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

The first watch had passed and most of the guests in Chongshan Pavilion had left. In the north courtyard decorated with lights and colorful decorations, Liu Xuefu still hadn't waited for her husband.

"Master, the lady is still waiting for you. Do you want to go to the other side first?" The servant next to him couldn't help but remind him.

At this moment, Zuo Chengyu was sitting in the study, quietly waiting for the assassin he sent to bring back the body of Guang'an Marquis's eldest son.

His slender fingers stroked the brocade box beside the table and said leisurely, "No need, let her wait, it's almost time, go and deliver this thing to father's room."

The servant agreed, took the brocade box and left the study.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw a dark shadow walking towards me not far away. He seemed to be carrying something on his shoulder, which could be vaguely seen as a sack.

"Master, the person is back." The servant announced and went to do his own thing.

Zuo Chengyu followed the assassin as he entered the study room and watched him put the things he was carrying on the ground and open the sack, revealing a child in dark clothes inside.

"The person you wanted to kill has been killed by me. The body is here."

The assassin took a breath, straightened up and pointed at the child on the ground.

Zuo Chengyu stood up and walked over, looked down at the child's face and confirmed that he was indeed the legitimate son of Marquis Guang'an.

"Where is your knife? How come you suffocated to death?" Zuo Chengyu turned his head to look at the assassin, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

That look seemed to reveal a person's innermost thoughts. The assassin broke out in sweat after being stared at by him for a few times.

He quickly lowered his head to look at the child, avoiding his gaze, and said something nonsense: "There's no need to use a knife on such a small thing. It can be suffocated to death in two strokes."

He secretly glanced at Zuo Chengyu, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he didn't express any objection.

When he first met Zuo Chengyu, he felt that he was very approachable. If such a noble and gentle person was forced to hire someone to kill him, the person he wanted to kill must not be a good person.

But now that Lan Zhou has enlightened him, he seems to be a creepy and sinister person, with a very gloomy mind. He is definitely not someone who is easy to mess with.

He secretly regretted that he was too hasty when accepting the job. When he heard that it was a job for the Prime Minister's Mansion, he thought it was a lucrative job without thinking twice.

He just wanted to finish what Lan Zhou had told him to do, so he asked, "What should we do with the body? Bury it or throw it away?"

"What? You look very anxious?" Every question Zuo Chengyu asked made him tremble with fear.

He scratched his head hurriedly and said, "No, why keep the body if the person is dead?"

Zuo Chengyu stopped answering and leaned down to carefully examine the child's body himself.

The assassin was watching from the side, feeling nervous, fearing that Lan Zhou might notice something, and he also began to admire Lan Zhou.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion which is so heavily guarded, he was able to completely predict Zuo Chengyu's every move, which shows his real strength.

He was extremely glad that he gave in quickly, otherwise he would have been the one with his head and body separated.

Zuo Chengyu checked carefully and didn't seem to find anything unusual about the child. He stood up, took a handkerchief beside him, wiped his hands, and called the palace soldiers stationed outside the study.

"Okay, let's go and dispose of the body. You guys, follow him."

The assassin was as if he had been granted amnesty. He picked up the child and was about to leave, but suddenly a voice came from behind him.

"and many more."

The assassin's heart suddenly tightened and he had to stop.

Could it be that he had been discovered? He swallowed his saliva, held his breath, and slowly turned his head, mentally preparing for Zuo Chengyu to give an order on the spot, and the government troops around the courtyard were ready to execute him on the spot.

"What...what happened?"

However, Zuo Chengyu just narrowed his eyes and smiled and reminded: "Don't forget to go to the Guards' Court to settle the money."

"Got it, thank you sir." Fortunately, he was not discovered. The assassin then remembered to take a breath and followed the palace army out of the north courtyard.

It was dim in the bamboo forest outside the north courtyard, without a single light. The patrolling guards walked past the lotus pond holding lanterns. The thick bamboo forest completely blocked out the light, and no one noticed that there were two dark shadows hiding in the bamboo forest.

Seeing that the guards were walking away, Wu Fang changed his squatting position. He glanced at Gu Qingzhi beside him and whispered, "It's a dark and windy day, it's a good time to kill people and rob! Brother Gu, why do you want me to hide here with you?"

Gu Qingzhi glanced at him and said coldly: "Save people."

"Save people? Who can be saved in this place?" Wu Fang picked his teeth in boredom and looked around.

Before Gu Qingzhi could answer him, they saw several palace soldiers and a man in black walking towards them.

"Someone's coming! Let's quickly find another place to hide!"

Seeing that several people were getting closer and closer to him, Wu Fang hurried to remind Gu Qingzhi, but she pulled him back.

"Shh, right here."

He squatted back to his original position doubtfully and looked at the men nervously, and saw that they stopped just when they were about to discover the two men.

He was stunned for a moment, gave Gu Qingzhi a thumbs up, and his mouth shape said "Your calculation is really accurate."

Gu Qingzhi's attention was not on him, she was staring at several people closely.

Those palace soldiers seemed to have exchanged a few words with the black-clad assassin, and the assassin looked around secretly while talking with them.

Gu Qingzhi thought for a moment, cupped her hands to her mouth, and imitated the calls of a partridge.

Wu Fang looked at her in surprise, obviously not expecting that she could do this.

Several soldiers turned their heads to look into the bamboo forest, thinking it was just the sound of birds and paid no attention to it.

The assassin seemed to have received some signal and seemed to have an idea in mind. He picked up the bag containing the eldest son of Marquis Guang'an, walked a little further in the direction of the sound, and threw the bag into the pool beside Gu Qingzhi.

He pretended to be enthusiastic and embraced a few soldiers from the palace and walked back, blocking their view.

Gu Qingzhi quickly pulled Wu Fang and ran towards the lotus pond.

"Guard Wu, please get in the water and help me get the bag out."

Wu Fang then understood why Gu Qingzhi had asked him to come. Without asking too many questions, he immediately jumped into the water.

Because the bag had just been thrown into the water and had not yet sunk to the bottom, Wu Fang lifted it out of the water without much effort.

Gu Qingzhi rushed to the shore to respond and pulled the bag and the person up.

She opened the bag, revealing the child inside, and Wu Fang was immediately startled.

"Oh my god! He really saved people!"

Gu Qingzhi didn't have time to pay attention to his idle chatter. She lifted the child's head and pushed out the ball that was blocking his nostrils. She checked to see if there was any trace of water stains and confirmed that no water had been choked on. Only then did she feel relieved.

She picked up the child, looked around to make sure no one saw her, and said to Wu Fang, "Let's go back to the courtyard."

In this way, the child was saved. Next, it depends on Aye.
