The villain who dressed as a woman

Chapter 168 I'm Going to See Your Majesty
The information obtained from the prime minister was very different from what Lu Xiaoyao said.

The prime minister did not recognize that Lu Xiaoyao was the child he brought back to the Southern Dynasty, and he was indeed entrusted by his benefactor.

As for Lu Xiaoyao's identity, the prime minister didn't know either.

Seeing that there was nothing else to ask, Gu Mu patted him on the shoulder before leaving: "Don't worry, I punish Ling'er for confinement, not because Linger has done anything wrong, but because I have unavoidable difficulties."

Seeing that the prime minister breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Mu raised his sleeves and walked out.

Gu Mu had just left the Prime Minister's Mansion,
Someone followed immediately behind.

Gu Mu drove back to the palace, and that person easily followed the palace at a special time when the security was heavily guarded, without being noticed by others.

In the man's hand, he held a short knife.

From a distance, he put the knife in front of his eyes. From this line of sight, the short knife just stopped at the position of Gu Mu's neck. The man made a movement of wiping his neck, and then showed a slight smile.

He moved freely in the palace without anyone noticing, and none of the guards patrolling along the road noticed his existence.

Gu Mu walked into the study as usual, seemingly unaware of being followed.

There was a thick pile of memorials on his desk, and soon, it was late at night.

Candles were also lit on the desk, but even so, the light was still very dim.

When Gu Mu was reviewing the memorial, he didn't like being disturbed, so at this moment, Gu Mu was the only one in the study.

After watching and watching, Gu Mu finally couldn't hold it anymore, propped his head on his hands, gradually closed his eyes, and dozed off.

At this time, a black shadow moved outside the door.

He was the one who had been following Gu Mu since Gu Mu left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He jumped in through the open window.

No one would have imagined that this person could move so freely in the heavily guarded imperial palace, especially the imperial study where the emperor lived.

No one noticed that there was an extra person in the emperor's study at the moment.

He quietly walked behind Gu Mu, and pressed the tip of the dagger against Gu Mu's neck.

At this moment, Gu Mu finally woke up. He grabbed the man's hand holding the knife with his backhand, and the two of them wrestled together.

The desk in the imperial study room fell to the ground due to the fight, and the candle flame also fell to the ground and went out instantly.

In an instant, the whole room went dark.

Because he was not used to the darkness, Gu Mu could only distinguish his position by listening to the sound.

But in the darkness, that person's actions were not affected in the slightest.

Fighting and fighting, the man gradually gained the upper hand and stabbed Gu Mu's abdomen with a knife.

In an instant, warm blood gushed out of Gu Mu's body, and then the man took a short knife and slashed at Gu Mu's neck.

It was originally a fatal blow, because Gu Mu's body was strengthened, and he reacted in time, leaning his neck back.

So although the wound looks terrible, if it is bandaged in time, it can still save life.

At the same time, Gu Mu used his sword to draw a few times on the man's thigh and arm.

In the imperial study room, the floor was messy, with a lot of blood,

There was also a pungent smell of blood in the air.

After glueing for a while, Gu Mu's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and gradually began to overpower that person.

That person seemed to have no chance to find another chance, and caused serious injuries to Gu Mu, and he himself suffered a lot of injuries. If he continued to fight, his life might stay here as well.

He took a few steps back when he saw the opportunity, and flew out of the window of the imperial study.

However, Gu Mu needed to be bandaged in time because of the injury on his neck, so instead of catching up, he walked out of the study clutching his neck.

Blood seeped out from the seam of his hands covering his neck, which looked particularly terrifying.

Due to excessive blood loss, his face was pale, and he was not as vigorous as usual.

And the maids and guards outside the imperial study room seemed to have been drugged.They fell to the ground one by one, but their breathing was quite steady.

After walking a long way, Gu Mu finally saw a standing guard.

At this time, the blood dripping from Gu Mu's body also dripped all the way because of his walking. It looked like a terrifying line of blood.

"Come here, send me to the Imperial Hospital." After saying this, Gu Mu passed out due to exhaustion.

Seeing Gu Mu like this, the guard froze for a moment.

In his impression, Gu Mu has always been that god who blocks and kills gods, and Buddhas block and kills Buddha. He has never seen anyone who can put His Majesty in such a mess.

In the past, even if His Majesty was facing thousands of troops, he could talk and laugh happily and cut the enemy under the sword.

To make His Majesty into such a person must be very strong!
Although the guard was stunned for a moment, he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately rushed to the Tai Hospital with Gu Mu on his shoulder.

That night, news of His Majesty's assassination spread throughout the palace.

Inside Kunning Palace,

Although Shen Ling was locked up, her maid was not. Whether her maid was going to the House of Internal Affairs to get some supplies or do some chores, she would naturally go in and out of Kunning Palace frequently.

The news of Gu Mu's assassination did not escape the ears of the maids of Kunning Palace.

Therefore, Yoyo, who was on night watch outside Shen Ling's room, changed her expression instantly when she heard the news.

She faced the door with a tangled expression, during this time.Although His Majesty put the empress in confinement.

But they are not fools, they can see the relationship between His Majesty and Empress.

At this time, although the empress had already fallen asleep, she must have wanted to know about His Majesty earlier. Thinking of this, Yoyo knocked on the door of Shen Ling's room.

"Yoyo, how do you pull it?" Shen Ling's soft voice came from the room.

"Your Majesty, it's about His Majesty." Yoyo said in a muffled voice.

Soon, the door was swung open.

Shen Ling, who only put on a coat casually, with her black hair loose, had an ethereal beauty under the hazy moonlight.

There was a trace of anxiety hidden in her cold and distant eyes.

Sure enough, only something about His Majesty could change her expression a bit.

"It's so late, what's wrong with Your Majesty?" At this moment, Shen Ling had a bad premonition in his heart.

The worry in her eyes was very real.

"Your Majesty was assassinated, and he is currently in the Imperial Hospital." Youyou sweated for the empress, and then said with difficulty.

Shen Ling unconsciously put his hand on the door frame, his pupils trembled slightly.

After a pause, Shen Ling then asked, "Is your majesty all right?"

"Slave servant. Slave servant heard that the news from the Imperial Hospital is that His Majesty's life is hanging by a thread."

Speaking of this, Yoyo's eyes suddenly turned red.

She felt sorry for the empress, but also because His Majesty was the backbone of the entire Southern Dynasty. If His Majesty was gone, what would the people of the Southern Dynasty do?

Shen Ling glanced at Youyou with a pale expression: "Don't cry, I'll go and see Your Majesty."

For some reason, although Shen Ling had no other expressions on her face, her eyes were sparkling, with tears rolling in their sockets.
