Chapter 12 Zhao Hao's Reckless Acts Lead to Gu Hang's Exile and Reunion
Zhao Hu always felt that Wang Nan's recovery was inseparable from Gu Liuli, so much so that he overlooked Zhao Hao's plans and almost caused a big disaster.
As Zhao Hao walked along the road, he was still fantasizing about the sordid dream he had last night. In the dream, he clearly remembered that Gu Liuli and Wang Zhi were serving him. Just as he was about to enjoy the beauties, he suddenly woke up.
Now, seeing Wang Zhi following Wang Guangrong, evil thoughts kept arising in his mind. Gu Liuli was guarding Xiao Jingchuan every day, so he couldn't bring himself to do it, but it was different with Wang Zhi.
Since Gu Liuli gained the ability to sense fear, she has become increasingly clear about the emotions of the things or people around her. She sensed Zhao Hao's emotions and felt extremely disgusted by them!
Xiao Jingchuan seemed to sense that her breathing was unsteady, and secretly tugged at her hand: "What's wrong?"
Gu Liuli remained silent, glancing at Zhao Hao without making a sound.
Xiao Jingchuan squinted and knew that this person could not be kept any longer.
That night, all was quiet, and the moonlight shone like water into the silent woods. Zhao Hao used the same method to drug Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi, who was unconscious, was completely unaware of the danger that was approaching. He was fast asleep when Zhao Hu used his dirty hands to pull open Wang Zhi's shirt. Just as he was about to continue his actions...
Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine.
A cold yet stern voice rang in his ear: "Lord Zhao Hao, it seems your lustful desires remain unchanged!"
Hearing the eerie voice behind him, Zhao Hao was so frightened that he dared not move, and his hands froze in mid-air.
He slowly turned his head and saw that Gu Liuli was standing behind him at some point.
At this moment, Gu Liuli was dressed in a white prison uniform, with a graceful figure, a cold face, and a sharp look in her eyes.
Looking at Gu Liuli in front of him, Zhao Hao completely forgot about how he had been so frightened that he had lost control of his bladder and bowels.
A slight smirk played on his lips as he said rather rudely, "Oh! Crown Princess, why aren't you resting in your palace this late at night? Do you have some peculiar hobby? Like peeping on other people's affairs? Hehe, in that case, why don't you join in? Maybe it'll add some fun. Or perhaps..."
As he spoke, he actually reached out and tried to touch Gu Liuli's cheek.
Just as his fingers were about to touch Gu Liuli, Gu Liuli dodged his groping hand with a swift movement.
At the same time, she waved her right hand, and a flash of cold light appeared as a sharp short sword was already pressed against Zhao Hao's throat.
Zhao Hao stared at the sword before him, his whole body trembling, his legs shaking uncontrollably: "Where did you get this weapon? You're a criminal, an exile! How can you carry a weapon!"
At this moment, the system's voice rang in Gu Liuli's mind: "Please eliminate Zhao Hao without leaving a trace. Mission reward: ten NK bullets!"
"Oh! I want this. Killing Zhao Hao will be a piece of cake." However, Gu Liuli couldn't suppress the wicked smile on her face.
Upon seeing this, the system secretly shook its head. Its host was truly someone who would seek revenge for any wrong done to him!
Gu Liuli pressed Zhao Hao's acupoint to silence him, and immediately released the dark blue snake from her spatial storage.
Zhao Hao stared wide-eyed at her as she suddenly conjured a snake. He couldn't believe that what was originally a tiny snake had suddenly transformed into a giant python tens of meters long. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the same snake from before.
In an instant, Zhao Hao felt as if all the strength had been drained from his legs, leaving them limp and unable to support his body weight.
With a thud, he knelt down, his knees hitting the ground hard. Immediately, Zhao Hao began to sob uncontrollably, kowtowing frantically to Gu Liuli, who was not far away, as if desperately begging for his life.
"Lord Zhao, don't you like playing with thrills? How about it? Exciting enough now!" Gu Liuli, who was standing aside watching coldly, had a slight upturn at the corner of her mouth, outlining a smile full of evil and charm.
At the same time, however, a chilling killing intent flashed in her beautiful eyes, sending shivers down one's spine.
Thus, Zhao Hao, a bodyguard of the emperor, died in shock.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the mission! The reward has been sent to your space. Please retrieve it!"
Gu Liuli was playing with the Moon Shadow Sword in her hand when she reached out, but there was no sword in her hand, only an exquisite white jade bottle.
She opened the bottle and put it to Wang Zhi's nose. Within seconds, Wang Zhi instantly woke up, but when he saw himself lying disheveled in an unfamiliar place, he panicked.
"Don't worry, he didn't have time to do anything!" Gu Liuli comforted Wang Zhi, who was in a panic.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhi breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his eyes were still filled with fear and doubt. He turned his head with lingering fear to look at Zhao Hao, who was lying on the ground and had no breath left.
"Thank you for saving me, Your Highness! I have offended you greatly before, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me!" Wang Zhi knew that if it weren't for the Crown Princess today, she probably wouldn't be able to wash away her shame even if she jumped into the Yellow River tomorrow.
"Go back, just pretend nothing happened!"
After the two men left, two figures floated down from the tree. At this moment, they realized that their master's wife seemed to have some skills. Then, the two men arranged Zhao Hao's corpse to make it look like the scene of the bandits' arrival, making it more convincing.
As soon as she returned to Xiao Jingchuan's side, a system notification popped up in her mind: "Host, Xiao Jingchuan has had his guards stage that place to look like a bandit's crime scene!"
Gu Liuli already understood that Xiao Jingchuan probably suspected her a long time ago, but considering how much the Crown Prince trusted her, it was best to detoxify him as soon as possible.
Wang Zhi returned to Wang Guangrong's side and angrily pinched him. He didn't even know his wife was almost in trouble. In fact, it was because Zhao Hao had also drugged Wang Guangrong, which caused him to fall into a coma.
The next day, Zhao Hu assumed Zhao Hao had gone to relieve himself again and didn't pay much attention. Everyone waited until half an hour later, when someone found him behind the woods.
Zhao Hu, seeing that Zhao Hu had been slashed several times, immediately suspected Xiao Jingchuan and his group. Before he could ask, he noticed a group of soldiers approaching from a distance.
"Lord Zhao, we've finally caught up with you. This is Lord Gu Hang and his family. They disregarded the Emperor's grace and deceived him. The Emperor dismissed them from their posts and investigated them. They may be spared the death penalty, but they will not escape punishment. They will all be exiled! I'm entrusting them to you!"
Zhao Hu recognized the newcomer as Hou Deming, the palace commander. He rubbed his temples and recounted Zhao Hao's death. Hou Deming was shocked to hear this; the death of a court official was no small matter, especially on the way to exile. This matter had to be reported.
"I will report this matter to the Emperor immediately. Lord Zhao, you should hurry on your way and make sure to deliver these people safely before you can rest assured."
