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

Now all the survivors in the villa are gathered in the back hall, and they all have a feeling of surviving a disaster.

The room, which was not big to begin with, seemed quite crowded with a few more people standing in it, but it was also a little warmer.

Matron Liu bandaged Wu Fang's wound in silence. The wound on his back was quite deep, and a lot of flesh and skin had been torn off by the spikes on the chains of the two men. After using Gu Qingzhi's external injury powder, he grimaced in pain and rolled his eyes, almost passing out.

Gu Qingzhi searched the two bodies carefully again and did not find any traces on them. Feng Zhanye just looked at her silently.

With Qiu Jiang Qiu Hong's comfort, the crazy servant felt better and finally calmed down.

Aunt Liu found some time to look up at the two people at the door and pointed at them: "Come here, both of you, and tell me what happened today."

Qiu Jiang pulled Qiu Hong forward and knelt down. He kowtowed first and then told her about his experience.

"I went out with Guard Gu today. Guard Gu went to the stall to buy sugar paintings for His Highness. We were selecting rice and flour at the grain and oil shop. Suddenly, someone came up with a waist badge from the Prime Minister's Mansion and told us that he had found another job for us so that we no longer had to serve in the other courtyard."

Qiu Hong took over her words and said, "We were confused for a moment and followed him. Who would have thought that he would catch us in the alley and kill us! Fortunately, Guard Gu arrived in time to save us. But now we have been targeted. Please, Your Highness and Madam, give us a way out!"

Perhaps they were frightened by the assassination or regretting their foolish choice, the two couldn't help sobbing.

Aunt Liu sneered and glanced at them coldly: "You are really good servants. You are not loyal on weekdays, but when you are about to die, you still want the master's blessing."

The two of them could not deny it. They cried for a while, as if they had made a decision. Qiu Jiang bowed his head respectfully and said, "Your Highness, Madam, this time it was thanks to Guard Gu who rescued us. We are so grateful and have no way to repay you. We know we were wrong and will let Madam punish us. In the future, we will serve you wholeheartedly and repay your kindness."

It's too late to show your loyalty now.

Feng Zhanye sat aside without saying a word. No matter how much these people talked, he didn't believe a single thing. At this moment, all he could see were the dense blood spots on Gu Qingzhi's hands.

Nanny Liu softened her tone a bit, considering that they were usually quite smart and didn't dislike Feng Zhanye as obviously as Xianmei and Xianman did. However, she would not easily forgive their previous indifference and laziness, so she planned to take this opportunity to teach them a lesson.

"Our Prince Duan is not one of those people who is cold-hearted by nature. If you had never disliked him, he would not have ignored you like he is now. If you want to stay, you need to reflect on yourself and think carefully about your future actions."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Both of them agreed with tears in their eyes.

After Madam Liu finished her lecture, she turned her attention to Gu Qingzhi. Seeing her frowning, she couldn't help but ask with concern, "Little Guard Gu, you looked so sad just now. What's wrong with you?"

Gu Qingzhi came back to her senses and suddenly remembered that Feng Zhanye and Madam Liu had both lived in the palace and were more knowledgeable than she was. After thinking for a moment, she looked at him and Madam Liu and asked, "Your Highness, Madam, have you seen the black snake head totem?"

The two were confused by the question and shook their heads.

"What... 'Black Snake Head Totem'? What does it mean?" Aunt Liu asked her in confusion.

Gu Qingzhi was a little disappointed with the result of the inquiry, but now these assassins were all coming for Feng Zhanye, so they should indeed know.

Gu Qingzhi told everything about the man in black.

The room was eerily quiet for a while, and no one spoke for a long while. It was Wu Fang who came to his senses first.

"Why does it sound like something out of a storybook? Is this true?"

Gu Qingzhi glanced at him sideways. Before she could say anything, Qiu Jiang and Qiu Hong spoke first: "We can testify! What Guard Gu said is true. We saw it with our own eyes!"

This matter was indeed incredible and difficult to understand. Even if everyone racked their brains, they could not explain why the tattoo disappeared.

Feng Zhanye was the first to understand what Gu Qingzhi meant. He raised his head and looked at her: "At least now I know that there is a group of people who want to harm me."

Gu Qingzhi nodded: "There are only two or three assassins now, so it's easy to deal with them, but an organization can't have only these few people. This time, I'm afraid they just underestimated us."

Aunt Liu immediately understood: "So the most important thing now is to protect His Highness and seek help."

"Who are we looking for? We have no evidence and no connections. It must be difficult to even report to the police, right?" Wu Fang was injured but his mouth was busy. He picked up the fruit on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

Feng Zhanye seemed to have been touched on a sore spot. He hesitated for a while and looked at Gu Qingzhi and said, "Please help me take another letter to the Lin family."

The death of so many people would have been a huge event for any other family, and a large-scale search would have been conducted throughout the mansion long ago. However, after the commander of the guards brought people to take a look in the evening, after a perfunctory investigation, they hastily concluded that the incident was a gangster disturbance.

Gu Qingzhi had already guessed that they would find an excuse to suppress the matter, but she still couldn't help but admire their ability to lie with open eyes.

All the bodies were taken back to the main residence and placed at the door of the study in the north courtyard.

Zuo Chengyu sat in front of the desk, tapping the table rhythmically with his finger wearing a red jade ring, making a muffled "thump thump" sound. He raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.

A man in black stood in the study with his hands behind his back. He wore a black hat on his head. A hideous scar ran across the exposed half of his face. On his belt hung a token with a black snake head totem engraved on it.

"You didn't believe what I said before, but now you have verified it yourself, and this is the result." Zuo Chengyu raised his chin and motioned him to look towards the courtyard.

The man turned around and looked at the assassin's body being carried back indifferently. He whistled calmly and said with a click of the tongue twice: "I didn't expect that the little evil star is not as easy to deal with as he was in the palace just because he has a few more servants around him."

"Young Master Zuo said that there is a way to deal with him. It seems that he has made a plan. Now let's not keep you in suspense. How about we tell you about it?" He turned around and stared at Zuo Chengyu.

Zuo Chengyu smiled, took a stack of letters from the table and pushed them to the foot of the table, motioning the man to come and look.

"What is this?" The man picked up the letter and looked at it suspiciously, then opened the envelope and took out the paper inside.

As he watched, Zuo Chengyu explained to him: "I sent people to the Lin family to inquire, and these are the letters between him and the Lin family."

The man frowned when he saw the black snake head mentioned in the letter.

Zuo Chengyu spoke up at the right time: "If you want to make someone completely hopeless, the best way is to start with him. Now that he has made his decision, why don't we go with the flow and give him a hand?"

"How can I help?" The man closed the letter, as if he had thought of something. A sly smile appeared on his ferocious face, and his eyes were full of crazy excitement.

"Let him get what he wants, and then..." Zuo Chengyu paused, "completely destroy him."
