Chapter 36 - Chapter 36 - Mysterious Man

Gu Qianxue's words were very direct, it was neither polite pleasantries nor hypocritical instead it hit right in the nail on the head.

As Gu Qianxue watched the three people still blanking out, she "kindly," explained to them. "You all thought Pan Xiaopeng is guilty of terrible crimes? Wrong. In fact, he is an extremely candid person, even so, that he knows that he will not curry favor in order to climb up the social status."

This time, don't even mention these three people, even Shopkeeper Su is also somewhat puzzled.

Gu Qianxue smiled, her slender jaded finger pointed at the tip of her nose, "What identity do I have, you all should know, right? Although I have a bad reputation, however, this young lady is the Minister of Rites' legitimate daughter and Zhenyuan's Grand Marshal's only granddaughter. This young lady, I, at my one-month-old birthday, the emperor even had to bestow me a gold lock. If Pan Xiaopeng is really a vile person that will curry favor to climb up the social status, he dares to publicly ridicule this young lady? To say this sentence that is not pleasant to hear, based on this young lady's identity, don't even say the complete death of this nobody, exactly, in the same way, the complete death of his entire family is also enough to spare."

Pan Xiaopeng's entire body trembled, he currently thought back and it seems… … in fact, it is true! He is very afraid!

Pan Xiaopeng has worked in Haolan Academy for a long time now, all day long he meets these high ranking officials and nobles entering and leaving the Academy modestly, it's been such a long time that he indeed thought he was not comparably different to the influential officials, he now nevertheless had a sudden realization that it was himself who got carried away!

Those high-ranking aristocrats were polite to the book boys, and aren't really genuinely modest, instead of giving the lesser individuals face.

To think of this, Pan Xiaopeng regretted more of his previous behavior.

To be tied up among these three people, one person spoke, "Young Miss Gu, even if Pan Xiaopeng is a candid person, us few people, however, are also not people who curry favor to climb up the social status themselves ah."

Gu Qianxue sneered, "If you all do not curry favor to climb up the social status, then why are you not saying words that you have in front of my presence? Why are you not in front of my presence resisting Shopkeeper Su's punishment? People-ah, being humble is not pitiable, what's pitiable is precisely people like you all whose fate is to be extremely lofty-minded that is thinner than paper, ultimately, to also slyly doing things sneakily, that's all."

The three people wanted to refute, however, they did not know how to do so.

"Miss Gu, even if we are despicable in the shadows, however, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-floor pagoda, can you just save us then. You also may not know, if lesser individuals were to be punished, we will not be able to escape death." One implores.

Gu Qianxue unable to help break into laughter responded, "What is it about your death that this young lady will have to reach out my hand to help those in misfortune? Just a short while ago, you all plotted till this point, isn't it because you wanted to take my life? This young lady is not that kind-hearted to save you all, don't tell me you all have not heard of Mister Dong Guo's story, ah, this young lady does not personally want you all's lives is already pretty good."

The man on the bed yet suddenly smiled and voiced, "Miss Gu can personally take revenge." Although his voice was weak, however, his tone of voice was lively, it sounded like his mood was not bad.

Gu Qianxue spoke, "Many thanks, however, I do not want to dirty my own hands."

The three people seeing the situation, how is it possible to still continue to dispute this, they continuously kowtowed asking for forgiveness, weeping bitter tears.

However the male on the bed, clearly with a look of calmness as if it was comfortable and aloof from worldly affairs, he however had a light smile with his eyes closed, not paying attention.

Immediately after, not knowing where these few people in black clothing suddenly appeared from, they have already dragged the three howling people away.

The wailing sounded like ghosts and howls like wolves were getting farther and farther up till it disappeared.

Gu Qianxue looked at the back of the men in blacks as they left and conjectured that the previous murderous intent that was suitable from these men in black came from them. It is unfortunate to say that they were always secretly being protected, however when the man had an onset in his illness, why did these people not show up? Don't tell me without the man's command, even if the man dies, they also have to obey?

The man on the bed seems to see through Gu Qianxue's thoughts in general and for such, explained, "They are my dark guards, just before during the onset of the sickness, the matrix formation was there so they could not enter."

Gu Qianxue did not completely approve, "This noble son, to cross over this strong defense psychology is as if it was a double-edged sword. Both swords can protect your life and also can harm you. If you had an onset in your sickness and they cannot come forward, are you not throwing away your life in vain?"

The man lowered his eyes covering his light gray pupils and covered the helplessness that was at the bottom of his eyes. "Even if they are able to come forward, how are they then to help, this illness is not worth to be treated, Elder Zhou, the miracle-working doctor once asserted, that I could not live past fifteen and, now already, I have lived four more years, this can be considered as a favor from the heavens. Even the miracle-working doctor, Elder Zhou could not cure this illness, if they come, how can they?"

Gu Qianxue knitted her brows and drooped her eyes, thinking, "Indeed, heart disease is troublesome."

The male's face flashed a hint of astonishment, opened his eyes, and looked over with suspicions. "Miss Gu knows of this illness?"

Gu Qianxue nodded, "I know enough about the general idea, your illness is rooted from within your heart, however, heart disease nevertheless has also different onset symptoms, without a special examination, it is not possible to determine the specific illness."

Shopkeeper Su upon seeing this thought that just before Gu Qianxue was easily able to save his master, his face greatly changed, "Miss Gu, this lesser servant begs you to must save master, as long as you can cure master's illness, this servant is willing to work like an ox and horse to repay Miss's kindness."

Gu Qianxue then could not help but to laugh and respond, "Shopkeeper Su, you look at your family's master, towards his own illness he does not seem to care so much about it ah."

While saying this, she reached her hand and pointed at the man on the bed.

You can only see that man quietly lying on the bed, his head was against the pillow, with a light smile held on the corner of his mouth, a look of tranquility.

If it was not because of him being weak that caused him to have a thin appearance, the male really did have a sort of a feeling of floating in the wind as if he was an immortal.

Gu Qianxue can be certain, if this male was healthy he would definitely be a male beauty.

It was unfortunate that Shopkeeper Su knew that his family's master did not care about his own life and death, and could not help but to sigh again and again, "Ai, based on the master's intelligence and wisdom, as long as it's towards his own illness, like desserts he also is unlikely to go as far to care."

The man then lightly voiced, "You again do not know my own heart? I have also read many medical books, but could not find any methods to cure my illness, rather than carrying fear every day, it might be better to relax my heart and to be indifferent to the matters of life and death."

Gu Qianxue also really approved with a nod, "This noble son said it right, when one is sick then one need to be open-minded, To be able to cure is the best, however, if it cannot be cured, it is better to think it through a bit, you never know if life will give us a surprise."

After that, she glanced at the man in white clothes, "If the noble son's sort of illness is brought from his mother, don't even say fifteen years old, even ten years old is hard to come by. However, this noble son is currently able to live this long, is all because of his attitude of the heart which has a certain connection to so."

Carelessly, the two people's four eyes met one another, Gu Qianxue blanked, only feeling that pair of gray eyes were mysterious like a sea of stars that makes people unable to help but want to explore.

This male's eyes were poisonous and there was this sort of attraction to this poison.

Gu Qianxue quickly returned her gaze and was afraid to be caught by this poison. People all say femme fatale is a dangerous beauty actually males are not better than it as well, especially if the person is wearing a certain mysterious character expression, simply exactly like a murderer.

Gu Qianxue is a cautious person, even more, when it comes to people, she rather prefers to be in contact with people who are more genuine and have blood and flesh kind of friends. Those that might seem like a murderous god or seem like an enigmatic or a high position official, this kind of people, she rather stays as far away from them as possible.

"Since the noble son is alright now, then I will not bother anymore." Gu Qianxue immediately found an excuse and positioned her feet to prepare to run (quickly leave).

"Wait, Miss Gu." Shopkeeper Su suddenly blocked Gu Qianxue with his body. "I beg Miss Gu to treat master's body then."

Gu Qianxue did not want to stay to help treat this male's illness.

Consort Qinfei's weird illness is already hard to put out the fire, she is not able to afford to bring herself more trouble. If Consort Qinfei had an unexpected accident, then Prince Li will never spare her.
