Gu Tingfang was in the shadows, but there was a domineering feeling around her that made people surrender.
Yin Luzhu lowered his eyes gently, "Your Majesty, was it you who shot this arrow?"
Unexpectedly, she would ask such a question. Gu Tingfang was stunned for a moment, but still nodded.
In fact, even he was puzzled. When Shi Yan threw the long sword at Yin Luzhu, he subconsciously took the long bow and blocked it.
But if he didn't do this, Yin Luzhu would die tonight, and the Chu Xiang Palace would have no successor, and the military power would eventually fall into his hands.
When the time comes, he will be able to appease King Chu Xiang if he needs to kill Shi Yan, and no one in the world will dare to say anything wrong about him.
But right now...
Gu Tingfang sighed inaudibly.
This impulse really came out of nowhere, and I really regret it.
Looking at Gu Tingfang's weird expression, Yin Luzhu pursed his lips silently.
"Thank you for saving me, Your Majesty."
Gu Tingfang glanced at Yin Luzhu and said solemnly: "Come with me."
"..." Yin Luzhu tightened his fists hanging by his sides, and finally followed him silently.
In the Zhaode Palace, there is a throne full of authority, shining with golden light, swearing the dignity and power of the Lord.
After a long silence, Gu Tingfang said: "Yin Luzhu, slaughtered the imperial officials, do you really not want this life?"
This seemed to be the first time that Gu Tingfang spoke in such a calm tone. There was no thunder and anger, no sinisterness and treachery in it, but a calmness that Yin Luzhu could not understand.
She raised her eyes to look at Gu Tingfang in confusion.
He was completely hidden under the light, looking particularly lonely. The moonlight shone on his head, ancient history danced, the haze receded, and life revived.
Even in a life that was reviled by others, he was still the Lord of Yin who was full of strength and passion, guarding the mountains and rivers and shining on everyone.
Yin Luzhu felt an unspeakable sadness in his heart.
"I am aware of my guilt."
Gu Tingfang rubbed the center of his eyebrows with a headache, "Yin Luzhu, I always feel that you are different."
Hearing this, Yin Luzhu's long eyelashes trembled slightly.
"I just want to save Ji Yanchen, not to harm Shi Yan's life. If he hadn't been aggressive..."
"I suddenly miss the Yin Luzhu of the past."
Before Yin Luzhu could finish speaking, Gu Tingfang suddenly said this.
She was slightly startled.
Then Gu Tingfang sighed, "In the past, Yin Luzhu, even though he was a playboy, often got into trouble, had no ambitions, and could not be put to great use, at least... he had no ambitions. You now make me... seem to see myself in the past."
Yin Luzhu's pupils suddenly shrank. Just as she was about to kneel down to plead guilty, she heard Gu Tingfang say: "Let Ji Yan Shen Gu be let go. I will never kill him in this life, but Yin Luzhu, Ji Xuan, she will die!"
Listening to Gu Tingfang's firm tone, Yin Luzhu bowed.
"Your Majesty, please give me another month. Within one month, Ji Xuan's head will be sacrificed!"
Yin Luzhu's every word is like the force of thunder.
And what Gu Tingfang wanted was her guarantee.
After getting a satisfactory answer, he waved his hand and said, "Just step back."
"yes."
With complicated emotions, Yin Luzhu walked out of the Great Yin Palace.
Gu Tingfang seemed a little weird tonight, but she couldn't tell why.
…
Late at night, the only sounds in Zhaode Hall were the sound of Gu Tingfang reviewing memorials, the smell of calligraphy and painting, and the sound of his sleeves fluttering.
