Chapter 243: You Don't Owe Me Anything
Zhong Liyu and Zhong Liyou were in a stalemate, Gu Li stood aside, not to go, not to go.
After a long time, Zhong Liyu retreated first.
She put down the hilt of the sword she was holding tightly in her hand, her eyes trembling with tears in her eyes, and she looked at Zhong Liyu.
She didn't understand why he would risk his life to save this person who shouldn't have survived. For her sake, he also betrayed his teacher's life, and he was not afraid of taking on the charge of "bullying the teacher and destroying his ancestors".
Is it worth it? For what?
Zhong Liyu departed suddenly, and her aqua-blue robe was lifted by the evening breeze, enveloping her thin and lonely figure.
After she left, Zhong Liyu also let go of the sword in his hand.
"Boom", the bloodstained sword fell to the ground.
Zhong Liyu lowered his hand and turned to leave. From the time he came to the time he left, from beginning to end, he didn't look at Gu Li.
"Wait a minute." Gu Li stopped him.
Zhong Liyu stopped, but didn't look back.
"Your wound ......" Gu Li blinked, "I'll bandage you." ”
Even if it was an irrelevant stranger, Gu Li would not see him hurt and ignore it. What's more, he was injured because he saved her.
Zhong Liyu's straight figure stood in the wind, and his indifferent voice replied with two words: "No need." ”
After speaking, he took another step.
Gu Li looked at his back in a daze, and suddenly said loudly: "You don't owe me anything." ”
Zhong Liyu's footsteps were sluggish, but he didn't stop. The figure shrouded in twilight was thin and thin, and the sleeves of his robe were windy, fading away from Gu Li's sight.
At first, Gu Li didn't understand why Zhong Liyou suddenly wanted to kill her, but gradually, she understood.
It must be because Zhong Liyou knew about the relationship between her and Yan Qing, so he wanted to kill her. Xianyun Mountain and Yan Qing are old enemies, but Yan Qing is too powerful, and the best way to get rid of him is to kill her first.
Zhong Liyou wanted to kill her, for the sake of his teacher's life, for the sake of the common people in the world, and the reason was justified and irrefutable.
However, Zhong Liyu did not hesitate to turn against his brother and sister, did not hesitate to disobey his teacher's orders, and even risked his own safety, to save her.
What is he for?
Gu Liwu stood there, his thoughts disturbed.
It wasn't the first time Zhong Liyu had let her go, when he was in Nanzhou, he let her go twice, and even gave up the perfect opportunity to get rid of Yan Qing because of her. Now in Changning, he saved her again.
She had saved him, but he had already paid it off, and he didn't owe her anything.
The two are enemies on the surface, a life-and-death relationship. But Gu Li knew that Zhong Liyu would not kill her. It is precisely because of this that she will become more and more dazed, more and more overwhelmed, and more and more unsure of how to face him.
In all fairness, Zhong Liyu is not a bad person. On the contrary, he is clean and clear, compassionate, and has a clear sense of grievances.
Yan Qing is right, he is too clean, and this purity is likely to become a shackle on himself.
Gu Li stood there alone, until it was dark around her, and then she took another step and left here.
After going back, Yan Qing had already set up dinner and was waiting for her to come back while cutting the lanterns.
Seeing this scene, unexpectedly, a warm feeling suddenly surged in Gu Li's heart.
"Late to come back today?" Yan Qing's voice was gentle, but in a questioning tone.
Gu Li didn't tell him about meeting Zhong Liyu and Zhong Liyou on the road, but replied: "Before leaving, a patient suddenly came, and I was delayed for a while." ”
Yan Qing doesn't believe it, there are not many patients in the spring hall recently. But instead of breaking it, he called out to her and told her to hurry up and eat.
"I went to Yahang at noon today, and I haven't found a suitable house for the time being, so I can only stay with you for a few more days." While eating, Gu Li said to him.
Yan Qing smiled slightly: "Welcome at any time." ”
He hadn't planned to let her go, and the change was coming, so it was safer to keep her by his side. Ignoring these words, he would not tell her.
"Let's enter the palace tomorrow, I have to go sooner or later, and I can't drag it out day by day." Gu Li sighed and said again.
Sooner or later, I have to face Gu Zhilan, and there is nothing to delay.
This time, Yan Qing didn't stop her again, and responded lightly: "Hmm." ”
No need to stop her, she won't be able to go tomorrow.
Because of Zhong Liyu and Zhong Liyu's affairs, Gu Li was in a bad mood, and after dinner, she went to bed early.
However, in the middle of the night, she was suddenly awakened by the sound of a bell ringing.
The bell was dull, and in the quiet and silent night, it was so penetrating that it turned out to be a death knell.
Gu Li listened carefully and counted silently in her heart.
One, two, three...... Eight, nine.
Nine times, the death knell of the emperor!
Gu Li was stunned for a moment, the emperor of the Yue Kingdom, died?
The residual poison in the emperor's body has been removed, and Mei Zhiyan said that he is in good health. Not long ago, when the epidemic subsided, the emperor gave her a reward. A few days ago, he also sent someone to Chunhui Hall to invite her into the palace to diagnose Concubine Lan.
The emperor was obviously in good health and well-behaved, why did he suddenly die?
To say that there is no conspiracy here, Gu Li does not believe it.
But this kind of thing, she lives far away from the rivers and lakes, and she can't reach it at all. Therefore, after being stunned, Gu Li put it down.
However, the emperor died, and such a big thing happened in the palace, she must not be able to enter the palace again tomorrow.
When he woke up the next day, there was nothing unusual in Yan Qing's house, except for the white flags hanging at the door.
Yan Qing got up early and made breakfast early.
"The emperor died?" Before Gu Li ate, he asked.
"Hmm," Yan Qing responded, adding, "You don't have to go out." ”
"Why?" Gu Li was puzzled.
"When the emperor dies, all markets will be closed for seven days to show mourning." Yan Qing replied.
Gu Li nodded, so it was.
If she had known this, she wouldn't have had to get up so early today.
"How did the emperor die?" Gu Li was still curious and asked this question.
Yan Qing raised his eyes slightly and looked at her.
"Sick and dead."
"What disease?" Gu Li became more and more curious.
What was it that could kill him overnight? Not long ago, Mei Zhiyan clearly told her that the emperor was in good health and had no symptoms.
"I don't know." Yan Qing didn't tell her again.
"Yes", Gu Li didn't ask any further, "You're not in front of you, how can you possibly know what's wrong." ”
After speaking, she sighed again: "It's really impermanent." ”
In this world, no one knows what will happen tomorrow.
Yan Qing took her words and said, "So, should we have fun in time and do something happy?" ”
Gu Li chuckled lightly and didn't look at him: "What are you doing?" ”
"What do you say?" Yan Qing threw the question to her.
"I don't know." Gu Li smiled again.
After breakfast, Yan Qing really took her to do something. I don't know if I'm happy or not, but Gu Li is speechless, it's true. Take a hundred plating, and read the latest chapter of "Crossing Me and Being Tricked Again" for free reading for the first time.
