Chapter 187 pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger
...
It will take two days to recover Bai Ling's body.
It was also when the heavy rain had just stopped.
Bai Jue personally brought Bai Ling's body back, but the body was beyond recognition. Only one birthmark on the left arm can prove that it was Bai Ling's original body.
The emperor asked the whole story angrily.
Bai Jue just said that he found his elder brother's body on the bank of the river below the cliff. In addition, there was a horse, so there was no trace of coming and going.
He neither saw the second prince nor other people, just as Bai Ling ran away by himself.
Dali Temple was in a stalemate. I originally thought that at least one living person could be recovered. A corpse was soaked in water. Nothing could be found. There was no way to prove anything to the second prince who is now in prison.
Bai Jue stayed in the palace for a long time before the emperor let him go. Because it was the corpse he brought back, the possibility of Bai Jue taking action was basically eliminated.
The emperor and Zhuque Tianshi also discussed for a long time. It is estimated that Bai Ling's body will be used properly in the next few days so that he will not anger the heavens.
Now, the second prince is the most suspected.
In the middle of the night, Gu Wanqing leaned alone against the corner of the back door of the Hou Mansion without even mentioning the lantern.
It took a long time to come back with Chu Hao.
"Wanqing?" Bai Jue thought it was a dazzling sight for him.
Gu Wanqing rubbed her sleepy eyes, "It's me. I don't know when you will be back, but I think I can wait for you from the back door."
"Master, I'll go to the gate first to see if the guards are lazy." Chu Hao walked away very consciously.
Bai Jue approached Gu Wanqing, frowned slightly, then lowered his head and pulled Gu Wanqing forward, his pace getting faster and faster.
Until he entered his room and closed the door, he hugged Gu Wanqing, and the two fell into deep kisses.
As the lips and teeth fusion were blending, Gu Wanqing felt Bai Jue's anxiety and uneasiness.
She escaped Bai Jue's arms and panted, "Is something wrong?"
Bai Jue shook his head, "It's not a good idea, but it's not a plan. The emperor believed me and the rest will be verified and investigated."
His face looked very bad, and he also had some stubble, looking very haggard.
After being interrogated by the emperor for a day, he had to face Bai Ling's affairs and conceal the prince's behavior. This was indeed a double torture of physical strength and mentality.
"How is Mr. Bai's injury?" Gu Wanqing asked.
"It's not a serious problem, I just hurt my arm, I'm afraid the emperor will see it."
"Then, will Mr. Bai tell you about the prince robbing Bai Ling?"
"Fifty percent will do it, 50 percent will not. I can't guess, and I don't want to ask."
Bai Jue grabbed Gu Wanqing, wrapped his hands around her waist, and buried his entire face on her warm waist and abdomen.
At that time, he would slowly vomit out in a tense breath.
"General, I'm very tired."
Gu Wanqing gently stroked his shoulder, "Well, I know."
Bai Jue chuckled and laughed at himself as if he was a little unreliable. He murmured, "It's better for us to elope. I resigned and we will go to the village outside the city to spend the rest of our lives."
Gu Wanqing laughed, "If you are serious, then I will suspect that it was an alien who took Bai Jue away."
"Who?"
"When I didn't say it." Gu Wanqing shrugged, then leaned over and held Bai Jue's face, and gently kissed him on his face.
"Bai Jue, you and I are destined to kill for the rest of my life. Isn't this the common ambition of you and me? Just do what you think is right and be ashamed of." Gu Wanqing smiled.
Bai Jue's eyes were as gentle as water. He grabbed her hand tightly, and his cold palm gradually warmed up, "It would be great if I had a general."
...
Only one candle was lit in the Hebei Palace.
Gu Xi came several times, but Rong He sat down next to the chessboard, his breathing was sometimes messy and sometimes stable. I don’t know if he was asleep or crying.
Under the dark candlelight, he was like a silent ghost.
It was not until he moved that Gu Xi put down the teacup in his hand, "Your Highness, are you okay?"
Rong He raised his body and scared Gu Xi the moment he raised his head.
This is like a life-seeking ghost!
His eyelids were red, his cheeks had deep tears, and his face was pale and terrifying.
Rong He sneered coldly, "Gu Xi, have you... seen Bai Ling's body today?"
Gu Xi's lips and teeth were trembling slightly, "No... No. But I heard that Bai Ling died on a horse and fell off the cliff. He was soaked in the river bank when the tide was rising, and his face was beyond recognition..."
"Yes, the death is very miserable..."
Rong He stared at the chessboard, his eyes sore, but he couldn't shed tears. He only felt that his eyes were burning and it was probably because his tears had dried up.
"Gu Xi, do you want to leave the palace?" Rong He suddenly asked gloomyly.
Gu Xi lowered her head, "I don't want to."
Rong He laughed twice and raised his hand like a skinny old man.
The injury to his right shoulder was still aching.
Suddenly, like a falcon, he suddenly tried his best to grab Gu Xi's jaw, "Gu Xi, is it very interesting to be by my side, right? But I am tired. You have no value to use. If you continue to stay, the entire hall will be filled with the smell of your breathing."
Gu Xi was thrown to the ground by him, and his eyes were full of disbelief, "What does the Prince's Highness... mean?"
Rong He picked up the cup of tea that Gu Xi made and sneered: "You are so smart, you didn't even see it. I have long discovered that you are Rong Jin's people. I have discovered it since we were caught in that cave."
After realizing it, Gu Xi patted the vomit on his knee and stood up, "You... were you deliberately showing fear of my injury in front of the second prince, so you took me into the palace?"
Rong He stared at her shocked and hideous expression, "As for the script, you want to act, I will accompany you. I want to see who is more outstanding in the play. But obviously you can't do it. You are full of loopholes and stay by my side just to revenge Gu Wanqing. He dragged me into the water and let me be your pawn. It's a pity. You gave your body and freedom, and in the end you can only use it by Rong Jin."
"No wonder the second prince was imprisoned! You knew it a long time ago. You deliberately told me the Southeast corner! You wanted to use me to knock the second prince down in the morning!"
Gu Xi suddenly realized that pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is the true face of this prince who looks like a fool!
Rong He pinched the lid of the teacup, scraped off the tea leaves beside the teacup, and smiled calmly, "Did you realize it? It's a bit late. You are much stupider than I imagined, and it's really not popular."
Suddenly, five or six masked men came in outside the door and surrounded Gu Xi.
Gu Xi said in horror: "What do you want to do?!..."
"Isn't it good to send you out of the palace and reunite with your family? This is the last kindness I have given to you. I have stayed in the palace for so long, and I have saved you. This time, you have to repay me well."
