"Come on, Xueruun, don't poison him to death." Xiao Leng raised his cup and took a sip of tea. A trace of a disdainful smile flashed across his eyes. He glanced at Xueruun. It was obvious that he despised her.

Gu Qiangwei was stunned for a moment. If it wasn't for Xiao Leng's words, she would have felt very warm. Hearing Xiao Leng's words, Gu Qiangwei felt a chill run down her spine. It was too scary.

"How can it be as terrifying as you say? Don't be scared by others." Hearing that, Xueruun lowered her head and looked at her toes. A trace of helplessness flashed across her eyes as she fiercely frowned and twisted the handkerchief in her hand.

Gu Qiangwei massaged Xiao Leng's back as she thought about a question. There was a transcender here before. Plus, looking at the time, it wasn't long ago. Where did she go? Did she go back? If she went back, didn't that mean she had a way to go back? Thinking about it this way, Gu Qiangwei felt more at ease. No matter what, as long as she went back, Gu Qiangwei would wake up smiling even in her dreams.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny? "You make me laugh when you say it." Xiao Leng slowly put down his cup. A smile flashed across his eyes and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up. However, Gu Qiangwei could tell that this smile was definitely not friendly. Instead, it was extremely dangerous.

"Cough cough, I'm fine. I just want to go to the happy things in the past." Gu Qiangwei lowered her head and looked at the tip of her feet. A trace of solemnity and consideration flashed across her eyes. It would be great if she could really go back.

No matter what, this place was full of blood and gore. If Xiao Leng wanted to rebel, he would have to fight back, and every mistake he made would lead to his death. The most important thing was that this Gu Qiangwei was still a maidservant; she was still someone at the mercy of others and had no ability to resist.

She remembered drinking with her friend and talking about a handsome junior brother who had just woken up. This junior brother was especially good-looking, if only he could catch up with her, and her friend even ridiculed her as a male nanny. Afterwards, she drank a broken piece, and after waking up, she arrived here.

Had he been killed for drinking too much?

Countless questions echoed in Gu Qiangwei's mind. Gu Qiangwei had never thought about it. Gu Qiangwei touched her chin. Doubt flashed across her eyes. She might have been drunk and gone back home.

"Gu Qiangwei, Gu Qiangwei." Suddenly, Xiao Leng's cold voice rang out, startling Gu Qiangwei. Gu Qiangwei's heart skipped a beat and a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes. She frowned and asked, "What's that called?"

This was Gu Qiangwei's instinctive reaction.

Xiao Leng didn't expect Gu Qiangwei to have such a strong reaction. A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes. He frowned fiercely and looked at Gu Qiangwei. "You're quite bold."

Looking into Xiao Leng's eyes, Gu Qiangwei couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of saliva as a hint of flattery flashed across her eyes. This Xiao Leng, the one who dared to rebel was definitely not a merciful person.

"What orders do you have for me, Madam?" Gu Qiangwei took a step forward and stood in front of Xiao Leng. A skinny girl, unexpectedly had an excellent face, that slender neck, and Xiao Leng could even twist his fingers and break her neck. She stood right in front of him, afraid that he would punish her, so she smiled obsequiously.

She was clearly the noble daughter of the Prime Minister, but she was reduced to such a state. What was the difference between her being reduced to a man and pretending to be a woman? Thinking about it like this, Xiao Leng actually had a strange feeling.

"Alright, the general will be back soon. Go make a pot of hot tea." Xiao Leng didn't want to see Gu Qiangwei acting like this in front of him, so he waved his hand and told Gu Qiangwei to back off.

Gu Qiangwei nodded and left while skipping. She was only ten years old anyway, so it would be good to live for a while.

"Master, what's the use of bringing this girl back? The Gu family is no longer the Gu family of the past." After Gu Qiangwei left, Xueruun's cold face returned. A trace of indifference flashed in her eyes, and she fiercely frowned.

"He killed someone in the palace by himself and then ran away. With just a few words, he was able to sow discord with the Emperor and the An clan. Do you think this girl is a simple person?" Xiao Leng's eyes had a hint of an interesting smile in them as he said, "This girl, she's so interesting. Watch her closely and don't let anything bad happen to her."

"Don't worry, Master." Xueruun nodded. A trace of indifference flashed in her eyes. She slightly raised the corner of her mouth. To be able to get Xiao Leng's appreciation, she was indeed a pretty good girl.

Gu Qiangwei carried her tea and walked in slowly. Lee Mingzhi was sitting beside Xiao Leng. The two of them were talking about something and had a serious expression on their faces. Gu Qiangwei walked in slowly and said, "General."

"Yes." Lee Mingzhi was very irritated and couldn't listen to Gu Qiangwei properly. He waved his hand half-heartedly and glanced at Gu Qiangwei.

After Gu Qiangwei placed the tea beside their hands, she obediently retreated to the side and stood together with Xueruun.

"This matter has developed into such a serious one. Now that State Duke Qi is in confinement, it looks like you're going to take action." Wu Tie raised his teacup and gently removed the surface of the tea leaves. He took a sip gracefully with a cold gaze and his long and narrow eyes narrowed. He did not know what was the meaning behind his gaze.

Gu Qiangwei, who was still confused, couldn't help but frown. She rubbed her head and thought to herself, "What kind of riddle is this?"

"Ai, although State Duke Qi is in confinement, he heard about this matter and hurriedly wrote a letter to the emperor saying that he knew he was guilty. He said that he couldn't relieve the emperor of his worries and that he felt extremely guilty. The emperor released him happily." Lee Mingzhi frowned as if he was helpless. He was a martial general, how could he fight against a civil servant? And since State Duke Qi could put the entire Gu family in jail, and could force the imperial concubines and princes to death, his methods were not ordinary.

"Hmph, that old thief from Anji Road is quite capable." Xiao Leng put down the cup and looked outside. He reached out his hand to touch the armor on his finger and said, "Since he's so willing to take care of it, then let him go."

Gu Qiangwei lowered her head and a trace of coldness flashed across her eyes. She frowned. State Duke Qi had a lot of face. The emperor let him go so easily. It seemed that he had some ability.

Hearing that, Lee Mingzhi waved his hand and said, "Not at all, the moment he came out, he picked up a book in front of His Majesty. Lee Mingzhi waved his hand and said," Not at least, he took the book in front of His Majesty when he came out.

Hearing that, a hint of coldness flashed across Xiao Leng's eyes. A creepy smile appeared on his face as he said, "Since it has fallen on your head, you have to do it well. Don't disappoint me."

What an emperor. Gu Qiangwei crossed her arms and sighed while shaking her head. A general protecting his country actually wanted to solve a problem like the plague. A trace of coldness flashed through Gu Qiangwei's eyes. According to the slanderous officials, such a person wouldn't be able to become an emperor for long.

"This matter is very thorny. Many commoners have already gotten infected, and even the imperial physicians are helpless against it." Lee Mingzhi waved his hand and shook his head in embarrassment. This was simply making things difficult for him.

"They're just a bunch of quack doctors, what use is there?" Hearing this, Xiao Leng said with disdain. A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes as he said, "I'll go take a look."

"It's better if you don't go. If you get infected, it will be extremely troublesome." Hearing this, Lee Mingzhi shook his head. A trace of helplessness flashed across his eyes as he spoke with extreme worry.

Hearing that, Gu Qiangwei raised a hand, "I would like to take a look as well."

Plague was nothing more than an infectious disease. Separating and disinfection was the best way to find the source of the disease and treat it.

"What are you doing?" Lee Mingzhi and Xiao Leng's voices sounded. The two of them looked towards Gu Qiangwei at the same time, their eyes filled with doubt.
