Gu Nuo’er settled Ren Chao down.
She then sent the injured Luzhu and her grandson, Qi Jingsheng, to the Four Seasons Sweet Shop to recuperate.
Luzhu was very grateful to Gu Nuo’er.
She knew that the little princess had saved her and her grandson’s lives again!
Luzhu pulled her grandson and taught him earnestly.
“Jingsheng, Grandmother is old and might not have many years to live, but there’s something I have to remind you. You must listen to me.”
Qi Jingsheng hugged Luzhu’s arm with his small hands, his dark eyes filled with a pure and childish expression.
“Grandmother will definitely live to a hundred years old. Jingsheng will listen to whatever you say!”
Luzhu smiled in relief. “Jingsheng, remember this. Back then, Grandmother let down the late empress. It’s my lifelong regret and a knot in my heart that can’t be resolved.”
“Now, we’ve been taken care of and helped by the little princess many times. One has to remember to be grateful. If Grandmother passes away, you must replace me and be loyal to the princess.”
A hint of confusion appeared on Qi Jingsheng’s thin and handsome face.
“But Grandmother, if I can’t see, will princess older sister not like me?”
Luzhu stroked his head and said softly, “No matter how Her Highness treats you, we are indebted to her.”
“Even if she beats and scolds you, you have to remember that you have to be loyal to her. You have to make good use of your talent to do more for Her Highness.”
Qi Jingsheng nodded slowly. “Grandmother, Jingsheng understands!”
He clenched his small fists, expressing his determination.
From now on, protecting the princess was his only mission.
…
In the dark death row prison.
There were four guards outside the cell where Gu Xinghan was imprisoned.
After the escape from prison last time, the death row prison had strengthened its defense and patrolling manpower.
However, Gu Xinghan didn’t complain like he did before.
Ever since he woke up, he seemed to have lost his mind and leaned against the wall of the cell in a daze.
He would eat whatever was sent over. He no longer clamored for big fish and meat.
If someone approached or made a sudden sound, he would cower in fear or shout shrilly.
It was as if he was scared silly by the group of people who wanted to kill him.
At this moment, the door at the front of the death row prison was opened.
A group of handsome princes in gorgeous clothes walked in.
The prison guards had never seen such a scene before.
They took a closer look.
The first prince, second prince, third prince, fifth prince, and eighth prince were all here.
Even the seventh prince, Kongjue, who had already become a monk, followed behind them.
The prison guards hurriedly stood up and bowed. “Greetings, Your Highnesses!”
It was rare for so many princes to be mobilized, but the prison guards didn’t receive the imperial edict in advance.
What were they here for?
The first prince, Gu Zixiao, was the eldest brother and he naturally stood at the front.
His tone was calm as he said in an indifferent tone, “Gu Xinghan used to be a descendant of the royal family. Now, he’s the perpetrator of a very important case.”
“We want to interrogate him personally. We can just stay in this cell and not bring him out. I wonder if it’s convenient now?”
The first prince was so polite and approachable.
The prison head quickly said, “If Your Highnesses have such thoughts, of course you can. However, the criminal has been in a bad mental state recently. Your Highnesses probably won’t be able to get anything out of him.”
The third prince smiled. “It’s fine. We’re just going to do a simple questioning. It’s fine if we can’t get anything from the interrogation. I heard that the person who will come to interrogate him again will be Marquis Yongye. I believe he will have more ways to get Gu Xinghan to speak.”
Hearing this, the prison guard nodded and was about to turn around to open the cell.
However, at this moment, a dagger embedded with gems fell out of the second prince Gu Zitang’s sleeve!
There was a loud clanking sound!
