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

The thin figure revealed his eyes in the moonlight, and grabbed the clothes of the strong man on the ground to wipe the blade in his hand clean.

Her expression was calm as usual. If her hands were not still stained with blood, no one would believe that she had killed two people in such a neat way.

She put away Lan Zhou, squatted down, pulled out the arrow feathers on the ground and looked at them carefully, confirming that there were no marks, then reached out to pick up the broken black snake head totem.

A dark shadow suddenly fell from the empty beam behind her and stabbed at her with a dagger.

Gu Qingzhi, who was originally unprepared, seemed to have sensed something. She turned around and used the arrow in her hand as a long sword to make a sword flower. With her other hand, she held the blade that was about to stab her, and took advantage of this opportunity to send the arrow into the chest of the person behind her.

This person hid very well. She had probably been lying on the beam without moving since she entered the house. If she had not let her guard down and reacted quickly enough, she would have been the one pierced by the body.

The black shadow spat out a mouthful of blood, and Gu Qingzhi kicked him in the chest where he was hit by the arrow, completely nailing him to the arrow feather.

The man flew out and hit the wall behind him. He coughed up blood with difficulty, and with his last breath, he looked up at her tremblingly.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion...will not...let you go..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his head drooped.

Gu Qingzhi watched him die coldly, but did not respond to his words.

She was reborn in this life just to take revenge on Zuo Xiang and his son. This kind of threat was meaningless to her. She really wanted to see who would not let whom go one day.

From what Gu Qingzhi had just said, it was undoubtedly the Zuo Xiang and his son who killed the Yuzhou governor.

Facts have proved that even if there was no assassin Lan Zhou, they would have used other means to eliminate dissidents.

Now she only needed to take the black snake head totem away and hand it over to Old Man Qin for investigation. As long as she could prove that the totem was related to the Zuo family, they would have serious evidence of the assassination of court officials.

A cluster of bright light shone in through the window. Gu Qingzhi turned around and saw a flaming arrow hitting the letter with only the last corner of the totem left.

She was startled and instinctively wanted to rush over to rescue, but she heard a commotion outside.

"Not good! Not good!"

"The fire is coming! Wake up and stop sleeping!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

Several flashes of fire appeared near Yu Guangzhong's window, and several arrows with bright flames streaked across the inky night sky and flew towards the window, instantly igniting the window paper and bed curtains in the room.

The flames spread rapidly. Gu Qingzhi opened the door to check and was nearly blown back into the house by the heat wave. Outside, there was smoke and flames. The first floor of the inn had been reduced to a sea of ​​fire without anyone noticing.

She covered her mouth and nose and thought to herself, "Oh no!" It looked like the people shooting arrows outside wanted to burn her to death and destroy all the evidence.

The people on the second floor were awakened by the shouting, and the whole inn was in chaos.

Gu Qingzhi knew that if she stayed here any longer she would be discovered sooner or later, so she dodged several flames and quickly climbed out of the window, hiding herself in the darkness.

Although she was unwilling, it was not difficult for her to escape from the inn.

Returning to the villa, she took off her mask depressedly to wipe the blood off her hands, and sighed to the moon, thinking it was a pity that she couldn't bring the totem out.

Judging from the strong obstruction of those assassins, that thing must be of vital importance. Now the clue is broken and everything seems to be back to the starting point.

She looked at the cut on her hand, took out the bandage from her bosom and tied it twice without much interest, then stopped at the door of the back hall.

Oh, forget it, at least the big brother is still there in the future.

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. The important thing to do is to hold on to the thighs. There will be plenty of time to find evidence in the future.

After calming herself down, Gu Qingzhi quietly opened the door and walked into the room.

Feng Zhan Ye should be sleeping soundly at this moment. She dusted herself off and walked around the screen. Under the moonlight, a pair of slender eyes were looking at her with tears in their eyes.

"Where have you been?"

The young man sat on the couch, his soft black hair hanging down. His eyes were red like a little rabbit, as if he had just cried, with a few crystal tears hanging on his chin.

Gu Qingzhi was stunned for a moment and made up a reason.

"I was hungry in the middle of the night, so I went back and ate two cakes."

"Are you a starving ghost reincarnated? You've been eating for so long and you still don't come back." Feng Zhanye was as stubborn as ever, but he didn't blame her for leaving her post. He just pursed his lips and rolled his eyes at her.

It seems that he has been awake for a long time.

Gu Qingzhi was in a bad mood and was too lazy to make excuses for such a question, so she just ignored it and walked around the screen into the inner room and stood in front of the bed to ask him.

"Then why are you crying?"

"I... I dreamed that you were killed by the evil spirit, but when I woke up I found that you were really gone. I thought you..."

The young man grabbed the corner of the quilt, and was honest for once, with his furry eyebrows knitted into a ball, looking at her with some annoyance.

"Think something happened to me?" Gu Qingzhi walked to the foot of the bed and sat down, looking at him calmly.

The boy lowered his head and nodded slightly.

Well done, this child can't wait for her to get any better.

Gu Qingzhi kept repeating to herself that it was okay, she would just get used to it, and reached out to wipe away the tears hanging from his eyelashes.

"what happened to your hand?"

The boy immediately noticed the bandage on her hand and pulled her wrist over to take a look.

When he saw the blood oozing from the bandage, perhaps because he was scared or for some other reason, his eyes flickered and his frowned brows revealed some unreadable emotions.

"Uh...it's nothing, just an accidental scratch."

Gu Qingzhi completely forgot about the injury on her hand and could only reluctantly avoid the topic and hide her injured hand behind her back.

"Do you remember the bet we made this day?" She changed her hand and asked him softly while wiping it.

"Ah."

Feng Zhanye nodded and let her calloused thumb stroke across his tender face.

"I'm still fine now, and it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

The young man looked into Gu Qingzhi's deep eyes and felt that her calm and determined gaze was even gentler than the moonlight in the room.

He seemed to hear a corner of the ice on the winter lake deep in his heart breaking, and ripples appeared on the water below.

He reached out and covered Gu Qingzhi's fingers that were touching his cheek, rubbed her palm affectionately, and whispered "OK".

Gu Qingzhi was stunned.

The palms of her hands felt itchy and her heart felt like it was scratched by a cat. The boy who used to feel uncomfortable if he didn't say something to her, nowadays, was so completely obedient.

Is it the distortion of human nature or the decline of morality?

Could it be that he had finally come to his senses? Did he realize that the evil spirit on him was fake?

All sorts of stuff.

Gu Qingzhi shook her head, getting rid of these inexplicable thoughts.

"I... want you to hug me, just for a little while."

The boy raised his head and looked at her pleadingly, biting his pink lips tightly, a blush appeared on his face, as if he had mustered up his courage, and his pitiful little eyes seemed as if he was afraid of being rejected.

Gu Qingzhi stretched out her hands as if possessed by a ghost and put her arms around the boy's thin shoulders.

The shadow under the moonlight gradually approached, and the familiar fresh breath filled the entire nasal cavity.

Feng Zhanye closed his eyes greedily and buried his face tightly in her shoulder. His small hands also reached behind her and gently wrapped around her waist.

The shadows completely overlapped, and Gu Qingzhi reached out and gently patted his back, calming all his emotions.

The curses outside the courtyard, the humiliation from the Zuo brothers, and the contempt from the servants in the prime minister's mansion these days were all gone from him at this moment, leaving only a comfortable peace.

If possible, he just wants to continue like this.
