Quick Wear: Saving the Heroine Isn’t Too Easy!

"Father, please calm down. I don't know why the envoy of Chu died beside me."

The next day in the court, the fifth prince Xiao Ren knelt on the ground. When he woke up, he found himself in the court, and his father's anger was directed at him.

"You don't know! Then how do you explain it?"

The emperor was very angry. Last night, the princess of Chu suddenly recovered from her illness. Despite her weak body, she reported that the envoy of Chu was missing. He sent the royal secret guards to look for him, but they found the bodies of a group of Chu secret guards and the fifth prince's secret guards. The envoy of Chu was also among the bodies. Only the fifth prince, who was lying next to them and snoring, was alive.

"My son, my son..."

Xiao Ren didn't know how to explain, so he said that he had teamed up with the State of Chu to kidnap Wen Ning, but was eventually killed by Gu Xici. His father would kill him, really kill him.

"Hey, why didn't Fifth Brother say anything? Let me guess. Fifth Brother must have a conflict with the Chu envoy, and then they agreed on a place to duel. That's why the ground is full of Fifth Brother's guards and the Chu envoy's guards. It's impossible that you and the Chu envoy are plotting something with so many secret guards."

Lao Liu expressed his conjecture in the court.

"you!"

Xiao Ren looked at the Sixth Prince and wanted to get up and beat him up. Look at what kind of speech the Sixth Prince made. What kind of speech the Sixth Prince made. It was so cruel. Did he dare to admit that he was cooperating with the envoy of Chu?

"Your Majesty, we have traveled thousands of miles from Chu to Zhou and have been staying quietly at the post station. It is impossible for us to conspire with the Fifth Prince."

Princess Chu Yu of the Chu State said to the emperor sitting on the dragon throne that the Chu envoy had died and she was now the one with the most say in the Chu envoy team.

She also couldn't admit that the Chu envoy and the fifth prince were in a cooperative relationship, and she also knew that the Chu envoy was most likely killed by Gu Xici. But she didn't dare to offend Gu Xici, after all, she was begged for mercy by Gu Xici yesterday.

After Gu Xici left yesterday, she knew that the plan of the Chu envoy would fail, and even the secret of cooperation with the fifth prince would be known to Emperor Zhou.

She had no choice but to listen to Gu Xici's words before he left and use strong drugs to treat the disease. Fortunately, she succeeded.

Afterwards, he went to meet Emperor Zhou despite his weak body.

The Chu envoy disappeared.

"Pei Qing (the Chu envoy) died just like that. I hope the Emperor of Zhou can give us an explanation."

Chu Yu looked at Emperor Zhou with grief, as if the death of the Chu envoy had dealt her a heavy blow.

"Don't worry, I will give you an explanation."

The emperor had a headache. Not long ago, Gu Xici was assassinated, and now the envoy from Chu State was there again. All of them were related to the rebellious fifth prince.

He could still help Xiao Ren conceal the assassination of Gu Xici, but the evidence of the Chu envoy's crime was there, what could he do?

"Rebellious son, what else do you have to explain?"

The emperor looked at the fifth prince. He must give an explanation to the State of Chu today. An envoy of the State of Chu died in the capital of the State of Zhou, with a prince of Zhou next to him. How could this be possible?

"I am definitely not the murderer of the Chu envoy. It was Gu Xici. Yes, it was Gu Xici. Only Gu Xici could have killed the Chu envoy under the protection of so many guards."

Xiao Ren seemed to have grasped the key point and directly pointed out Gu Xici.

"Ah? I haven't offended the Fifth Prince, have I? I was patrolling the streets yesterday, and the people around me can all testify for me. I didn't have time at all."

Gu Xici pretended to be surprised, and then told the truth. After all, he ran around the streets yesterday to find Wen Ning, and even ran to the Fifth Prince's Mansion to save someone.

"At night, it's night. You're not always patrolling the streets at night. You have time to commit crimes."

Xiao Ren didn't know that Gu Xici had sneaked into the mansion and knew his secret of storing weapons and imprisoning women.

"Of course you should go home and rest at night. You're tired all day, and if you don't rest at night, do you think I'm the kind of monster who digs out a girl's heart in the middle of the night?"

Gu Xici made a heart-digging gesture as he spoke, and the vivid metaphor made the Sixth Prince and the ministers with low sense of humor laugh.

"And if I was the one who killed the Chu envoy, then what were the Fifth Prince and the Chu envoy doing together? Could it be..."

Gu Xici stopped talking halfway, leaving people with endless imagination.

"Stop talking nonsense and trying to shift the blame of your crime onto General Gu. Come, take the fifth prince back to his house, strip him of his princely status and demote him to a commoner. He is not allowed to leave the house without an imperial decree. Are you satisfied with this outcome?"

The emperor ordered the fifth prince to be taken away and then turned to ask the Princess of Chu.

"Emperor Zhou is wise. Chu Yu is convinced by this result."

The Princess of Chu presented a great gift to the Emperor of Zhou, and the matter ended abruptly.

"Gu Xici! You and I are irreconcilable. If it weren't for saving you, I would not have offended Gu Xici. How dare you betray me and report it to my father."

"You all deserve to die, haha, you all have to die for me."

Xiao Ren was imprisoned in his own mansion and went mad. His face was ferocious and he was no longer the gentle and elegant guy he used to be.

"Hahaha, you are all waiting for my revenge."

Xiao Ren thought of some bad idea and started laughing.

The one hundred thousand black-armored soldiers all have the surname Gu!

This nursery rhyme spread throughout the streets of the capital, and children were singing it in every high street and alley.

Gu Xici looked at the secret letter the Sixth Prince gave her, which talked about this matter.

Gu Xici burned the secret letter, his face thoughtful. The emperor was suspicious to begin with, and now that this matter was before him, how would the emperor deal with the Gu family?

The Fifth Prince’s plan was good. It seemed that he had not learned his lesson yet. After this matter was resolved, he would sneak into the Fifth Prince’s mansion again and take away everything in his treasure house.

"Aci, why are you frowning?"

Wen Ning became much more lively after that night. He had passed the life-and-death crisis and now enjoys eating everything. Although he used to eat a lot, his mentality is different now.

"Xiao Ren has already started a conspiracy against me."

Gu Xici said to Wen Ning.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Wen Ning patted Gu Xici's shoulder. Was it finally his turn to protect Ah Ci?

"Oh, I want to be quiet."

Gu Xici didn't care about Wen Ning's words. How could Wen Ning protect her? Was it by relying on her to eat and drink all day?

"Who is Jingjing?"

Wen Ning approached Gu Xici and asked in a pretended angry tone.

"I'm very upset now and need to be alone."

Gu Xici said firmly.

"Oh. Wait, you haven't told me who Jingjing is."

Wen Ning continued to play dumb.

After Wen Ning's interruption, Gu Xici was indeed no longer worried about the Fifth Prince, but chased after Wen Ning, ready to teach her a lesson.

"I was wrong. I will dare to do it again next time."

Wen Ning hid and ran, not thinking at all about the consequences of being caught by Gu Xici.

"Don't run if you can."

"If you have the guts, don't chase me."

"If you have the guts, stop."

"If you have the guts, stop first."

"Run if you can."

"I'm incompetent, Ah Ci, Ah Ci, please let me go. I really, really know I was wrong, I will pay attention next time."

After being caught by Gu Xici, Wen Ning immediately admitted his mistake and promised to be more careful next time so as not to be easily caught by Gu Xici again.

"Humph, women's mouths are full of lies. Accept the punishment from Master Gu."

Gu Xici took Wen Ning's hand and touched the spider next to him that was thinking about the route. Wen Ning watched his hand getting closer and closer to the spider.

"Help!"

Maybe spiders are more scary than Wen Ning.
