Chapter 67 Dissociation Between Master and Servant
All she did was add aconite to the ginseng soup. She had overheard two maids talking about this method, saying that adding a little aconite to the ginseng soup would ruin a person's health.
Seeing that Gu Yingxue was sending soup to Gu Shuyan every day and that Gu Shuyan's health hadn't changed, Chunxiang took it upon herself to add some aconite to it, only to find that it had become a strange poison.
Looking at Fei'er standing to the side, who seemed completely indifferent, Chunxiang's eyes reddened.
If anyone was to frame her, it could only be Fei'er. She knew that she had to deliver ginseng soup to the North Courtyard these past few days and that she had added aconite, so she deliberately replaced the aconite with poison.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Sister Chunxiang? You won't blame me for telling Miss about this, will you? Miss is our mistress, and we should naturally consider her needs when we do things. By taking it upon yourself to poison Miss, aren't you just letting everyone in the manor know that our Miss is trying to harm her?"
Gu Yingxue was very satisfied with Fei'er's words. As expected, this girl was very sensible.
Looking at Chunxiang, who still didn't realize her mistake, Gu Yingxue said impatiently, "You don't need to serve me here anymore, go down!"
Gu Yingxue didn't even bother to scold herself anymore; it was obvious she despised her. Seeing Gu Yingxue's utterly disgusted gaze, Chunxiang felt extremely uncomfortable. She glared fiercely at Fei'er, who was giving her a defiant look, and could only silently retreat.
Gu Shuyan, who was in a deep sleep, had no idea that a bowl of ginseng soup given to her had caused so much trouble.
At this moment, she was constantly reliving the nightmares of her past life, unable to wake up no matter what she did.
In her dream, she returned to the days before she was to marry Lu Youming. Because the wedding was imminent, she was happily making her wedding dress in the house.
Suddenly, Gu Yingxue walked in from outside and handed her a letter.
Seeing the familiar handwriting on the letter, Gu Shuyan knew that Lu Youming wanted to meet her. Immersed in sweetness, Gu Shuyan had no idea why Gu Yingxue had given her the letter.
After getting dressed, Gu Shuyan left the house with her most capable maid, Cuiyan.
Having arrived at the agreed location without incident, Gu Shuyan asked Cuiyan to wait outside the door while she pushed open the door and went into the room.
The dimly lit room was filled with fragrance. Gu Shuyan felt dizzy after taking only a few steps, and then a wave of heat surged up from the bottom of her body.
On the bed, a person was half-lying on the side, clearly fast asleep.
"Your Highness?"
Gu Shuyan called out and went over, but accidentally fell to the ground.
The person on the bed heard the noise and opened her eyes. When she saw that it was Gu Shuyan, she was taken aback at first, and then reached out to help her.
But at this moment, Gu Shuyan's mind was no longer clear. A surge of heat rose up from her body, and upon touching the man's cool body, she pressed herself against him without hesitation.
Under the influence of the spices, the two quickly embraced, their clothes gradually falling away, creating an intimate and romantic atmosphere in the room.
In her dream, Gu Shuyan looked at the things that had actually happened to her, wanting to see clearly what the man who took her virginity looked like, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see him clearly.
Finally, a noise came from outside the door, and the man stopped what he was doing and grabbed his clothes.
Before the man climbed out the window and left, Gu Shuyan finally saw the half of a silver mask in his hand. Although it was only a small half, Gu Shuyan still recognized the origin of the mask.
The wind blows, the clouds move, and the leaves flutter.
In the quiet bamboo forest, sunlight shone through the gaps onto the man's silver mask.
