C161 Gu organ(1)

"Cheng Jian died?" Gu Qingli couldn't believe it. How could such a bright and youthful smile disappear just like that? She had a sore nose and felt that Cheng's death had something to do with her.

"Bai Wanqing thinks that he was implicated by us and is now full of hatred towards me."

"Impossible." Gu Qingli said flatly, "This is not anger, this is estrangement. How did they find out about Cheng Wan Qing's identity, and guess that you wanted to rope in Bai Wanqing, causing all of you to go against your wishes … "

Her expression suddenly changed: "We neglected Ling Xinning!"

Ling Xinning lived in a stormy place, and there were always shadow guards watching over her, so she was not free. Seeing that Xiao Yi Xiu and Gu Qing Li had both walked in, he couldn't help but be stunned. He asked calmly, "What's the matter? Did you remember me?"

"Did you reveal Cheng Wang's identity to someone?"

"What's Cheng Wang's identity?" Ling Xinning's eyes were filled with doubt, "Is that the blackmailing guy?" In her mind, the only impression she had of Cheng was that he had knocked on the money for six sets of clothes.

Gu Qing Li and Xiao Yi Xiu looked at each other. They didn't think that she was faking it. "Cheng Jian is Bai Wanqing's nephew. When he was overseeing work on the Cloud Traversing River, he fell into the dam and was swept into the river."

"Who is Bai Wanqing?" Although Ling Xinning was also a scholar, she had never grown up in the capital. She was not clear about the situation in the imperial court and even Bai Wanqing was not aware of it.

Gu Qingli's heart relaxed, but then she became at a loss again. "If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"

Xiao Yi Xiu briefly explained the relationship between Bai Wanqing's position and Cheng Wang's, and Ling Xinning finally understood a little, "Bai Wanqing is the target of all the forces trying to fight for, and now that Cheng Qi is dead, it would be very difficult for you to fight for Bai Wanqing."

"If it's not you, then it must be those guys, but Cheng Wang shouldn't casually reveal his relationship with Bai Wanqing."

Ling Xinning frowned. "That's hard to say. Cheng Wang doesn't seem to be very shrewd …"

Gu Qingli said, "Actually, we should investigate just who we met and what we did."

Ling Xinning nodded, "And I think, you all know that Cheng Xiang is Bai Wanqing's nephew, so you all want to rope him in. Then, if the other party really kills Cheng Wang, even though it destroyed your relationship with Bai Wanqing, he himself wouldn't get much benefit, maybe …"

Xiao Yi Xiu nodded slowly. "That's right." He then looked at her with a faint smile. "Miss Ling, it's up to you whether or not we can destroy our marriage."

Ling Xinning pursed her lips as a trace of hatred flashed across her eyes.

Gu Qingli finally let out a sigh of relief as the two of them walked out of the rainstorm. She said in a low voice, "Really …" How much confidence do you have to knock them down? "

"It won't be that easy to overthrow Xiaoyi Mo. However, with Ling Xinning as a chess piece, Ling Yuanzhan will probably... To be betrayed by one's own daughter may not feel good. "

"This Ling Xinning is really cruel, even her father can sell."

Xiao Yixiu smiled calmly, "Being involved in the war between the imperial government and the imperial government, kinship is only a matter of making use of and not using it."

Gu Qingli suddenly grabbed his hand, a hint of disappointment in her eyes. "Xiao Yi Xiu, what would you do if Jiang Shan and I let you choose one of us one day?"

"There won't be that day." He lifted his hand and caressed her face. His fingertips rested on the red veil. Returning to the prince's mansion, in order to conceal her identity, Gu Qing Li still wore the red clothes of Li Yue, and Ling Xin Ning still treated her as a secondary wife.

"And if there is?" She stubbornly wanted to know what the result would be.

Xiao Yi Xiu raised his eyebrows slowly, "I want you too. If I give up on all of this, how can I protect you? "

Gu Qingli was silent.

The midnight moonlight shone on the bed, and two pairs of shoes lay neatly side by side.

The muslin curtain began to move slightly, and the fragrance filled the air. Gu Qing Li slipped past Xiao Yi Xiu's body and got out of bed.

She sat alone on the stone block under the moonlight. She closed her eyes and guided the flow of air through her body. Her breathing became more rapid as sweat began to seep out from her forehead.

In her previous life, she hadn't practiced inner force before Xiao Yi had taught her how to breathe and cultivate. However, she was extremely familiar with the meridian movement of the human body. It was easy to learn it.

Gu Qing Li's forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and his long and curvy eyebrows were furrowed. He seemed to be suffering from a pain that came from between his eyebrows. Her patience gradually increased until she bit her lower lip and bled. Finally, she couldn't hold it anymore and let out a low cry of pain.

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw a black gas condensing around her fingertip. However, she could not force it out of her body so easily. She wanted to see what it was.

She only knew that it was a slender black Gu. When it came out from Fang Yanzhu's fingertip, she did not see it clearly, but when it entered her body, she did not see it clearly. If she did not find out, it would be very difficult for her to find a way to cure it.

She only knew that when the Gu worm was in her body, if she did not provoke it, it would be as if it did not exist. She would not be in pain, nor would she feel it, but once she moved against it, and even had thoughts of harming it, it was as if it had telepathic senses, causing her extreme pain.

"Qing Li, what are you doing?"

Xiao Yixiu's voice suddenly rang out from behind him. Gu Qing Li shuddered and regained his senses. The black Qi condensed at the tip of his fingers dissipated in a flash. His body spasmed as he cried out in pain.

Xiao Yi Xiu was shocked and rushed forward to hug her. He looked down to see her face as she tried to resist the pain. He suppressed his anger and asked, "What have you hidden from me?"

Gu Qingli wanted to speak, but she felt cold all over, as if she had fallen into an icehouse. Even her teeth were chattering loudly.

Xiao Yi Xiu didn't understand what was happening, but seeing her change in expression, his face turned pale and started to tremble uncontrollably. He stopped asking questions and hurriedly carried her back to her room.

The cold energy in Gu Qing Li's body gradually dispersed, and the pain returned. She trembled and spasmed as she bit her lower lip, causing Xiao Yi Xiu's heart to clench tightly.

"Qing Li, Qing Li!"

The pain in Gu Qingli's body finally subsided bit by bit. It was as if the Gu worm in her body had sensed that her killing intent had faded away.

"How is Qing Li?"

Gu Qing Li opened his eyes slightly, and upon seeing the concern and heartache on his face, his heartstrings trembled as tears began to flow.

"Xiao Yi Xiu …" "Yi Xiu …" She threw her arms around him, and fear rose in her.

"What's wrong? What exactly are you hiding from me? "

"I might... I'm going to die. "

"Nonsense!" What exactly happened? "

She took a deep breath and slowly regained her senses. She lightly shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I just had a nightmare."

Xiao Yi Xiu's face darkened, "Qing Li! Do you think I'm stupid enough to believe your excuse? Or is it that we don't even have this much trust between us? "

"I …"

"Or do you think I'm incapable of helping you? So you're just hiding it from me? "

"Don't worry, I can take care of it myself. For the time being, there won't be any danger to my life."

Xiao Yi Xiu pursed his lips, but didn't say anything.

"Xiao Yi Xiu …"
