A big change occurred in Beijing. Overnight, almost everyone knew about Gu Jiuqing's assassination of the Queen Mother.
What was even more frightening than this was that the Bai family father and son led troops to surround the emperor overnight.
Although a conflict did not occur, the Bai family was deprived of military power.
There are different opinions in the capital, and people are panicked, always feeling that something is going to change.
But at this time, Gu Jiuqing, who was locked up in a separate garden, knew nothing about it.
She woke up and found herself under house arrest.
The huge mansion has all the facilities, so she can go wherever she wants, but as long as she wants to leave, a few secret guards will appear from nowhere and drag her back again.
These people were like wood. No matter how much she tried to make insinuations, they would not reveal any information to her.
Even if she used hypnosis, these people would not respond at all.
Gu Jiuqing even tried to roll around, but it was of no use.
Various poisons have been used, but they are of no use to these people!
Gu Jiuqing lived in such a frustrating life for three full days!
This was the first time that she had tasted the feeling of living like a year. It was so unnatural!
Just when sores almost appeared on her mouth, finally, a familiar person appeared.
Mu Canngling? How could it be him!
It would be a lie to say I wasn’t surprised!
Gu Jiuqing looked at him, stunned for a moment, and then immediately became alert.
"fraud!"
Seeing Gu Jiuqing's appearance as a sky eagle, Mu Canling couldn't help but laugh.
"What did I lie to you about?" He still smiled warmly, but unfortunately in Gu Jiuqing's eyes, he was just a smiling tiger.
Gu Jiuqing didn't want to talk to him, but said coldly: "I wonder what the King of Yue's purpose is for putting me under house arrest here? There should be nothing in me worthy of your plot!"
It was true that Mu Canngling was ill at the beginning, and it was also true that she had been treating him for so long.
Sadly, she had always thought that he was a hostage sent from Xiliang and was a soft persimmon to be manipulated.
Now it seems that this is clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing.
She really underestimated him!
While in trance, Mu Canling sighed helplessly: "I have no ill intentions in keeping you here! I just want to protect you and repay your life-saving grace!"
"It's not necessary." Gu Jiuqing said with a smile, "The life-saving grace was not small. If you hadn't done it intentionally, King Yue, this life-saving grace would not have fallen on me."
It is very possible that this guy used a bitter trick.
"I know you won't trust me for a while, but it doesn't matter. When this disaster in the capital is over, I will naturally let you go." Mu Canling looked quite sincere.
"What calamity? What are you going to do?" Gu Jiuqing suddenly became concerned.
She knew that Xiliang had no good intentions.
Thinking of Xiliang, he has not had much contact with the other three countries for many years. He is mysterious and does not interfere with others.
In the past few years, they suddenly launched an attack on Daliang, and later many generals suffered defeats at the hands of Xiliang.
But when it was the Bai family's turn to go to war, they were lucky enough to win.
This time Daliang was proud and proud, Xiliang even volunteered to send protons.
Now that I think about it, maybe they were all conspiring.
This is the plan to insert the chess piece into Daliang's heart!
As if he had read her thoughts, Mu Canling said with a helpless smile: "Don't worry, we are not as miserable as you think. Moreover, I really didn't do anything! But didn't the princess learn from this incident? Can you smell anything?"
What happened this time was naturally referring to her murdering the Queen Mother and being imprisoned in the sky prison.
Moreover, there are people who want to take the opportunity to kill her in the prison!
Thinking of this, Gu Jiuqing's expression became more solemn.
Mu Canling struck while the iron was hot and said: "The real mastermind should be the person behind the scenes against you.
You have been away from Beijing recently, so naturally you don’t know the news from Beijing. But I can tell you a little bit. I wonder what you want to hear?
What about the King of Jin, the Bai family, or the emperor and queen? "
"What happened to the Bai family? How is my uncle and cousin?" Gu Jiuqing didn't want to care about the lives of those insignificant people.
When Mu Canling heard this, he smiled lightly and said, "They are either good or not!"
Gu Jiuqing, "..."
There's no need to be pretentious, she doesn't want to listen to his nonsense.
But after all, this person was her only source of information, so she still said patiently: "Please explain to me in detail."
"The good thing is that they are now at ease and will not be feared by the emperor for the time being." Mu Canling said,
"It's not good. Naturally, their military power was taken back by the emperor. But as generals like them, they are more useful than that military power. Therefore, the emperor will not touch them for the time being."
"Why were they surrendered?" Gu Jiuqing frowned, "Is it because of me?"
It stands to reason that on the surface, she is more likely to be involved in the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, which is still far away from the Bai family.
It’s really not that bad!
Mu Canling immediately answered her doubts, "Because there was a fire in the prison, they led the troops in to save you.
They were lucky that they were not charged with rebellion on the spot! "
Hearing this, Gu Jiuqing's eyes moved slightly.
She knew that no matter what time, her uncle and cousin were her closest relatives and would never give up on her!
She was moved, and she also understood the seriousness of this matter.
Now that their reputation is high, the emperor naturally does not dare to deal with them easily.
But I can't stand to settle accounts with the queen. The current emperor is not a generous person. I'm afraid he will find a way to deal with them in the future!
As if he saw her worries, Mu Canling sneered: "Don't worry! What you are worried about won't happen. Your Majesty, he doesn't have the energy recently."
"What's wrong with him?" Gu Jiuqing asked.
"I'm sick, I've contracted the epidemic, and I can't get up!" Mu Canling sneered, "Many people in Beijing have been infected with the epidemic recently. The plague that you tried so hard to stop finally dispersed!"
Gu Jiuqing's face was very ugly. He had been exposed to such a disease personally and he understood the horror of this disease very well.
With such a huge population base in Beijing and such a large flow of people, it would be a very scary thing for it to spread.
It was obviously almost under control back then!
"Don't worry, it's not that you don't work hard enough, it's that the people behind the scenes need this plague!" Mu Canling said sarcastically, "Since ancient times, there has been no change of political power without bloodshed and sacrifice. Just get used to it!"
The results of working hard for so long fell short all of a sudden. It would be a lie to say that I am not sad.
But now is not the time to be decadent, she must leave here.
In that most dangerous place, there are the relatives she cares about the most, and...
"I want to go back! Let me go!" Gu Jiuqing said seriously.
"Now that we have withdrawn from that whirlpool, there is no need to go back. Isn't it good to live a simple and happy life?" Mu Canling's eyes were a little cold.
"It won't be until that time." Gu Jiuqing said sternly, "I promised him that I would give him no worries."
"Him?" Mu Canling was slightly startled, then suddenly said clearly, "Cang Liyuan?"
Gu Jiuqing said nothing, Quan took it as acquiescence.
The plague had not yet been eliminated in Beijing and important things happened on the border, so she had to stay.
Since you stayed, since you promised him, you can't break your promise.
His thoughts were whirling, and Gu Jiuqing's eyes fell on Mu Canling again.
"Let me go, or I'll kill you." Gu Jiuqing said, suddenly activated the mechanism and attacked him.
