Chapter 113 The attack is carried out above the nine heavens, and the code is hidden under the nine
Gu Wangshu's figure slowly reflected in He Lianhuan's eyes as the candlelight swayed. His face looked mysterious and profound in the interplay of light and shadow.
In the silent cell, her tone was calm and gentle.
"Your Highness, you missed an opportunity to exchange terms with me."
"For example..." He Lianhuan asked lightly.
"For example, His Highness can ask me to rescue you from the cell as a condition. As long as I can do it, Your Highness will inform me of the layout of the palace."
He Lianhuan suddenly smiled when he heard this, but said nothing. He just looked at Gu Wangshu quietly, as if he thought what Gu Wangshu said was interesting.
Gu Wangshu met his gaze, firm and calm, bold and not timid.
"Or is it that Your Highness thinks I don't have this ability?"
Under the hazy halo, He Lianhuan's smile faded slightly, and his deep eyes shone with the light of "everything is in the palm of your hand".
"You are very smart, such small things can't trouble you."
"Then why didn't His Highness make any conditions to me? With His Highness' talent, I don't think it's because His Highness didn't think of it."
He Lianhuan admired Gu Wangshu more and more.
Not only is she smart, she can sometimes guess his thoughts, which is rare.
"I just don't think it's necessary."
This answer was beyond Gu Wangshu's expectation.
What is unnecessary?
"Why?"
Although she didn't know him very well, she knew his desire for the throne better than anyone else.
In order to get the throne, he would do anything. She didn't believe that he would be so depressed that he didn't even care about his life because of one failure.
This is absolutely impossible!
"Isn't your Highness afraid of death?"
"Death?" Helianhuan frowned slightly, as if he heard a joke: "Do you think Lord Helianhuan will kill me?"
Gu Wangshu was silent for a moment. Based on her past and present understanding of His Highness, she felt that His Highness would not kill the second prince.
"will not!"
"It seems you know Lord Helian very well."
"I can't say I know him very well. I just believe that His Highness the Crown Prince is a kind and wise master."
"So, this is the reason why your Gu family chose the prince?"
"..."
Seeing her silence, He Lianhuan knew that he had guessed correctly.
He would not be angry or angry because the Gu family chose the prince instead of him.
People are not killed for their own sake.
There is nothing wrong with everything being based on self-interest.
He did not continue to dwell on this issue, but changed the topic:
"Because Lord Helian is kind enough, he will not kill me."
"But because I killed my father and violated human ethics, he had to imprison me in order to give an explanation to the world."
"understood?"
Gu Wangshu understood. The more she talked to him, the more she realized that He Lianhuan's wisdom was not comparable to that of ordinary people.
"It seems that my help blocking the sword last night was unnecessary."
He Lianhuan smiled: "If you had not helped me block the sword, I would not have told you everything without reservation as you wished today."
Gu Wangshu also smiled: "So, my action of blocking the sword moved His Highness?"
He Lianhuan shook his head: "That's not a big deal, I'm just a little surprised."
He Lianhuan looks gentle and well-behaved on the outside, but he is ruthless and ruthless on the inside.
Gu Wangshu appears to be well-educated, gentle and dignified on the outside, but on the inside she is cold and weak-tempered. She gives all her feelings to her family and is indifferent to outsiders.
Who would have thought that even though they were in a hostile relationship, the two of them were getting along surprisingly harmoniously at the moment.
"My daughter has benefited a lot from what His Highness said today." Gu Wangshu was humble and polite.
"My lord, there is still something unclear. Your Highness, can you clarify my doubts for me again?"
If Gu Wangshu ignored He Lianhuan, who was a prisoner under his command, because she was the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, He Lianhuan would never give her a second glance.
However, Gu Wangshu was respectful to He Lianhuan from the beginning to the end, and would salute him before asking questions. The etiquette was engraved in his bones, and his gestures were generous and neat, which was pleasing to the eye.
Don’t take advantage of one’s badness, and don’t take advantage of one’s inferiority.
He Lianhuan couldn't help but marvel at this kind of magnanimity.
He always likes to deal with smart people, not to mention that this smart man is also a polite woman who knows how to advance and retreat.
He raised his eyebrows slightly at Gu Wangshu in question.
Seeing that he didn't refuse, Gu Wangshu said with confidence:
"My daughter wants to know why Your Highness committed the act of patricide."
He Lianhuan was slightly shocked, not expecting Gu Wangshu to ask this suddenly.
"Isn't this the result you want to see?"
Gu Wangshu: "..."
It was indeed the result she wanted, but she wanted to know why He Lianhuan killed her father and what his motive was.
"I just want to hear His Highness's reasons."
"Everyone knows that this palace is cruel and ruthless, so it is not surprising that he would commit the act of killing his father."
"I only know that your Highness never does anything without reason. Since His Highness killed the emperor without mercy, there must be a reason why he had to kill." Gu Wangshu's words were like sharp arrows, shooting at He Lianhuan's face. From the bottom of my heart.
His pupils shrank, and for a moment, he even felt that he had heard wrong.
Patricide is to be despised.
But Gu Wangshu not only did not spurn him, but also had a vague intention to excuse him from his words.
"What reason can there be? It's just that I was in a bad mood and wanted to kill someone to vent my anger."
"That's it?" Gu Wangshu stared at He Lianhuan.
"That's it!" He Lianhuan said firmly, not wanting to defend himself at all, and he didn't even care what others thought of him.
Winner takes all, loser for Kou.
This is the creed he has always believed in and the way he conducts himself in the world.
He has fallen into this situation and has nothing to complain about.
Gu Wangshu didn't believe it.
In his previous life, he was able to force his body to collapse in order to reverse the situation of the Helian Kingdom being destroyed.
It is true that He Lianhuan is ruthless and vicious, but his sacrifice for Helianguo is also true.
For a person who did not care about his own life and death for the sake of the country, she did not believe that he would kill the old emperor in a fit of enthusiasm.
"In my opinion, the reason why His Highness wants to kill the emperor is for the long-term development of the Helian Kingdom."
"Even if the emperor becomes the Supreme Emperor, he may still hinder Helian Kingdom's progress. In order to avoid such a thing from happening, His Highness killed him, right?"
"..."
If He Lianhuan looked at Gu Wangshu with a little indifference before, now, he had to face the woman in front of him.
"Your Highness is a person who has a sense of the overall situation. You know that His Highness the Crown Prince cannot do this, so you would rather bear the crime of patricide yourself than see Helian Kingdom weaken day by day."
"You seem to know me very well?" There was a hint of temptation in He Lianhuan's tone.
Gu Wangshu lowered his eyes slightly:
"How can I guess His Highness's thoughts? The reason why I say this is that I think this is the only possibility for His Highness to kill his father. I wonder if I am right."
He Lianhuan neither admitted nor denied, looking at the small iron window above the cell with his eyes as deep as the sea.
"it's dark."
Gu Wangshu followed his gaze and looked over.
It was pitch black outside the iron windows, and the sun had already set in the western mountains.
No wonder the cell was so cold and cold. It turned out that the bars of the cell were always open.
The howling cold wind blew He Lianhuan's thin prison uniform.
Having just eaten dumplings and drank wine, his complexion returned to its original paleness, as if the delicious food and wine just now had left no trace in his life.
His ears were red, and his wrists and ankles exposed to the air were even bright red from being rubbed by the cold iron chains.
Gu Wangshu frowned slightly.
He Lianhuan noticed her gaze, and his eyes immediately flashed with severity.
Is she pitying him?
Even if he froze to death on this cold winter night, he, the second prince, would never need a woman's mercy.
He was about to make a sarcastic comment, but was interrupted by Qiu Chi's voice.
"Miss, it's late, we should go back to the mansion. If we go back too late, the people in the mansion will be worried about the safety of the lady."
Gu Wangshu pursed his lips, looked at He Lianhuan deeply, and then raised his hand to untie his fox fur.
This fox fur was exactly the one that her uncle had given her not long ago. It was white, flawless, and made of the finest fox fur.
"Miss, what are you doing..." Qiu Chi watched with confusion as Gu Wangshu stuffed the thick fox fur from the isolation fence into the cell.
Gu Wangshu said with slight concern:
"It's cold at night, Your Highness, please be careful with the cold."
He Lianhuan was shocked by her behavior.
She gave him her underwear to keep out the cold. Did she know what she was doing?
Doesn't she want fame anymore?
He Lianhuan, who was as calm as he was, couldn't help but frown at her at this moment.
Gu Wangshu didn't think much about it. Seeing He Lianhuan standing there blankly, he thought he was going to refuse.
Gu Wangshu said no more and threw the fox fur directly on the weeds in the cell, then withdrew his hand and left with a confused Qiu Chi.
He Lianhuan looked at the fox fur quietly for a long time before picking it up "reluctantly".
"This palace doesn't need this kind of thing at all."
He whispered, his eyes deep.
"Since you are so forced, I will reluctantly accept it."
After the low voice ended, He Lianhuan put the fox fur on his body.
In an instant, warmth spread throughout his body, and He Lianhuan couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
"I will not be responsible if my reputation is ruined in the future."
