Chapter 788: 366 Jiaojiao Makes a Move (Second Update)_2 Chapter 788: 366 Jiaojiao Makes a Move (Second Update)_2 Gu Jiao gave him a disdainful glance, “Who wants to watch you take off your pants? Thinking you’re such a sight to behold? So tiny.”
Gu Chengfeng fell off the wall with a thud!
He ended up outside Qinghe Academy, which was exactly what Gu Jiao wanted. Gu Jiao landed lightly beside Gu Chengfeng, her toes just barely touching the ground.
She bent over with her small hands behind her back, looking brazenly at Gu Chengfeng who lay on the ground as if his world had ended.
Gu Chengfeng thought that one day, if he died young, it would definitely be because this lass had annoyed him to death.
Killing someone didn’t mean just chopping off their head, so calling him tiny had what meaning exactly?
Gu Chengfeng felt that as a man, his pride had been ruthlessly trampled on. He desperately wanted to ask her, are you blind?
He’d always thought his size was ferocious, until one day he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xiao Liulang’s…
Ever since then, he’d kept quiet.
Gu Jiao didn’t purposefully choose the toilet to catch someone, it’s just that there were too many people in other parts of Qinghe Academy, and Gu Yan’s shadow seemed to be everywhere.
It was probably due to the telepathic connection between twins. As soon as she got closer, Gu Yan seemed to sense it.
There was only one place Gu Yan wouldn’t come looking for her – the men’s toilet.
In the end, it turned out that Gu Yan had underestimated how shameless his own sister could be.
Gu Jiao didn’t have any germophobia, but still threw Gu Chengfeng to the riverbank to wash his hands.
Gu Chengfeng, who had been repeatedly treated with disdain, was left speechless.
After getting on the carriage, Gu Chengfeng asked Gu Jiao, “I disappeared from the Academy without saying goodbye. This will give a bad impression, I am a student, I need to study.”
Gu Jiao took out a note worth 500 taels and placed it on the table.
Gu Chengfeng opened his mouth in surprise, “Even if the Academy won’t pursue, but if it reaches my grandfather’s ears, I won’t be able to avoid punishment.”
Gu Jiao took out another note worth 500 taels and placed it on the table.
Gu Chengfeng silently pocketed the notes: “Who cares about the money, I’m mainly here to help you. Tell me, where are we going this time?”
Gu Jiao: “Imperial Palace.”
Gu Chengfeng suddenly felt a burning sensation from the notes in his pocket… Is it too late for him to regret now?
Gu Jiao would enter the palace openly and honestly, but Gu Chengfeng wouldn’t be so lucky. Being a man, it wouldn’t be easy for him to enter the Imperial Harem and there was no apparent reason for him to be at Renshou Palace. The Dowager Empress wouldn’t summon him, and the Emperor had no reason to see the second young master of Marquis Residence, Gu Chengfeng.
More importantly, he couldn’t reveal his identity, so he had to grit his teeth and climb over the high palace wall.
The two reunited near the nunnery.
No sooner had Gu Jiao arrived, Gu Chengfeng showed up on her heels.
Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow – he was pretty fast and seemed to know his stuff.
“Ever been to the palace?” Gu Jiao asked.
“How could that be? You think the palace is some place you could just waltz into?” Gu Chengfeng took out a map from his bosom. “This.”
“A map of the palace?” Gu Jiao’s eyes widened. “How did you get this?”
Gu Chengfeng chuckled, “My father is a minister in the Ministry of Works. All the big and small halls in the palace are maintained by the Ministry of Works. Even the nunnery we’re heading towards was built by the Ministry of Works.”
So, this guy’s familiarity with all the large residences and how he can disappear without a trace are all due to him stealing his dad’s blueprints?
Gu Chengfeng replied coldly, “Your father too!”
Gu Chengfeng: Forget it, she’s not really Gu Jiao’s mother.
“What are you trying to steal from the palace?” Gu Chengfeng was really curious. This lass was favoured by the Empress Dowager and trusted by the Emperor. What kind of treasure could she possibly lack? Did she need to resort to theft?
Gu Jiao didn’t reply and instead, led him towards the nunnery.
Looking at the unadorned nunnery not far away, Gu Chengfeng was perplexed, “What could possibly be worth stealing in a nunnery?”
Gu Jiao asked, “There are Dragon Shadow Guards inside, can you get in?”
Gu Chengfeng nearly wet himself!
He was startled, “What…what did you just say? Dragon Shadow Guards?”
Gu Jiao asked in puzzlement, “You know them?”
Gu Chengfeng snorted, “I am the greatest thief in the Zhan Country, how could I not know about them? The previous Emperor’s personal guards, top-level martial artists, uncommonly gifted – hardly anyone in this world is their match! Oh man, just for a nunnery, why would there be Dragon Shadow Guards?”
Oh, she forgot this guy didn’t know about Consort Jing.
Gu Chengfeng wondered, “Could the Emperor have sent them? The Emperor really respects Consort Jing, doesn’t he? So fearful that the Empress Dowager might do something against her, he even sent Dragon Shadow Guards.”
Listen to this; the entire world believes that the Empress Dowager will harm Consort Jing, but no one thinks Consort Jing will harm the Empress Dowager.
