Chapter 344 It’s hard to say

There were no other assassins or killers blocking their way.

At this moment, Gu Junqing's right arm was injured and poisoned, and no one knew when the poison would take effect. Everyone was worried throughout the day, fearing that some accident would occur and delay Gu Junqing's detoxification time.

However, compared to these guards and the prison guards who were always on tenterhooks, Gu Junqing's expression was much more relaxed than theirs. He didn't even show any impatience or worry. Instead, he would occasionally joke with the silent Prince Qing, as if deliberately making him angry would make the general very happy.

Especially after I teased Prince Qing to the point of being unable to bear it any longer and told him some things about the imperial mausoleum, I looked even happier. This made everyone around me know that Gu Junqing was trying to secretly get some information from Prince Qing.

The people around him could react, so naturally Prince Qing could too. So when they arrived at the suburbs of the capital, no matter what Gu Junqing said, even if he made his forehead twitch, he was still unwilling to say a word.

Gu Junqing knew that he had deceived people too badly yesterday, so he didn't want to continue his one-man show. He turned around and looked outside the carriage.

Finally back to Beijing.

Gu Junqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Then he felt the wound on his right arm, which was aching slightly, but sometimes he felt nothing at all, as if he had lost the sensation in his right arm. This made Gu Junqing a little upset.

But she always controlled her expression very well, so no one noticed that the person they had been worried about for a day was not as happy as they thought. Their return to the capital did not alarm anyone this time. After all, yesterday, when Gu Junqing and others were resting, they sent someone to the capital first, and then told the emperor that Gu Junqing was poisoned, and told him not to send anyone to greet them outside, and let them come back in a low-key manner.

After all, if other people found out that Gu Junqing was poisoned, then she would definitely cause a lot more trouble than before in the next few days.

The biggest worry is that it is impossible to guard against it.

What's more, they don't know what kind of poison Gu Junqing has been poisoned with or when it will take effect. They are completely in the dark. Even though they are anxious, they have no other ideas and can only speed up their return to the capital.

While Gu Junqing and others were in a hurry to get on the road, Ming Wei, the prison warden who had rushed back to the capital to deliver the message earlier than them, felt the tense and depressing atmosphere around him.

He lowered his head, and his originally expressionless face now looked completely pale. He was almost suppressed by the current atmosphere and was about to go berserk.

But he couldn't leave, because he felt that the emperor standing at the top seemed to be about to lose his temper just like him.

Seeing his master so angry, he had no other thoughts in his mind and was only thinking about how to make the emperor calm down.

So he was just about to tell the emperor that General Gu was fine now, and would be able to arrive tomorrow, and that the poison seemed to be a chronic one and would not take effect so quickly, so there was still hope. However, before he could say anything, he thought about it carefully and found something wrong with what he said, so he raised his eyes slightly and wanted to secretly observe the emperor's expression at the moment.

However, in the end, he was silenced by the emperor's light words, "You can leave now."

He withdrew as ordered.

However, before he had time to completely leave the Qinzheng Hall, he could hear the sound of a vase breaking from the hall in the distance.

What is the emperor angry about? Is he unhappy because all the people sent by the prison warden to protect General Gu died, or is he unhappy because General Gu was poisoned?

His body trembled subconsciously, and he even wanted to turn his head to take a look. However, when he met Li Yuan's half-smile at the side, he paused, and finally did not have the courage to try to turn his head away.

But he quickened his pace to leave here, thinking that it would be better for him to return to the prison as soon as possible.

Gu Junqing and others who were on their way had no idea what was going on with the emperor.

The group finally rushed back to the main street of the capital. The hundreds of people who had followed them back were too numerous. If they followed them through the main street of the capital, it would definitely attract the attention of the people or cause panic among the people. So they consciously took another road back to the palace. Gu Junqing hadn't seen the main street of the capital for some time, so she quietly lifted a little curtain from the small window of the carriage, wanting to see the scenery outside from inside. However, after lifting half of the curtain, she didn't see any street vendors. Instead, they saw a young man riding a horse, guarding around her carriage. It seemed that he had known that she would lift the curtain at this time, so he approached her without any courtesy.

A gentle and handsome face enlarged in front of her eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes full of gentle smiles, but the emotions in his eyes were somewhat complicated and even a little unhappy, especially because he subconsciously glanced in the direction of her right arm just now, but was blocked by the curtain on the other side, so he didn't see anything.

He glanced away with some disappointment and began to stare into her eyes, as if he wanted to see something in her eyes.

Seeing Ji Rang's expression, Gu Junqing almost guessed that he already knew that he was poisoned. Seeing that he was still looking at him, Gu Junqing pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly. He was no longer as lazy as he was a few days ago, and his whole body became visibly sluggish.

Even though Gu Junqing wanted to express her indifference and omnipotence, it was not difficult to see from her pale face and the dark circles under her eyes that she had not been having a good time these days.

Ji Rang seemed to want to say something to Gu Junqing, but seeing how tired she looked, he couldn't bear to disturb her any further. Especially after hearing her tell him that she wanted to take a nap, Ji Rang shut up and had no intention of speaking again.

Seeing this, Gu Junqing nodded and immediately lowered the curtain.

What she said just now was not just to stop Ji Rang from talking. She originally lifted the curtain just to take a look and take a short rest after that, so as to avoid being discovered by the emperor when they went to the palace later. Then he would bring up this matter, just like Qing He and the others. This made Gu Junqing a little bit unbearable. She was most afraid that Qing He and the others would look at her sadly and ask her why she didn't take good care of herself.
