Chapter 73: 073. Mr. Liu(2/2)
"...So...they poisoned you?" Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the old man who was slightly panting and took over the conversation.
Mr. Liu closed his eyes and nodded, then opened his eyes and looked at the top of the bed, but his eyes were not focused. He was remembering.
"As for the poison, I took it on my own initiative. Didn't you expect that?" Mr. Liu smiled a little self-deprecatingly.
"I thought of it." Gu Xiaoxiao said softly.
What else could I do if I didn't take poison? There was no other better way at that time. If you wanted to escape safely, you had to pay some price.
Mr. Liu was a little surprised and appreciative. He looked at Gu Xiaoxiao and said with a smile: "Master Gu, it's a pity that you are a woman."
"What about women?"
"Hahaha, it's not that bad, it's just that I'm shallow. A woman like Master Gu, why should she be afraid of those short-sighted people!"
Gu Xiaoxiao smiled faintly and said nothing more in response to the old man's praise.
To her, all the differences in treatment between men and women in this world are problems that can be solved with force, so they are not problems at all!
"If you want to get rid of this poison, I can help you." Gu Xiaoxiao returned to the topic.
"Can you explain it?" Mr. Liu was really surprised now.
The man on the throne specially asked the most powerful poison master in Han Dynasty to make this poison. At least he has not met anyone who can detoxify this poison.
"I can." Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes were firm.
In fact, this poison is a chronic poison, but it is not the same as the poison in Zhou Zeyun.
The purpose of this poison is not to take human life. As long as you don't use force, you will be no different from ordinary people. But if you use force, within a quarter of an hour, all the internal organs will decay.
Presumably it was also to prevent Mr. Liu from starting a rebellion.
Gu Xiaoxiao thought of this when he discovered the poison.
Mr. Liu stared at her for half a minute, and when he saw that she didn't look like she was lying, he admired Gu Xiaoxiao even more.
Then he thought about it carefully and said with relief: "Forget it, at such an old age, I don't understand. With my old arms and legs, is it possible that I still have to go out and fight? Hahaha..."
Mr. Liu smiled weakly and joked.
Then he sighed softly and said: "I have nothing to ask for now. As long as Yuan'er is well and everything is well in the house, everything will be fine!"
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxiao took a closer look at the old man, and the familiar feeling in his heart appeared again. The wrinkles on the old man's face could not block his once handsome appearance, and his physical appearance was there, so he couldn't be bad.
But, why on earth are they familiar...
Outside the house, under the window eaves, Liu Siyuan was already in tears. He suppressed his emotions to prevent himself from being exposed.
He never knew that his grandfather was poisoned, nor did he know what price his grandfather paid so that they could leave Bianjing alive.
After Gu Xiaoxiao came back to his senses, he suppressed the confusion in his heart, quietly raised his eyes, and looked at the slightly trembling shadow in the corner of the window. Mr. Liu happened to have his back to the window, so he couldn't see it.
After a while, the shadow disappeared.
Gu Xiaoxiao knew that Liu Siyuan had been there from the beginning and he had not left.
At this moment, he actually left for the kitchen.
Mr. Liu didn't want to worry about his grandson knowing about these things, fearing that he would be even more worried, and Liu Siyuan didn't want anything to happen to his grandfather. No matter how difficult the condition was, he wanted to be aware of it.
Neither my grandfather nor my grandson wanted to pierce this layer of window paper, and she had no need to.
This is the best way to deal with it.
