Chapter 35: The Choice

The maid in front slowed down, turned around slowly, and looked at Gu Zhaoyan.

Gu Zhaoyan also stopped, looked around, and was actually taken by her to a dilapidated small courtyard, a pool of lotus flowers because no one had taken care of it for a long time.

There are only a handful of lotus flowers in bloom, a thick layer of duckweed floating on the water, and green moss lazily sticking around the pool.

The whole pool is indescribably dark and dirty.

Gu Zhaoyan clasped his hands and said in a slightly cold voice, "Are you willing to stop?" ”

The maid seemed a little surprised, "You know everything! ”

Gu Zhaoyan said quietly, "Do you want to keep it for drinking Meng Po soup and then know?" ”

The maid smiled, "You know what, anyway, today, you can't hide!" ”

Gu Zhaoyan sneered, "If I wanted to hide, I wouldn't have come here at all." ”

"But you're really bold enough to do it today!"

The maid seemed to have never seen anyone who was dying, and she was so calm, as if discussing with her what the scenery was like here.

The maid did not hesitate any longer, and reached out to grab her. "Miss Yan, I'm sorry! That's it, I won't torture you anymore! I started fast. ”

Gu Zhaoyan was startled, he was still a martial arts person, and he flashed sideways, dodging her hand.

As soon as the blow missed, the maid made several moves in a row, and the attack became more and more urgent, and Gu Zhaoyan felt that he seemed to be a little physically exhausted.

The maid seemed to be a little surprised that Gu Zhaoyan could still hold out until now under her tight attack, without touching her body in a single move.

The corners of Gu Zhaoyan's lips hooked up a disdainful smile, "Didn't the person who instructed you tell you that I came from Guiqi Mountain!" ”

It was precisely because she knew that she was from Guiqi Mountain, so she was even more sure that she didn't know martial arts, after all, Guiqi Mountain was famous for her medical skills.

As if to answer her doubts, Gu Zhaoyan continued, "Who said that the people of Guiqi Mountain must only know medical skills!" ”

Reaching out to remove the hairpin, he tapped his toes lightly, and his clothes fluttered, and stabbed straight at the side of her neck.

The moment the hairpin punctured her carotid artery, Gu Zhaoyan stopped, and warm blood spurted out, splashing her white clothes and her cheeks.

She was a little confused, she didn't plan to hurt her, but she just made a false move, wanting to scare her, let her flash her mind, and take the opportunity to click on her acupoint.

But she didn't expect her to suddenly turn sideways, and her hairpin pierced directly into her carotid artery!

Seeing that she was stunned, the maid barely evoked a mocking smile, "What's the matter, Miss Yan can't see blood?" ”

Gu Zhaoyan grabbed the hairpin, didn't pull it out, and looked at her, "Don't you think about telling me the reason?" ”

The maid snorted, "Tell you, you'll let me go!" ”

Gu Zhaoyan shook the hairpin's hand and paused, "I haven't killed anyone, you and I have no reason to kill, so don't force me." ”

The maid sneered, "I didn't have it before, but now I don't have it." ”

"Since you don't say it now, then go and say it in front of Gu Xiang!" There was a sound behind him.

Gu Zhaoyan paused, let go of the hand holding the hairpin, and turned around. Su-hee stepped forward and pulled her to his side.

took out a snow-white square scarf and carefully wiped her blood-stained cheeks and hands.

Gu Zhaoyan watched his movements, and stopped talking a little.

Su Xi didn't look at her, turned his head to the maid and said, "Since you failed, you naturally know the consequences!" ”

The maid raised her hand and was about to pierce the hairpin deeper into the artery, but Gu Zhaoyan stretched out her hand to stop her.

The maid was a little surprised, and then closed her eyes, "Miss Yan wants to do it herself, then come!" ”

Gu Zhaoyan looked at her face, stretched out her hand and slowly held the hairpin, time seemed to stand still!

Shu Xi stood quietly behind her, and I don't know how long it took, Gu Zhaoyan's hand moved and pulled out the hairpin.

At the same time, he quickly clicked a few times on several acupuncture points of the maid.

As soon as the maid's body was weak, she leaned on Gu Zhaoyan's body, and Risheng stepped forward and took the maid over.

Gu Zhaoyan shook off her sore hand, "She won't be able to die for a while." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Xi's eyes, "You save her." ”

Gu Zhaoyan turned around and smiled, "Yes, I saved her, but she won't necessarily be alive!" ”

Su Xi looked at her, her eyes revealing a touch of distress, "You want to save her." ”

Gu Zhaoyan looked at his eyes for a long time, "I thought about killing her, because, whether she hurt me or not, she will die!" ”

She walked to the edge of the pool and looked at the lotus flowers in bloom in the pool, "But I am a healer, even if I know that she is guilty, even if I know that she will die in the next moment, but at this moment, I can't watch her fold in my hands." ”

Shu Xi walked towards Gu Zhaoyan and stood next to her, "If you want to save her, you still have a chance." ”

Gu Zhaoyan shook his head, "I was curing the disease, she made a mistake, I won't forgive her for her mistake just because I saved her!" ”

Su Xi nodded and nodded to Risheng, Risheng naturally understood what she meant, and dragged the maid out half-hugging and half-dragging.

After a long time, Gu Zhaoyan gently spit out a sentence, "Your Highness thinks that this move is cruel?" ”

Su Xi gently held her hand, but found that her hand was colder than his, and couldn't help but tighten.

"No, you're doing the right thing, no one else will do it better than you, including me!"

Gu Zhaoyan raised his eyes, looked at their clasped hands, and smiled, "Your Highness, is this a compliment to me!" ”

Su Xi said gently, "Yes! ”

Gu Zhaoyan put away his thoughts and smiled at him, "It made His Highness smile." ”

Quietly twitched his hand, but found that he couldn't pull it.

Su Xi held her hand, didn't let go at all, and smiled, "I'm your insider, so naturally I didn't say anything about laughing." ”

Gu Zhaoyan listened to the word insider again, and she felt that the word intuition was definitely not so simple.

The last time she came back, she forgot about this stubble, this time she must ask Risheng what the insider means.

And now, of course, she chose to make herself comfortable, and was about to turn around and find a place to sit. But suddenly there was a flower in front of him, his body was soft, and his feet slipped, and he was about to be planted in the pool in front of him.

She didn't have a good impression of this pool, which was far worse than the small lake in Guiqi Mountain.

She suddenly remembered that Su Xi was still holding her hand, and she was about to let go of her hand, but she felt that someone was pulling her back.

Her leaning body changed to one side and fell, and the people under her snorted.

Gu Zhaoyan opened her eyes, only to find that Su Xi had once again been her cushion.

But it's no better than the carriage, which smashed straight into the hard ground, and it was still combined with her strength.

Gu Zhaoyan hurriedly got up, put his hand behind Su Xi's head, and half-helped him up.

One hand held his shoulders in place, and the other hand scrutinized the ground for him.
