Chapter 277

"Gu Qingye, am I crazy or are you unclean and self-respecting? When you liked Qin Yang before, I never saw you like this."

Early in the morning, Zhuang Linglie questioned her with a dark face, which made her feel bad.

"I know what to do and what not to do. Don't worry. I'm innocent!"

Since Zhuang Linglie came back from the defeat and the old general died in battle, Gu Qingye knew that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't care too much about him.

If he had been yelling like that before, she would have beaten him up long ago.

Gu Qingye is a modern person, and he is not as pedantic about chastity as in ancient times.

But it was because she liked Jiang Beiyao and valued him, so she didn't want to have anything to do with him hastily.

After everything will come to fruition and stabilized in the future, then...
Life still needs a sense of ritual.

It was too much for Zhuang Linglie to question her and Jiang Beiyao with such dirty thoughts.

"You can go back." Gu Qingye immediately chased away.

But Zhuang Linglie hasn't left yet.

"Your Majesty entrusted me with the task of thoroughly investigating the assassin." He stared at Gu Qingye, looking back and forth at her with probing eyes.

Zhuang Linglie is different from those easily dismissed guards. He has very keen insight and is not so easy to deal with.

Gu Qingye felt guilty for a while, but it didn't show on his face.

"Then you go and catch your assassin, what are you doing here? Can I conjure the assassin for you?"

Zhuang Linglie was noncommittal, but changed the subject and said, "I already knew about the friction between you and the guards yesterday, Gu Qingye, do you have anything to explain?"

"What's the explanation? I'm a princess and I beat up a guard. Do I still need to report to you as a general?"

Gu Qingye didn't let go, Zhuang Linglie rolled his eyes at him.

"Last night I caught a corpse with a wounded right arm. It looks like an assassin."

"Then it's over, you can take the assassin's body to the business." Gu Qingye responded as it should.

But Zhuang Linglie didn't believe it. He obviously felt that the corpse was just a scapegoat, and the real assassin was someone else.

How could a person with such courage and martial arts who could single-handedly break into another courtyard and assassinate distinguished guests die so easily.

In his mind, there was another candidate whom he doubted.

He gritted his teeth: "It's okay if you don't say it, anyway, you always protect him. Where is Jiang Beiyao, you call him out to confront me."

Zhuang Linglie really suspected Jiang Beiyao.

Gu Qingye was in a cold sweat. Once Jiang Beiyao was confirmed to be an assassin, Jiang Beiyan would never let him go.

Speaking of which, Jiang Beiyan is also a hard-fated man. He was stabbed in the chest with such a big skeleton, but he is still alive.

"He's not here, he's gone out. Come back next time."

But Zhuang Linglie sat down on the stool and said, "I'll just sit here and wait. He can't keep coming back. When he comes back, call me again."

"You" Zhuang Linglie is really determined, and you can't even drive him away.

Zhuang Linglie was so stubborn that even eight horses couldn't pull him back.

Gu Qingye was very anxious. She sat face to face with Zhuang Linglie and said: "Jiang Guo is now an alliance with us, and we still need their war horses. You and them are not enemies. Why do you have to find Jiang Beiyao to be unhappy?"

"Humph?"

"unhappy?"

"Gu Qingye, figure it out. If he is not an assassin, even if I try to trouble him, I have no chance. If he is an assassin, then I can't blame me."
