheng glanced at him and replied calmly: "You can go, but she can't."

"You..." Lin Tianxiao was so angry that his teeth were itching. Of course he would not leave. He resolutely stopped in front of Lin Mowan and said, "Don't scare me. If you have the guts, let them shoot me into a sieve with arrows. Otherwise, don't even think about taking her away from me!" Seeing his heroic look, Gongshu Beicheng sneered and didn't care. Lin Mowan raised her hand and pushed him away again. When she looked up, there was no panic at all.

"Do you really think I will come to see you alone?" She did not deny that during the time she was in Prince Guangning's Mansion, she absolutely trusted him very much. So, when she woke up and saw the handwriting on the note, she decided to come when she recognized it.

Gongshu Beicheng narrowed his eyes slightly and did not say anything for the time being. Lin Mowan also stopped talking. Just when the situation was at a standstill, suddenly, the sound of galloping horses came from not far away, getting closer and closer.

Gongshu Beicheng had a bad premonition in his heart. Sure enough, when he looked up, he saw a group of people approaching quickly. Amid the dust, he could still see the person on the horse clearly. It was Bai Yun in snow-white armor.

His eyes darkened slightly. Bai Yun had already stopped with his men in front of a group of people holding crossbows. The two teams immediately drew their swords and pointed their knives at each other.

"Your Highness Prince Guangning, how are you?" Bai Yun, riding on a horse, bowed generously to acknowledge him. She had a sword on her waist and was wearing snow-white armor. She looked heroic and as high-spirited as a young girl.

Ever since Shen Weiyuan and Lin Qinhai turned against them, the Xiao family would definitely side with Shen Weiyuan, and Bai Yun would definitely stand on Shen Weiyuan's side, whether because of their childhood friendship or for the sake of the Xiao family.

No one in Gongshu's family would be surprised by this. What surprised Gongshu Beicheng was that Baiyun would appear here today. He really did not expect this step.

As he pondered, he laughed at himself, as if he had calmly accepted his miscalculation. He had originally come here just to take her away, but she didn't want to.

Lin Mowan was certain that he must know what happened that year, but he was unwilling to tell her, and she was unwilling to give up. As if it was her last effort, her voice could not help but be a little anxious: "Who was it? Who was that night?"

Gongshu Beicheng said nothing, but just looked at her calmly, just like how she had looked at Jiang Wenqing and Gongshu Tingyue calmly when they were madly questioning her.

Seeing that he was indifferent, she gritted her teeth, took a few steps forward, grabbed his collar and asked, "Who is it? Who is it? Is it him?"

She said the last sentence almost tremblingly, without specifying who that "he" was. But in fact, both of them knew who that "he" was.

Gongshu Beicheng looked at her, and a smile slowly appeared on his melancholy face. He looked at Lin Mowan affectionately, "I said, it's me."

Lin Mowan shook her head and slowly loosened her hand that was grabbing his collar. Confusion, anger, and helplessness all turned into a long sigh in the end.

She stepped back, trying to calm herself down, muttering: "No, it's not you, it's not..."

She didn't remember, but her intuition and the feeling at that time told her that it must not be Gongshu Beicheng.

There was an answer in her heart like a sprouted seed. She herself didn't know when it was planted, but she didn't have the courage to confirm it.

If it wasn't, he would know what happened in the past, and would also know that she had something to do with Gongshu Beicheng, but if it was, if it was really...

She knew that she couldn't get anything out of him. Today, they had completely fallen out with each other, and they wouldn't be able to interact as amicably as before in the future.

With Bai Yun around, Gongshu Beicheng's men did not dare to act rashly, and Lin Mowan got on the carriage smoothly.
