Free Web NovelChapter 1740: Chapter 1350: Among Them Are Foolish Lovers!
"Changsheng, let go, he is Shi Wujue’s confidant and knows about the Qianji Poison in my body. It’s no surprise..."
Zhou Mu’s voice remained deep, calm, and unruffled.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately turned around in disbelief, looking at the evildoer, at that familiar face of hers. "What did you say?"
On the way back, Gu Changsheng considered many possibilities...
For example, that Duo Shu and Zhou Mu’s involvement in the Qianji Poison matter, or perhaps Shi Wujue was also involved...
She thought about it, and when it came time to confront, Shi Wujue would exonerate his confidant...
But after considering all possibilities, she never expected that the first to speak in exoneration would be Zhou Mu!
"When I was poisoned back then and headed south to Liuzhou, it was your grandfather who stabilized the situation for me. But after a long period of consuming the Qianji Poison, the poison in my body has already seeped into my organs. Even though your grandfather’s medical skills are superb, it couldn’t change anything. Therefore, helplessly, I asked my sect and Shi Wujue to help me search for a cure for the poison!" Seeing Gu Changsheng look over, Zhou Mu sighed and slowly said, then reached out, opened Gu Changsheng’s hand that was blocking Shi Wujue, guiding her to take a few steps back, saying, "So, Shi Wujue has always known about the Qianji Poison in my body. And since I entrusted him to search for the antidote, as Master of Linyuan City, it’s naturally unlikely he would personally handle it. It’s no surprise that his confidants know about it..."
Gu Changsheng heard this and her bright little face immediately displayed changeable expressions...
Hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth, "So, he and back then..."
"Yes! He is not related to my poisoning!" Before Gu Changsheng could finish speaking, Zhou Mu nodded and said.
He naturally knew what his little woman was thinking deep down!
The Imperial Palace and the courtyards of grand households are never short of private malicious deeds. However, this Qianji Poison, such cruel methods, are not something ordinary women could employ. Gu Changsheng had always wanted to know where Zhou Mu’s Royal Mother, that damned one, learned this heartless poisoning method. But she never found out!
Therefore, when encountering Qianji Poison again, she couldn’t help but overthink it!
But after hearing Zhou Mu’s words, Gu Changsheng realized she had overthought!
This result was beyond Gu Changsheng’s expectations, and thinking about the way she just accused, inevitably placed herself with a small-minded heart. Gu Changsheng’s expression immediately became somewhat awkward, "Shi..."
Opening her mouth, Gu Changsheng felt that knowing one’s mistakes and correcting them is of great value. At this time, she ought to put aside any airs and admit her mistake to Shi Wujue!
"Servant! You’ve dared to target Zhou Mu again? You! You! Who allowed you to be so presumptuous? What position have you put this City Lord in?"
"Boom!"
But just as Gu Changsheng said a word, Shi Wujue’s indignant voice reached her ears, followed by a loud bang as something hit the ground!
Turning her head, Gu Changsheng saw that in Shi Wujue’s rage, Duo Shu had already been kicked out of the hall!
The people waiting outside the door, especially Diao Chan, watched as Duo Shu’s body fell disgracefully, momentarily unsure what to do. Seeing Shi Wujue come out angrily, they could only pretend not to see, focusing on themselves.
Diao Chan and the others could pretend not to see, but Gu Changsheng could not!
The recent kick by Shi Wujue was far more severe than Gu Changsheng’s previous actions!
After all, Gu Changsheng was cautious in Shi Wujue’s presence, but Shi Wujue really showed no restraint in disciplining his own servant!
At this rate, if the person doesn’t resist at all, and Shi Wujue strikes a couple more times, he might just vent the person to death...
This isn’t good...
After all, he is Shi Wujue’s confidant!
For someone in power, a confidant is like an arm or a leg. Gu Changsheng felt that Shi Wujue’s act of self-sabotage had a lot to do with her...
If not for her presence, Zhou Mu wouldn’t have gotten between Shi Wujue and his confidant...
Though Gu Changsheng didn’t want to dwell on it, the emotions were real and existed!
This trivial affair, forcing Shi Wujue to commit self-sabotage, Gu Changsheng herself felt it overdone...
She didn’t believe those with murderous intent towards her evildoer deserved to live, but their actions, while deserving of death, were due to her being the central cause, which was somewhat embarrassing...
"Shi Wujue, enough!"
Thinking it over, Gu Changsheng spoke up to persuade.
"Beauty, you needn’t plead for this presumptuous servant. He doesn’t learn from mistakes. Despite being warned after the Valley of Forgetfulness incident, he remains audacious, this time acting so blatantly!" Shi Wujue said immediately upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, his stunning face flushed with anger, displaying that this time his fury was genuine, "A servant that puts this City Lord’s reputation at risk is useless! Better to resolve him than let him tarnish my legacy!"
Speaking, Shi Wujue walked towards Duo Shu, who was curled up on the ground!
"Shi Wujue! Enough is enough! If we’re talking about ruthlessness, your actions are what put me in a ruthless position!" Seeing this, Gu Changsheng stepped forward, loudly rebuking.
Shi Wujue froze when he heard this, turning to look at Gu Changsheng, his eyes filled with astonishment...
With their eyes meeting, the bright face of Gu Changsheng was full of seriousness. She turned her head, glanced at Duo Shu, and spoke in a deep voice, "Thinking above and thinking below, it’s the servant’s duty to relieve the master’s worries and labor. Shi Wujue, he did nothing wrong. The one at fault is me!"
Gu Changsheng’s words had a certain disjointed flavor!
However, everyone present was intelligent; how could they not understand the underlying meaning of her words?
After finishing her sentence, Gu Changsheng said no more, turned around, and headed towards the room where Yu Lianyi was placed...
Watching Gu Changsheng’s departing figure, Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue’s faces were full of uncertainty and suspicion!
"Beauty!"
Unable to hold back, Shi Wujue called out, halting Gu Changsheng’s departure.
Gu Changsheng paused in her steps but did not turn around.
"This servant, when and where did he attack Zhou Mu?" Shi Wujue still voiced the doubt in his heart.
Upon hearing Shi Wujue’s question, Zhou Mu also turned his head, looking towards Gu Changsheng’s fading figure, his eyes were as deep as a cold pool...
"When and where? With his skills, unless there was an opportunity, he wouldn’t even have a chance to attack in front of Zhou Mu, right? As for the place, the location you chose to fight was indeed good, very spacious, and the scenery there was particularly nice..."
Hearing Shi Wujue’s question, Gu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then spoke energetically. At the end, she turned back, giving Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue a meaningful glance, and then turned to leave without any reluctance...
Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue, hearing her words, were immediately stunned!
The place they chose to fight?
They fought...
Did she hear everything they said?
For a moment, these two paragons were left clueless, like children caught by adults after doing something wrong, awkward and uneasy...
"You two! What can I say about you? See, you’re annoyed now, aren’t you?"
The Medicine Immortal Old Man, holding his wine gourd, walked out from the main hall. Looking at the two dazed individuals, he shook his head, spoke sympathetically with his aged face, and then, swaying his body, he sang as he pursued in the direction Gu Changsheng left...
"What is love in this world, it makes life and death worth it... Joyful gatherings, bitter separations, among them more foolish lovers... Foolish lovers... This love can only be recalled, but at the time it was already in vain..."
These were words his rebellious disciple had said, not remembered clearly by him, spoken to the two foolish youths as a warning...
Alas!
Sighing in his heart, the Medicine Immortal Old Man shook his head and slowly departed...
The affairs between these young lovers, these two towering men understand them less clearly than his rebellious disciple, nor as transparently as she does, it’s truly...
Hearing the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s distant voice, Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue’s bodies stiffened again, a flash of shock passed through their eyes...
This love can be waited for...
This love can be waited for!
These four words, not long ago, had been spoken by Zhou Mu!
However, at this moment, coming from the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s mouth, it turned into...
This love can be recalled!
"This love can be recalled... even if it’s a memory, it’s good..." Shi Wujue repeated absentmindedly, then turned around, not even glancing at Duo Shu on the ground, his expression dimmed as he left...
"Shi Wujue..." Zhou Mu, seeing this, couldn’t help but call out, but after speaking, he didn’t know what else to say...
Watching Duo Shu get up from the ground and stumble as he followed Shi Wujue’s departing figure, Zhou Mu’s divine-like face changed unpredictably...
The words of the Medicine Immortal Old Man, were they intentional or coincidental?
If intentional, was it Changsheng’s intention or his own?
Zhou Mu didn’t know!
However, Zhou Mu was quite certain that she must have heard their conversation after the fight with Shi Wujue!
"Son-in-law, this?" Diao Chan looked around, her rugged face confused; what on earth was this about? She couldn’t quite see it clearly!
"It’s nothing, just carry on as usual!" Zhou Mu waved his hand and sighed, "The one with something to worry about is probably this king..."
