Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 705
The word love, to a woman, is really a curse.

As proud as Gu Yuci, he would be so stupid.

She was secretly feeling that the nun had finished painting, and after putting down the brush, she tightened the hemp rope.

Gu Yuci's body was as straight as a sharp sword, he was suddenly hoisted high into the air and plunged into the water.

Because the speed was too fast and too ruthless, water splashed and splashed, covering several people nearby.

The snakes in the pool seemed to be stimulated, "cracking" as if thousands of arrows were fired, and in the blink of an eye, they quickly gathered into a ball.

When her toes plunged into the water, the black and icy snake had already crawled up her ankles.

Immediately, the crowd erupted into another burst of screams: "Ah!! Help!"

Zhao Xiwei took a quick step forward.

But Liu Feifei protected her with one hand: "Ah Wei, don't be impulsive! Think about your body!"

"I know..." Zhao Xiwei paused, forcibly suppressing the urge to get closer to the pool.

She is not alone, there is another one in her stomach...

Entering the palace this time has already put her body at risk, she can't think about herself at all...

Zhao Xiwei stood not far away, looking at Gu Yuci in the pool.

One, two, three... More and more snakes climbed onto her body.

The closest one to her was a little concubine, her face twisted and incoherent in fright: "No! No! Empress Dowager, please spare me! Crown Princess, help me!"

And Gu Yuci kept his eyes tightly closed from the beginning to the end, without saying a word, neither expression nor language, let alone the slightest emotion.

"How? Have you thought it through?" The queen mother changed into a comfortable posture, admiring everything in front of her leisurely, as if she was admiring the great country: "The Ai family loves you very much, and I don't want to let you suffer this kind of punishment, so I will give you a lot of money." Let me tell you something—the Gu family holds the arsenal in their hands, and Gu Yuci would rather die than hand it over, so the Ai family has no choice but to fulfill her. I just don’t know, if she dies like this, the crown prince will chase her down portion?"

For some reason, Zhao Xiwei suddenly wanted to plead for Gu Yuci's favor - there are many ways to torture people, and mental humiliation is the easiest to break down.

"Empress Dowager." He just opened his mouth, and suddenly a mouthful of sour water rushed down his throat.

Zhao Xiwei hurriedly covered his mouth.

The Queen Mother saw it in her eyes, and her eyes froze slightly, staying in her abdomen for a moment.

Zhao Xiwei noticed this detail and immediately became alert.

The queen mother is cruel and scheming, so she must not reveal the fact that she is pregnant at this time.

Sure enough, the queen mother had doubts: "When did you have it?"

"The empress dowager is really good at joking." Zhao Xi pursed his lips and smiled, with no abnormality in his expression: "As early as a few months ago, I was thrown into the cold palace by your highness, which is well known in the East palace. Why, the Empress Dowager doesn’t know anything about it.”

"That's true." The Queen Mother nodded with a smile, but her eyes still kept on her, lingering on her face inch by inch, as if looking for evidence that she was lying.

"It's no wonder the Empress Dowager thought too much. His Highness was also so suspicious at the beginning. Seeing that I was vomiting unbearably, he called the imperial doctor to see me for several days." She smiled just right, "I can only say that I don't have such a blessing. If she is really pregnant, maybe she won't reach this point."

"You're not too stupid." The queen mother finally let her go, and turned her focus back to the negotiation: "While Ai's family is in a good mood, I'll talk nonsense to you again. Did you give me this jade order yourself, or did I never give it to you?" Take it from you?"

Military power must not be given.

Although the crown prince gains power, it is very likely that he will liquidate the Zhao family.

But if the Empress Dowager came to power, it would be [-]% for the Zhao family to die.

But if you don't give it, how to deal with this tricky snake pool is a problem...

"What is the empress dowager anxious about?" Zhao Xi smiled innocently, quietly watching the movements of the hidden guard, while pinching his fingers and counting the time.

Soon, soon.

There are so many warriors in front of the temple, in order to avoid startling the enemy, they had to be silent and deal with it from the outermost side first.

As long as half of it is solved, it will be too late for them to react to the rest.

When there was a commotion outside, Yuan Ce quickly jumped out and grabbed the Queen Mother with a thunderbolt.

And when she came, she brought the medicine prepared by Liu Jishan.

After the queen mother and the warriors are dealt with, sprinkle the powder into the pool, and the snakes will die immediately.

"I'm not in a hurry, but your aunt is in a hurry—" The Queen Mother chuckled, and turned to look at the pool, "Concubine Shu fainted to death several times."

Concubine Shu was already awake at this time, but she didn't have much strength to struggle, she just looked at Zhao Xiwei sadly and helplessly: "Sister Wei, princess, princess, my two children are in the underground palace..."

"Your Majesty?" Zhao Xiwei was stunned.

No wonder she didn't find the princesses in the pool, she thought the Queen Mother was out of patience and let the princesses go.

Unexpectedly, it has other intentions!
"Sister Wei, don't hand over the jade order..." Concubine Shu suffered no less pain than Gu Yuci, resisting the discomfort of being climbed up by the snake, she said weakly: "You have to remember, go to the underground palace to rescue Princess……"

"Which underground palace?" Zhao Xiwei wanted to ask again, but suddenly the crowd screamed again.

Before Zhao Xiwei could react, the pool was already stained with blood.

"no, do not want!"

Someone broke down and said, "Snake! That snake! That snake got into her body!"

It was Gu Yuci.

Zhao Xi made a slight jerk, as if his heart was pinched by something, and he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

Gu Yuci gritted his teeth tightly, but didn't make a sound.

But even if she didn't make a sound, others could feel the heart-piercing pain.

The blood oozes from the thigh, rolls down drop by drop, then stays on the toes for a moment, and falls straight to the water surface, "click" again and again, blooming bright and dazzling blood flowers one after another.

The crowd fell silent.

Concubine Shu smiled wryly, then turned away embarrassingly.

The nurse and servant in charge of the execution felt a little terrified.

Liu Feifei clenched her fists: "It's too cruel to treat a woman like this..."

"What kind of viciousness is this?" The queen mother laughed, and her expression was very happy: "It's just breaking the body, so what's the matter? What a fuss!"

"You..." Liu Feifei was so angry that she almost exploded, "You, you, you are also a woman, why do you humiliate others like this?"

The other concubines hadn't recovered their souls yet, they just stared blankly at Gu Yuci, and murmured, "Yeah, why are you doing this..."

"Why?" The Empress Dowager sneered, "She only planned to marry into the Eastern Palace, but the one in the Eastern Palace never took a second look. What's the use of keeping the jade?"

She raised her palm and admired her broken armor, "For some things, it's not necessarily a good thing to be complete, and it's not necessarily a bad thing to be incomplete, Miss Gu, what do you think?"

Gu Yuci's face was covered with cold sweat, but he didn't see any embarrassment or submission when he met the Queen Mother's gaze.
