Forced to be a concubine? I turned around and married the scumbag's father.

It's quiet at night.

Two dark figures quietly approached Ya Yun Pavilion, crouched down in front of the main building, and remained motionless under the window.

After confirming that no one was around, one of them gently pushed open the window and nimbly flipped inside, while the other remained below the window.

The shadowy figure silently approached the bedside, holding its breath and observing the person on the bed by the moonlight.

Her head was covered by the blanket, but you could see that her breathing was even and steady.

The person reached under the pillow.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from under the covers, grabbed the person's wrist, the covers were pulled back, and the person on the bed jumped up.

"We've fallen for their trap! Run!"

The intruder cried out in alarm and drew his dagger, ready to stab the person on the bed.

She discovered Zhou Zhilan, who was pretending to be Gu Hua, on the bed, and Donghua appeared from behind the bed.

The two attacked the woman from both sides, and she was so entangled that she couldn't break free for a while.

Chi Yan and his men had already surrounded the courtyard.

But the person outside the window didn't run away on their own; instead, they jumped in to save the person.

The newcomer was swift and ruthless, his moves insidious and vicious. Zhou Zhilan and Donghua were clearly struggling.

Suddenly, a bright light illuminated the room.

Gu Hua appeared by the bedside holding a candle, quickly put it down, and drew her dagger, ready to pounce.

With the light, they could see that the people who came were a man and a woman.

The man was stunned when he saw Gu Hua. Gu Hua met his gaze and felt a chill run down her spine. Half of her face was covered, leaving only her eyes visible.

He is that young master!

Ignoring the danger, Gu Hua pointed at the man and shouted outside, "Chi Yan, grab him quickly! He's the young master of Yi Feng Hall!"

The moment the man met Gu Hua's gaze, a complex and bitter look filled his eyes. This look vanished instantly, and he turned and rushed out.

Ji Xuanyu didn't want to get entangled and was afraid of accidentally hurting Gu Hua, so he hurriedly said, "Retreat quickly."

The two of them rushed out the door together.

At the same time, Chi Yan and two other guards rushed over and fought with Ji Xuanyu.

Ji Xuanyu and his men rushed in to provide backup, engaging in a fierce battle with the guards who followed them in.

Someone threw down a rope ladder from the high wall, and the masked woman rushed towards the wall: "Quick, throw the poison bomb!"

"No!" Ji Xuanyu shouted.

Southern Xinjiang is skilled in drug production.

The poison bombs are their secret weapons from the southern border region. Once lit, the billowing toxic smoke can incapacitate everyone in the area.

Moreover, it is extremely poisonous, and only a person with a sound system can concoct an antidote.

Gu Hua is right here; he can't accidentally hurt her.

Zhou Zhilan shouted, "Don't even think about escaping!"

He lunged at the woman and clung to her tightly.

During a lull in the fight, Ji Xuanyu raised his hand and shot a hidden arrow at Zhou Zhilan. Zhou Zhilan dodged it by tilting her head, giving the masked woman a chance to break free.

More and more people poured into the Yongguo Duke's mansion, and the small courtyard descended into chaos.

Gu Hua chased after them, shouting, "Don't let them get away!"

Upon hearing this, the masked woman glared at Gu Hua.

The young master disregarded their lives for her sake, forbidding the use of poison bullets. It was this slut who seduced the young master and even tried to kill him!

She gritted her teeth, suddenly turned around, and lunged at Gu Hua viciously, cursing, "You bitch! You ruined us!"

Gu Hua hurriedly retreated, raising her dagger in preparation for defense.

Zhou Zhilan hurriedly chased after her, but the masked woman was closest to Gu Hua, and it looked like the dagger in the woman's hand was about to stab Gu Hua.

In a moment of desperation, the masked man raised his hidden dart and shot it at the masked woman, hitting her right in the back.

The woman groaned and fell to the ground, turning her head to look at Ji Xuanyu, her eyes filled with sorrow and grief.

She screamed at Ji Xuanyu, "Go! Go now! Don't worry about me!"

With a determined heart, Ji Xuanyu leaped onto the wall.

His men also fled.

Chi Yan and his group immediately gave chase.

Zhou Zhilan stepped forward, stepped on the woman with one foot, and ripped off her face mask with the other.

"It really is you, Aunt Yao."

Yao Yao sneered, a slight curl at the corner of her mouth.

"Be careful, she might commit suicide!" Gu Hua exclaimed.

Zhou Zhilan was prepared. She flipped the dagger in her hand and thrust it into her mouth like lightning, clamping it down on her jaw so that she couldn't bite through the poison in her mouth.

Gu Hua approached: "Yaoyao, you are actually a spy from the Southern Frontier."

Yao Yao glared at her fiercely: "Did you set this up?"

Gu Hua nodded: "Yes. How could military reports from the front lines have been delivered to the Duke's mansion? And why would I be allowed to keep them? It's just that you guys are stupid."

Yao Yao suddenly burst into laughter: "Gu Hua, don't be so smug. You'll regret it if the young master gets caught!"

Gu Hua was surprised: "I'm so glad I didn't even have time to regret it. With you all here in Bianjing, the Yongguo Duke's Association will be uneasy, and the Mu family army will be uneasy. Only by wiping you all out can Bianjing be at peace."

Yao Yao started coughing as she laughed, and black blood flowed from her mouth.

Gu Hua was shocked: "The hidden arrow is poisoned! Quickly call the physician, hurry!"

Donghua quickly went to find someone.

Yao Yao looked at the black blood on the ground, her heart aching terribly.

The young master actually had the heart to shoot a poisoned arrow at her for her sake.

She stayed with him for three whole years. Even if there was no romantic love, there must have been familial affection, right?

For him, she forced herself into prostitution, dealing with those sleazy men and stealing intelligence.

She seduced Mu An for his sake, infiltrated the Yongguo Duke's territory, and spent her days facing that disgusting bastard Mu An.

In the end, all her efforts for him were not as great as the one in his heart.

Yao Yao laughed miserably: "It's no use, there's no cure for the poison in the Southern Frontier."

She looked up at the moon and said, "Brother Yu, look at your beloved. She doesn't have you in her eyes, and she doesn't have you in her heart. You've suffered for her for three years. Was it worth it?"

Gu Hua: "Brother Yu? The young master of Yifeng Hall is your cousin, the musician Wuyuan, the one named Yan Yu, right?"

Yao Yao clutched her aching chest, her phoenix eyes filled with venom and ice.

"Yan Yu? Wu Yuan? Brother Yu? Gu Hua, you didn't recognize him at all? It's pitiful that he's been longing for you for three whole years. For you, he's lived a life worse than a ghost! For you, he risked everything to come to Bianjing! For you, he willingly became the lowest of concubines! He eliminated the Pei family for you, but you destroyed his plans with your own hands. He eliminated Gu Wanru for you, and you think he's dirty and doubt his motives!"

Yao Yao seemed to have gone mad, laughing loudly: "Brother Yu, aren't you ridiculous? You said she was your childhood sweetheart, but she plotted to kill you!"

Childhood sweetheart?

Gu Hua froze, unable to believe it, her voice trembling, "Should I...recognize him? Who is he?"

Upon hearing the question, Gu Hua felt as if struck by lightning, her entire body instantly stiffening.

Could it be... Brother Ji, Ji Xuanyu?

The ruthless spy chief in southern Xinjiang is Brother Ji!

It was Brother Ji who ordered his men to kidnap her and humiliate her!

Gu Hua's mind went blank, her vision went black, and she swayed. Zhou Zhilan quickly caught her.

“Sister Hua”.

When the royal physician arrived, Zhou Zhilan quickly called out, "Come and see Sister Hua!"

Gu Hua suddenly opened her eyes, her trembling finger pointing at Yao Yao: "Save her, you must save her!"

The physician rushed over with his medicine box, and Yao Yao spat out a mouthful of black blood, her body going limp as she collapsed to the ground.

"Hua'er, are you alright?"

The old lady arrived with her entourage.

Seeing Gu Hua nestled listlessly in Zhou Zhilan's arms, the old lady became anxious.

"What happened? Are you injured?"

Zhou Zhilan sensed that things were complicated, so she didn't say much, only that she wasn't hurt and was probably just frightened.

Everything tonight was planned by the old lady and Gu Hua; they wanted to catch the spies from the Duke of Yong's mansion.

Gu Hua suspected that Yao Yao was not simple.

As night fell, Yao Yao suddenly arrived. There were no sleeping pills or poisons in the food, but she carried sleeping pills on her person.

As she walked through Gu Hua's room, she secretly sprinkled the sleeping potion from under her skirt into the room.

She casually patted Donghua and Dongqing, and patted the other maids as she walked out the door.

As soon as she left, they changed their clothes and cleaned the floor. After the physician came in and confirmed that everything was alright, they waited for her to come to them.
