The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1422

Chapter 1422: 692 first watch

"Liulang! Liulang, where did you go? Liulang!"

It was Mu Chuan’s voice.

Gu Jiao had been gone too long, and Mu Chuan, having waited in vain, went out to look for him with Zhao Wei, Yuan Xiao, and others. A little Palace Maid from the central and harmonious court also came with them.

This was a small miscellaneous courtyard of the central and harmonious court, generally deserted, with a small wooden hut for janitorial tools, a high wall, and several big trees.

And now, Gu Jiao was squatting under a big tree near the high wall, in front of her a man lying in a pool of blood, and three unconscious eunuchs were lying near the little hut behind her.

"What, what’s going on here?" Yuan Xiao asked, dumbstruck.

"Liulang!" Mu Chuan strode over.

Yuan Xiao and Zhao Wei followed swiftly.

As they passed the small hut, they all glanced at the three eunuchs sprawled out in disarray.

Yuan Xiao shook his head at the two of them.

He could sense that these three were already breathless.

Worried, Zhao Wei looked at the small silhouette squatting on the ground, unsure if she was drawing circles or doing something else: "Liulang won’t be in trouble, will he? Is he injured or scared silly?"

This was clearly a horrifying murder scene!

What normal person could squat there? Wouldn’t they run scared or hide far away to clear themselves of any connection?

The three of them quickly reached Xiao Liulang’s side, Mu Chuan on the left, Yuan Xiao and Zhao Wei on the right. Zhao Wei, thinking himself too far from Xiao Liulang, simply walked around the man on the ground to face Gu Jiao.

And the little Palace Maid who had come with them had already dashed off to summon help.

"Liulang, are you alright?"

The three asked in unison.

Having played soccer together for so long, their rapport had increasingly grown.

Gu Jiao responded with an "oh" and said, "I’m fine."

Only Mu Chuan among them had seen Nangong Li, but unfortunately, Nangong Li’s face was smeared with blood, making it hard to identify him. Plus, Mu Chuan was so preoccupied with worrying about Xiao Liulang that he didn’t recognize the other.

Mu Chuan furrowed his brows and asked, "What happened here?"

Gu Jiao honestly replied, "He was murdered."

Looking puzzled, Mu Chuan turned to Gu Jiao: "Then why are you squatting here? Waiting to be arrested as the murderer?"
