Chapter 41

Hearing this, Zhang Xuerou looked dumbfounded, and her originally chaotic mind suddenly woke up.

During this time, she seemed to have been possessed by a poison. She knew that the queen had a high position and could kill the mother and daughter with just one sentence, but she still let Gu Yunxiao seduce the sixth prince and even wanted to be the sixth prince. mother-in-law...

She was so stupid.

Zhang Xuerou's eyes suddenly became sharp, "You have been plotting against me for a long time, right? What exactly do you want to do?"

Gu Linqiao sneered and said sarcastically, "What's the point of talking about this now?"

Zhang Xuerou suddenly stopped, yes, what's the use of talking about it now.

She failed, completely.

She couldn't beat Gu Linqiao at all.

Zhang Xuerou struggled to recognize this reality, endured all the unwillingness and hatred in her heart, and pretended to be calm and asked, "Tell me, what should I do to see my daughter?"

Gu Linqiao said, "Then it depends on whether you see life or death?"

"what?"

Zhang Xuerou's pupils dilated instantly, "Didn't you say that my daughter is dead? Are you lying to me? How is she?"

Gu Linqiao looked at her and said word by word, "If the queen wants her to die, I can tell her to live, so it depends on your choice."

Meeting her gaze, Zhang Xuerou shrank subconsciously. This time, she was actually afraid of Gu Linqiao getting up.

The last time Gu Linqiao knocked on the door and looked like he was about to eat someone, she didn't think it was that scary, but now she felt like Gu Linqiao's eyes could peel her skin off and tear her bones apart.

"I want Yun'er to live, what should I do?"

In a moment, Zhang Xuerou quickly made a choice. She firmly believed that as long as she lived, there would be hope.

Gu Linqiao said, "Live in the Hou Mansion and keep an eye on Gu Qiheng."

"Is it that simple?" Zhang Xuerou didn't believe it.

"It's that simple."

Gu Linqiao looked at her and sneered, "Maybe you can give me a reason for both you and Gu Yunxiao to live."

She knew that Zhang Xuerou had Gu Qiheng in her hands. Even if she injured Gu Qiheng like that, Gu Qiheng would not dare to kill her.

But if asked directly, Zhang Xuerou would definitely not tell her. It would be better to just leave her staring at Gu Qiheng and make Gu Qiheng sleepless and uneasy.

When river clams fight, the fisherman benefits. If two people fight to the death, any clues will naturally be exposed.

Zhang Xuerou paused for a while, and then said, "I know you hate Gu Qiheng, don't worry, he will not have an easy time with me here."

Gu Linqiao asked back, "Aren't you afraid that Gu Qiheng will kill you?"

Zhang Xuerou said proudly, "He doesn't dare!"

"You're really confident."

Gu Linqiao said this very calmly, then stood up and left.

Zhang Xuerou's expression suddenly froze, and she subconsciously asked, "Don't you ask me why he doesn't dare to kill me?"

Gu Linqiao laughed and said, "If I ask, will you tell me?"

Zhang Xuerou paused for a moment, then shook her head, "This is what I need to save my life. If I tell you, Gu Qiheng will really kill me."

Gu Linqiao's guess was accurate.

"So, instead of listening to you talk a lot of nonsense, it's better not to ask. I just want to see you torture each other and feel miserable."

Zhang Xuerou stared at her profile, gritted her teeth and said, "You are so cruel!"

Gu Linqiao said coldly, "Not one ten thousandth as good as you."

Zhang Xuerou said again, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell others that you are just pretending and that you are not mute at all? Or if I tell the queen, you are acting contrary to her instructions and not doing what she said." "Who believes it?"

Gu Linqiao blinked, and his beautiful face became a little more playful, but there was a murderous aura in the playfulness, which was even more penetrating.

Her words blocked all Zhang Xuerou's paths.

If you listen to Gu Linqiao's words, you can still live. If you do the opposite, your ashes will be spread.

Gu Linqiao threw a small porcelain bottle towards Zhang Xuerou.

Zhang Xuerou didn't dare to pick it up and asked subconsciously, "What is this?"

Gu Linqiao said, "Poison that can pierce your intestines and rot your belly."

Zhang Xuerou was startled and immediately hid more than a meter away, "I don't want to eat."

Gu Linqiao didn't care and said calmly, "If you don't take it, Gu Yunxiao will take it. The evil creature in her stomach probably can't bear such poisonous medicine..."

Zhang Xuerou looked shocked, "Yun'er's child... is still alive. What do you want to do?"

Gu Linqiao was too lazy to answer her and asked directly, "You eat it, or Gu Yunxiao?"

Zhang Xuerou shook for a moment, then rolled around and picked up the bottle of medicine and poured it into her mouth.

"Don't worry, I will give you the antidote regularly. As long as you obey, you won't die."

After saying that, Gu Linqiao turned and left.

Zhang Xuerou stared at her and then went to pick her own mouth, trying to spit out the medicine, but nothing came out after a long time.

Gu Linqiao's medicine melts in the mouth and quickly penetrates into the blood, making it impossible to spit it out.

Zhang Xuerou fell to the ground slumped, her eyes full of despair. She did not expect that after more than ten years of dominance in the Hou Mansion, she would end up like this... Shi Yeye.

……

With Gu Yunxiao's 'disappearance', the rumors in Kyoto slowly calmed down. Just mentioning the Yonglin Hou Mansion, the people couldn't help but make fun of it.

The Marquis Wugen who wanted to be angry after being cut off by his concubine, the concubine who dressed up as a brothel girl to seduce the prince, and the legitimate daughter who was poisoned to mute and was married to King Chongxi of Qi, just mentioning these words is a scene Big drama.

Gu Qiheng's wounds gradually healed, but when he thought about what the doctor said, he became furious and wanted to smash everything in the house.

But a few days after the explosion, he suddenly became quiet.

Gu Linqiao didn't find it strange, because she knew Gu Qiheng's situation well.

He searched around for doctors and finally found a charlatan who claimed to be able to regenerate his broken bones and make him a man again.

Gu Qiheng listened to these words and ordered people to go around to collect medicinal materials as the doctor said. Gu Linqiao didn't ask a single word. As long as he didn't disturb his grandmother, he could do whatever he wanted.

However, Nanny Qian couldn't help it and secretly asked Gu Linqiao if that recipe was real.
Gu Linqiao shook his head and said he didn't want to answer.

Grandma Qian thought she was saying that the recipe was useless, and she was immediately disappointed.

Gu Linqiao had a strange thought in his heart every time he saw Grandma Qian like this.

Grandma said it was because Gu Qiheng was similar to Grandma Qian's son and he grew up on Grandma Qian's milk, so Grandma Qian loved Gu Qiheng especially.

But she always felt that something wasn't right with such deep feelings. A lot of Granny Qian's behaviors made her feel as if Gu Qiheng was her biological son.

"Miss, it's me who talks too much today. From now on, I won't ask a word about anything that concerns the Marquis."

Aunt Qian suddenly spoke to Gu Linqiao with a serious look on her face and a sincere attitude.

Gu Linqiao looked at her in confusion. Aunt Qian sighed and said, "I am just the old lady's servant, but the Marquis is the old lady's son. He is not willing to be filial to the old lady, but I insist on being filial to the old lady." It’s really over the line to plead for him.”

Her attitude made Gu Linqiao happy, knowing that it was not too late to return from the lost path.
