With the cold dagger across her neck, Gu Yu subconsciously froze her body. At this moment, she turned her back to the person behind her, and couldn't see her face clearly at all. After hearing the voice, she could only purse her lips slightly.
Gu Yu knew that the original owner was someone who had seen the world, so he must not show timidity when facing the assassin. So even though she was panicked to death, Gu Yu still asked in a cold voice: "You are so brave, do you know where this is?"
The curtain was slightly blown by the wind, and the bath tub in the hall was filled with mist. Xie Xiao smelled the faint plum fragrance on Gu Yu's neck, and paused with his fingertips.
But before he could think about it, the heat in his stomach made people frown again.
The effect of the medicine was so violent that even Xie Xiao, a person with few/desires/desires, was a little hard to restrain. From his angle, he can see the snow-colored skin, which is so delicate that it makes one's heart skip a beat.
He tightened his grip on the dagger, and after Gu Yu's questioning, he said in a hoarse voice: "This is the Empress Dowager's bedroom." He spoke very slowly, but his voice was hoarse, as if he was forcing Endure what.
Under such circumstances, Gu Yu inexplicably felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.
But the dagger straddling her neck made her unable to turn her head back, Gu Yu could only say coldly: "Since you know, you might save your life if you let go now, if you wait until the imperial army arrives..."
The hibiscus snow-covered face of the beauty under her palm is as if covered with ice, just one glance makes people tremble. But Xie Xiao is not the kind of person who is afraid of death. He even said that after many years of fighting on the battlefield, he has long been used to seeing blood, and now seeing Gu Yu's murderous profile, his heart beats faster.
He even asked her unconsciously: "What if the imperial army comes?"
"The Queen Mother looks like this, I'm afraid she doesn't want to be seen by the second person."
The slightly warm breath brushed past her ears, and Gu Yu's eyes turned colder after hearing the assassin's words. I feel that this person simply doesn't pay attention to her.
The accumulated wrist secretly exerted force. In the previous world, because it was the modern age, Gu Yu had to conform to the persona and pretend to be an ordinary person. But here, the original owner was originally from a family of generals, and it made sense to know some martial arts.
Gu Yu subconsciously asked herself if she could use force before realizing that she was in a cold war with the system. Fortunately, the system did not choose to laugh at her at this time, but said with a smile in his voice: "You need to pay attention, the range of your force does not exceed the physical limit of the original owner."
It means that the original owner only knows a little basic martial arts, and Gu Yu can't perform too well.
Gu Yu understood what he meant, and couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth. However, the tense body did relax.
In the next second, she flicked her wrists, grabbed the palm on her neck, took a step back, and turned to avoid it.
Xie Xiao didn't expect that she would make a sudden move, and when he didn't notice for a while, she succeeded. The dagger turned over, and a bloody gash was drawn on the hand, dripping down the wrist.
After Gu Yu got out of trouble, she turned around and saw a man with a familiar figure in front of her. Even though she was wearing a mask, Gu Yu recognized her at a glance.
"Xie Xiao?" She frowned, her eyes completely cold.
Seeing that it had been exposed, Xie Xiao stopped pretending and reached out to take off the mask. The mask of unknown material was taken off, revealing a serious and romantic face.
Xie Xiao smiled slightly, his expression unchanged, and said: "I didn't expect to be recognized by the Queen Mother."
Gu Yu wanted to complain about his attire, did ancient people really think that wearing a mask covering half of his face would make others unrecognizable
But even thinking about it like this, she just turned cold on the face and asked: "I don't know why King Mobei is dressed like this, why is he coming to the palace at this time?"
The patter of rain outside, reflecting the dark sky, made Gu Yu's cold and unkind face even more apparent. The scorching heat in his belly made Xie Xiao sweat slightly on his forehead.
But he still smiled and said: "I just went to the wrong place, I don't know if the Queen Mother is trustworthy?"
He said it calmly, but Gu Yu was a little choked up. Only a fool would believe such nonsense. Going to the wrong place, just walking to your own bedroom
Gu Yu felt that the male protagonist was not looking for a reason. That is to say, he came to plead for the matter of Zhou Yi just now, which is more reliable than this.
Gu Yu looked at him without saying a word, but the coldness in his eyes already explained everything.
But this time, she was indeed wrong.
Xie Xiao did come here by accidentally going the wrong way. When he came back from the army, he happened to meet Zhou Yi who was pushed from outside the hall to the dungeon. Out of curiosity, he stopped in his tracks and asked what was going on.
Gritting his teeth with hatred from the bottom of his heart, Zhou Yi kept his head down, not daring to look at the eyes of the palace people around him, until he heard Xie Xiao's voice.
As always, the clear voice was very familiar, and Zhou Yi clenched his palms tightly, resentment, inferiority complex and unwillingness to be humiliated surged into his heart.
When she was dragged out of the hall, Zhou Yi was tormented by His Majesty's cold and merciless gaze. Looking at the handsome man in front of her, her thoughts changed again and again, and she slowly made a decision.
When Xie Xiao asked, he looked sad and pitiful, and slowly raised his head.
Because of being dragged out, her forehead was red and swollen, her hair was loose, and she looked much more embarrassed than in the past/refinement/refinement.
Xie Xiao frowned, and then she listened to Zhou Yi's grievance and crying that she was wronged. She didn't mention a single word why she was imprisoned by the queen mother, she only asked Xie Xiao to save him.
He even said that he was willing to pay any price.
Xie Xiao originally planned to leave, but Zhou Yi grabbed the hem of his clothes and couldn't move. The guards on the side didn't dare to urge him when they saw the King of Mobei, so they could only stay in the garden first.
Zhou Yi said pitifully, the tears on his delicate face became more weak, as if he was the last straw for her. At this time, she had already started to use her usual most disdainful appearance, even though she was humiliated in her heart, she still looked at Xie Xiao beggingly.
But unexpectedly, Xie Xiao didn't fully believe her. After these few days, he had gotten to know Gu Yu a little bit, and knew that she would do things for a reason.
There must be something she didn't say about sending Zhou Yi to prison.
He looked at the guards aside and asked the two to talk.
The imperial guards looked at each other, but still truthfully recounted what happened in the hall today, without any embellishment. After all, these are facts, even if they don't say it, it's the same for King Mobei to ask others casually.
Seeing that he didn't believe him, Zhou Yi turned slightly pale.
Xie Xiao asked after listening to the two of them with downcast eyes: "You mean that Mr. Zhou kidnapped the second miss of the Gu family yesterday?"
There was no emotion in his voice, and the imperial guard nodded.
Zhou Yi's heart sank.
"Does the prince still believe me?" She gritted her teeth and looked up at him, expecting that Xie Xiao would soften his heart, but Xie Xiao just shook his head slightly, reached out and brushed her hand tightly on the robe, and said, "Master Zhou, if you If you are wronged, then I will report to the Queen Mother to thoroughly investigate this matter."
His expression was calm, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes, but it seemed a pity.
Zhou Yi heard him say: "It's just that now, Master Zhou has to be wronged for a while."
What he said was gentle and sweet, but after Xie Xiao heard what the imperial army said, she knew that he would not save her again. Maybe he will intercede, but he will never offend Gu Yu because of her.
The name of that temptress was deeply rooted in his heart, Zhou Yi never thought that she could seduce so many people one after another in such a short period of time.
When Xie Xiao's cool fingers opened her hand, a glint of light flashed in her eyes, and she tightened it suddenly as if she was struggling. However, he crushed the Chunxiang in his sleeves and stained his robe.
The secret of this move was not even noticed by Xie Xiao.
When he got up and was about to leave, he suddenly heard Zhou Yi say: "If the lord still cares about me, please bring me some clothes when Ah Yi goes to prison. Ah Yi is very grateful."
After she finished speaking, she let go of her hand, bowed her head and kowtowed.
Xie Xiao paused, and after hearing Zhou Yi's words, he felt that her request was not too much, thinking that it would be okay to ask the guards in the mansion to send her a few sets of clothes later, so he complied.
At that time, Xie Xiao hadn't disliked Zhou Yi yet, and he was slightly satisfied with her request. But he didn't expect Zhou Yi to drug him.
After staying in Zangshu Pavilion for a while, Xie Xiao smelled the fragrance on the clothes. Years of keen experience made him realize that the fragrance was not right.
But it was still a step late inhalation.
Xie Xiao took a deep breath, and wanted to go back to the mansion to find a pharmacist, but in the end he underestimated the efficacy of the medicine, so he had to find a room to hide it when it happened.
But he didn't notice that it was the empress dowager's bedroom.
He kept hiding behind the curtain until Gu Yu came in to take off his clothes. He knew that if he didn't come out again, if he really let the Queen Mother into the bathtub, he might make a big mistake.
Although Xie Xiao speaks recklessly on weekdays, he also knows that Gu Yu's identity is the queen mother after all, and she is not someone who can be easily offended. So after bluffing her with a dagger, he wanted to catch the opportunity and jump out of the window, but he didn't expect to expose himself.
I don't know if it was because of the medicine taken today, but when he saw Gu Yu's cold gaze, he paused slightly in his heart. A strange feeling fermented in the bottom of my heart, making the heat almost burn into my heart.
Tell him to be slightly absent-minded.
Gu Yu didn't know why this person was staring at her all the time, so she couldn't help frowning. But thinking about it, it's not good to leave him here at this time, the tub is still there, it's a bit embarrassing to look at.
Seeing that Xie Xiao still had the original expression after staring at him for a while, and he was not interested in pursuing this matter any longer, he took a step back along his steps, and said in a cold voice like a warning: "Since you went wrong, King Mobei Why don't you leave quickly, what are you still doing here?"
She raised her jaw slightly as she looked back. Her figure was exquisite and slender under the thin inner garment, and the clothes that were hastily pulled up in a panic at that time were a little messy, revealing some cold snowy skin, which was slightly reddish under the smudge of the mist.
Such a situation is enough to make any man lose control.
What's more, her eyes are still so cold. Just like the unattainable Gushe Immortal, people dare not feel profane.
The more so, the more Xie Xiao wanted to get closer.
He paused, his voice was hoarse, and just about to speak, he heard a notification sound from outside the door: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty has come to apologize personally."
Ah Xi's voice was clearly heard outside the door.
When she bent down and knelt down, Gu Yu heard another voice: "Today's matter has exhausted the Queen Mother, and it is the fault of today and tomorrow. I hereby apologize to the Queen Mother after the next court."
His clear voice came through the door, and Gu Yu froze. She didn't expect him to come at this time, so she couldn't help being a little annoyed.
If Fu Jinming saw that he was disheveled in the same room as King Mobei, it would definitely not work.
Xie Xiao had no scruples when he heard the words outside. The veins on his forehead were slightly undulating, and a smile appeared on his handsome face. When Gu Yu was in a daze, he suddenly reached out and hugged her, and asked with a low smile, "Is the Queen Mother afraid?"
