I originally thought there would be a fierce battle.
But she never thought that Mu Canling would be controlled by her so easily.
She quickly removed the dagger in her hand and pressed it firmly against his neck. For a moment, she did not recover.
So simple?
But Mu Canling had no sense of danger at all, and instead laughed softly.
"Qingqing, if you really want to leave, why are you so aggressive?" Mu Canngling said with a half-smile.
"Don't call me that!" Gu Jiuqing said angrily, "The King of Yue and I haven't gotten to know each other well enough!"
Mu Canling seemed stunned for a moment, but soon laughed loudly.
"I am presumptuous! If Miss Gu insists on leaving, I will not stop her.
But you saved my life after all. I don’t trust you to go into that dangerous situation alone. So, please ask Miss Gu to bring this doll with you! "Mu Canling said, waving gently, and a nearby guard stepped forward and stood in front of them respectfully.
"Doll?" Gu Jiuqing couldn't help but be surprised.
"That's right, a doll." Mu Canling said, "A doll with no heart, no heart, no sadness and no joy. From now on, he will be responsible for protecting Miss Gu."
"I don't need it." Gu Jiuqing recovered from the shock and said softly, "I understand the kindness."
"Miss Gu, please accept it! Only by taking him can we leave here safely." Mu Canling said, but his figure suddenly twisted.
The next moment, when Gu Jiuqing came to his senses, he was already standing firmly one step away from her, looking at her with a smile.
Gu Jiuqing, "..."
She asked how it was possible to hold him hostage so easily.
Although Mu Canling said nothing, his expression said everything.
Gu Jiuqing didn't hesitate any longer. Wasn't he just setting up an spy?
never mind!
Now that I can leave, I don’t believe I can’t get rid of him!
When Gu Jiuqing returned to Beijing again, he found that the situation was more serious than before.
There were almost no people on the street, but walking in in broad daylight felt like walking into a ghost town.
It’s only been a few days!
Gu Jiuqing sighed and came to Jishi Hall.
The shopkeeper almost cried when he saw him.
"Master Yunxiao, you are back! Everyone has fallen ill, and I am the only one left! I can't hold on any longer!"
"Where is everyone?" Gu Jiuqing couldn't help but worry.
The shopkeeper quickly led her into the backyard, and from a distance, she heard coughing one after another.
Bracelet immediately called the police again, and she quickly checked on everyone, only to find that the illness was different from before.
Although the symptoms appear to be the same on the surface, upon closer inspection, you will find that there are some differences.
"Why are everyone falling ill?" Gu Jiuqing said solemnly, "Did the prescriptions I left before not work?"
"The prescription worked before, and it did cure many people. But for some reason, everyone fell ill again just a few days after they recovered. This illness seems to be more serious than before!" the doctor said. , another heartbreaking cough.
"That's right. You have indeed recovered from your illness before. This time's illness is different from the previous one!" Gu Jiuqing said in a deep voice, "This one is more like being poisoned."
Because her space detected the same toxin from everyone.
And this toxin will cause everyone to show similar symptoms!
I'm just afraid that this disease is man-made!
"Ah? Poisoned!" Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, "But this time, almost everyone has the same symptoms. Could it be that they are all caused by poisoning? What should this be? It actually caused everyone to be poisoned!"
Gu Jiuqing shook his head. It was difficult to find out the cause of the disease for a while.
But at this time, the shopkeeper said coldly: "It must be those uneasy and well-meaning dogs in Nanyue who did it!"
"how do I say this?"
"Have you ever heard that Princess Jin murdered the Queen Mother and died in a sea of fire two days ago?" the shopkeeper said mysteriously.
"I heard about it, what happened next?" Gu Jiuqing didn't expect to get some news from the shopkeeper so soon.
The shopkeeper deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I heard that there was an injustice involved."
Gu Jiuqing made a surprised expression in response, and the shopkeeper continued: "Let's just say, how could Princess Jin not think about it and assassinate the Queen Mother? Not to mention whether she has that ability! Even if she did, she didn't Motive! Everyone knew that she had trouble with King Jin at the beginning. Who didn't know that King Jin was guilty of cheating? She had already been disappointed with him! How could she cause such a big trouble just for a mere concubine! However, These are all our speculations and cannot be explained to outsiders."
"I think your guess is accurate. Princess Jin does intend to reconcile with Prince Jin." Gu Jiuqing said casually, "I have been in contact with them and I know a little bit about it."
"That's right! My guess is quite right." The shopkeeper said proudly.
"But what does this have to do with Nanyue?" What Gu Jiuqing really cares about is this.
"I heard about this from others," the shopkeeper said.
"Princess Nanyue came here actually for the purpose of marriage. But she was unwilling to be a concubine, and the emperor did not dare to include the princess in the harem. He could only choose a few among the royal relatives for her to choose from.
And looking at the entire court, who could be a more suitable husband than the King of Jin? But on King Jin's side, he has a princess!
So the princess used a strategy of killing two birds with one stone, getting rid of the princess and the pregnant concubine at the same time. In this way, no one can stop her! Tell me, is she very sinister? "
Gu Jiuqing, "..."
I have to say that the shopkeeper's guess was quite reasonable.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the shopkeeper said again: "This matter is not groundless! At that time, King Jin did not believe that his concubine had murdered the Queen Mother, and he sent someone to investigate.
Later, I heard that they used some ghostly methods to find out the murderer of Princess Nanyue. She confessed on the spot! "
"Really? What happened to her later?" Gu Jiuqing really didn't expect that so many things would happen in such a short time since he left.
Yue Daiyun will be arrested, how can she give up?
Behind her is not only Nanyue, but also Duyuemen. These are not forces that are easy to mess with.
"Originally, we were going to deal with her, but later I heard that many people in the palace fell ill one after another. Most of them were symptoms of the plague outside the palace!
Even the emperor fell ill, and the imperial doctors were helpless. But at this time, the princess of Nanyue gave the prescription, and after some verification, it turned out to be really effective! "The shopkeeper said coldly, "Tell me, is there something fishy here? "
Gu Jiuqing nodded and said, "Since the prescription is effective, why is it not promoted?"
If it was really Nanyue who directed and acted, since they gave the recipe, it should be effective. So why is the situation in Beijing still so serious?
"This recipe has been announced by the imperial court!" the shopkeeper said with a wry smile, "I have it here too! But look... ugh!"
As the shopkeeper said this, he took out a prescription and sighed.
Gu Jiuqing took the prescription and glanced at it, instantly understanding his worries.
No wonder!
