Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 300 You guys really know how to have fun!

Without saying much to the man, she immediately curtsied and left without hesitation with her maid.

As Zhang Qingxuan watched the woman walk away, he thought to himself that she was indeed someone the woman had taken a liking to; she was truly extraordinary.

Gu Qingyue walked quickly with her eyes down. Jiang Wan could keep up, but Zhu Qing stumbled along.

In fact, Gu Qingyue had already released her mental energy along the way; she had been searching continuously.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks. Zhu Qing, who had just caught up, didn't stop either and bumped into Gu Qingyue's back.

She stumbled and fell to the ground, leaving her completely dazed.

Gu Qingyue turned around and glanced at her. "You should rest for a bit and go back first. Jiang Wan can come with me."

After saying that, he gave Jiang Wan a wink, and the two of them immediately ran towards a small courtyard not far away.

Zhu Qing rubbed her ankle and tentatively stood up.

Seeing that the two had already run quite far, she could only pout and turn around with a somewhat aggrieved expression, limping towards the direction of Shangchun Garden.

At this moment, Gu Qingyue was extremely anxious.

She had already seen Gu Yuanming.

He was helped into a side room in the front courtyard by a servant.

Gu Yuanming seemed to be either drunk or poisoned at this moment; in any case, his eyes were slightly closed and he was walking unsteadily.

We were outmaneuvered!

Gu Qingyue looked around the courtyard in other directions.

Sure enough, on the second floor of the other side of the courtyard, Princess Qing'an and an old nanny were sitting peacefully inside.

Gu Qingyue had met that old woman in Lizhou before, but she couldn't remember her surname.

"Princess, everything is ready, Young Master Gu------" Before the old woman could finish speaking, Princess Qing'an glared at her fiercely.

The old woman trembled, but still forced herself to say, "That person is already in the room, along with... a few maids and servants who know the truth..."

"Have Shen Lin handle it in a quarter of an hour. Use corpse-dissolving water, it'll be cleaner. Do I need to teach you?" Princess Qing'an held her teacup, her eyes as cold as frost.

"Then Miss Zhao Lingyun..." the nanny asked tentatively.

"Hmph! What does she know? All she did was let her see her beloved. If she could hold off Prince Zhang for a while, that's her achievement. Let's ignore her," Princess Qing'an said disdainfully.

She had Zhao Lingyun trip Zhang Qingxuan, thus separating him from Gu Yuanming. She had finally gotten this opportunity, with perfect timing, location, and people!

We must not let anyone ruin things!!

She looked at her nails, painted a deep red like blood, and a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes.

Gu Yuanming managed to dodge last time, but this time he still fell into her hands.

Want to cut ties with her? Dream on!

"Yes, Princess," the old woman lowered her head, her whole body trembling, a fleeting hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

What a cruel woman!

If this kind of woman were to enter the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion... Gu Qingyue couldn't even imagine it; she would never allow it!

Gu Qingyue was furious. That damned Princess Qing'an, she would make sure she suffered a great fall today!

When Jiang Wan reached the entrance of the courtyard, she went up to it and found that the door was locked and could not be opened.

Gu Qingyue gave Jiang Wan a wink, and the two of them flew into the courtyard in the next instant without making a sound.

Gu Qingyue gestured for Jiang Wan to stay hidden and watch out for any movement around them, while she herself flew into the room.

As soon as the door was opened, before the servant could even ask a question, Gu Qingyue knocked him unconscious with a single palm strike.

Gu Qingyue turned her head and was surprised to see Gu Yuanming, who had just been feeling dizzy, looking at her with a smile.

Gu Qingyue: ...What happened?

"Third Brother, are you alright?"

Gu Yuanming stood up. "I'm fine. Why are you here, little sister?"

Gu Qingyue wanted to roll her eyes at him, "Of course I came to save you, how come... you're not poisoned?"

"Who told you I was poisoned?"

Gu Qingyue: Uh...

Gu Qingyue didn't want to say more, so she grabbed Gu Yuanming's hand and quickly walked outside, saying, "Let's get out of here quickly, Princess Qing'an is coming soon."

"Wait," Gu Yuanming pulled Gu Qingyue closer, then whispered for a while.

Gu Qingyue raised her head, looked at Gu Yuanming with a complicated expression, and then looked towards the door.

Raises an eyebrow, you guys really know how to have fun!

Gu Yuanming stared at Gu Qingyue for a while, then gestured for her to leave quickly.

Then he turned around and threw the unconscious servant out the back window, giving him a sleeping pill before throwing him out.

Gu Qingyue thought for a moment, then walked to the screen in the inner room, stood in the gap between the cabinet and the window, and pulled the curtains to cover herself.

Gu Yuanming: ...This troublesome little sister!

Gu Qingyue: What are we waiting for if we don't watch such a big show? Who wants to participate in some talent competition?

Fifteen minutes later, Gu Yuanming sat on the edge of the soft couch, propping his head up with one hand, his eyes closed, feeling drowsy and almost fainting.

Gu Qingyue secretly peeked through the curtains and watched, her lips twitching. This acting deserves an Oscar! Seriously.

Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open.

An old nanny slipped inside.

She saw Gu Yuanming with his eyes closed, looked around but couldn't find the servant, and frowned slightly in displeasure.

She looked around in confusion, but found nothing amiss. Then she walked over and called out softly, "Young Master Gu, Young Master Gu?"

Gu Yuanming closed his eyes, and a noticeable blush gathered on his face, indicating that the medicine was beginning to take effect.

The old nanny pursed her lips in satisfaction, stepped forward to help Gu Yuanming up, helped him lie down on the bed, took off his boots, and considerately lowered the bed curtains.

Gu Qingyue yawned behind the curtains; she was really sleepy because she hadn't taken a nap at noon!

After the old woman left, Gu Qingyue leaned against the wall and peeked out the window at the scenery.

I must say, this little courtyard may be small, but the scenery is really beautiful!

With its vibrant flowers and verdant willows, it's truly a wonderful place to enjoy the spring scenery. Unfortunately, some people want to defile this place.

But before they could even finish glancing at it, a huge black shadow leaped in through the window.

Gu Qingyue was startled. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the person who came was carrying another person on their shoulder.

Gu Qingyue recognized the visitor; it was Gu Chao.

She knew it! The bodyguard that Third Brother always took with him was nowhere to be seen today; apparently, he had gone to kidnap someone.

Gu Qingyue silently shifted her gaze from Gu Chao to his shoulder, where a young man dressed in red stood—or rather, a boy.

Gu Chao carried the person forward for two steps, then suddenly realized something.

Turning around, he met Gu Qingyue's teasing eyes.

Gu Chao was taken aback, his expression freezing for a moment.

"Come here quickly," Gu Yuanming's low voice came from inside the tent.

Gu Chao realized what was happening and immediately carried the person towards the bed behind the screen.

After undressing the man and placing him on the bed, Gu Chao considerately gave him a cup of tea to drink, then tucked the cup into his arms and lowered the bed curtains.

"Let's go, that person will be here soon," Gu Yuanming said in a low voice as he walked toward the window.

Gu Qingyue wanted to watch the excitement and didn't want to leave!
