Gu Qijue actually arrived at Bailu Mountain ahead of time?

A Bao instantly thought of that person, Shan Niang, who had taken refuge with the Pei family.

Since you are planning to assassinate someone, when do you plan to do it?

The vigilant A Bao quietly clenched the golden needle in her sleeve, but Gu Qijue approached with a sword in his hand, forcing her to retreat to the corner of the corridor.

The right hand that was ready to counterattack was grabbed by him.

She raised her eyes coldly, and he leaned forward again.

His black eyes were like thin blades, sweeping meaningfully over the golden needles between her fingers.

"Princess, are you misunderstanding me and trying to do something wrong?"

The voice in the autumn wind is low and cold.

The features of the man who was the commander of the Western Prison suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes.

Solemn, cold, and...

Something seemed to have changed about him.

Thinking of this, Abao suddenly pursed his lips and sneered.

"Master Gu's courage is getting stronger and stronger."

As soon as she finished speaking, the golden needle between her fingers accurately pierced the painful point on Gu Qijue's left wrist.

The cold moonlight falling from the eaves enveloped the black-clad Grim Reaper.

In the dead silence, the four looked at each other for a long while.

Gu Qijue ignored the severe pain in his wrist, and instead smiled and held A Bao's wrist tighter, carefully confirming something.

"You really took off the Xiao family's ancestral jade bracelet." Gu Qijue lowered his eyes and hesitated. It seemed that Her Royal Highness the Princess had other plans for the position of King Xiao.

A Bao avoided the obvious question and just sneered, "Master Gu likes that jade bracelet? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll introduce you to Xiao Yunzheng."

It's just right, they are in cahoots, a match made in heaven.

But when Gu Qijue heard this, his smile deepened.

Too close, Po stared at his sharp trembling eyelashes.

What is he doing? Is he crazy?!

As soon as he finished his complaints, there was a clanging sound and the red maple leaves suddenly fell.

A ray of silver light stabbed towards him fiercely.

Gu Qijue, whose smile suddenly disappeared, turned around, but the attacker did not give him a chance to draw his sword. He suppressed him with a sword and in an instant placed the silver sword across Gu Qijue's neck.

A Bao called out happily, "Uncle!"

Blood was oozing from his neck and a murderous undercurrent was surging. Gu Qijue was forced by the black-robed king standing behind him to let go of A Bao's right wrist.

The moment the black-robed king put away his sword, she raised her hand and slapped him.

Under the moonlit eaves, the sound was extremely crisp.

Gu Qijue raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips, and smiled instead of getting angry: "Does your hand hurt, Princess? Next time you are angry, just give me an order."

"I will do such a small thing as a slap in the face for Your Highness."

There was only one thing left on Po's mind.

If Gu Qijue really goes crazy, will it delay her plans?

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Fengran looked past his Abao and stared straight into Gu Qijue's sinister eyes.

When Gu Qijue saw Xuanyuan Fengran standing behind A Bao, he suddenly felt pity for the princess. Since the old emperor had already decided to kill Xuanyuan Fengran and Yan Haixi, he would definitely not send him alone.

Perhaps, the second and third execution orders are on the way.

Under the eaves, the autumn wind rustled the fallen leaves.

Gu Qijue, with complicated thoughts, suddenly saw Xuanyuan Fengran raised his hand to straighten the red maple hairpin in the princess' hair.

"Even the maple hairpin I gave you was blown to pieces. There is a really strong wind tonight."

Maple hairpin? A Bao was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

This maple hairpin really deserves Gu Qijue's attention.

A Bao put the golden needle into his sleeve and passed by, wanting to leave with his black-robed uncle.

But behind him, Gu Qijue asked coldly.

"Your Highness, do you know that Princess Xiao is in the study at this moment?"

Pausing, A Bao turned around in surprise, "Only Princess Xiao?"

Gu Qijue, who knew he was indebted, was silent for a moment, "How is it possible? It's only Princess Xiao."

Hearing this, A Bao actually felt that what was supposed to come would still come.

But she wanted to hear how Princess Xiao planned to trick her grandfather into helping her.

He turned around and was about to run to the study, but met Yan Haixi who came following the sound.

Xuanyuan Fengran said in a deep voice: "Protect her."

A Bao turned around and said, "Uncle, aren't you coming with me?"

"I have something else to do." Xuanyuan Fengran promised gently: "I will pick you up."

Hearing this, A Bao frowned and glanced at Gu Qijue.

Thinking about fighting alone, my uncle Feng Ran will definitely win.

Only then did she feel relieved and hurried to the study.

But when she was still some distance away from the study, Yan Haixi pulled her behind a red maple tree. She looked in the direction of his finger and saw the guards of the Xiao Mansion blocking the door.

"Still want to eavesdrop, little princess?"

"Not eavesdropping."

A Bao said confidently: "It was to spy on the enemy."

"Oh~" Yan Haixi raised the corners of his lips, picked up A Bao, used light skills to bypass the guards of the Xiao Mansion, and lay steadily on the roof of the study.

"Father! Please save Jing'er!!"

Princess Xiao cried bitterly: "Jing'er is innocent, her reputation should not be ruined! The child in Jing'er's belly is even more innocent, how can it be forced to turn into a ball of blurred flesh and blood?"

Old Wen sat on the tea couch, feeling quite strange.

"Why not find the child's father? If he is willing to take on the responsibilities of a husband and a father..." Elder Wen was silent for a moment: "Just like Xiao Shen back then, he took on the responsibility of marrying you and giving you and Yun Zheng, you and your son, a legitimate status."

Upon hearing about the past, Princess Xiao's face, which was filled with tears, froze: "Father, are you blaming me for ruining Sister Yan's marriage?"

Elder Wen shook his head: "That marriage is over, there is no need to mention it again."

"It's just that Jingyue is not in a dead end."

"Abort the baby and wait until this matter is settled before making other plans. Or, I heard that Wu Su really likes Jing Yue and has come to propose marriage."

Princess Xiao flatly rejected the idea: "A baron is worthy of marrying Jing'er?"

Hearing this, Elder Wen was disappointed. "If this is the case, how can I save Jingyue?"

"It can be saved." Princess Xiao said hopefully, "As long as father lets Jing'er live in the bamboo building in the back mountain for half a year, and the child is born safely, I will naturally come to take Jing'er back home. Father, the child in Jing'er's belly is extremely precious."
