"Gu Chengxuan, what are you going to do?"
Hearing Yanhuai's voice, Yu Jinxi thought for a moment, and then said, "When this matter is over, we will send him to where he should go."
Thinking of what Gu Qiheng and Liu Ruyan did to her in her previous life, Yu Jinxi felt a surge of rage in her heart. She was not a kind person in the first place. She was just blinded and imprisoned in feudal etiquette.
Now that she has been reborn, she will never be lenient.
Whether it was Liu Ruyan or Gu Chengxuan, she had promised to keep them alive, but she had not said that she would keep them alive.
She said that it would make them unable to live and die.
"Master Qi sued Gu Qiheng, and the previous matter of buying and selling officials was also brought out. No one can protect Gu Qiheng this time."
Yanhuai spoke again and said with an indifferent expression, "In less than three days, the imperial edict to deal with him will be issued."
Yu Jinxi asked, "How about those witnesses?"
"The second prince used some tricks, but with Lord Qi watching, he didn't dare to make a fatal move."
Yanhuai's tone was indifferent. He had already said that everything in the court had been arranged. If the second prince wanted to do something, he would only fall into his trap.
Yu Jinxi was also waiting, waiting for the emperor to deal with Gu Qiheng.
She even waited for the emperor to slap himself in the face and personally issue an order for her to reconcile.
After dinner, Yanhuai sat in Yu Jinxi's room for a while, then got up and left. Before leaving, he solemnly asked, "Sleep well, I will take care of other things. Uncle is going to Beijing soon, so he needs to work hard." If it’s broken, my uncle will feel bad if he sees it!”
Yu Jinxi nodded heavily, indicating that he understood.
Although she said that, Yu Jinxi wanted to say that she had slept all day during the day, how could she sleep now?
She wanted to sleep, but her body couldn't help herself.
But since she agreed to Yanhuai, she couldn't break her promise, so she simply let Qingti rest and blew out the lamp and lay down on the bed.
In the dark night, her eyes were as wide as copper bells. She counted one sheep after another, and she couldn't fall asleep until she counted a hundred sheep.
Yu Jinxi got up resignedly. She just couldn't sleep because she really didn't want to force herself.
She groped her way out of bed and was about to light a lamp when she suddenly smelled a strange smell.
Yu Jinxi sniffed it and suddenly found that the smell was very special, not like the smell from anything in her house.
Then, there was a thud, like something shot into the door frame.
Then, a flash of light ignited instantly, and the fire started immediately.
Yu Jinxi's expression changed drastically and he ran out quickly.
As soon as the door opened, a gleaming knife stabbed in.
Yu Jinxi relied on instinct to avoid it, but accidentally tripped over a stool and fell on his back.
Only this time, she didn't get hit on the head, but her knees hurt. She didn't dare to cry out the pain, so she got up and hid.
At this time, the man with the sword also rushed in and slashed at Yu Jinxi.
Yu Jinxi was forced into a corner. She had no way to hide, and the knife was stabbing towards her.
However, the sword suddenly stopped when it was less than a stone's throw away from him.
There was a muffled "bang" sound, and the man holding a long sword fell to the ground from her side.
Yu Jinxi's heart skipped a beat, and he lost all strength in an instant. He squatted on the ground and couldn't stand up for a long time.
Qingti was originally staying in the kitchen and rushed here when she heard the noise. Unexpectedly, when she arrived, someone had already broken into the house.
Mother Zhang and Grandma Qian who followed immediately put out the fire. After a while, the fire was extinguished and all the candles in the room were lit. The lights were bright and there were no blind spots.
"Miss, are you okay?" Qingti saw Yu Jinxi squatting in the corner and walked over immediately.
Yu Jinxi shook her head and said she was fine, but her pale and colorless face betrayed her.
Qingti felt very distressed and blamed herself more and more.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left. I should have stayed with the lady."
Qingti's eyes turned red and she said guiltily.
"Don't cry, it has nothing to do with you."
Yu Jinxi comforted softly and raised his hand to let Qingti help him up.
At this time, the dead man who fell next to her had been dragged outside, but the room was covered in blood, and the smell of blood filled the tip of his nose, making people sick and want to vomit.
Yu Jinxi suppressed the nauseating feeling and looked out the door.
She didn't know the man who killed the man in black. She felt blessed and said softly, "I can't repay you for saving my life. If you need help in the future, please just ask and I will do my best."
Hearing this, the man immediately said, "Miss Yu, you don't have to be so polite. The county king sent me to protect Miss Yu's safety. I failed to stop the assassin in time and disturbed the young lady. Please forgive me!"
Although he said this, Yu Jinxi didn't care.
She asked, "Where is Master Yan?"
The man said, "Someone was shooting an arrow just now, and Master Yan went to chase him. I noticed something was wrong and didn't follow him. It was indeed a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Qingti was frightened when she heard this. It all happened so fast that people were defenseless.
If this person also chases the assassin who shoots the arrow, the young lady's life or death will really be uncertain at this time.
The man asked again, "Miss, what should I do with this assassin?"
Yu Jinxi glanced at it lightly, endured the disgusting smell of blood, and said in a deep voice, "Leave it alone, I will be useful after dawn!"
After a while, Master Yan came back, but he didn't catch the assassin.
Seeing the situation in the room, Master Yan instantly understood that he had been tricked.
He apologized to Yu Jinxi, but Yu Jinxi did not blame him, but reminded him to take a lesson.
Master Yan felt extremely guilty and secretly swore in his heart that he would never be so reckless again.
Before dawn, Yanhuai, who had left, came back. At this time, the blood stains in the house had been cleaned up. If there hadn't been a corpse in the yard, there were still traces of burning outside the house, as if nothing had happened. .
As soon as Yanhuai arrived, he grabbed Yu Jinxi and looked him up and down, and asked nervously, "Is there any injury?"
Yu Jinxi didn't hide it from him, "I fell and hit my leg."
Yanhuai immediately picked him up and put him on the bed.
Seeing that he was trying to take off her clothes again, Yu Jinxi quickly said, "Qingti has already given me medicine, it's just a skin injury, it's not a big deal..."
"What a big deal if it's not a big deal?"
Yanhuai couldn't help but rolled up her trouser legs, and what he saw was a large purple and green mark.
Not only were the knees bruised, but a piece of skin was also bruised, and there were bruises above the knees.
"Is this what you said it's okay?"
Yanhuai's eyes turned red, veins popped out at her temples, and the hand that held the corner of her clothes was very hard.
Upon seeing this, Yu Jinxi immediately held his hand and said softly, "If you hadn't arranged for someone, I might have died tonight. This injury is nothing."
In Yu Jinxi's perception, a bump was nothing compared to losing his life.
But Yanhuai didn't think so, his scarlet eyes filled with murderous intent.
