Qian Tingxuan took her wine glass, wanting her true answer.“Qian Tingxuan, I’ve already vowed to live and die with you. You don’t believe me Is it because of that incident Don't forget, we planned it...Xiao Yu Ge understood medicine, so naturally she didn't believe in methods like using heart blood as a medicinal ingredient. However, when she saw that the bowl before her held water just like the other bowls, with nothing added, she couldn't help but frown: What on earth was this State Oracle trying to do Could it be that her mother had truly been possessed That was too absurd!
Although skeptical, Xiao Yuge still obeyed and pricked her finger, dropping the blood into the bowl of water before them. Everyone held their breath in anticipation, crowding closer to stare intently at the water. After all, Xiao Yuge was found as an orphan, and no one knew the day or hour she was born. Only the National Master stood calmly by the side, seemingly expecting everything that unfolded.
Xiao Yu's song was just a symbolic glance, because from the Grand Tutor's eyes, she had guessed everything. This old Daoist set up such a trap, wasn't it aimed at her
The old Daoist She narrowed her beautiful eyes, and just as she did, the Imperial Advisor also looked at her. With just one glance, Xiao Yu Ge confirmed what she had thought: it was him!
"It's changed! The color is brighter!"
Just then, Xiao Yufu suddenly cried out in alarm.
Only then did they notice that Xiao Yuge's blood, after being mixed into the bowl of water, was gradually becoming transparent and crystal clear, resembling a blood jade. It was completely different from the other dark and murky liquids.
Without a doubt, Xiao Yuge was the once-in-a-hundred-years Yin woman born on an inauspicious day, month, year, and time that they spoke of!
Chu Tianqi looked at her with complex eyes. He hoped she wasn't, but he didn't want his mother to be harmed either. Now that she was, it meant she would have to give up her heart and blood for her mother. Perhaps no one understood the pain of giving up one's heart and blood better than him. He didn't want Ge'er to suffer that kind of pain.
"Sister, please save mother! As long as you save her, no matter what you want, I can give it to you. Even the status of the head daughter of the Xiangfu, I can give it to you! I only hate that my own blood cannot save mother. If I could, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment!" At this time, Xiao Yufu began her performance again. Her tearful appearance made everyone unable to help but look sideways, and they secretly praised her as a filial daughter.
If at this time, Xiao Yuge once said that she was unwilling, she would definitely be labeled as an unfilial daughter. The current emperor is the most filial, so once Xiao Yuge was rumored to be unfilial, it would be even more difficult for her to enter the imperial palace.
Xiao Yuge lightly glanced at Xiao Yufu, a slight lift to the corner of her lips: "Sister, does everything I say get your agreement"
"Yes! As long as you save my mother, I promise you anything!" Xiao Yufu gritted her silver teeth, though she was fuming with hatred in her heart. However, at this moment, she still had to pretend to be magnanimous.
Xiao Yuge sang secretly, but she still continued in a serious tone: "Good, I want you to request the Emperor to let me marry into the Chi Yan Nation!" Although the Emperor had rejected He Zhichi's proposal for a marriage alliance, He Zhichi was currently facing both internal and external troubles, and had no time to worry about such matters. However, the rumors about her marrying into the Chi Yan Nation had already spread throughout the capital, and she wanted to see how long Xiao Yufu could pretend to be filial.
“What…what did you say” Xiao Yufu probably couldn’t have imagined even in her dreams that Xiao Yuge would make such a request. Even Xiao Zhan beside her was taken aback. She never expected Ge'er to make such a request. This is Xiao Yufu smashing her own feet with a rock.
In fact, even without her urging, Xiao Yuge would have agreed. After all, she had always believed that she owed the Xiao family a debt of gratitude for raising her. She would gladly give up her life to repay them, let alone just a drop of blood from her heart.
"What Didn't elder sister just say she would do anything Why the change of heart now" Xiao Yuge raised an eyebrow: she wanted to see how far Xiao Yufu's charade would go.
“I, I......” Xiao Yufu was truly flustered. She had agreed right there in front of so many people! If she went back on her word later, wouldn't she be questioned by everyone But if she didn't agree now, wouldn't that confirm the accusation of her being unfilial
Now she was between a rock and a hard place, so she gritted her teeth and agreed: "Fine! As long as you save my mother, I'll agree to anything!"
“Good!” Xiao Yuge nodded with satisfaction and said loudly, “Father, State Teacher, everyone has heard clearly, it was the eldest sister who agreed herself. In fact, even if the elder sister didn’t agree, I would still save Mother. I said so before, no matter who I am, where I come from, I will always be Father and Mother’s daughter. Even if I have to use my life to exchange for Mother’s, I am willing!”
Until this moment, Xiao Yufu seemed to finally understand that she had been tricked by Xiao Yu Ge. And having said it out loud, what should she do now Could it be that she really had to replace Xiao Yu Ge and marry into the Chi Yan Nation
"It's just a little blood from my heart. As long as I can save my mother, it wouldn't be just blood, even if I gave my life to exchange for hers, it would be worth it!" As soon as the words left his mouth, Xiao Yusheng's cold light flashed in his eyes. In the next second, with a sound of "chi!", the lockbone knife had already plunged into her chest!
The clavicle blade was indeed the sharpest knife in the world. This strike went straight through skin and flesh, reaching her heart in an instant. Though it was incredibly fast, the pain that came suddenly still made Xiao Yuge's heart seize!
This is what heartbreak feels like It's truly agonizing! More painful than any pain she's ever felt before!
"Sing!"
Xiao Zhan and Chu Tianqi nearly cried out at the same time, even the maids beside them instinctively turned their backs. It was too frightening! Even Xiao Yufu couldn't help but close her eyes in fright.
The Grandmaster hadn't expected Xiao Yuge to, without even batting an eyelid, directly plunge the blade into her heart. This courage, this audacity, left him ashamed. Seeing the weapon itself, he was even more shocked: it was a collarbone blade!
Xiao Yu Ge took a deep breath and suddenly pulled out the scapula knife, piercing blood gushing out with her movement, instantly staining her plain clothes red!
"Ge'er!" Chu Tianqi caught Xiao Yuge as she fell, holding her in his arms.
"Hurry up and catch the things!" Xiao Yuge gritted her teeth, enduring the pain. Were these people blind Didn't they see her bleeding Was all this effort really necessary
"Enough, enough!" Looking at the half bowl of blood in front of him, Chu Tianqi also noticed that Ge'er's face was becoming increasingly pale. He panicked and hurriedly reached out to block several vital points on Ge'er's chest, temporarily stopping the bleeding.
"Doctor! Doctor!" He rushed out, holding the dying Ge'er in his arms!
The Lord has arrived!
Suddenly, a report came from the door!
And when everyone heard this report, they were all stunned for a moment. It was common knowledge how much the prince cared about Xiao Yuge. If he saw Xiao Yuge injured so badly right now, the consequences...wrong!“Stop struggling, you won’t be harmed if you drink the wine alone, or eat those dishes alone. But mix them together, then it’s troublesome. Now that you’ve inhaled my medicine powder, it becomes...
