C3 There Was Still Someone Behind Him

The atmosphere in the room became tense, and even the sound of breathing became inaudible.

The shadow loomed over his head, and the smell of blood suddenly drew near, as if someone was about to bend down.

Gu Xi was nervous. She suddenly raised her head to get up, but her lips were covered by something soft.

"Ugh!"

Gu Xi widened her eyes. Han Junyao was also stunned. It was clear that they hadn't expected her to raise her head at this moment. Neither of them had expected the two of them to coincidentally kiss.

It was so soft, it felt like... You don't hate it?

Han Junyao suddenly grabbed the back of her head, deepening the kiss.

"Ugh!" Gu Xi jumped in fright. She extended her hand to push away the person close to her, but when she pushed her hand away, a wave of wetness appeared on her palm.

Was this the wound where the hairpin pierced?

Gu Xi thought about it and didn't dare to move again.

Fortunately, Han Junyao kissed her for a while before letting her go.

"If you dare to run again, don't keep your legs!" The man released her and gave her an unreadable look before turning around and leaving the room.

Gu Xi was still stunned on the spot. She let out a heavy sigh of relief when there was no longer any trace of Han Junyao left in the room.

His aura was too terrifying. Even though she didn't know about this in her previous life, she still dared to go against him. However, after experiencing the fear of almost being killed that day, she didn't dare to have the slightest bit of impudence in front of him anymore.

Even if she were to return to this day now, even if she had carefully avoided the slaughter the day before, the fear hidden deep within her soul would not be absent at all.

Gu Xi sat paralyzed on the ground. She had completely forgotten about his previous kiss.

"Miss, why are you sitting on the ground?" Gu Xi was still sitting on the ground when a sound came from the door.

She turned her head to look and was shocked. "Green Bamboo?"

The maid, who was around thirteen or fourteen years old, came in from outside with a basin of water. When she saw her sorry state, she was both surprised and frightened, "Miss, please get up quickly. The ground is cold. "Lonely Shadow told me that I don't need to stay in this courtyard …"

The girl chattered as she tried to pull Gu Xi up.

Gu Xi stared at her for a long while before she suddenly laughed weakly. "Fortunately, you're still alive …"

A year ago, she had been forcefully captured by Han Junyao and brought into King Yan's Estate. Qingzhu had followed her into King Yan's Estate, and later, she poisoned Han Junyao before finally escaping from the mansion. However, Qingzhu had died in the King's Estate a while ago.

"Hmm? Why did Miss suddenly say that? " Green Bamboo supported her, confused.

Gu Xi shook her head as she looked at herself. Compared to her previous life, which she had almost lost her life in, she was very, very lucky.

"It's fine. Prepare hot water for me, I want to take a bath!"

"Oh, okay. Please wait a moment." The green bamboo nodded and quickly withdrew.

Not long after, hot water was prepared in the ear room.

Gu Xi went in and washed herself thoroughly while thinking back to what had happened all these years ago.

In his previous life, Han Junyao had imprisoned her in the Yan King Manor for four whole years. During this time, she was not allowed to leave the Manor even half a step.

Even until now, she still didn't understand why Han Junyao had imprisoned her by his side. He had said that he was tying her up as a concubine, and with his status, there was no need to secretly capture her. He could just ask the Southern Marquis Manor for her.

Her father was only a concubine son of the Southern Marquis Estate, and his position was that of a field officer. He couldn't refuse the request of a dignified first stage King Yan at all.

That was why Han Junyao had gone crazy and kept her by his side. Why? Afterwards, why did he still rush over to save her when he knew that Jing Wang was using her as a bait?

Thinking back to his previous life, Gu Xi couldn't help clutching her chest.

She was poisoned by King Jing, and the poison died in the end. Then what about Han Junyao? Would he be able to escape with one of his hands cut off and under the siege of so many people?

As she thought of this, a faint pain rose in her chest, and she tightened her grip.

"Miss, Miss Lin is here." Green Bamboo's voice came from behind the screen.

"Miss Lin …" Lin Yi Rong? " Gu Xi was slightly startled, but then a trace of killing intent flashed through her eyes.

Lin Yiran was the eldest daughter of General Lin's family, her best friend in her previous life. It was all thanks to her that she was so stupid as to plant a garden full of lily in the yard and light a incense burner in the room.

Hehe, back then, she was still thankful for Han Junyao's actions. It was only after she had learned how to differentiate poisons that she found out that she was being sinister and wanted her to anger Han Junyao so that she could die.

In her previous life, after she found out about everything, she wanted to settle some debts, but Lin Yi Rong had been taken care of first. Furthermore, she died in an extremely miserable manner! At that time, she had vaguely discovered that there was someone behind Lin Yirong …

"Yes, she is waiting for you outside the courtyard." The green bamboo did not notice the oddity in her voice.

"Oh, if you want her to stay where she is, I'll go out and see her right away." Gu Xi replied, still lying in the bath barrel without moving.

"Yes." The bamboo responded.

Gu Xi continued to soak in the water for another quarter of an hour. After the water became completely cold, she slowly dried her body and changed into a new set of clothes.

Unlike her previous life, this body wasn't covered in poison from studying poisons, nor was it afflicted by any serious injuries caused by Han Junyao's mistreatment.

She was still healthy and full of life.

"Miss Lin, Miss Lin wants this servant to ask you, when will you be ready?" Green Bamboo's voice once again rang out from behind the screen.

In such a short amount of time, he couldn't wait any longer?

Gu Xi curled the corner of her lips, tidied up her clothes, and walked out from the screen. "Let's go. Lin Yi Rong's probably already anxious from waiting."

"Yes." "Yes." Green Bamboo replied as she looked at her young mistress with a strange expression. She did not understand why she was so slow to swallow today. In the past, when he heard that Miss Lin had arrived, he had always been eager to rush up to her.

Gu Xi ignored the maidservant's doubt.

Outside the main house, what entered was a courtyard full of lily grasses swaying in the wind. And outside of these swaying lily grasses, was a beautiful figure standing gracefully under a tree, like a gentle breeze caressing the willow, graceful and graceful.

She watched from afar, the smile on her face grew even colder. As her gaze landed on the lily flowers that were all over the courtyard, her brows lightly knitted, and she suddenly said: "Green Bamboo! Get someone to take away all the plants in the yard, I want to trade for some flowers and plants! "

"Huh?" Green Bamboo was stunned.

"Ah what? I said it, but you didn't hear me! " Gu Xi glanced over.

"Oh, yes, yes. The green bamboo will be handled immediately." The maidservant was frightened by her gaze and hurriedly responded. Although he didn't understand why the Miss would suddenly issue such an order, he still carried it out very quickly.

Gu Xi watched her leave before she slowly walked towards the person standing under the tree.
