Chapter 13 Showdown
He slowly opened his eyes and his blurred vision gradually became clear. Gu Yue found that he was in a room full of stones, with no windows and only illuminated by the four corners and candlelight on the table.
His hands were tied to the cross behind him by chains, and his unconscious legs were placed flat on a wooden board. What was even more outrageous was that at this moment, he was wearing nothing but a pair of shorts.
"Two ladies, Mr. Gu is awake." Xiaomei's voice sounded not far away, but he couldn't turn around and could not confirm the location.
Not long after, Tang Jihuang and Tang Yuxing walked into the stone chamber and sat opposite Gu Yue.
"Young Master Gu is sleeping well?" Tang Jihuang looked at Gu Yue with a smile, as if she was looking at an interesting toy.
"It's okay, this place is not cold. I have to thank the two girls for leaving me a pair of shorts."
Gu Yue looked indifferent, but the second girl looked at her.
"Do you know where you are wrong?" Tang Jihuang looked expectant and enjoyed her current state very much.
"Wrong? Actually, it's not me who is wrong, but you, Miss Tang's second wife."
"Oh? Is that right? Then tell me, where am I wrong?"
"I have to say that Miss Second, your acting skills are indeed extraordinary. I originally wanted to test my mouth, but I was unconsciously led by you, and it was still a little too tender. However, I have said before that even if I was retaliated, my condition would not be worse. As long as Miss Third, she was still betting on my future, at least she had to keep these hands for me. I guess she would not have a better way to control me, otherwise she would not have come to this place that looks like a dungeon or a torture room."
"You are too scheming. Since you can't master it, why should I continue to bet?" Tang Yuxing said simply, as if he was verbing Gu Yue's ending.
"Are you scheming? Tsk tsk, it's really ridiculous to say this from your mouth. Let me think about it. Since you two of you appeared together, it means that Miss Second is actually fake. So, Miss Second is aware of the incident that year?" Gu Yue felt that she had almost grasped the key point and had a chance to take a gamble.
"You are not stupid, but it's not too late to know this now?" Tang Jihuang affirmed Gu Yue's answer, but she didn't care at all. The person in front of her revealed the secret of the Tang Mansion in just a few days. Naturally, he was not an easy person, but at this time his life and death were all in his own control. He was a disabled person without any strength. Even if his talent for refining medicine is high, how could he save him at this moment?
"Is it too late? Actually, it's okay. After all, Miss Second hasn't figured out what Miss Third has given you, right?" Gu Yue smiled slightly, without any fear, and the sharp eyes seemed to penetrate the hearts of her children.
"You little beggar who has just arrived for two days, don't you feel that you are too convincing when you say such heart-wrenching words to protect yourself?" Tang Yuxing's tone was still as plain as water, as if Gu Yue's words did not stimulate her.
"If you want to be persuasive, it's fine. Then I'll restore the story of that year to you. You might as well listen to it, but there are any mistakes." Gu Yue was still calm and calm, with the affirmation in her tone beyond words, as if she had really seen her in person.
"At that time, the second lady was extremely charming and was the daughter of the Tang Mansion. She was attracted by His Majesty and wanted to promise the prince. Perhaps it was a good thing in everyone's eyes. But now it seems that the second lady was not willing to do so, so she found her sister to conspire and staged a scene of being poisoned. Then she showed as much difficulty in healing as possible and even affected her mind. Over time, she could not only miss the selection of the princess, but also naturally avoided His Majesty's punishment. I have to say that the two sisters cooperated perfectly. Now I think about it, I admire it very much."
"You are indeed very capable of completing the incomplete story Xiaohui said, but this can only make us more afraid of your scheming, and the current situation will only be even worse." Tang Yuxing's threat still arrived as scheduled, and Gu Yue felt more and more that he had really found the right direction.
"Miss Three seems to think that the plan of that year is perfect? But Xiaohui still has a hand, just like the blame back then, right?"
This is the key point that Gu Yue wants to bet.
According to his analysis, the key point of the difference between the red and blue light balls in Xiaohui's memory is whether Tang Yuxing appears. Whether it is meeting or being assigned to remove the medicine bottle, these are all blue and are not glorious. However, it is also a crime. Putting the medicine bottle into the maid's secret square this time is red. So most of them are not the instructing of Tang Yuxing.
Since it has nothing to do with Tang Yuxing's order, the motive for this time was mostly something Xiaohui was looking forward to doing more. As for the result, it was not only a criminal for the loss of the bag, but also a maid was left undisputed because she was not instructed by anyone, so Tang Yuxing didn't mind this result. But in fact, this result was more like Xiaohui's revenge, otherwise the maid would not have thought of the maid's viciousness towards him before and after the crime.
With this judgment, Gu Yue had the opportunity to take a gamble, because Tang Yuxing did not fully grasp the factors that happened that year, Xiaohui moved his mind. Although this result did not affect Tang Yuxing's plan, although Xiaohui was very loyal to Tang Yuxing, and the two might even have an extraordinary relationship, these still cannot erase the fact that Xiaohui himself moved his mind. With this time, there may not be a second time, which made Tang Yuxing always have a nail of doubt in his heart.
"What can this medicine bottle I gave you besides proving the process of that year?" Tang Yuxing was still calm and took out the medicine bottle hidden by Gu Yue, as if telling Gu Yue that he still had the right to speak in his hands.
But she ignored one thing, that is, the sentence she said at this moment, and had already acknowledged that Xiaohui had hidden medicine bottles in private. This is what Gu Yue wanted to see the most, because only by taking advantage of Tang Yuxing's suspicion and letting her follow Xiaohui's private message to consider it, she would admit that the medicine bottle that originally appeared out of thin air was the bottle back then.
"It means what this bottle of medicine is. Can't it be? Miss Second must want to know, right?"
This sentence made the stone chamber feel extremely quiet for a moment. Tang Yuxing forgot to withdraw his hand holding the medicine bottle, while Tang Jihuang stared at the medicine bottle and his eyes were straightened.
"So what is this medicine? As a new genius of medicine refining, my interest in the abundance of medicine can't be described in words. So, after getting this bottle of medicine, I immediately tasted it. Well, the taste is average, but the effect of the medicine is very similar to the soup that Miss Third feeds me. Although I don't know what Miss Third did, I can still confirm that this medicine can plant cold poison, and cold poison with the same origin as Miss Third's body. Don't rush to refute my judgment.
Two days ago, when Old Man Chen spared no effort to attack me with his mental power, the cold poison in my body broke out, and it was different from the previous symptoms. Coincidentally, Miss Third seemed to have an attack at the same time. I guess I was eager to know if I was of value to use it. So, Miss Third, who has always been as calm as water, was rarely excited. So, I wonder if Miss Second, did you happen to feel the chill that came from the inside out and from the bones hurt your whole body?”
Gu Yue's confident face was unexpected, Tang Yuxing unexpectedly. She never expected that in just two days, the little beggar she picked up could figure out how far...
"San Sister, what he said is true?" Tang Jihuang's tone was trembling with excitement. Gu Yue knew that as of now, the whole situation was a right bet.
Tang Yuxing had no conversation. She continued to stare at Gu Yue and then look at him. There was no trace of the little beggar in front of her.
"Why? Why?!" Tang Jihuang lost control of her emotions. She hugged Tang Yuxing's shoulders and kept exerting force. "I am your real sister. You treated me like this? From childhood to adulthood, where did I offend you and make you hold such a grudge?!"
"I suddenly remembered something. According to Miss Tang San, this cold poison comes from a heavenly ice master. If she reaches the heavenly level, she will have a high chance of healing herself. I wonder if Miss Tang Er, you are also gifted and have the force of the glorious inheritance of the Tang family?" Gu Yue found the right opportunity and ignited the last lead, and the fireworks in the sky were about to be staged.
"Shut up!" Tang Yuxing finally couldn't calm down his mood at this moment. What came with excitement was naturally the chill that emanated from the bone marrow.
As expected, Gu Yue ignored the stimulation of her body and looked proud and full of ambition.
But Tang Jihuang did not have much experience of being attacked by cold poison. At this moment, perhaps it was because she was too close to Tang Yuxing, or it might be because Tang Yuxing's emotions were too violent, causing Tang Jihuang to feel like she was in an ice cellar and her whole body was wet. The coldness penetrated into the veins, blood vessels, and even every hair in her body from the bone marrow. She couldn't help but curl up into a ball and collapse to the ground.
"I'll kill you!" Tang Yuxing endured the pain and pointed his sword straight into Gu Yue's face.
"Why..." A sound of weak sounded again.
Gu Yue was still proud and did not panic at all. Not only did she ignore Tang Yuxing's threat, but she also showed no sign of a cold poison outbreak.
Perhaps it was because of the system's cooling treatment many times, or the increase in toxin resistance made Gu Yue immune, but Tang Yuxing saw these things even more frightened.
"Are you okay?!" Tang Yuxing seemed to be trying to calm down, but she still couldn't control the calmness of her tone.
"How come it's okay? But when it's cold, I'll get used to it."
"Say! What method did you use? Save her, or I will really kill you!"
"This is strange. She is obviously thanking you now, so why are she here to ask me to save me again? You sisters are really interesting."
Gu Yue's proud look made Tang Yuxing even more difficult to suppress her anger, but she couldn't bear to see her sister continue to curl up under her feet and have no desire to live.
"Can the two elixirs in your room work? Tell me quickly!" Tang Yuxing took out the two elixirs he found in Gu Yue's room. It was these two elixirs that made her even more reluctant to slash Gu Yue with one sword.
"Hey, don't do it randomly. The bigger one I made according to the book, it should be a bleeding-stop pill. The other one is probably a poison. I don't know what it does. Don't really give it to her. If there is something, I'll become an accomplice."
"Hyperstatic pill? Is the function similar to that of Hemostatic Pill? You have never seen such pills on the market. Are you still cheating at this moment?"
"I have a true conscience this time. Believe it or not, but if there is a real thing, I will never be a scapegoat."
Tang Yuxing was half-believing and half-doubted, but the more impatient she was, the more helpless she was. But she just couldn't calm down at the moment. It was very likely that the three cold poisons that broke out at the same time had an effect beyond their control, and she needed to use all her strength to make her patience.
"Wait, think it through, it's really not a joke. Taking medicine randomly will kill people!" Seeing Tang Yuxing act to feed the bleeding-stop pill to Tang Jihuang, Gu Yue could not calm down. The best result was that there was no impact. But if it was true as Tang Yuxing said, there was no bleeding-stop pill in this world, what would happen would be uncontrollable.
"Shut up! It's so noisy!" Tang Yuxing pulled Tang Jihuang and fed the hemostatic pill, then held her back with one hand, as if introducing true qi to speed up pharmacological guidance.
But her own cold poison needs to be suppressed. In just a moment, her forehead was covered with sweat, and the cold air emitting around her was even more than before. In order to prevent Tang Jihuang from being attacked again, she quickly stopped her hands. The next second, she made a move that made Gu Yue stunned, that was to throw Tang Jihuang directly on Gu Yue...
