"No, no. Please be merciful, Master Gu, and don't kill us. We are forced to do nothing. If you are willing not to kill us, then from now on, we will obey your orders."
The three of them looked at Gu Yi in horror, hoping that the other party would not take action.
When Gu Yi saw them saying this, the hand he originally raised fell down instantly.
"Since you have said so, I will reluctantly give you another chance, but this time you must seize this opportunity firmly. If I find out that you betrayed me, I will definitely Let you die without a burial place."
Facing Gu Yi's reminder, everyone naturally understood it and nodded crazily:
"Don't worry, we will take care of you and not make things difficult for you. As long as you don't kill us, we will tell you everything we know."
Gu Yi didn't expect that he would have an unexpected surprise, but it made him a little curious.
Is there anything else that he doesn't know about the queen? Gu Yi gently raised the corner of his mouth and asked:
"Besides this matter, what else do you know, and you haven't resorted to it."
"Yes, when something happened to His Highness Yeli three years ago, the Queen actually sent the three of us to assassinate him. However, His Highness Yeli did die under our swords. We only left after watching His Highness die. of."
"It's just that we didn't expect that he would be rescued by you. At the beginning, we were still surprised that he had been killed by us, but he appeared in front of us in good condition."
"So that's what it was like, but when you first took action, did the Queen tell you the reason why you took action?"
Gu Yi knocked on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.
In fact, he really couldn't figure out what role the queen played in this whole thing.
Even if Ye Li is not her child, there is no need for her to kill a child, but the other party did this, which is really confusing.
"The queen didn't tell us at the time, she just asked us to do it. As for the rest, we don't know."
"Oh. By the way. I remember one time, because we were meeting the queen in advance, we heard outside that she seemed to have taken action because she didn't want Her Highness Yeli to compete with her children for the throne. I don't know if it was for this reason. .”
"Actually, there are many rumors about this matter in the palace, but it's never clear which one is true."
Yeli heard this and sneered:
"What else could it be? It's just because I'm not his child, so she can't tolerate me. But if she wants to take my life, she's still a little too young. If it were in the past, your heads would have been moved. If it weren't for the fact that you are still useful, I would take action immediately."
When the three heard this, they couldn't help but shrink their necks. They didn't want to be killed.
He began to plead for himself:
"Sect Master Gu, we really didn't want to hurt you. If we wanted to hurt you, we could do it in the dead of night instead of during the day. You see, we didn't cause any harm to you. For your sake, let us go."
"Of course I can let you go. But you definitely can't leave here. I just don't know if you are willing?"
Gu Yi thought that their mission had failed now. If they went back, he didn't know how the queen would treat them. It would be better to let them live under his nose.
Anyway, he likes to let his enemies live under his nose.
Only this is the most reassuring.
"If you can protect us, we will definitely not return to the palace again, as long as you are willing."
The three of them naturally understood what Gu Yi meant by what he said to them just now. The other party had already made it so obvious. If they didn't follow suit, it would be a slap in the face to Gu Yi.
They still have some discernment.
"In that case, let's stay here for now. If you need anything, remember to come to me at any time. Go down."
Gu Yi winked at Qin Yu who was beside him, and Qin Yu immediately took the three people to the guest room and settled them down.
Fengque and Yeli stayed where they were:
"Didn't you just say that you would kill them? But it ended up like this? Master, what you said. We really don't know whether to believe it. Do you want to hide it from us?"
"Of course not, I just think the three of them are still useful. When we want to overthrow the queen later, they will be very useful. When did I think about things beyond my head? After such a long time, haven't you guys? Do you understand?"
Gu Yi said.
Seeing Gu Yi like this, the two of them sighed helplessly:
"It's because we know what you are like that we are like this. In the final analysis, it is not because of the things we have experienced. There are too many things. We still need time to settle. Since you have said so, we just listen. .”
After that, Fengque and Yeli left the front hall.
On the other side, the queen has been waiting for news in the palace, but no news has come, which really makes her a little worried.
If the matter is revealed, there is no telling what kind of ripples it will cause.
Thinking of this, the queen became even more restless.
I thought, and sent someone to investigate again, but the palace maid next to me stopped her:
"Empress, you have just sent someone to leave. You cannot attract the attention of others. If something really happens, there will definitely be news, so we will wait slowly."
"That's all it can do. After all, I don't know if they can succeed. I don't know what Gu Yi's strength is, so I sent a few martial arts sects there. I just hope this thing can succeed."
The queen was always panicking, fearing that those few people would miss her, and fearing that she would fall.
There were so many worries that scared her.
The palace maid naturally saw the queen's worry, but she didn't know how to persuade her. She could only ask the queen to calm down.
"Empress, if you can, why don't you go find the emperor to find out? Maybe there will be news from the emperor?"
"You are right, I will go find the emperor now."
When the queen heard the maid's reminder, she immediately stood up and prepared to go find the emperor.
But before she could walk out of the room, the emperor came to his residence first:
"I heard that you are looking for me. It just so happens that I also have something to ask you. I just wonder if the queen has time to answer it for me?"
The moment the queen saw Ye Chen, she kneeled down subconsciously:
"I wonder what the emperor has to do with his concubine?"
"Look at how scared you are. I wanted to ask you if you were planning something bad again behind my back. Originally, I was going to go to Gu Yi to ask about the situation, but news came that Gu Yi The leader is injured. I thought you were the only one who could do such a thing, so I wanted to ask."
Ye Chen looked at the queen with cold eyes. He really had nothing to say to the queen. After all, she did many small things without him seeing it. Although he always did it for the sake of the relationship between the couple, Never pursued.
But Gu Yi's injury was a big deal.
If the Queen really did this, they would be doomed.
The queen did not expect that her plan would really succeed.
She was very happy in her heart. Although the other party was only slightly injured, it was already very difficult for her.
I just didn't expect that the emperor would question himself immediately after learning the news.
For a moment, she really didn't know how to answer.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know about the injury to the head of Gu. If we should go and visit the head of Gu, please be prepared."
When Ye Chen saw the queen saying this, he said nothing more:
"Since you don't know about this matter, I can rest assured. If this matter was done by you, I really don't know how to explain this matter to Master Gu. Fortunately, you have nothing to do with this matter. "
When the queen heard this, she was very upset.
If she couldn't let the emperor know the truth of the whole matter, she wouldn't choose to hide it.
Fortunately, the emperor did not continue to ask questions, otherwise, she would definitely reveal her secret.
"Your Majesty, why don't I go with you to visit Master Gu? After all, he was killed at the feet of the Emperor. Naturally, this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated. Otherwise, if others find out about this matter, they still don't know. How they would laugh at us.”
Ye Chen nodded:
"You are right. If that's the case, then you can accompany me."
"yes."
So, the emperor took the queen to Gu Yi's residence. When Yeli and the others saw the emperor and the queen, they knew that the trap set by Gu Yi had begun to operate.
It's just that the queen looked defensive, because she was afraid that they would do something unseen without the other party seeing it.
When Feng Que saw the emperor and empress preparing to enter Gu Yi's room, he came to them and stopped them:
"I'm really sorry, the sect master is still resting. It's not suitable to meet people. Why don't you two please go back now? If the sect master wakes up, I will notify you when I get back."
"So that's it. It's really because we didn't understand the situation and we were presumptuous. I brought this to Master Gu to replenish his health. I hope you will accept it."
After saying that, Ye Chen handed the things in his hands to Feng Que's hands.
Then leave.
After seeing the two of them leaving, Fengque directly threw aside the things Ye Chen sent:
"I really thought everyone would like the things they sent. It's just that they didn't intend to kill Gu Yi. Looking at the Queen's behavior just now, you can tell that the other party has murderous intentions. It seems that we will have a good relationship from today on. Be on guard against them.”
"I didn't expect them to be so impatient. When they heard the news that the leader was injured, they came to find out the truth. It surprised me."
Yeli originally thought that they could spread the news in Gu Yi, but they would have to wait at least for a while before coming.
Who knew that the other party didn't want to wait any longer.
