The Prime Minister’s Darling - Chapter 565

Chapter 565: 277 Want his life! (First update) Chapter 565: 277 Want his life! (First update) Gu Jiao had also arrived at Baishi Street, weaving her way through the crowd in search of Gu Yan. As she passed a tea house, she had a vague sense of familiarity, as if she had been there before.

But she clearly hadn’t.

It was Gu Yan.

He had been there.

Gu Jiao searched back along the tea house, and her steps came to a halt around a corner.

She looked at a wide but secluded alley to the left, and suddenly found herself short of breath for no apparent reason.

She covered her chest, where a sudden flash of pain arose!

“Ayan!”

After leaving Nanfeng Inn, Gu Changqing also came to this nearby area via Baishi Avenue.

He saw Gu Jiao, galloped towards her on his horse, and noticing her distressed expression, he asked hurriedly, “What’s wrong?”

Gu Jiao tightened her grip on her clothes and looked towards the dark, endless night in the east: “Ayan is there.”

Gu Changqing followed her gaze, pulled back his sight, and offered his hand to her: “Get on.”

Gu Jiao swung onto the horseback with the support of his hand, clutching the saddle tightly.

Gu Changqing didn’t have to worry about her falling off like he did with Gu Yan. He tightened the reins: “Go!”

The horse seemed to sense the urgency of its owner and began to gallop swiftly in the darkness.

“Which way?”

At the crossroad, Gu Changqing asked Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao turned her head for a glance: “This way.”

He spurred the horse into a gallop down the right-hand lane.

When he traversed the streets and entered a gorgeously adorned alley, he could guess something. This alley was very famous in Capital City and was often frequented by dignitaries for their decadent ventures.

Once, someone had brought him here, offering him a mansion. At the time, he didn’t understand the implications, he was simply not accustomed to accept bribery. The person had laughed and said, “Why is Mister Captain being so modest? Even Mister Tang has a mansion here. It’s just up ahead.”

Thinking of this, Gu Changqing knew where Tang Ming was.

He couldn’t wait to spur the horse forward, so he dismounted and handed the reins to Gu Jiao, then he quickly disappeared into the night.

As he was leaving, a thought flashed through his mind. It passed too quickly for him to catch.

The moonlight was dim, the candlelight ambiguous.

Tang Ming had ripped Gu Yan’s robes and undergarments. All that was left was a thin layer of clothing draped over him.

An exquisite creature of the human world indeed.

Stroking the long, fair legs beneath him, Tang Ming moved to mount Gu Yan.

Boom!

A loud sound echoed as the entire door landed flat on the ground.

An overwhelming killing intent attacked Tang Ming from behind. The curtains fluttered on their own accord, and Tang Ming felt a chill creep up his spine. He quickly reached for the longsword beside the pillow. Before his hand even touched it, a whip came flying through the curtains, coiling around his neck.

Before he had the chance to fight back, he was violently lifted and thrown against the wall. After a violent collision, he fell heavily to the ground.

The fall was intense. He lay there for quite some time without getting up.

Gu Changqing rushed over to the bed and lifted the curtain. Seeing Gu Yan almost naked, his gaze turned painfully cold. He didn’t use the blankets on the bed to cover Gu Yan; instead, he quickly took off his own cloak and wrapped Gu Yan in it tightly.

Gu Yan’s consciousness was scattered, his body feverish.

He had been drugged.

Gu Changqing was filled with a murderous rage. But nothing was more important than Gu Yan’s life.

He lifted Gu Yan in his arms, who lay weakly in the crook of his arm.

“Don’t…” He murmered weakly.

Gu Changqing’s heart ached unbearably; his arm holding Gu Yan trembled uncontrollably.

“It’s me.” He whispered.

With his scattered consciousness, Gu Yan glanced at him. His vision was blurring, and all he could see was a vague silhouette. But the presence was familiar and comforting.

His lips parted slightly: “Big Brother?”

Gu Changqing’s heart shattered at the sound. That “Big Brother,” had the same tone and affection as when Little Monk called him.

He was overwhelmed with the desire to admit to him, yes, I am your brother. Your real brother.

Upon recognizing the arrival, Gu Yan suddenly confided his grief.

His eyes, which had not reddened in front of Tang Ming, became swollen, and his expression was filled with unspeakable resentment.

Gu Changqing’s heart felt as if it had been pierced with a hundred arrows.

He tightened his hold on Gu Yan’s arm. At that moment, he was almost out of sanity. If it wasn’t for Gu Yan’s declining conditions, he would have long rushed over and ended Tang Ming’s life!

“Gu Changqing… Is it you?” Tang Ming finally mustered some energy. He slowly attempted to raise himself from the ground. But before he could stand up, he was kicked down by Gu Changqing once again!
