Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

At this time, the eunuch Xiao Xuzi followed into the courtyard.

He was quite smart, and when he saw the scene, he immediately became alert. He took out a dagger for self-defense from his sleeve and put it in Qin Zhaoyue's hand.

Qin Zhaoyue signaled him not to speak and stand behind her. He then slowly walked forward, gradually approaching the room where Lu Tianyun lived.

This is the Eastern Palace. Who dares, and who has the ability, to set up a trap here?

Qin Zhaoyue drank a little too much, and perhaps the alcohol made his judgment inaccurate. He did not immediately call the Donglin Guards on duty in the palace.

Of course, the gate of the courtyard, which should have been guarded all day, was also empty.

The gate of the courtyard was suddenly slammed shut with great force.

Qin Zhaoyue turned around suddenly, his drunkenness was finally completely blown away by the cool breeze, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"Who! Come out!" Qin Zhaoyue shouted loudly.

He was too relaxed - who would be at home, on their wedding night, still be vigilant? Qin Zhaoyue was not a god after all, he was just like everyone else.

He didn't dare to enter the room in front of him again. Lu Tianyun was probably in danger, and he couldn't take the risk.

The lanterns in the four corners suddenly lit up, and someone staggered out of the house. It was Lu Tianyun. He held a bloody sword in his hand, his hair was disheveled, and his expression on his scarred face was unclear. Behind him, three men in black also rushed out of the house, as if there had just been a fight in the house.

"Your Highness..." Lu Tianyun looked at him, and there seemed to be a light flashing in his eyes.

Has he regained consciousness?

"Tianyun!" Qin Zhaoyue shouted hoarsely.

Lu Tianyun staggered to his side, holding the iron sword, and turned to the three men in black who were chasing him. The men in black stopped, but they didn't seem to be intimidated by anything.

Qin Zhaoyue felt a sense of inexplicable discomfort.

However, he had no time to think about it, because footsteps were also heard behind him. Qin Zhaoyue turned around suddenly and saw several figures surrounding this small courtyard. He stared at the leader, waiting for him to come out of the darkness.

The man sauntered forward, sword in hand, the candlelight gradually illuminating his face.

Gu Xu.

Qin Zhaoyue's pupils contracted, and then he seemed to let out a breath of relief.

"It's you. I'm not surprised at all." Qin Zhaoyue's face showed a hint of anger of betrayal. "My feeling was right. From the beginning, you were hostile to me."

In this situation, how could Qin Zhaoyue not understand Gu Xu's intention?

I’m afraid he has been waiting for the day when the defenses would be loosened and the precautions would be relaxed for a long time.

"This statement is putting the cart before the horse." Gu Xu said in a low voice.

Qin Zhaoyue's throat tightened slightly and he made an expression of confusion.

Gu Xu gave a look to Wu Huo beside him.

Wu Huo smiled at Qin Zhaoyue and threw what he was holding at Qin Zhaoyue's feet.

The lantern light was too dim, but it was enough.

That's a hand.

The bloody hand seemed to have been chopped off not long ago, and blood was still flowing slowly from the broken part. There were only four fingers - no, the little finger was very short, only the length of one knuckle, so Qin Zhaoyue recognized that this was the hand of the adjutant of the captain of the Donglin Guard.

Wu Sheng...I'm afraid he's in danger. Did they even solve the Donglin Guards?

Qin Zhaoyue thought he knew something about Gu Xu, but he didn't expect that the facts were very different from his findings. Gu Xu actually had such a skill...

Where do all these people around him come from?

"Your Highness, have you recognized him?" Wu Huo said with a smile, "It's no use just recognizing him. Your Highness, you have to think carefully about what this adjutant has done before, so that you can understand the good intentions of your master."

Qin Zhaoyue looked at the smiling secret guard and could feel that this man's martial arts was the strongest among those present.

Wu Huo's words could not help but trigger his thoughts. Adjutant Wu Sheng, this person...

Qin Zhaoyue's face changed.

"You..." He looked at Gu Xu. Gu Xu had originally had a calm expression, but when he saw his face change, he finally smiled a little.

"Do you remember?" Gu Xu's voice was slightly hoarse. "Ten years ago, you sent Wu Sheng to lead a team of Donglin Guards, disguised as bandits, to brutally kill Gu Mengliu's family. Then you used words to induce Gu Dashi to abuse me in many ways, to torture me physically and mentally, so as to pave the way for you to help me in the future."

"Qin Zhaoyue, am I right?" Gu Xu asked softly.

Qin Zhaoyue's face darkened completely, and his back stiffened. He didn't know which step had leaked the news. Did Gu Dashi tell Gu Xu the truth?

No, Gu Dashi has no idea about the true feelings back then, he is a fake!

Gu Dashi... a fake... could it be the person behind Gu Dashi...

"Xiao Xu! Didn't you know that Gu Dashi was a fake?!" Qin Zhaoyue said angrily, "How can you take his words seriously? Why didn't you ask me first?"

Gu Xu just smiled.

Wu Huo acted as his spokesperson and immediately said with a smile: "Who told you that this was instigated by Gu Dashi? There was a witness to what happened back then, Your Highness, you don't know, do you?"

Qin Zhaoyue opened his eyes wide.

"Witnesses and such are not important. We just gently~asked Lord Wu Sheng, and he admitted it himself and told us the details clearly." Wu Huo was still smiling, "It's a pity that he lost too much blood and we didn't have time to save him."

They really killed Wu Sheng!

Qin Zhaoyue gritted his teeth and looked at Gu Xu again: "Xiao Xu, I was confused about what happened back then, but my intention to form an alliance was genuine. Although I used some tricks... you let me down like this, aren't you too ruthless?!"

Gu Xu felt annoyed.

"Betrayal, ruthlessness..." He said slowly, "I know that everything is just for the Chaozhen Army. Qin Zhaoyue, you don't have to be so hypocritical."

"Don't think so shallowly of me!" Qin Zhaoyue seemed to straighten her chest. "I know that the fake Gu Dashi has been instigating us in every way. You are influenced by him and have some prejudices... But I sincerely regard you as a friend, and I also want to take care of the orphans of my old friend. If you don't believe me, you should believe your mother! I still have Su Huaiyue's letters from that year..."

enough.

Gu Xu didn't want to talk much with Qin Zhaoyue, but some things still needed to be made clear.

"Zhao Fu. Qin Zhaoyue, do you think you are the only one in the world who is the smartest and the most powerful?" Gu Xu sneered, "You tied me to the Jing family. What is your intention? Do you think I don't know?"

The Su family and the Jing family, when combined, would pose a huge threat to anyone's throne.

Why does Qin Zhaoyue still do this?

Gu Xu didn't know the specific plan, but he could guess the subsequent measures.

Whether he is using his identity as the grandson of the Su family to appease the Jing family now, or using his and Jing Yu's identities to eliminate hidden dangers in the future, Gu Xu can't see a trace of sincerity in it.

Nausea.

This person is equally disgusting in both his past and present lives.
