I RELY ON BREASTFEEDING TO STABILISE THE DISEASE (19)
19. ALMOST LOST HER LIFE
Chu Ran frowned slightly when she heard faint footsteps coming from outside. She pushed Gu Qianyu's hand away and stood up and then bowed. With a very respectful look, she said: "It's done."
Gu Qianyu looked at his palms wrapped in cyan silk. His eyes were as cold as the river in late autumn, giving people a clear view, but it was unfathomable. He said, "Don't forget who you are."
At that moment, a woman stepped over the threshold. The woman was dressed in a green dress that was as light as the spring breeze, and her head was adorned with a simple but decent headdress. Her steps were gentle and dignified as she sauntered in.
"This servant greets Zeming Wang, ten thousand blessings to Zeming Wang." The woman then continued in her soft voice, "This servant prepared some medicine..."
"No need," Gu Qianyu said coldly. "Ben Wang is a little tired. Ben Wang will head back to the residence first."
Gu Qianyu walked a few steps, then turned back, and whispered in Chu Ran's ear disdainfully: "Fifth imperial brother knows how to help you out. But if he knows that you have different intentions, he won't keep you. "
The corner of Gu Qianyu's lips curled up, revealing an inexplicable and victorious smile.
Chu Ran shuddered.
After dropping these words, Gu Qianyu left without any regards for others.
Seeing that Gu Qianyu's back had completely disappeared, the maid next to Chu Ran asked softly: "Did you already know Zeming Wang from before?"
Chu Ran shook her head and replied, "This is my first time meeting him."
"Hengnan Wang is waiting for you in the carriage outside." The maid told her.
"Oh! Thank you!"
Chu Ran walked down the long corridor in a daze with a heavy heart and walked towards Gu Xian's carriage.
When she got into the carriage and had just sat down, Gu Xian put down the book in his hand and asked abruptly, "Did Seventh imperial brother embarrass you?"
She looked up in surprise at the man sitting opposite her. There was an arm length distance between them. His moon-white robe was like a moonlight in the dim carriage, which made his face look even more distant and cold. But it also gave birth to a kind of a demonic charm.
She stared blankly, and shook her head, reassuring him.
Suddenly, ripples formed in Gu Xian's black eyes that resembled a cold pond.
Chu Ran looked at him weirdly: "You have a grudge with him?"
"Sort of."
Gu Xian threw these two cold and noble words in reply.
Also, there was no prince living in harmony in the world.
"You better stay away from him, otherwise you won't even know how you died." Seeing her seemingly thoughtful look, Gu Xian said sternly.
"I know." Chu Ran said resentfully. She also wanted to stay away from Gu Qianyu, but she was his spy.
"Then he..."
"Why, Ran Ran is very interested in him?" She was interrupted by Gu Xian when she wanted to say something.
Sensibly feeling that Gu Xian's tone had become colder, Chu Ran guessed that the grievance between the two brothers was too deep. Therefore, he was not happy to hear her say another sentence about Gu Qianyu. Thinking so, Chu Ran knew to shut her mouth immediately.
She sighed deeply and leaned back on the cushioned seat of the carriage.
Woosh-
The moment she leaned back, a feathered arrow pierced through the heavy curtain of the carriage at the position she had been in just now, and nailed it deeply into the carriage wall.
Chu Ran turned her head slowly and stared at the feathered arrow that was still trembling at the end.
Gu Xian, who was seated on the opposite side still kept sitting upright, turning a blind eye to the feathered arrow that had shot in.
"It's impossible that you didn't notice, right?"
She asked about the arrow that came shooting in. According to his vigilant nature, he would probably have noticed it from a long distance away.
Gu Xian's feather like lashes lifted slightly. He did not deny it, and nodded with certainty: "Naturally."
"Why didn't you tell me..."
She was annoyed. He knew there was danger, but he didn't even say a word. If she hadn't just leaned back, she would have been pierced by an arrow!
"Isn't Ran Ran doing just fine right now?" His eyes were quiet and deep, staring at her with an unpredictable look.
"You..!" Chu Ran was angry.
Gu Xian stretched out his hand and pulled out the arrow from the carriage wall and played with it leisurely. He didn't feel that it was a weapon that had almost killed her. He said, "Don't worry, there is no poison on the arrow. Even if you were hit by it, you won't die." He also licked his lips quite happily.
Obviously he was retaliating against her, such a petty man.
Chu Ran: "You...you..."
Chu Ran was already completely speechless with annoyance.
He was definitely her destined nemesis. As long as he was by her side at all times, her life would be in danger...
Gu Xian squeezed the feathered arrow in one hand, and looked sideways at the carriage curtain that was suddenly opened...
Chu Ran stared at the man in black who had jumped into the carriage and stared hard as the man's fingers lift the carriage curtain. The next moment, Gu Xian moved his fingers and directly sent the feathered arrow into the unwelcomed guest's heart.
Killed with one arrow.
Chu Ran's eyes almost popped out of its sockets.
She watched Gu Xian murder the man without blinking her eyes. The blood splattered from the dead man and fell on her hands, and some even on her face. The sweet rustic smell made her nauseous.
Gu Xian just ignored her as if he hadn't seen it at all. He glanced at the blood on his fingertips in disgust, then raised his head and looked outside the carriage.
When Gu Xian didn't make a sound for a long time, Chu Ran followed his line of sight, and this one look almost made her soul fly away.
The chief guard Sun Shangcheng and several guards were surrounded by a large group of black-clothed and masked men.
On the carriage side, there were more than a dozen surrounding them, staring at them. Each of the black-clothed men had bows and arrows on their backs.
"This, this is your enemy?" Chu Ran asked, subconsciously grabbing Gu Xian's sleeve.
Gu Xian looked down at her hands covered with the blood of the man in black, and joked: "Maybe you provoked someone."
"How is that possible! Where do I have a feud- " she stopped abruptly.
Her original body was a spy...
Chu Ran could not say anything more and just pressed her lips together.
