C15 Sudden Change

"Why does Your Highness want to learn martial arts all of a sudden? In the palace, there are countless guards. The wall is made of copper and iron, it definitely can protect the princess well!"

"Aunty, don't you know the logic that 'a hundred is a hundred is a hundred; no matter how strong one is, there will always be a time when one is wrong?' No matter how skilled others are, they will never be able to protect themselves. Furthermore, if the Imperial Palace really tells you that the place is impregnable, then how did you bring me out back then? "

"This …" Aunt Jing was speechless. She realized that not only was the little princess smart, but she also had a good eloquence. Every time, she would make the little princess speechless.

"Aunt will listen to the princess from now on."

"Mm, once or twice this princess will explain it to aunt, in the future I won't bother to explain." There was a reason for Gu Qingxin to say so. Once she returned to the palace, her revenge plan would begin, and she would definitely need to use the person she trusted. Aunt Jing knew kung fu, and it would still be useful.

He just needed to listen, and he didn't need to know why!

Aunt Jing could tell that Gu Qingxin was already unhappy, so she immediately knelt to beg for forgiveness.

Gu Qingxin realized that she accidentally revealed her emotions and immediately told Aunt Jing to get up.

She was very lazy, she still had a lot of things to do, so she couldn't waste her time on this. In the future, when she returned to the palace, she would definitely remind everyone and use it conveniently. Her own place would definitely be the most comfortable place that wouldn't require any effort.

After a brief discussion with Aunt Jing about the details of the imperial palace's martial arts training, Gu Qingxin felt bored again. While her hands were free, she suddenly thought of the Nine Links on the palanquin.

"Auntie, give me the Nine Links I had in the car."

Upon hearing that, Aunt Jing left to look for Nine Links. After a while, she came in and said that she had disappeared.

Had he left it somewhere else? Gu Qingxin thought for a while. She met Xu Mu when she was young after Nine Links was restored. She forgot about Nine Links all of a sudden, probably lost him on the way.

In other words, it was a nine times chain. In the future, there would be many, so Gu Qingxin didn't care and just threw them away. Therefore, he asked Aunt Jing to bring the other gadgets over for a look.

The other gadgets were all toys for girls between the ages of four and ten, which was not a challenge at all. However, the people who chose these things also spent a lot of effort to make them, not to mention that every single one of them was made of pure gold and silver. There were all kinds of toys for the girls at every stage, including the one for Jiu Sui [1] which even the adult girls might not be able to decipher.

After fiddling with it for a while, Gu Qingxin felt that it was meaningless. There was no challenge at all, so she asked Aunt Jing to take it away again.

As the night deepened, Gu Qingxin walked to the open window to look at the scenery outside. Although she was only looking at the scenery, the truth was that it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. On this rainy night, even the moon was covered by a black cloud, so where did the night come from?

Gu Qingxin naturally had other motives.

From the looks of it, the empress and the others in his previous life wouldn't have allowed her to return to the palace without making a move. Then there were the unsolved mysteries of her past life. Why couldn't she remember what happened before she was five years old? She had to find out about this. Something must have happened on her way back to the capital!

And tonight, the night had no moon, so this was the best time to do some things that couldn't be done in public.

Sure enough, Gu Qingxin observed the woods in front of the inn for a while. She noticed that there was an abnormal sound, and the wild beast's cry was not natural. It was most likely an imitation of a human being. Its purpose was, of course, to transmit information!

"Aunt Jing." Gu Qingxin turned her head abruptly and called out with a serious expression.

"It might not be peaceful tonight. Notify Lord Mo, get ready!"

"Princess!" "This …"

"You forgot what you just said!"

The princess' words were true and unquestionable! Aunt Jing immediately stopped talking and ran out to inform Mo Wen.

A quarter of an hour later, the sound of fighting rang out from all around the inn.

At the corner of the wall, the sound of blades stabbing into flesh exploded next to Gu Qingxin's ears. Gu Qingxin did not dodge nor evade as she calmly opened her eyes that were as clear as water and stared at the masked man in the corner.

The masked man was shocked. He raised his head and saw a pair of eyes that were as clear as the moon and as cold as water looking at him. Those eyes contained a hint of coldness and hidden malice, causing him to feel a chill! An inexplicable chill went down his spine! How strange!

When he came back to his senses, he cursed himself. He was only a five-year-old girl, and it was only after seeing her that he thought she was scary. The masked man revealed a greedy and disgusting smile. As long as he could catch this little girl, hehe, her wealth was flowing, then the benefits would be countless for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, such a cute face was going to be buried in his hands tonight!

The masked man was in the midst of gleefully jumping up to capture her, but unexpectedly, his face, which was as cute and beautiful as an angel, suddenly broke into a smile. The corner of his mouth curled up into a beautiful smile, and his eyes curved into a crescent moon.

In the next second —

With a "puchi", the sound of a sharp blade stabbing into flesh rang out. The masked man widened his eyes before his body slowly fell down. The moment he fell down, his eyes were fixed on the empty window. It was as if he couldn't believe that just like that, he died. He was killed by a little girl!

In the dark night, the smell of blood was terrifyingly strong. Everyone was fighting, and no one noticed that under the window on the west side of the second floor, a masked corpse was lying on its back with eyes open. On his chest, directly opposite his heart, was a pair of sharp scissors!

Gu Qingxin slowly walked to the small wooden chair beside the bed and sat down. She leisurely picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, after a long time, she stretched out her hands and mumbled to herself, "Aiya, this little force is still a little weak. Luckily the scissors are sharp.

"Princess, are you alright?" Aunt Jing rushed in. Seeing that Gu Qingxin was still sitting by the side, drinking water, she felt relieved.

"You scared my aunt to death. Fortunately, your highness the princess is fine." She had just gone down to pass on the princess' message to Lord Mo and had a few more words with Lord Mo. When she came back, she was entangled by an assassin and couldn't get out for a while. Now that she saw that the princess was unharmed, she was finally able to relax.

"This princess will be fine." Gu Qingxin was unperturbed by her reaction.

Along the way, she gave Aunt Jing and Lord Mo a surprise that they probably saw. They didn't need to pretend to be her. It was tiring to disguise themselves.

After her rebirth, she wanted justice! What he wanted was to do as he pleased. He wanted all the light in his body. So what if he was in a feudal situation? In her previous life, her reputation had been so poor, but there was still someone who bullied her and wantonly destroyed her life. Since that was the case, she would become the most dazzling flower that everyone would look up to.

Jealousy was nothing, envy was nothing. When a person was just a little bit higher, perhaps they would attract jealousy. However, when a person was at a peak that others could never reach, no one was jealous!

Because, it was like the clouds in the sky, a place that no one could reach. A small tree might be jealous of a tree, but it would never be jealous of the clouds in the sky, because there was no comparison at all!

After a short while, the quiet sounds of fighting came to an end, and a deep voice sounded from outside the door.

Aunt Jing opened the door to find Mo Wen and Lord Mo half-kneeling on the doorstep, their hands clenched into fists as they confessed to the princess.

"All assassins have been annihilated. This subordinate came late to save you, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

As she finished speaking, she looked up and saw Gu Qingxin sitting upright on a chair. There was no trace of panic on her face, and her hair was still neat and tidy. She couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"Lord Mo has done a great service to you, what crime is this? "I don't know the identity of the assassin, but did Lord Mo check it out?"

Gu Qingxin was calm and unperturbed, her speech was continuous and her bearing was natural.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the assassins have all taken poison in advance and committed suicide after capturing the poison. This subordinate was incompetent and was unable to ascertain the assassin's identity."

"Master, you don't have to blame yourself. Assassins must have come prepared and won't let anyone catch them easily. This time, thanks to Lord Mo, when we return to the palace, this princess will naturally reward Lord Mo for his efforts. I hope that Lord Mo will take care of us for the rest of the journey! "

Gu Qingxin's words were flawless, and Mo Wen enjoyed it. He hurriedly promised that he would definitely protect the princess. Only then did he retreat to the right.

As soon as she left, Gu Qingxin's expression turned sullen.

In the end, she was able to guess whose hand it was. However, she didn't know who it was that had written it! It really was a big deal. Doing things on the way back was a small trick, but was there a need to be so impatient?

Her return to the palace was detrimental to her interests, so it had to be related to someone else. Perhaps there was more than just one person, the mantis stalking the cicada was after all, a mantis, and the yellow sparrow was after all. But she was definitely not a fish on a chopping block.

According to the caution and vigilance of the person in the palace, there shouldn't be a second assassination tonight.

Tonight, there shouldn't be any unforeseen events occurring! Then she could sleep in peace.
