"Okay!"

Little San did as he was told and parked the carriage in the alley ahead.

This was a very secluded alley, and hardly anyone walked through here.

The carriage following them also stopped.

Little San suddenly felt ominous, as if something big was about to happen.

He said fearfully, "Gu, Gu, Gu... Gu girl ... Do we really have to park here? Why don’t... Why don't we hurry back to the medical hall?"

Gu Jiao said, "There’s no hurry."

She wasn’t in a hurry, but she also hated wasting her time on such meaningless things.

Gu Jiao closed the medical book in her hand with a snap, lifted the carriage curtain and got off the carriage.

Seeing Gu Jiao actually walking over to the other carriage, Little San couldn't help but look dumbfounded, "Gu girl, what are you planning on doing?"

Gu Jiao said without looking back, "Just wait in the carriage!"

Little San: "...Oh."

When Gu Jiao reached the other carriage, it was unknown whether the coachman was frightened or something else, but he abandoned his carriage and quickly fled.

Gu Jiao reached into the curtain of the carriage and was about to drag out the people inside, but the other party took the initiative to hand over his wrist and obediently got out of the carriage.

Gu Jiao had never seen such a self-conscious wrongdoer. She intended to grab the lapel of the person, but in the end, she grabbed the other party’s wrist instead, though the other party offered it voluntarily.

"It’s you?"

Looking at the beautiful young man dragged down by herself, Gu Jiao's eyebrows creased up.

An Junw.a.n.g nodded with a smile, "Well, it's me."

His clothes were as white as jade and hair as black as satin; he had an outstanding appearance, tall, stately and handsome.

It was indeed, ‘the lady is as beautiful as jade, and the n.o.ble son is exceptionally unparalleled.’

It was not enough to say that his facial features were exquisite, his temperament was also beyond comparison.

However, Gu Jiao had no time to appreciate someone's beauty at the moment. She already grabbed people once by mistake, and her husband got angry with her, and now she cluelessly grabbed the same person again.

Gu Jiao decisively let go of his hand and asked lightly, "Are you following me?"

An Junw.a.n.g shook his head and smiled, "I originally wasn't. I went to burn some incense in the temple, and then I saw you, so I followed you back."

What do you mean, ‘so I followed you back?’ You make it sound like we’re going back to the same home.

Gu Jiao's eyes rested on the coachman who was poking his head and looking this way from not far away, and said, "You went your way to change your carriage and coachman. You didn't burn any incense."

Wu Yang had developed from a dark guard to an aboveboard bodyguard, and had become a standard part of An Junw.a.n.g’s travels. Wu Yang had been replaced this time in order not to let people discover his ident.i.ty.

After all, what if people discover that you were burning some incense?

Unless he had another purpose.

An Junw.a.n.g smiled incredulously. When women were so smart, they were really hard to deceive.

Instead of explaining his purpose to her, An Junw.a.n.g only said, "But I didn’t really have the intention of following you from the start. It was just an accident that I saw you, I promise."

What did his promise have to do with her?

Gu Jiao glanced at him and said, "I don't like being followed. You go first."

An Junw.a.n.g didn't want to really make her angry. He held his forehead without any choice and smiled apologetically, "Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll go first, and I won't do it again."

An Junw.a.n.g got into the carriage, and the coachman came rolling back with his tail between his legs, driving the carriage away.

Only when she was sure that he was really gone did Gu Jiao turn to walk back to her carriage.

However, as soon as she opened the curtain of the carriage, a kitchen knife flew over her head. She quickly pushed Little San away, throwing him off the carriage!

The kitchen knife was then firmly transfixed to the outer seat of the carriage.

Little San covered his sore bottom and was about to ask Gu Jiao why she pushed him away when he saw the kitchen knife on the outer seat. He was instantly dumbfounded, "Is it, is it an a.s.sa.s.sin?"

Gu Jiao looked up at the roofs on both sides and squinted her eyes dangerously.

She walked out of the alley and turned left into the first shop, which was a cosmetics shop. The first floor was selling the common liquid rouge powder, and there were many customers. The second floor was for distinguished guests only, so there were fewer people.

Gu Jiao quickly went to the second floor, made her way to the private room at the end of the right corridor, broke in, and without saying anything, grabbed the only woman inside and threw her down from the window!

"Ahh——"

The woman screamed and fell beside the carriage.

Little San jumped in fright and took several steps back.

He looked up at the suddenly broken window and exclaimed, "Gu girl?!"

Gu Jiao jumped down from the window of the second floor and landed beside the woman. Without giving the woman a chance to react, she swiftly stepped on her left wrist.

With a clang, a dagger fell out of the woman's left cuff.

Gu Jiao snapped the bone of her hand, stepped on her chest, and asked coldly, "Spill it, who sent you?"

The woman wasn’t old and was likely less than twenty years old. She had a soft and weak appearance, but she was actually adept at martial arts. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been fine after falling down from the second floor.

Of course, now she undoubtedly wasn’t fine.

The bone of her left hand was broken, and her ribs also showed a faint sign of breaking.

Gu Jiao looked at her condescendingly, "My patience is limited, you'd better tell me at once."

The woman gritted her teeth.

"Very well." Gu Jiao moved her fingertips and a blade slid into her fingers.

Gu Jiao's eyes didn’t contain any pity or hesitation. She really wanted to end her life here.

The woman was terrified and was about to open her mouth to confess when she heard a stern shout from the other end of the alley, "Who is it? Stop at once!"

It was Old Marquis pa.s.sing by.

Old Marquis stepped down from his carriage and walked to where Gu Jiao and the woman were. He didn't pay any attention to Gu Jiao when they were in the vicinity of the monastery, so he didn't recognize the little girl who had just been beside Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing.

But Gu Jiao recognized him.

The old man who made Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing’s mood upset for some reason.

"What are you doing?" Old Marquis snapped, "A young girl bullying and humiliating a woman in the street? How lacking in decorum!"

"That’s not it..." Little San hurriedly came forward and explained, "There is something wrong with her!"

"What's wrong with her?" Old Marquis shot him a cold look.

Little San was just an ordinary servant boy. How could he withstand the aura of an old general of the battlefield? He felt choked on the spot.

Seeing the help coming, the woman hurriedly shouted for help, "My Lord, please help! Please help me! I didn't do anything! She suddenly rushed to my room and did this to me... I simply don't know how I offended her... "

"You, you, you... you have a knife... you threw a knife at us... and... it almost stabbed us to death..." Little San was terrified, but he still took out his remaining courage. "If, if, if... If my Lord doesn't believe me, look there..."

Little San pointed his trembling finger to the kitchen knife on the carriage’s outer seat.

The kitchen knife was one inch deep into the carriage's outer seat. If this happened to slash a person's head instead, it would definitely split the person's head open.

Old Marquis's eyes dimmed.

"I didn't do it!" denied the woman. “I don't know anything! My Lord, please believe me!"

"Whether you did it or not, the authorities will find out." Old Marquis said, then turned to Gu Jiao, "Even if you suspect her, you can't just beat her up. You should hand her over to the authorities."

Gu Jiao felt annoyed and directly ignored Old Marquis, "I'll give you one last chance, will you say it or not?"

The woman wasn’t afraid, "I don't——"

Shua!

Gu Jiao's blade flew over her cheek, cutting off a strand of her long hair.

The woman suddenly burst into a cold sweat.

Old Marquis was furious. Why was this girl so obstinate?

Old Marquis stepped forward.

Gu Jiao blandly said, "Old fogey, I advise you to step aside.”

Old, old fogey?

Old Marquis was old, yes, but he was still vigorous in mind and body. Which person dared to humiliate him like this before?!

Gu Jiao was annoyed that this old man was interrupting her business. If not for that, she already learned who the mastermind behind the woman was. As for handing her over to the authorities, she had the guts to do such a thing, so how many amongst the authorities could possibly handle her?

She feared that she would have already been picked up before the trial could begin.

Thinking that the other party was an old man, Gu Jiao didn't want to fight with him, but Old Marquis was really serious about stopping her.

"Pull them apart for me!”

At the command of Old Marquis, an accompanying dark guard rushed up. Gu Jiao lifted her foot and kicked up and away the dagger on the ground. The handle of the dagger hit the dark guard's chest, knocking the dark guard violently to the ground.

Old Marquis couldn't believe what he saw, and became enraged from embarra.s.sment. He pulled out the whip from his waist and lashed it at Gu Jiao!

Gu Jiao quickly grabbed the woman on the ground and made her into a s.h.i.+eld.

Pa!

The whip hit the woman.

"Ahk——"

The woman shrieked miserably!

This made Old Marquis so mad that smoke could almost be seen coming out of his head. He found the right angle and lashed down the whip once more.

Pa!

It landed on the woman again.

The woman was going crazy. With your old age, can’t you be a little accurate with your target? How can your whip land on me every time?

The woman blamed Old Marquis wrongly. It wasn’t that Old Marquis wasn’t accurate enough, it was Gu Jiao who was too cunning.

Old Marquis simply grabbed the woman's arm and s.n.a.t.c.hed her from Gu Jiao.

After putting the woman aside, Old Marquis's third whip lunged towards Gu Jiao relentlessly.

Gu Jiao dodged sideways and stuck her body on the wall like a small octopus.

They thought that this whip would fail to hit anyone, but that wasn’t the case..

Just as Gu Jiao got out of the way, a well-dressed man came into the alley at that exact moment.

It was too late for Old Marquis to take back the whip.

This man was none other than the famous Marquis Xuanping.

Marquis Xuanping shuddered, “f.u.c.k!"

Marquis Xuanping never thought that he would be greeted by a whip as soon as he turned a corner. He immediately stepped aside!

But he forgot that behind him was still the Emperor.

The Emperor wasn’t a martial arts pract.i.tioner.

But the main thing was that the Emperor didn't expect that Marquis Xuanping wouldn’t defend him at the critical moment, and instead dodge to save himself.

What kind of courtier was this?
