C261 Xianfu Gui Ning(5)

"You are the dignified direct descendant of the Prime Minister's Estate. Why do you have to be so wronged and become a side concubine?" When Yu Bi Ling thought of this, she couldn't help but resent the fact that her secondary wife sounded good. She was also at the level conferred by the emperor, but in the end, she was still just a slightly higher ranking concubine. She was a far cry from her main wife.

It was a given that the main wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion would be his main wife, but Gu Qingxiao had been so desperate to marry Xiao Yixiu that she had confidently assumed that he would divorce her soon and help his right himself. Seeing her haggard look, she knew that things would not be good.

If he were to marry another prince and wholeheartedly support him to become the crown prince, then when he ascended the throne in the future, that side concubine would be fine. It was obvious that no one wanted to fight for the crown prince's position, and everyone even suspected that he wouldn't be able to escape if Gu Qingxiao hadn't secretly left the Prime Minister's estate. If it weren't for the fact that everyone thought that she was pregnant, she wouldn't have been able to dissuade her from agreeing to the marriage even if she tried to force her way to her death.

The more Yu Bi Ling thought about it, the more depressed she became. She too, choked with sobs.

Gu Qingli sat there calmly. Ignoring the fact that Yu Bi Ling and her daughter had a deep affection for him, Gu Qingruo and Helian Shuang intentionally ignored him. They only smiled at the farce in front of them, letting them put on a show.

Her goal was to have Yu Bi Ling and Gu Qing Ruo verify her true body before returning to the palace with Gu Qingxiao.

Everyone in the court knew that the 'miscarriage' of Gu Qingxiao had been accidentally committed by the crippled crown prince, Xiao Yibei. Everyone in the court knew that the 'miscarriage' of the crown prince, Xiao Yibei, was accidentally committed by the crippled crown prince, Xiao Yibei.

Gu Qingxiao could not say more, but the hatred in his heart grew even more. Her hand gripped the bottle tightly as a different thought arose in his heart.

The Gu in the bottle could manipulate a person's will, and was the same as the one in Apricot Bead, but the parent Gu was different. If the Gu entered into the appropriate person's body, it would turn that person into a Gu, making them unable to escape from their identity.

Although Gu Qingxiao was full of hatred, she didn't want to kill Xiao Yixiu. He wanted to plant the Gu on Gu Qingli and turn her into a Gu artifact.

When the maidservants came in to pass on the message that it was almost lunchtime, they invited the madame and the esteemed guests to go have a meal.

Helian Lie smiled as he led the way. Yu Bi Ling flattered him as she walked alongside him. The three misses naturally followed behind.

Gu Qingruo had always shared the same thoughts as Gu Qingruo. When they walked side by side, Gu Qingruo only felt that she had been taken lightly. She turned in surprise and saw Gu Qingxiao winking at her. She slowed down slightly and pretended to help Gu Qingruo up, "Third sister, your complexion isn't good. If you don't have the strength, walk slowly. I'll support you."

Gu Qingxiao made a gesture of cuddling up as she hinted at Gu Qingli, who was standing slightly in front of him.

Gu Qingruo was startled, but seeing her anxious expression and the anticipation in her eyes, she nodded her head, thinking that she had just thought of a way to embarrass or humiliate Gu Qingli, she quietly followed. Suddenly, as if she had tripped over something, she threw herself onto Gu Qingli's body and hugged her, and cried out.

Helian Peng and Yu Bi Ling were already far away, so they didn't hear anything. Gu Qing Li frowned and looked over. He saw Gu Qing Ruo tightly hugging him with a pained expression. He then asked, "What happened?"

"I can't stand up properly, I've twisted my leg." Gu Qingruo tightly hugged her, as if she was about to fall over if she were to let go. Her entire weight was all over her body.

Gu Qingli's face darkened. She wasn't used to such intimate actions, so she wanted to call her maidservants over to help Gu Qingruo, but when she lifted her eyes, the maidservant who had sent the message with her was gone.

Gu Qingli's sharp senses sensed that something was wrong. She lifted her eyes and saw that Gu Qingxiao had pulled out a small bottle's stopper, then heavily tossed it at her.

A long, red bug crawled out slowly, as if it was hesitating on where to go. Its large head sniffed something, and it moved slower and slower, lingering on Gu Qing Li's body, almost not daring to move.

Gu Qingxiao had also never seen the mother Gu before. Before she could even feel how ugly the red worm looked, the red worm trembled like it was spasming. It suddenly leaped forward, and with a bounce of its body, it landed on Gu Qingruo's body.

Gu Qingruo did not notice as she hugged Gu Qing Li, trying to make it impossible for her to struggle. Unexpectedly, the moment the red worm landed on her clothes, it immediately moved like a fish diving into the deep sea.

Gu Qingxiao was dumbstruck as she watched this scene. Before she could regain her senses, Gu Qingli had already reacted. She raised her hand to pinch the red worm.

Although Gu Qingli did not know what it was, she could guess from its appearance that it was not a good creature. The worm had a finger length, two horns on its head, a pair of wings on its back, but it could not fly, it had no feet on its belly, and on its back, there were long strings of eye-like black dots that lined up in pairs. She subconsciously wanted to grab hold of him first, but her underlings weren't strong enough. She was afraid of crushing him to death.

However, when the insect touched her hand, Gu Qing Li felt disgusted. It was so sticky that it seemed like there was a layer of powder on it. Although in her previous life she had developed a fearless personality, when faced with such a strange insect body, she could not help but feel nauseous. The skin all over her body trembled and her hands subconsciously loosened.

The red worm's reaction was even more violent than Gu Qing Li's. After breaking free from her finger, it jumped again and actually spun in a circle, showing an attack posture. Its body shot out like a bow, aiming straight at Gu Qing Li's finger.

As the black mist condensed on the tip of her finger, a dragon-shaped bug appeared without a sound. Like a bolt of lightning, it charged forward, collided with the red worm, and suddenly revealed two rows of sharp teeth that were as thin as needles, and bit down.

The red worm's body spasmed in mid-air as it fell back onto Gu Qingruo's body. Very soon, it shrunk in size.

Gu Qingruo, who had been wholeheartedly hugging Gu Qing Li, finally noticed this battle. When she came back to her senses, she realised that there was a disgusting and terrifying worm on her arm. She immediately shrieked with a shrill voice as if she had been bitten.

Gu Qing withdrew his hand, and the black dragon-shaped bug retreated back into the black mist. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace. It didn't even manage to see where it disappeared from. She stretched out her hand coldly to push Qing Ruo away, but didn't push her.

Looking back, Qing Ruo was so scared that her lips turned white. She couldn't stop shivering and didn't know how to react. She could only scream incessantly.

On the other hand, Gu Qingxiao retreated fearfully, afraid that she would be caught in the crossfire.
