Du Ying gave Gu Qingli a puzzled look, but her eyes calmed down. "What happened next?"
Du Ying's eyes dimmed. "Later on, I quietly retreated. Before I could even enter the house, I saw him come out. "When he saw me, he seemed very surprised. She followed the warm incense out …"
With shock and doubt in his eyes, he approached her and asked a few questions. She was very nervous and deliberately changed the subject, asking him what to do with the child in his womb.
He seemed to be in a dilemma, but in the end, he still patted her face. "I'll think of a way. Wait for me." It was still a perfunctory tone.
Du Ying's heart turned cold. She told her to wait, but she couldn't wait anymore after four months.
He left her and went over to whisper a few more words to her, and she saw the warmth of his eyes in the moonlight and glanced at her, hard to make out.
"That Young Master Xiao of yours wants to kill you."
"No no …" "He …" Du Ying's voice weakened again, but she still shook her head. "It must be that Wen Xiang suspected that I listened to their conversation and wanted to silence me."
"If your Young Master Xiao doesn't give the order, would she dare?"
"He just ignored me and decided that there was no need for me to exist." Du Ying lowered her head sadly.
"Either way, you want to swallow your anger like this?"
"Or what?"
"Live." Gu Qingli thought for a moment. "You've been doing this for over four months. Not only are you injured, you might even take your life. You have to give him birth."
Du Ying looked at her in shock. "How is that possible? Mommy wouldn't allow it …"
Gu Qingli sneered, "Just tell me if you want to or not."
"I want to …" Du Ying hesitated for a moment. Actually, she couldn't tell if she wanted to or not, but she still felt that there was life in her stomach, and she was still a little reluctant to part with that man since he didn't want her anymore. Furthermore, since Gu Qingli had said so, she had to consider the dangers of abortion over and over again.
"Breaking it is but a piece of meat, but life is life. That Young Master Xiao of yours might be heartless to you, but he might not be so heartless to your child."
Du Ying hesitated for a while before slowly nodding.
"Can he change his mind and look at your methods? Look at your appearance, you are already used to being aloof. You don't know how to catch a man, right?" You always wanted him to marry you, but from what you said, his status is very prestigious, so it's definitely impossible for him to give you a name. However, if it's just a secret room, he might be willing. "
"But what am I going to do in his darkroom?" Du Ying's eyes were filled with tears. Although she was born in the mortal world, she loved herself and was also a renowned courtesan in the capital. She never sold herself.
Gu Qingli sneered, "Do you still want his heart? If he doesn't treat you well, you have to make him feel bad! If he really is the one who instigates warmth and fragrance in people, then you have to show him how great you really are! " |
"I can't …"
"No one can help you! If not, I will give you a set of abortion pills. If you take one corpse and two lives, then you have to muster up your energy to deal with him! First of all, let him agree to you having this baby! Since he didn't force you to kill him, you'll have a chance to give birth to him, understand? "
Du Ying was still hesitant, but when she saw the charred ground, she suddenly felt pain in her heart. She gritted her teeth: "Right, he's heartless to me, why should I hurt myself? I want to make him suffer as well! "
Gu Qingli nodded approvingly, "Go call the warm fragrance in now. Jin Rou, you have to pretend to be very flustered and say something happened to Miss Du Ying."
Jin Rou, on the other hand, was quite quick-witted. She immediately ran out of the room, and heard her panicking voice from the corridor, "Oh no! Miss Wen Xiang, you've had some chicken soup. You're crying about your abdominal pain!"
The warm fragrance came in without stopping, and as it walked it lowered its voice and said, "Shh! "Don't yell, Du Ying doesn't want anyone to know that she's in bad health."
Jin Rou's voice sank.
When she entered the room, she saw Du Ying curled up in a ball on the bed, her hair hanging down in a mess and still twitching.
Jin Rou closed the door and carefully walked over. Just as she pulled Du Ying's shoulder, she suddenly saw an unfamiliar face, and before she could react, the woman had already sat up. She quickly grabbed her chin and stuffed a pill into her mouth.
Following that, the woman raised her hand. A red veil covered her face, revealing only a pair of eyes that were as bright as autumn water.
Warm Fragrance didn't even have time to see what the other party looked like.
The one who had changed into Du Ying's clothes was naturally Gu Qingli. She straightened her clothes and sat upright on the bed. Only then did Du Ying appear from behind the screen, staring coldly at the kneeling, warm and fragrant scent.
"Now that you've taken my poison, if you don't get the antidote on a regular basis, I can guarantee that you'll die miserably. If you don't believe me, take a deep breath and feel the pain in your lower abdomen. "
Warm Fragrance took a deep breath. As expected, she felt a hidden pain in her lower abdomen and could not help but turn pale from fright. "You …" "Who are you and what are you doing?"
"You don't have the right to know who I am. The answer I'm asking you now is fake —" She suddenly stretched out her hand. Her two fingertips flashed with a silver light as she pressed them against Wen Xiang's throat.
Warm Fragrance was scared out of her wits and she begged for mercy before revealing that Xuanhua Pavilion was owned by the Empress's brother, the minister of war, Xin Yingning. In reality, it was the biggest undercover organization of the Xin family in the capital.
Even though the Xuanhua Restaurant was a brothel, it was an elegant pavilion, a place that specialized only in elegant courtesans. People like Du Ying, who were both beautiful and beautiful, were only for the royalty to enjoy themselves, and they would not easily accept guests.
Those who could afford to spend money here were either rich or wealthy. When these people arrived at Xuanhua Tower, they would sometimes discuss some private matters or reveal some secret to the people lying in bed. Therefore, there were quite a number of amorous officials in the capital who were in the hands of the Xin Family.
These secret files were kept in the secret room of the Flower Pavilion.
The Warm Fragrance was the head of the spies that infiltrated Xuanhua Restaurant. Of course, there were a few girls like Du Ying who didn't know anything about it. However, this didn't prevent Warm Fragrance from finding out about the news from their mouths.
"Very good." Gu Qingli finished listening. "Take me to the secret room."
Warm Fragrance was shocked, "No, young master knows he will take my life!"
"Who is the young master?"
"It was sent by the Xin family to help me. He is very mysterious, even I do not know his true identity. Moreover, he originally came very rarely, and was often met with the empress's eunuchs or maids to assist him, but afterwards it was because of Du Ying that she often came. "
"Then was the poison ordered by him?"
Warm Fragrance shook her head, "That's not true, but I don't think Du Ying should know too much."
"Aren't you afraid that the young master will blame you if he finds out that you poisoned her?"
Warm Fragrance glanced at Du Ying: "Young Noble has so many women, why would he care about a mere brothel lady? If she is dead, Young Master will not pity her. "
Du Ying's face gradually paled, and her gaze slowly turned cold.
