Chapter 495: Chapter 353: Eat Their Flesh, Drink Their Blood

"Hey! Could you tone it down a bit? You’ve had your fill of looking! Staring any longer won’t make the beautiful man yours! Didn’t you see I’ve painfully restrained myself and can’t bear to look anymore?" Gu Changsheng spoke with an embarrassed face, rubbed his nose, and added, "If you keep gawking, your elder brother will be tempted to stab the watchtower to pieces with his glare!"

Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian immediately rose to her feet.

She was actually a bit afraid of her icy elder brother, but that didn’t stop her from delighting in the misfortune of others!

"Gu Changsheng, you’re really pitiful! Even looking at a beautiful man makes you act like a thief!"

"Wait until you meet someone like that; you’ll also be walking on eggshells!" Gu Changsheng retorted without hesitation.

Ni Ma, just thinking about it is suffocating! What’s so great about being in a relationship?

For the sake of one crooked tree, I’ve given up an entire forest, haven’t I?

Just the thought of the forest’s unique scenery made Gu Changsheng clutch his wrist in frustration!

So what about her grand plan of keeping beautiful men? Is it over before it even began?

"Let’s go, let’s go! They can have their state visits! Let’s head home obediently and have our lunch! I don’t know what delicious things Xiao Leizi has cooked up today!" Gu Changsheng, still looking lovelorn and reluctant, pulled Borjigin Nian away from the wall.

Borjigin Nian, just like him, said with a face full of yearning, "Gu Changsheng, you must not disappoint me with your Flower Peacock!"

"Absolutely, absolutely!" Gu Changsheng nodded emphatically.

Guo Daqian, who had been waiting nearby, saw the two of them leaving and immediately felt relieved, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead!

This time it was real cold sweat!

Winter was almost here, and he was breaking out in a cold sweat, which speaks volumes about how scared these two ancestors had made him!

"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and come with me to escort the two down the watchtower!" Finally able to send off these two big figures, Guo Daqian decisively called his daydreaming subordinates.

Godfather! Thank goodness they’re gone!

If they hadn’t left, I could have been scared to death!

Gu Changsheng and Borjigin Nian had seen the most handsome man of Southern Chen and had wanted to stroll around the streets, but with everyone heading to the city gate for Qingcheng’s appearance, didn’t the shops end up deserted?

Seeing this, the two of them had no choice but to return home disheartened!

Later, they heard that the Crown Prince of Southern Chen and his party had settled in a separate residence next to Prince Mu’s Mansion, and were even eagerly collecting all sorts of precious medicinal herbs from Liuzhou to give to that little bitch Huo Shuixian!

If you ask Gu Changsheng how she knew? Because her Longevity Medical Hall was also on the Crown Prince of Southern Chen’s collection list, and it was targeted, top of the list type of targeted!

Gu Changsheng, without hesitation, presented several precious medicinal herbs that Elder Yhan had given her, and in return, she netted a hefty sum of silver!

As for silver, Gu Changsheng has always welcomed more!

Don’t question it! Having an eye for money and not having money is absolutely not feasible, understand? Not earning money when it’s right there is foolish!

While enjoying the drama, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but sulk, "Damn, looking at the Crown Prince Chen’s grand gestures, he seems like he’ll hang around Liuzhou City for a while, huh?"

Damn it!

Zhou Mu allowing him to stay in Liuzhou City for a while was definitely just polite talk, okay?

This Crown Prince Chen really doesn’t know how things are done, taking a chicken feather as a command arrow, really taking it seriously?

However, the arrival of the Crown Prince of Southern Chen hadn’t affected Gu Changsheng’s life in the slightest.

Lord Tan Nv’s improving condition, the bragging of Liuzhou’s doctors didn’t need to be mentioned, Gu Changsheng himself was living quite a comfortable life!

Why?

Because no one was causing trouble!

Life without annoyances is as solitary as the snow. Apart from eating, she really didn’t know what else to do!

...

At Prince Mu’s Mansion, in the Lansheng Courtyard!

"My lord, the Crown Prince of Southern Chen has been here for two days now, sending one precious item after another to Paulownia Courtyard; isn’t it about time we wake Miss Huo up?" Yuan Bao asked respectfully.

Zhou Mu stood tall and straight by the window and sighed upon hearing this, "Having been at peace for so many days, I honestly don’t want her to wake up yet!"

He truly detested Huo Shuixian’s clingy skills!

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao’s plump baby face immediately drooped, and he quickly stepped forward to persuade, "My lord! It’s not good to drink sleeping potions every day, what if we accidentally poison Miss Huo to death? The Crown Prince Chen is still waiting!"

"What’s the harm in making him wait a bit longer?" Zhou Mu spoke coldly, with a mocking curve on his lips, "The more I prevent him from seeing her, the more eager he becomes, increasingly infatuated with Huo Shuixian!"

That was exactly the effect he wanted!

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao quickly agreed, "That makes sense, my lord! Sima Changhao has already sent several groups trying to infiltrate Paulownia Courtyard to gather information. If our defenses weren’t so strict, they would have found their chance!"

"Hehe, that’s just the start! I’m sure others aren’t far behind! Issue the command, as soon as the people from the North arrive, let those who came from the Capital outside the Liuzhou Region be released!" Zhou Mu sneered and gave the order.

"Yes!"

"Have someone stop administering the anesthetic. It’s time for her to wake up," Zhou Mu said, feeling somewhat reluctant.

But Yuan Bao didn’t dare give his master the chance to regret it, responding immediately and rushing out.

In fact, Huo Shuixian’s injuries were not that severe, even if they were internal. She should have woken up a few days ago, but his master disliked Huo Shuixian’s entanglement, so the anesthetic was openly and continuously poured down!

Thinking of Huo Shuixian, Yuan Bao couldn’t help but curl his lip—’Evil begets evil’ really hit the nail on the head here!

Although Lord Tan Nv had escaped danger, she was still lying in bed recuperating. It was unreasonable for Huo Shuixian, the main culprit who had harmed Lord Tan Nv, to be at ease!

It was only right to let her suffer, but even so, it hardly eased the hatred in his heart!

Even after the anesthetic was stopped, Huo Shuixian still did not wake up after being dosed for several continuous days.

"Gu, Chang, sheng!"

In the middle of the night, a hoarse and forceful shout suddenly echoed in the Paulownia Courtyard, startling many.

Huo Shuixian, frail and leaning on Ru Ge’s shoulder, shouted furiously, her chest still heaving.

Her injuries were this severe! Covered in bruises that hadn’t faded was one thing.

But the key was her inner strength!

Her inner strength was gone! She had just awoken to this reality, and Huo Shuixian immediately became as crazed as though she had been struck by lightning!

Her inner strength had disappeared! The Gu insects she had meticulously nurtured inside her body for over a decade were nowhere to be found!

Huo Shuixian, with a ferocious face, clutched Ru Ge’s arm tightly and spoke through gritted teeth, "Gu Changsheng! It must be Gu Changsheng!"

From a hidden expert to an ordinary person, Huo Shuixian found it difficult to accept such a change all at once!

From now on, she no longer had any powerful backing to rely upon!

Remembering her secretive visits to the Gu Residence, Huo Shuixian knew that her nanny was likely in grave danger, and now she had lost everything due to Gu Changsheng...

"Pfft!"

Furious to the extreme, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Huo Shuixian’s mouth.

This frightened Ru Ge and Ru Yu.

"Miss! Miss, you’ve just recovered from a serious illness; you must not get angry!"

"Miss, calm down, we can slowly plan for anything. Why worry about not being able to avenge a great wrong?" Ru Yu rushed forward to wipe the blood from Huo Shuixian’s mouth, only to be pushed away by her hand.

With a faint trace of fresh blood still lingering on her mouth, Huo Shuixian’s stunningly beautiful face was distorted with hatred, her eyes filled with a blood-red color, the monstrous loathing heaving in her chest, her fingers tightly digging into her palms...

Only this bone-deep pain affirmed her sense of being alive!

"Gu, Chang, sheng! I, Huo Shuixian, will never share the sky with you! I swear to eat your flesh and drink your blood!"

Huo Shuixian enunciated each word, teeth clenched in utterance!

Upon hearing these words, Ru Ge and Ru Yu’s hearts trembled!

They were somewhat afraid of their Miss like this! No! To be precise, they had always been afraid of their Miss!

Because their Miss, just like Nanny Xu, was unfathomable!

"Miss, this is the Blood Ginseng sent by the Crown Prince of Southern Chen, it’s very nourishing. Please drink some!" Ru Yu carefully brought forward a bowl of ginseng porridge, her face showing a trace of unease.

"Crown Prince of Southern Chen?" Huo Shuixian, having been unconscious for days, was oblivious to external affairs. Upon hearing about the Crown Prince of Southern Chen, the blood faded from her eyes, replaced by a hint of surprise and uncertainty.

"Yes, Miss! The Crown Prince of Southern Chen is on a diplomatic mission to Great Zhou, passing through the Liuzhou Region to visit His Highness Prince Mu!" Ru Yu hurriedly explained, and then with eyes brimming with joy, she added, "Miss doesn’t know, but the Crown Prince of Southern Chen has been sending many tonics these past few days, each more valuable than the last!"

"That’s right, Miss! The Crown Prince of Southern Chen is the future Emperor of Southern Chen, and he treats you, Miss, with such exceptional regard. Surely your reputation as the most beautiful woman in the world must also be widely acclaimed in Southern Chen!" Seeing that her mistress’s mood had lightened a bit, Ru Ge hurriedly added.

Confident in her unrivaled beauty, Huo Shuixian had always been certain about this point. Her only curiosity was why the Crown Prince, with his esteemed status, would bother to visit Great Zhou.

"Miss, we wouldn’t know about these matters concerning the state and the nation. With the Crown Prince’s extraordinary status and the special attention he pays to you, Miss, this is good news!" Ru Ge said with an ingratiating smile.

At this, Huo Shuixian’s expression relaxed slightly, but the hatred for Gu Changsheng still seethed in her heart.

The Gu insects she had painstakingly nurtured for over a decade! Her robust inner strength vanished without a trace! Even if she were to start over, it would not be an overnight task; how could she not hate?

As long as Gu Changsheng was alive, the hatred in her heart would not subside.

"During these days of my unconsciousness, how was Brother Mu?" Huo Shuixian asked with a grim face.

At the mention of Zhou Mu, Ru Yu and Ru Ge couldn’t help but shrink back a little...
