Lu Tianyun was stunned.

"Why do you ask that, Your Highness?" He asked in confusion, "This person is a friend I met on the road... Didn't I tell you before? If it weren't for this person saving me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to reach Luoyang in a short time."

Qin Zhaoyue snorted and laughed: "It just so happened that he saved you, and just on the night of my wedding, when I was assassinated, he let you find that small courtyard?"

Lu Tianyun hadn't reacted yet. He just followed Qin Zhaoyue's words and fell into deep thought, but how could he explain all this?

"Who is that person?" Qin Zhaoyue asked again.

Lu Tianyun was stunned for a moment, and finally understood the meaning of Qin Zhaoyue's words.

His expression suddenly became panicked: "Your Highness! I really just met that person by coincidence. I didn't know him at all... People in the martial arts world always have their own secrets, so I didn't ask him. I also used a pseudonym to communicate with this person..."

Qin Zhaoyue said: "Fox fairy. You actually believe it?"

"...I was in a hurry to go to Luoyang to meet His Highness, so I didn't investigate further." Lu Tianyun said, "But according to this logic...this person does have some suspicious points..."

Seeing that he still refused to "confess", Qin Zhaoyue rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.

"For now, let's assume you don't know." He said, "Then I can tell you. This person's public identity is Gu Dashi. Even though 'Gu Dashi' has been dead for a long time, I still recognize that he is the impostor."

"Gu Dashi?" Lu Tianyun was completely confused. "Who is Gu Dashi?"

"You don't know?" Qin Zhaoyue sneered, "Gu Dashi... I thought he was just an impostor sent by some force. I tried to instigate him in many ways, even forged evidence, but Gu Xu still believed in him. Now it seems that this man is probably an ally of Gu Xu, and they know each other very well..."

He recalled the rumors that had been circulating in the capital, and suddenly he understood.

It seems that this is a plan to escape.

What about patricide, what about getting rid of the biggest worry in his heart... All of this is just a false illusion created to make him relax his vigilance and infiltrate the East Palace!

The blood in Qin Zhaoyue's body was rushing up.

His chest felt stuffy and painful. Although he thought he had figured out this series of extremely ingenious strategies, Qin Zhaoyue still felt his blood boiling and his brain was throbbing.

why?

Qin Zhaoyue just wanted to ask this.

Gu Dashi's family and Gu Xu only had such a short relationship! Gu Dashi still abused Gu Xu like that. For so many years, Gu Xu took revenge like this for those people who died early?

Qin Zhaoyue didn't understand.

No, now is not the time to think about that.

He suppressed the anger in his chest and looked at Lu Tianyun.

Lu Tianyun's face was full of disbelief.

"Your Highness! Those grasses..." He was exhausted and had no strength left. The wooden bowl, which was still warm, fell to the side.

Qin Zhaoyue struggled to get up.

This action caused his abdomen, which had not yet fully recovered, to feel an unbearable pain. He panted slightly, grabbed Lu Tianyun's collar, and pushed him against the mountain wall behind him.

His eyes were bloodshot.

"Lu Tianyun, you and I have been friends since childhood." Qin Zhaoyue gritted her teeth and said, "Why did you betray me?!"

There was shock, disappointment, and a variety of mixed emotions in Lu Tianyun's eyes. He finally gritted his teeth and said vaguely: "My subordinates... don't have it."

The herbs made him a little delirious.

"From the East Palace out of the city, there were several checkpoints, and you dragged me along without any harm, without alerting anyone." Qin Zhaoyue said, "There happened to be a stronghold of horses outside the city... All of this can be explained, and can be seen as you preparing for a rainy day... But are you that kind of person?"

Lu Tianyun is always a little rash, and Qin Zhaoyue doesn't believe that he would consider things so thoroughly.

"And you...your biggest mistake was not letting Gu Dashi show up!" Qin Zhaoyue almost yelled, "Gu Dashi, I would recognize him even if he turned into ash, or even if he had a thousand skins! You want to know what I have up my sleeve? Go ahead and guess!"

Lu Tianyun held Qin Zhaoyue's wrist tightly.

He said with difficulty: "I don't...know..."

He wanted to urge Qin Zhaoyue to give him the antidote.

He was a little confused, but he still understood the meaning of his words - this so-called fox fairy seemed to be on Gu Xu's side!

Your Highness will be in danger!

He didn't care about Qin Zhaoyue's doubts about him. He just felt that someone was approaching this area, and the so-called "fox fairy" and "Gu Dashi" seemed to be coming back.

Even if he is misunderstood by His Highness, even if he dies, he will kill this person first before he dies!

Lu Tianyun looked a little ferocious.

"Antid...the medicine! Be careful..."

His voice became weaker and weaker.

It's so cold. Lu Tianyun couldn't see clearly what was in front of him, and everything around him had turned dark. He barely moved his fingertips and felt something slippery on Qin Zhaoyue's wrist.

It's his blood.

The herbs paralyzed his whole body, and he didn't even feel when Qin Zhaoyue stabbed the dagger into his body.

Lu Tianyun's body could not lean against the mountain wall and he slowly fell down.

Qin Zhaoyue gasped and pulled the dagger out of the warm pool of blood.

He will not tolerate and no one will be able to betray him again.

……

The footsteps stopped.

The bag in Gu Yue's hand fell to the ground.

The bonfire was burning brightly, illuminating everything with great clarity. Lu Tianyun's body was almost soaked in blood, and it was probably too late to save him from such a pool of blood.

"...You..." Gu Yue was shocked by what he saw, "You killed him?"

Qin Zhaoyue was covered in blood and his expression was as cold as ice.

"Why, people like you would be sad over a traitor?" he sneered.

Gu Yue's throat choked.

It was not the first time he had come face to face with a corpse, but this time the shock he had felt was unprecedented.

He had no ill feelings towards Lu Tianyun.

In the "original text", this person is also a sunny and enthusiastic person, loyal and caring towards Gu Xu. Gu Yue even believes that he does not know about Qin Zhaoyue's plan to kill the whole family, because there is no shadow in this person's eyes, only purity.

And Qin Zhaoyue killed him!

"Qin Zhaoyue." He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you sick?! Why?!"

He wanted to walk to Lu Tianyun, but Qin Zhaoyue still had a blood-soaked dagger in his hand. Gu Yue didn't know what else this madman would do!

Qin Zhaoyue laughed hoarsely: "Not acting anymore? Gu Dashi, you finally stopped acting!"

"Why?!" Gu Yue wanted to cut open his head to see what was inside! "You know I'm Gu Dashi, but you still want to kill him. Aren't you afraid that I'll break your neck?"

"Don't think I don't know." Qin Zhaoyue laughed strangely, "You are in the same group. Aren't you?"

Gu Yue understood and was so angry that he laughed.

"So? Because you suspected we were in the same group, you just...just killed him?!"

How could Lu Tianyun allow himself to be bullied?

Gu Yue's gaze fell on the ground. The pot and the overturned wooden bowl explained everything.

At this moment, it was difficult for him to describe his feelings.
