C6 Scented Sachet
As she spoke, she took the stone as if it were a precious treasure and prepared to return to her room to prepare.
Lin Yi Rong didn't pay any attention to her rude actions. Instead, she smiled lightly and watched her enter the house.
Soon, when she found the poison in the scented sachet, it would be too late for her, the most beloved person in the entire Yan family!
Lin Yi Rong laughed and turned to leave. He had no idea that his every move had long been watched by someone else.
The evening sunlight weakly slanted into the room. Gu Xi sat at the table, one hand on her cheek, the other playing with the newly made scented sachet. Her thoughts were flying and her mind was filled with thoughts of the Hundred Flowers Festival.
She actually returned to this point of time. Naturally, she couldn't let her father lose his life like this.
But now that she was trapped in the King Yan's Estate, how was she supposed to go out and warn her father? How could he avoid this?
As he was thinking, the light in front of him suddenly dimmed, as if something had suddenly blocked the light of the setting sun.
Gu Xi subconsciously raised her head to look. Suddenly, she saw that familiar handsome face. It was clear and cold, with a cold expression on his face. It was none other than Han Junyao!
"Ah!" Gu Xi was startled and abruptly jumped up from the chair. She grabbed the scented sachet and backed off. "You, when did you come over?!
Even if she did it again, her fear of him was still the same as before.
Han Junyao frowned, looking at her coldly for a long moment before turning his gaze to the object in her hands.
The scented sachet was covered by Gu Xi as if she was holding it in her arms, leaving only the red tassels below.
He wrinkled his brow again and asked in a cool voice, "What are you hiding?"
Gu Xi was stunned for a moment. She glanced at her bosom and immediately reacted. He was asking about the scented sachet that had been placed there.
"Fragrant …" She was about to answer him, but she suddenly reacted. She stared at him warily and took two steps back, "No matter what I'm hiding, it's not for you!"
Han Junyao raised his eyebrows slightly. He continued to stare at her for a few more seconds before finally sitting down on a chair by the side of the table. His eyes were still cold as he stretched out a hand and said, "Come here."
Gu Xi's scalp was slightly numb.
When she was dealing with Lin Yiran, she could still freely change her condition. However, when she faced Han Junyao, she was a little uncertain.
Based on what had happened to her in her previous life, she should continue to hate Han Junyao and think of ways to escape from him.
However, when he thought about how this man had rushed to save her before she died and the severed arm he had chopped off, it seemed that he could no longer hate or resent her as he had in the past.
She had spent the entire night thinking beside the bed, but she still couldn't figure out how she was going to face him after returning to her previous life.
She just stood there in a daze like this, while the person sitting across her suddenly showed some dissatisfaction and stretched out his hand.
An invisible force suddenly pulled Gu Xi over.
"Ah!" The next moment, she was already sitting on Han Junyao's lap.
Gu Xi's spine stiffened. She wanted to stand up and leave, but her hand was suddenly grabbed by the opponent, revealing the light colored scented sachet she was holding.
Han Junyao held her hand and gently lifted the scented sachet from his hand. He brought it to his nose and took a whiff, his brows seemingly relaxed as he commented, "It's very fragrant."
Gu Xi's heart trembled.
He suddenly recalled that when Han Junyao wasn't going crazy, he had been very good to her.
In her previous life, there had been someone else who had killed her. If she could pacify Han Junyao, then he would be her greatest support!
Gu Xi tossed and turned in her mind a few times before she quickly came up with an idea.
She put away the scented sachet in her hand and freed his hand from her grasp. With a proud look on her face, she said, "Of course, this is the spice I chose myself. I made this scented sachet myself. It's naturally very fragrant!"
Han Junyao's expression relaxed as he looked at her arrogant expression. Even the light in his eyes softened a little.
The girl sitting on his lap was still as pleased as before. Her eyes nimbly rolled around as her tone suddenly changed and she leaned over slightly. "You … Do you want it? "
Without waiting for Han Junyao's reply, Gu Xi suddenly moved backwards and continued arrogantly, "If you want it, then promise me one thing. I'll give it to you!"
"Speak." Han Junyan only said one word.
Gu Xi's heart froze for a moment. She didn't expect him to be so straightforward. He answered without even thinking. She quickly came back to her senses. "It'll be the Hundred Flowers Festival in a few days. I want …"
"Hundred Flowers Festival, you want to ask for a marriage alliance?" His voice suddenly turned cold, and even the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
Gu Xi was stunned for a moment before she snapped out of her daze.
Hundred Flowers Festival, also known as Marriage Festival, was a special festival of the Great Zhou Dynasty. On this day, all the unmarried men and women could go to the most famous marriage tree in the Hundred Flowers Forest to ask for their marriage fate.
"Of course not!" Gu Xi hurriedly explained.
If he was misunderstood, not to mention going out on that day, he might even lose half his life.
"I'm going to the Hundred Flowers Festival. I just want to go to the Hundred Flowers Forest to watch the show." Besides, with you by my side, what marriage do I need to ask for? Looking at the entire world, who could be more outstanding than you? If even you and I are not worthy, who in this world would enter my eyes? "
"You don't like me?" Han Junyao's cold voice continued to ring.
"Of course not, I'm just making an analogy with …"
"My Lord!"
Before Gu Xi finished explaining, a sound came from outside the courtyard.
A young man in a suit came in with two guards behind him. With a cold expression on his face, he kneeled down in front of Han Junyao with a serious expression on his face.
Han Junyao was originally waiting for Gu Xi's reply, but was slightly dissatisfied when he was interrupted. His tone turned even colder, "What's the matter?"
The kneeling youth didn't immediately reply. Instead, he glanced at Gu Xi, who was sitting on Han Junyao's lap. His eyes turned even colder, and a trace of suspicion and dissatisfaction appeared on his face.
Gu Xi raised her brows and recognized the young man kneeling on the ground.
One of Han Junyao's most trusted personal guards, Gu Yun!
Yesterday, he was the one who caught her and threw her in front of Han Junyao! Because of this incident in her previous life, she hated him to the core and had even tried to take revenge on him by poisoning him.
"Reporting to my lord, a spy has come to report that a poison has been mixed into a spice and brought into the garden. This poison is extremely toxic, and once it is inhaled, one's life is in danger!" I hope the Lord will allow us to take a look! "
Gu Xi was startled and immediately became vigilant. Gu Yun is from Lin Yi Rong's side?
No, that's not right!
She immediately rejected this notion. In her previous life, Gu Yun was the person Han Junyao trusted the most. He could not possibly be on Lin Yiran's side.
Taking a step back, even if Gu Yun was really Lin Yiran's man, it would only be a loss if he tried to frame her and harm Han Junyao.
In her previous life, she had really poisoned most of Han Junyao's life, and he hadn't even wanted to kill her in the end …
