Behind the layers of bead curtains, Pei Anyang was half lying on the soft bed.

She had heard the quarrel outside a long time ago, and now her graceful face was condensed, and her eyes were colder than ever before.

"How dare she hurt you!"

Pei Anyang opened his mouth excitedly, but coughed heavily again.

"She is harming others and eventually harming herself." Seeing this scene, Gu Ning quickly persuaded, "Mother, don't worry, am I standing in front of you in a good manner?"

"As for the bandits breaking into Taixu Temple, mother doesn't have to worry, the one who was taken away was Gu Yunwan."

"Yun Wan?" Pei Anyang said worriedly, "As a woman, once this matter gets out..."

Gu Ning saw that she was really worried about Gu Yunwan, so he simply told what Gu Yunwan had done: "In fact, those bandits were found by Gu Yunwan, and the target was me, but for some reason, those bandits took me away. her."

Pei Anyang was stunned, the blood in his whole body seemed to freeze at this moment.

After a while, she asked in a hoarse voice: "Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true." Gu Ning opened his eyes wide and looked at Pei Anyang innocently, "At this time she said it herself, it is said that... it was Gu Qingqiu who encouraged her to harm me, but Gu Qingqiu suddenly rebelled and put those marks on the I entered her room, making the bandit mistakenly think it was my residence, so..."

Hearing the news suddenly, Pei Anyang covered his chest, unable to recover for a long time.

Gu Yunwan and Gu Qingqiu were both raised by her. Their parents are not in the capital, so she treats them as her own. They also have what Gu Ning has. Even Gu Qingqiu has the reputation of being a talented woman today. , it was all her intentional promotion, she just wanted the two of them to marry a good family.

But she never expected that they would deliberately murder their daughter!

Pei Anyang was trembling all over, and her pale face was stained with an unhealthy blush. She squeezed the brocade quilt under her body tightly, and gritted her teeth: "How dare they harm you! I will never let them go!"

Gu Ning was watching her from the sidelines, seeing her angry face, he let go of his heart a little.

It seems that no matter how kind Pei Anyang is in his heart, he will become a lioness protecting cubs for his daughter.

"Ning'er, come here." Pei Anyang waved to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning seemed puzzled, but he still obeyed obediently.

Only Pei Anyang whispered in her ear: "You can enter the palace with my warrant and ask mother to protect you!"

"I have hundreds of guards left by my uncle, they can't hurt me." Gu Ning was very confident, "Mother can rest assured."

"No!" Pei Anyang's voice suddenly became sharper.

But under Gu Ning's suspicious gaze, she managed to maintain her rationality: "Gu Yunwan is just a young lady raised in a deep boudoir, how can she have the ability to contact bandits? I'm afraid there is someone behind her!"

"Their target is you!" When Pei Anyang said this, his eyes became terrified, "Ning'er, listen to me and go to the palace now, only mother can protect you!"

Gu Ning was a little shocked at this moment, he never thought that Pei Anyang, who was always naive and ignorant of the world, would have such a keen intuition.

"Ahem!" Pei Anyang coughed violently, and subconsciously covered his mouth with a handkerchief, but after loosening the handkerchief, the bright red blood stains on the white handkerchief were particularly obvious.

Without a moment's hesitation, she immediately wanted to hide the veil.

But Gu Ning was so sharp-eyed, she snatched the handkerchief over, and when she saw the blood on it, she felt a thump in her heart.

Pei Anyang's illness worsened again!

"System, scan this house!"

She made up her mind, she would rather owe luck on credit than find out the crisis hidden around Pei Anyang.

The system also knew the urgency of the matter, and simply placed the scanned image in front of Gu Ning.

"Red means toxins."

And in this three-dimensional picture, at first glance, it is actually a piece of red.

Teacups, teacups, tables and chairs, all kinds of utensils, and these pearl curtains, even the jade pillow that Pei Anyang rested on was all red!

Gu Ning has been rampant in the system tower for many years, and has completed countless tasks, but all of this in front of her makes her feel as if she is in an ice cellar, and her whole body is icy cold!

Basic necessities of life, no matter which one, are full of toxins.

Pei Anyang was already weak, and she was in such an environment all year round, so she was lucky if she didn't die.

What made her feel even more horrified was Gu Zhiyuan's vicious intentions.

Pei Anyang treated him sincerely. He not only poisoned Pei Anyang, but also used such insidious methods to torture Pei Anyang all the time!

Her eyes were full of murderous intent at this moment.

"Ning'er, this is an old problem, don't worry about me." Pei Anyang smiled gently in order to appease Gu Ning.

But then, she coughed again.

Gu Ning closed his eyes, the killing intent reached its peak at this moment.

She clenched her hands tightly, and her sharp nails dug into her palms. Only pain could keep her rational and awake.

"Okay." Gu Ning nodded, and said softly, "I'll go to the palace to invite my grandmother back, and bring the imperial physician along, you have to rest well, and don't listen to those people's words anymore."

Seeing her let go, Pei Anyang felt relieved and smiled very gently: "Go."

Gu Ning walked out slowly, hatred spreading inch by inch.

Gu Zhiyuan!

She must make him pay the price!

Chunyu was waiting at the door, seeing Gu Ning's face, she felt bad.

Could it be that something happened to the princess?

"Amber."

Gu Ning looked at Hu Zhu suddenly.

Seeing the murderous look in her eyes, Hu Zhu was startled, and asked tremblingly: "What's wrong with the princess? Slave..."

"Come here, I have something to say to you." Gu Ning smiled and waved to her gently.

Hu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked to Gu Ning's side.

At this time, Gu Ning's words made her pupils constrict.

"Why do you want to do this? What should I do if I hurt the princess?"

"If you believe me, just do as I say." Gu Ning endured his impatience and said word by word, "If you don't believe me, then don't blame me for sending you back to the princess mansion first, and then let Chunyu help!"

Huzhu's eyes changed several times, and finally she gritted her teeth and said, "This servant naturally believes in the county master!"

"Remember, you must do what I say, and don't leave any traces." Gu Ning said softly, "It's up to you whether you can find the antidote."

Huzhu's spirit was shocked, and she didn't dare to miss every word Gu Ning said.

……

A carriage left from the side door of Gu Mansion.

Gu Zhiyuan counted the people Gu Ning took away and heaved a sigh of relief.

If Gu Ning doesn't go to the Eldest Princess, he has to be vigilant instead. Now it seems that even though Gu Ning is smarter, he is still the idiot who only asks the Eldest Princess for help when encountering problems.

"Is there any change in Gu Zhiyuan?"

"If you go back to the county master, there is nothing unusual."

Chunyu's words made Gu Ning's tense nerves relax.

But soon, she sat up straight again.

The person who spoke just now was Xie Yan who appeared suddenly.

When she saw Xie Yan, her eyes wandered, and her cheeks were flushed.

Who can tell her, isn't Xie Yan sent to investigate the whereabouts of those bandits?How could he come back suddenly?

As if aware of Gu Ning's doubts, Xie Yan's thin lips curled slightly: "Those bandits have already been captured."

Gu Ning's beautiful eyes widened: "So fast?"

"They are all bandits who do all kinds of evil. Naturally, they have to spend the money they get. It is impossible to stay on the mountain for a lifetime. As long as they squat at the city gate, they can be found."

Xie Yan's understated words did not mention at all the dangers he faced when he led several people to capture these dozens of bandits.

He saw that Gu Ning's frowning eyebrows were loosened, and his eyes became more gentle.

Chunyu's eyes sized up the two of them, secretly worried.

How can this be good?

Originally thought that only the county lord was in unrequited love, but now even this one fell in love, then in the future...

At this moment, the carriage stopped.

Already at the gate of the palace.

Gu Ning didn't have time to elaborate with Xie Yan, so he only told him: "You must take good care of people, and there must be no damage."

With that said, she opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.

The palace gate is majestic, Gu Ning raised his head, his eyes were inexplicable.

"Master, please."

The chariot was already prepared, and the eunuch stood beside Gu Ning attentively, with a flattering face.

Gu Ning raised his eyebrows, and proudly sat on the chariot with Chunyu's support.

"I'm going to see my grandmother."

"The Eldest Princess is in the Empress Dowager's Palace. It just so happens that the Empress Dowager misses you very much. It is just right for you to go to the Empress Dowager's Palace now."

Gu Ning heard some other meanings from it.

The queen mother wants to see herself?

In her memory, she hated herself the most, wishing she could send a hundred nuns to relieve her perverse and hostile spirit.

It seems that this trip to the palace will be full of twists and turns.

She propped her chin, seemingly bored, but she was already secretly vigilant.

What is the Queen Mother's intention?

The chariot was moving slowly, and on the side of the long and narrow palace road, another group of people met her on a narrow road.

"Gu Ning, you still dare to enter the palace!"

Following the woman's shrill voice, the chariot stopped, and the guards and eunuchs saluted the visitor one after another.

"See the four princesses!"

The fourth princess's delicate face was distorted due to anger, she pointed at Gu Ning, her tone was very impatient: "You get out now, I can barely let you go for the sake of Brother Huang!"

It turned out to be the fourth princess, the biological sister of Chu Yunyi's mother and compatriots.

Gu Ning raised his eyebrows: "What if I don't agree?"

"Then I'll send someone to drive you out!" The fourth princess said with a grim expression, "If you don't listen to me, I'll go find Brother Huang! Let Brother Huang not marry you!"

Gu Ning almost laughed out loud, is there such a good thing?

She propped her chin lazily, and said lazily, "Then I'll wait and see."

"You!" The fourth princess was trembling with anger, "How dare you ignore me! You won't even salute me when you see me!"

"After all, the walking chariot was given by the empress. If I got off the chariot, wouldn't I have failed the empress's wishes?" Gu Ning said leisurely, "The empress dowager is still waiting for me, so I won't chat with the princess anymore. .”
