Chapter 276 Caught in the act, women are not to be trifled with.
"If you want to live, tell me where that medicine came from, otherwise—" Princess Qing'an paused, "find a medicine more potent than the Illusion God Grass, and I'll let you go!"
"This old servant, this old servant will go find it, I'll go find it right away!" Granny Wu cried even more miserably.
Gu Qingyue's face turned so black that ink dripped down her cheeks. This dog-like old woman was no good either!
"Fine, I'll give you two days to figure something out. If my mother or father finds out, you're as good as dead!" Princess Qing'an said threateningly before leaving.
"Princess, this way," said Granny Qi.
It seems they're about to come out.
The three of them immediately retreated.
"Hiss-------" Princess Qing'an's voice came, "Useless old hag, you can't do anything right, it hurts so much, what use are you to me!? I asked you to make a fake wound, and you said it didn't hurt, but my neck still hurts, what's going on?"
"This old servant accepts the punishment, Your Highness, please calm your anger," said Granny Qi, trembling with fear.
"Get out of my way!" Princess Qing'an shouted angrily.
Fake wounds? Gu Qingyue's eyes widened. Even the hanging was fake? Was it all a lie to deceive Princess An?
Haha, what a good daughter!
They'll stop at nothing to get a man!
After leaving Princess Qing'an's courtyard, the three of them gathered again in the tree.
"Master, should we arrest that old woman now?" Yu Mo asked.
Gu Qingyue thought for a moment, then said, "Grab it."
The longer the night lasts, the more things can go wrong. This Princess Qing'an is clearly a madwoman. What if she changes her mind after a nap and kills Granny Wu?
Fifteen minutes later, Granny Wu was unconscious and was being carried on Yue Ran's shoulder.
They staged a scene to make it look like Granny Wu had escaped on her own, and once everything was ready, they quickly left the Prince An's residence.
As for their doubts about whether Granny Wu could escape on her own, that's none of their business!
Fifteen minutes later, Gu Qingyue flew into her own courtyard.
I had just stood still in the yard when I was startled by a sound next to me!
"You're back?" A man's voice rang out; it was Gu Yuanjin.
Gu Qingyue turned her head and saw four men sitting upright at a stone table not far away. They were her four older brothers, all of them present.
Gu Qingyue lowered her head in defeat. Oh dear, she'd been caught!
"Hey, you guys are out enjoying the moonlight tonight?" Gu Qingyue asked casually.
His eyes darted around, trying to think of a solution.
"And you? Dressed like that, where have you been?" Gu Yuanchen asked.
"I can't sleep. The moon is so beautiful, let's look at it." Gu Qingyue looked up and pointed to the sky, which was pitch black with not a single star.
She awkwardly lowered her fingers.
"Oh, the moon has hidden away so quickly, how naughty!" she said, sitting down on the stone bench.
"Keep making things up," Gu Yuanen said, amused, looking at the unremarkable 'kid' in front of him. He was relieved to see that she was not injured. "Your disguise skills are quite impressive. Teach your fourth brother sometime."
"Yeah!"
As she spoke, Gu Qingyue stood up again, "Please wait a moment."
After saying that, he slipped into the room and slammed the door shut.
The four men exchanged smiles, breathed a sigh of relief, and shook their heads helplessly. This younger sister really was a handful.
Fifteen minutes later, Gu Qingyue washed off her disguise, changed her clothes, and sat down on the stone bench again.
"So, where did you go?"
This time it was Gu Yuanming who spoke up. They roughly knew where she had gone, but they still wanted to ask, since it was not a good thing for a girl to disappear in the middle of the night.
Gu Qingyue said with a smile, "Third Brother, your little sister has worked so hard for you!"
The four men looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What do you mean, for me?" Gu Yuanming didn't understand. What had this little girl done this time?
Gu Qingyue reached out and took a piece of pastry, putting it in her mouth. She was really hungry after working so hard all night.
Then, she recounted in detail her visit to Prince An's residence that evening, emphasizing in particular Princess Qing'an's ulterior motives towards Gu Yuanming.
After they finished speaking, eight pairs of eyes stared at Gu Yuanming, their gazes filled with mockery, making Gu Yuanming's scalp tingle.
"Why are you looking at me? It's none of my business," Gu Yuanming said irritably.
“It’s certainly none of your business,” Gu Yuanjin’s leisurely voice rang out, “but it is a fact that you did not handle the matter of Princess Qing’an properly back then and offended her.”
Gu Yuanming choked.
Gu Yuanchen nodded beside him, forcing a smile, "She's a madwoman. If it weren't for my little sister in Lizhou last time, you'd probably have her child by now."
"And there's Cousin Liu, Third Brother. Do you remember how many times I am blocking you in Lizhou City?" Gu Yuanen added insult to injury.
Gu Yuanming: ...I only come home once in such a long time, don't you guys even wish me well?
Gu Yuanen and Gu Qingyue sat to the side, looking at this and that, eating snacks with great interest in their eyes.
A moment later, the siblings burst into laughter.
Gu Yuanming sighed helplessly.
Gu Yuanjin patted his shoulder and said, "Remember to be careful, women are not to be trifled with." Then he sighed deeply.
After hearing this, the brothers all stared at Gu Yuanjin with astonished looks. Oh—sister-in-law! Who knew our eldest brother was afraid of his wife! Hehe!
Seeing everyone's gazes, Gu Yuanjin glared back irritably!
Are you little rascals going to rebel?
Everyone looked up at the sky and the ground, overwhelmed by their bloodline!
"Alright, there's no use talking about this now. Third Brother will be staying in the capital for two more months, so we need to be extra careful during that time," Gu Qingyue said after finishing a pastry.
"What exactly is she trying to do?" Gu Yuanen stood up irritably and paced around the courtyard.
The group exchanged glances again. "Needless to say, she'll definitely try every opportunity to drug Third Brother. She said she wants to be Third Brother's only woman," Gu Qingyue said to herself. "She might even come to the Duke's mansion to kidnap someone."
The four brothers: ...Little sister, you really dare to say that!
Gu Yuanming: ...Shameless!
He was so angry his face turned red and his neck bulged. "That shameless woman!"
"In short, whatever you do when you go out in the future, bring more people with you and be more careful, especially at banquets and the like. Pay close attention to what you put in your mouth."
Gu Yuanjin spoke earnestly, suddenly displaying a very noble and dignified image as a good older brother.
"I also need to increase your combat strength," Gu Qingyue thought of something and suddenly stood up.
"Wait a minute, don't go, I'm going to get something."
A moment later, Gu Qingyue flashed into her spatial dimension, picked and chose from the pharmacy, and finally took a bottle of antidote pills that she had made herself.
While it may not be able to cure all poisons, it can cure most poisons, or at least minimize the damage.
After leaving the room, Gu Qingyue handed the medicine to Gu Yuanming.
Then I remembered that I had just gone to the space and saw that many medicinal herbs in the ground were ripe, especially a lot of precious herbs for body tempering.
A thought suddenly struck her: why not temper her four older brothers' bodies first? Why hadn't she thought of that before?
Thinking of this, Gu Qingyue lowered her voice and said, "Brothers, come here."
She waved her hand, and Gu Yuanen quickly ran over, "I have a prescription here that can temper the body. The four of you can soak in it together tomorrow night. It will be good for you."
