Chapter 10
Gu Luoyan closed the door and Qiu Niang was already standing at the door.
She put away her smile and walked straight forward. Qiu Niang walked to Gu Luoyan's side, took out a small tube of powder from her sleeve, and handed it to Gu Luoyan.
Gu Luoyan walked at a leisurely pace, her red lips parted as she spoke softly, "I didn't expect it was the Wang family that came."
Qiu Niang tilted her head in surprise, then calmed down after a moment. Uneasy, she asked in a low voice, "Miss, you must be extremely careful. Is there any strategy..."
Gu Luoyan smiled and said, "It's unexpected. Let's take advantage of their trick. There's no news of him in the hall. I think he came here secretly."
Qiu Niang cursed in her heart, "This Wang family is really no good at all."
"I met Bai Lang today." said Gu Luoyan.
"Miss, what are you doing..." Qiu Niang suddenly became nervous and her steps became a little hurried.
Gu Luoyan turned sideways to look at Qiu Niang, then turned back and said, "It's been ten years. Auntie believes in me, let's take a gamble."
Qiu Niang's face showed sadness. She pursed her lips to suppress her emotions and only replied with one final sentence: "Tomorrow is the ninth day of the lunar month. Miss, remember this."
Gu Luoyan squeezed Qiu Niang's hand in her sleeve and said nothing more. The maids and servants in front lined up and bowed to Gu Luoyan.
She also squatted slightly towards Qiu Niang: "I'm going."
Qiu Niang closed her eyes, her voice choked with sobs: "Farewell, young lady."
·
Gu Luoyan sat on the sedan chair, and the crowd gathered around her. Two screens covered her face, and the maid in front lit the lantern, announcing the leader's identity.
On a clear, windy night, silver beans were scattered along the path. Someone leaned over to grab the beans, and some speculated about the status of the winner tonight.
A shadow was following quietly in the dark.
It was not until the sedan chair stopped and Gu Luoyan was supported by someone and walked towards the luxurious house that Nian Qing appeared.
All she could think about was the strange fragrance left when Gu Luoyan leaned over and hugged her.
The smell was so alluring that Nian Qing felt it was more like Gu Luoyan's magic.
She left without telling Nianqing where she was going. She had already committed herself to him and said she wanted to stay with him for a while longer.
She still left.
Cruel woman.
She chased after him, feeling even more dissatisfied. With so many people watching, Nian Qing didn't dare to approach openly. She walked out into the long street from the shadows, secretly watching Gu Luoyan's back. Everyone had smiles on their faces, as if it was a very festive occasion.
But only Gu Luoyan's face showed no ripples.
At that moment, Nian Qing wanted to rush into the crowd, grab Gu Luoyan's hand, and take her away.
She seemed unwilling, involuntarily. Even the fragrance she exuded was filled with the scent of worry grass.
Gu Luoyan entered the room, the door closed. A graceful figure peeked through the paper screen window. Nian Qing had never felt the lights so bright before. She saw the figure bow, then drift away, her slender hands sliding down her outer robe, revealing the shadow of her shoulders.
The curtains were drawn, and a maidservant was standing guard outside the house. Most of the people onlookers on the long street had dispersed.
Nianqing heard a man sighing about how fortunate the distinguished guests inside were. Words she didn't understand, mixed with a mean smile, became the subject of conversation.
She knew they were talking about Gu Luoyan. That face was really disgusting.
Nian Qing stepped over and stopped a few people, not caring about the occasion. Her eyes changed in an instant.
Lan Ying's light was like a stream of fire. Nian Qing asked in a low voice, "What are you talking about?"
"What else can we talk about? It's just about the leader of this Red Pavilion - Gu Luoyan."
"Oh?" Nian Qing leaned closer to the person who was speaking. "What does she have to talk about?"
The men smiled at her, their wits still managing to retain a few traces of rationality under the spell, but their hidden thoughts were amplified infinitely: "You, a girl, don't understand. Just think about it, which man in the world wouldn't covet Gu Ji's body? If I were rich, I would definitely marry her home."
Several people had repeatedly belittled Gu Luoyan to the point of being worthless, yet they also used extremely vulgar words to express their admiration.
Nian Qing instantly lost the desire to listen. She put her finger between her lips and said, "Shhh..."
Several people fell silent.
The blue in her eyes deepened a little. Nian Qing said, "I want to know why she came here?"
"The gentleman inside bought her this night, so she must come."
"purchase?"
"One night with Gu Luoyan is worth ten thousand taels of gold."
Nian Qing still didn't quite understand the meaning of this transaction, so she asked again, "Does it mean sleeping in the same bed?"
The men laughed again and were about to speak when Nian Qing clapped his hands.
"You are ugly and stupid."
She said no more, her pupils shrank into slits, "You say she is a cheap bone, but I think you are more like maggots."
"Kneel down and hurt yourself, and repent sincerely."
For the first time, the blue in her eyes turned into a hollow black, and her pupils slowly enlarged, swallowing the whites of her eyes.
The most profound magic of the fox spirit is called the art of losing the mind.
The soul is silent and the ears and eyes are blocked.
This is her punishment for the men.
Nian Qing turned around, stopped looking at them, and walked into the dark alley again, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
She used Rongti's merits to exchange for a hundred years of cultivation, and mastered the art of losing the mind, and was no longer a little monster.
A strange scene suddenly appeared on the main street of the Hong Kong Coliseum. Several male guests suddenly knelt on the ground, holding their necks with their hands. Their necks turned red and purple, but they refused to break free.
Only one person was saved by people around him, while the others suffocated to death.
·
Gu Luoyan took off his outer robe, wearing only a set of "private clothes" that could arouse the guests' interest, and looked at the people drinking at the table.
The current Crown Prince Jia Yu was dressed in a palace dress with dragon patterns, but he did not look dignified or self-possessed. His eyes were full of lust and his heart was filled with lust.
"My name is Gu Luoyan, nice to meet you, Your Highness." Gu Luoyan bowed to him again with a timid smile on her face.
"I never thought that the number one dancer who is admired by thousands of people would reveal such a despicable side in front of me." Jia Yu looked up and down at Gu Luoyan, put his arm around her and motioned her to come over.
Gu Luoyan knelt down across from him at the table. Her face was filled with the most intoxicating expression: "Your Highness is too impatient."
"Oh? Do you have any good ideas?" Jia Yu sat over and put his hand on Gu Luoyan's back, causing a disgusting feeling.
Gu Luoyan still smiled, reached out to take the wine cup, and when Jia Yu was about to get close to her, she put her hand on his chest.
"Have a glass of wine from me first, Your Highness, and then we can talk about anything else." Gu Luoyan pushed the wine cup to Jia Yu's lips.
After watching him drink it, he added, "This cup is to wish His Highness a long life."
Jia Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at her. Gu Luoyan smiled charmingly: "This Mingjing will become your highness sooner or later."
Jia Yu laughed, hugged Gu Luoyan's waist with both hands, and breathed a little faster: "What the beauty said is true."
He suddenly held Gu Luoyan's hand again, brought it to his nose and sniffed it carefully: "What a pity for this body, tsk tsk..." Jia Yu looked at the scar on Gu Luoyan's hand and said sadly: "If it weren't for this dirty, jade-like beauty, I would definitely take you as my concubine."
Gu Luoyan sneered inwardly, but outwardly revealed a look of great surprise. She said shyly, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
Being obedient is always a good way to win a man's heart.
How ironic.
Gu Luoyan responded by putting some distance between herself and Jia Yu. Her hand slid down the dragon-patterned robe, rubbing against the inside, a touch that tantalized the mind. She said, "Your Highness, could you grant Gu Ji a request?"
"Maybe you'll tell me."
"I want to..." Gu Luoyan leaned over and covered Jia Yu's eyes with a piece of silk.
"Have some fun with His Highness."
The man was clearly agitated. Gu Luoyan watched his throat rise and fall as he swallowed. But he obediently took the silk strip and tied it himself.
He excitedly took off his outer robe, looking hungry and thirsty: "Then I will obey your orders, my beauty."
"Puff" Gu Luoyan stood up and broke away from Jia Yu's hands. She brushed her fingers across Jia Yu's lips and said, "Then let's have some fun catching a beauty."
"I will be your Highness's beauty." Gu Luoyan withdrew her hand, looked at the prince with an evil look, a hint of teasing in her eyes.
She stood a little further away, picked up a pot of wine, took out a small bottle of dust from the lining of the gauze, and took a last look at the red-leafed flowers on the table over there.
She looked down at Jia Yu in front of the table and said softly, "Your Highness, please crawl over here. Gu Ji is here." She poured the Datura powder into the pot in front of him.
Jia Yu was blindfolded and crawled slowly towards the direction of the sound. Gu Luoyan touched Jia Yu's head and took off his jade crown: "Your Highness is very good."
She squatted down and put the spout of the wine jug into Jia Yu's mouth.
"Drink it all, this is all Bone Princess's gift to Your Highness."
…
After drinking a pot of wine, the lewd man never woke up again.
Mandrake was originally used as a sleeping pill to treat those prostitutes who resisted customers, but Gu Luoyan stole the trick.
The smile on his face spread even more. Gu Luoyan looked at the prince at his feet and said softly, "Your Highness, you are drunk."
She turned back to pick up her outer robe and put it back on. Then she came over and grabbed Jia Yu's arms, dragging him towards the couch like a dead pig, not caring how many people on the ground bumped into her.
Only when she finally got on the couch did she pat Jia Yu's face and say, "Then Gu Ji will come to help you sleep."
·
The next day, when Jia Yu woke up, it was already dusk and his head was still very dizzy. Gu Luoyan's fingertips were already around his earlobe.
"Your Highness, you are awake."
"Ah... beauty." He couldn't recall the memories of last night for a moment. Seeing him hesitate and about to speak, Gu Luoyan answered first:
"It was a wonderful night, Bone Princess, I'll never forget it."
"Is that so..."
"in this way."
Gu Luoyan pointed at Jia Yu and said, "If your Highness is still tired, you may as well sleep a little longer. The sun has not yet set and it is still early."
Upon hearing this, Jia Yu sat up suddenly, enduring the severe pain in his head, his expression dazed.
He got out of bed and searched for his clothes, but at the same time he had to put on a gentlemanly demeanor and comforted Gu Luoyan, saying, "I have something important to attend to, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you."
Gu Luoyan understood, but still looked bewildered: "Your Highness, are you leaving?"
Jia Yu was helpless and waved his hand to call for rewards. But he saw the anxious beauty got off the bed and ran to Jia Yu, with a look of reluctance in her eyes: "I don't want your rewards, Your Highness."
"I only ask for your Highness's sincerity."
Gu Luoyan shook Jia Yu's hand and asked sincerely, "Is it okay?"
She saw the hypocrisy and ridicule in Jia Yu's eyes. But she replied, "Okay, I agree, my lady."
It is the nature of the royal family to be arrogant and conceited. They must be thinking in their hearts how this vulgar person can be worthy of the emperor.
"Then..." Gu Luoyan looked around and found the red-leafed flower. She pointed it out to Jia Yu and said, "I want that flower. They say it's not available in this Red Pavilion. Your Highness, could you go outside and find some for Gu Ji?"
"Hahaha, don't mention a few flowers. If the beauty wants it, I will give you the whole flower garden." Jia Yu stretched out his hand to pick up the flower branch, and Gu Luoyan behind him darkened his eyes.
"Gu Ji thanks His Highness in advance." Gu Luoyan saluted him, then went over and clasped Jia Yu's fingers holding the red leaf flower, forcing him to put it into his sleeve pocket. A look of grievance appeared on her face: "Your Highness, please don't get lost on the way."
"Of course." Jia Yu accepted the flowers and straightened his clothes.
"May Your Highness have a safe journey." After saying this, Gu Luoyan stepped aside and made way. Seeing Jia Yu striding out of the room in a very good mood.
The moment she saw his back, the innocence in her eyes almost disappeared. Gu Luoyan sat down, poured a glass of wine, wet it with her fingertips, and then dotted it on the tablecloth.
When he looked up, he saw that the vase without flowers looked a bit strange. He tapped the table with his fingers a few times, feeling more cheerful.
Guessing the wine in the cup was almost gone, she swung it and smashed it. The noise startled the maids outside who came in, only to see Gu Luoyan yelling in fear, "Hurry and tell mother! The red leaf flowers in this room have been stolen!"
The servants were worried and hurriedly retreated, rushing to the madam's place to pass on the message.
After everyone left, Gu Luoyan stood up lazily. Qiu Niang was waiting outside the door with a thick robe.
Fatigue finally showed in her eyes. She waited for Qiu Niang to put her clothes on, support her, and slowly walk away.
·
"Ridiculous!" The tall woman quickly climbed down the dim stairs and appeared in front of the person who came to report in an instant, with her neck twisted into an inhuman shape.
"I...I am also listening to what the servant serving the leader says..." The manager's voice was trembling, and his body seemed to be fixed and unable to move.
"This is ridiculous! Ignoring the taboos of the Hong Kong Coliseum is ignoring me!" The woman's eyeballs suddenly sank on her pale face.
"It's a dead end!"
——
As the prince's carriage was about to pass through the Red Gate, the flower in Jia Yu's sleeve suddenly withered and curled up into a small ball. He urged the driver to go faster.
I was anxious and the palace dinner was in progress.
Before Jia Yu could finish his words, red appeared on his chest. His internal organs instantly turned to blood and fluid, swelling in his abdomen. Soon, blood was oozing from all seven orifices, and he died suddenly in the carriage.
Looking at the small ball of withered flowers in his sleeve pocket, it was no longer a small ball at all, but a piece of rotten meat with maggots in it.
·
The madam straightened up, regaining her standing position, her sunken eyes gradually returning to the distance. She turned to look at the trembling steward, her dark purple tongue darting out to lick the corner of her mouth.
He covered his face with a handkerchief, squinted his eyes and twisted his body to walk towards the steward.
He said, "My family, a piece of meat just fell off..."
"It needs a lot of supplements."
"Then I, I will go and ask someone to prepare a meal for you, sir..." The steward began to cry, and finally shouted, "Don't eat me! Don't eat me! Please, sir!"
"Shh—" A withered, pale hand pinched his head, and the long nails pierced the skin on the steward's face.
"If you cry too much, your meat will be bitter, and then our family won't be able to enjoy the food."
The woman tilted her head back, revealing a gap in her neck where it connected to her jawbone.
The next moment, a bunch of wriggling mouthparts tore open the skin and poked out. The huge jaws clamped the manager's head, the poisonous jaws pierced into the arteries, and they chewed voraciously, devouring the person completely.
