Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 160 Watching a Show

She took out the tea and snacks she had put in her space, along with a cup of milk tea, and leaned against the roof ridge, waiting to watch the show. "If only there were watermelon or melon seeds," Gu Qingyue thought to herself.

She'll definitely stock up on snacks to watch the show next time.

A quarter of an hour later, Princess Qing'an lived up to expectations, wearing a white long gown embroidered with flowers and butterflies. The fabric was light and thin, and her movements were graceful and elegant, like a slender willow swaying in the breeze.

Upon seeing this, Gu Qingyue suddenly felt envious of the courtyard: Look, there's a hot spring, it's spring all year round, and you can even wear shorts without feeling cold! I'm so envious!

She wanted to earn money as soon as possible so she could buy a courtyard like this, where she could soak in hot springs, enjoy the scenery, and have fun with handsome men—how wonderful!

Just thinking about it made me laugh out loud.

Thinking that he still had to watch the play, he quickly shut his mouth.

Looking down, Gu Qingyue saw the woman enter Gu Yuanming's room with an air of nonchalance, and she quickly moved the tiles that had just been removed from her feet.

"General Gu?" Princess Qing'an called softly.

Seeing the man lying on the bed with his eyes half-closed, his face flushed, and nervously tearing at his clothes, the woman chuckled softly.

"Gu Yuanming, you've always known that I've loved you since I was eleven, but you always ignored me. Today, I'm finally going to have you. How about it? You must be very happy!"

As she spoke, she gently stroked the man's flushed face, her eyes filled with infatuation.

Gu Qingyue watched with great interest, her eyes widening. "Who says ancient women were reserved and shy? Come out here, I promise I won't beat you to death!"

"Gu Lang, you will like me, won't you?" Seeing that the man remained silent and only glared at her resentfully, she continued.

"Speaking of which, it's fate that brought us together. I once said that you would be mine sooner or later, but how heartless you were back then..." the woman said, beginning to remove her outer garment.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyue's eyes widened even more. She really wasn't afraid of getting a sty, really! Please continue!

"Look, after all this time, we're still each other's soulmates," the woman chuckled, tossing her outer garment on the ground.

"Get out... get out..." Gu Yuanming said with difficulty, his voice suppressed with anger, like a lion on the verge of death, baring its teeth, ready to tear the other person to pieces.

"Hehehe-------Gu Lang, don't be in such a hurry!"

Princess Qing'an's eyes held a mixture of excitement and distorted emotion; she was not angry.

"You've been poisoned by the rare and precious Illusionary God Grass, which has no antidote—" Her hand began to caress his chest wantonly.

Illusionary God Grass? Gu Qingyue's eyes lit up when she heard these three words, and her eyes darted around.

Just as Princess Qing'an stood up to get into bed, with a "thud," she closed her eyes and collapsed to the ground.

Gu Qingyue sat on the roof and clapped her hands to brush away the powder.

She's such a good person!

Look, they're giving the princess medicine for free, without charging her any money!

Although Gu Yuanming was not very clear-headed, he was still startled when he saw Princess Qing'an suddenly fall to the ground.

A moment later, someone leaped in through the back window.

"Who?" Gu Yuanming growled.

His vision was becoming increasingly blurry, and he could vaguely make out that the person who had come was not tall and had a man's hairstyle.

Who is it?

He used his last bit of strength to bite his tongue, and the excruciating pain brought him to his senses for a moment.

"Doctor Gu!" She uttered these three words and then fainted.

Gu Qingyue sighed, realizing she was such a good person. She had originally wanted to watch the show, but unfortunately, she couldn't bear to watch anymore.

She slowly stepped forward and carried the unconscious Gu Yuanming on her shoulder.

Before leaving, he kicked the disheveled woman lying on the ground. There was no reaction, which was good.

Gu Qingyue pouted and flew out of the courtyard.

Gu Qingyue stopped outside a small grove of trees after running for four or five miles.

After throwing Gu Yuanming into the woods, Gu Qingyue stretched.

Looking at the dark forest, Gu Qingyue took out a small porcelain bottle from her spatial storage, poured out a red pill, and put it into Gu Yuanming's mouth.

This guy is really lucky!

The antidote for the Illusionary God Grass was barely concocted by Doctor Zhang half a month ago based on an ancient book. Its purpose was not to save people, but for next year's medical skills competition.

I heard from Doctor Zhang that the Illusionary Divine Herb was very potent, and no one had been able to develop an antidote for many years, but he had already developed 80 or 90 percent of it. He was so proud of himself at the time!

He said he would dazzle his fellow disciples at the medical skills competition!

Out of curiosity, she 'cleverly' swiped a bottle from Dr. Zhang, and before she even warmed it up, she gave it to the guy in front of her, two pills in total.

There's only one left now, and I wonder how furious Dr. Zhang will be when he finds out.

Gu Qingyue felt a pang of heartache; she absolutely had to pay for the consultation!

Even a general cannot shirk responsibility!

Half an hour later, Gu Yuanming sat up shakily, leaning on a small tree, the tree rustling as he shook it.

Hearing the noise, Gu Qingyue jumped down from the big tree next to her.

"How are you? Feeling better?" Gu Qingyue asked teasingly, looking on with amusement.

Gu Yuanming heard her voice, clenched his fist, and thankfully, he had some strength left.

"Is my poison gone?" Gu Yuanming asked after a moment's pause, his voice hoarse.

The restlessness and burning sensation he had been trying so hard to suppress with his internal energy had slowly subsided, and his mind had become much clearer.

"Of course, that's a secret medicine I developed, two thousand taels!"

Gu Qingyue spoke without hesitation; when it came to shamelessness and fabrication, she had never lost.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanming looked up at her delicate features and found her increasingly familiar. He tried to stand up, but swayed and fell back to the ground.

"Don't rush, the price is negotiable, why are you so excited?"

Gu Qingyue chuckled as she squatted down, her smile widening as she looked at the man's gritted teeth.

To be honest, although she had known the man in front of her for a long time, they didn't have much interaction and she didn't know his temperament.

But looking at him now, so angry yet so helpless, it's really... pleasing to the eye! Yes, quite pleasing to the eye.

Of course, she knew that Gu Yuanming was not really angry at her right now, but at Princess Qing'an, who almost became his woman. But she couldn't do anything about it, so she could only grit her teeth and bear it. Hehe!

"Alright, I'm leaving now. I'll be back at the main camp tomorrow morning. I'll see this through to the end, don't worry," Gu Qingyue said, patting his shoulder.

"Oh, by the way, you should stay away from that princess in the future. Don't underestimate her poisoning methods," Gu Qingyue said, getting up to leave.

"How...how was I poisoned?" Gu Yuanming closed his eyes and pursed his lips.

He vaguely knew that Qing'an had feelings for him, so how could he not be on guard?

He originally didn't have time to come, but after receiving Gu Chao's letter stating that the princess would personally wait outside the military camp if she didn't see him, he had no choice. Since he happened to have to go back to Lizhou City on business, he decided to come and settle things.

I took the antidote before entering the villa, just in case, but I still got poisoned.

He had been thinking it over and over, but he still couldn't figure out how he had been poisoned. He hadn't drunk any alcohol or tea, and he hadn't seen any incense in the room. He couldn't think of any way he could have been poisoned.

Unable to figure it out, he asked out his thoughts verbatim, wanting to find out the truth.

He knew Gu Qingyue was a skilled doctor, and he needed to know how he had ended up in such a predicament.
