Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

Gu Qingzhi reached out and took the waist badge that she had worn for several years.

Zuo Chengyu thought she had accepted the invitation and smiled with satisfaction. When he was about to say something else, he heard a "crackling" sound in his ears.

The badge shattered and slowly broke into two halves as Gu Qingzhi moved.

Wood chips fell to the ground, and Zuo Chengyu's smile froze on his face. Under the moonlight, that dignified face no longer looked kind.

"what do you mean?"

"The son of the prime minister is just like this. He works like a dog for your greedy father, but he has never been promoted to an official position. Is your life comfortable?"

Gu Qingzhi's voice was light and airy. She had followed this father and son for so many years and knew that the Left Prime Minister did not allow his children to enter the government as officials in order to avoid the emperor's suspicion. Of course, she knew how to say something that would touch his heart.

As expected, Zuo Chengyu couldn't stand hearing this kind of words. His face suddenly darkened and he made a gesture with his hand, as if he was ready to call the people in the dark to come out and deal with her at any time.

"I advise you to be cautious. Before they make a move, you might have already died in my hands."

Gu Qingzhi sneered in her heart and threw the broken badge in her hand aside. Zuo Chengyu was always pretending to be kind, but she wanted to tear off his mask to see.

Zuo Chengyu's expression changed again and again. It's not like he hasn't heard of Lan Zhou's abilities.

After hesitating for a long time, he wisely put his hand back into his sleeve and sighed helplessly: "Oh, forget it, I don't know how I offended you, let's just pretend that what happened today never happened."

Haha, you coward.

Gu Qingzhi started walking away, her figure gradually disappearing into the mist.

She was not naive enough to think that Zuo Chengyu would let her go easily, but she had been wearing a mask and was not worried that Zuo Chengyu would be able to find her by her appearance. Besides, this forest was not far from where she lived when she was young, so she was very familiar with it.

Taking advantage of the misty fog, she quickened her pace and went deeper into the woods, appearing at the gate of Kyoto before Zuo Chengyu's men found her.

Walking into the city, the streets were brightly lit and the sounds of hawking were endless. Gu Qingzhi finally relaxed, took off his mask and let out a long sigh.

Although the crisis was temporarily resolved, it would be difficult to avenge Zuo Xiang and his son. She had to come up with some ideas as soon as possible before they found her.

In the tea shop on the street, the storyteller waved his folding fan and told strange anecdotes in a vivid and emotional way.

"Not long ago, Concubine Hui in the palace killed the newly born Seventh Prince in order to win his favor. Her method was extremely cruel!"

Several guests were cracking melon seeds and listening attentively, and Gu Qingzhi also slowed down her pace.

The storyteller continued, "How old was the seventh prince? Less than a month old! He was killed by such a vicious woman. The emperor was furious and locked Concubine Hui in the cold palace that night."

"The Third Prince Feng Zhanye missed his mother very much. After much deliberation, he decided to go to the palace to plead for his mother. He knelt there for the entire night. It would have been fine if he hadn't pleaded, but when he did, something terrible happened!"

"The Emperor, think about it. Concubine Hui is usually very kind. How could she harm the heir to the throne for no reason?"

The audience looked at each other, then shook their heads, unable to think of an answer.

"The emperor thought more and more that something was not right, so he asked a divination expert to do the divination. The result was that Concubine Hui had been living with the evil spirit of the third prince for many years, and her mind was corroded by the evil spirit, so she did such a foolish thing."

Gu Qingzhi didn't listen any further. She knew more about what happened next than the storyteller. After all, it was because she failed in the assassination attempt on the third prince that she was killed by the Zuo Xiang and his son.

She thought for a while, then quickened her pace and left the teahouse.

If we talk about the mortal enemy of Zuo Xiang and his son, it must be Feng Zhan Ye.

From being an abandoned child born with evil spirits and fostered in the prime minister's mansion to becoming the commander of the imperial guards who commanded the three armies, even the storytellers at the market talked about his stories the most.

In her previous life, when she entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, another person moved into the Prime Minister's Mansion's villa. That person was Feng Zhanye.

Tonight was the night when Feng Zhan Ye was punished by the Emperor to reflect in the Prime Minister's Residence after she pleaded for Concubine Hui. She knew that she could not shake the Left Prime Minister in the slightest with her own strength, so perhaps finding a reliable backer would be a good choice.

A moment later, Gu Qingzhi appeared in the villa.

Although the Prime Minister's Mansion was heavily guarded, there was no one in the annex. There were fallen leaves scattered everywhere, and it seemed that it had not been cleaned for a long time. Compared with the main mansion, it looked dilapidated.

She climbed over the wall, looked at the dim candlelight in the back hall, and her memory went back to the past.

In her previous life, she had heard many rumors about Prince Duan Feng Zhan Ye.

He is a legend in the entire Kyoto, but also a threat to the entire Kyoto. He killed his brothers and sisters, murdered his mother, and murdered important officials. People around him kept dying.

Although it is said that His Royal Highness Prince Duan climbed up step by step by stepping on the flesh and blood of those around him, he is the only one who dares to compete with the Left Prime Minister.

Gu Qingzhi still remembered that when she met the Left Prime Minister Zuo Fuhong in her previous life, Feng Zhanye seemed to be disobedient and set fire to the back hall of the villa. The fire was so big that it almost burned to the main house and caused a commotion.

Instead of blaming him, Zuo Fuhong renovated the villa for him, winning praise from the people of Kyoto.

Although the third prince was not a good person either, Gu Qingzhi now only had hatred in her heart. This was the only shortcut for her to get revenge.

For the sake of the people around her and herself, she must find ways to get close to him and surrender to him.

Clouds covered half the moon, and a cool breeze blew up for no reason.

Gu Qingzhi was lost in thought when she heard a slight noise from the door leading to the main residence from the villa, and a gap inexplicably opened.

She could clearly observe the entire courtyard from the rooftop where she was. In addition, her hearing was excellent and she could hear the breathing of people within ten steps. Any movement would be visible to her.

I saw two black shadows flash by and disappear into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Gu Qingzhi was very familiar with this skill.

It's an assassin.

Judging from the direction, it was coming from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Why didn’t she remember this part in her previous life?

She quietly slipped down from the roof and followed the two men to the back hall. The figure reflected on the window raised a knife and was about to chop. Gu Qingzhi didn't have time to think, she pulled out the Lanzhou from her waist and threw it out.

The dagger was extremely sharp and it pierced through the window paper in an instant and stabbed into the man's neck. Blood splattered all over the window and the figure fell to the ground, covering his neck.

When Gu Qingzhi walked into the room, the other person obviously realized that something was wrong and immediately pounced on her.

Seeing that the long knife was about to chop her, Gu Qingzhi dodged lightly by turning sideways, grabbed the man's arm and kicked him in the lower back.

The kick was so powerful that the man rushed forward and hit his head on the table, smashing the already shabby table into pieces.

The man in black staggered to his feet, holding his bleeding head. Gu Qingzhi did not intend to give him any more chances to resist. She picked up the broken table and hit him hard on the head.

The man had already suffered a head injury and was hit hard again, so he completely fainted. Gu Qingzhi pulled the long knife from his hand and slashed it across his neck.

The room suddenly became quiet, with only the dust flying up and down.

How long has it been since this place was cleaned? Why is there so much dust?

Gu Qingzhi frowned, brushed away the dust in front of her eyes with her hand, and walked into the inner room. Just as she walked around the screen, she saw a small figure sitting barefoot on the window, holding the candle tightly in his hand and looking at her vigilantly.
