Chapter 130 Bright Blade
Chapter 130 Bright Blade
After Chu Zhen left, Chu Ci smashed the teacup in his hand directly onto a big tree not far away, leaving a mark on the tree.
"Chu Sheng is courting death. I hadn't planned on finishing him off so quickly, but he insisted on charging towards my thirty-meter-long sword, so I had no choice but to draw my blade."
At night, everyone fell into a deep sleep. Chu Ci, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes. She looked outside and realized that it was almost time.
Chu Ci simply changed into some clothes and called out softly to the window outside, "Qiuyue, Qiuyue, are you there?"
As soon as Chu Ci's voice fell, Qiuyue's voice rang out from outside the window, "Master, I'm here."
"Get ready, we're going out for a bit. Remember, don't make any noise, be quiet."
Chu Ci habitually put on the Buddhist beads on the bedside table and started walking out.
The two of them went straight to the main courtyard. Under the moonlight, Chu Ci could barely see the scene in the main courtyard at that time.
Although it wasn't as desolate as her previous yard, it wasn't much better.
Chu Ci smacked her lips. They say things change over time, and now she can be considered a liberated serf and sing her praises.
When the two arrived at the door of Li's bedroom, they saw Zhilan sleeping on the floor.
Qiuyue glanced at Chuci, wanting to ask whether she should go forward and give Zhilan to Qiaoyun. The reason they came in the middle of the night was that they didn't want to be discovered, and it would be best not to let the little maid know.
Qiu Yueliang drew his knife and was about to chop Zhilan down, knocking her unconscious.
Chu Ci hurriedly stopped Chu Sheng, "Wait a minute, wake her up, I need her for something later."
Qiuyue retracted her hand and kicked Zhilan twice, and Zhilan was woken up in a daze.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and stood up. Chu Sheng asked, "Master, do you want to go to the toilet?"
Chu Ci looked at her dazed state and said, "I am not your master."
Zhilan woke up almost at the same time. She looked at the person opposite her in shock. When she saw that it was Chu Ci, she was relieved, but she remained vigilant. "Miss, what's the matter with you coming to see Madam in the middle of the night?"
Chu Ci glanced at the bedroom door and said, "Let's go in and talk. I have something to talk to your master about."
Qiuyue went forward and pushed the door open, waking up Li who was sleeping inside. She thought it was Zhilan, so she closed her eyes and started cursing. She didn't look like she was lying on the bed and had just been poisoned.
Chu Ci stood in front of Li and looked at her with disdain. "It seems that the court doctor's medical skills are really good. Mother can even curse loudly, with full of energy."
Li was choked by Chu Ci's words and was speechless. She glanced out the window and realized it was already midnight. "What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Chu Ci, are you trying to harm me? You unfilial daughter, coldly murdering your own mother."
Chu Ci looked at her speechlessly. "Given your current state, are you sure you still need me to murder you? I don't have to do anything. It won't be long before you're buried."
Li's face flushed slightly at Chu Ci's words. "Chu Ci, you'd better speak to me nicely. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for cursing your own mother like this?"
Chu Ci didn't want to waste time talking to her. It was already the middle of the night. Wouldn't it be better to go to bed now?
Chu Ci took out a medicine bottle from his arms and placed it directly on the table. "A few days ago, when I went to Huichuntang to get medicine, I saw a woman who also had pain all over her body. It was difficult to treat. She said she drank chicken soup."
"I described your symptoms today and thought your illnesses were similar, so I asked for medicine for you. By the way, that lady has been cured now."
"This is the medicine."
Chu Ci glanced at the medicine bottle and turned to leave.
Li looked at the medicine bottle on the table and didn't dare to take it. After all, only she knew how she had treated Chu Ci over the years.
"You really don't want to hurt me?"
"If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have come to give you the medicine. It's up to you whether you take it or not."
After Chu Ci finished speaking, he took Qiuyue and walked towards the door.
"Wait a minute, do you know who poisoned her?" Li looked at Chu Ci anxiously, hoping that Chu Ci could give her an answer. During this period of time, she was afraid to eat and sleep, and she became very thin.
Chu Ci stopped and turned to look at her, "Guess."
Li counted all her enemies and said, "The one who misses me the most right now should be my sister-in-law, right?"
Chu Ci shook his head, "No!"
Li continued to guess that if he was poisoned, he would have to be close to her and have a grudge against her, "Is it the master?"
Chu Ci still shook his head, "No."
Li was confused. Finally, she suddenly looked up and put the porcelain bottle back. "It's you, you and your useless brother."
Chu Ci was furious after hearing the last few words. She wanted to slap her twice, but she finally held back. "If it were me, I wouldn't waste my time and risk my life to bring you this medicine."
Li was not stupid either. After thinking about it, she felt that what Chu Ci said was right.
"Who is that? I've guessed it all. No, it's Aunt Li and that little bastard she gave birth to. They're the only ones left, right?"
Chu Ci still shook his head. "In this world, the most unlikely things are often the real answers. You can guess again."
Li thought about it but couldn't figure out who it was. After all, she had already mentioned everyone.
"Have you forgotten anyone?"
Mrs. Li counted all the people and finally came to a conclusion, "You mean Sheng'er? Impossible. He is my most beloved child. How could he be so vicious as to want to harm his own biological mother?"
Li waved her hand and told Chu Ci not to talk nonsense.
Chu Ci called Zhilan over and said, "Come here."
Zhilan came over, and Chu Ci took her pulse. It was just as she thought. "Zhilan was also poisoned. If I'm not mistaken, Zhilan should have drunk chicken soup as well. But she's in good health and young, so she drank less, so the poison hasn't erupted yet."
Li's face darkened instantly. She knew that Zhilan had really drunk her chicken soup. She saw it with her own eyes.
"You may not know this yet, but the old woman I was talking about is the mother of Chu Sheng's servant. According to insiders, the servant would bring chicken soup to his mother every day. His neighbors all know about this."
"It just so happens that all three of you have been poisoned by the same poison. Do I need to elaborate further?"
Li sat slumped on the bed, unwilling to believe what was happening. "Why? Why do you treat me like this? I raised him with all my heart, and this is how you repay me?"
