920, the answer
Prince Li's Mansion.
Deathly silence.
There was still a small semi-dark lamp on in King Li's bedroom, but the looming figure was fixed on the window edge paper like a silhouette.
A figure came in quietly, with a fat body and a slightly hunched back, like an old man.
There were no servants in the entire courtyard, let alone maidservants, only a few secret guards hiding in the dark and guards patrolling from time to time.
"The servant has seen the prince."
That figure was none other than Eunuch Shao.
King Li was still standing very close to the window, thoughtful, but he didn't wear the customary black clothes, only the pure white silk underwear, which set off his fair and handsome face and made his expression even more overwhelming. He's kind of weak.
"So it's Eunuch Shao, come in." Sighing, his voice was calm, but with a hint of sadness.
Eunuch Shao entered, squinted his eyes and quickly looked up and down, and then a shrewd and murderous look flashed in his eyes, "I dare to ask the prince what is bothering you?"
King Li choked for a moment, not knowing where to start.
Could it be that, when he asked Gu Qianxue who he cared about the most, he was beating gongs and drums in his heart, hoping to hear his name, but he didn't ask
Seeing that King Li's complexion was even worse, Eunuch Shao hurriedly changed his question and lowered his cold and strange voice, "Is it because things are not going well in the Blood Moon Tower?"
King Li sighed again, and finally told everything.
Although King Li and Eunuch Shao are masters and servants, they are also relatives. Since Concubine Qin was poisoned, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and all the servants ran away, only two were loyal. father-in-law.
Nanny Shen was by Concubine Qin's side, and Eunuch Shao was by the young King Li.
The situation was critical at that time, even if he blocked the knife, Eunuch Shao also blocked it several times for King Li.
Eunuch Shao's loyalty to King Li is just like King Li's trust in Eunuch Shao.
King Li did not hide anything from Eunuch Shao, including his feelings for Gu Qianxue.
After Eunuch Shao listened carefully, his old face, which had always been playful and smiling, was expressionless. The dim light cast large shadows on his face full of vicissitudes and wrinkles, making this eunuch, who was already full of yin, even more ghostly and strange.
After a while, Eunuch Shao laughed, "What name does the prince think the princess will say?"
How could King Li know? "I don't know."
"The slave thinks that what the princess wants to say is the prince's name."
King Li's eyes widened suddenly, surprise flashed across his face, but just as his pale cheeks were about to turn crimson, they faded away. "Shao Gonggong don't comfort me."
"My lord doesn't believe it?"
"Do not believe."
When did King Li show such a confused expression? When Eunuch Shao saw him, instead of being contemptuous or worried, he became more loving, "The only men involved with the princess, apart from the second prince who ran away after being married, are the prince and Mr. Su, right?"
Eunuch Shao also knew about the second prince, but they both knew that Gu Qianxue had no special feelings for the second prince.
"Yes." Li Wang said.
Eunuch Shao continued to analyze, "The princess exchanged one ear, one hand, or other price for the help of Xueyuelou. The purpose is to find Mr. Su. In other words, Princess Qianxue should blurt out that the person she cares about the most is Mr. Su. In such a situation, the princess did not blurt out Mr. Su's name or did not mention it at all, which only shows that Princess Qianxue only has gratitude for Mr. Su, not love."
King Li listened and was enlightened.
That's right, such a simple and obvious question, why didn't he think of it before.
I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, only because I am in this mountain!
"But she didn't say my king's name?" Li Wang asked.
Eunuch Shao sighed, "Think about good things."
"..." King Li, who was always confident to conceited, did not feel confident now.
"There are too many misunderstandings between the prince and the princess. It is not easy for the prince to have the prince. Every word and every thing the prince does is related to the overall situation. However, Princess Qianxue will not understand before the dust settles." Shao The father-in-law had no choice but shook his head with a sigh.
At the beginning, King Li "rejected" Gu Qianxue and "agreed" to the emperor to grant the marriage, there was a reason, or it was part of the great cause plan.
Including the bloodbath of Wanqi Mountain Villa in Xueyue Tower, including King Li taking Wanqi Yunfei in the palace, and even King Li knowing that Wanqi Yunfei fell in love with him, in other words, the throne of the princess.
Everything is in King Li's plan.
If Gu Qianxue hadn't appeared, maybe everything would have gone more smoothly.
"It's getting late." At some time, King Li's voice lost his helplessness and desolation, and returned to his usual calmness and composure, "Eunuch Shao is old and needs to take care of himself. Think for yourself."
Eunuch Shao smiled gratifiedly, and nodded slightly, "The old slave will step down first, and the prince will also rest earlier."
Under the dim light, Eunuch Shao, who had always been disobedient, faltered.
Li Wangruo stood like a statue, and watched Eunuch Shao leave the room with the most respectful eyes, and then gradually closed his eyes.
King Li looked at the dim light and sighed, "Gu Qianxue, what do you want me to do with you?"
Eunuch Shao, who had just left the door, also sighed, "My lord...poor child."
Same time, another place.
Gu Qianxue was brought back to the Shangshu Mansion by Chuyan, but she didn't enter through the gate, and directly used lightness kung fu to climb over the wall.
Yulian and Yucui were terrified when they saw Chuyan carrying the princess, and they were about to cry in an instant, "Princess, what's wrong with you, princess?"
Chu Yan made a stern look, "Shut up, the Princess is fine."
Although the journey was bumpy, Gu Qianxue also recovered her strength, "Yulian Yucui, you two go to rest, I'm fine."
The two of you look at me and I look at you, and in the end they can only leave obediently.
Chu Yan put Gu Qianxue on the bed, "Princess, what happened?"
Qianxue smiled sadly, and told the whole story of what happened.
Without further ado, Chu Yan picked up Gu Qianxue's arm to check, and inspected the bones inch by inch with his fingertips until he reached his fingertips, and he was relieved when he was sure it was all right, "That Lu Weilou is really hateful, one day I want to Kill him with your own hands!"
Qianxue shook her head, "Don't be like this, he really missed. If he wanted to kill me or hurt me, he would have done it long ago." As she spoke, her brows were furrowed.
"Could it be that Lu Weilou..." Chu Yan's eyes flickered, "Could it be that he likes the princess?"
Gu Qianxue stretched out her hands and rubbed the center of her brows with a headache, then shook her head, "That person's temperament is cloudy and uncertain, and the thinking of a person who is engaged in the special profession of assassin is different from that of normal people, which cannot be judged by common sense. I really can't figure him out. What are you thinking?"
For some reason, Chu Yan could vaguely guess the answer in Gu Qianxue's mind, but in the end, she still didn't say it.
Just like that, the two parted, and Qianxue fell into a deep sleep, but she never expected that the next day would give her a huge surprise and ease her sorrow.
