Chapter 326

Gu Jing: “!!!”

His pupils shrank and he looked at Yelu Luan in disbelief.

Yelu Luan’s expression remained unchanged, his turquoise blue eyes were as gloomy as an owl, as he pulled the dagger out.

Gu Jing’s face turned even paler, as pale as paper just while his right hand covered his wound and blood stained his fingers.

The dagger’s blade was dyed with scarlet red blood and trickled down the floor, “tick, tock.”

On the other hand, Yelu Luan casually threw the blood-stained dagger on the ground and said in a cold tone, calling him by his name. “Gu Jing, this is the retribution.”

For Yelu Luan, Gu Jing dared to play him like this, treating him like a fool, so this knife was his gift in return, in order to calm his raging heart.

Just then, Qin Zhun and Qin Xin arrived, stopping the carriage a few steps away.

Qin Zhun took the lead in getting out of the carriage and was shocked by the scene before him.

He strode up to Yelu Luan, wondering why Yelu Luan was there as he asked in a hard voice, “Prince Yelu, did you actually hurt His Highness the Second Prince?”

Qin Zhun’s face was extremely ugly, thinking Yelu Luan was simply crazy. Did he forget that he was still in Daqi’s territory now!

Meanwhile, Yelu Luan wiped his hands casually with a handkerchief. “We Yans’ have always been clear about our gratitude and grievances.”

So, what if he hurt Gu Jing, as long as Gu Jing didn’t die, the emperor of Daqi could not kill him, could he? Anyway, he was already under house arrest as a hostage and if Daqi retaliates, it couldn’t be worse than this.

Yelu Luan felt the pent-up rage he was holding in his chest finally come out, as he shook his sleeve and said, “I’m going back to the Siyi Pavilion. If Your Highness the Second Prince wants to take revenge, I’ll wait for you at the Siyi Pavilion!”

Yelu Luan rolled onto his horse and rode away.

“Stop…”

Qin Zhun wanted to ask Yelu Luan to stop but was interrupted by Qin Xin’s anxious voice. “Your Highness, Your Highness, are you okay?”

Qin Xin exclaimed and ran towards Gu Jing, her fair and beautiful face was filled with worry.

Gu Jing’s right hand was still tightly covering the wound as he watched Qin Xin anxiously run towards him, and suddenly a ripple burst in his heart: Xin’er, only his Xin’er has him in her heart and treats him sincerely.

And Qin Zhun…

Gu Jing’s gaze passed Qin Xin and looked at Qin Zhun, who was closely following Qin Xin, whose face was also burning with anxiety.

A tide of emotions surges Gu Jing’s heart: A human’s nature was either cold or warm, when he was in despair and in grave danger no one else showed up but only Xin’er and Qin Zhun.

Now he knows that the Qin family was the most reliable!

Qin Xin held Gu Jing’s left arm as her eyebrows were deeply drawn together.

Gu Jing was in so much pain that he couldn’t stand anymore, but his right hand was still covering the wound and blood continued to seeped from between his fingers, numbing his nerves with pain. He was almost unable to distinguish whether the pain was in his thigh or… somewhere else.

His face became even paler, not daring to think further.

Qin Xin shouted anxiously, “Quick, go get the physician!”

Everything happened so fast that the surrounding palace maids and chambermaids were stunned and did not react until this moment and gathered around Gu Jing.

Qin Zhun hurriedly ordered his entourage to hurry to find a physician, while some of the court ladies helped Gu Jing, other servants rushed to prepare the sedan chair, and some went to the palace to invite the imperial physician. Everyone was in a mess.

Hence the emperor, who was in the imperial study, soon learned about it and was completely dumbfounded.

Only then did the emperor remember that today was the day Gu Jing left the palace to establish himself.

The emperor immediately ordered, “Send the imperial physician to visit and then ask Yuan Minggang to follow.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” The young eunuch who had come to inform him accepted the order and retreated.

The emperor’s gaze turned to Gu Zezhi sitting by the window, his eyes flickered.

Last time in the imperial study, the emperor acquiesced with Gu Zezhi to deliberately mislead Yelu Luan.

The Northern Yan people were very ambitious towards Daqi, if they saw even a tiny opportunity to take advantage of Daqi, they would certainly secretly continue to collude with Gu Jing, so to simply cut off the North Yan people’s thoughts in a big way the emperor went along with Gu Jing, and on the other hand, the emperor also intends to let Gu Jing suffer some losses.

So, even though Northern Yan people were all irritable and unwilling to swallow their anger, but Yelu Luan was in Daqi, and the emperor was certain that even if he had any dissatisfaction with Gu Jing, he would not kill Gu Jing. At most, Gu Jing would be beaten up and taught a lesson, so he didn’t expect Yelu Luan to stab him like this.

The emperor turned the jade ring on his thumb and sighed, “After this, Gu Jing should also learn to behave well.”

As an imperial prince, Gu Jing was born with a noble status which also means that every decision he makes would also affect Daqi, and he couldn’t just do whatever he wants for his own selfish desires.

It’s time for him to think clearly about what he could do and who he could make friends with!

Gu Zezhi smiled without saying a word and just drank his tea gracefully.

Smart people learn after one loss.

However, Gu Jing was obviously not.

He only blames others and never considers this his own faults.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
