The next second, just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly felt dizzy and the scenery in front of her began to blur and distort.
"you……"
Chu Qingluan turned around and swung the whip like a poisonous snake.
Qi Che was prepared. Seeing this, he suddenly raised his hand, and the medicine powder in his sleeves immediately spilled out and flew towards Chu Qingluan.
Chu Qingluan wanted to hold her breath, but it was too late.
The whip in his hand fell to the ground with a 'snap', and he staggered to hold on to the table, staring at the other party tearing off the human skin mask -
“Qi…Che…”
She gritted her teeth and squeezed out two words, her nails digging deep into her palms.
Qi Che caught her limp body and gently stroked her pale lips with his fingertips.
"Go to sleep, my princess."
There was a sick tenderness in his eyes, "When you wake up, no one can separate us anymore."
…
On the other side, Gu Yanran walked forward slowly, murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
"Zhixia, come to think of it, you are also half responsible for what I have today."
"If it weren't for you, I would have always been the high and mighty daughter of the Gu family, a noble lady in the capital, and I would have had the best fate.
But since you showed up, you first aroused Li's suspicion, and then exposed my identity. Zhixia, you deserve to die!
You were clearly taken away, why did you come back alive to snatch everything that belongs to me?"
The jealousy in Gu Yanran's heart was infinitely magnified at this moment.
It was obvious that she was supposed to be a slave and a servant, so how could she replace herself and become the real Miss Gu? Mrs. Li, who had loved her for more than ten years, also changed her attitude overnight, and everyone looked at her as if she were a clown.
Everyone said that she had usurped the throne and should return her identity.
But she obviously didn't do anything!
When she was taken away by mistake, she was still so young. What could she do about it?
Why does everyone have to stand on the moral high ground to condemn themselves at this time?
So she was unwilling, angry and jealous.
Zhixia tightly grasped the soft sword, her eyes burning with anger.
"Gu Yanran, stop being so pretentious here."
"Your misfortune is never caused by others - it is your own greed that is at work!"
"Although being taken away by mistake was not your wish, what happened later? You clearly knew that you were the one who took over the Gu family's home, but you still coveted the Gu family's wealth and glory, and even went so far as to kill your own mother!"
"You have committed many evil deeds, are selfish, and are vain. Even when you keep saying that you hate Qi Che, you are just deceiving yourself!"
Gu Yanran's pupils suddenly shrank, and the golden light on her body fluctuated violently: "You are talking nonsense--!"
The next second, she curled her red lips, and her whole body was filled with murderous intent.
"You are about to die, and you still dare to be stubborn. Today, I will make sure that you will never return—"
As she spoke, Gu Yanran gathered strength in her palm again, stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhixia.
"Cousin, be careful—"
In a flash, Li Yao leaped over and used his shoulder to block the fatal blow for Zhixia.
“Puff!”
Gu Yanran's five fingers pierced through his shoulder blade like sharp blades, and blood instantly soaked Li Yao's robe.
Zhixia's pupils suddenly shrank as she watched the bloody fingertips peek out from Li Yao's shoulder.
A drop of bright red blood hit the back of Zhixia's hand, it was extremely hot.
"Li...Li Yao?!"
Zhixia's voice trembled, her pupils shattered, and even her breathing became lighter unconsciously.
Li Yao groaned, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, but he still forced a smile.
"Cousin... this... is finally..."
He gasped in pain, his brows furrowed, "Being a... decent cousin..."
Zhixia's tears welled up in her eyes.
This playboy who usually acted carelessly stood up straight at this moment, protecting her like a wall.
This was an experience Zhixia had never had before.
So, is this what family love is?
"It's really touching~"
Gu Yanran withdrew her hand with a sneer, looked at the blood on her fingertips, and smiled sarcastically.
You see, when she was the daughter of the Gu family, all these cousins and uncles loved only her.
Now that everyone knows Zhixia’s identity, they all abandon her and start caring about Zhixia instead.
Even the usually unruly Li Yao sided with her and was even willing to die for her!
How touching!
"In that case, let's go together!"
Gu Yanran suddenly felt murderous and was about to strike again.
But at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the door.
"Shoot!"
Immediately afterwards, dozens of feather arrows broke through the air and shot directly at Gu Yanran's face.
She hurriedly used her internal energy to block it, but the arrow was wrapped with cinnabar talisman paper, which ignited when it encountered wind and instantly turned into a net, moving towards Gu Yanran.
It’s Mr. Li.
At this moment, he was standing on the wall with a longbow in his hand, commanding the black soldiers behind him who were pouring in like a tide.
When seeing the injured Li Yao, Li's father's eyes were bulging.
"Anyone who dares to hurt my son will die!"
With his order, the soldiers immediately joined the battle.
Li Heng, who was fighting, finally got a moment to catch his breath. He hurried forward, supported the staggering Li Yao, and shot a sharp look at Gu Yanran.
"Gu Yanran! The Li family has always treated you well, how dare you hurt a member of the Li family? You deserve to die!"
As Li Heng finished speaking, Gu Yanran took a few steps back as if she was deeply shocked, her eyes filled with despair.
"Cousin, even you..."
"Shut up!" Li Heng interrupted her. "From the moment you hurt Zhixia and your aunt, you are no longer a niece recognized by the Li family. I, Li Heng, have never had a cousin as vicious as you!"
Gu Yanran was completely stunned!
Li Heng's treatment of her before this could be described as responding to her every request.
Because the Li family had no daughter and only Li gave birth to her, every time she returned to Longxi, she was treated like a star. Li Heng also loved her the most, almost to the point of granting her every request.
I remember one time, she suddenly said she wanted to see what the military camp looked like. Li Heng made an exception and took her into the camp without saying a word, and they played for the whole day.
Later she heard that there was an iron rule in the military camp that women were not allowed to enter. Li Heng knew he was wrong and made the mistake, so he was punished with thirty military sticks.
From then on, Li Heng's position in her mind was like an older brother who would unconditionally tolerate her no matter what mistakes she made.
Pamper and love.
But now, even Li Heng spoke ill of him!
She felt that she had nothing left in this world.
“Hehe…hahahaha…”
Gu Yanran suddenly let out a crazy laugh, like a demon possessed by a demon, about to explode with destructive power.
Her laughter stopped abruptly, and two golden fireballs condensed in her hands again. Her eyes also shone brightly with golden light, as if two flames were burning.
The air around them all stagnated at this moment, and everyone had difficulty breathing and their movements were restricted.
Zhixia felt something was wrong!
Is she going to die with everyone?
