It's just that she didn't expect that there would be saltpetre in the wine cellar, and she thought that there would be something else hidden, such as the body of the proprietress and so on.
Seeing the saltpeter, Gu Yuqi's face turned pale, and she naturally thought of the large pile of dry firewood piled up in the firewood yard. Saltpeter, wine, dry firewood, snowy night, these words put together can send chills down the spine.
Although Yun Yi didn't know about the firewood, but like Gu Yuqi, her expression suddenly changed.
He still took the jar from Chun Xing's hand, and sniffed it carefully. The pungent smell made him frown, and turned his head hastily.
"How did you find this out?" Yun Yi asked, the matter was so important that he had to ask clearly.
Gu Yuqi told the story of Chun Xing's discovery of the martial arts in the store and the story of them asking the innkeeper for questioning, but she still briefly mentioned some places. For example, for portraits, she put away the portraits by herself, and now she is holding them in her bosom.
"Come on." Yun Yi said in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, wait a moment." Gu Yuqi said hastily, "Please wait a moment, Your Highness. The court lady has something to ask."
"Tell me." Yun Yi looked at Gu Yuqi, his face softened, and there was a bit of appreciation between his eyebrows. Before, I just thought she was naive, sometimes brutal, sometimes dull, sometimes smart, but today she really impressed me again.
This girl is only ten years old, if she lives a few years. grown up...
"My daughter's family is still in the hands of those thieves. If His Highness really sends people to search the store, I'm afraid they will startle the snake, and if they can't be caught, they may be forced to jump over the wall. So my daughter has a plan. I don't know His Highness. Are you willing to help my daughter?" Gu Yuqi said while still kneeling.
Just as Yun Yi was about to speak, he heard a guard outside reporting, "Your Highness, His Royal Highness, the Seventh Prince, please see me."
Shit, why is he here to join in the fun again? Gu Yuqi was startled at first, but then relieved, he had hidden guards around him, presumably, he must have found that he came to Yunyi's place, and he couldn't go out for a long time, so he couldn't help but come over to have a look.
Yunyi didn't want Yunke to intervene in this matter, and put saltpeter in the inn, but he had the intention of killing people, if it was just dealing with Dingyuanhou's mansion before, it would be fine. But this place is full of princes and nobles, not to mention half of the court ministers gathered here, there are quite a few, not to mention that I and the seventh brother and two princes live here, if it is really set on fire in the middle of the night, these The ministers and their families, including himself, were all sent to the west. I am afraid that the Daqi Dynasty will really be in chaos for a long time.
If he finds out all those thieves. When the crisis is resolved, it is a big show. Not only the father will look at him with admiration, but even the princes and ministers who were saved will be grateful for his life-saving grace. It will be beneficial to him in the future. .
This Gu Yuqi seems to be a big lucky star, and she directly sent such a big credit to herself.
Yunyi's affection for Gu Yuqi secretly increased.
He didn't tell Yun Ke that he just wanted to take this great achievement all by himself, but now that Yun Ke has come to him, it would be a little unreasonable for him to keep people out. Putting himself first, even if he didn't dare to grab this great achievement this time, taking him by the way might make him even more determined.
Gu Yuqi didn't know that Yun Yi had already thought a lot about this flash, she just thought that Yun Ke was really a broom star, wherever he went, what happened! This kind of thing never happened at this time in the previous life, okay? It must be that both she and Yun Ke were reborn, and they all turned on cheats, so God couldn't stand it anymore, so the plot was changed.
Does that mean Yun Ke won't be able to be emperor in the future? Gu Yuqi was thinking wildly.
"Let him in." Yun Yi said.
After a while, Yun Ke pushed the door open and walked in. He glanced inside the room. Gu Yuqi and Chun Xing were kneeling in a well-regulated manner, and then he lowered his eyebrows, "Fifth Brother. My brother needs to discuss with Fifth Brother." He He cupped his hands towards Yun Yi and said.
Can't this dead woman cause less trouble? Could it be that he turned to Fifth Brother without getting any news from himself
His guards didn't find any clues. Did this stupid woman think that Fifth Brother would help her wholeheartedly? I really don't know what to say.
This time it wasn't that Yun Ke's hidden guards were incompetent, but that they were looking in the wrong direction. They searched desperately outside, but ignored the inn itself. However, Gu Yuqi discovered some clues by virtue of the power of rebirth.
In the previous life and this life, Yun Ke was a prince. Although he had been to this inn many times before, with his identity and pride, he would never pay attention to the whole family of the innkeeper. Instead, Gu Yuqi took the opportunity.
He got the news from the dark guard that Gu Yuqi had been in Yunyi for almost a long time. He didn't want to care about it, but he was always restless. He couldn't even read the book. Yi here, as soon as he came in and saw her kneeling honestly, without any bad behavior, his heart calmed down a little.
Could this woman be giving up on herself and throwing herself into Fifth Brother's arms? Yun Ke sneered in the bottom of her heart. If she really carried the memories of her previous life like herself, she would know what would happen to Fifth Brother in the future. Maybe she would say something she shouldn't say in front of Fifth Brother? In the last life, she looked at her sternly and kept saying she loved her. If she used that stern expression to say that to Fifth Brother in this life, he would definitely slap her to death on the spot.
Or, she pretended to be a ghost in front of Fifth Brother and predicted something, so that Fifth Brother would be wary of herself early on, that would be a very bad thing.
Maybe he shouldn't let this woman exist, he should kill her directly to avoid future troubles.
Gu Yuqi only felt that the temperature around her dropped sharply, she subconsciously raised her eyes to glance at Yun Ke, but suddenly found a trace of murderous intent flashing from the corner of his eyes!
He... is he going to do something to himself? Gu Yuqi's chest was suffocated, and the joystick was not so straight anymore.
His previous attitude really made her ignore one thing, that is, he is always Yun Ke, the cold and indifferent emperor who will do anything to achieve his goal.
Yun Yi didn't notice the murderous intent in Yun Ke's eyes, Yun Ke had his head down, and only Gu Yuqi, who was kneeling on the ground and knew him well, was lucky enough to see that scene.
"Seventh brother, you came just in time." Yun Yi handed the jar of saltpeter to Yun Ke, "Let's see what this is?"
"Saltpeter?" Yun Ke frowned deeply after only one glance.
"Miss Gu and her maid found it. More than half of the wine jars in the wine cellar of the inn have been replaced with jars filled with saltpeter. Miss Gu also discovered it by accident, so she asked Ben Wang for help. Ben Wang Gang wanted to order someone to call you over, so you came by yourself." Yun Yi said.
Yun Ke raised his eyebrows, he naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, but...he slightly looked sideways at Gu Yuqi, why didn't she come to him when she found out about such a thing? Yun Ke is very angry now, even more angry than knowing that someone wanted to kill him in the middle of the night.
"By the way. Seventh brother, Ms. Gu said that she has thought of a way to catch people without scaring them. Why don't you listen to them together." Yun Yi thought that the anger in Yun Ke's eyes was because he found out that someone was plotting something wrong, and then said.
"En." Yun Ke nodded and glared at Gu Yuqi.
Gu Yuqi had the feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake in an instant, but the point was not this. She tried her best to ignore the fear and discomfort caused by Yun Ke's gaze, raised her eyebrows and looked at Yun Yi, and said, "Assassins are deliberate, so it must be true." I will only do this if I have made a mortal determination. If it is done, it will definitely shake the foundation of my court in Daqi, and Daqi is afraid that in the next few years, the court will not be stable and peaceful." Gu Yuqi said.
The appreciation in Yunyi's eyes deepened a bit, this little girl can see so far.
"So if we go to arrest people with great fanfare, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch them all when we come, and we will startle the snake when we come. It's better to lure the enemy into deep." Gu Yuqi continued, "Don't they want to burn us to death? Let's come and do it."
"How to follow the trick?" Yun Yi asked with interest.
"Those assassins who can come up with such a sinister method must be successful, and they will definitely choose to strike in the dead of night." Gu Yuqi pondered for a moment, "Although the younger brother and younger sister of the minister are missing, and the patrol in the inn has been strengthened, but after arriving There must be some slack in the middle of the night. The courtiers expected that they would attack in the latter part of the night, so we still have time now." She paused, and continued, "I also ask the prince to borrow a few skilled guards from the courtiers to send a few Look for a place where you can hide things, and the courtier is afraid that the younger brother and sister of the courtier and the whole family of the innkeeper will also be hidden in these places." After finishing speaking, Gu Yuqi said the locations of the vegetable cellars. Come out, and explain why she made such an inference.
Yun Ke couldn't help but look sideways at Gu Yuqi, she was smart, he knew that, she also helped him a lot in the last life, but he always regarded those as her performance of inviting pets, and didn't pay much attention to them.
But now, Gu Yuqi, who was talking under the candlelight, was calm and calm, with a calmness and confidence that was rare at her age, which was really attractive.
He couldn't help but glanced at Yunyi again, and saw that his eyes were full of surprise and appreciation, and his heart sank slightly.
Fifth Brother has mentioned Gu Yuqi in front of him more than once. If after waiting for Gu Yuqi for a few more years, Fifth Brother starts thinking about her that he shouldn't, then it will be a real big trouble!
"And then?" Yun Yi was completely attracted by Gu Yuqi, and didn't care about Yun Ke's slightly gloomy gaze.
"Then we lit a fire in an inconspicuous corner of the inn." Gu Yuqi's eyes sparkled, "For the sake of running out of water, all the adults, wives, children, and ladies in the inn will be moved out of the inn. Secondly, we ambushed skilled guards at every point, especially in the wine cellar. If we were in the water, if we didn’t run for our lives but went to see those saltpeter people, there must be something wrong. Let’s catch one, As long as you act quickly, those thieves can't communicate with each other. I believe they will all be captured. Then we can torture and find out who is the mastermind behind the scenes. So much saltpeter was transported and hidden without anyone noticing. It’s not something ordinary people can do.”
Seeing that Yun Yi was deep in thought, Yun Ke spoke first, "Fifth brother, Miss Gu's plan is good. What do you think?"
Yunyi is like this, sometimes he hesitates, so he decided to give Yunyi a push.
He did not experience such an assassination in his last life, and many things have really changed in this life. But I have to say that the method that Gu Yuqi has come up with now is very good.
"Since the seventh brother also thinks it is feasible, let's do it this way." Yun Yi nodded, "Seventh brother, you protect Miss Gu and leave first, the king has made arrangements. Naturally come to find you."
Leave first? Hehe, Yun Ke sneered from the bottom of his heart. He hesitated before, but after getting his affirmation, he dismissed himself when he knew it was done well, and threw it away when he really used it up. She said something to protect Gu Yuqi, just because she was afraid that he would steal the limelight.
However, he didn't care too much about this. If he bought people's hearts, he could do it at any time. I'm afraid that Yun Yi's wishful thinking this time will come to nothing.
That's right, if Yunyi saves the people in the next inn, these people will definitely be grateful to him. If he divides the credit with himself, it won't be particularly enviable, but now he wants to monopolize it, so in the future They would secretly point to him alone.
It was like this in the last life, but he still can't change it in this life, and the conflict between him and the prince will become deeper and deeper. The word fame and fortune is a double-edged sword. If you are not careful, you will hurt yourself. Yun Yi has always been unable to understand this truth, so she shows her edge too much.
It should be like this, Yun Ke just agreed, and then looked at Gu Yuqi, "Please also invite Miss Gu to come with my prince."
Gu Yuqi stood up reluctantly, and took Chunxing to get up from the ground. After kneeling for a long time, she suddenly stood up, her knee hurt, and Gu Yuqi gritted her teeth. Fortunately, Chunxing helped her in time , so that she would not stagger and make a fool of herself in front of the two princes.
The wind and snow outside seemed to be even stronger than when it first fell into the night.
"Chun Xing, go back and see if my mother is back. If she comes back, take her out of the inn. You can find any reason. Don't tell her the truth just now so as not to startle the snake. If she doesn't come back, you also come out to find her." Look for her, and tell her not to go back to the inn." Gu Yuqi said to Chun Xing, she has been out for a long time, if mother can't see her when she comes back, I don't know how to be anxious.
"Yes, Miss." Chun Xing responded, but still looked at Gu Yuqi with some concern.
"Don't worry. I'm with His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, and I'm sure it's safe." Gu Yuqi gritted her teeth and emphasized the word "Safe". ?"
"Naturally." Yun Ke's face was a little blurred in the snowy night, he just said in a muffled voice, "I will take your lady to the Temple of the City God for a while, and if you find your wife, bring her with you." Bar."
"Yes." Chun Xing finally felt relieved, and immediately walked towards the inn.
Yun Ke summoned four guards to take Gu Yuqi out together with him, and came to the Temple of the City God without a word. The guards cleaned a small area of the temple, lit a bonfire, and then guarded it from a distance.
Gu Yuqi sat down in front of the fire, and Yun Ke also found a relatively clean place to lean against.
"You found something wrong, why didn't you come to me?" Yun Ke didn't want to talk to Gu Yuqi at first, but his feeling became more and more uncomfortable.
Under the shadow of the fire, the young girl's face was demure and beautiful, she just sat there quietly, but before Yun Ke's eyes floated the appearance of her previous life before she died. It turned out that after such a long time, he didn't want her to be so close to the fire again, wouldn't she be afraid? The flame seemed to be surging right under her nose, and there was a feeling of completely destroying her in it all the time.
Gu Yuqi was also full of thoughts, looking at Yun Ke through the flames, she couldn't help but think of her previous life. He helps heal blood.
The youthful and slender figure of the young man in front of her overlapped with the person from the previous life, and a pair of eyes with inexplicable light stared at her closely. Before she died, she heard him call her "Xiao Yu". It's ridiculous, she begged for her whole life, but she heard that call before she died.
I am really enough, why would I fall in love with him wholeheartedly
When I see him again in this life, I have completely lost the deep-rooted liking in my previous life, and I just subconsciously avoid and fear.
"You want to kill me?" Gu Yuqi said suddenly, but she didn't agree with Yun Ke's previous question.
Yun Ke's eyebrows moved slightly, and a trace of murderous intent reappeared in his eyes.
But facing the girl's eyes that were clear and calm in the firelight, he felt that the hostility that had just surged up in his heart disappeared miraculously.
This made Yun Ke startled, he didn't really want to kill her.
He turned to look at the guards he had brought. They are very interesting standing far away.
"I will make you my concubine." Yun Ke said slowly.
He couldn't really do anything, so he had no choice but to keep her by his side. This is good for both him and her. Isn't this what she wanted in the last life. And in this life, he had to do the same to keep his secret.
If she became his concubine, then the prince must be born by her.
Yun Ke actually began to try hard to recall the appearance of the prince in the previous life. Does it look like her with eyebrows
"Concubine?" Gu Yuqi had a mocking smile on her lips. "Then what?"
Then naturally spend the rest of his life with him. At this moment, Yun Ke has actually forgotten how much he hated her in his last life, how much he hated her in this life until not long ago, and not long ago he even wanted to kill her.
"Even if you raise a dog, you will still have feelings after being with you for more than ten years." Gu Yuqi sneered and said, "By the way, His Highness the Seventh Prince is probably a person who has no feelings. It's my fault."
She didn't make it clear, although Yun Ke could understand what she meant, but he just felt a little uncomfortable. He frowned slightly, staring at Gu Yuqi, the sarcastic smile on her lips hurt his cheek Eye.
I always feel that something is leaving him, he wants to grasp, but he can't grasp it, grasp it... This feeling is really bad.
What about the admiration in her eyes? Why is there only sarcasm and disdain in the cold eyes looking at him now.
That's right, disdain, she actually disdains to be his concubine, isn't this what she begged for and never got in the last life
The young man's hands trembled slightly, and his heart panicked for no reason, but he said coldly, "This prince promised you the position of concubine, what do you have to be dissatisfied with?"
It's not dissatisfaction, it's disdain! do you understand? You will not understand!
The sarcasm in Gu Yuqi's eyes was deeper, and she really had a bit of pity, "In the heart of His Highness the Seventh Prince, this is a great gift." She couldn't help but chuckled.
In the flames, her smile fluttered, overlapping with her back then. Yun Ke almost didn't think about it, and rushed over, pulled Gu Yuqi away from the fire, and then tightly imprisoned her before the arms.
At that moment just now, he actually had another fear that she would suddenly disappear.
The guards standing far away naturally saw this scene and looked at each other, but no one dared to come forward, so they could only continue to stand aside as pillars.
Gu Yuqi was furious, raised her hand and slapped Yun Ke's face with a clear slap.
Miss Gu's family is so strong, the guards continued to pretend not to see.
This slap finally woke Yun Ke up, he pushed Gu Yuqi away from his arms, his eyes widened, "You hit me?" He looked at Gu Yuqi in surprise.
The little person in front of her was furious, her black eyes sparkled with flames, she didn't know if it was the reflection of the bonfire in her eyes or the real flame in her heart was ejected from the eyes.
"I did it!" Gu Yuqi regretted it after beating her! ! ! !
Impulse is the devil! Gu Yuqi silently shed two lasagna tears from the bottom of her heart, and I actually hit Yun Ke with my hands, the future emperor!
This is all right, my life is in danger!
"Okay, very good!" Yun Ke said two good things in a row, and laughed out of anger, "You just wait for the prince's letter of appointment!"
She doesn't want to interact with him again? Well, he, Yun Ke, wanted to tie her by his side!
She pestered and provoked her in the previous life, what happened in this life? Figured it out? Or is there another way to get his attention? No matter what, he will not let her go.
Just like when he died in his previous life, he had to drag Gu Yuqi as a cushion and press her urn under his coffin, so in this life, she can escape from his grasp no matter what!
He is the emperor of this world who never sees each other again from life to life, and he has the final say on everything! instead of her!
"Don't do this!" Gu Yuqi suddenly turned into a dog-legged face like a deflated ball, "Why don't we think about it again? Look at me, I'm still young, stupid, stupid, rude, and capable of doing things. Hitting you, no matter how you look at it, it's not suitable to be your concubine, right?"
"Side concubine? Noble concubine? You really don't change your mind! A good concubine is wrong, and she insists on being a concubine for others. She is born low!" Yun Ke looked at Gu Yuqi who was begging for mercy like a puppy with sarcasm in his eyes, and couldn't help it. Don't irritate her with words.
Sure enough, her face turned pale, Yun Ke should have been happy, but now he couldn't laugh no matter what, the moment her little face turned pale, he actually felt a little heartache.
Damn it! Yun Ke cursed in his heart, turned his head away, and stopped looking at her.
