C89 Even If I Have to Break My Legs, I will Follow You!
Gu Xinghe thought to himself, [Damn, this little girl is too cunning. She purposely said that to let Gu Jun’an hear it!]
“Old Seventh, listen to me. How could I say that?”
Lan Qingqian shrank behind Gu Jun’an. “He said that he wants to sew my mouth shut. He won’t tell you!” The little girl was adding fuel to the fire.
Gu Xinghe was afraid that Gu Jun’an would believe her. This kid was known for being ruthless and vengeful. He immediately waved his hand and said, “How would I dare? Don’t listen to this little girl’s nonsense. It was Fourth Brother who came to ask me to go drink with you! Tonight, we won’t see each other in the Orchid Pavilion!” With that, he ran away.
Anyway, the words that Fourth Brother wanted him to convey had already been conveyed. It was up to Old Seventh whether he went or not. If he ran too late, Gu Jun’an would really believe this little girl’s words and he would have to suffer.
Seeing Gu Xiaowu being humiliated, Lan Qingqian beamed with joy.
“Old Marquis, can you take me with you?”
“What are you going to do?”
“Look at the beauty. I am so pretty. If I look at more beautiful people, I will definitely look even more beautiful in the future. You have a lot of face, right?”
The little girl always found excuses for what she wanted to participate in.
Gu Jun’an glanced at her and pinched her bun-shaped face. “You stay at home! Otherwise, I will break your legs!”
Lan Qingqian didn’t believe him. Ever since she came, he had threatened her many times, but he never did anything to her.
He already had the plan in his mind. If he didn't want to go, she would follow him quietly.
Before he went in, he could already hear the sound of the zither. Gu Jun'an was dressed in black and looked at the sign of the pavilion.
Gu Xinghe couldn't help but look behind when he saw the person who came in. He laughed, "It's rare for me to be able to shake off my tail today!"
Gu He Xian poured a glass of wine and pushed it to him, "I bet with Ol' Fifth that you won't come tonight. It seems that the Jade Jade Cabbage from the Sixth Brother's family is going to be sent to my palace!"
Gu Jun'an's face was cold. He drank the wine in his glass and didn't say anything.
Gu Xinghe snorted, "I really don't know why Fourth Brother has to make you drink like this. You haven't even said a few words." He drank the wine in his glass.
"If you don't talk about business, I'll leave!" Gu Jun'an drank another glass of wine.
Gu He Xian quickly reached out his hand to stop him, "Don't. Aren't we talking about this? The assassin we caught at the New Year's Feast is really from Canglan?"
Gu Jun'an replied with the words Lan Qing Qian used a few days ago, "Only a fool would shout when he did something bad. A six year old girl knows the reason. Don't you understand?"
Gu He Xian wasn't angry. He smiled, "I just want to know if he is really from Second Brother. Who doesn't know that the assassin was interrogated by Eldest Brother? Only you know the truth."
“Why are you asking?” Gu Jun’an didn’t answer directly.
Gu He’an glanced at Gu Xinghe and twisted his head to the side. “Don’t listen to me with your big mouth. Who do you think you are?”
Gu Xinghe couldn’t stand it anymore. “Gu He’an, stop doing things that will destroy the bridge. If it weren’t for me, I wouldn’t have been able to find you.” Gu Xinghe was a typical person who got along well with everyone in the house. He would find people to drink and chat with every now and then. Therefore, it wasn’t strange for Gu Xinghe to invite Gu He’an and Gu Jun’an to drink with him.
“Maybe you are a spy of Gu Ziheng.” Gu He’an wouldn’t call Gu Ziheng his brother unless it was in public.
Gu Jun’an drank and didn’t participate in the fight.
The two of them started to fight. Gu Xinghe was no match for Gu He’an, so he had to admit defeat. “Alright, alright. Fourth Brother, I was wrong. I was wrong.”
Gu He’an snorted coldly and let him go. He tidied his clothes and continued to drink.
“Is this assassin from the Dongchi Country? Before the New Year, my men heard that Gu Ziheng was in contact with people from the Dongchi Country. Not long after, Big Brother was assassinated. Do you think there is such a coincidence?”
Gu He’an secretly looked at Gu Jun’an’s expression, trying to see something unusual from his face.
It was a pity that Gu Jun’an had a cold face all the time.
“No, it has nothing to do with Gu Ziheng!” Gu Jun’an drank half a glass of wine.
“How can it have nothing to do with him? That dog has always been ambitious. That day, there were only a few people who could compare to him in terms of accuracy. However, he never made a move. That sword was aimed at the Empress. I even saw a flash of disappointment in his eyes.”
“Is he disappointed?” Gu Jun’an asked back.
It would be strange if Gu Ziheng wasn’t disappointed! After all, he was only a little bit away from the throne!
He probably hoped for whoever was sitting on the throne to die.
Gu He’an was speechless. He clenched his fists and didn’t know what to say.
Gu Xinghe looked at the subtle atmosphere and immediately said, “Fourth Brother, you don’t need to be in a hurry. There are ways to take down Second Brother.”
Gu He’an’s face turned ugly. He grabbed Gu Xinghe’s collar and suppressed his voice. “I’m not in a hurry? I just want to see how Imperial Concubine Xuan will be happy in Changping Palace. My heart will be broken. When my mother died, she held my hand tightly and told me that she was wronged. I didn’t dare to go to the Lunar Pavilion for so many years. It’s not that I’m scared of ghosts, but I don’t have the face to see her.”
“Fourth Brother, I am innocent! You hate Imperial Concubine Xuan. You poisoned her or you could just find someone to kill her. If you can’t kill Second Brother, you won’t be able to get Imperial Concubine Xuan.” It wasn’t him who killed Imperial Concubine Xuan. Gu Xinghe was innocent.
Gu He Xian let go of his collar and his face turned pale, “It’s too good for her to die. I will make her taste what it feels like to lose her loved ones. I will make her son live on in this world and not die!” He held the cup tightly. The cup cracked because of the force. The wine had stained his hand and his fingers were also stained with the fragrance of the wine.
He looked at Gu Jun An who was beside him and sneered, “Old Seven, if I were you, I would find a chance to rebel and become the emperor. Do you think my big brother is really guilty? Is he feeling sorry for you being sent to the West Lake Mystic Realm at such a young age? He is just using you to help him conquer the world. In the end, what do you think you can get? You are just a pawn!”
Gu Jun An held the cup, “What’s so good about being the emperor? I don’t care about these dirty things. What do I want?”
Gu Xing He looked at them and felt that they were getting more and more ridiculous. He immediately covered his ears and said, “Stop talking. I didn’t hear anything. What you said is all revolting. I don’t want to die. I didn’t hear anything!”
They were all brothers. It was not good for him to help anyone!
Gu He Xian put some food into his mouth and said, “You can’t even stop your mouth from eating. If you dare to say anything, do you think they won’t suspect you?”
Gu Xinghe’s mouth was stuffed with something and he couldn’t speak clearly. “I know, that’s why I don’t want to hear it!” He didn’t want to be a scheming king. After all, it was the same for anyone who was the king.
Knock knock knock! The door was knocked…
