It was a petite and agile figure, holding a foot-long sharp knife in her hand. The cold moonlight reflected a blurry light.
She gently jumped into the room and walked straight to the bed. It was obvious that she was very familiar with the layout here.
Yue Li frowned slightly and slowed down her footsteps and breathing. She gripped her dagger tightly and quietly leaned over. When the man let out a surprised cry, she raised the dagger and stabbed it into his back.
The other party would definitely not be able to dodge his swift movements. However, this person's sensitivity was really beyond her expectations. At the critical moment, he forcefully shifted his body to the side and the knife stabbed her arm.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them exchanged blows several times. Yueli's body was like a flood dragon, and her killing intent was awe-inspiring. The other party was injured again, and in the end, she stomped him to the ground.
He lit the lamp and took off her mask. It was an unfamiliar woman." Who sent you?”
"If you want to kill, then kill. Why waste your breath!" The woman gave Yueli a disdainful glance." I didn't expect you to still have some skills. Looks like the rumors outside are wrong. You're a person who pretends to be a pig to eat a tiger.”
Tsk, you're still a quick-witted fellow. Yueli bent down and stomped hard on her chest with her foot." It's not easy to die in my place. It's not up to you if you don't want to tell the truth!”
After saying that, she took out a black pill and stuffed it into her mouth. She patted her neck and chest and swallowed it.
"What did you feed me?" The woman was finally a little scared, and her face turned pale.
Yueli didn't want to waste her breath on her. She only sneered," You only have one chance to answer my question. If you're honest, I'll give you a quick death. Otherwise, you'll have to taste the feeling of a hundred ants drilling into your heart for a whole year before you can breathe your last.”
"Are you trying to scare me?" The woman clearly did not believe it. Shen Yueli was merely a daughter of the Shen family that was not valued. How could there be such a drug that would harm her? "You're just a child without a mother. Where did you get such a thing?”
In this world, there were always some people who were arrogant and looked down on others. Yueli's eyes narrowed and she was about to speak when the window flashed. A familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
Gu Qingcang.
Yue Li looked at him in astonishment. Before she could speak, she heard the woman on the ground grunt. Blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth as she curled up into a ball, cold sweat trickling down her cheeks.
Gu Qingcang slowly retracted his foot, and his eyes that looked at Yueli had a hint of gentleness." There's no need to waste words on someone who doesn't listen. Ask once and don't say anything. Beat her up until she says it.”
Gu Qingcang's kick was not light. This woman's internal injuries were definitely quite severe. At this moment, the pill Yueli had given her also took effect. Her entire person was in so much pain that she rolled on the ground non-stop. It was not an exaggeration to say that her heart was piercing to the bone.
"Why are you here?" Yue Li did not realize that her tone carried a hint of closeness that she did not have in the past and gave him a sideways glance.
However, Gu Qingcang could hear it, and the smile on his face widened." I was afraid that you would be wronged here, so I sent someone to guard you. Coincidentally, I came to look for you tonight. I met the messenger and rushed over.”
Yueli was really stunned this time. She knew that her situation in the Su residence was dire, so she sent people to protect her? She looked at him with mixed feelings." You don't have to do this.”
"That won't do. You are my princess consort, and I have the responsibility to protect you.”
She had come to this strange world alone and lived in a terrible family. She had no one to rely on and no one to trust. Now that there was such a person who was always thinking about her, it was really difficult to treat him like a stranger.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you. I'll tell you, please give me a quick death!”
The woman on the ground couldn't hold on any longer. The moment King Zhongxin appeared, she knew what would happen to her. Rather than living a life worse than death, it was better to have a quick death.
"Alright, go ahead." Yueli stared at the person on the ground. She really did not know who still wanted her life.
"The Seventh Princess sent me."
"Seventh Princess?" Yue Li was stunned for a moment, looking at the woman and reprimanding,""I don't know the Seventh Princess at all and have no grudges against her. Why did she send you to kill me? If you don't tell me the truth, I have ways to make you beg for death.”
"I didn't lie to you. Her Highness the Seventh Princess has been in love with Prince Zhongxin for a long time. Also, the Seventh Princess also wants to take Master Xingyun as her master. When the Princess heard that His Highness was looking for a good teacher for you, she became jealous and sent me here.”After the woman finished speaking, cold sweat soaked the ground. It was so painful that she wanted to die, but she could not swallow her anger.
She wanted to bite her tongue to commit suicide, but she couldn't use any strength. She was really afraid. She didn't expect this woman to be so powerful. This time, she was afraid that the Seventh Princess would suffer a big loss.
Yueli looked at Gu Qingcang unhappily." You provoked him again!”
Looking at Yueli throwing a tantrum at him like this, Gu Qingcang's eyes lit up. He would rather she throw a tantrum at him than watch her act nonchalantly.
"I'll take responsibility for it." Gu Qingcang promised with a doting and gentle smile on his handsome face. He had never thought that he would be so patient with a woman one day.
With a wave of his hand, a sharp blade stabbed into the woman's neck. In the blink of an eye, she stopped breathing.
Yueli took a glance and retracted her gaze. Having seen this kind of slaughter too many times, her heart became numb. She was an assassin. She was used to being killed when she killed.
Gu Qingcang called for people to come in and clean up the corpse. Yueli asked him," My people?”
"I've been drugged by this woman. I'll be fine after sleeping. Don't worry.”
Yueli heaved a sigh of relief and looked at him again." Didn't you say that you were looking for me for something? Tell me now. What's the matter?"”
Gu Qingcang looked at her awkward expression and found it even more interesting. He took a step forward and saw her subconsciously take a step back. He could not help but feel a little disappointed, but he said,"The requirements for Master Xingyun to take in a disciple are out. You need to collect three rare medicinal herbs.”
"Is that so?" Yueli blinked and stared at Gu Qingcang." There must be something else. Otherwise, why would it be worth you making a trip here personally?"”
He liked to see how smart she was. She could guess the second half of the sentence after listening to the first half. He nodded and said,"Yes, these three rare medicinal herbs can only be found in the Ten Thousand Imperial Mountain. However, wild beasts appear and disappear like ghosts in a place like the Ten Thousand Imperial Mountain, and it's filled with danger.”
Yueli lowered her head and pursed her lips." Why are you so good to me? I remember that you were clearly eager to cancel this marriage.”
"You saved my life at the Falling Jade Pavilion.”
"So your highness wants to devote yourself to me?”Yueli's mouth carried a hint of mockery. This was truly the best joke she had ever heard.
"Yes, I will repay you with my life!”Gu Qingcang stretched out his large hand and trapped Yueli in his embrace. He held her tightly." In this lifetime, you won't be able to escape.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082820187:33PM
