Chapter 1703: 1703: Obviously Up to No Good
“You did it on purpose! You waited here intentionally for me. How can you be so malevolent?”
At this moment, how could Gu Qingyu not see through their intentions? They had deliberately had the guards wait outside for her.
She thought, how come the guards who previously avoided her like the plague suddenly became receptive to her approach?
It turned out these people had intentionally revealed a flaw in front of her!
“Intentionally?”
Zhan Beiye ‘clacked’ the box shut in his hand.
“Are you trying to say that we brought this Gu insect to you or that we proposed you strike at our men? Along the way, the one who has been scheming is you, isn’t it?”
“I…”
Gu Qingyu opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a single retort.
She had schemed, but wasn’t it because she had no chance to get close to them? Qian Jiyun didn’t give her a chance, not to mention the man before her, Zhan Beiye.
Sometimes, she wondered, why that woman, An Jiuyue, could, but why not her?
In what way was she inferior to An Jiuyue?
She was the granddaughter of the Great Elder of the Qingyun Sect, pampered from a young age with endless sect resources, while what did An Jiuyue have? Probably just a stroke of luck to catch Qian Jiyun’s eye.
At most, An Jiuyue was just a slightly better alchemist.
“Lock her up. Once Lord Yan is conscious, we will deal with her,” Zhan Beiye said, no longer interested in discussing it further, and instructed Su Tang.
“Yes.”
With a single acknowledgment, Su Tang commanded the guards to take Gu Qingyu away.
“Prince Zhan, are Gu insects really that powerful?”
Once the person was taken away, his gaze shifted to the box in Zhan Beiye’s hand.
Having only heard of Gu, and never dealt with it himself, he wondered if such a tiny worm could really rob someone of their senses, making them obedient to anyone’s word?
He was curious, almost wanting to grab someone and test it.
“You want to try?”
Zhan Beiye lifted the box in his hand, asking him.
“Uh.”
Su Tang’s scalp tingled as he rapidly shook his head.
“No, I don’t wish to try, it looks nothing but wicked.”
Why would he test it? He didn’t wish to die but to continue serving his prince.
…
Inside An Jiuyue’s room.
As she placed a poisonous herb into the medicinal furnace, An Jiuyue listened to Wei Na speak.
About Xiang Qiyan’s condition, she had roughly learned from Wei Na’s account. However, she hadn’t expected that woman to be so daring, considering to turn cooked rice out of raw rice while Xiang Qiyan was unconscious.
Indeed, a person of great capacity, not sparing even someone grievously unconscious. Wasn’t she afraid that a careless move might kill Xiang Qiyan?
No wonder Zhan Beiye hadn’t been able to control himself and directly broke several of her ribs.
“Master, do you think Xiang Qiyan will kill Gu Qingyu?” Wei Na, sitting in a swing recently completed, carefully asked his master.
“He will.”
An Jiuyue answered with a single word.
“Hmm?”
Wei Na raised an eyebrow, feeling his master had given too straightforward of a response.
