"I know you must be looking down on me in your heart right now."
The medicine man curled his lips in self-mockery.
The smile looked a little scary on her face where the lumps had not completely disappeared.
"I don't look down on you, I just sigh that you fell in love with someone you shouldn't love."
Qu Li's eyes were very sincere, without even a trace of contempt.
The medicine man took a deep breath and said, "The reason I'm telling you all this today is because I don't want you to become another me!"
"I won't."
She and the high priest each had their own thoughts, and she was not attracted to the high priest.
What's more, she has met a man in her life who can amaze her for the rest of her life. Whether it is appearance, talent, or mind, he is far superior to any other man.
Unless she is out of her mind, she would not give up Feng Yi and choose the high priest, such an old and falling apart bastard!
"He asked me to help him become the new priest, and I did."
"Did you hurt your master for him?"
The medicine man's pupils suddenly trembled, and he looked at her with a dim gaze.
That was the worst thing she had ever done in her life.
The master was so good to her, even better than her father.
However, she attacked her own master for a man with ulterior motives.
My eyes were sore and even the flickering candlelight in front of me became blurry.
"That's my guess! A girl who is obsessed with love won't think at all. If you hadn't hurt your master, he definitely wouldn't have become the next priest at such a young age!" Qu Li's tone was very certain.
The medicine man laughed even more self-deprecatingly, and there was even a hint of brilliance in the corners of his eyes.
Qu Li handed her a handkerchief and said, "Wipe it."
"I used the Heart-Eating Gu to harm my master, and he testified against me to my father. To prevent discord between the Priest House and the Imperial Family, my father had no choice but to strip me of my title of princess."
After hearing this, Qu Li didn't know how to respond to her.
This is really a very sad thing.
"I can only depend on him and be his hidden woman. No matter what he asks, no matter what he wants, I will do my best. Until I have his own flesh and blood."
The medicine man's hand fell on his lower abdomen.
She lowered her eyebrows, her eyes filled with pain and regret.
Qu Li felt depressed, so he stood up and opened the window.
The night breeze blew in, dispelling some of the gloomy atmosphere in the room.
"At that time, I thought he would marry me, but he said that I was a princess abandoned by the royal family. Even though I had noble blood flowing in my body, I was still a sinner! He killed my child with a bowl of abortion medicine, and then used his blood to cultivate Gu worms."
At this moment, the sadness in the medicine man's eyes was completely replaced by hatred.
"I wanted to kill him, so I threatened him with the incident where he tricked your father into jumping off the Black Wind Cliff.
He wasn't even afraid at all. It was then that I realized that my father and mother had already been harmed by him with poisonous insects!
And my royal brother also died young not long after he ascended the throne!
Later, he supported my nephew to ascend the throne and control the government, while he threw me into the Black Water Forest and made me a medicine man."
Qu Li got goosebumps all over his body and looked at her with extremely complicated eyes.
She fell in love with someone she shouldn't have loved and did so many evil things. It seemed like she had been punished by God.
Whether it was her children or her relatives, they all turned away from her.
"After all these years in the Black Water Forest, I've become the longest-lived medicine man. I don't know whether to say this is lucky or unlucky!
Later, I heard that the High Priest was planning to select a medicine man to try to find out about the Shadow Pavilion branch, so I used some tricks and finally got what I wanted."
"You were able to live for so long, but then suddenly disappeared. Wouldn't the high priest have any suspicions?"
"To him, I'm already dead! As for the person I replaced, his sudden death is not uncommon at all!"
Qu Li frowned, thought carefully, and guessed that Feng Yi might have made some arrangements.
Thinking of Feng Yi, her eyes couldn't help but become gentle.
The room was unusually quiet. One was completely immersed in regrets about the past, while the other was looking forward to a better future.
The medicine man suddenly looked up and happened to catch the light in her eyes.
Her heart gave a sharp tug.
Once upon a time, she also had such a look in her eyes.
"I've been entangled with him for so many years, and I've done countless unscrupulous things for him! Every day I live is filled with endless pain! So, this time, let me take your place, okay?"
Qu Li's pupils narrowed, and his eyes were full of confusion.
The medicine man's eyes were filled with anticipation: "Before I die, I want to personally avenge my father, mother, and brother!"
"Don't you want to see the Emperor?"
There was another long silence, and the suffocating oppression came from all directions again, making Qu Li frown uncomfortably.
"Gone! I am such a sinner!"
She stood up, as if she deliberately didn't want Qu Li to see the expression on her face.
Qu Li looked at her back, which was surrounded by desolation, and took a deep breath: "Do you have any plans?"
"I still have a mother Heart-Eating Gu in my body. If you can help me get the Gu King to remove the mother Gu from his body, I will be 100% sure that I can kill him!"
The last three words were pierced with tears and blood, and paired with her scarlet eyes, they looked extremely terrifying.
There was a hint of judgment in Qu Li's eyes.
There was a voice in her head that kept asking her whether she should trust the medicine man.
The story she told was indeed touching, but was it really worth believing?
The Gu King is a trump card in her hand. With the Gu King, the high priest will be wary.
After all, no matter what kind of poisonous insect it is, it can be turned into ashes in an instant by the King of Poison.
Once the Gu King returns to the hands of the high priest, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The medicine man did not urge Qu Li, even though she had seen the hesitation in Qu Li's eyes.
"Let me tell you about your father." She took a sip of tea and continued, "Your father and your mother really loved each other, and they were an enviable couple.
Your father has evidence of the high priest's guilt and wants to persuade him not to be so stubborn, but the high priest disagrees.
At that time, I disguised myself as your mother and pretended to be held hostage by the high priest. Afterwards, the high priest asked your father to meet me at Black Wind Cliff.
Perhaps out of concern and the heavy rain that day, your father didn't realize that the person being held hostage by the high priest wasn't his beloved woman."
Qu Li clenched his fingers tightly.
Even though she had never met Zhangsun Wuque, she still felt a sense of oppression in her heart when she heard about the past, and a violent anger surged in her chest...
