Chapter 568： ：Young Pavilion Master of Netherworld Pavilion

The Nether Pavilion's first mission to assassinate Gu Xueting ended in failure as almost the entire army was annihilated. Shortly afterwards, Gu Xueting led his men to almost raid the Nether Pavilion's lair, causing them heavy losses and a severe loss of vitality.

According to the rules of Netherworld Pavilion, a failed mission will not be accepted a second time, especially for someone as tough as Gu Xueting.

So this time when the client came to place an order, Mei You refused without even thinking about it. After all, no matter how much money you have, life is not as important. If it fails again this time and Gu Xueting comes to find her, she is afraid that she will really sleep underground with Meihua. Keep company.

Unexpectedly, the Young Pavilion Master arrived just at this moment and took over the task directly, bypassing her.

At this moment, the weapon in front of him to assassinate Gu Xueting was also provided by the Young Pavilion Master.

I don’t know what grudge the Young Pavilion Master has against Gu Xueting...

Now, Gu Xueting is right in front of her, so the news in the letter she received last night is obviously false.

Mei You took a slow breath to steady her chaotic heartbeat: "I wonder why His Highness King Chen came here?"

Shen Yizhi chuckled softly: "Didn't Mrs. Mei ask knowingly? I heard Ayan said that Master Mei You is the smartest among the eight envoys of the Netherworld. Now that I have met her, it is not necessarily true."

Zhong Wuyan would never tell her what was going on inside Netherworld Pavilion. She saw this from the information submitted by Gu Xueting's subordinates.

Mei was humorous and silent. It seemed that they already knew that it was Netherworld Pavilion that did it.

I couldn't help but think of what the Young Pavilion Master said at that time: "If Gu Xueting dies this time, that's good. If he's not dead and he comes to the door, you don't have to carry him to death, just bring him to me directly."

So she stood up directly and said, "Your Highness, King Chen, come with me. Our Young Pavilion Master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Gu Xueting and Shen Yizhi looked at each other, both feeling a little surprised.

It was another complicated and long journey. After passing through a moon gate, Mei You finally stopped, bowed to the two of them, and made a "please" gesture: "The young pavilion master is inside."

Looking at the exquisite courtyard in front of him, Shen Yizhi suspected that this was a trap deliberately set by Youming Pavilion...

Gu Xueting squeezed her hand and said, "I'll be back as soon as I go. You wait for me outside for a while."

Shen Yizhi held his hand and said, "Let's go in together."

Gu Xueting finally agreed.

He led her up the steps and pushed open the house first.

There was no light or shadow of the sword, the room looked normal.

A man dressed in red turned around from the window. He had snowy skin, red lips, and peach blossom eyes. He was so beautiful that his gender was almost blurred. If it weren't for the Adam's apple on his neck that clearly showed his male identity, Shen Yizhi would have thought he was It's a woman.

What shocked her even more was that the evil man in red actually opened his mouth and called Gu Xueting: "Uncle Chen Wang, long time no see."

Gu Xueting didn't recognize him at first, her eyes were fixed on his face, and after a while he asked with some uncertainty, "Xiao Qi?"

Gu Xi smiled and looked at Shen Yizhi: "This must be my little aunt."

Shen Yizhi was filled with doubts. Do the Young Pavilion Master of Netherworld Pavilion and Gu Xueting know each other? No, not only do they know each other, they seem to be uncle and nephew?

So, why did the eldest nephew let his men assassinate Gu Xueting? Is it possible that there is some grudge between the two?

The room was heated by floor heating, and the floor was covered with a soft and thick carpet. The carpet was as white as the snow outside. The maid brought clogs, and Shen Yizhi and Gu Xueting put them on before walking in.

Gu Xi led the two of them to the stove and sat down directly on the floor.

Hung on the stove was a pot of soup, bubbling and fragrant.

Gu Xi filled a bowl of soup for each of them and handed it to them.

Shen Yizhi took it and reacted belatedly. Is there something wrong? Before she came here, she imagined a scene where she and the people from Netherworld Pavilion had a disagreement and got into a fight. How come it has now become a scene where relatives meet and sit together to drink soup?

She stared at the steaming soup in front of her, her mind filled with doubts.

Seeing that she didn't drink it, Gu Xi joked: "There's no poison in the soup, so don't worry, little aunt."

Shen Yizhi raised his eyebrows and simply put down the bowl, "Are you the seventh prince?"

Gu Xi drank the soup with great taste: "No, Seventh Princess."

Shen Yizhi couldn't help but feel glad that he didn't drink the soup at this moment, otherwise he would have had to spray it.

Gu Xueting put his big palm on her back and spoke of the past in a deep voice: "Xiao Qi originally had a twin sister named Yueyue. On their sixth birthday, I took them to play in the garden for a day and went back. At that time, I suggested that the two of them exchange the clothes they were wearing to test whether Zhen Fei could recognize them.

"As a result, the next day, I heard the news that the seventh prince fell into the water. In fact, it was Yueyue who fell into the water wearing Xiao Qi's clothes. Concubine Zhen was afraid that something would happen to Xiao Qi, so she simply made the mistake and let him take the place of Yueyue. identity."

Shen Yizhi held Gu Xueting's hand and silently gave him strength. Although his voice was flat when he narrated the past, and the past many years ago seemed to have passed, she could still feel the emotions surging under his calm appearance, but Yueyue's death It's not his fault. If you want to blame it, you should also blame the person who did it behind the scenes!

But the Seventh Prince probably didn't think so. In his heart, he probably believed that Gu Xueting was the culprit who caused his sister's death. If his sister hadn't died, he wouldn't have had to dress up as a woman for so many years.

So he wanted to kill Gu Xueting to avenge his sister.

Shen Yizhi couldn't say that he was wrong. After all, he was only six years old when his sister died. He only knew that it was because of Gu Xueting's suggestion that his sister was killed in his place. After so many years, he must have avenged his sister. Obsession.

At the moment she didn’t know what to say.

The charcoal is burning quietly in the stove. It is fine silver charcoal. There is no smell of smoke when burning. The soup pot hanging above is still making a puffing sound.

Shen Yizhi added some soup to the pot and stirred it in circles. After a while, the soup became more fragrant.

She took out the prepared vegetables one by one from the space, placed them on the low table beside her, put some meat and vegetables into the pot, took out a bottle of wine, and asked Gu Xi opposite: "Can I drink? "

Gu Xi grabbed the wine directly from her hand, poured a glass herself, drank it all, and then poured another glass.

Shen Yizhi took an empty bowl, put some cooked vegetables in it, and handed it over: "You can't just drink wine without eating vegetables, otherwise you will suffer from stomachache."

Gu Xi didn’t refuse, she took it and tasted it, “My little aunt’s cooking is really good, it’s much more delicious than what I make.”

Just like that, the three of them were eating and drinking, and the atmosphere gradually became less cold.

Shen Yizhi asked: "Have you found out who the murderer was who killed Yueyue?"

Gu Xi put one hand on the ground and swayed the wine glass in the other. Hearing this, he sneered: "What do you think, little aunt? The person who did it has long become a flower manure in the imperial garden. However, that person was just being instigated by others. The real person The murderer is still sitting on the phoenix throne. "

The person behind the scenes is the queen?

No wonder Gu Xi couldn't move her.

It is not difficult to move the queen, but how to explain it to the emperor is difficult.

Unless...the emperor also falls with him.
