Chapter 2001 Gu Lin escapes

"Ah!"

Looking at the cold corpse on the ground, Gu Lin sighed, with a trace of sadness on his face.

The corpse on the ground was Xiao Shunzi, who was dead, died cleanly and quietly. He didn't even know why he was killed. Until he took his last breath, there was still a look of surprise on his face.

Looking at Xiao Shunzi who died with his eyes open, Gu Lin felt a sense of grief again.

The guards who came with Gu Lin were already dealing with Xiao Shunzi's body. Now the eldest prince might have been targeted, so the body could not be transported out of the city for the time being. They could only find a place to bury it temporarily and deal with it after the storm passed.

Gu Lin finally sighed and prepared to leave.

At this time, another guard from the eldest prince's bedroom came over. Seeing the guard, Gu Lin suddenly felt uneasy.

"Mr. Gu, the eldest prince asked me to take you out of the city." The guard came to Gu Lin and said.

"Why did you suddenly send me out of the city?" Gu Lin asked.

"His Highness the eldest prince only told you to go out and avoid the limelight." The personal soldier said, "As for the specifics, I don't know."

Gu Lin frowned slightly, and his mind worked quickly.

Zhao Xuan asked him to go out of the city to avoid the limelight, which must be because of the poisoning of the old emperor. After all, he was also involved in this matter. Guan Zhuo and Hou Zhong could find Xiao Shunzi, so they could find him. However, Zhao Xuan obviously didn't want more people to know about this matter, so he didn't tell the personal soldier the specifics.

However, Gu Lin suspected that Zhao Xuan was really so kind?

Zhao Xuan didn't trust Xiao Shunzi, who had followed him for many years, so he could trust him? Aren't you afraid that he will be found by Guan Zhuo and Hou Zhong's people?

Gu Lin remembered Zhao Xuan's words "Only the dead can keep secrets" very clearly. With his understanding of Zhao Xuan, Zhao Xuan couldn't trust him so much at this time.

In this way, there is only one possibility for Zhao Xuan to arrange him out of the city at this time:

Murder him!

Thinking of this, Gu Lin's heart beat violently, and his hands and feet felt numb. He forced himself not to show it, otherwise, he was afraid that the man in front of him would immediately attack him.

Gu Lin could guess most of Zhao Xuan's plan. Zhao Xuan probably wanted him to leave the city openly, and then kill him outside the city, and then put the blame of poisoning the old emperor on him, saying that he was eager to make meritorious deeds, so he would do such a murderous thing.

Although such an explanation might not be believed by Guan Zhuo and Hou Chong, but by then he would be dead, and there would be no evidence, Guan Zhuo and Hou Chong would have no way to deal with Zhao Xuan. As long as Zhao Xuan could survive this period of time and ascend the throne to become emperor, then this matter would naturally be closed, and all the charges would be borne by him!

Gu Lin's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he was already afraid. He had followed Zhao Xuan for many years and knew Zhao Xuan very well. He was very sure of his guess. Zhao Xuan asked someone to send him out of the city, not to protect him, but to kill him!

"I must save myself!" Gu Lin thought to himself.

"Mr. Gu, let's go. His Highness asked you to leave the city immediately." The guard urged.

"Okay." Gu Lin nodded calmly. Just after taking a step, he suddenly covered his stomach with a look of pain on his face and said, "My stomach hurts a little. I'll go to the toilet first. You wait here for me. I'll be back soon."

After that, Gu Lin ran towards the toilet.

The guard frowned slightly. He did not listen to Gu Lin's words and waited there. Instead, he followed him. Gu Lin ran while looking behind him with the corner of his eyes. He found that the guard actually followed him and his face was very ugly.

What should I do? What should I do?

Gu Lin kept talking to himself anxiously, but he couldn't think of a good way to get out.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. The guard may have seen that Gu Lin was very cooperative just now, or he felt that the toilet was too smelly, so he did not get too close to the toilet, but just stood far away.

Gu Lin, who hid in the toilet, looked at the personal soldier and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he sneaked out from the other direction of the toilet.

The behavior of this personal soldier also proved that Gu Lin's previous guess was correct. Zhao Xuan definitely asked this personal soldier to kill him, otherwise, he would not have watched him so closely and watched him in the toilet. This also strengthened Gu Lin's determination to escape.

I can't stay in this palace anymore. I must leave as soon as possible!

Gu Lin thought as he ran away.

Zhao Xuan had a murderous intention towards him. If he didn't leave the palace, there would only be one end.

After making this decision, Zhao Xuan ran faster.

The personal soldier who was arranged by Zhao Xuan to kill Gu Lin waited for a long time not far from the toilet and didn't see Gu Lin come out. He felt something was wrong and rushed in immediately without caring about the dirty toilet.

As a result, after entering, he found: no one!

"Damn it!" The personal soldier's face changed drastically. He didn't know where he went wrong, and Gu Lin actually saw it.

However, this is no longer important. Finding Gu Lin is the most important thing. This is what the eldest prince asked him to do. If he fails to do it, he will not be able to report.

After leaving the toilet, the guard did not dare to go back to see Zhao Xuan, so he had to search in the palace.

However, the palace covers a large area. Finding someone in such a large palace, or someone who deliberately avoids him, is like finding a needle in a haystack, or even harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

The result is that he searched for a long time but did not find Gu Lin.

The soldier knew that Gu Lin had probably escaped, and he could not hide the matter any longer, so he had to bite the bullet and go back to report.

"What?!" Zhao Xuan, who had just relaxed after hearing the soldier's reply, stood up in shock, his face full of anger: "You said Gu Lin ran away?!"

"Yes... yes... Your Highness, calm down. I didn't expect him to be so cunning and fell into his trap." The soldier tried his best to explain.

"Waste!" Zhao Xuan picked up the teacup on the table next to him and smashed it at the soldier: "Damn waste!"

The teacup injured the soldier's forehead, and the tea mixed with blood flowed down his forehead. The soldier didn't dare to wipe it off, so he had to keep begging for mercy.

However, Zhao Xuan was an irritable lion at this time, and he would never listen to his explanation.

"Come on! Drag this waste out and beat him to death!" Zhao Xuan roared!

"Your Highness, spare me, Your Highness, spare me!"

The soldier's plea for mercy did not move Zhao Xuan, and the anger on Zhao Xuan's face did not diminish at all.

If possible, Zhao Xuan even wanted to kill this soldier six or seven times, because this waste ruined his big plan!
