Jingqiang.
Gao Mansion.
Gao Hongyuan has moved out of the palace, and the King of Beili has bestowed upon him a mansion.
Since he placed the curse on Su Ruojin, Gao Hongyuan has rarely gone out.
He was afraid.
Although he dared to guarantee that if a pregnant woman came into contact with that Gu, she would definitely be infected.
But he was afraid that if Su Ruojin discovered it beforehand, she would remove the curse and come to settle accounts with him.
Even if Su Ruojin didn't find out, given everything he had done to Fu Linglong, he was afraid that Su Ruojin would come after him to cause trouble and avenge Fu Linglong.
Gao Hongyuan wanted to take revenge on Su Ruojin, but after everything that happened in Xiaoyue, including the later breaking of the Demon Gu King's Gu technique, he always felt that Su Ruojin was like a ghost, unfathomable and causing him to feel fear for no reason.
So before Su Ruojin died, Gao Hongyuan tried his best to avoid her, and even asked Lin Wanqing for some guards to stand guard around the house to protect her.
However, during this period of time, Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin completely ignored him.
Or perhaps they knew they were in Bei Li and didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
Gao Hongyuan gradually felt relieved, realizing that as long as he didn't leave Jingqiang, he would be safe.
Just then, a servant came to report, "Your Excellency, the Queen requests your presence in the palace."
Upon hearing that Lin Wanqing was looking for her, Gao Hongyuan dared not refuse and immediately changed his clothes to enter the palace.
Lin Wanqing was not seriously injured. She simply told Gao Hongyuan that she would personally escort Su Ruojin on her way and asked him for the medicine that could activate the Gu poison in Su Ruojin's body, as well as the Heart-to-Heart Gu medicine that she had given to Xiao Yanchu.
Lin Wanqing knew that Su Ruojin and the others were wary of Gao Hongyuan, so it would be better not to bring him along.
In the winter of Beili, it gets dark very early. When I left the palace, it was only past dusk, but it was already completely dark outside.
Gao Hongyuan dared not linger outside and instructed the sedan chair bearers to take him directly back to his residence.
The sedan chair swayed slightly, and Gao Hongyuan felt drowsy as he sat there, so he closed his eyes and leaned back to rest.
When Gao Hongyuan opened his eyes, he could still feel the sedan chair shaking.
Although he didn't know how long he had slept, based on his past experience, he should have arrived at the mansion by now. Why did it take him so long today?
Gao Hongyuan lifted the carriage curtain and looked out. He saw that it was pitch black outside, with no lights or people. All he could see was the wall of a small alley.
On the way back to the Gao residence from the palace, one would not pass through such an alley.
Gao Hongyuan hurriedly lifted the front curtain of the carriage and asked, "What's going on? Is this the way back to the manor?"
The coachman turned around, looked at Gao Hongyuan, and smiled gently, "High Priest Gao, you're awake?"
Gao Hongyuan then realized that the coachman was no longer the one who had taken him to the palace from the manor. His heart tightened. "Who are you? Stop the carriage!"
"Don't worry, High Priest, we'll be there soon."
Gao Hongyuan could hardly miss the fact that something was wrong, and he subconsciously thought of Xiao Yanchu.
no!
He cannot fall into Xiao Yanchu's hands, or he will only face death.
With gritted teeth, Gao Hongyuan prepared to forcibly jump off the carriage, but as soon as he lifted the curtain, the coachman slapped him in the chest and knocked him back into the carriage.
Gao Hongyuan knows Gu magic, but his skills are not very high. In particular, he fell off the cliff and injured his body. In addition, feeding the demon Gu King made his body very weak.
The blow caused him so much pain that he almost couldn't breathe and was unable to move, so he could only lie on the carriage floor clutching his chest.
"Someone help...cough cough...someone help!" Gao Hongyuan thought of calling for help, but he was injured and it hurt when he moved, so his cries for help were barely louder than a mosquito's buzz.
Just then, the carriage stopped.
The coachman lifted the curtain. "High Priest, we've arrived. Please get out."
"You...you're going to take me...take me where?" Gao Hongyuan's eyes showed some fear.
