Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 207

In the end, a few dark guards followed the assassin into the guards, which forced them back.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, couldn’t hold back the pain in his lungs any longer, and his face was wrinkled in pain.

Gu Yin resisted the urge to laugh and pretended to be worried and scared.

Guard Rong glanced at several people, his expression stunned, and he asked, “What about the deaf and mute waste?”

Gu Yin immediately explained, “He can’t hear the sound, maybe he is still sleeping.”

But soon, a guard came out of the house where the young man lived, saying that he was not there.

“Quickly search for him! Be sure to find the assassin!”

Guard Rong pushed Gu Yin aside. He held down the wound with one hand, held a sword in the other, and kicked Eunuch Shangshan’s room door with one kick.

After the last search, the young man was still missing. At that time, only Gu Yin’s room was not searched.

Guard Rong kicked open the door of Gu Yin’s room, and a group of people rushed in.

Gu Yin hurriedly followed, only to see a very conspicuous bulge on the bed in the unobstructed room.

She covered the surprise in her eyes and watched Guard Rong lift the quilt.

The deaf-mute young man was lying on the bed with only a middle coat at that time, and was sleeping soundly. It was not until the quilt was lifted that he sat up in shock. Seeing so many people in the room, his dark face was also full of light. Out of embarrassment and shame, he hurriedly got out of bed with a limp and kneeled over to beg for mercy.

The eyes of everyone in the house focused on Gu Yin’s face again. She bit her lip and said, “Your Excellency knows that, this woman is too embarrassed to say it. He…he’s been in my room the whole time.”

The guards even looked at Eunuch Shangshan with disdain and contempt.

Not long after, someone from outside came to report that they had found mud footprints on the top of the outer wall leading to the front yard, and everyone no longer bothered about the adultery, and immediately followed.

“Little lady was still…” Before Eunuch Shangshan left, he hesitated and said, “In the end, it’s his majesty’s side. Even if you are a commoner, you should not do such things.”

Gu Yin lowered her eyes and apologized repeatedly, and promised that there would be no next time, so she sent Eunuch Shangshan away.

After everyone left, the shame on Gu Yin’s face faded. She closed the door with a sullen face, and lit the oil lamp on the table.

The two looked at each other, and finally the young man said, “Thank you.”

His voice was deep, giving people a very reassuring feeling on that rainy night.

Gu Yin didn’t care about admiration, but said, “I’m not helping you, I’m helping myself. I’ve worked with you these days. If you’re an assassin, I can’t avoid the suspicion.”

That man could attack the Emperor in the tightly guarded mansion, and he could pretend to be a deaf, mute, lame disabled person those days, and hide from her who was facing him every day. Whether it was martial arts or that kind of temperament, it made her startled.

If she really betrayed him, he would probably be able to fight it out. She had no martial arts skills, but would likely be regarded as an assassin and a scapegoat.

Moreover, Gu Yin didn’t have the slightest affection for the Emperor, and felt a little pity in her heart. If he was successfully assassinated, the Emperor would be gone, and the predicament in front of her would naturally be dissolved.

The person in front of him must be a member of the rebel army, but she didn’t know who it was. She wondered if he was the rumored general who could tear apart living people.

The more she knew, the quicker she might die. Suppressing her curiosity, Gu Yin closed her mouth and stopped talking to him.

“Thank you again.” 

After saying that, the man first took his clothes from the bottom of the bed. It was a night suit, but with a shake, it immediately turned into the brown robe he usually wore. Then he picked up the chair in the room with one hand and put it in the corner, sat down with eyes closed, and stopped talking.

After all the drama and the whole set, in the end the man stayed until dawn before leaving Gu Yin’s room.

Gu Yin sat with him silently for a long time, and as soon as he left, she locked the door and windows and lay down to catch up on sleep.

After sleeping until dawn, Gu Yin was still the ugly and shriveled cook, and the man was still the ugly, deaf, mute, and lame cook.

Both of them acted as if nothing had happened, but Gu Yin did not talk to him again.
