Gu Qing had heard of Hu Mang before. He was a subordinate of Li Xiangsheng.
He has 50,000 soldiers under his command.
It is not that easy to return to Beijing without staying in the border areas.
There was a rustling sound of footsteps at the door, and the person lying on the bed clenched one hand into a fist.
Gu Qing is definitely not a reckless person, but she was born in a chaotic era where people's hearts are unpredictable. She has experienced persecution in two lifetimes, and both were caused by the same person. How can she remain calm?
The wooden door was pushed open by someone.
The woman who was walking over had a sinister smile on her face. As soon as Aunt Liu entered the room, she closed the wooden door with one hand.
Aunt Liu looked at Gu Qing, who was unconscious on the bed, and at the weak, grayish-green face that passed by Gu Qing. She walked straight to the edge of the bed, raised one hand, and gently stroked Gu Qing's face: "As the saying goes, beauty is short-lived. Although Miao'er's beauty is not as good as yours, and people say that precociousness can damage one's character, it seems that these old sayings are really true..."
She pulled her hand back and pulled out a packet of white powder wrapped in yellow brown paper from her sleeve...
Gu Qing still remained silent. She wanted to see what tricks Aunt Liu could come up with.
not to mention--
Li Xiangsheng and Gu Yunzhao haven't arrived yet.
"Miao'er, not only is my background inferior to yours, but as your mother, my status and position are also not as high as your mother's. However, everyone has their own destiny. Even if you have a good background, are beautiful, and are very smart, what can you do? Qing'er, if you want to hate someone, go hate your mother. It's her soft nature that has created the current situation." Aunt Liu raised the corners of her lips and smiled.
Isn’t what Gu Yunzhao wants to bring disgrace to the Chen family?
Now, she has already made arrangements with the Dali Temple. As long as the maid of the Chen family tells the truth, she will kill Gu Qing and her daughter because she is unfaithful and has an affair. She is eager to protect her master.
Naturally, no one would suspect the Gu family and Li Xiangsheng.
After all, the Gu family is Gu Qing's maternal family. As outsiders often say, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.
By then, once she has dealt with this short-lived mother and daughter, Concubine Liu will be able to secure her position as the mistress.
The Gu family only has one legitimate daughter left...
Aunt Liu closed her eyes slightly, her eyes full of anticipation and joy for the future.
As long as Gu Yunzhao is meritorious in helping the fifth prince this time, it would be natural for him to wait for Li Xiangsheng to inherit the throne and send Gu Miao into the palace in the future.
Gu Yunzhao only gave birth to a daughter, so he would naturally devote all his efforts to making Gu Miao the queen.
"What does Aunt Liu want to do?"
Suddenly, a cold female voice sounded, causing Aunt Liu to tremble and shiver.
Gu Qing suddenly sat up from the bed. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Aunt Liu's arm. Her azure eyes were no longer as gentle as before when she treated people outside, but a little colder.
Aunt Liu's heart trembled. When she looked into Gu Qing's eyes, it was as if she saw a ghost that had just crawled out of purgatory. She stammered and said, "You, you can actually sit up?"
"Aunt, do you mean that I should die now? If someone didn't know, they would think that you are holding the judge's book of life and death. How can you decide other people's lives?" Gu Qing's voice was cold, and his eyes were fixed on Aunt Liu without blinking.
She also snatched the thing from Aunt Liu's hand...
Gu Qing put the powder to her nose and sniffed it. She laughed awkwardly and said slowly, "So it's the Death Powder."
A strange bird cry suddenly sounded outside the window.
Aunt Liu looked at Gu Qing sitting on the bed. She spoke with great vigor and energy, and didn't look like she was suffering from a serious poison. Could it be that...
She reminded herself again and again in her heart that this was just Gu Qing's last glimmer of hope.
If you want to take action, you must do it early.
Gu Qing definitely can’t stay.
"Aunt, I am in such a bad condition now, and my mother died suddenly in this room. If I am not mistaken, you did all this, right?" Seeing Aunt Liu's suspicion, Gu Qing coughed violently, and a mouthful of black blood flowed from the corner of her lips.
This was the plasma that Chen Zhizhou had someone get for her from outside, and she held it under her tongue in case of emergency.
Aunt Liu slowly stood up from the bed. She walked slowly in front of Gu Qing's bed, pacing back and forth, and told her her grand plan very proudly: "I told you before, all this guilt should be blamed on you, not me. It's your mother's weak nature. A mother is strong. She didn't protect you. I am also Miao'er's mother. I can't help but plan for Miao'er."
"You have such a vicious heart. It's not enough that you poisoned my mother, and you even want to harm me?" Gu Qing pretended to be heartbroken and grief-stricken.
Aunt Liu laughed wildly and said shamelessly, "If you die, your father will only have one daughter left. Naturally, he will devote all his energy to Miao'er. Since you are already doomed, I might as well tell you, do you really think that blood ties are that important to your father? You and Miao'er are the same. We are nothing more than stepping stones for him to rise to the top."
She actually understood this truth?
Gu Qing raised the corners of his lips, revealing a hint of sneer, "Oh? You mean, you poisoned my mother and me, and all of this was tacitly approved by my father?"
"Your father is all-powerful in the Gu family. Do you think he knows nothing? If it weren't for the fact that you won the golden medal of immunity from death at the night banquet a few days ago, and married into the Chen family, thus being able to restrain the Chen family, how could your father have let your mother live until yesterday." After Aunt Liu finished speaking, she suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Qing with a pair of vicious eyes.
The next moment, Aunt Liu grabbed Gu Qing's neck and poured the powder wrapped in paper into her mouth.
Aunt Liu mistakenly thought that Gu Qing was suffering from a serious poison and his health was not as good as before.
But I never thought——
Gu Qing punched her in the face with her backhand. Using the grappling techniques she had learned from Chen Zhizhou at the Chen family, she effortlessly pinned Madam Liu under her.
"You - have such great strength!" Aunt Liu widened her eyes in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Looking at Gu Qing's skills and the strength he used in his attack, how could he look like someone who had been poisoned but was still alive?
Gu Qing didn't bother to pay attention to her. After a clever smile, she turned her head to look out the window and said quietly, "Father has heard it outside. Mother's death was unjust. I hope father can help his daughter. Liu's vicious heart wants to put the blame on father for this disaster. Fortunately, his daughter is not dead. If she died, she would resent father and die with hatred!"
With a loud bang, the door was pushed open by someone, and Gu Yunzhao, Li Xiangsheng and others walked in quickly.
