Chapter 118 I am very curious, who are you?
It's him?
Gu Li?
The person I met by chance in Xuanwu Mountains last time?
Isn't he the Imperial Censor, holding great power? How could he be involved with Princess Yong?
And from hearing their conversation just now, it seems that these two people have an old relationship.
Tsk, Qiu Ning couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this royal family is really a mess.
By the way, does King Yong know that he is being cuckolded?
Perhaps the shock and confusion in Qiu Ning's eyes were too obvious, and Gu Li recognized Qiu Ning at a glance. She was the woman he had met in Wuxiang Mountain a few days ago.
He narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about how to solve the trouble in front of him.
At this time, Murong Zhi slowly stretched out her hand and took off a hairpin from her head.
No one knew what material the hairpin was made of. It didn't look like gold, nor did it look like jade. It had a metallic luster and shone coldly in the sun.
The important thing is that one end of this hairpin is very sharp.
Murong Zhi curled her lips, smiled, and said, "So it's from the prince's courtyard. Thank you for your hard work. Go and get busy. Don't keep the prince waiting anxiously."
When Qiu Ning heard that Murong Zhi not only did not cause her any trouble, but instead let her go, alarm bells suddenly went off in her heart.
But at this time he had no choice but to obey the order and take his leave.
However, just as Qiu Ning turned around, Murong Zhi suddenly moved. With lightning speed, she raised her hand holding the hairpin and stabbed Qiu Ning's back.
"hiss!"
Qiu Ning had been on guard against Murong Zhi's actions. The moment she raised her hand, he discovered the other party's intention from the shadow cast by the sun and quickly dodged.
When she looked up again, Murong Zhi's wrist had been caught by Gu Li. She said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so cruel to innocent people."
Murong Zhi didn't expect Gu Li to take action personally to save the maid in front of her. Her beautiful eyes widened.
"But aren't you worried that she'll leak our affairs?"
One is an important official of the court, and the other is a princess of the royal family. If outsiders knew about this scandal, Murong Zhi couldn't imagine what consequences they would face.
Therefore, the witness today must die, even if Gu Li regards him as cruel and vicious.
After Murong Zhi finished speaking, she tried to break free from her wrist and continued to stab towards Qiu Ning.
However, Qiu Ning had already reacted and dodged a few steps away, mockingly saying:
"So the Queen is also afraid. But even if I don't discover it today, the truth will eventually come out. Can the Queen really shut everyone up?"
"You..." Murong Zhi didn't expect that a little maid would be so arrogant and dare to speak like that in front of her.
However, this was not the end. Then Qiu Ning said:
"But I just heard clearly that this gentleman has clearly stated that he has no further ties with you, Your Majesty. From now on, we will forget each other and go our separate ways. It's you, Your Majesty, who has been pestering him, hasn't he? You even pretended to fall down and tried to rely on this gentleman.
Your Majesty, although this gentleman looks dignified and of extraordinary appearance, you are already his wife after all. How can you think of rekindling the old relationship and dragging this gentleman into the fire pit?
"I am a humble servant, and my words carry little weight. Even if I say something carelessly, as long as Your Majesty behaves properly, no one will believe it. I could even be beheaded for spreading rumors and slandering others. But Your Majesty, it's different. If the person you encountered here today was not me, but a court official, would you kill him on the spot?"
Qiu Ning finished speaking in one breath, and even looked at Gu Li intentionally and asked:
"Sir, do you agree?"
After hearing Qiu Ning's words, Gu Li was also stunned at first, secretly thinking how bold this woman was.
But then she quickly realized that Qiu Ning wanted to use his power to stop Murong Zhi from attacking her.
I have to say, this woman is really courageous and smart.
It's kind of interesting, isn't it?
Anyway, he also wanted to cut ties with Murong Zhi, so the process was unimportant. As long as he could achieve his goal, that was all.
So, under Murong Zhi's nervous gaze, Gu Li slowly raised the corners of his mouth and said, "She is right. Your Majesty and I are indeed not of the same kind. From now on, it is best for us to forget each other."
Afterwards, he bowed again and said, "It's getting late, and I have things to do. I will leave you now."
Naturally, Qiu Ning followed closely.
Murong Zhi was furious. She didn't expect that Gu Li would agree with a maid in person just to get rid of her.
How embarrassing for her?
For a moment, her usually dignified and proper face was distorted for a moment.
Not long after Gu Li and Qiu Ning left, there was a sudden commotion in the backyard.
Immediately afterwards, servants began running around, telling each other, "Oh no! There's a fire! The woodshed is on fire!"
The news soon spread to the front yard, and the guests were in chaos when they saw the thick smoke billowing out of the backyard of the palace.
No one even bothered to eat. They threw down their chopsticks and turned around to leave Prince Yong's Mansion.
Qiu Ning and Gu Li took advantage of the chaos to leave the palace and headed to a deserted place.
"Phew! That was a close call!"
Qiu Ning took off her maid's clothes, looked in the direction of the palace, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Li also stood aside and saw that after Qiu Ning took off her coat, she was only wearing a thin skirt. Summer clothes are already thin, and at this moment, her figure is even more slender and graceful.
Gu Li couldn't help but look dark, and quickly glanced away.
"You have thoroughly offended the princess this time. Have you thought about what to do next?"
Murong Zhi is no longer the naive girl she used to be, but the mistress who is in charge of the entire backyard of the palace.
From the moment she wanted to take Qiu Ning's life on the spot, Gu Li knew that Murong Zhi had changed.
Qiu Ning's actions today were undoubtedly a challenge to Murong Zhi's authority. Even if she managed to get through this hurdle for the time being, Murong Zhi would definitely find a way to deal with Qiu Ning next.
When Qiu Ning thought of this, her brows furrowed and her face fell.
"If I hadn't said that just now, I would have become a corpse by now."
Gu Li couldn't help but nodded, he agreed with this.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Gu Li glanced towards the backyard of the palace and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the fire today was probably your doing, right? I'm curious, who are you?"
