Chapter 318 is just about watching fairies fight, isn't it?
Once she heard the maid's footsteps fade into the distance, Gu Qingyue sat down on the soft couch with a smile.
Looking around, there were no incense burners, candlesticks, poison, or medicine; there was nothing superfluous in sight.
But if you think that's safe, then Gu Qingyue would have died countless times already.
The screen with its agarwood and peach pattern features vibrant pink peach blossoms, the cushions are adorned with clusters of flowers, and even the lanterns at the entrance have been decorated with 'gifts'—wow! They've prepared quite a lot!
They probably knew I was skilled in medicine, so they used a rather cunning method to administer the poison.
But they still underestimated Gu Qingyue. She possessed special abilities and was much more perceptive than ordinary people!
These tricks, in the end, could not escape her eyes and nose.
I wonder what kind of gigolo they'll send to me? Gu Qingyue pondered.
Wait, what if he's not a gigolo?
Oh well, I'll just send her a handsome guy instead, that's what she likes.
Gu Qingyue leisurely took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, poured out a pill, put it in her mouth, tilted her head back, and swallowed it.
After waiting for a while, she finally heard footsteps in the distance. She lay down on the soft couch and closed her eyes.
The moment the maid pushed open the door, she released her spiritual power, and the show began.
"Miss Gu, Miss?" The maid carried a basin of water into the room and found that Gu Qingyue was already asleep on the bed.
She put down the basin of water, walked to the soft couch, and gently shook Gu Qingyue's arm.
There was no response. "Miss Gu?"
She called out three times, but Gu Qingyue did not respond. She was clearly not asleep, but unconscious.
The maid called out twice more anxiously, but there was still no response.
She had no choice but to rush out of the room and run towards the courtyard.
Once outside the courtyard and around a bend, the little girl suddenly stopped, leaned against the wall, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of her mouth.
In the courtyard, the door to the next room, which had been quiet just moments before, was opened from the inside, and a man and a woman walked out.
The woman was young and beautiful, and she wore a cloak that obscured her face.
The man was about the age of twenty, dressed in a plain white robe, holding a folding fan, looking every bit the elegant and refined gentleman.
"Go in, you're in luck. This is one of the three newly crowned most talented women in the capital, and also the hottest beauty in the city right now. What do you think? Do you like her?"
The woman's voice was sinister and devoid of any warmth.
"Thank you very much, I will remember your great kindness." After saying that, the man put the folding fan into his pocket and eagerly pushed open the door to the 'Old News' room.
Seeing the man turn around and close the door, the woman sneered and walked out of the courtyard.
Two maids and a nanny were waiting at the gate of the courtyard.
Upon seeing the woman emerge, they all bowed respectfully and left, leaving only the old nanny guarding the door.
A moment later, a sound came from the 'old news'.
The old woman glanced up, then lowered her eyes again, her face expressionless. She leaned back and disappeared into the darkness.
At the spring banquet not far away, people had already forgotten what had just happened and were engrossed in lively conversation.
"Third Sister hasn't returned yet," Gu Feiwen said to Madam Wei, putting down her chopsticks.
Madam Wei nodded, suppressing her unease, and looked again and again in the direction Gu Qingyue had left.
All of this was observed by the eldest princess, who was seated at the head table.
She put down her chopsticks, picked up her wine glass, toasted Lin Shanzhang, took two sips, exhaled a breath of stale air, and her eyebrows and eyes became lively.
On the rooftop terrace, Yue Zhiqi put down his wine glass, picked up a bite of food, and looked completely content.
Princess Lianfu picked up a piece of golden lotus seed cake and put it in her mouth. She smiled at Yue Zhiqi and then looked at the Fifth Prince next to her, her mood becoming more and more pleasant.
Downstairs at the banquet, musicians and dancers were entertaining the guests, and the spring appreciation feast was drawing to a close.
In the courtyard, in the 'Old News' room.
The sounds of a woman's soft moans and a man's heavy breathing could be heard from inside from time to time, sometimes there and sometimes not.
No one noticed that two people were also sitting on the roof of 'Old News'.
It was a man and a woman, seemingly completely blending into the night, unseen by anyone.
The man was dressed in a black brocade robe, the gold cloud patterns on the robe appearing and disappearing in the darkness. He had a slight smile on his lips as he looked down at the woman beside him.
The woman glared angrily, her face flushed red, her body stiff and motionless, as the man's arms tightly embraced her slender waist.
Gu Qingyue regretted it very much, really!
She just wanted to lift the roof tile to see the 'scenery', but she got so engrossed that she was attacked from behind—no, her pressure points were acupunctured.
In both her past and present lives, she had never been so passive.
She really wanted to bite the man in front of her to death. All she wanted was to watch the fairies fight.
what is the relationship?
In her past life, she had only seen it on screen; she had never seen a live-action version!
She moved her lips, lowered her voice, and said, "Let me go."
The man shook his head and remained motionless.
"You! You're despicable!" Gu Qingyue turned her head away from him.
Mu Yunchu laughed even more unrestrainedly.
He raised his hand and gently stroked the woman's delicate face, lifted her chin, and kissed her softly again and again, lingering there.
"You've been naughty, and this prince will punish you," Mu Yun Chu whispered in her ear.
This prince?
Gu Qingyue's body trembled involuntarily.
She always felt there was a hint of danger in the man's words.
We should run away immediately!
However, she couldn't move her body and could only sit there and glare at him.
"What? Not convinced?"
Mu Yun Chu moved closer to Gu Qing Yue and pressed his forehead against hers. "What do you want to see? This prince will grant your wish."
Gu Qingyue's eyes lit up, and then she heard the following words, "How about I act with you?"
Gu Qingyue immediately chickened out. She suspected that this guy was making inappropriate advances, but she had no proof.
After thinking for a moment, she immediately narrowed her phoenix eyes, turned down the corners of her mouth, and presented a pitiful expression to Mu Yun Chu, "Please let me go."
Mu Yun Chu shook her head.
The next instant, Gu Qingyue felt her body relax as the acupoints were released.
Before she could even feel happy, she felt herself lifted into the air, picked up around the waist, and swept into the darkness.
Gu Qingyue: Why do I feel so panicked and scared? I'm surprisingly timid tonight!
Almost instantly, Gu Qingyue was placed on the bed in his room, her belt roughly ripped off by a large hand and fluttering down...
The Spring Appreciation Banquet is the highest-level annual spring outing and talent show banquet, which also selects the top ten talented women and men in the capital, and is also a matchmaking banquet that makes young men and women's hearts flutter.
Naturally, the majority of those who came were unmarried women around the time of their coming-of-age ceremony and unmarried men around the time of their coming-of-age ceremony.
With so many young people, there are bound to be many disputes.
It's only natural that some things, both expected and unexpected, always happen at the annual spring appreciation banquet.
Sure enough, some low noises came from the guest rooms not far from the Spring Appreciation Banquet. The men and women standing in the courtyard could naturally tell what was happening in the room.
At the entrance of 'Old News', an old nanny reached out her hand, wanting to push the door open but not daring to. She turned around and looked at Princess Pei and the Eldest Princess behind her, asking with her eyes.
Princess Pei's young face flushed with anger. She turned around and hurriedly left, taking two maids with her, without looking back.
