But the expected feeling of the knife point penetrating into the flesh did not come, instead his wrist tightened.

Shen Qingci, who had no strength to resist, suddenly grabbed his wrist.

With so much strength, even Gu Qiuli was caught off guard for a moment.

And the shoulder that was held by him suddenly fell short, and before his hand could grab it, Shen Qingci slapped his heart with his backhand.

The accident happened in an instant.

No matter how quick Gu Qiuli reacted, he couldn't avoid the palm because of the short distance.

And he could have avoided some body and reduced the damage caused by this palm, but he still wanted to take the hand of Shen Qingci who was still holding his wrist, and continue to stab the dagger forward.

The kind of ruthlessness that would give Shen Qingci a fatal blow even if he tore off a piece of his own flesh and blood made Shen Qingci feel embarrassed.

She was trapped in the soft couch, with no way to retreat.

And she hadn't planned to quit.

The moment Gu Qiuli's dagger was about to pierce her chest, the hidden weapon hidden in her sleeve finally adjusted its position and shot straight at his heart.

"hiss……"

While Gu Qiuli was in pain, Shen Qingci's grip on his wrist suddenly increased, and he took advantage of his trance to deflect his wrist.

At the same time, Shen Qingci tapped his toes, a carp stood up straight, and immediately distanced himself from Gu Qiuli.

"Are you all right?"

Gu Qiuli's wrist, which was gripped by Shen Qingci just now, was aching, there was no need to look, Shen Qingci would not have anything good to greet him.

He clutched his chest that was hurt by the hidden weapon. Although it was not critical, the pain could not be ignored.

Compared with the physical discomfort, Gu Qiuli looked at Shen Qingci, who was already calmly standing opposite him, and even his usual calm and self-sufficient eyes showed a touch of surprise and panic at this time.

Shen Qingci patted the folds on his shoulders that were pressed by Gu Qiuli just now, and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm fine, I'm going to disappoint Your Excellency."

Hearing this, Gu Qiuli subconsciously turned his head and took another look at the Boshan furnace.

Even if the light in the room is a little dim, you can still see the smog over there.

how is this possible……

This idea just came up, Gu Qiuli's mind seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer suddenly.

Followed by limbs, internal organs...

In just a short moment, he was a little unsteady on his feet.

On the other hand, Shen Qingci, who was on the opposite side, seemed to be strolling in the back garden calmly.

There is still something that Gu Qiuli didn't understand, he smiled bitterly, and said mockingly in his tone: "It's just a small trick, do you think it can trap me?"

The reason why he dared to come to Shen Qingci so boldly was not only because of his strong confidence in himself, but also because of his support outside.

Once the situation is not right, someone will protect him and retreat.

Shen Qingci folded his arms around his chest, and said indifferently, "You mean people from outside?"

"Call out and see if someone answers you?"

Gu Qiuli's expression changed.

Shen Qingci stepped up to the Boshan stove, kicked it over, and after stamping out the spices inside, said: "Before you loaded it on the carriage, and you put it in a place with this medicine, do you think I will not?" Prepare?"

"Knowing that you are watching from the dark, how can I be defenseless against you?"

Gu Qiuli gritted his teeth, and stared fiercely at Shen Qingci.

Knowing that Shen Qingci was already prepared and couldn't kill her, and the outside world might have changed, even if he was unwilling, Gu Qiuli could only grit his teeth and prepare to retreat first.

However, Shen Qingci would not give him this opportunity.

"Want to go?"

She smiled slightly: "You might as well try."

"You have been hit by my Duan Hun San, the more you use your internal strength, the faster the poison will be released, and you may be dead before you cross the threshold."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Qiuli's face became more and more terrifying.

At the same time, he couldn't even maintain his figure, and staggered and fell directly to the ground.

There were footsteps coming to Chonghua Hall like a tide from outside.

Gu Qiuli swallowed the blood gushing out of his throat, frowned and said, "Why?"

Shen Qingci rolled his eyes, "If you are allowed to poison me, are you not allowed to poison you as well?"

As she spoke, she glanced at the cup of tea that Gu Qiuli had brought up after she came in.

"You originally wanted Qiuyan to persuade me to eat these things, and then force me to tell where Wang Baoqin was hiding, and finally kill me."

"It's a pity that I wasn't fooled. In desperation, you have to do it yourself."

"You commit crimes just to force me. What is burning in this Boshan furnace is the incense of Lihun that makes people lose their internal strength and strength. This incense has such a powerful effect on me, who has glass fire beads beside me, let alone Qiuyan."

"So, I guess, the Lihun incense has been burning, and Qiuyan, who has to be stuck with me, has to take the antidote every once in a while."

"And looking at the entire palace..."

Shen Qingci looked down at the pot of tea on the table.

Ever since she woke up, she noticed that Qiuyan looked at the teapot differently.

Therefore, Shen Qingci decided to take a gamble.

Since the teapot contained antidote, after Gu Qiuli came in, he would definitely drink tea in order not to be affected by the fragrance of Lihun.

So... She added something to the teapot when Qiuyan went to see the door.

Therefore, for Gu Qiuli, this tea is not only the antidote for Lihunxiang, but also Duanhun powder that seals the throat with blood.

As for the people outside the hall, as early as when she asked Xiao Wenyan to lock Wang Baoqin up, she arranged for another manpower. Once someone went to inquire about the whereabouts of that place, there would definitely be hidden guards following that person all the way.

The matter of Xiao Wenyan was settled yesterday, but she still kept Tassel by A Niang's side, in order to create a chance for Gu Qiuli to attack her.

I never thought that this "opportunity" would come so soon after I had a dispute with A Niang today.

There is Gu Qiuli's eyeliner beside A Niang, she has always known about it.

When Miaochuan was held hostage by Gu Qiuli, when Gu Qiuli accidentally revealed that the empress was poisoned rather than seriously ill, Shen Qingci knew that there must be Gu Qiuli's eyeliner beside the empress, and her identity Not low.

Otherwise, how could he know such an important matter so clearly.

It's just that Shen Qingci didn't know who that person was.

After Qiuniang and Qiuxia, there are eight other palace maids in the Taiji Palace who serve closely.

In order not to startle the snake, Shen Qingci didn't say anything.

At that time in Liangyi Hall, when Qiuyan came to help her, she already felt that something was wrong.

She knew that the current Gu Qiuli wanted her to die, but he also wanted to know the whereabouts of Wang Baoqin.

Before killing her, Gu Qiuli had to find a way to get information from her.

So before she fell into a coma, she didn't say anything, and what she was waiting for was to play tricks, and Gu Qiuli took the bait.

Shen Qingci originally had other methods to force Gu Qiuli to show up, and the reason why she chose to use herself as bait was also out of her own selfishness.

She took two steps closer to Gu Qiuli.

"Gu Qiuli, do you still remember what I told you in Qiushui Town?" (End of this chapter)
