C76 Wave (1/2)

Gu Wangshu tossed and turned, and did not sleep the entire night.

The next day, he woke up with a pair of panda eyes, especially with his fair skin, which made his eye sockets more obvious. Uncle Fu was shocked when he saw him.

He just smiled and did not speak. Uncle Fu thought that he was worried about Pei Xingyun and understood.

But in truth, he was worried about Pei Xingyun as well as Bai Yuanjun.

When it was noon, Pei Xingyun finally returned, his face a little haggard, his eyes bloodshot. Upon seeing him, Gu Wangshu rushed over: ”Big Brother, are you alright? Do you want to rest? ”

The corner of Pei Xingyun's mouth curved into a smile as he held onto Gu Wangshu's hand: ”I'm fine, don't worry.”

Gu Wangshu bit his lower lip, and asked hesitantly: ”Then, did you catch the assassin?”

Pei Xingyun shook his head. ”There's more than one assassin, and they are also exceptionally cunning.

Gu Wangshu heaved a sigh of relief. Since Pei Xingyun still had not caught him, it meant that Bai Yuanjun and Gu Wangyan had safely left the imperial city.

However … Would Pei Xingyun even suspect Bai Yuanjun?

”Brother, do you know who did this assassination?”

”I don't know. But, to assassinate the Emperor at such a sensitive time like the night before when the two nations got married, I suppose it should be someone from Huiguang Dynasty or Shouyi Dynasty … Shu need not worry, Big Brother will take care of this matter. ”

Gu Wangshu felt embarrassed and blamed himself, because he had concealed the truth about Pei Xingyun.

However, he would never give away his own blood brother and kin.

”Then... How is the Emperor now? ”

”Fortunately, we reacted in time. His Majesty wasn't injured, he was just a little frightened.”
