In the car, Shen Rou thought about what would happen if Gu Li was captured by the people from Dark Night Island. The more she thought about it, the happier she became. Her body swayed back and forth with the carriage, but the more she thought about it, the more proud she became.
All this was forced on her by Gu Li, who was seeking her own death.
The next day, Shen Rou got up early. After washing herself, she sent her maid to the concierge to wait for news to see if there was any news about Gu Li being kidnapped, or disappearing suddenly, or dying suddenly.
However, after waiting for a whole morning, there was no news. Shen Rou was a little surprised. How could it be possible? She had already received the news that an entire branch of Dark Night Island had been taken away. This must have been done by Gu Li.
At this time, Shen Rou was too stupid to think about how Gu Li took down the entire Dark Night Island branch by herself. She desperately wanted Gu Li to suffer, and she desperately wanted to get the information about Gu Li's identity and location. After being released, the result was nothing. Dark Night Island, which had always been domineering, was like a quail at this time. The branch was picked on without saying a word.
How can this be?
At this time, the boy who was responsible for contacting her and the second prince appeared at the door of her room. After saluting, he said respectfully: "Miss Shen, the master has something to do with you. Please come to Qingming Tower to meet you."
Shen Rou was so happy that she could hardly hide the excitement on her face.
Sure enough, after she told the second prince about Gu Li's information, she would definitely attract the second prince's attention. She knew about the cooperative relationship between An Ye Island and the second prince. It seemed that An Ye Island wanted the second prince to do it for him?
Shen Rou hurriedly got into the carriage and headed to Qingming Tower. She couldn't help but feel proud in her eyes. She didn't even see a trace of pity in the servant's eyes.
The carriage was walking on the streets of Qianjing. Shen Rou was in a good mood and raised the curtains to look at the scenery outside the carriage. Unfortunately, she happened to see Gu Lizheng and Yun Yi wandering on the street.
Shen Rou's eyes fell on Yun Yi's face, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, Yun Yi, you will be mine sooner or later. Now that you haven't seen Gu Li's true face clearly, I will temporarily forgive you!
Gu Li, let’s see if you can escape this time.
Yun Yi lazily followed Gu Li, his black eyes like cold stars were calm and sharp, and suddenly raised his head to look in the direction of Shen Rou. Shen Rou lowered the car curtain in a panic, blocking Yun Yi's probing gaze.
Shen Rou thought she would be fine if she avoided it, but she didn't know that Yun Yi had already seen the General's Mansion mark on the carriage. Recalling that the General's wife did not go out often, General Shen always traveled on horseback, and the only one in the Mansion who was qualified to use this car was The carriage is, of course, Shen Rou.
As for what Shen Rou was going to do, besides racking her brains to harm Gu Li, he really couldn't think of what else Shen Rou could do.
Qingming Tower is located in a secluded place on the outskirts of Qianjing. The location is remote, but the scenery is excellent. Many dignitaries come here to gather. The second prince stood on the upper floor, watching Shen Rou's carriage slowly approaching from a distance. His face became increasingly gloomy, and there was a hint of gloom on his usually smiling face.
When the second prince chose Shen Rou as his chess piece, it was because of her relationship with the sons of the Gu family. If Shen Rou could be used to instigate Gu Lun to rebel and make Gu Lun his chess piece beside the prince, it would be even more important. alright.
It's just that the second prince thought very well, but he didn't expect that Shen Rou was a fool and actually used people from Dark Night Island in his name. Early this morning, he got the news that the Dark Night Island branch was destroyed. Shen Rou told him that it was Of course he didn't believe what Gu Li did alone.
Of course he knew how capable General Shen's daughter-in-law was. He had dealt with General Shen before and knew Gu Li's abilities. It was impossible for her to do it alone. However, the branch of Dark Night Island had indeed disappeared. , the strange thing is that the headquarters of Dark Night Island has not come here to investigate the matter, but has become quiet.
This kind of quietness made the second prince a little uneasy, because he had sacrificed a lot to join forces with Dark Night Island, and the alliance with Dark Night Island had all the branches of Dark Night Island Qian Jing, but in the end, Qian Jing had not yet used the power of Dark Night Island. The two masters of Qian and Kun of the branch are already dead.
The power of Dark Night Island that he worked so hard to build was completely destroyed by Shen Rou. He really shouldn't have given Shen Rou the cards and methods to contact Dark Night Island.
And when Shen Rou came to Qingming Tower and entered the private room dedicated to the second prince, what was waiting for her was not the second prince's reward or the news about dealing with Gu Li, but the second prince's reprimand.
"I don't care if you come to me because you really want to serve me or to deal with Gu Li, but I hope you understand your identity. A chess piece should have the consciousness of a chess piece. If you make unreasonable decisions next time, Shen Rou, you will be implicated. , will be the entire General’s Mansion.”
Shen Rou had never seen the second prince Huangfuyu, who had always been gentle to his subordinates, speak so harshly, and she felt a little stupid at the moment. How could this happen?
She didn't expect that her impeachment of Gu Li on a whim would involve such a big thing, and she didn't expect that Gu Li would kill the entire Dark Night Island branch to death, and the second prince knew about it. The first thing is to reprimand yourself?
After all, Shen Rou was not a real counselor. How could she bear this? Her eyes turned red and she quickly knelt down: "Your Highness, I, I didn't..."
Huangfuyu looked at Shen Rou who was kneeling on the ground. She was trembling slightly like a butterfly knocked down by the cold rain, but there was no trace of emotion on her face. He had lived in the palace since he was a child and was almost immune to these tricks of women. .
He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, squatted down slightly, stretched out his hand, raised Shen Rou's chin, and said earnestly: "Shen Rou, it will be the birthday of the emperor's sister in one month. She and Gu Li have always been good friends. When Gu Li Li will definitely go, and if you want to get Yun Yi, this is your only chance."
"When the Saint of the Yun Clan came here, I concealed your love for Prince Yun Yi. Otherwise, I'm afraid your fate wouldn't be much better than that of Gu Li. If you don't do it right again, I don't mind. Just like I sent Qiuhe to Dark Night Island, I will give you to Her Royal Highness the Saint."
Hearing the words of the Holy Lady of the Yun Clan, Shen Rou could no longer suppress the trembling of her body. She leaned down deeply and put her face almost on the ground: "I know my mistake."
The second prince's face softened slightly, and he stretched out his hand to gently caress Shen Rou's head. His words were cold to the bone: "Sometimes you have to let go. As a chess piece, don't place too much importance on innocence. If you have the ability to harbor suspicion, I will help you give birth to the child of the crown prince of the Shangyun clan. When the time comes, the mother will be more valuable than the child, so your status can be imagined."
Shen Rou was startled and trembled, but she still whispered: "I understand."
The second prince then showed a satisfied look on his face and turned to leave.
Shen Rou lay on the ground for a long time, and then she slowly stood up when she heard footsteps coming out of Qingming Tower. Her body was still trembling uncontrollably. Qiu He was the person Huangfuyu exchanged with Anye Island. The one... was... The luthier who dug out his eyes and chopped off his hands.
Gu Li came back to her senses and looked at Yun Yi strangely: "What were you looking at just now? Hey, where is Yue Qi?" Gu Li felt Yue Qi's aura just now, but now that aura has disappeared.
Yun Yi reached out and rubbed her head and said with a smile: "So you care about me so much and are always observing my movements."
Gu Li took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, calmed down her mood, and said while pressing the beating veins on her forehead: "You said I could find Yingning if I came out with you, but you took me shopping with you. I visited the jewelry shop, the weapons shop, the silk and satin shop, the snack street, went to the teahouse to drink tea, and had a good meal at Tianxiangju. Now, the sun is setting in the west, but where is my Yingning? , where is the maid as big as me?"
Yun Yi watched Gu Li picking up her fingers to settle accounts with him. Under the sun, her shiny fingers were small and delicate. The girl was looking for him to settle accounts seriously. He felt so cute for no reason. He was in a particularly good mood at this time: "Princess Pearl, what's next?" Don’t you want to prepare a gift for your birthday?”
Gu Li was startled for a moment, and then she remembered that she had a very close relationship with Princess Mingzhu. It was wrong for her not to prepare a gift for her birthday. But Yunyi took him to find Yingning and suddenly mentioned Mingzhu's birthday. Could it be that, Is Yingning related to Mingzhu?
Yun Yi looked at Gu Li's expression and knew that she had guessed something. He couldn't help but reached out and tapped her slightly stunned little head. He couldn't help but want to tease her: "Now you are not the young lady of the General's Mansion, no. Do you know if Princess Pearl will invite you again? If she doesn’t invite you, you have to go in my name. In what name? Or fiancée? "
Gu Li, who was in a daze, shuddered and suddenly woke up. She seemed to have remembered her original intention of staying away from Yun Yi. She looked at the handsome face that was getting closer and closer, and pushed the face away without confidence. Face: "Just talk, why are you so close?"
"Also, who is your fiancée?" Gu Li's pretty face turned red, but immediately turned pale. The poison of this imperial daughter's flower was really a stubborn disease, and the heart-wrenching feeling always reminded her not to be emotional.
Her imperceptible and subtle expressions were also caught in Yun Yi's eyes. Yun Yi had a calm expression on his face, lowered his head slightly to hide the turbulent undercurrent in his eyes, and said with a smile: "You really don't need my help?"
"Of course." Gu Li replied simply, "I've been bothering you lately. I'm afraid I owe you too much and I won't be able to pay it back."
Yun Yi smiled but did not answer, still walking towards him with a smile on his face.
Gu Li looked up at the sky and glanced at Yun Yi with the corner of his eye, but found nothing unusual about him.
For some reason, Gu Li felt that this guy seemed a little unhappy.
Shen Rou sat in the carriage a little irritably. The second prince's words were still in her ears, but she didn't know what to do for a moment. Yun Yi's kung fu was good, how should she deal with Yun Yi...
Yun Yi would definitely not be willing to do so when he was awake, but if he was drugged, there would definitely be expert guards around him, but it was unlikely. As the prince of the Yun clan, what were the shortcomings of Yun Yi?
Shen Rou frowned and thought carefully for a long time before slowly smiling.
Weakness? Of course it was Gu Li.
