On the night before the three-day deadline, Hua Xiyao once again came to the medical hall.
Mo Qianxue could now move around slightly. She sat by the window and glanced at Hua Xiyao with disdain, saying, "Can't you stop coming over? You'll expose me!"
Hua Xiyao waved her fan and smiled, "I'm just here to remind sister. Tomorrow is really the deadline. Have you figured out how to lure the target out of the city?"
Mo Qianxue replied indifferently, "What if I don't do it?"
Hua Xiyao chuckled, "Then sister will die."
Mo Qianxue said in a cold voice, "Can you kill me?"
Hua Xiyao smirked, "I can't, but someone surely can. Sister should know the fate of those who betray the Young Owner."
Mo Qianxue looked away and asked, "Do you still have that poison?"
Hua Xiyao asked with a smile, "Which one does sister mean?"
Mo Qianxue said coldly, "Like the kind of soft bone powder."
Hua Xiyao laughed behind her fan, "Ah, the Seven-Days Drunken. Yes, I brought it. I was afraid sister wouldn't ask for it."
The Seven-Days Drunken, as the name suggested, could make one intoxicated for seven days and nights with just one pill.
Mo Qianxue paused and asked, "She has a good tolerance for alcohol. Will it work?"
Hua Xiyao handed the medicine bottle to Mo Qianxue and then tapped the bottle with her fan, saying, "No worries. Trust my poison. In the entire capital, I have the best alcohol tolerance, but even I would be knocked out with just one. Just in case, there are three pills in there. Sister can use them slowly."
At night, Gu Jiao came over as usual to check Mo Qianxue's condition.
"It's healing well." Gu Jiao said.
Mo Qianxue absentmindedly nodded, poured a cup of floral tea, and handed it to Gu Jiao, "Have some tea. Your lips look dry."
"Really?" Gu Jiao touched her lips, accepted the tea cup, and drank the tea.
Mo Qianxue nervously watched her.
At first, Gu Jiao had no reaction. However, while organizing the little medicine chest, she suddenly fell to the ground with a thud!
……
As dawn broke, a carriage swiftly left the capital city.
The coachman was from Heavenly Music House.
Mo Qianxue sat inside the carriage. No one in the medical hall noticed her departure, and by the time they realized it, it would likely be too late to catch up.
"Hurry!" Mo Qianxue urged the coachman.
"But Miss, where are we going?" the coachman asked.
"I don't know." Hua Xiyao didn't tell her where to take Gu Jiao, and just instructed to get her out of the city.
And now, they were already out of the city.
Had the Young Owner’s people not discovered her leaving?
"There's a post station up ahead." the coachman said.
Mo Qianxue said, "Ignore it, just keep going straight."
"Yes!"
The coachman whipped the horses, and the carriage vanished on the icy road.
Just as they were about to reach the post station, a group of gray-clad experts suddenly rode out on swift horses from a side path. They lined up on the official road, instantly blocking Mo Qianxue's way.
The coachman quickly stopped the carriage, "Miss?"
"You have nothing to do here anymore. Hurry and leave." Mo Qianxue instructed, "Just go to the post station ahead."
"This..."
"Go quickly!"
"Yes."
The coachman, bewildered, got off the carriage. He felt that the aura of those people was too frightening, and he didn't dare to lift his head as he walked past them.
Thankfully, they didn't stop him.
He quickened his pace and swiftly entered the post station.
It wasn’t until he entered the post station that Mo Qianxue lifted the curtain slightly and asked, "Who are you people?"
The leader of the gray-clad men replied, "The Young Owner sent us to pick you up. Is the person inside?"
Mo Qianxue opened the curtain a bit more, revealing the person inside who was in a deep sleep, "She's here."
He said, "Hand her over to us."
"Wait!" Mo Qianxue pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Gu Jiao's neck.
The leader frowned, "What are you doing?"
Mo Qianxue said, "I think I might not survive after handing her over. To prevent you from betraying me, I need to go to a safe place before handing her over to you."
The leader of the gray-clad men squinted his eyes dangerously.
Mo Qianxue said coldly, "The Young Owner wants her alive. If she dies now, you won't be able to explain to the Young Owner. As for me, my escape is my own business. The Young Owner will come after me in the future, but it won't be your concern!”
The leader tightened the reins, "Fine, where do you want to go?"
Mo Qianxue said, "Feng County, thirty miles from here. With fast horses, half an hour should be enough."
The leader of the gray-clad men gestured to his subordinates, then the group surrounded the carriage. One of them dismounted their horse and became the coachman for Mo Qianxue.
They rushed towards Feng County, but halfway there, Mo Qianxue suddenly shouted, "Wait! Stop! She's about to vomit! She's under the Seven-Days Drunken poison; vomiting would be troublesome!"
Those skilled in martial arts naturally understood that vomiting while unconscious could be dangerous. The group had no choice but to stop the carriage.
The leader, mounted on a swift horse, told his subordinate acting as the coachman, "Check what's happening."
The subordinate turned and lifted the curtain.
A gleaming silver needle shot out, too close and too fast he had no time to dodge. He screamed as the needle hit him, falling off the carriage.
"It's a trap!" contemporary romance
The leader of the gray-clad men drew the precious dagger on his waist.
Another row of silver needles shot out, and the gray-clad men wielded their swords to defend against them.
Meanwhile, Mo Qianxue quickly cut the reins of the carriage and rode off on a swift horse.
The leader of the gray-clad men was about to order the others to stop her when suddenly, a fire broke out inside the carriage!
"The hostage!"
The leader leaped off his horse, chopped open the carriage, and carried the unconscious hostage to the nearby snowy ground.
He vaguely sensed that something was wrong. He pulled down the veil on the other party’s face, and to his surprise, it wasn't the expected hostage but Hua Xiyao!
That’s right, Mo Qianxue had drugged Hua Xiyao with the Seven-Days Drunken when she came looking for her that night.
The reason she had also drugged Gu Jiao was to be able to leave.
She betrayed the Young Owner.
She couldn't escape death, but she didn't want to die in front of Gu Jiao.
Mo Qianxue increased her speed to the extreme, but she hadn't run far when an arrow struck her horse.
The horse howled and fell forward, and she fell into the snow.
She felt intense pain all over her body, and her chest suddenly ached. She turned and spit out a mouthful of blood!
"Mo Qianxue!"
The leader of the gray-clad men dismounted; holding his precious dagger, he approached her with a sinister smile.
Mo Qianxue raised her hand to use the silver needles, but he kicked her acupoint, and she instantly froze in the snow.
The leader of the gray-clad men squatted down, grabbed Mo Qianxue's collar, and pulled her ruthlessly towards him.
Enraged, he had nowhere to vent his fury.
His gaze fell on Mo Qianxue's slender and fair neck, and a sinister look appeared in his eyes, "The number one courtesan of Heavenly Music House, rumored to still be untouched by any man. Today, why not let us brothers have a good time before you die."
Mo Qianxue couldn't speak and couldn't move, she could only glared at him fiercely.
The leader of the gray-clad men tore off Mo Qianxue's robe, exposing large patches of her snow-white skin to the cold air.
The leader originally just wanted to embarrass and intimidate her a bit, without any real intention of doing anything to her, but this figure... It was just too alluring.
Afraid even eunuchs could act like real men if they saw this!
The leader ripped off Mo Qianxue’s clothes…
Tears of humiliation and despair fell from her eyes.
She trembled, felt hopeless, yet couldn't help but think.
Luckily, it's me.
Luckily, it's me...
The moment when she closed her eyes, a sudden cry of a falcon sounded above her.
Immediately after, a chilling red-tasseled spear, emanating an intense cold, shot towards the gray-clad man with a sharp sound cutting through the air. With the force of thunder, it pierced through the side of his head from the temple!
