"You know, in this world, people die all the time. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if a little girl like you is killed. However, I don't want you to die in vain, or even be used by others and die with hatred."
Gu Li's words were a bit exaggerated, but that was not the case. Even if Ying Ning made a move, she would only be caught. Her current skill was still weak. Even if she made a sudden move, it would be impossible to hurt Huangfu Ying.
"What do you know?" Yingning's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she took a step back and distanced herself from Gu Li.
Gu Li didn't take it seriously, her eyes fell on the corpse on the ground, and she slowly opened her mouth and told a story.
"Five days ago, Juan Niang, a master of Qingyin Pavilion, was a master of both sex and skill. She was summoned by the Queen to perform in the palace."
"But I didn't expect that when I came back five days later, it was already a corpse. It was obvious that someone had gouged out the eyes and chopped off both hands before death. It is conceivable that he had experienced inhuman torture before death."
"The person who sent her body back said that Juan Niang seduced the emperor and was punished to death by the queen. Her only disciple and adopted daughter did not believe it at first. After asking around, she found out that the queen was jealous of Juan Niang's beauty and deliberately found trouble to punish Juan Niang. So, she wanted to kill the queen’s only son to take revenge. But, she couldn’t kill him.”
As Gu Li told the story, Yingning's expression became more and more angry, and finally the anger turned to sadness: "Yes, I can't enter the palace and kill the queen, but I am tortured by hatred day and night, what must I do? , to be worthy of my mother, even if I die, I will only be reunited with my mother. I have never told anyone these things, how did you know about it? "
Ying Ning's eyes suddenly brightened, and he shot at Gu Li like a sword. Looking at the dagger handed to him, Gu Li's expression did not change: "Don't ask me how I know, do you really believe that the queen will do it because of your mother's beauty?" And kill her so cruelly?"
"There are many concubines in the palace, all of them are as beautiful as flowers, and their family backgrounds are powerful. How would the Queen care about a piano player with no foundation? To put it bluntly, even if the Emperor takes your mother in, the Queen's status will not be affected at all. "
"There may be something hidden behind the truth. You may have been taken advantage of." Of course Gu Li knew all the truth, but if she told it all, it would arouse the alertness of this vigilant girl. Only by telling part of it half-heartedly, It can arouse the other party's curiosity and pursue further investigation.
"However, the order to punish my mother was indeed issued by the queen. I can confirm this..." Yingning's voice gradually became quieter because she also discovered the loopholes in this matter.
Yes, the punishment order was issued by the Queen. Is it possible that someone else did the punishment?
"So, who are you?" Yingning pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Gu Li. The alertness in his eyes did not diminish at all, and he passed the dagger forward again, "Why did you save me?"
Hearing Ying Ning's explanation of why he saved her, Gu Li immediately became unhappy. Was she the one saved for free? Why didn't you mention her twenty taels of silver?
"Why did I save you? Don't you have any idea why I saved you? I bought you for twenty taels of silver, and you are mine now! Private property is sacred and inviolable, do you understand?" Gu Li wiped the top of her head. Khan, today’s little girls are too smart and can’t get by without making jokes.
Seeing Gu Li's extremely frustrated look, Ying Ning's originally cold and solemn expression became slightly moved. It seemed to be - surprise? She was surprised that besides her mother, there was such an interesting person.
After Gu Li finished speaking, he saw that Ying Ning's expression was changing. Finally, he knelt down, saluted, and shouted: "Master!"
As soon as she knelt down, Gu Li became a little uneasy again: "Hurry up, hurry up, since you are mine, you must listen to me from now on. Get rid of this habit of kneeling all the time."
Ying Ning was a little surprised. Don't these masters just like their slaves to kneel down and worship them? What they like is the sense of control of being condescending and looking down on their subordinates, right?
"But Master..."
Just as Yingning was about to speak again, Gu Li interrupted her again: "Moreover, this master's title also needs to be changed. Just call me...Sister Li!"
"Understand?" Yingning was a little strange, why did he call his master "understanding"? Could it be that, long live understanding? Master, do you want to be Long Live? The master wants to usurp the throne?
Of course, Gu Li didn't know what was going on in Ying Ning's mind. If she knew, she would definitely regret saving this little girl. She pondered for a moment and said, "You should bury your mother first, and then you can take this letter with you." In this place, go to Doctor Li and tell him that I sent you to help him. Doctor Li owes me a favor and he will take you in."
Gu Li pondered for a moment, but still did not take Ying Ning with her. She was not afraid of trouble, but she was afraid of attracting the attention of the chess player behind her. Dr. Li received her formula a few days ago, so he would not fail to help, not to mention that he would not suffer any loss.
"Thank you, Sister Li." Yingning did not kneel down, but bowed to Gu Li.
"Don't think about taking revenge or finding out the truth alone. If you believe me, I will help you find the real murderer, but it's not the time yet." Gu Li put away the smile on her face and said seriously.
Yingning nodded lightly, and when she raised her head again, she found that the person talking and laughing in front of her had disappeared.
Gu Li looked at the sky. Today was a holiday. Her elder brother Gu Chen was also back. He happened to go to Tianxiangju to buy some delicious food. By the way, he discussed with his brothers about buying a house in Qianjing.
The entrance of Tianxiangju was extremely lively at this time, crowded with people watching the excitement. In the middle, an old man was being surrounded and pushed by the waiters of Tianxiangju. After listening to the comments of the people around him, Gu Li realized that this old man did not pay for meals, and asked My family doesn’t seem to remember either.
Alzheimer's disease? This doesn't look like him either. Gu Li looked at the old man. He was quite energetic. There was an indescribable sense of nobility in his words and deeds. He should have come from a good upbringing.
"You are buying and selling by force. Before I ate, you didn't say you wanted money. Now you say you want money, isn't that selling by force?" The old man said plausibly.
"Old man, how many people don't pay you when you go out to eat? You don't know what's good and what's wrong. That's why I, Tianxiangju, want to save face, so I didn't beat you up and send you to the official!" The waiter on the side grabbed the old man's collar and pulled him away. He raised it and said viciously.
"If you have something to say, please don't do it. Don't do it." The old man was frightened for a moment. He was like a puppet without a soul. He was lifted and swayed in the air. He rolled his eyes and saw Gu Li, who was holding his shoulders and watching the excitement in the crowd, his eyes lit up.
Gu Li instantly realized that trouble was about to come, and turned around to run away, but saw the old man moving faster than Gu Li, pressing down on Gu Li's shoulder: "Girl, don't be angry, I am your father after all. , can you bear to watch dad get beaten up by these people?"
Gu Li's heart skipped a beat, yes, this was an old drama.
