Gu Chengfeng: "..."
Gu Chengfeng gritted his teeth, "You you you you you... Get out!"
"Oh." Gu Jiao turned around, pulled open the door, and walked out. Just as she stepped past the threshold, she suddenly popped her head back in, "It actually sounds quite nice."
Gu Chengfeng: ...Shut up!
Last time, when impersonating an assassin to frame Mother Cai, Gu Chengfeng had used a voice completely unlike his usual one. At the time, Gu Jiao didn’t think much of it, assuming it was just their high professional standard as thieves, capable of disguising not only their appearance but their voice as well.
But tonight, upon hearing it, this wasn’t just altering his voice a little—he was actually capable of voice impersonation!
"Hey, what other voices can you do?" After Gu Chengfeng came out of the house with a dark face, Gu Jiao asked him.
"That’s it!" Gu Chengfeng replied tersely.
Gu Jiao: "Oh."
Thinking she had given up, Gu Chengfeng was caught off guard when she suddenly spoke up again, "Can you do a loli voice?"
"What about... a mature lady’s voice?"
"A young man’s voice?"
"A queen’s voice?"
Gu Chengfeng stopped and stared at her, perplexed: "Although I have no idea what you’re talking about... when did you become so talkative!"
Isn’t the only little loudspeaker in your family Little Jingkong?
Gu Jiao blinked and indeed stopped pestering him about doing voices, instead, she took out a Copper Plate from her purse and handed it to him.
"What?" Gu Chengfeng asked.
Gu Jiao said, "A tip, for your performance."
Gu Chengfeng: "..."
The two left the Courtyard and strolled along at an easy pace, particularly since the old marquis wasn’t at home, and most of the guards were not around this area either.
As they passed a small wooden hut, Gu Chengfeng said, "Next time you come to find me, could you please give me some warning? Or at least, knock on the door."
Today it was just him taking a bath and singing, but what if one day...
He was a man, after all. There would always be inconvenient times to be caught unawares.
"Oh, like this?" Gu Jiao carelessly raised her hand and knocked on the door of the wooden hut.
Creak—
The door of the hut opened.
Both of them were taken aback, neither expecting someone to actually be inside, much less for the person to be Gu Changqing. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
They were both dressed in night-walking clothes, each holding a mask in their hands.
Upon seeing his elder brother, Gu Chengfeng didn’t hesitate and immediately put on his mask, using his light-foot skills to dash away!
Gu Changqing drew a sharp breath: "Are you crazy? The Dragon Shadow Guard is by her side, approaching her is courting death!"
Gu Jiao blinked and did not speak.
Gu Changqing suddenly felt his anger ebbing away, which was not right, he was still furious: "It’s too dangerous. Don’t do such things alone in the future."
Of course, he could not imagine that Gu Jiao had roped Chengfeng into doing this with her.
Gu Changqing asked, "When did you go?"
Gu Jiao considered, "The day before yesterday?"
Gu Changqing frowned: "Did you alarm her?"
Gu Jiao nodded, "Mhm."
Gu Changqing took another sharp breath. Did this girl realize what she was doing? To have startled her and still managed to come back in one piece, should he say she’s got a big life or just good luck?
Moreover, it had only been a few days, and she had the gall to do it again?
Was this girl’s courage made of steel or what?
Gu Changqing didn’t know what else to say.
He touched his forehead, "It’s too dangerous to go steal the imperial decree now, and she might have moved it... Do you know what imperial decree it is?"
Gu Jiao shook her head, "I didn’t get the chance to see it."
Gu Changqing pondered, "Could it be the one the late emperor issued on his deathbed... an order for Empress Dowager Zhuang to be buried with him?"
