She couldn't let the Seventh Prince see her like this, otherwise, the Seventh Prince would definitely be worried about her.
Gu Yao wiped the cold water off her face, turned and walked towards the bedroom.
The little maid looked at her back, a little confused.
What happened to this young lady today?
Why do you look so distracted?
The little maid thought, quickly threw the basin at the door, and went back to the house to rest.
Gu Yao entered the room and saw there were pastries on the table. She took one piece and stuffed it into her mouth. Then she put the other piece on the plate and brought it to the bed.
She picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote a line on the paper.
"Brother Qi, I'm sorry. I know I have wronged you during this time, but please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye! I don't want to hurt you. I know you have done a lot for me, but this is not what you should bear. You have to know , you are the emperor and the most noble person in the world. You should not abandon your identity and wealth for a humble woman like me. I am not worthy of your sacrifice for me!"
"I know that my status is low and I am not worthy of you, but please give us a way to survive."
"I don't want to put you in danger anymore!"
"After this incident, I will disappear forever. I will never come to the capital again, and I will never contact you again. Please forget me, forget me!"
After Gu Yao finished writing, she tore it into pieces with all her strength.
She picked up a piece of paper and threw it out the window.
The piece of paper fell into the dark night sky and turned into a pile of ashes, gradually disappearing.
She didn't want to implicate him!
It was the only thing she could do for him.
Gu Yao swept away all the pastries on the table, pushed the tables and chairs into the courtyard, and then left the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
...
It gets dark earlier and earlier, and the sky is filled with stars.
The streets are deserted.
There are also many fewer vendors setting up stalls on the streets.
Gu Yao walked through the bustling streets and looked up at the sky.
She felt a little irritable.
She knew what she meant, but she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to others because of herself.
That's why she chose to leave.
During this period of time, she had been living with guilt and guilt. Whenever she wanted to muster up courage, the figure of the Seventh Prince appeared in her mind, and she became hesitant and worried about gains and losses.
Well now, it's all over.
She was finally free!
Gu Yao breathed a long sigh of relief.
Suddenly, there was a noise from the front, which seemed to be a fight.
Gu Yao frowned and walked towards the source of the noise.
I saw more and more people watching in front, with angry and unwilling expressions on their faces.
"Who are you? How dare you use force here in public!"
“Don’t think that just because you have money, you can do whatever you want!”
"..."
The people were very excited. Everyone was blaming each other and reprimanding each other.
Gu Yao frowned when she saw this scene.
Who are these people, and why are they so arrogant and domineering?
"Everyone, be quiet."
A majestic voice sounded.
When everyone heard the sound, they all fell silent and looked at the person.
A burly middle-aged man, wearing a purple official uniform, with a solemn face.
Everyone saluted the middle-aged man and said hello.
"You are all ordinary people, and I know that you feel sorry for the children and old at home and cannot bear to let them suffer. However, this matter is of great importance. If it is not handled well, it will lead to tragedy!" The middle-aged man looked at everyone.
Everyone was startled and exchanged glances.
"My lord, are you saying..." a middle-aged woman asked tremblingly.
"That's right! You are all ordinary people, and you should not be deceived by those people into doing things that harm the interests of the people!"
The middle-aged man said with a stern look.
"Sir, what do you mean by this?"
"We don't understand!"
"..."
Everyone shook their heads, saying they didn't know.
"I was ordered to come here to investigate this matter today. Do you know who sent someone to do this?" the middle-aged man said with a solemn expression.
Everyone shook their heads.
The middle-aged man looked at the blank eyes of these people and sighed immediately.
I'm afraid these people really don't know the truth!
"This matter is very involved, and it is not something that ordinary people like us can know. Sir, you should investigate this matter as soon as possible and give us people justice!"
"That's right! We don't want to be bullied by them. If this continues, how can the people live?"
"..."
Everyone agreed.
"Okay, since you all trust me so much, I will handle this case impartially and give everyone justice!" The middle-aged man decided.
Gu Yao stood not far away and heard their words clearly.
It seems that there is indeed a conspiracy hidden in it!
No matter who it is, as long as they dare to hurt the relatives and friends she cares about, she will definitely take revenge!
However, this matter needs to be considered in the long term.
After the middle-aged man calmed everyone down, he looked at Gu Yao.
"Girl, I would like to ask, does the girl know this person?"
He took out a portrait and handed it to Gu Yao.
Gu Yao glanced at the person in the portrait and shook her head.
"do not know."
"Girl, this matter is of great importance. If you are interested, you can stay in the capital." The middle-aged man looked at her sincerely.
"My lord, this matter has passed. I don't want to mention it again. I hope your lord can help to investigate the matter clearly and give us justice."
Gu Yao shook her head.
"Girl, if you stay, you can find the real murderer!" The middle-aged man looked at Gu Yao solemnly.
"I won't stay. I appreciate your kindness."
"Girl, this is your portrait. If you have any questions or clues, you can go to the Yamen to see me at any time!" The middle-aged man took out a name card from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Yao.
"Thank you, sir!"
Gu Yao accepted the name sticker and cupped her fists at the middle-aged man to thank him.
"Girl, you're welcome, take your leave!" The middle-aged man thanked her with his hands, turned around and walked a few steps before stopping again.
"Don't you know the girl's name?"
Hearing this, Gu Yao raised her eyes to look at him and chuckled: "I'm Gu Yao."
"Miss Gu, this is my name. If you need anything, you can go to the Yamen and see me. My name is Liu Ming, and I am the local magistrate. You can also call me Mr. Liu."
Liu Ming handed Gu Yao a jade pendant and left.
Gu Yao looked at the jade pendant in her hand, her mouth slightly raised, her eyes deep.
It seems that this matter needs to be discussed in the long run!
...
Gu Yao returned to the inn and briefly explained her affairs to Gu Waner.
"Sister, I always feel that there is something fishy about this matter!"
"Stop thinking about it. It's all over. Don't worry about it anymore. Just take a rest first and I'll make dinner!"
Gu Waner warned Gu Yao.
"Sister, you are working too hard. You should leave this kind of menial work to others!" Gu Yao said with a distressed look on her face.
"Silly girl, my sister can do this rough work alone!" Gu Waner smiled slightly.
"Sister, don't be brave. I know you can't do this alone. I have already written to my parents and asked them to come back quickly." Gu Yao held Gu Waner's hand and said softly.
"No need, parents still have a lot of things to do, so just let them spend more time with you!" Gu Waner shook her head.
"Sister, just let me take care of you!" Gu Yao said coquettishly.
"You! Okay, then you will take care of my sister!" Gu Waner rubbed Gu Yao's hair lovingly.
Gu Yao grinned, her smile as bright as a flower.
"You are just a lazy little pig. I'll get you something to eat." Gu Waner said helplessly.
"Okay!" Gu Yao nodded obediently.
"Sister, just wait, I'll be back soon!"
"Yes." Gu Waner responded with a slight smile.
Gu Yao left the room and came to the kitchen, preparing to cook for Gu Waner.
This time, she learned wisely and instead of cooking, she made some porridge, steamed buns, steamed buns, and eggs.
Although she didn't know what food Gu Waner liked, she still cooked it according to her preferences.
After finishing all this, it was already noon.
Gu Yao stretched out and was about to take a rest when she heard a knock on the door from outside.
Gu Yao was puzzled, who could it be at this time?
Could it be Gu Waner?
"Come in."
"Dong dong dong~"
The door was pushed open, and a beautiful figure slowly walked in.
Gu Yao was stunned when she saw who was coming.
The person who came was a beautiful girl, dressed in pink clothes, with her black hair tied up into a high ponytail.
Exquisite facial features, a pair of smart eyes like autumn water, a straight nose, cherry-like red lips lightly parted, revealing teeth as white as jade.
Gu Yao was stunned for a moment, and a word flashed in her mind: Immortal.
This girl can definitely be called a fairy!
she is......
Seeing Gu Yao's stunned look, the girl smiled slightly and slowly came to the table and sat down.
"You, you are?"
Gu Yao came back to her senses and looked at her in confusion.
"I'm Gu Waner, you can call me Waner." The girl smiled.
"Gu Waner? Miss Waner?" Gu Yao frowned, confused.
"Who are you?" Seeing Gu Yao's confused look, the girl asked curiously.
"Oh, I am the eldest daughter of the Gu family, my name is Gu Yao."
"So that's it, you are the eldest lady of the Gu family!"
Gu Waner nodded, then looked at Gu Yao and asked: "Miss Gu, I wonder what you want from me?"
"Miss Wan'er, I have something to ask you for help." Gu Yao said.
"oh?"
Gu Waner raised her eyebrows, looking like she was listening attentively.
"It's like this. I heard that a few days ago, there were two gangs of gangsters who made trouble in the county government office. Is that true?" Gu Yao asked.
"Yes, that's exactly it." Gu Waner said with a chuckle: "I had already sent people to investigate this matter when I knew about it, but there has been no result."
"Miss Wan'er, how did you find these wild places?" Gu Yao asked curiously.
"It's a long story. Let's talk while eating." Gu Waner pointed at the food on the table and said with a smile: "You are pregnant now. It will be beneficial to the fetus to eat more meat and take more vitamins."
"um. Thank you."
"You are welcome."
...
The two of them had a very enjoyable lunch.
After the meal, Gu Yao chatted with Gu Waner for a long time before they separated.
After Gu Waner left, Gu Yao immediately wrote a letter to her mother.
The letter talks about Gu Waner's life experience and what happened to her.
"Miss Wan'er, I hope you can return to Beijing as soon as possible, because I'm worried that trouble will come to your door."
"Okay, I will try my best to go back as soon as possible so that you won't worry." Gu Waner replied with a letter.
Gu Yao looked at the letter and smiled slightly.
Miss Wan'er is so kind!
She will definitely return to Beijing as soon as possible!
...
Beijing
Prime Minister's Mansion
Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the Prime Minister's house, a young girl wearing a blue dress was practicing martial arts in the yard.
Her figure is slender, her face is pretty, her eyes are clear and bright, and her skin is like snow, which can be broken by a blow.
