The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

"Gu Ming? Is he Gu Zhiqing's cousin?" Zuo Xiangning asked in surprise.

"Yes, that's him. He has always told others that his name is Lu Fei." Zhang Tudao: "Today, two of his fellow villagers said that his name is Gu Ming, and he is the cousin of Mr. Gu. But after Mr. Gu left his hometown many years ago, I never contacted him again. After he came to Beijing, he changed his name to Lu Fei and claimed to be Mrs. Gu's cousin."

Zuo Xiangning swallowed, Gu Zhiqing's life experience was really "troublesome".

"What did Shuntian Mansion say?"

"It is said that Shuntian Mansion has gone to report the matter to the eldest princess, but there has been no movement from the eldest princess's mansion," Zhang Tudao said.

"Does the Emperor know about this?" Zuo Xiangning asked with concern.

Zhang Tu shook his head, "I asked the yamen officer, and he said he didn't know, and I have to wait until he gets the answer from the master tonight."

Zuo Xiangning asked Panxia to get him twenty taels of silver and "treat the yamen servant to have some wine."

"When my father left, he left some money for me." Zhang Tu didn't take it and said with a smile, "I'll tell the girl when I have no more use for it."

"Take it." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "Be generous and don't let others look down upon you."

Zhang Tu took the silver with a blushing face.

At night, Zuo Xiangning was lying on the bed and just about to fall asleep when she heard the sound of weapons clashing outside.

She was startled.

He quickly stood up and opened the bed curtain, trying to call out "Bingyu" softly.

Bingyu walked in neatly from the outside, "Why is the girl awake?"

Zuo Xiangning was even more shocked, "What's going on outside?"

Bingyu thought for a moment and whispered: "Girl, don't worry, the Marquis has arranged many people around our yard for safety."

"Is someone coming?" Zuo Xiangning felt even more nervous, "Do you know who it is?"

Bingyu shook his head, "I don't know what's going on outside right now. Bingyun went out to see it, but he hasn't come back yet."

Zuo Xiangning got busy and put on her clothes.

Making such a big noise in the middle of the night, I don't know if it will alert Jiang's side.

The sound outside continued for about half an hour before slowly quieting down.

Bingyun came in from outside with messy hair. When he saw Zuo Xiangning, he was startled and said, "Did you wake up the girl?"

"Are any of our people injured?" Zuo Xiangning asked with concern.

"Two people were slightly injured and have gone back to get bandaged." Bingyun said.

"Who is coming?" Zuo Xiangning asked.

Bingyun shook his head, "There are two people following them. There may be a reply later."

"Tell everyone outside to be alert and be careful if they leave and come back." Zuo Xiangning said nervously: "Also, find a way to contact Marquis Jingyuan tomorrow. I want to see him."

"I'll be watching outside." Bingyun agreed and exited the door.

Bingyu said: "Girl, please sleep for a while longer, I will keep watch outside."

Zuo Xiangning didn't dare to take off her clothes. She lay on the bed with her eyes wide open.

In the capital, there was someone who dared to break into her home. No matter who this person was, he was quite arrogant.

Moreover, what did he want to do in his own yard?

Do you want to catch yourself or kill yourself?

Zuo Xiangning was thinking wildly when she heard the sound of the door opening outside.

She hurriedly sat up from the bed and asked nervously, "Bingyu, what's wrong?" "It's me." A man's voice sounded outside the bed.

Zuo Xiangning opened the bed curtain and saw a man dressed in black standing beside the bed.

"Why are you here?" Zuo Xiangning asked with lingering fear.

"Are you scared?" Ling Xiao looked at her pale face and stepped forward to hold her in his arms, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

"Who is it? Is it Gu Zhiqing?" Zuo Xiangning asked worriedly.

"Who else could be there besides him?" Ling Xiao said: "When I left you last time, I met Gu Zhiqing outside the wall. He already knew that everything was done by me. Now that things have been exposed, it should be Prepare to use you to blackmail me."

"How does the eldest princess react now?" Zuo Xiangning asked with concern.

Ling Xiao patted her on the back, "The eldest princess didn't react at all. She hasn't left the house for a day. No one knows what she is thinking, but this news should be a big blow to her."

"Why did Gu Zhiqing come to me? Shouldn't he go to Shuntian Mansion to kill his cousin, and then die without any evidence?" Zuo Xiangning asked confused.

"I also thought he would do this, so I waited for him at Shuntian Mansion, but he didn't go, but came to you..."

"He wants to lure the tiger away from the mountain!" Zuo Xiangning interrupted Ling Xiao and said in panic: "It's over, he must have gone to Shuntian Mansion now!"

"Don't worry, I have set up a dragnet in Shuntian Mansion. As long as he goes, he will never come back." Ling Xiao let go of Zuo Xiangning and let her lie down, "You go on sleeping, I will stay with you here. .”

"You go about your business." Zuo Xiangning pulled the quilt up to her neck, "I'm fine here."

"Tonight, Gu Zhiqing will not calm down." Ling Xiao lay beside her. "If anything happens elsewhere, we can find ways to make up for it, but if something happens to you here, it will scare me to death."

Zuo Xiangning turned sideways and covered him with the quilt, curled up in his arms, and said aggrievedly: "It really scared me just now."

Ling Xiao held her in his arms and kissed her on the head, "Go to sleep, I'm here."

Zuo Xiangning let out a soft "hmm" and closed her eyes obediently.

Ling Xiao didn't want to push Zuo Xiangning away from the limelight, but if he didn't catch Gu Zhiqing quickly now, the matter would get bigger and bigger, and Zuo Xiangning would inevitably be involved.

The next day, it was almost dawn when Zuo Xiangning woke up. Looking at Ling Xiao who was still lying beside her bed, she hurriedly pushed him awake.

"Its daybreak."

Ling Xiao opened his eyes and turned to look out the window.

He hugged her tightly again before getting up and getting out of bed.

"I'm leaving first. You don't want to go anywhere during the day."

"You should also be careful." Zuo Xiangning reminded worriedly: "Gu Zhiqing is now extremely vicious, no different from a mad dog... She won't be harmful to the eldest princess, right? If the eldest princess has three strengths and two weaknesses, then he can't be driven away. Leaving the princess mansion?"

"Even if the eldest princess is really evil and he is not the eldest princess's son, he still has to move out of the eldest princess's house." Ling Xiao looked at her and said seriously: "If the eldest princess dies, all her things will be lost." Everything must be returned to the Emperor, including the musketry team in her hands. What's more, Gu Zhiqing's cousin is already a useless man and is of no use to the Emperor, and the same goes for Gu Zhiqing."

Zuo Xiangning breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Zhiqing was completely finished this time.

After Ling Xiao left, Zuo Xiangning asked Bingyun and Bingyu to go down and rest.

She thought that even if Gu Zhiqing was crazy, he would not dare to come to her place in broad daylight.

But she thought wrong. When she heard the sudden sound of fighting outside, before anyone could go to the back room to call Bingyun and Bingyu, Gu Zhiqing burst in from outside the courtyard with a bloody sword. .

Zhang Rui's He Panxia stood in front of Zuo Xiangning with pale faces, and asked in a trembling voice: "What do you want to do?"

Gu Zhiqing pointed his sword at Zuo Xiangning, his eyes scarlet, "If you don't want them to die, just come here obediently!"
