Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 1701: Chapter 1701: Drink a toast or face the penalty

“Guard brother, I wanted to take Lord Yan’s pulse, but if you won’t let me get close, how can I do that for Lord Yan?” she asked anxiously, looking at the guard, as a reminder.

Having finally gotten in, she couldn’t let her efforts be wasted at this moment, could she?

Although she could place the Gu Insects onto Xiang Qiyan without touching him, as she was already very close, it would still be best to transfer them through skin contact.

“That, I’m afraid is not possible.”

The guard was very insistent, shaking his head at her with a serious face.

“The Princess Consort of the Second Rank has ordered that no one, other than herself, is allowed near the prince, not even Leader Su,” he explained, and frankly, even though he had brought her in, he hadn’t agreed to let her touch the prince.

At the words of the guard, a flash of malice slipped through Gu Qingyu’s eyes.

If she couldn’t touch him, how could she ensure that the Gu Insects on her would crawl onto Xiang Qiyan’s body?

She looked up, glancing at the guard who was watching her intently, then around the room which, besides the two of them, contained only the unconscious Xiang Qiyan.

A smug look flickered again in her eyes.

“If that’s the case…”

She drawled, her eyes darkly fixed on the guard, flicking her hand hidden in her sleeve towards his face.

The next moment, the guard scratched at his nose, and by the time he sensed something was off, it was already too late; his head began to feel dizzy.

He didn’t have time to call for help from his companions outside before collapsing to the ground with a ‘thump’.

“Refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, did you really think I was just playing nice with you?”

Seeing the guard felled by her drugging, a triumphant look gleamed in Gu Qingyu’s eyes; the drug in her hand wasn’t just for show, putting someone to sleep in an instant was nothing to her.

With that thought, she lifted her foot and brutally kicked the guard on the ground a couple of times.

These crude men, daring to make her personally grill fish for them, caused her hand to be pricked by fish bones several times. Without giving a few more kicks, how could she relieve her anger?

However, now wasn’t really the time to deal with these guards; after she had placed the Gu on Xiang Qiyan, she could do whatever she wanted with these guards later, even death wouldn’t be too harsh for them.

“You just lie there for a while.”

She sneered coldly, then turned her gaze towards the bed where Xiang Qiyan lay, and walked towards him with large strides.

They wouldn’t let her touch? There was no one Gu Qingyu wanted to touch that she couldn’t, except maybe Qian Jiyun. But no matter, soon enough, that man would have to bow and scrape before her too.

She took out the small box from her sleeve, about to open it, but then paused as if she remembered something, her gaze sweeping over the man on the couch.

…

“What a fine Gu indeed!”

Holding the box, Zhan Beiye looked up at Gu Qingyu, who was bound hand and foot, struggling helplessly on the ground.

“Let me go!”

Gu Qingyu struggled, her face now swollen and battered beyond recognition.

Those guys were way too ruthless, beating her to such a state. Even if she was a woman, couldn’t they have just tied her up?

“They let me in themselves, what right do you have to tie me up? Let go of me, let me go!”

“Tsk.”

Zhan Beiye clicked his tongue, not bothering to look at the woman in front of him, instead keeping his eyes on the Love Potion Gu inside the box.
