Chapter 176 Playing with applause
Zhao Liquan glanced at her and asked deliberately, "Your grandfather? Who is he?"

"Stop pretending, Gu Yun is the first poisonous person to appear in Kyoto City."

Gu Linqiao gradually lost his patience, and his tone was filled with anger.

Zhao Liquan saw her looking like he was about to kill someone, and said with sudden realization, "Gu Yun... If the old lady remembers correctly, he was a general of the Gu family. He went on an expedition at a young age but died in battle, leaving behind only a young wife and a posthumous son. Those who heard about it were sad and shed tears, and the death of Gu Yun even shocked the government and the public."

"Stop chanting here, monk. You're tired of talking so much nonsense. I'm tired just listening to it."

Gu Linqiao was so anxious that he glared at Zhao Liquan with fire in his eyes, "Let me ask you, how can you let them go?"

Hearing this, Zhao Liquan laughed heartily. He touched his beard and looked at Gu Linqiao and said, "I really don't know how to answer what you said, and I don't know where to start?"

"If you think about it carefully, what should you say?"

"Zhao Liquan, don't think that I dare not kill you!"

Gu Linqiao stood up suddenly, and in a moment there was a dagger in his hand, which was directly pressed against Zhao Liquan's neck.

Life and death depended on Gu Linqiao's thoughts, but there was no trace of panic on Zhao Liquan's face.

"My child is a newborn calf and has too much anger. What's the use of killing me? The matter will still not be resolved and you will still be in a dilemma."

Zhao Liquan pinched the dagger with his fingers and pushed it away, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with anger.

At this time, Gu Linqiao was like a gadget in his hand, being played with at will.

Realizing the gap between the two of them, Gu Linqiao felt as if a big stone had been pressed against her heart. She put away the dagger sadly and sat back on the stool with a dejected look on her face.

After being silent for a while, Gu Linqiao said, "I know you have a way, can you save my grandfather and let Feng Yunsu go?"

Hearing this, Zhao Liquan clicked his tongue, shook his head and said, "This is not the attitude of asking for help!"

He wants her, beg him!

And she begged him sincerely.

She raised her eyes to look at him and asked word for word, "How do you want me to beg you?"

Zhao Liquan looked at her with a wicked smile in his eyes, "The people you want to save are the people you think are the most important. I really want to know, what step will you go to for them?"

He was deliberately teasing her.

Gu Linqiao did not hesitate, stood up expressionlessly, and then knelt directly in front of Zhao Liquan.

"Please save them. As long as I can save them, I will do anything."

After hearing this, Zhao Liquan fell back on the Grand Master's chair and said with a smile, "What is this called? You can run as fast as you can with the whip if you don't leave the eight-carriage sedan."

Gu Linqiao held back his anger and asked, "You want to say that I don't know how to praise, but I really don't understand why you praise me?"

Hearing this, Zhao Liquan let out a strange sigh, "Didn't I praise you?"

Gu Linqiao instantly thought of what he had told her to rebel, but she refused to admit it and said, "No."

Zhao Liquan looked at her and said, "Think about it carefully."

Gu Linqiao said coldly, "I want life-saving medicine now, and I don't have time to think about anything else. Give it to me, and I will do whatever you ask me to do from now on. If you don't give it to me, I will follow you from today on." You are your mortal enemy. If I don’t cut you to pieces, my name will be written backwards.”

Zhao Liquan smiled treacherously, "Children, you are threatening me again. I am old and will not eat this pot."

Gu Linqiao was so angry that he overturned the tea table and said bitterly, "What do you want?"

Things fell to the ground with clatter, but Zhao Liquan remained calm and commented, "I don't have any patience!"

Gu Linqiao was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. Zhao Liquan finally took out a brocade box and said, "I'm not kidding you anymore. Take it. It's just to save your life temporarily. How long you can survive depends on you."

Gu Linqiao took it immediately and was about to leave when Zhao Liquan suddenly said, "If the medicine I gave is effective, remember to return the medicine from the Liang family. It will be of no use to you." Did he mean to return it?
Gu Linqiao turned to look at him, "Does the Liang family's medicine belong to you?"

Zhao Liquan bared his teeth and laughed, "Otherwise, why do you think there is only one copy?"

Gu Linqiao wanted to ask more, but Zhao Liquan drove him away, "If you keep blabbering, those two people will be dead."

Gu Linqiao finally understood that Zhao Liquan was cunning and calculated the right time to make the request to her.

She had no time to ask questions, let alone confront him.

Gu Linqiao didn't hesitate and turned around to go out.

Situ and Ming Luo saw Gu Linqiao leaving the Zhao family gate. Ming Luo subconsciously wanted to hide, but Situ dragged him out.

Because Gu Linqiao knew they were here and came directly to them.

"Princess...Did the Zhao family say anything?"

Seeing Gu Linqiao, Situ asked proactively.

Gu Linqiao didn't answer him, but handed him the medicine directly, "Life-saving medicine."

Without waiting for Ming Luo and Situ to ask questions, Gu Linqiao walked away.

The two of them hurriedly followed behind, and Ming Luo asked, "Princess, how do you explain... to the prince?"

Gu Linqiao suddenly stopped and looked at him with cold eyes, "You want to save your master. Now that you have the medicine, why do you come to me to ask?"

Ming Luo's face turned red when he was questioned, and he did not dare to raise his head to look at Lin Qiao, "Princess, I'm sorry..."

Gu Linqiao said coldly, "There is no need to say such hypocritical words. I am purely saving Feng Yunsu, and it has nothing to do with people like you."

Ming Luo couldn't say another word, and Situ didn't dare to laugh at the joke. After all, it was easy to get burned.

But Gu Linqiao didn't care about them anymore, turned around and left.

"It's over, we have completely offended the princess."

Moreover, this time he was so thoroughly offended that there was currently no room for redemption.

Ming Luo said in a deep voice, "We'll talk about offending the princess later. Even if I have to pay with my life, I won't hesitate. The most important thing now is that the prince can be saved."

With that said, he planned to return to the palace.

But at this time, Situ took the medicine from his hand, "It's better for me to do this. The prince will be angry. At worst, I will leave the prince's palace and live my happy life. You can forget it. Otherwise, the prince will really execute you."

Ming Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you trying to take credit from me?"

Situ said, "Just think of me as such a person. I have never competed with you for credit before, so don't do it this time."

Ming Luo immediately retorted, "I brought up this matter, so I should be responsible."

"When looking into the cause and effect, it doesn't necessarily matter who it is. Let's just leave it at that."

Situ took the medicine and went straight to the palace, "Don't delay. If we continue with such a meaningless investigation, I'm afraid something will really happen to the prince."

A dark color flashed in Ming Luo's eyes. He looked back at Zhao Mansion, and his anger became even worse.

But he only glanced at it, and then immediately followed Situ's footsteps and went straight to the palace.

Feng Yunsu's condition is the top priority, and other things can be ignored for the time being. The grudge against the Zhao family will be settled later.
