Chapter 360 Princess's Skirt 06
He originally wanted to leave a descendant for the Shen family and escape with Shen Qingzhou, but who knew that he would go astray.
If I want to meet Shen Qingzhou again, do I have to wait for him to return covered in blood five years later?
The farthest place that Gu Li could go while staying in the capital was Massachusetts near Jiangnan. As for the frontier area where Shen Qingzhou had risen up in rebellion in his previous life, it went without saying that her father and mother would not agree to let her go.
That is where Shen Qingzhou's maternal grandfather, the Li family, is stationed.
Shen Qingzhou was from the Li family, which was another important reason why the emperor did not execute all nine clans. As it was related to the security of the border, he could not move the Li family army for a while.
It can only serve as a wake-up call to the Li family army, reminding them not to forget the foundation of the country.
In the past two years, the emperor has been training his own confidants and sending them to the border in an attempt to undermine the power of the Li family. However, the Li family has been entrenched in the southern border for many years, and it is not so easy to uproot them.
I can only figure it out slowly.
Originally, she thought it would take another five years before she met Shen Qingzhou again, but in the summer of the following year, when the emperor took his concubines and ministers to the Yushan Palace to escape the summer heat, Gu Li met him.
To be precise, it wasn't that Gu Li was lucky enough to meet him.
Instead, Shen Qingzhou came to see her on purpose.
Gu Li, who was originally taking a nap in the pavilion enjoying the breeze with the fragrance of lotus, woke up to find herself in a small covered boat without knowing when.
She had been lying against the awning for an unknown amount of time, and her shoulders and neck were very sore.
The straight back of the person sitting at the bow became even stiffer after she uttered the first moan.
It's like a bow that is pulled open and ready to shoot an arrow at any time.
As soon as Gu Li put her hand on her neck, she saw the back of the man at the bow. At a glance, she called out his name, "Shen Qingzhou!"
Shen Qingzhou slowly turned around and looked at Gu Li, whose eyes were wide open in surprise. He seemed to see a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Shen Qingzhou clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand and said coldly: "Your Highness, Princess, do you still remember me?"
"Where have you been for so long? Why didn't you come back to find me?" Gu Li didn't care about the pain in the back of her neck, and used her hands and feet to crawl towards Shen Qingzhou.
With a "clang" sound.
Shen Qingzhou drew his sword and stood between the two of them. A cold light flashed across Gu Li's eyes. Gu Li looked up in disbelief, "You want to kill me?"
Shen Qingzhou sneered, "Princess, are you surprised? My Shen family was wiped out by your Li family. Not only will I kill you, I will also kill the dog emperor!"
"But your Shen family did collaborate with the enemy, and the original crime was to execute all nine clans------"
Before Gu Li could finish her words, Shen Qingzhou's sword was already on her neck. The sharp blade scratched Gu Li's delicate neck, causing a slight tingling sensation.
The slippery and warm blood flowed along the blade to the hand holding the handle.
He really wanted to kill her.
"So, I should be grateful for the princess's plea? How ridiculous! It was your Li family that killed my Shen family. Why do you think that this little kindness can offset my hatred of exterminating my family?"
"Shen Qingzhou, calm down."
"In one night, all 268 members of my Shen family were gone. My grandmother who doted on me and protected me since I was a child, my father and uncles who devoted themselves to the court, my brothers and sisters, and even my nephew who was just learning to speak, are all gone. I am the only one left in this world. Li Wanchao, how can I stay calm?"
Shen Qingzhou's sword was shaking violently. More blood flowed from Gu Li's neck.
"Should I thank Her Royal Highness the Princess for showing mercy to my men? For going through so much trouble to trick me out of the city?"
"It's good that you know." Gu Li also got angry, not understanding what was wrong with her doing this. The Shen family had colluded with the enemy, not just for the mission, and she couldn't just watch the Shen family devour the Tian family, that was treason.
His Shen family has a whole family of old and young, so does she have no relatives or brothers?
"Heh." Shen Qingzhou laughed in anger. This little princess. No matter what she did, she acted so naturally. Even her family members who plotted against her could accuse her with such bright and innocent eyes.
He dropped the sword.
He couldn't bring himself to do anything to her, his former wife.
But he didn't intend to let her live.
He said: "The emperor can use you to marry into our Shen family to frame him, so today I will also use you, Princess, to kill him."
Gu Li frowned. She did not frame the Shen family. The letter was indeed intercepted by her secret guards with the help of San Liang.
And, "My father didn't use me for anything. I married you voluntarily. You----"
"You will marry me voluntarily, and then you will give me the gift of exterminating my clan?"
Shen Qingzhou didn't even wipe the blood off the sword and directly put it back into the scabbard, saying viciously: "Li Wanchao, you owe me this."
Gu Li didn't understand what he meant, so she followed his gaze and saw a bright yellow ceremonial guard coming rapidly towards them from the distant shore.
"What do you want to do?"
Shen Qingzhou stood up, looked at Gu Li without any emotion and said: "Kill you!"
"Don't do anything stupid. I can protect you. I will convince my father to take you away from the capital. From now on, we can live a carefree life together under different names, isn't that good?" Gu Li grabbed Shen Qingzhou's clothes. "If you do this, it will be irreversible."
She just asked him to stop being Shen family's Qingzhou, which was also a disguised way of "killing" Shen Qingzhou.
It does not violate the original body's wishes and can also save Shen Qingzhou's life. In his heart, it is also like saving the last bit of the Shen family's bloodline.
Shen Qingzhou closed his eyes and pushed the princess away.
How could he live with the executioner incognito? Without his family and clan, and if he also lost his surname and name, who would he be?
A complete wandering ghost!
Shen Qingzhou bit his cheeks tightly and said, "There's no going back between us." There are more than two hundred lives between us.
It's a blood feud.
Shen Qingzhou knocked Gu Li unconscious and left her lying there without paying any more attention to her. He then quietly dived into the lake from the other side of the boat.
The emperor's favorite little princess sent someone to invite her father to go boating on the lake, and the emperor naturally came. Because when the emperor came to the back garden to see his daughter, he couldn't bring a large number of guards to accompany him.
This is the only convenient way Shen Qingzhou can think of to kill the emperor recently.
The emperor used him to let Li Wanchao enter the Shen Mansion to frame him, so he used Li Wanchao to lure out the emperor and kill him.
Everything was just as Shen Qingzhou expected. Emperor Wuchang brought only a few guards and eunuchs to the princess's palace, and the palace servants led them to Guangyue Lake. From a distance, they saw a small covered boat floating alone on the lake.
The emperor was wondering if he was too late, but Gu Li'er had already boarded the boat. He saw a man swaying out from the simple boat awning.
