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

Gu Qingzhi had just picked up the eldest son of Marquis Guang'an when she heard footsteps approaching from afar. Someone was coming this way, and she hurriedly made a gesture to Feng Zhanye.

Now, Feng Zhanye's hearing has become more acute after a year of training by Gu Qingzhi. He obviously noticed that it was the sound of two people talking while walking, and one of them sounded like Zuo Lanxin.

"Azhi, leave this to me, you take him and hide him first."

Feng Zhan Ye didn't have time to think about anything else and walked towards the direction of the footsteps.

Gu Qingzhi hid behind a tree and whispered to the child in her arms, "Your mother is here to look for you. Don't make any noise. I will take you away quietly in a while."

The eldest son of Marquis Guang'an covered his mouth and nodded obediently.

Feng Zhanye had just walked out of the maple forest when he ran into Zuo Lanxin who was coming over with a woman who looked like an official's wife.

“Brother Ye! This is the wife of Marquis Guang’an, whom you asked me to pass on the message just now.” Zuo Lanxin introduced and winked at Feng Zhanye as if to seek credit.

Feng Zhanye did not look at her, but looked directly at the woman beside her.

The woman looked at Feng Zhanye inconspicuously and bowed to him slightly: "I guess my master made a fool of himself in the mansion. I hope he didn't cause any trouble to Lord Zuo Xiang?"

“Don’t worry, ma’am. Lord Guo just chatted about some official matters with Lord Zuo Xiang and got drunk. Now he is resting in the guest room of Chongshan Pavilion.” Feng Zhanye stood tall not far from the two of them, keeping a decent distance.

"That's good, but... I don't know where my good-for-nothing son has gone to play, and I, the maid, can't even keep an eye on him. What should I do..."

As Lady Yuan, wife of Marquis Guang'an, spoke, she looked around but still couldn't see her child, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Feng Zhanye took over the conversation and raised his lips slightly to reveal a faint smile: "Madam, you can go to see Guang'an Hou first. I will gather some servants to look for your son later. When we find him, we will send him to you immediately."

Yuan hesitated and thought for a moment, then looked carefully at Feng Zhanye's face which seemed to have no offensive power at all, and nodded.

"Then I'll trouble Your Highness Prince Duan."

Gu Qingzhi watched Yuan walk away before coming out from behind the tree and nodding slightly to Feng Zhanye.

Next we have to act separately.

Gu Qingzhi carried the eldest son of Marquis Guang'an and took a shortcut back to the villa before putting him down.

The children were particularly curious about the new environment and walked around the courtyard.

Gu Qingzhi patiently accompanied him around the yard for a long circle before bringing him back to the back hall.

As soon as he entered the room, the child saw Xiaohua sleeping on the bed with his sharp eyes and shouted excitedly.

"Wow! There's a kitten!"

He pulled Gu Qingzhi and ran over in two or three steps. He sat beside the couch and carefully stretched out his hand to touch Xiaohua's fur.

Now, Xiaohua has become a little lazy because of Gu Qingzhi and the people in the other courtyard. Feeling that the child meant no harm, it just opened its eyes to look, then closed its eyes and continued snoring to itself.

"How cute! Big brother, what's its name?"

"Xiaohua." Gu Qingzhi answered truthfully.

"Xiaohua, Xiaohua, go to sleep."

The child's face was full of innocence, and he was coaxing the kitten just like an adult.

Gu Qingzhi just watched him play quietly, her mind completely focused on being alert to any disturbance around her.

Soon, the light in the house gradually dimmed, and the wedding banquet in the main house should be coming to an end.

Gu Qingzhi looked at the eldest son of Marquis Guang'an who had fallen asleep on the couch due to exhaustion from playing, and stretched her shoulders and neck twice.

"I don't know how Aye is doing..." she muttered to herself.

Suddenly, hearing some slight noises outside the house, Gu Qingzhi immediately became alert.

She lay on the couch, pretending not to notice anything and pulled up the curtain, leaving only a palm-width gap, and saw a shadow flash past the window.

Zuo Fuhong indeed sent an assassin.

A few wisps of white smoke drifted in through the window, and someone outside the house was blowing sleeping pills into the house.

Gu Qingzhi saw it through the gap in the curtain, and quickly covered her mouth and nose, holding her breath and waiting.

She was very familiar with this routine. In Wutong Lane, this kind of drug was very popular among assassins.

The advantage of this thing is that it is cheap, but the effect is average. The smoke and dust are large and dispersed quickly, and it is only truly effective during the time it is blown into the air.

As long as she covers her mouth and nose with linen, most of the energy can be blocked, and the remaining amount is not enough to knock her down.

After waiting for a while, when the white smoke from the window gap had dissipated, Gu Qingzhi finally opened her mouth and nose and took a deep breath.

As if there was no movement in the room, a dark shadow pushed open the door and walked in.

The man, dressed in black, closed the door, looked around, and found the drawn bed curtain, and tiptoed towards him.

Gu Qingzhi pretended to sleep with his eyes slightly open, only to hear the assassin draw out the dagger from his waist, and then one side of the bed curtain was lifted. He looked carefully at the situation on the bed.

As if he had confirmed the target of the assassination, he raised the dagger and stabbed at the son of Marquis Guang'an.

Seeing that the blade was about to touch the child's chest, Gu Qingzhi waited for an opportunity to move.

She instantly drew out the Lanzhou from her waist, raised her hand and pushed the man's dagger back, then kicked the assassin in the abdomen and attacked him fiercely.

The assassin obviously didn't expect that there was someone awake on the couch. He had no time to dodge and was kicked, sending him flying backwards.

"boom"

Gu Qingzhi was familiar with all the furnishings in the back hall, and she accurately made him bump into the table and chairs behind him, and then he let out a muffled groan.

The blow was quite severe. Before he could get up from the ground, Gu Qingzhi's blade had already quietly attacked him.

Just as she was about to dodge, the assassin suddenly grabbed a handful of powder from somewhere and threw it towards Gu Qingzhi's face.

Gu Qingzhi suddenly thought of something and saw through his intention before he did. She withdrew her hand and turned sideways to block most of the powder.

The air was filled with the smell of lime powder. Fortunately, she dodged quickly. If this stuff got into the eyes, it would take a while to get it out, and it would continue to burn the eyeballs, making it impossible to open the eyes.

She was very familiar with this whole smooth process. This little trick was used too often by Old Man Qin.

At that moment, she was almost 100% certain that the assassin must have come from Wutong Lane.

"Damn it...Go to hell!"

Seeing that his sneak attack failed, the assassin reacted quickly and took advantage of the opportunity to stand up, spat, and slashed at Gu Qingzhi with a knife.

Now that Gu Qingzhi knew this man's origins, she had an idea in her mind. There were only a few people in Wutong Lane whose skills could be compared with hers. Obviously, he was not one of them.

She used her left hand to rub his dagger and slashed it, and when the blade was about to cut through her sleeve, she easily dodged the deadly blade.

He climbed up the assassin's shoulder with his hand and suddenly exerted force. There was a dull "click" sound, and the man's arm fell down limply in an instant.

The dagger fell to the ground because he suddenly lost the strength to hold it. The assassin was struck by lightning. He suddenly bent his body and covered his arm and wailed.

Gu Qingzhi stepped on the dagger, then slowly placed the Lanzhou in her hand around his neck.

"Shh...you're being too noisy."

She stared at his arms teasingly and pulled the mask off his face.

His true appearance was exposed, and the assassin's eyes instantly turned into panic. However, he was held by Gu Qingzhi's blade, so he dared not move and could only keep quiet.
