Lu Yuanyou hurriedly walked behind Xie Yan, and said with a pale face, "I'm also doing it for Xie Yan's good."

"You want to thank the banquet?" Lu Shikai sneered and asked, "Then you think it is good for Xie Yan to be an enemy of the Pei family? When you sent someone to assassinate Ning'er, did you ever think that the Pei family would turn against Xie Yan because of this?" Have you ever thought that Xie Yan's identity would be exposed? The Pei family would do anything for their own family! Back then they were loyal to the late emperor and regarded the prince as their relative, so they were willing to keep Xie Yan for the prince Bloodline, they did all this not for fame or profit, but to avenge the crown prince!"

"Do you still think that they are greedy for that bit of power?" Lu Shikai approached Lu Yuanyou step by step, "Have you been in Shu for so long, have you lost your mind?"

After being scolded by Lu Shikai, Lu Yuanyou's energy visibly weakened.

He lowered his head and wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start, so he opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "I..."

"You are doing it for your own selfishness!" Lu Shikai snorted lightly, and said disdainfully, "Don't think I don't know what you did before! Let me tell you, Xie Yan's wife can only be Ning'er! If I find out that you are obstructing it again, don't blame me for being rude to you! If you get tired of staying in Sichuan and want to go to sea, I can satisfy you immediately!"

Hearing this, Lu Yuanyou immediately lowered his head, he did not dare to respond to Lu Shikai's words.

Going out to sea is what Lu Shikai has been doing all the time. Usually, out of a dozen ships, only one can come back. The others who were sent out to sea have been locked up on those islands for mining. Mining is very difficult, and only All kinds of traitors or prisoners were sent.

Lu Yuanyou had seen the appearance of those miners before, and seeing his elder brother's face, he did not doubt the authenticity of these words at all.

"I know I was wrong." Lu Yuanyou immediately calmed down, "I will recall Mingde and the others..."

"No need." Lu Shikai raised his chin and ordered, "If you send more people there, you must protect Ning'er!"

"She's not even pregnant..." Lu Yuanyou muttered, "How can we need so many people?"

However, when Lu Shikai glanced coldly at him, he immediately fell silent.

"Brother, I still have some things to do, so I'll go get busy first." Lu Yuanyou casually found an excuse, and escaped from Lu Shikai's sight.

Only Lu Shikai and Xie Yan were left in the hall.

Xie Yan was still kneeling on the ground, even though he had explained clearly to Lu Shikai, he had no intention of getting up.

"Okay." Lu Shikai said coldly, "The news has already spread, what's the use of you kneeling in front of me? Why don't you keep your legs and kneel in Pei's mansion after returning to Beijing."

Yue Ming listened outside and gasped.

Lu Yuanyou signaled him to pass the news with his eyes, but Yue Ming was full of thoughts about Lu Shikai's words just now, and his heart ached for Xie Yan.

Seeing Lord Lu like this, I'm afraid the punishment for him will not be too light, what should I do?

Yue Ming's mind was spinning rapidly, and before he could open his mouth, he heard the voice of thanking the banquet inside: "You must kneel in front of uncle, and you must kneel after returning to Beijing."

"Although this is a matter of urgency, it will eventually affect Ning'er's reputation. This is all my fault." Xie Yan said sternly, "Please punish me, uncle."

"No need." Lu Shikai waved his hand, "If you can persuade the eldest princess after returning to Beijing, I don't need to punish you. If you can't persuade the eldest princess and marry Ning'er, isn't it the greatest punishment for you? Yet?"

Hearing this, Xie Yan's face instantly became extremely cold.

Seeing this, Lu Shikai sneered and said, "Now you know how to be angry? It's too late!"

He dropped these words, and strode towards the outside.

As soon as he came out, Yue Ming and Lu Yuanyou stood up straight and obediently without looking sideways, as if they were not the two who were eavesdropping.

And Lu Shikai's eyes full of disgust stayed on Lu Yuanyou for a long time, until Lu Yuanyou's scalp became numb, and he said quietly: "Lu Yuanyou, go to the Lu family ancestral hall and kneel! When will I receive a letter from Pei's family?" , come out again!"

"Yes." Lu Yuanyou pursed his lips, but he still agreed.

Yue Ming didn't dare to vent his anger. Seeing the two leave, he hurried in. Seeing that Xie Yan was still kneeling on the ground, he was extremely disturbed: "My lord, what are you..."

"Grinding ink." Xie Yan half-closed her phoenix eyes and said in a deep voice, "I want to write a letter and send it to the Temple of Mercy."

"Yes!" Yue Ming responded hastily, and quickly ran to the side.

Xie Yan was the only person left in the hall. If anyone was here, they would definitely notice that Xie Yan's calm pupils were beating waves of uneasiness.

When he thought of Lu Shikai's words just now, he couldn't help but think of Gu Ning.

The eyes of others are not important to him, only Ning'er...

Thinking of this, Xie Yan clenched his hands tightly.

……

The capital at that time.

"General Pei is seriously injured and unconscious?"

Gu Qingqiu tightly squeezed the handkerchief in his hand, looking at Banxia excitedly.

Ban Xia's expression was equally excited, and he said anxiously: "Your servants have inquired very clearly! The army has stayed at the Cihuai Temple in Cangzhou for more than ten days, but they still haven't seen their movements."

"Okay! Okay!" Gu Qingqiu laughed loudly, "Heaven has eyes! It would be best to take the lives of these sluts! What about Gu Ning?"

Ban Xia hesitated for a while, but was not sure how to answer.

Seeing her like this, Gu Qingqiu turned cold: "If you have something to say, do you want me to guess your mind?"

"No!" Banxia quickly waved her hand, "I just haven't heard much about Changning County Lord, and they say that she is heartbroken because of General Pei's serious injury, and she has been guarding General Pei for more than ten days. Before the bed, there is not much other news."

Gu Qingqiu gritted his teeth and said: "Why didn't the assassin sent by the emperor kill Gu Ning, that bitch!"

She hated Gu Ning to the point of madness. Hearing her words full of hatred, Ban Xia couldn't help but sink her heart. I don't know if the appearance of the Crown Princess is good or bad...

And Gu Qingqiu squeezed her hands tightly, rolled her eyes, and a thought came to her.

"If..." Gu Qingqiu murmured, "If I take this opportunity to get rid of Gu Ning, wouldn't it be a good thing for me?"

Ban Xia was stunned: "Crown Princess, we don't have much manpower left, I'm afraid it's not easy to plan..."

Gu Qingqiu didn't pay attention to her words at all. At this moment, all Gu Qingqiu thought about was the appearance of Gu Ning's tragic death. She laughed happily: "Pei Anlin is the backbone of the army. When he fell, people's hearts were scattered. Ning's care is naturally not so strict, and our people only need to kill Gu Ning during the chaos, and then a serious problem of my confidant will be solved!"

Ban Xia opened her mouth, wanting to remind Gu Qingqiu, but she was overwhelmed by the fierce look in Gu Qingqiu's eyes the moment he raised his head.

Gu Qingqiu put his fingers on the table and tapped lightly: "Go and find him, I want..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Qingqiu covered her chest, and a familiar pain hit her chest, causing her to subconsciously clenched the armrest, but even so, the pain in her chest didn't decrease by half.

"Miss!" Ban Xia's voice was extremely sharp, "What's wrong with you? The imperial physician! Hurry up and declare the imperial physician!"

However, Gu Qingqiu's face gradually returned to rosy from pale, Ban Xia watched her change in shock, but saw her bloody hands from the corner of the eye.

"Your hand..." Ban Xia carefully raised her hand, trying to touch Gu Qingqiu's hands.

Blood was continuously flowing out from Gu Qingqiu's broken nails, Gu Qingqiu seemed not aware of the pain, and his face did not change at all.

Seeing her like this, Ban Xia stood there uneasy, not knowing what to do.

"Bandage your hands for me." Gu Qingqiu stretched out his hand, with suppressed anger under his calm expression, "I'm going to find His Highness."

Ban Xia suddenly raised her head: "You mean..."

"The mother Gu backfired just now." Gu Qingqiu's voice was light and light, without any weight, "Mr. Yun said that there is only one reason for the irregular backlash... and that is the child Gu in his body..."

Gu Qingqiu pursed his lips, and said with difficulty: "That's why he was tempted, and that's why Zi Gu was troubled..."

She was unwilling to say this sentence no matter what, but Zi Gu had already retaliated twice, even if she didn't want to admit it, she had to succumb to reality.

Ban Xia tremblingly wrapped the gauze around Gu Qingqiu, her fingers were trembling: "If you find that person..."

"Kill." Gu Qingqiu curled his lips into a smile, and the smile in his eyes turned into bloodthirsty ruthlessness, "He is my chosen puppet, how can he fall in love with other people again? He betrayed me once, do you still want to betray me?" I can't do it the second time?"

Ban Xia only felt the chill rise from the floor and reach her Tian Ling Gai.

"Let's go." Gu Qingqiu lowered his eyes, looked at his scarred hands, and showed a cold smile: "Look at my hands."

Her fingertips have been wrapped in gauze, but the nail marks on her palm have never been covered up. The crescent-shaped scar on it represents her patience over the years.

Gu Qingqiu's eyes were cold and cold, Ban Xia didn't dare to look directly at him, so he could only say cautiously: "Crown Princess, this servant will go and announce the sedan chair for you."

"What kind of sedan chair do you want?" Gu Qingqiu smiled, "Just walk over there, I want to see what kind of woman that seduces His Highness looks like?"

Gu Qingqiu's voice was very gentle, but Ban Xia who was familiar with her knew that it was a manifestation of her anger.

In an instant, Ban Xia's heart hung high, and when she saw Gu Qingqiu walking out, she quickly raised her heels to follow.

In the main hall at this time, a man and a woman were sitting opposite each other.
