After killing Prince Xinhai, Gucheng wiped his knife clean and walked up to Gufeng, coldly saying, âSeventh Miss is protecting you, otherwise, youâd undoubtedly be dead.â
âGucheng, why are you being so fierce to little Gufeng?â
A silver bell-like laughter came.
Gu Ying walked over with a smile, her arms crossed, saying, âAlthough he does deserve to die, Gufeng was merely following Seventh Missâs orders this timeâ¦You canât blame him entirely. Since Seventh Miss is protecting him, you should leave it be. Otherwise, she might not let you off so easily.â
âClear the scene.â
Gucheng stood up and coldly left the two words before leaping away.
Gu Ying said, âHey, donât talk to me in a commanding tone!â
Gucheng had already disappeared.
Gu Ying stretched out her clean, white, and slender jade hand and sighed, âI really donât like to clean up dirty things. Iâll have to take a bath in sheepâs milk after this, which is so expensive.â

Thinking about her not-so-rich wallet, she sighed again and resigned herself to the task at hand.
Gufeng stood up, wiping the blood from his face, and said, âDidnât Seventh Miss give everyone a big bonus for the New Year? Didnât you receive it?â
âI did. But what do you know about the cost of maintaining a womanâs beauty?â
Gu Ying pouted, âGufeng, you truly deserve to be the most useless waste among us. Now that Seventh Miss is injured, we are all going to be punished because of you.â
âDonât worry, Iâll take the initiative to apologize to the general.â
With a hurt shoulder, Gufeng slowly left.
â¦
The news of Jiang Ning being captured only spread within a small circle.
Of course, this was under Li Hongyuanâs deliberate concealment.
Since the Emperor was in poor health and now infatuated with Concubine Ya, Li Hongyuan almost controlled most of the Imperial Palace. It was quite easy for him to conceal a piece of news.
Gu Ying disposed of Prince Xinhai and his guardsâ bodies, as well as their horses and carriages, leaving no trace behind.
It was as if they had never appeared in this world.
No one would doubt her professionalism.
Gu Ying sent a letter to the East Palace and then returned to the Shadow Guardâs residence to report the news to Jiang Ruobai and Jiang Mubai.
âLittle Seven is injured?â Prime Minister Jiang, who always maintained his composure, stood up anxiously upon hearing that his daughter was injured.
Jiang Mubai frowned: âWasnât Gufeng with her?â
âYes, Gufeng was also injured.â
Gu Ying turns around and sees Gufeng limping in. At this moment, Gufeng was still wearing the court ladyâs dress.
He knelt in front of Jiang Mubai and said in a low voice, âIâve returned to take my punishment.â
Jiang Mubai frowned, âGo get your own punishment. Where is Gucheng?â
âGucheng went back to the palace with Seventh Miss.â
âThis Guchengâ¦â
âBig brother, if you want to punish Gucheng, Little Seven might not be able to accept that.â Jiang Ruobai reminded his brother, âJust let it go and punish Gufeng only.â
âAlright, all of you leave.â
Jiang Mubai waved his hand. When there were only the two brothers left in the room, he began to speak, âIt seems that war with Silla is inevitable now.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Ruobai smiled, âHavenât you always been looking forward to this day?â
âIâm not willing to go and fight in person, itâs rather tiring.â
âThen send someone else.â
âIt seems there is someone you already have in mind?â Jiang Mubai looked at his younger brother.
âDoesnât the general have one as well?â
âWhy donât we write them down at the same time?â
The two brothers dipped their fingers in tea and wrote a character on the table.
