C80 (1/2)
Seeing that, Bai Zhixi slowly squatted down, using her free hand to remove the black cloth that was covering the bamboo strings, and looked at her with a smile that was not a smile.
”Woo woo …”
The bamboo strings looked at the magnified face. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and goosebumps formed all over his body. His anxious heart was beating rapidly, and he was saying something nonstop. His body could not help but tremble as he retreated step by step.
”What's wrong? Do you want to speak? ”
Bai Zhixi suddenly took off the rag from her mouth and laughed. However, there was an irresistible coldness in his voice.
”Fifth Miss, why are you tying this servant up?”
In a split-second, the bamboo string seemed to have understood everything. It stared straight at her, unafraid at all.
”Speak!” How long have you been poisoning my grandfather's food? ”
Bai Zhixi's eyes flashed with killing intent, he never thought that his grandfather's most trusted person would actually poison him, if not for First Madam committing suicide this time, they would never know of this matter.
Hearing her words, Bamboo String left the room and looked at her with a puzzled expression. His eyes were filled with disbelief, as if he didn't know what she was talking about.
”Fifth Miss, you can accuse this servant wrongly now.” This servant was picked up by the old general and was extremely good to him. For the people of the world, this servant will definitely not harm any old general! ”
Suddenly, Bamboo String sat on the ground and wailed. It was filled with deep emotions, as if it had suffered a great grievance.
In that moment, Bai Zhixi's ears buzzed, she frowned, a look of killing intent flashed past her eyes, and she stuffed the torn cloth into her mouth.
She really didn't shed a tear until she saw the coffin. Did he really think that she was still that fool like before?
Raising her hand to her back, Lu Tan walked out from behind him. In her hand, she held something that looked like a piece of human skin.
”Did you see that? Do you think that First Madam would be suspicious if he saw her? ”
Lu Tan lightly pasted the skin on her face. Immediately, a woman who looked exactly like a bamboo string stood in front of everyone.
The bamboo string sitting on the ground saw the green sandalwood, his eyes were straight, repeatedly talking to himself, scared and frightened, his legs also did not listen to him, like sieve chaff began to tremble.
She now truly knew that she was wrong. She seemed to have seen herself die a horrible death because she had seen something she shouldn't have, and she had done something that wasn't human.
He wanted to ask the beautiful lady in front of him to let him go, but he was unable to say a word. After a while, he lost consciousness and was dragged out by Lan Yi and the rest.
”Miss, the person who retrieved the Gu for old general is here.”
Bai Zhixi looked over, at a place where it seemed like the end of the sunlight was standing, a tall man, the golden sunlight shone onto his body, causing the dark blue robe to become as dark as the night sky.
He slowly walked over, and as the golden light reflected off of his face, a delicate and pretty face could be seen. It was as comfortable as a clear spring that was flowing down to the bottom of one's heart.
When he stood in front of Bai Zhixi and bowed, he saw clearly that it was actually Fenghua.
”We pay our respects to Master!”
As he finished speaking, he stood by the side without moving an inch. No matter how Bai Zhixi sized him up, his expression did not change.
”He … ”How could it be …”
It wasn't that she was too excited, she just couldn't believe what she was seeing. That day at the Love Sea, she saw very clearly that the man before her was like a three year old child, and he definitely wasn't fake. But in the blink of an eye, it turned out to be a Gu dissolving expert. How could she not be shocked?
”Miss, I'm sure you haven't remembered yet. It was you who accidentally saved Dewang during the capital. After that, you threw him into the Love Sea and ignored him. It was fortunate that he was left with a lot of books on medicine, a manual on how to remove the poison, and his talent and endurance to achieve his current achievements. ”
Seeing her puzzled, the Blue Luan explained. However, the look in his eyes was extremely ambiguous. He stood next to the flower with a bashful look on his face. She then raised her head to look at Lan Yi, only to see him giving her a mysterious smile.
Afterwards, they headed to Old General Bai's residence to check on the situation. But in order to cure the poison, he said, he had to keep it for a day before he could take it out. Otherwise, there was no other way out. Helpless, they could only disperse.
At the same time, 'Bamboo String' was rushing to the Yi Qiu Pavilion, where the First Madam was staying, to report what had happened yesterday to her.
Walking to the door of Yi Qiu Pavilion, the number of guards outside was twice as many as before. It was likely that the First Madam was afraid of people seeking revenge! When the guard saw her, he exchanged a glance with her and let her in.
”This servant greets Madam.”
When she entered the room, she saw the First Madam sleeping soundly on the short red fox skin. The two little maidservant s beside her were massaging her shoulders nonstop, enjoying themselves to the extreme.
She did not open her eyes after the ”bamboo string” salute. She only slightly raised her hand, indicating that she should continue.
Soon after, the intermittent sounds of ”bamboo strings” resounded in the cold Yi Qiu Pavilion. It was extremely cold and seemed to contain strands of hatred.
Only after a full half an hour did she finish speaking, and under the First Madam's instructions, she slowly left.
