Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 265 Turning danger into safety

Lingyu cried and said, "I just wanted my benefactor to walk less and have a rest. Besides, I won't feel tired even if I take you with me for a whole day and night."

"Alright, alright," Gu Qingyuan comforted him, "Don't cry, can't I just ask you to take me back?"

Ling Yu immediately burst into laughter.

In the water, his legs turned into a fish tail again, and Gu Qingyuan sat on his back, letting him swim forward.

Lingyu swam very fast, and even with Gu Qingyuan, it did not slow down his speed at all.

The two of them quickly returned to the river they had been to before. Seeing that they were back in a familiar place, Gu Qingyuan climbed out of the river and onto the shore.

"I'll come pick you up tomorrow."

Gu Qingyuan said to Ling Yu.

Lingyu did not go ashore at this time, but put his arms on the shore and looked up at her.

"Okay, then I'll wait for my benefactor to come." He said obediently.

When Gu Qingyuan returned, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

She had planned to bypass these people and go back to her room to pack her things, but a sudden sound behind her made her stop.

"Young Master Gu, please stay."

She only heard the princess speak.

Gu Qingyuan paused and looked over. The princess's injuries must not have healed completely yet, so her face was bandaged up, leaving only her nose, mouth and eyes exposed.

"I wonder what Her Royal Highness wants to call me for?" Gu Qingyuan raised his eyebrows and asked her.

The princess snorted coldly and ordered her men to surround her.

"I heard that Young Master Gu has hidden treasures, so please hand them over."

Gu Qingyuan pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Treasure? What treasure? I wonder what treasure Her Highness is talking about?"

"Gu Qingyuan, stop playing dumb!"

The princess stared at her intently.

During this period, she sent people to catch mermaids in the river, but the mermaids seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving her nowhere to find them.

She even had people search under the water, but there was no trace of the mermaid.

She attributed all this to Gu Qingyuan hiding the mermaid.

Gu Qingyuan's expression also turned cold, and she looked at the princess, "Please explain clearly, Your Highness."

The princess walked up to her and said, "Since that's the case, I'll be frank with you. That day, I led my men to capture a mermaid with a human face and a fish body, but for some reason, he disappeared."

"This princess has a reasonable suspicion that you were the one who let the mermaid go."

Gu Qingyuan smiled and said, "Mermaid? What kind of fairy tale is this? Has anyone seen one? Don't slander me."

She asked the people around her, "Have you ever seen the mermaid with your own eyes?"

The people who went with the princess only knew that he was a white-haired man, but they never saw him show his fish tail.

Even when the princess locked him up and didn't give him water, she couldn't make him reveal his fish tail. They began to doubt the truthfulness of the princess's words.

The princess approached her and said, "If you honestly hand over the mermaid, I can let you go. Otherwise, we will see what happens."

Gu Qingyuan retorted without any fear, "We'll see. I'd like to know, given the current situation, if Her Highness doesn't have the support of the Gu family, can she successfully ascend to the throne?"

The princess's expression became even uglier.

Although the third and fourth princesses have fallen, there is still a sixth princess besides those two idiots.

Could it be that the Gu family is going to leave her, the Crown Princess, and let the Sixth Princess take the throne?

After saying this, Gu Qingyuan was about to leave, but the princess suddenly gave an order.

"Capture her and interrogate her thoroughly. You'll definitely find out the mermaid's whereabouts!"

Gu Qingyuan drew his sword, knowing that he was probably doomed to fight.

……

"Please take care, benefactor."

After coming out of Ling'an Temple, the abbot gave instructions to Ji Mingzhao and Xiaohan beside him.

Ji Mingzhao turned around and bowed to him.

In order to pray for Gu Qingyuan, he left his infant son behind and came here with his servants.

Now An An is taken care of by Liu Shui. Liu Shui is more reliable than Luo Hua, so he feels relieved.

The lot he drew in the temple was "escaping danger into safety."

After the master's explanation, he knew that Gu Qingyuan would have a disaster, but the final result would be good and she would be fine.

But Ji Mingzhao was still worried about her, so he stayed in the temple for a few days, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures, and only came back today.

On the way back, a young man in red riding a horse passed by him quickly.

"That's too much. Didn't you see there was someone there? I almost bumped into you." Xiaohan stood up for Ji Mingzhao.

Ji Mingzhao shook his head and said, "It's okay, maybe that young master has something urgent to do."

The man walked so fast that they could only see a flash of red passing before their eyes.

"However, that man seems to be the son of the martial arts gym owner. I heard that he has been traveling around and is not often in the city." Xiaohan recalled the identity of the young man in red.

There is a Jing family martial arts school in the capital. Jing Qianfan is the only son in the family, so the owner of the martial arts school taught him martial arts.

Jing Qianfan has been traveling around the world, determined to be a knight, and rarely returns to the capital.

"We'd better go back first."

Ji Mingzhao was not interested in other people's affairs. He only cared about when Gu Qingyuan could return home. He also hoped that she could really escape danger and return safely as the fortune stick he drew said.

On the other side, Gu Qingyuan was fighting fiercely with the princess's men.

There were many people over there, and the people brought by Gu Qingyuan wanted to rush up to protect her, but they were knocked down.

The princess even wanted to kill her, and every move she made was fatal.

Just as the sword was about to pierce her, Gu Qingyuan felt a heat between her eyebrows, and it seemed to emit a light that only she could see.

Then, the princess's hand felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds, and she couldn't lift the sword.

Gu Qingyuan took the opportunity to knock the sword out of her hand.

When others were about to rush forward, Gu Qingyuan dodged them swiftly.

With that mysterious power, now all these people combined are no match for her.

After the battle, Gu Qingyuan became more and more courageous, while the people brought by the princess were all seriously injured.

"Do you want to continue?"

There was blood on Gu Qingyuan's face, but it wasn't hers.

At the princess's command, those people retreated.

Gu Qingyuan looked at her and asked, "Does Your Highness really want to be my enemy?"

The princess snorted coldly as a response.

Gu Qingyuan put the sword back into the sheath and raised his sleeve to wipe the blood off his face. Although he had expected this day to come, he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

This time, no one stopped her from going back.

The next day.

Everyone set out on their return journey.

Gu Qingyuan went to see Ling Yu on the pretext that she had something else to do.

She took Lingyu to the carriage and changed her into Wen Shubai's outer robe. Lingyu sniffed around her and said with a frown, "It smells like blood."

"It's not mine." She pushed Lingyu's head away.

But Lingyu was worried and wanted to undress him to check, but Gu Qingyuan slapped his hand away.

Xiaobai: Wife...

Suddenly, he made a sharp explosion.

"Who is this wild man!?"
