C2 Taking poison

followed behind Xiao Yixiu and entered the bridal room, closing the door behind them.

"Actually, you did it on purpose, right?" Gu Qingli went straight to the point and stared at Xiao Yixiu.

Xiao Yixiu took out another piece of kernel from nowhere, coughed lightly, and rolled his eyes. "What did Princess Wang Fei say, this king does not understand."

If you did not intentionally relax your guard, would I have arrived at the prince Mu's mansion so easily before? "" Yes, I did.

Xiao Yixiu stared at her, his lips slowly curved into a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Esteemed wangfei, it's not a good thing to be too smart a woman for This King. This King prefers obedient women." His voice was light and elegant, filled with a trace of chilliness. A woman who dared to read his mind was a threat if she stayed by his side.

She discovered that Xiao Yixiu's gaze was fluctuating, a trace of undetectable killing intent flashed past her!

Did he begin to doubt her identity?

Gu Qingli quickly determined that this King Mo was not moving very well. His divine light was dim, his armor bed was slightly green, and his breathing was shallow.

However, his mind was very profound. If he really wanted to kill someone, he might as well strike first to gain the upper hand!

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had developed from exchanging glances to exchanging killing intent.

Gu Qingli suddenly took a step forward, and used his finishing move, aiming straight for Xiao Yixiu's chest. However, she soon discovered that this body was not as fast or as fast as she wanted it to be.

Following the sound of the broken windows, three more black-clothed shadow guard s silently appeared in the room and attacked her at the same time.

Very quickly, the bound Gu Qingli was brought in front of him.

"Kneel!"

After shadow guard raised his leg and kicked her in her leg, she had no choice but to kneel down.

"There's no need to be so rough with the princess." Xiao Yixiu waved his hand lightly, and the three shadow guard s disappeared from the house as if they had arrived.

He leaned forward and sat down in the chair in front of her. He put out his forefinger to feel her chin and looked at it with interest, his dark eyes unwavering and unfathomable.

Right now, he was not in a hurry to get rid of her. The Gu Qingli in front of him was obviously a big problem, the agility and decisiveness in the previous battle had left him with a whole new level of respect.

"Speak, who are you?" When he placed his finger on her, from the feel of his skin, he could already tell that she did not wear a human skin mask, nor did she use a Disguise Pill.

"I am Gu Qingli, the direct daughter of Prime Minister Gu Chaoran."

"Prime Minister Gu's training is not bad. The wangfei has good skills." Xiao Yixiu raised his brows, and the tail of his eyes curved slightly. If not for that clear and emotionless gaze, Gu Qingli would have been completely captivated by his smile.

However, she was very clear that this elegant and refined man in front of her only had a good-looking face, and his bones were blacker than anyone else.

"When my deceased mother was still alive, she had hired a master for me. She taught me martial arts for a while, but it was just a flowery martial arts training."

"Your father did not mention this to This King."

"He doesn't care about me." She had deduced this from the fact that her original body had been forced to marry her. Seeing how this Prince Mo was only half alive and her original body had gone over to the scumbag on their wedding night, it was clear that she could not be pampered by her father.

Judging from Xiao Yixiu's noncommittal expression, she knew that he was right.

His fingers slid slowly down her chin, and she felt her throat tighten as his fingers closed around her. His eyes grew darker and darker, and she could not catch a hint of emotion.

"As long as you promise to let me live, I won't say a word about what happened tonight." It was difficult for her to breathe as she struggled to speak. At this moment, it was more important for her to stay alive. This man was really going to kill her!

"But This King feels that it's safer to be dead." His smile deepened.

"A dead wangfei is of no use to you, and you even have to spend your energy to explain it to your royal father. If your Three Emperors were to add insult to injury at a time like this, it would actually be difficult for you to deal with her, right?"

"Huh?"

Xiao Yixiu looked at her without batting an eyelid, and the two of them looked at each other, as though sparks were about to appear in the air.

Actually, this wangfei was quite interesting, wasn't she? Xiao Yixiu thought as he slowly took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and poured a pill into his palm.

"Swallow it, and let This King see the sincerity in your surrender."

She immediately sneered in her heart. Poison? I'm afraid there aren't many poisons in this world that she can't cure? However, she did not immediately agree. If she was wild with joy, it was hard to avoid him seeing that something was amiss.

She thought about it for a long time, then lowered her head and swallowed the pill with a heavy expression on her face.

Because her hands were tied, the pill was small and slippery, and swallowing it was difficult. The tip of her tongue inadvertently touched his palm, leaving behind a bit of wetness.

Xiao Yixiu's face tensed up subtly for a moment, but she did not notice it.

"Sleep by yourself tonight."

He didn't even look at her again, flicking his sleeves and walking away. He didn't even untie her hands.

Bastard Xiao Yixiu, sooner or later I will also tie you up as a dumpling! She cursed inwardly.

Fortunately, this wasn't too difficult for her. Given enough time, she was able to quickly untie herself.

Rubbing her wrist, which had a different blood circulation, she began to build up her pulse. Then she checked the look in her eyes and determined the poison.

Detoxicating the poison wasn't difficult at all. Just a few rare medicinal herbs were difficult to obtain.

Thinking about Xiao Yixiu's illness, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

His illness was obviously incurable. From his cold face and the sound of him coughing, he must have been afflicted with some sort of strange poison that corroded his heart and lungs.

If she could treat him, not only could she control his life vein, she could also use the power of the manor to gather the required medicines. It was truly a two sided plan.

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but snicker. She felt that she really was extremely quick-witted.

What she didn't know was that Xiao Yixiu was sulking at the moment, and had ordered his men to go to the Prime Minister's Estate to find out more about the wangfei's past.

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Qingli was woken up by the sound of the door opening.

Looking at Xiao Yixiu who was slowly walking in, she said coldly: "Isn't the prince being a bit too casual, you don't even need to knock on the door when entering?"

Xiao Yixiu raised his brows slightly, "This king is in his own mansion, and has entered his own room, why would I knock on his door?"

Gu Qingli was unable to refute her, and replied coldly. "Your highness won't intentionally come back to see your wangfei getting dressed, will you?"

"This King has only come to remind the wangfei to dress up well so that she can enter the palace later." He casually sat down on the seat facing her. "Is there even a need to watch an imperial concubine dress up ?" "Not interested."

His next sentence made her want to die even more. "Last night, Imperial Concubine revealed even more of her new costume. This king has already seen it."

Gu Qingli closed his eyes for a moment, and in his heart, he minced him a bit. Then, with an expressionless face, he lifted up his blanket, put on his clothes, and washed his face in front of him.

Wasn't it because he liked it? Letting him see it for himself wasn't as if he wasn't wearing anything.

When he was drawing his eyebrows with the brush, Gu Qingli was stunned.

She knew everything, except that she had never used a brush before. Furthermore, the brush used to sweep her eyebrows was really thin and small. She had no idea how to hold it in her hands at all. Use this on your face... Would he draw Zhang Feimei? Staring at the vermicelli in front of her, she steeled herself and dipped a little.

"Esteemed wangfei's eyebrows ?" Are you drawing a pig's head? " His indifferent tone was laced with obvious mockery.

Xiao Yixiu slowly walked forward, took the kernel and carefully wiped away the two brooms she drew, then raised her eyebrow pencil and gently swept it across her bow. She unconsciously closed her eyes.

At such a close distance, she could smell the faint medicinal aroma on his body, and even his warm and cool breath. She subconsciously felt uncomfortable and wanted to retreat.

"Don't move."

His cold voice seemed to have an invisible force, causing her neck to stiffen. She only needed to lift her foot and place it back down.

"Are you done?" For so long she had begun to wonder what he had painted on her face.

His voice was still as cold as water. He picked up the mirror and looked at her. "Open your eyes."

Gu Qingli was stunned for a moment when she looked at the mirror. This distant mountain brow was filled with comfort and emotion, causing her eyes to shine like the stars. She momentarily forgot to refute the question about pigs.

Following that, he casually flung the brush aside and habitually wiped his hands with a piece of kernel, leaving it behind.

Was she crazy? If she touched someone, she would wipe their hands. Was she a pile of sh * t?
