Translator: 549690339

This was the second time Jiang Ning had met Gucheng.

Last time, it was when she and Jiang Yi were plotting against the Crown Prince, Jiang Yi had borrowed Jiang Mubai’s confidant from the main house.

At that time, Jiang Ning was deeply impressed by Gucheng. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Because of his name, he really was like a solitary city.

The silent, slender youth in black.

When he saw Jiang Ning coming out, he sat still, only looking at her.

Jiang Ning’s leg wasn’t fully recovered, so she still used a wheelchair.

Xiaoman was not there either.

Huang Ying was holding a food box, and said to Gucheng, “Help the Princess Consort.”

Gucheng shook his head.

Huang Ying was puzzled: “Are you mute?”

Jiang Ning said, “Huang Ying, he is not a servant of our mansion, do not be rude to him.”

The youth in black said, “Men and women should maintain a proper distance.”

His voice was very pleasant, but somewhat cold, as if to make it clear, he spoke very slowly, almost bouncing each word out.

This was the first time Jiang Ning heard him speak, and couldn’t help but find it interesting.

However, as they were still not familiar with each other, Jiang Ning did not dare to tease him, so she got up and climbed into the carriage herself.

Her movements were somewhat unsteady.

Huang Ying, holding the large food box, could not help but feel anxious.

Gucheng just sat motionless, watching from the side of the carriage.

Li Yuanyuan was walking towards her own carriage and saw this scene. She was surprised, “Has the Princess Consort’s leg already healed?”

“No, it’s just a temporary improvement.” Jiang Ning replied as she entered the carriage.

Gucheng’s eyes looked a little dazed.

Jiang Ning asked, “Gucheng, what are you thinking of?”

“Temporary improvement is not how you use it.” Gucheng said slowly, word by word.

“…here’s an honest child, let’s bully him.” Jiang Ning laughed.

Huang Ying giggled, holding the food box, and climbed onto the carriage as well.

Li Yuanyuan didn’t understand, but she had her mind on going to the Court of Judicial Review, so she got into her carriage without saying much and urged the driver to start.

Because of this, Li Yuanyuan’s carriage ended up in front.

Usually this would be against the rules; concubines shouldn’t walk ahead of the wife.

But Gucheng drove the carriage leisurely, not caring about these things. Huang Ying glared at him for a while, then let it go.

This kind of petty matters wasn’t worth getting upset over.

The Court of Judicial Review was always deserted.

Those who could be summoned here for interrogation were not ordinary people.

So naturally, there weren’t many of them.

Yun Dai got off the carriage, still sitting in a wheelchair. This time, without being prompted, Gucheng took the initiative to stand behind the wheelchair and push Jiang Ning.

Pushing the wheelchair was acceptable, but helping a woman was not.

This was Gucheng’s insistence.

Of course, no one paid attention to this insistence.

As soon as they entered the gate of the Court of Judicial Review, a small accident occurred.

An eunuch rushed over, holding a knife, shouting, “Hahaha, the damned scourge, you finally came, I will kill you to avenge the Princess Consort!”

He charged straight at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning stared at the approaching knife, not moving at all.

Li Yuanyuan screamed in fear, and Huang Ying nervously clung to the food box.

The eunuch ran up to them, the knife in his hand plunging down straight towards Jiang Ning’s head –

At this moment, Gucheng made his move.

He gently lifted his hand, and the knife flew out of the eunuch’s grasp, making a turn in mid-air, plunging into the eunuch’s chest, and the huge inertia sent him back more than ten meters away.

The eunuch fell heavily to the ground, with the knife stuck in his chest, dead.

It may sound long, but it happened in an instant.

Jiang Ning hadn’t even had time to react, and the assassin was already dead..
