Chun Ying knelt down and saw the white jade bottle in front of him.

Their faces were pale and their lips quivered, but they could not utter a single word.

Gu Ziyan and Shuang Hua were both at a loss for words, but seeing that Gu Mingyan had already turned around and sat down, her posture was straight, her expression indifferent, her hand was supporting herself on the table, her eyes narrowing slightly, she picked up a piece of cake and placed it in her mouth, saying: "Sister Shuang Hua, quickly sit down and eat."

Shuang Hua raised his eyebrow, he was still seated beside Gu Mingyan, and before he could even open his mouth, he had been fed a mouthful of cake.

Gu Mingyan winked at her, indicating that she was alright before he poured himself a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of her.

"Eldest Miss …" Qiu Mei crawled in front of Gu Mingyan.

Only then did Gu Mingyan lower his head and look at her after her skirt had been grabbed. He tenderly bent down and touched her ice-cold face, and with a light shake of his wrist, an extremely simple knife fell beside Qiu Mei's feet.

Qiu Mei was trembling from head to toe, but Gu Mingyan's voice was still as gentle as the spring water, and her slender fingers had already grabbed onto her chin, forcing her to raise her head.

"If I knew earlier, why would I have done what I did before?"

Letting go of her chin, Gu Mingyan simply lifted her skirt and crossed her legs, then smiled at the two of them.

"If the poison knife is useless, I can find the white silk string for you. The pain will be relieved in an instant, and it can also be considered a master and servant relationship."

After she finished speaking, she didn't even bother to look at the two of them, she only touched a piece of cake and placed it in her mouth and asked Gu Ziyan.

"Does my sister think I did the right thing?"

The person in front of him was none other than the wild girl that he'd seen earlier.

Swallowing his saliva, Gu Ziyan carefully replied: "Big sister is right."

Chun Ying and Qiu Mei were both wide-eyed, Shuang Hua who was watching by the side only felt that it was funny.

So it turned out that the second young miss of Prime Minister's Mansion was actually a scorpion beauty.

Gu Mingyan could only give a light smile, and turned back to look at Chun Ying, her face ashen white, but she still managed to open the jade bottle with great difficulty, and with a gulp, she closed her eyes and sat down on the side, waiting for death.

Qiu Mei also felt disheartened as he slowly picked up the dagger by his side …

"Pata ~ ~"

The dagger in his hand was swung and dropped onto the ground. Qiu Mei raised his head with tears streaming down his face.

They met those limpid eyes.

Gu Mingyan's face had a sneer on it, he lifted his skirt and walked past Qiu Mei, then bent down to pick up the white jade porcelain bottle that was already empty. After walking around the place for a while, he said, "I was just looking to see if you guys were loyal, and from the looks of it, you guys care more about little sister Zi Yan's orders, so why do you need to be wronged and stay by my useless miss's side?"

She squatted down and wiped away Chun Ying's tears, her fingers caressing the corners of her eyes as she gently said: "You can only cherish your own life, even if it's your own servant, you must find a master that doesn't want you to die."

Chun Ying was slightly dazed, and still wanted to grab onto Gu Mingyan's sleeve.

She leaned forward, her eyes were slightly pale, and her voice had also become deeper, "These two maids will be giving them to little sister Ziyan, they are willing to listen to your orders and die, it's truly so laughable."

The last four words were loud and clear.

The girl in front of him had turned a bit colder, and her eyes were filled with rage.

"Elder sister, what are you talking about? You were the one who poisoned her first …"

"There are tonics in here." Gu Mingyan also raised his hand and pinched Gu Ziyan's chin, his gaze cold: "They are loyal to you, yet you actually handed their lives over to me. From the looks of it, us two sisters are not good stuff."

After she finished speaking, she shook off Gu Ziyan's chin and used the handkerchief to wipe her fingertips.

That night, you pushed me into the empty Seventh Prince Palace to fend for yourself. That year, you stripped off my mother's food and clothing, causing my mother to almost die from a personal illness. When I was young, you pushed me into the cold pond. Gu Mingyan's voice was calm, but the cold intent behind it was still able to make Gu Ziyan tremble uncontrollably.

"Elder sister, what happened back then was my fault. Now that you have returned, I must treat you as my own sister …"

"Of course not. I will personally take back the items one by one. I don't need these two maids, so I'll have to ask my sister to accept them herself."

Gu Mingyan turned his body and waved his sleeves.

Gu Ziyan felt his vision blurred. When he came back to his senses, Gu Mingyan had already entered his room and closed the door.

Shuang Hua felt that everything that was happening was happening too quickly and he was unable to react. He exchanged a glance with Xiao Qiran who was in the dark before he hurriedly followed Gu Mingyan into his room.

Inside the house, Gu Mingyan's expression had already returned to normal, but Shuang Hua was still unable to see through her. "Eldest Miss …"

"I've only lied to them. It would be impossible for them to find out that I've drugged them under such extreme circumstances." Gu Mingyan blinked her eyes mischievously, and leaned back in her chair with a smile on her face: "But when she agreed, I was really angry, and that's why I got so angry, don't hate me Big Sister Shuang Hua."

"Could it be that the young miss really has a thousand faces?"

"Of course I do, but I promise you, as long as Sister Shuang Hua continues to trust me, I won't hide anything in front of Sister Shuang Hua."

Gu Mingyan quickly made a vow with his hands, his eyes filled with sincerity.

Shuang Hua did suspect something, but when she sat down, Gu Mingyan fawningly took out a candied fruit from his bosom and placed it in her mouth, and she softly said: "I indeed do not like Gu Ziyan and the two maids, but I did not want to fall out with them. This time, I have done it as a warning for the two maids, loyal to the point that both of us have to be careful, and secondly, as I have revealed my sharpness, Gu Ziyan would think that I am very easy to bully."

"But before, you clearly acted as if you were innocent, so isn't now useless." Shuang Hua chewed on his candied fruit.

However, if I were to reveal this layer of skin myself, now that Seventh Prince has treated me pretty well, even if Father knew, he wouldn't do anything to me. Instead, he would think of a way to rope me in, so that I don't have the same thoughts as Seventh Prince, and instead go back to take revenge on his disappointing wife and adopted daughter. "

Gu Mingyan exaggeratedly made a crying gesture, to the point where even Shuang Hua started to laugh.

"In that case, the matter today …"

"I've poisoned myself, I will definitely not be able to get up by tomorrow, the two servant girls in Seventh Prince have no one to guarantee them that they will not come here, at that time, Sister Shuang Hua will make an excuse to bring me to live in another courtyard, then you can go out and work for Your Highness."

Gu Mingyan's mind was clear, all the way until the end.

Not only were there no doubts in Shuang Hua's mind, he was actually quite calm.

And Xiao Qiran who was just outside the wall heard her words clearly, and left without making a sound.

This girl might really be able to help him establish the Dark Pavilion.
