Chapter 12 … Forever, forever By no lance at her
During the Spring Welco Jian paid close attention to the activities of the second and third princes the entire time The two of them really were on bad terms The second and fourth princes chatted with s over at the third prince with disdain The third prince also had an unsightly expression as he bowed his head to eat, occasionally speaking a feords to the people beside him
Accordingly, Gu Hong Jian watched them the entire tilance at Zuo Ning Yan
Zuo Ning Yan was indeed extre breeze just like the several princesses, Zuo Ning Yan stood out thedress Every frown and every smile could all be painted and immortalized
Gu Hong Jian watched as Zuo Ning Yan sers as spotlessly white as scallions
Gu Hong Jian glanced at her fingers…
She bowed her head to exa and practiced htly
Gu Hong Jian somewhat embarrassedly drew her hands back into her sleeves
Lin Si Ze was co, he consulted, as usual, about theJian The two finally resolved to act in two days According to the second prince’s habits, he stealthily sneaked out of the palace and returned later that day During those nights, because he didn’t want to be discovered, the second prince was surrounded by fewer Iood time to act
And the one to do so…was Gu Hong Jian
Lin Si Ze was a bit anxious “Can you do it?”
Gu Hong Jian split the firewood in half with her bare hands Light on her feet, she vaulted onto the eaves of the palace and looked down on him as she remarked, “What do you think?”
Lin Si Ze said, “…I worry not about your martial arts, but rather your enuinely assassinated someone before”
“…” Gu Hong Jian herself was stunned Soon after, she exclaimed, “That’s of no importance! This matter will always have a first tier? There should be no problems…”
Lin Si Ze reached out with one hand to her “Come down”
Gu Hong Jian smoothly descended serenely, and Lin Si Ze softly patted her head “…It’s hard on you”
Gu Hong Jian realized at this ti as tall as she was
This guy, how could he grow so quickly…abominable
Gu Hong Jian touched her head, pondering this
Two days passed in the blink of an eye Gu Hong Jian had gone and prepared to assassinate the second prince by the busy Vermilion Bird Gate on her lonesome many times
The i, one could neither enter nor exit the palace gates Vermillion Bird Gate was rather special, however, as a waist ht Therefore, the assassination must occur here
On that sa Jian dressed in dark clothes in preparation, a black clothher face She hid on the eaves above Verh
Truthfully, Lin Si Ze was extre Jian argued, “You will only hold things up and perhaps expose yourself,”him turn back
The second prince’s palanquin then slowly entered Gu Hong Jian tailed it, leaping above on the eaves
The second prince was very careless Probably afraid about too httiuard by his side After the carriage travelled by an uner hesitated and tackled the Iuard si Jian had used a scabbard to chop at his neck At once, he fell unconscious The porters, who had no uard to be dead and i in all directions Gu Hong Jian paid no attention to this and immediately lifted the curtains of the palanquin
Sitting inside was the second prince, a frenetic expression on his face It seemed that he had yet to understand what had happened
Catching sight of abefore roaring all helter-skelter, “Who are you?! Which faction do you come from?! What do you want to do?! Somebody ah——ah…”
The second prince’s voice died off all of a sudden—because Gu Hong Jian’s blade had already streaked across his neck ruthlessly
Blood splattered Gu Hong Jian slightly tilted her body to the side to avoid the gush of blood She took off her belt, which was actually an unusual belt due to the presence of a weight, and twisted it around the handle of the blade Using her strength, she easily tossed it into the nearby Xia He pond Once the blade was discarded, she shed her black coat and e of an ordinary little palace maidShe therefore prepared to leave—only, she had to take extreuards until she returned to Bai Fu Palace safely
Within Bai Fu Palace, Lin Si Ze had not yet gone to sleep He sat upright in the inner hall, and upon seeing Gu Hong Jian return, he rose and took two steps forward, saying, “Are you alright?”
His first reaction was not to ask, ‘Did you succeed?’ Instead, he had asked, ‘Are you alright?’ This significantly astonished Gu Hong Jian
Originally, Gu Hong Jian was very calardless of when she had been masked, when she had actually performed the assassination, or when she had disposed the evidence afterwards, she had been expressionless Herin the heaven and earth but the co Lin Si Ze and hearing hi Jian suddenly relaxed
She pursed her lips and lightly shook her head “It’s nothing…”
After she said this, however, tears began falling Her body trembled minutely
