Chapter 819: Sending Head to Marquis Yongye!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Rao had originally come with Gu Xinghan.
However, as soon as Gu Xinghan arrived at the riverside and saw so many graceful young ladies, he immediately abandoned Gu Rao.
Gu Rao was also happy not to be with him, lest he always did things to embarrass her and implicate her.
She didn’t expect to encounter Gu Nuo’er and be ridiculed by her without being given any face.
She actually wanted to stand up for her deceased imperial grandmother?
Gu Rao walked to a place where no one was around and spat fiercely.
“What do you think you are? Serves your imperial grandmother right for dying early. No matter how smug you are, she’s still a dead person!”
Gu Rao left angrily.
Little did she know that behind the tree she was standing on just now, an old woman with blind eyes walked out while supporting herself against the tree.
She used her hearing to look in the direction Gu Rao had left, her expression solemn and silent.
On the other side, Prince Guang had already sneaked into the river with his men.
According to his original plan.
Today, he would arrange for a few people to create the illusion that they were going to attack the little princess.
At the very end, he would rush over and save the princess from the encirclement.
After he saved the emperor’s beloved daughter, Gu Yihan would definitely reward him greatly.
Prince Guang waved his hand and arranged for those who had disguised themselves to enter the crowd.
However, when he turned around, he realized that Ren Chao was still standing beside him.
Prince Guang was a little puzzled. “Why aren’t you going with them?”
Ren Chao lowered his head slightly and said respectfully, “The little princess has seen this subordinate before. If this subordinate appears, this premeditated assassination will definitely become filled with suspicion. At that time, it won’t be good if His Majesty suspects Your Highness.”
Prince Guang thought for a moment and nodded. “You’re right. Then find a place to hide and don’t come out to cause trouble.”
“Yes!”
Ren Chao cupped his hands and immediately turned to leave.
It was as if he couldn’t wait to leave.
Prince Guang didn’t know, but Ren Chao knew in his heart.
Today, the little princess was with Marquis Yongye. They could forget about encircling her.
As long as those people got close, they would be killed by Marquis Yongye before they could draw their sabers.
He wasn’t going to court death!
However, Ren Chao wanted to bypass the crowd here.
He had to think of a way to find Gu Nuo’er by the crowded river and inform her beforehand.
Although Her Highness was already prepared, it was safer for him to inform her.
After all, the few people Prince Guang had arranged to go had brought real weapons.
There were many people at the river today and there were also many peddlers setting up stalls.
Previously, Gu Nuo’er said that she was thirsty. Ye Siming really brought her to sit at a tea stall.
The simple wooden table that had been set up at the last minute was polished until it shone.
Gu Nuo’er sat obediently on the wooden stool with a teacup in her small hand.
The tea was a little inferior, but she didn’t despise it at all.
Gu Nuo’er had never put on airs since she was young. When it was time to be approachable, she was very obedient and considerate.
Ye Siming sat opposite Gu Nuo’er and was about to look up to talk to her.
Suddenly, the youth’s expression changed and a sharp and cold expression immediately surged from the bottom of his eyes.
“Watch out.”
As soon as Ye Siming finished speaking, he reached out and protected the child in his arms.
At the same time, screams and riots broke out in the crowd.
Gu Nuo’er lay in Ye Siming’s arms, not knowing what had happened.
She was only hugged tightly by him.
It turned out that when the child was drinking tea just now…
A man who looked to be wearing ordinary clothes covered his sleeve with his hand and walked over quickly with his head lowered.
He looked like he wanted to drink tea, but he was too close to Gu Nuo’er.
The moment Ye Siming turned over and carried the child away…
The man also took out his short knife and suddenly slashed at the short stool
Gu Nuo’er was sitting on!
