Gu Lin Chao looked through the curtain and vaguely saw her movement on the bed.
Seeing her head burrowed into the blanket in a moment and out again in a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up and a smile swept across his eyes.
“Are you feeling well?”
“Your Majesty, have you checked it all out, what is the assassin’s origin ……”
The two spoke almost at the same time.
After saying that, they both froze.
Wen Qi Qi smoothed the hair around her ears and inclined her head towards the outside, “I’m grateful to Your Majesty for thinking of me, I’m fine.”
“That’s good.” Gu Lin Chao nodded, turned around and sat down in a chair at the side to resolve her confusion.
“Those assassins yesterday, they should be the assassins sent by Bei Di. Their goal was to assassinate Prince and Princess Tuo. If the two of them were killed in Daye, the King of Huijiang would definitely raise an army to crush us, and Bei Di could then take advantage of the opportunity to capture the cities in Daye.”
Wen Qi Qi froze as she listened, not expecting this matter to be so complicated.
“Fortunately, Prince Tuo and the Princess are fine.” She sighed.
Gu Lin Chao nodded. What he didn’t say was that the assassin she left alive yesterday had bitten off more than he could chew. The assassin had been sent to assassinate Prince Tuo and the Princess, and then swallowed poison and killed himself.
The people behind the scenes must have wanted to stir up a dispute between Huijiang and Daye so that they could profit from it.
But there are hundreds of hidden secrets. Si Yi found a kind of seal marked on several of the assassins.
That mark is very hidden. It is a kind of blue flame, which is the exclusive mark of Bei Di suicide soldiers Battalion. They used a kind of medicinal solution to hide it, but Si Yi had infiltrated Bei Di death soldiers Battalion in early years, and knew some of their methods, so without much effort, he found that mark.
Therefore, it can be deduced that the assassins yesterday were indeed sent by Bei Di.
Their purpose was obvious, they wanted to make Huijiang and Daye start a big fight, so they could sit back and reap the benefits.
“This time, the Princess saved Princess Tuo and made a great achievement. The Emperor will reward you.” He said in a warm voice.
Wen Qi Qi smiled. Her eyes cunningly turned and she simply pulled open the curtain, “What about the Regent? What reward do you want to give to your Consort?”
Gu Lin Chao did not expect her to suddenly lift the curtain. He saw a pair of bright peach blossom eyes that looked straight at him, catching him off guard.
He rested his fingers on his knee, slightly curled up, and then said: “What reward does Consort want?”
Wen Qi Qi simply turned over. She lay down on the bed, one hand propped up her chin, while the other hand tapped on the pillow and asked, “Any kind of reward?”
Gu Lin Chao nodded his head, “Yes.”
Wen Qi Qi looked at his handsome face and thought, ‘How can Gu Lin Chao say yes without even thinking about it. What if the reward she wants is not good for him? He is not that careless of a person.’
Thinking so, she said cunningly, “I haven’t thought of it yet. When I do, can I ask you for it again?”
Gu Lin Chao caught the cunning glint in her eyes and gently nodded his head and agreed, ” Okay.”
Seeing that he was so nice today, Wen Qi Qi regretted a little that she didn’t take the opportunity to ask for more.
However, it was not bad to have a verbal promise from him now.
She believed that with Gu Lin Chao’s character, he would not care to renege on his debt.
Gu Lin Chao stood up, “You have a good rest, this King is going to the study.”
Wen Qi Qi saw this and lifted the quilt, “I’m not lying down. I’ve been lying for so long, if I lie down any longer, my bones are going to fall apart, I want to go out and play.” She said as she got out of bed and put on her shoes.
Gu Lin Chao frowned, “Your body is not yet well, not ……”
“I’m not injured, I just ……” Wen Qi Qi rubbed her nose, feeling a little embarrassed, so she did not go on, “Anyway, you know.”
