The Regent's little feral cat bites again

Chapter 28 Removing the Grinding and Killing the Donkey

The woman's expression changed, and the hand holding the sword became stronger, but she couldn't shake Gu Chengyuan at all.

At this very moment, the good opportunity was lost, Xiao Ling behind him quickly subdued the woman, not long after Shao Yun also surrounded the Hall of Supreme Harmony with many imperial guards, and began to search for any accomplices.

The woman seemed to know that today's assassination failed and there was no hope, so she sneered twice: "There's no need to search, I'm the only one who came today, and I just want Gu Chengyuan to pay for my sister's life!"

After finishing speaking, he looked coldly at the man who was still sitting on the couch, and a trace of mad hatred flashed in his eyes: "Gu Chengyuan, in the long night of severe winter, is it possible that there are lonely ghosts who died in vain asking for your life? "

"presumptuous!"

Before Gu Chengyuan opened his mouth, Gu Chengye, who was sitting opposite him, was already furious. He slapped the table and stood up: "Who are you? You know that assassinating the emperor's relatives is a crime that must be punished with death!"

Gu Chengye has always been at odds with Gu Chengyuan, this is something that the entire court knows, and now it is inevitable to get rid of suspicion by showing up at this time, several officials present looked at each other with different expressions, but they were all sensible did not participate in it.

Gu Chengyuan cast a vague glance at Gu Chengye, the corners of his mouth curled up in a slight mockery, and his long eyelashes drooped slightly, as if quietly watching them act.

When the woman heard Gu Chengye's threat, she didn't show any fear on her face, she just glared at Gu Chengyuan viciously,
"My sister died alone in the cold palace in such a cold winter, without even a whole body. Gu Chengyuan, you are in a high position, with so many lives in your hands, sooner or later you will be punished!"

Gu Chengye froze for a moment when he heard the words, as if he didn't realize who the woman was talking about.

Gu Sinian came over at some point, as if he had never seen such a thrilling scene, with a trace of timidity on his face, but he still forced himself to speak with fear, "You... your sister is... Concubine Qing?"

The woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded quietly: "Yes."

Gu Sinian sighed: "The decree...to beat...the concubine Qing...to the cold palace...was my...decree. If you come to avenge...revenge, you should find...zheng."

The woman smiled sarcastically: "There is a grievance and a debtor. If it weren't for Gu Chengyuan, how could my sister have come here? You are just a poor puppet emperor. The real caller is Gu Chengyuan, isn't it?"

Being ridiculed by the woman's merciless words, Gu Sinian's face turned pale, his cuffed hands clenched tightly, and he let go after a long time, and said calmly: "Come here, imprison...this girl...in the prison... Dali Temple, on the tenth day of the first lunar month...death...death penalty."

Then he looked at Gu Chengyuan, with a somewhat reserved face: "Seventeenth Emperor... Uncle Emperor, but... is it okay?"

Gu Chengyuan looked around indifferently, and then looked away for a moment: "Since the emperor is seeking justice for this king, why not?"

Then he stood up with some lack of interest: "It's getting late today, let's end the palace banquet here, and the king will go back first."

Under everyone's attention, Gu Chengyuan was in no mood as if he had been assassinated, and he still left the Hall of Supreme Harmony calmly.

The regent has already issued an order, and the officials couldn't stay any longer, so they saluted and hurried away from this place of right and wrong.

When Gu Chengyuan returned to Ting Yuxuan, Jing Shi was sitting by the couch coaxing Xiao Qi with a look of lovelessness.

"Xiaoqi, it's really late, are you sleeping well?"

Xiao Qi was still holding the wine glass, rolled his eyes at Jing Shi disdainfully, and stretched out his small fist as if to beat him, making Jing Shi on the opposite side annoyed and funny.

Seeing this scene, Gu Chengyuan suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart. From childhood to adulthood, his life was either swords, swords, or ambushes.

Circling in the vortex of power, his heart is more vicious and cold than anyone else.

He never thought that there would suddenly be such a small thing in his life, which made him seem to find such a little fun in the endless darkness.

"Xiaoqi."

Gu Chengyuan's clear and gentle voice sounded, Xuan Yinruo's blurred eyes on the couch lit up instantly, he poked his head out and looked towards the door, and when Gu Chengyuan approached, he handed over the wine glass in his hand to the door. In front of him, looking at him expectantly.

"Still want to drink?"

The corner of Gu Chengyuan's mouth curled up, and he rubbed Xuan Yinruo's little head happily.

Xuan Yinruo's eyes lit up, he nodded hurriedly, and his little snow-white tail began to wag slowly again.

"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow." Gu Chengyuan took the cup from his arms, "Go to sleep now."

As soon as he heard that he could drink, Xuan Yinruo immediately lay down obediently, closed his eyes tightly, his long eyelashes fluttered slightly, occasionally opened a small arc to look at Gu Chengyuan, and quickly closed his eyes after being discovered.

"..."

Jing Shi collapsed on the side of the couch, and complained a little weakly: "I just coaxed it here for half an hour, and it refuses to sleep."

Gu Chengyuan only said one sentence, which is...

So where did he lose?

Gu Chengyuan glanced at him calmly: "It's getting late, I'll have someone prepare a carriage to take you home."

"..."

Is this the legendary killing of donkeys?

"Aren't you going to have a drink with me?" Jing Shi curled his lips, accusing Gu Chengyuan like a resentful woman.

Gu Chengyuan's cold eyes did not fluctuate: "I'm going to the military camp tomorrow, so I can't be hungover."

"That's it."

Jing Shi nodded, expressing his understanding, then remembered something, glanced at him in surprise, then looked at Xuan Yinruo who was already asleep on the bed, "Are you going to take Xiao Qi to the military camp tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Gu Chengyuan nodded lightly, "There is a fruit wine nearby that tastes good, and it's not easy to get drunk."

Jing Shi squinted his eyes: "You don't want to use Xiao Qi to do something again, do you?"

It's a good idea to take it to the barracks to drink, which is a bit abnormal no matter how you look at it.

Gu Chengyuan glanced at him, didn't even bother to argue a word, turned and left Ting Yuxuan.

Looking at his leaving back while watching the scene, he was thoughtful.

Could it be that what he said that day moved Gu Chengyuan?Made him deeply aware of his mistakes, so he started to make up for it?
This is how people are, when they think of an answer to a doubt, they will involuntarily try their best to affirm it.

For example, at the scene at this moment, I deeply felt that all this was due to myself, so I proudly puffed out my chest, turned my eyes to look at the white cat who was sleeping soundly, and muttered to myself with relief,

"Xiao Qi, how grateful you would be to me if you knew the truth."
-
Gu Chengyuan naturally didn't know about Jing Shi's powerful brain power, since Ting Yuxuan came out, Xiao Ling just found out the identity of today's female assassin and rushed back to Huaqing Palace.
