Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 763: Chapter 763 Beautiful Women are Expensive

After killing Prince Xinhai, Gucheng wiped his knife clean and walked up to Gufeng, coldly saying, “Seventh Miss is protecting you, otherwise, you’d undoubtedly be dead.”

“Gucheng, why are you being so fierce to little Gufeng?”

A silver bell-like laughter came.

Gu Ying walked over with a smile, her arms crossed, saying, “Although he does deserve to die, Gufeng was merely following Seventh Miss’s orders this time…You can’t blame him entirely. Since Seventh Miss is protecting him, you should leave it be. Otherwise, she might not let you off so easily.”

“Clear the scene.”

Gucheng stood up and coldly left the two words before leaping away.

Gu Ying said, “Hey, don’t talk to me in a commanding tone!”

Gucheng had already disappeared.

Gu Ying stretched out her clean, white, and slender jade hand and sighed, “I really don’t like to clean up dirty things. I’ll have to take a bath in sheep’s milk after this, which is so expensive.”

Thinking about her not-so-rich wallet, she sighed again and resigned herself to the task at hand.

Gufeng stood up, wiping the blood from his face, and said, “Didn’t Seventh Miss give everyone a big bonus for the New Year? Didn’t you receive it?”

“I did. But what do you know about the cost of maintaining a woman’s beauty?”

Gu Ying pouted, “Gufeng, you truly deserve to be the most useless waste among us. Now that Seventh Miss is injured, we are all going to be punished because of you.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take the initiative to apologize to the general.”

With a hurt shoulder, Gufeng slowly left.

…

The news of Jiang Ning being captured only spread within a small circle.

Of course, this was under Li Hongyuan’s deliberate concealment.

Since the Emperor was in poor health and now infatuated with Concubine Ya, Li Hongyuan almost controlled most of the Imperial Palace. It was quite easy for him to conceal a piece of news.

Gu Ying disposed of Prince Xinhai and his guards’ bodies, as well as their horses and carriages, leaving no trace behind.

It was as if they had never appeared in this world.

No one would doubt her professionalism.

Gu Ying sent a letter to the East Palace and then returned to the Shadow Guard’s residence to report the news to Jiang Ruobai and Jiang Mubai.

“Little Seven is injured?” Prime Minister Jiang, who always maintained his composure, stood up anxiously upon hearing that his daughter was injured.

Jiang Mubai frowned: “Wasn’t Gufeng with her?”

“Yes, Gufeng was also injured.”

Gu Ying turns around and sees Gufeng limping in. At this moment, Gufeng was still wearing the court lady’s dress.

He knelt in front of Jiang Mubai and said in a low voice, “I’ve returned to take my punishment.”

Jiang Mubai frowned, “Go get your own punishment. Where is Gucheng?”

“Gucheng went back to the palace with Seventh Miss.”

“This Gucheng…”

“Big brother, if you want to punish Gucheng, Little Seven might not be able to accept that.” Jiang Ruobai reminded his brother, “Just let it go and punish Gufeng only.”

“Alright, all of you leave.”

Jiang Mubai waved his hand. When there were only the two brothers left in the room, he began to speak, “It seems that war with Silla is inevitable now.”

Jiang Ruobai smiled, “Haven’t you always been looking forward to this day?”

“I’m not willing to go and fight in person, it’s rather tiring.”

“Then send someone else.”

“It seems there is someone you already have in mind?” Jiang Mubai looked at his younger brother.

“Doesn’t the general have one as well?”

“Why don’t we write them down at the same time?”

The two brothers dipped their fingers in tea and wrote a character on the table.

Zhao.
