After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Chapter 193 Believe it or not

The meal was finally finished.

Originally, the Qian couple were in a good mood, but when Gu Yuan arrived, they recalled all the unhappy things in the first half of their lives.

"Mom, my sister and I are going to play with Chun'er." The two children obviously didn't want to stay at home.

Obviously those things happened so long ago, but I still feel unhappy when I think about them now.

"Go ahead, and be careful on the road." Mrs. Qian could tell what the two children were thinking.

Noticing Gu Yuan's gaze, Madam Qian explained, "It's Chun'er from Zhihuan Tower. She is about the same age as my daughter and they have a very good relationship."

Speaking of Zhihuan Tower, Gu Yuan recalled the scene where I had fled twice.

"Madam has close ties with Zhihuan Tower?"

This question is somewhat strange.

Madam Qian nodded. "It's not bad. Madam Dayu is a gentle person, and the girls in the building are all kind women."

Gu Yuan originally wanted to ask why some people said that Zhihuanlou was not a brothel.

But then he thought about it and decided to give up, for fear that Mrs. Qian would also be unwilling to pay attention to him.

Therefore, the words on his lips became, "Madam, I want to find Lady Dayu, but I don't know where to go?"

Mrs. Qian was incredulous when she heard this. "If you want to find her, go to the building!"

Gu Yuan hesitated to speak, thinking about the two times just now.

Mrs. Qian saw through Gu Yuan’s thoughts, and then she remembered that the building really seemed... not very welcoming to strange men.

"Then what's the matter with you?"

Gu Yuan opened his mouth, but if he wanted to say what he wanted to do with the woman, he really couldn't say it.

Could it be possible that he was going to discuss official business with someone in front of the local official?

Mrs. Qian thought of what her husband had said, and her favorable impression of Gu Yuan suddenly dropped a lot.

She doesn't believe in love at first sight, even though Madam Yuhe is indeed very beautiful.

As soon as Gu Yuan saw Mrs. Qian's expression, he knew that she seemed to have misunderstood something.

He hurriedly explained, "Madam, Madam Yuhe looks like an old friend of mine."

It would have been better if she hadn't said this. Once she said it, Mrs. Qian's face became even worse.

"Sir, if you are fine, go back and rest. I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do."

Seeing this, Gu Yuan hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Madam Qian looked at Gu Yuan's back as he left and spat fiercely, "What kind of person is this? How dare you treat a person as a shadow?"

In the past, Mrs. Qian would never have behaved so impolitely.

Since she found out that Yuhe was on the same side as her, Mrs. Qian was indeed a little surprised, but she felt more bitter in her heart.

I thought that even though I had left Kyoto, I still couldn't hide it from the eyes over there.

But later on, when I thought about it carefully, it seemed that Yuhe really didn't know me when we first met.

It was only after my husband reminded me that I thought the princess sent them here for their safety.

The princess did not tell anyone else their identities. If it weren't for the refugee incident, Yu He would probably never have known their identities.

Gu Yuan, who was leaving the government office, thought about it and decided to go and take a look.

Who would have thought that the clerk at the rice shop opposite had set up a shed and was sitting under it looking at the gate of Zhihuan Building.

Gu Yuan had no choice but to leave. After wandering around aimlessly, he returned to the government office.

This time I came in through the main door.

Qian Li was currently bored in the study room, and it was Mrs. Qian who entertained him.

When she learned that he was looking for her husband, she didn't say anything and took him to the study.

"Knock, knock, knock," there was a knock on the door, and then I remembered Madam Qian's voice, "Husband, Mr. Gu is here again!"

Qian Li quickly put away the things on the desk and said, "Please come in."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qian opened the door, let Gu Yuan in, and then left.

Qian Li smiled reluctantly, "Why are you back again? Is there something wrong?"

Gu Yuan took a critical look and said, "My Lord, why did you stop me from going south? Did something happen?"

Qian Li wanted to deny it at first, but then he thought again, Gu Yuan was the leader of the team, and he would know it sooner or later.

"You can't go south." Qian Li said seriously.

"The road to the south is very dangerous. With your strength, you will be killed before you get ten miles out of Wuzhou."

Before Gu Yuan could speak, Qian Li explained, "I won't hide it from you. The night you came to Wuzhou City, a group of people came outside."

Qian Li looked into Gu Yuan's worried eyes and said word by word, "I'm here to take your lives."

"As for why, I don't need to explain. You know why yourself."

Ever since Qian Li said that just now, Gu Yuan's face turned pale.

Qian Li looked reluctant, "Tell me what you know, I can still help you."

Gu Yuan remained rational and prepared for the worst. "What about the others?"

He was asking about the person who left before them, and Qian Li shook his head.

Said, "In Wuzhou, I have only seen your group of people."

What he meant was that he didn't know whether others were alive or dead.

But since he didn't reach Wuzhou, he is most likely dead.

Gu Yuan clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and his expression was sad and angry.

Qian Li sighed, "I understand how you feel, but now is not the time to act on impulse."

"I can tell you clearly that you can't get to Kyoto. Even if I help you get rid of the assassin outside the city, you still can't get there."

Gu Yuan stared at Qian Li and asked, "How do I know you are not in the same group with them?"

"Who knows if you will kill us all after you have finished telling me what to say?"

"Or have you already poisoned our meals every day?"

"Besides, is your Wuzhou City a den of dragons and tigers? Why don't those assassins enter the city but instead stay outside the city?"

Qian Li sighed again, "You don't have to think so badly of me. If I wanted to get involved in this mess, I wouldn't be hiding here."

"What's more," Qian Li added, "Like you said, if I wanted to kill you, I could just poison you and let you die suddenly the night you arrived in Wuzhou."

This statement is true. After all, everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation to the end is handled by the government office.

If Qian Li wanted to poison them, it would not be easy at all.

"Regarding the last point," Qian Li said, "he had already entered, but we discovered him."

One person did sneak in that night, but he had very bad luck and ended up going to Yuemanlou.

As soon as Yulin saw the man, she knew he was a killer. That night, she gave him a cup of knockout drug and took him away.

People outside the city naturally did not dare to act rashly because they had not received the news.

But Gu Yuan remained unmoved, looking as if he wasn't listening at all, and continued to stare at Qian Li.

Qian Li met Gu Yuan's fierce gaze and swallowed.

Qian Li felt that if he said something that Gu Yuan didn't want to hear, he would rush up and bite his neck off.

Qian Li slumped in the chair, looking tired and calm, "Believe it or not, what I said is true anyway."
