Life-Robbing Consort - C7
Xiao Lan calmly turned around and cut off Housekeeper Liu’s line of sight, her voice gentle as she warned.
“You can come in now.”
Because his mind was unsteady, the back of his foot scraped against the door, causing his entire body to stagger forward. Xiao Lan moved extremely quickly to help Housekeeper Liu, and Housekeeper Liu did not fall to the ground.
Steadying himself, Housekeeper Liu once again raised his head to look at Xiao Lan, the shock in his eyes uncontrollable reappearing.
“Lanyi, your face, you … “She’s so beautiful …”
Beautiful?
Xiao Lan frowned slightly as he withdrew his arm that was supporting Housekeeper Liu. His gaze fell on the copper mirror on the dilapidated dresser not far away. He walked to the mirror and looked through the blurry copper mirror to vaguely see the original owner’s face.
Xiao Lan silently watched, and gradually, her eyes couldn’t help but reveal a sense of tranquility.
It was only right that such an innocent and beautiful girl should be matched with such a gaze, and not be her Xiao Lan’s ice-cold gaze.
The corner of Xiao Lan’s mouth curled up into a faint smile. Actually, she didn’t really care about the original owner’s appearance. As long as it wasn’t an incomparably ugly one, it would be fine.
Slowly looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Xiao Lan turned her gaze towards Housekeeper Liu, who was standing behind her.
Although Housekeeper Liu cared and cared for the original owner, Xiao Lan still felt that something was strange.
At this moment, she couldn’t understand how the original owner’s body had undergone such earth-shattering changes. Housekeeper Liu’s first concern was her appearance, not how she had undergone such a change!
Unless…
He knew something, at least he knew that the original owner could become what he was now.
Xiao Lan calmly turned around and her eyes that were as clear as water slowly fell on Housekeeper Liu’s stunned grey eyes.
It was said that eyes were the window to a person’s heart. She, Xiao Lan, had to face this window to clearly see what he was thinking.
“Uncle Liu.”
It was just two words, and it was the tone of “Lan Yi” who had always abided to his words, but this time, Housekeeper Liu’s head and feet were stretched taut.
Housekeeper Liu himself did not know why he was so nervous. He only knew that the pair of watery eyes before him seemed to have some sort of mysterious ability, as if they could strip him clean from the inside. Housekeeper Liu was almost transparent as he stood in front of Fang Lan, with no more secrets.
“Lanyi …”
For some unknown reason, Housekeeper Liu felt that all the sounds he made were distant and vague.
Xiao Lan took a step toward Housekeeper Liu, his eyes focused and holding his breath as he directed his gaze straight into the depths of Housekeeper Liu’s eyes.
Her hypnosis was taught to masters, and she was more than enough to hypnotize a person like Housekeeper Liu.
Under Xiao Lan’s gaze, Housekeeper Liu’s eyes gradually became misty, and finally, the chaos lost its original focus.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Xiao Lan asked with a gentle and rhythmic voice, “Uncle Liu, are you hiding something from me?”
Housekeeper Liu stood on the spot like a marionette, his lips quivering as he said in a low, hoarse voice, “Yes …”
Xiao Lan’s eyes slowly narrowed. “What’s the matter?”
“My son, save my son’s life … I want to use you to save my son’s life … ”
Xiao Lan’s narrowed eyes couldn’t help but reveal a hint of coldness. She had said that there was no free lunch in the world. As expected, Housekeeper Liu’s care and care had to be rewarded.
Xiao Lan’s voice was still calm, but it was filled with a desolate coldness that could see through the world’s emotions.
“You said you want to use me to save your son. May I ask how?”
“Rebirth Gu …”
Rebirth Gu? What is that?
Xiao Lan’s voice sank. “What is the Rebirth Gu?”
“If you consume the Rebirth Gu and don’t die, your flesh and blood will be able to resolve a hundred poisons, recover from serious injuries, and heal your muscles and veins to become green.”
Xiao Lan’s eyes widened uncontrollably. There was actually such a magical thing in the world. If Housekeeper Liu’s words were true, then this could be said to be the real “Monk Tang”.
Xiao Lan stared at Housekeeper Liu with a complicated gaze. “You planted Rebirth Gu in my body?”
“Yes …”
“Is it?”
“Yes …”
“Then you should let your son eat my flesh and blood, right?”
Before Housekeeper Liu could say another word, a middle-aged nanny suddenly burst in from outside the door. She ran up to the two without even raising her head.
When he saw Housekeeper Liu, his voice rose up in anger, “Housekeeper Liu, I knew you were here. The Hou Mansion is in a state of chaos, and you still have the mind to care about this life or death situation. The Madam is looking for you. Go take a look!”
The middle-aged mama finished her shout and only after uttering the last syllable did she realize the strange atmosphere in the room.
Xiao Lan recognized her. The personal nanny by Madam Hou’s side had the surname of Zhang. She was a dog that relied on a person’s power.
Noticing the strangeness, Zhang mama quickly withdrew the annoyance on her face and looked up at Housekeeper Liu. When she saw his blank expression, Xiao Lan snapped her fingers in secret. Housekeeper Liu, who had been completely hypnotized, came to his senses.
When Housekeeper Liu woke up, he looked around in a daze, muttering to himself: “What’s wrong with me?”
When Senior Servant Zhang saw Housekeeper Liu’s confused expression, she also asked, “Housekeeper Liu, what’s wrong?”
“Zhang mama?” Why are you here? ”
Hearing Zhang mama’s voice, Housekeeper Liu realized that his wife’s personal old servant, Zhang mama, was standing by his side.
Zhang mama looked at Housekeeper Liu in confusion. “I’ve been here for quite a while, and when I’m talking to you, you don’t answer. You’re just standing there motionlessly, looking at Ulan Yi …”
When Zhang mama raised her head and saw Xiao Lan’s appearance, the word “stupefied” was completely swallowed back into her mouth.
The more she looked, the more shocked Zhang mama became. Soon after, her eyes widened as well as they were filled with amazement, astonishment, and puzzlement.
“Who is she?”
Housekeeper Liu had already completely awakened from his trance. He quickly walked in front of Senior Servant Zhang to block her line of sight, and his voice urgently changed the topic.
“Zhang mama, are you looking for me, Madam?”
Zhang mama looked at Housekeeper Liu in a daze, then nodded, “Yes, madam is looking for you.”
“Then let’s go quickly. We still have too many things to do regarding the royal banquet tonight.”
Housekeeper Liu brought Zhang mama out of Xiao Lan’s room without saying a word.
It was only when Housekeeper Liu led her out of the door that Zhang mama snapped out of her shock and shouted with a sharp voice.
“Who is that woman in the inner chamber?”
“…”
“She can’t be Ulan Yi, right?”
