C208: Poison, I didn’t do it.
Seeing Yanzhi run out in a fluster, Gu Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She sat back down by the bedside, looking at the dizzy Huo Qiyun, praying in her heart that the Heir Apparent would come back soon, otherwise, with Lady Cheng and Zhao Changxing guarding her day and night, how could she, a half-baked doctor, cure this hook-lipped viper venom...
But if the Heir Apparent really came back...
She was also worried that the Heir Apparent would believe Lady Cheng and Zhao Changxing’s words that she had harmed Huo Qiyun...
Under her wide sleeve, she clenched her fist tightly, her heart thumping chaotically.
...
Not long after, Yanzhi came running back, panting as she carried two large white geese.
“Mistress, I’m back!”
Yanzhi was quite clever, she had tied up the geese with ribbons so they couldn't flap their wings about.
Gu Ying didn’t care for niceties. With her bare hands she grabbed one of the big geese, drew out her Qilin Dagger from her waist, and cleanly sliced across the goose's neck.
Blood instantly sprayed over her face.
Her originally snow-white complexion and exquisite brows and eyes, with these winding bloodstains as contrast, made her look like some bewitching demon of the dark night, stunning everyone in the room.
Lady Cheng pointed at the bloodthirsty-looking Gu Ying, stammering in confusion, “What are you trying to do!”
Gu Ying completely ignored her. Time was of essence, saving a life took precedence over everything, she calmly held up the goose's neck, “Yin Lan, Yanzhi, hold Sister Yun down.”
The two servant girls answered in unison, “Yes!”
After speaking, Gu Ying promptly poured all the goose blood down Huo Qiyun's throat. Caught off guard, she struggled violently, “Mm mm mm!”
Gu Ying's eyes darkened, not letting her spit it out, only after forcing all the goose blood down did she tightly cover her mouth.
The onlooking crowd was already shocked speechless. To them, this was clearly not saving someone, it was outright murder before their very eyes!
Of course Cheng didn't dare let Huo Qiyun actually die. She cried out anxiously, “Why are you all still standing there stunned! Hurry and save her!”
Only then did people hurriedly rush over to drag Gu Ying and her two servants off.
“Gu Ying, you dare commit murder! Aren't you afraid Du would find out and have you killed!”
But amidst the chaos, as soon as those words fell.
The door of the courtyard was suddenly kicked open.
A blast of cold northern wind swirled inside, pure white snowflakes flying about everywhere.
The old maid keeping watch outside, her voice trembling as she looked upon the sinister face of the man standing at the doorway, cried out in fright, “Young Lord...the Young Lord has returned!”
Everyone in the room froze, scrambling in panic to move away from the bedside.
Covered in blood, her hair in disorder, Gu Ying now finally had the chance to look at the man who had appeared at the door...
But before she could make out his expression, with great swiftness he strode towards the bed in a few large steps. His big hands, like iron claws, grabbed her slender arm and pulled her up from the bedside.
