Chapter 585 The way Ah Yue showed her claws was equally alluring.
It must be said that when it comes to shamelessness, Prince Jing is the only one who can match him.
For example, killing someone's legitimate daughter and then trying to use the illegitimate daughter to build connections—their ambition is even more unrealistic than Chang'e's!
"Sir, your insight is truly remarkable, I admire you!" Prince Sheng nodded.
Meanwhile, the Jing'an Marquis's residence was also embroiled in a heated argument.
"You unfilial daughter! You were the one who said that only if your father went in person would those people be convinced, but look at you now! You've been ambushed and are lying in bed like a living dead, are you satisfied now!"
The one who uttered the curses was Lady Jing'an, while the one being cursed was none other than Zhao Lingyun's elder sister, Princess Zhao of Ying.
Although she was unaware of the Third Prince's overall plan, she was the one who kept running back and forth between the Marquis of Jing'an's residence and the other side.
The task of eliminating the old Duke Gu of the Zhenguo Mansion was entrusted to my father by the Princess Consort of Ying.
Although he seriously injured the old Duke Gu, my father was also ambushed a couple of days ago.
This was most likely the work of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, but she couldn't understand how the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion knew that they had hired people from the Su Shou Alliance to do it.
But it was too late. Not only had his father been hit by an arrow and was seriously injured, but he was also in a deep sleep!
The imperial physicians tried various methods but couldn't wake him up, which was quite strange!
"What's the use of Mother criticizing me now? Weren't these things agreed upon by Father and the King of England long ago?"
Seeing her mother's eyes now piercing like knives, the Princess of England was also furious!
They were happy when they were talking about vying for that position and promising benefits, so why is it all my fault now that things have gone wrong?!
Now that the King of Ying has ascended the throne, is she the one enjoying all the benefits of the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion?
Wouldn't the whole family benefit from this?
"You unfilial daughter! You ingrate!"
Lady Jing'an Marquis's voice was hoarse and strained.
Prince Li's Palace.
In Gu Qingyue's space.
The two lay lazily on the bed. Gu Qingyue was held in Mu Yun Chu's arms, leaning against him. Her black hair was disheveled, and the dress she had just worn was gone again.
"What's going on with this space of mine? How did you manage to get in by yourself?"
Gu Qingyue was completely baffled and could only guess that the space had taken a liking to Mu Yun Chu and was cheating for him.
"I can't get in by myself; I have to carry Ah Yue in with me!"
"Tch! Sweet talker!" Gu Qingyue's small fist pressed against his chin. "Quickly tell me, what did you do that allowed you to come in on your own?"
Mu Yun Chu sighed helplessly, wrapped Gu Qing Yue's small hand in his large palm, squeezed it, and kissed it.
"I don't know either. Ever since I suddenly came in last time, I've noticed that as soon as I'm holding Ah Yue and thinking about the space, I come in!"
He genuinely didn't know!
Gu Qingyue wanted to facepalm. Did she think anyone could just come into her space and hug her?
What if bad guys find out?
She suddenly sat up in surprise.
A chill ran through her, and she realized that her dress was gone; she was now completely naked.
"Ah Yue—be careful not to catch a cold!"
Mu Yun Chu quickly pulled her into the blanket, and the two pressed tightly together again.
As expected, Gu Qingyue rolled her eyes at him!
The bright moon hangs high in the sky; it is already midnight.
Gu Qingyue and Mu Yunchu were both dressed in black and wore silver half-face masks.
Seeing Gu Qingyue's neat and dashing appearance with her hair styled in a high ponytail, Mu Yun Chu smiled.
This is how Ah Yue shows her claws; she's just as charming and alluring.
Thinking of this, he took Gu Qingyue's hand, and the two of them disappeared into the courtyard in a flash.
They left the capital under cover of night and went to the first stronghold of the Su Shou Alliance.
"Brother, the Marquis has sent word that as long as we can take Princess Li's life, our Su Shou Alliance will be able to do whatever we want in Jiangnan."
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard the voice of a middle-aged man.
"snort"!
From inside the main room, a young man's voice rang out.
"Do you think that Prince Li is a pushover? He's a ruthless killer on the border of Lizhou, a master of martial arts. Does that Marquis want us all dead?"
"But this time they doubled it again, making it five times the original amount..." The middle-aged man persisted.
"So what if it's ten times the amount? If we fail, we'll lose our lives. What will we have then?"
The young man retorted.
Gu Qingyue released her spiritual power to take a look. Inside the room, a young man was playing with a jade eagle, completely absorbed in the sight.
He didn't even glance at his two subordinates arguing nearby.
He's quite composed.
"Brother, what do you say?" the middle-aged man asked anxiously.
Gu Qingyue's lips twitched.
This man is old enough to be that 'big brother's' father, yet he calls him 'big brother' so naturally.
"Take it easy," the young man who was called "Big Brother" finally spoke up.
"It's just a woman, what's the rush? If you didn't succeed yesterday, there's always next time!"
"Brother is wise."
The young man waved his hand, "Don't be so stupid next time, doing it in broad daylight. Remember to use your brain."
"But... Brother, do you have a better idea? Princess Li has Prince Li's backing..."
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and realized that if Gu Qingyue was always accompanied by Prince Li, she would be really difficult to deal with.
"Haven't you heard there's a banquet in the palace in a few days? How's the deal going?" The young man picked up the jade eagle and examined it closely under the lamplight.
The sound was very calm and leisurely.
"Wouldn't it be dangerous to sneak into the palace?"
The young man spoke again, "If we lose too many men, and the leader finds out..."
The young man frowned, put down what he was holding, and looked at the young man.
"The leader will be here next month. If he finds out that we still failed to get things done even after being offered five times the reward, we'll be the first to die."
The young man froze, clenching his fist. "But it's too difficult to sneak into the palace."
"Go find the people from that Marquis's mansion, they will take you in. Use your brains," he said, and then began to fiddle with something placed on the other side.
"Brother is wise! Tonight, shall we choose Miss Xue'er or Miss Jiu'er...?"
The middle-aged man asked obsequiously.
"Let Qing'er come along too, that would be nice."
The man put down what he was holding, a wicked glint flashing in his eyes.
Gu Qingyue withdrew her mental energy.
But he frowned deeply.
She gestured to Mu Yun Chu, and the two of them flew out of the courtyard.
“They probably won’t make any moves tonight, but the leader might be coming,” she whispered to Mu Yun Chu, telling her everything she had just seen.
"It's alright, A-Yue, don't worry. I'll have Mu Dong lead men to eliminate them. As for the palace banquet..."
Mu Yun Chu's eyes turned cold. "Nothing to fear."
"No need. I just scouted the place. There are about fifty people here. I've also memorized the layout of the courtyard. I'll have Yue Ling handle it. You should focus on the movements of the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince first."
The old emperor's health is now seriously compromised, and with the princes making constant moves, Mu Yun Chu no longer needs to be distracted by dealing with an assassin organization; she can handle it herself.
