Chapter 325
Gu Jing clenched his fist tightly as he looked at the mansion in front of him.
He remembered that this was the mansion left behind by the former right imperial governor when he was appointed to his post. As far as the eye could see, it was deserted, with broken tiles and rotten walls, grass and trees growing wildly; no one had lived here for at least three years, it was old and dilapidated, even though it was managed by the imperial government.
He is the prince and a prince’s residence, so although this mansion was regulated under the imperial government but this was only a residence that was awarded to a former governor during the reign of the previous emperor, and no more than an ordinary three-building mansion. for new novels
His imperial father told him to live here, but how could he live here!
Moreover, apart from the palace maids and servants he used in his palace before, he couldn’t bring anyone out.
There were no stewards, no guards, no gatekeepers...there was nothing but just an empty mansion, not to mention money to renovate the place.
If this was done among common people, it would mean that the father had kicked his son out of the house.
Just thinking about it, saddened Gu Jing. He devoted himself to Daqi and exhausted his energy, but his imperial father treated him as a useless waste son, moreover, those courtiers also acted according to the circumstances. Today, when he moved out of the palace, no one came to congratulate him.
“Your Highness...” A young attendant beside him could also see that Gu Jing was in a bad mood, but standing like this dumbfounded was not good.
The young attendant was about to persuade Gu Jing to settle down inside when he heard a cold male voice from behind. “I have heard that Your Highness the Second Prince is moving in today, and I have come to express my congratulations.'”
Gu Jing’s body stiffened and immediately recognized the owner of the voice, and turned to look.
Seven to eight steps away was where Yelu Luan could be seen, dressed in a blue lapel robe as he strode towards his direction with his head held high and a sinister smile on the corner of his lips.
With his arrival, the atmosphere froze.
Seeing Yelu Luan didn’t believe him, Gu Jing also began to become impatient. He also had a rough time these days and has no mood to coax others.
But he still patiently added, “Prince Yelu should have seen how my imperial father treated me, believe it or not, the prince can decide for himself.'”
For this peace talk, for the cooperation with Yelu Luan, the price he has paid was already high enough!
Gu Jing’s eyes were deep as he clenches his fists in the wide cuffs, then released and clenched again.
Yelu Luan silently stared at Gu Jing with his sharp eyes as if they were trying to penetrate him, and a moment later, his gaze turned to the dilapidated house behind him, pulled out another sneer, and nodded, “Okay, I believe you.”
Seeing that the other party finally believed him, Gu Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. He has nothing now, so although Yelu Luan was about to become a hostage prince in their country, he was still ultimately the second prince of Northern Yan, and may have something of use!
Yelu Luan waved to Gu Jing and said, “Your Highness, I have one thing to tell you...”
Gu Jing took two steps closer to him, and Yelu Luan lowered his voice and said, “It’s like this...”
His words only went to this and the corners of his lips spread a sly smile as he pulled his right hand out of his sleeve with a dagger gleaming in his hand.
This dagger stabbed at the upper part of his thigh with a lightning flash...
At this moment, time seemed to have stagnated as the surrounding palace people watched with disbelief.
“Tick-tock, tick-tock.”
The blood quickly overflowed from the wound, dying the clothes red and the scarlet blood continues to drip onto the ground below.
“Tick-tock, tick-tock.”
