Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Granduncle, there are still empty rooms in grandmother’s courtyard. You can stay here for the time being.” Gu Qingxue wanted to leave with Old General Qi and did not want to disturb the people in the prince regent’s residence. However, Ah Zhan did not want her to mind such a small matter. He told her that she still had to detoxify him in addition to Madam Qi and Old General Qi.
Since that was the case, it was more convenient for them to live together. There was no need to bring them back to the Gu family and make her run back and forth.
“This old man has truly troubled Your Royal Highness. Xue’er, I’m happy for you. I’ve been through this before and can see that His Royal Highness’ feelings for you are not fake at all. If you follow him, your days will definitely be happy,” Old General Qi said sincerely.
Gu Qingxue nodded with a smile. Then, with Nanny Sheng, she led Old General Qi and Madam Qi to an empty seat in the room.
“Nanny, how is my grandmother’s health during the time I wasn’t around?” Gu Qingxue asked Nanny Sheng with a serious expression.
Nanny Sheng served tea to the three of them. ‘Eldest Miss, ever since Master Wen Jiang and you gave the Old Madam the new medicine, her condition hasn’t improved. Fortunately, it hasn’t worsened.”
“That’s good. At least it shows that the direction that Master and I are working hard in is not wrong. Grandmother is indeed poisoned.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she looked at the frowning Old General Qi. Without waiting for him to speak, she took the initiative to explain, “Speaking of which, 1 seem to have not explained the specific condition of your and Grandmother’s health.”
“Yes, because you said that it was best not to let too many people know about this matter. I was worried that the news would leak out, so I didn’t ask in detail,” Old General Qi said seriously.
“Along the way, Master and 1 carefully a.n.a.lyzed the situation of you and grandmother. In the end, we can confirm that the two of you were poisoned by the same kind of Gu. Moreover, the people who poisoned you used you and my grandmother’s blood to poison each other, which led to a special connection between your Gu Poisons.” Gu Qingxue explained slowly.
Old General Qi had been looking at Gu Qingxue seriously. Seeing her grave expression, he boldly guessed, “If I’m not wrong, this connection between me and my eldest sister shouldn’t be a good thing.”
Gu Qingxue nodded in agreement and said, “That’s right. This connection is a kind of mutual restraint for the two of you. For example, if 1 help you detoxify the poison now, then the poison in grandmother’s body will worsen faster.
The opposite is also true.”
“No wonder you find it troublesome.” Old General Qi was only surprised for a moment before he calmed down. Then, he said without thinking, “Qingxue, you don’t have to worry about me. I owe my elder sister too much in my life. Even if my elder sister was poisoned this time, if you didn’t say it, I wouldn’t have known at all. If you must choose someone to live, you should choose your grandmother.”
Seeing the stubborn look on Old General Qi’s face, Gu Qingxue’s heart softened. She knew very well that her granduncle was not lying.
A person’s eyes would not lie. He really planned to sacrifice himself to save Madam Qi.
“Granduncle, I won’t agree to it. Granduncle, you know Grandmother too. Do you think that after she wakes up and knows that she can live because she sacrificed you, she will still be able to accept it?” Gu Qingxue did not give Old
General Qi any chance to retort and asked directly..
