Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 193 Beauty is only a moment
Even if she really lost her memory and didn't remember our encounter, she wouldn't have to fearlessly look for medicine for her fragile body in the future.

If he were to say who he likes, then among all the women Wuzhan has met, the one he likes the most is Wanjiao, but Wuzhan has never thought about it this way. He just hopes that Wanjiao can live happily.

Night had already fallen, and no one knew when the lights in the house were turned on.

Wan Jiao frowned slightly, slowly opened her beautiful eyes, saw Wuzhai in a trance, and asked softly, "Did I really escape back?"

Wuzhan came to his senses when he heard Wanjiao's voice. Seeing Wanjiao wake up, he couldn't hide his inner joy and said, "You finally woke up!"

Wanjiao wanted to get up, but she felt a sharp pain all over her body. She cried out, "It hurts so much! Help me up!"

Wuzhan said: "Your injuries are too severe, you need to rest."

Wanjiao's eyes regained their spirit, her lips curved, and she said in a tender voice: "I want you to kiss me!"

Wuzhan asked hesitantly, "Why do you want me to kiss you?"

"Do I need a reason to let you kiss me? Don't you like me? Kiss me now!"

"I,..." Wuzhan was always unable to do anything with Wanjiao, so he had to lean over and put his mouth on Wanjiao's pretty cheek, ready to satisfy Wanjiao's request. This was the first time Wuzhan had done this in his life.

Who would have thought that Wanjiao would actually reach out and hug Wuzhan tightly, pouting her pink little mouth to meet Wuzhan's lips, which were warm, fragrant and smooth. Wuzhan's heart was moved. Although he was forced, he would never forget it.

After the kiss, Wuzhan slowly moved away, their eyes met, cheeks flushed, and he whispered: "Don't steal medicine again in the future. I would rather die than have you take risks for me. You know, if Lingkongzi hadn't discovered you, you would..."

"I won't go again. I want to stay by your side forever!" Wan Jiao said with a smug smile, "Look what this is?"

Wanjiao's slender fingers held an inch-sized exquisite black jade box in front of Wuzhan. Wuzhan asked, "What is this?"

Wan Jiao said angrily: "You are so smart, how could you not think of this? This is the 'Nine-transformation Soul-restoring Pill' that Wan Jiao stole at the cost of her life!"

Wuzhan heard from Xu Shi that Ye Yi rarely appeared in the world and his cultivation was unfathomable. He poured his heart and soul into this elixir and must have kept it carefully. It would be difficult to find him in Kunlun Mountain, let alone steal the elixir that he regarded as his life. He said in disbelief, "Did you really steal it?"

"As long as I take action, there is nothing I can't steal." With a 'click' sound, the lid of the jade box opened, and golden light radiated immediately. The crystal clear golden elixir flowed in the black jade box, emitting a refreshing fragrance. At first glance, it was clear that this was definitely not an elixir that could be easily refined in the world. She said coquettishly: "Now you are saved, don't chase me away again!"

If the pill Wanjiao stole was real, it would be hard to imagine what kind of danger she had gone through. The easier she spoke, the more difficult it was for Wuzhai to bear. He asked excitedly, "How did you do it?"

Wanjiao said proudly: "Take it first, we will have plenty of time to talk about it in detail later." Then she put the pill to Wuzhan's lips.

Wuzhan did not take it directly. Instead, he held Wanjiao's slender hand, looked at Wanjiao's pretty face which had not yet recovered, almost shed tears, and choked up, "No matter whether this pill can cure my illness or not, you must not leave in the future. I hope you can always stay by my side." If Wuzhan were to die now, he would not be as indifferent as before, because he was reluctant to leave this world.

When that kind of emotion comes, even if it is only for a moment, it can make people lose their minds and even do whatever they want.

Wan Jiao smiled charmingly and said, "Who said, 'People who are with me will not have a good ending. You are a demon and I am a human. We are not of the same kind and can never be together. In my heart, I can never regard you as a human being.'"

Wuzhan watched Wanjiao imitate his tone and say the sad words he had said before. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, feeling both pity and helplessness. He couldn't help but go forward and kiss that playful little mouth again. How nice it would be if time could stay at this moment forever.

At this moment, Su Qi hurried into the room, and seeing the intimacy between the two, she shyly said, "Sir, Master Meng is in the living room and is anxious to see you!"

Wuzhan had a bad feeling that Meng Yi must have something important to tell him when he came to see him late at night. He whispered to Wanjiao, "I'll go see what it is."

Wanjiao glanced at Suqi, then looked back at Wuzhan and asked, "Who is she?"

Before Wuzhan could answer, Suqi replied, "I am a servant in your house, my name is Suqi."

Wanjiao opened her eyes wide after hearing this and asked in surprise, "Where is this? How high of an official are you, and yet you have people serving you?"

Wuzhan felt much better and said with a smile, "This is my residence. I am now the censor in the court. You can rest and recuperate here." He quickly ordered Suqi to take care of Wanjiao by her bedside.

Wan Jiao said, "Take it first before you leave."

Wuzhan thought for a moment, closed the jade box and said, "It won't be too late to take it when I get back."

"Are you still worried that this pill is fake?"

"I have never been worried. It's just that after taking the pill, it may take some time for me to absorb and regulate my breathing. I will go and ask what's going on, and then I will feel at ease."

Wanjiao smiled and said, "It's up to you. Anyway, Wanjiao wants to see you take it." Wuzhan put the jade box into the Qiankun Jade. When he walked out of the house, he heard Wanjiao said to Suqi in a haughty tone, "Call all the maids, housekeepers, servants, and handymen in the mansion. I want to teach you a lesson. You are too rude. You dare to interrupt the intimacy between me and the master. And the look in your eyes..."

Meng Yi paced back and forth in the living room, his eyebrows almost knitted together. Seeing Wuzhan, he hurriedly said, "Something bad has happened. Fusu was... killed!"

Wuzhan was shocked when he heard this and asked in astonishment, "How is it possible?"

Meng Yi angrily rebuked: "I have said before that Gongsun Yu harbors hatred for the loss of her country. She must not be allowed to stay. She will definitely harm Fusu, but you just didn't listen. Now she has assassinated Fusu. We are the ones who will die. You are so smart, how can you be so confused? Fusu is the future of the Qin Dynasty. Now that he is dead, how can we explain to His Majesty? We are all sinners of the Qin Dynasty now!"

Wuzhan's thoughts raced. Although Gongsun Yu hated Qin to the core, she would never kill Fusu. Moreover, Fusu was infatuated with her. She was moved by his true love and gave up the assassination of Ying Zheng and agreed to follow Fusu to Jiuyuan. Did she change her mind on the way? But she felt that this was impossible, so she asked calmly, "Second brother, think about it. If she wanted to assassinate Fusu, she could just take him to a random place and kill him. Why would she go through so much trouble? Someone must have taken the opportunity to frame her."

Meng Yi sighed, "I also suspect that it was Gongzi Gao and his men, but that is just a suspicion, without any evidence. On the contrary, Gongsun Yu's assassination of Fusu is reasonable and logical. It was us who killed Fusu and let them take advantage of the opportunity!"

"How did Second Brother know about this?"

"The two guards under Fusu are my trusted confidants. After the incident, they sent a pigeon to me immediately. The letter said that they were resting at Ganquan Inn tonight. After dinner, Gongsun Yu was playing the piano for Fusu. Not long after, they heard Gongsun Yu screaming in the house. When they rushed into the house, they saw Gongsun Yu crying while holding Fusu, who was bleeding from all seven orifices. They went forward to check and found that Fusu had died."

Wuzhan heard this and was even more certain that this must not have been done by Gongsun Yu, and hurriedly asked, "Where are they now?"

"I guess they are rushing back to Xianyang overnight with the coffins of Gongsun Yu and Fusu."

Wuzhan said: "Second brother, please stay in Xianyang first and don't make this matter public. Pay attention to who reports the news to His Majesty first, and I will rush to Ganquan to see if I can find the culprit!"

Meng Yi said sadly: "What can we do if we find out? Fusu is dead, and there will be no wise ruler in the Qin Dynasty."

Wuzhan said, "We can't let the culprit go and let the villain succeed." As he said that, he went out and called Lingkongzi, left Meng Yi behind, and rushed to Ganquan.

……

The strong wind cuts the face, the waning moon is like a knife, Lingkongzi carries nothing on his back and flies quickly in the cold night.

Wuzhan was extremely anxious. He had never expected such a sudden incident. He had thought that it would be the best outcome for Gongsun Yu if she could marry Fusu, but he did not expect that this would harm her instead. The reason why he rushed here was not to find the culprit, but to try every means to rescue Gongsun Yu. He really did not want her to suffer any more for this.

The mountains under the night sky rose and fell, and the howling of wild beasts could be heard from time to time. After flying for a long time, I finally saw a team of people with stars and lights moving slowly on the official road in the distance.

Wuzhan and Lingkongzi stood in the middle of the official road, holding up official seals, and stopped the cavalry.

The leading guard saw by the light that it was Wuzhai, and dismounted in panic, knelt on the ground, and cried, "I have failed in my duty, and I deserve death. The eldest prince has been killed!"

Wuzhan said coldly: "I have been informed and came here to investigate the case overnight. Take me to see the suspect!"

The guard had no mood to think about why Wuzhan came so quickly. Once Fusu died, they would all be held responsible. He stood up and took Wuzhan to the carriage behind the team.

The beautiful woman was in the prison van, her hands and feet were bound, her hair was disheveled, blood was hanging from the corners of her mouth, she stared at the night sky, her beautiful clothes were covered in dust, she looked miserable and withered.

Wuzhan saw this and said angrily, "Who beat her like this?"

The guard said anxiously, "We saw that she had killed the eldest prince, so we were furious and beat her."

Wuzhan suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Open the cage and let her out!"

The guard said, "Sir, she is..." Before he could finish his words, Lingkongzi kicked him in the chest. He screamed in pain and fell backwards to the ground.

Ling Kongzi shouted, "My Lord told you to open it, why are you wasting your words!"

The other guards dared not delay and rushed forward to open the cage, lifted Gongsun Yu down, untied him, and leaned him against the prison cart. During this time, Gongsun Yu seemed to be at a loss, her face was cold, her beautiful eyes were full of despair, and she did not even look at Wuzhan.

Wuzhan felt as if his heart was broken by a knife, and he felt extremely guilty. He ordered all the guards to retreat to a distance, then he leaned down and said to Gongsun Yu in a trembling voice, "Miss Yu, it's okay!"

Gongsun Yu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he stared at Wuzhan with unprecedented resentment, but with a smile on his lips, he said nothing.

Wuzhan felt a chill in his heart when he saw that look. He didn't know how to persuade him. He was silent for a long time and asked, "Can you tell me how Fusu was killed?"

Gongsun Yu chuckled and sneered: "He was killed by you!"
