Chapter 17: The Antidote
With a "bang", the tall man in front of him fell to the ground fiercely.
Gu Shuiyue's forehead was already covered with a layer of sweat. When she returned from the dinner, she knew it wasn't going to be good. In terms of martial arts, she is obviously not Gu Jingfan's opponent, so she can only outwit.
The so-called outwitting, poisoning is one of the methods.
When she was still Gu Tianlan, as the master of the harem and the general of Zhenguo, she saw a lot of people, and she was often poisoned, which also had a great impact on this poison.
The poison she put on Gu Jingfan's body, the method of poisoning is not difficult, it is very simple to poison and detoxify for those who understand, and for those who don't understand, this is a rare poison. Gu Shuiyue quenched this poison on a needle, but it was a difficult problem to pierce this needle into Gu Jingfan's body. She knew that people like Gu Jingfan were extremely stubborn, she couldn't convince him at all, what she just said was just to distract Gu Jingfan's attention, and take advantage of his unpreparedness to pierce the needle into Gu Jingfan's arm. The toxin quickly spread throughout his body, and Gu Jingfan fainted.
When she said those words just now, Gu Jingfan was distracted, which showed that this stubborn stone was not hopeless.
Gu Jingfan fell to the ground, but this matter was far from over.
Soon, there was a sound of footsteps, as if many people were walking towards this place.
"Gu Shuiyue, you demon girl, what did you do to Jing Fan?"
Many people were holding torches, and it was the master of the Gu Mansion who walked in the front - Gu Qian. Gu Qian looked at the son he had given everyone hope lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and looked at Gu Shuiyue with cracked eyes, as if he wanted to swallow her.
Under the firelight, Gu Shuiyue's face turned even whiter, and she stood there wearing a white robe, revealing a strange ethereal inspiration.
Gu Shuiyue's gaze fell on Gu Qian's body: "Did you just remember now that I was a demon girl, he was going to kill me, didn't you connive at all this?"
The Lin family instigated Gu Jingfan to kill her, but Gu Qian did not stop it, he was conniving. Gu Shuiyue didn't expect that she was already such a big thorn in Gu Qian's eyes, and even sacrificed her son's career.
Gu Qian glared at Gu Shuiyue angrily: "Come on, arrest this demon girl for me!"
In just one month, Gu Shuiyue's position in the Gu Mansion has changed from a dispensable fool to a demon girl that everyone fears. Gu Qian's words fell, and the rest of the people hesitated, no one dared to be the first person.
Gu Qian's eyes were on fire: "Is the money in the Gu Mansion enough to raise you waste? Since you are so useless, why are you still staying in the Gu Mansion?"
Hearing this, those people surrounded and arrested Gu Shuiyue.
said that it was arrested, but Gu Shuiyue actually did not resist at all. She was locked up in a firewood room, and a group of people outside guarded her.
Gu Shuiyue looked at the furnishings of the firewood room, a wooden bed, a table, a stool, and nothing else. Still, the room was much better than the one she had just woken up in.
Gu Shuiyue lay down on the plank bed.
Although it was cold at night, her current mental method had reached the first level, and she could ward off the cold. Gu Shuiyue closed her eyes, and her internal force walked along the blood veins, and her body gradually warmed up.
Gu Shuiyue slept soundly in the firewood room, but for Gu Qian and the Lin family, it was a sleepless night.
Gu Jingfan was lying on the bed, unconscious, the doctor came and went, Gu Qian even went to invite the imperial doctor in the palace, but he only saw that Gu Jingfan was poisoned, but he couldn't see what poison he was.
"Is this a good idea you have in mind?" Gu Qian looked at the Lin family, his eyes were completely cold, "Lin Yeru, you really impress me!"
Lin's face was as white as paper, and he looked at Gu Jingfan on the bed in a daze.
She didn't expect Gu Shuiyue to be so powerful, and even Gu Jingfan was injured. The hand on her lap clenched into a fist, her nails embedded in the flesh, but she seemed to be unaware.
"The concubine didn't expect Gu Shuiyue to be so bold......"
"What's the use of you talking about this now? The Gu family is in decline, the Gu family has not had a capable child for a long time, and now I am the only one in the court in a high position. Without help, in a high position, it is unbearable to be cold in a high place, and now it is like walking on thin ice, and if you are not careful, you may fall to pieces. Jing Fan is the most promising among the children, can be literary and martial, if there is no accident, next year's Spring Festival, whether it is a literary test or a martial arts test, Jing Fan can be named on the gold list. That's when the children of my Gu family came to prominence. Now, Jing Fan is injured like this...... "The more Gu Qian thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, and the more unpleasant he looks at the Lin family."
He snorted, as if he didn't want to stay in the room any longer, and turned away.
After Gu Qian left, the Lin family sat at Gu Jingfan's bedside and stared at him.
Her face had long since lost the panic and uneasiness she had just felt in front of Master Gu, but with a slight smile.
Her hatred for Gu Shuiyue has fallen into a paranoid situation, and she wants Gu Shuiyue to die - even if it ruins the Gu family, it doesn't matter.
It is good that Gu Jingfan can kill Gu Shuiyue, but if it doesn't, then use Gu Jingfan's life in exchange for Gu Shuiyue's catastrophe.
No matter what the Lin family thought, Gu Qian couldn't let Gu Jingfan die. Now that he regrets his death, he shouldn't have connived at the Lin family's schemes, and finally ended up losing the child and not being able to trap the wolf.
"What exactly did you do to Jing Fan?"
When Gu Shuiyue opened her eyes, she saw that Prime Minister Gu Cheng, who was high above, was actually standing in the firewood room with condescension.
"Gu Jingfan is a master of Shuoyun, what can I do to him as a weak woman?" Gu Shuiyue said.
The nineteen-year-old girl still has a childish look on her face, her pointed chin looks a little immature and cute, and her eyes are also watery, and she looks really simple and harmless. But at this time, if Gu Qian still believed that the person in front of him was a weak woman, then he would be a fool.
The more colorful the flowers, the more poisonous, and the more beautiful the woman, the more ruthless.
"Gu Shuiyue, if Jing Fan can't live, you definitely don't want to live. If you kill Jing Fan, you will cut off the Gu family's way of life, and then I will have nothing to fear. Prime Minister Gu had a fierce expression on his face.
Although Gu Qian is a civil servant, he has been in officialdom for many years, and he has extraordinary momentum, and his angry appearance is very terrifying.
Gu Shuiyue was not afraid of him: "I don't have one life, but the Gu family is a family, exchange my life for the luck of the entire Gu family, this deal is very cost-effective." ”
Gu Shuiyue looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, Gu Qian was so angry with him that he could only swallow the fire alive, and said softly: "Shuiyue, what are you talking about? Your surname is Gu, and you are also from the Gu family." The luck of the Gu family is related to your fate. You have a marriage contract with King Yun, and when you stay in King Yun's mansion, it is not only by relying on King Yun's favor that you can gain a foothold in King Yun's mansion, but more about the power of your mother's family. Your mother's power is strong, King Yun will favor you, and you can be a good princess in King Yun's mansion. ”
Gu Qian can be called a must in the face changing world, the ferocity just now disappeared, and his face was gentle. As he spoke, he looked at Gu Shuiyue's face, and when he saw her eyes moving slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time sneered. But a nineteen-year-old woman, no matter how smart and transparent, can't fight him.
Gu Qian continued to say softly: "Shui Yue, I know that you have been haunted by your mother's death, but this has passed, Qingyu is dead, the third aunt is also crazy, and you have also avenged your mother." You and the Gu family are one, if the Gu family is prosperous, you will be prosperous, and if the Gu family is declining, you will be declining. Do you know why the father is running so much for the glory and decline of the Gu family? Part of this is so that the daughter of the Gu family can rely on her and will not be bullied in her husband's family. ”
Gu Tianlan is the queen, and she has seen many faces along the way, but it is the first time she has seen such a shameless one, who can speak of her selfishness so high-sounding, and can wear the mask of hypocrisy so flawlessly.
Even Gu Tianlan in his previous life, facing Gu Qian at this time, was very likely to be moved by him.
But she has gone through two lives and knows that the most terrible thing in this world is the human heart. She had seen Gu Qian's cruelty, and she had also seen his ruthlessness. Gu Qingyu is his favorite daughter, but he can talk about Gu Qingyu's death so easily, and even use her death as a bargaining chip, which shows that his love is based on the bargaining chips in his favor.
Gu Qian said: "Shui Yue, Jing Fan is your brother, maybe there is some misunderstanding between you, when he wakes up, I will arrange for you to reconcile, and in the future, he will protect you thoroughly." ”
Gu Shuiyue seemed to be moved: "Gu Jingfan is a poison, but this poison is not incurable, the antidote is the blue blood lotus." ”
"Blood Lotus. ”
When Gu Qian heard this word, his expression relaxed. It's not because this blue blood lotus is rare, in fact, this blue blood lotus is very precious, and there are only two in the whole world.
Fortunately, one of them was in the Gu Mansion, in the hands of the Lin family.
The Lin family has been a family of medical practitioners for generations, and Lin's father and brother are both imperial doctors.
The Blue Blood Lotus is a family heirloom of the Lin family. This rare blue blood lotus was sent to the Gu Mansion as the Lin family's dowry. In other words, the antidote is in Lin's hands.
Although Gu Jingfan couldn't move or open his eyes, his consciousness was always clear, and the conversation outside reached his ears word for word.
He knew from the words of the subordinates who served him that he had been poisoned, and the antidote was the Blue Blood Lotus.
When he heard the news, he was overjoyed. The antidote is in his mother's hand, and his mother loves him so much, she will definitely let him take the antidote without hesitation.
When he wakes up, he will definitely not be in the way of Gu Shuiyue's demon girl again, he will definitely make Gu Shuiyue pay the price for what she did!
The only thing he couldn't figure out was why Gu Shuiyue would poison him in the Gu Mansion with such an antidote. He thought of Gu Shuiyue's words before he fell into a coma, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
