Chapter 236 You're a Madman
Gu Xizhi collapsed to the ground, her body tilted to one side in pain, cold sweat soaking her hair.
She was shivering in pain when suddenly a piece of black clothing spread out in front of her.
Gu Xizhi endured the severe pain and raised her head, only to find that Shen Jiasui had half-squatted down without her knowing.
Her posture was extremely casual, with one arm lazily resting on her knee, and the other hand lightly placed at her side, her fingers tapping the ground from time to time, as if she was thinking about something.
Gu Xizhi's eyes fell on Shen Jiasui's slender fingers, and the memories of the Lantern Festival came to her mind uncontrollably, making her shrink back in fear.
Shen Jiasui tilted his head slightly, estimated the time in his mind, and after he had a rough idea, he asked calmly:
"And the rest of the letter?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xizhi suddenly raised her head and her eyes widened.
She had just wondered why Shen Jiasui showed up here so timely. After thinking about it, she was afraid that she had followed someone from Prince Rui's side.
During the Lantern Festival, after Shen Jiasui exposed her for hooking up with Prince Rui, she became wary.
But until she handed the letter to Prince Rui, Shen Jiasui did not take any action.
She thought Shen Jiasui had never discovered the existence of the letter, but now...
When did Shen Jiasui find out?
If she had known this earlier, how could she have endured until today?
You know, the crime of treason is punishable by the execution of the entire family!
Isn't it the most appropriate approach to destroy the letter early and nip everything in the bud?
Gu Xizhi's expression was filled with confusion, but after a moment's pause, she suddenly thought of something and raised her voice incredibly:
"Shen Jiasui, in order to help Jiang Xun overthrow Prince Rui, you dared to gamble with the entire Shen family?"
"Godfather and godmother know that you are like this for a man——"
Shen Jiasui suddenly flicked the hand hanging by his side, as casually as if he was chasing away an annoying flying insect.
There was a loud "pop", crisp and abrupt.
Gu Xizhi had no time to react, and red marks had already appeared on her fair face.
Shen Jiasui still looked casual and indifferent, as if he had just done something insignificant.
But Gu Xizhi actually felt the excruciating pain brought by this seemingly unintentional slap.
"Godfather, godmother? You have the nerve to do that."
Shen Jiasui didn't need to explain to Gu Xizhi, this was his father's determination and courage.
They could indeed have destroyed the letters from the beginning and prevented the Shen family from being accused of "collaborating with the enemy and treason".
But Prince Rui will do anything to achieve his goal, and he doesn't care about the life and death or injustice of others.
With such a person becoming the new emperor, who knows whether one day in the future, anyone in their Shen family, other court officials, or even the people of the world will be slaughtered at will because of the new emperor's selfish desires and repeat the mistakes of the Shen family in its previous life?
There are always people willing to stand up and fight for the future, either for what they love or for great love.
For example, father, for example, teacher.
So that day in the study, she and her father made a decision with red eyes -
Take advantage of the situation, go with the flow, and then turn the tables!
"Lu Yao escaped."
Shen Jiasui suddenly changed the subject and slowly stood up at this moment.
"How do you think he will report to Prince Rui?"
There was still a buzzing in Gu Xizhi's ears. It seemed like a light slap, but it made her face feel as if it was burned by fire and it was burning with pain.
Her thoughts were still a little stagnant. Seeing this, Shen Jiasui curled his lips slightly and said in a calm voice:
"Gu Xizhi, your plan is doomed to fail. No matter whether it succeeds or not, the first person that Prince Rui wants to kill is you."
As the voice fell into her ears, her thoughts gradually came back to her mind. Gu Xizhi shuddered and felt a chill down her spine in an instant.
Seeing Lu Yao's shocked and angry look just now, it was obvious that he had fallen into Shen Jiasui's trap of sowing discord.
Then he escaped with difficulty, and he must have been very angry.
Prince Rui believed in Lu Yao completely. Once he heard what Lu Yao said, he would definitely think that she was a double agent.
In this way, if Prince Rui succeeds, he will want to eliminate her as a hidden danger, and if he fails, he will definitely drag her down with him!
She had been planning for so long, but after all the twists and turns, all her calculations turned out to be fatal arrows shot at herself?
Finished!
Unless she runs away now.
But she has fallen into Shen Jiasui's hands. If Shen Jiasui doesn't know about the letter, she may still have a chance of survival.
But now, it's too late to say anything.
A hint of dejection flashed across Gu Xizhi's face. She knew that there was no way for her to escape today, and she was no longer willing to show her weakness in front of Shen Jiasui.
So the next moment, she straightened her back, looked up with red marks on her face, and said with a fearless attitude:
"If you want to kill me, just do it!"
"Kill you?"
Shen Jiasui couldn't help but chuckle.
"If your life wasn't still useful, I wouldn't mind having blood on my hands."
"But if you want to die easily and happily, that is absolutely impossible."
Gu Xizhi's face changed color when she heard this, but she was still gritting her teeth and holding on.
But under Shen Jiasui's condescending gaze, she still felt timid in her heart and shrank back involuntarily.
When she raised her head again, she happened to see the sarcasm on Shen Jiasui's mouth.
This was like a stab to Gu Xizhi's heart. She was immediately filled with anger, and the timidity that had just been spreading in her heart was instantly drowned by anger.
"Shen Jiasui, you don't have to be so proud. The reason you can perceive all this now is probably because Jiang Xun is helping you behind the scenes."
"How about you? You are just a fool who was fooled by me!"
The voice gradually became sharper, and Gu Xizhi seemed to be looking for confidence.
Compared with her hysteria, Shen Jiasui's calmness even revealed a hint of indifference.
"People always need to improve."
“Besides, you, Gu Xizhi, are far from being smart enough to manipulate everyone at will.”
"It was pity and love that blinded our eyes. We regarded you as a beautiful jade and had no defense against you. Naturally, we could not see that you were holding a sharp knife, ready to stab us at any time."
Seeing that Gu Xizhi was dissatisfied and wanted to argue again, Shen Jiasui no longer had the interest to argue with her.
There is no need to expect jackals to realize their own cruelty and cunningness; the pain will tell them what the consequences will be!
Thinking of this, Shen Jiasui suddenly took a step forward and stepped accurately on Gu Xizhi's ankle.
"If I cut off your arms and legs, you won't be able to run away."
Shen Jiasui tilted his head and looked at Gu Xizhi with a smile, his words full of casualness, as if they were greetings between friends.
Before she even used any strength, Gu Xizhi was already frightened out of her wits.
Her eyes suddenly widened with fear, and she screamed and struggled desperately.
"Shen Jiasui! You lunatic! Don't!"
don't want!
She doesn't want to experience the torture of broken bones again!
Ta-ta-ta——
Just at this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the yard.
Upon hearing the voice, Shen Jiasui and Gu Xizhi looked towards the door together, and what they saw was a figure that was very familiar to them.
It was Lu Yunzheng who came back!
