The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1605

Chapter 1605: 773 Super Sister Complex (First Update)_3

Ye Qing couldn’t help but glance at the National Master again.

"What should we do? The door won’t budge—huh? It’s open! It’s open!"

Of course, it opened. Xiao Hen had activated the secret mechanism.

He did it very carefully, making it appear as though Ya He had simply pried the iron door open to the untrained eye.

But Ye Qing knew very well that this iron door couldn’t be pried open with tools.

The Crown Prince Changsun and Xiao Liulang thought locking it from the inside would prevent others from breaking in, but in fact, there was a main mechanism outside the iron door that could easily cause it to collapse instantly with a gentle pull.

This main mechanism was known only to Ye Qing and the National Master.

Ye Qing really wanted to ask his master why he didn’t open the door.

But he ultimately asked nothing.

He was the master’s disciple; he only needed to trust and follow his master.

After everyone entered the Secret Room, Gu Jiao calmly said, "You all go out. She can’t be moved easily. I need to sew her wound here. Your Highness Changsun, please go to my room and fetch my first aid kit."

"Alright," Xiao Hen replied.

"National Master," the Emperor turned towards the National Master.

Gu Jiao was really worried this guy would say, "Let me take a look." That would expose the whole plan.

But the National Master said, "Your Majesty, let us step aside."

The Emperor seeing him say that, didn’t insist on letting the National Master treat her, after all, last time it was Xiao Liulang who pulled Shangguan Yun back from the gates of death.

It seemed Xiao Liulang’s medical skills indeed surpassed those of the National Master.

Everyone left the Secret Room.

Xiao Hen fetched Gu Jiao’s small first aid kit and then left the Secret Room himself.

He had reasons to stay inside, but staying outside was safer. First, to prevent others from breaking in, and second, to deal with Gu Chengfeng’s "body."

The Emperor’s eyes were bloodshot, his headache flaring up again.

Xiao Hen supported him, saying with concern, "Grandfather, please rest in the adjacent room. Leave the matters here to me."

The Emperor nodded and went to the room opposite.

Xiao Hen called his driver and asked him to find a place to bury the "body."

Inside the Secret Room, Shangguan Yun was asleep.

To achieve the effect of excessive blood loss, Shangguan Yun had taken some medication to lower her body temperature and weaken her pulse, the side effect being drowsiness.

Gu Jiao hadn’t expected she would actually fall asleep.

How carefree could one be?

Shangguan Yun: Hmph, doesn’t it take no effort to shed tears?

Gu Jiao first removed the blood packs and pork prop from Shangguan Yun’s body, changed her into clean clothes, and then took out the small first aid kit, placing it into the recessed niche in the wall.

Today’s events were a setup from beginning to end.

From the moment Gu Changqing was seriously injured and came to find Gu Jiao, he had decided to use his wound to do one last thing for her.

He intended to fake an assassination attempt on the Princess and frame the Crown Prince.

Everyone knew he was the Crown Prince’s close advisor and had participated in the selection process under the Han Family’s guise.

Even if the Crown Prince wanted to claim he was a spy, it was unlikely anyone would believe it.

But after rehearsing a few scenes, they realized this method had flaws. Gu Changqing had frequented the National Master Hall, where the disciples recognized him, and Pang Hai also knew Gu Changqing had saved "Xiao Liulang."

Gu Changqing had befriended "Xiao Liulang" first before joining the Crown Prince, which clearly made it seem that they had planted Gu Changqing in the Crown Prince’s mansion as a spy.

With a shift in thoughts, Xiao Hen devised a new plan. He had Xiaojiu send a message to bring Gu Chengfeng over.
