Shen Li knew that he was unhappy because he didn't like Zhuo Da anymore because of Zhuo Er's betrayal: "Okay, I'm fine now."

"It's too late if something happens. How could your subordinates be so easily tempted? It's because you are too kind that they are so unscrupulous and even betray their master."

In fact, Shen Li was more surprised than angry. She didn't give anything to Zhuo Er. They were just like a boss and an employee. She paid him and he worked for her.

But in the end, nothing happened. If something had happened, she might have regretted not noticing it, right?

If Luo Qi betrayed her, she would not only be angry but also sad. It would be different after all.

"Okay, I'm fine now, let's go back."

Prime Minister's House.

"Did you send someone to kill Shen Li?" Gu Cheng'an asked.

"I... I also want to help you. I have an insider, and I guarantee that it will succeed this time." Shen Yanyan said.

Gu Chengan sneered: "Success? But the news I received is that all the people you sent out died, and only one came back, but he also died just now."

Shen Yanyan was shocked: "Impossible, I sent out so many people, how is it possible that I can't even kill Shen Li who doesn't know martial arts?"

"Have you forgotten that there is always an expert following her?"

"So what? Two fists can't beat four hands, not to mention we have to protect Shen Li, who is a burden."

"Shen Li is not a burden. She knows martial arts and hidden weapons, so she doesn't need anyone to protect her. You don't even know the enemy's background, but you rashly send people to assassinate her. Do you have a brain?" Gu Cheng'an was really angry.

She acted behind his back and lost more than twenty secret guards. Although these people were not the most powerful, they were also considered good.

"Are you... blaming me? Brother Cheng'an, I am doing this for your own good. I have an informant next to Shen Li who told me her schedule. That's why I felt that I couldn't miss such a good opportunity. If we weren't in Kyoto, there would be no chance to kill her."

"Yan Yan, I'm angry why didn't you tell me?"

"Will you agree if I tell you? Brother Cheng'an, do you have other thoughts about her?" Shen Yanyan asked with red eyes.

Gu Chengan's heart moved: "How is it possible? I like you. You know that Qin Yu is my enemy. Shen Li is at most a bargaining chip to contain Qin Yu, so killing her is not the purpose. Do you understand?"

"Really? But I think you just want her to be alive. Brother Cheng'an, what's so good about Shen Li? You've only met her a few times? I'm yours now, shouldn't you focus all your attention on me?" Shen Yanyan said crying.

Gu Chengan looked at her crying and finally softened his heart: "Yan Yan, you think too much. I have always liked you. I am just angry that you did it behind my back and killed so many people in vain. There is really nothing else."

"Okay, then I believe Brother Cheng'an. Brother Cheng'an doesn't like me to act on my own, so I will definitely discuss this with you in the future, okay?"

"Okay, I'm not angry anymore, and you don't cry anymore." Gu Cheng'an said, wiping Shen Yanyan's tears.

Shen Yanyan smiled shyly: "I'll listen to Brother Cheng'an." Then she leaned in Gu Cheng'an's arms. "Shen Li, I didn't expect you to be so lucky that I can't kill you even after so many times."

And Gu Cheng'an, he clearly had feelings for Shen Li. Now in his study, there was still the ball from the last Cuju match. If he wasn't thinking about Shen Li, why would he keep a broken ball?

Gu Cheng'an was indeed thinking about Shen Li at this time. When he heard that Shen Yanyan sent someone to kill Shen Li, he suddenly felt a little panicked. He didn't feel relieved until he heard that Shen Li was fine.

He had to admit that he was afraid that something would happen to Shen Li. He didn't care about the loss of manpower. This was just an excuse he made for himself. He could have taken action against Shen Li before, but now, he knew he couldn't.

Also, he always thought that Shen Yanyan was a pure and kind person, but he didn't expect her to do such a thing. Shen Li was her cousin, and she actually wanted to kill him. It turned out that her heart was so cruel.

She even said that it was for his own good. He knew everything about her past but just didn't tell her. He also knew the grudge between her and Shen Li. It was obvious that she wanted to kill Shen Li, but she still said that it was for his own good. When did she become so hypocritical?

He thought of Shen Li again, frank, direct, brave, smart, maybe he...

At night, Shen Yanyan sneaked out of Gu's house and went to the agreed place.

When we got to the river, we found Zhuo Er was already there.

"Yan Yan, you are finally here." Zhuo Er said happily.

"Have you been waiting here for a long time?"

"Well, I'll be waiting here after I return to Kyoto. Let's go." As he said that, Zhuo Er was about to carry Shen Yanyan onto the horse.

"Zhuo Er, Shen Li is not dead."

Zhuo Er lowered his head. In fact, he knew that when he entered the woods, he hid, not for Shen Li, but for his elder brother. He couldn't bear to see his elder brother being killed.

"you know?"

"Yan Yan, Shen Li is a good person and is very good to us brothers. Now that I have betrayed her for you, can't you let her go? Isn't it good for us to run away together?" Zhuo Er said.

Shen Yanyan suppressed her anger and smiled gently: "Okay, let's go together. Come and help me get on the horse?"

"Okay." Zhuo Er happily approached Shen Yanyan and was about to carry her onto the horse, but he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. He lowered his head to look at the painful spot and found a dagger stuck there, so he looked up at Shen Yanyan: "Have you ever liked me?"

Shen Yanyan finally returned to her true self: "No, do you think I would leave the prime minister's son behind and fall in love with a servant like you? I'm just using you to deal with Shen Li. If you're not even that useful, why keep you around?"

Zhuo Er spat out a mouthful of blood, then smiled bitterly: "Actually, I should have understood. We agreed to kill the young lady and leave together, but you didn't even take a bag. I knew you didn't want to leave with me, but you still held on to a little hope. Yanyan, I really like you. I liked you the first time I saw you."

"So what? The world is just like this. Who says that if you like someone, the other person has to like you back? Zhuo Er, reincarnate into a wealthy family in your next life, then maybe I can give you a chance." Shen Yanyan said as she pulled out the dagger and stabbed it a few more times with force.

As the dagger went in and out, Zhuo Er could only make "uh, uh" sounds.

When he was about to fall to the ground, Shen Yanyan kicked him hard into the river behind him.

"Don't blame me, blame Shen Li. You're hers. If you're alive, she will ask you to testify that it was I who sent people to assassinate her. Gu Cheng'an will also be unhappy. He is the only one I can rely on now, and I will never let him be dissatisfied with me." After saying that, Shen Yanyan hid the bloody dagger in her sleeve and turned away.
