After the waiter had served all the dishes, there were a total of eighteen dishes. Even if Helian Yu and Han Ying Xue didn't leave, the three of them still wouldn't be able to eat so much.
Gu Qingli took a silver ingot and said, "Second brother, I'll have to trouble you to go to Prince Mo's Mansion and inform them to come and fetch Princess Mo."
She had been a lot more cautious after the last incident. Even though the streets of the capital were empty, she still didn't want to take the risk alone. She touched her belly. Since she had decided to give birth, regardless of whether the child was alive or dead, healthy or handicapped, she would prioritize his safety. She could no longer be as reckless as before.
The waiter was overjoyed at the unexpected windfall and went to answer.
Gu Qing Li ate until she was almost full, not daring to eat again. She called for someone to help her pack, but the one who came up was a woman with slow footsteps. She was dressed in blue and white clothes with her head lowered.
Gu Qingli quietly watched her pack up the dishes on her plate. Suddenly, without warning, she raised the silver in her hand and shot it at her, straight into her opponent's eyes.
The green-clad girl avoided it with her back to the ground. With a nimble movement of her delicate body, she directly used the plate to withstand the attack and poured the soup all over the table. The dishes on the table were ruined.
Gu Qingli sneered, "Good skill indeed."
The woman also chuckled, "When did you recognize him?"
"A woman like you doesn't even have the scent of oil smoke. How can you have a good rouge scent?"
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk …" At the same time, several other women entered the room. The one in the lead was the same as the azure-dressed woman; her face was a bit stiff.
All of them were familiar with each other – Gu Qingruo, Xing'er, Rui Zhu.
Gu Qingli sucked in a breath of cold air as the woman with the stiff face charged forward to attack.
"If my guess is correct, you are Zhou Zhen and Little Chan?" She gave a little sneer. Why did he not dare to reveal his true identity? Wasn't he just afraid that she would guess his identity?
The two women giggled and jumped out of the battle. One of them replied: "That's right, but these two identities are fake. If you can guess our real identities, then that's the real deal."
Listening to their accents, Zhou Zhen and Little Chan were only impersonators, and they themselves should be people that Gu Qingli knew? Countless thoughts flashed through her mind but she was still unable to recall them. However, she was still in deep thought.
"Stop stalling for time, the waiter you sent won't be back." Gu Qing Ruo knew that she was delaying her decision. Smiling, she asked, "Dear little sister, do you know whose business this hotel belongs to?"
An idea suddenly flashed through Gu Qing Li's mind. She remembered that Xiao Yi Mo had once asked to meet with Luo Yun here. He immediately understood. "This is the property of the Mu King Manor?"
Gu Qingruo smiled, "That's right, so you won't leave today."
"You and I are blood-related sisters. You want to kill your own sister with these two weird girls of unknown origins?"
"Since when are you my sister?" Gu Qingruo's smile suddenly disappeared, "I've suspected your identity since a long time ago. Are you really still Gu Qingli? Or was it just a woman called Li Yue? "Gu Qingli doesn't know medicine and has been a coward since childhood. She never resists when things happen and accepts them obediently. As for you, you descended from the sky with astonishing medical skills and even helped me cure the poison in my body …"
At this point, she began to tremble slightly: "You simply didn't have any good intentions. You tricked me into having an abortion, causing me to be unable to bear another child. From then on, I will lose the love of King Mu!"
Gu Qingli looked at her in disbelief. This woman was actually so good at reversing the truth. She was the one who insisted on having an abortion, and she even tried to persuade her, but now she blamed it on her?
"With your medical skills, it could have helped me avoid infertility. You did it on purpose! "Following that, you couple persecuted King Mu over and over again …"
Gu Qingli raised a hand to stop her from continuing. This woman was most likely not suffering from a delusion of being killed. Her heart was filled with evil thoughts, and she even thought of others as the same as her?
"Just tell me what you want to do today." Since Gu Qing Ruo suspected her identity, there was no point explaining it, so she decided to be more open with her words.
"I want you dead!" Gu Qingruo's eyes were full of ruthlessness, and her laughter was filled with killing intent.
"So, you're going with them?" Gu Qingli pointed at the two women in front of her, finding them laughable. Gu Qingruo probably didn't know the identities of these two women. They had tried to get even with the tiger, so she thought that he would have a good ending?
"The Crimson Gu in your body …"
"This is also one of their exchange conditions. I will help them lure you here, and if they remove you, they will naturally remove the Crimson Gu in my body."
"I'm afraid you don't understand the meaning behind the Gu in your body? The thing that entered your body is the parent Gu, once it lives in a person's body, that person will become a Gu Master, with the Gu there, the Gu dies and the person dies! "
"Don't talk to her too much, attack!" The two girls looked at Gu Qingruo with wide eyes, then exchanged glances and attacked her from both sides.
"They want to kill me because they want to get the profound Gu out of my body. If I'm alive, they won't be able to get the Gu …" I know who you are! "
In the midst of her bustle, she spoke to the azure-dressed woman in front of her: "You are Little Chan, but your true identity is Ling Xinning.
The woman was startled. Her hands and feet slightly slowed as she laughed, "You are indeed Li Yue. But now, I am no longer afraid that you will see through me."
She took off the mask on her face with her free hand and said with a faint smile, "I didn't expect that the wangfei would recognize me after such a long time."
Gu Qingli sneered, "When you followed your highness back to the palace, it wasn't just to testify against that father of yours that you despised, right? During those days, you have already understood some of the matters of the Mo King's Manor. Entering the manor once again, you cleverly used the past to create a murder case, scaring the crap out of Wu Yu and forcing Cheng Ying to leave. If I guessed correctly, you wanted to blame all of this on the Mo Residence, didn't you? "
"That's right, it's a pity that you two are really treacherous. To think that you could actually escape with your golden cicada, but you used my hand to bring down Xin Yining. Truly amazing." Ling Xinning giggled, her charming eyes glanced at her, but her hands did not relax in the slightest.
"Whose people are you?"
Beside her, Zhou Zhen had also taken off her human skin mask. She smiled at her in a gentle and proper manner and said gently, "There's no need for this wangfei to know. But perhaps, when you are dead, Hades will tell you kindly? "
"Hand over the Xuan Gu and we won't let you die too miserably."
"With just the two of you, what can't I do?!" Suddenly, Gu Qingli's silver needle dropped down like a flower from heaven, enveloping everyone within it.
Zhou Zhen and Ling Xinning dodged agilely. Although one or two of them had broken through the skin, it was not a big deal. Gu Qingruo and the other two were in trouble as they were stabbed by several needles. For a time, they could only hear Gu Qingruo's screams. She was originally a delicate daughter of the Prime Minister's house and had never suffered much in her life. Just a few silver needles were enough to make her cry out in pain.
Strangely, Xing'er and Rui Zhu remained standing, unmoving. Their eyes glazed over. After the silver needles pierced them, they let the blood flow through their skin and soak their clothes, but they still didn't blink.
Gu Qingli understood that these two must have been controlled by the Gu and had completely become puppeteers.
Zhou Zhen and Ling Xinning were in a sorry state for only a second before they jumped back and began to form strange hand seals. Their hand gestures were completely different, and accompanying their soft voices that sounded like it came from nowhere was something that seemed like a venom.
Gu Qing Li suddenly felt bad, knowing that they were trying to summon a Gu worm to aid them in their battle. Although she was also a Gu Master, she had no idea how to summon the Gu in her body.
