ecstasy

The next day, Gu Tingshuang went to the banquet as scheduled.

Without the assistance of the soul-returning incense, Bai Chen's injuries obviously did not heal as fast as before, this time the scars on his face did not recede, and he was still unable to get off the ground.

Bai Chen asked someone to cook a table of food and wine, and barely helped him to sit on a chair with a backrest. When he saw Gu Tingshuang coming, he graciously helped him pick up the food and pour the wine.

The little wolf also ran over, and this time he behaved obediently under Gu Tingshuang's signal, but lay quietly on the table without moving, drooling over the table full of food.

Bai Chen took a sip of wine, and said in a soft voice, "I just came to the mansion not long ago, Your Highness is not familiar with me, and I haven't visited the mansion for so long before, so His Highness fears me, I understand... the previous affairs of His Highness Prince Qing Busy, neglecting the people and things in the mansion, I hope His Highness can understand, don't cause father and son to quarrel because of such things, this time His Highness Prince Qing asked me to come here, in fact, he wanted to make up for the debt owed by His Royal Highness to His Royal Highness."

The foxes are all good-looking, and Bai Chen seems to be a poor drinker. After a few sips, his face is glistening.

Gu Tingshuang was unmoved, watching him take another sip of wine, his face turned redder, and he even coughed a few times.

Bai Chen choked on the wine and continued: "His Royal Highness had an unfortunate life experience, and I am actually very sad. Although I am still young, I may not please His Highness, but my heart is sincere, I think..."

"Want to be my little mother?" Gu Tingshuang asked.

His tone was still blunt, such a sudden and rude sentence, before Bai Chen could react, the aloe vera in the wine had taken effect, he gasped violently, and then hit the ground with a bang while clutching his chest!

Bai Chen struggled on the ground in pain, the maids next to him were startled and came over in a panic to check on his situation, and the rest hurriedly called for the doctor.

Gu Tingshuang looked at him calmly.

Bai Chen was convulsed all over, his face turned pale, but his eyes were still looking at his direction seriously and deeply: "Your Highness, Your Highness...protect Your Highness! There may be poison in the food, hurry up and protect...Your Highness..."

He pushed the maid beside him, but found that the maid was motionless.

Taking a closer look, the ones guarding the room today are not the maids he brought over from Gu Feiyin, but the maid in charge of the mansion, Hua Qiu!

Huaqiu smiled softly: "Young master, don't worry, no one poisoned you. It was you who drank too much aloe vera wine. This kind of wine will not harm His Highness at all, so don't worry."

Bai Chen's mind buzzed for a moment, but he didn't react.

Gu Tingshuang laughed muffledly: "I love drinking so much, I think I can't stop it, so give him some more."

The gourds, water chestnuts and other people outside moved when they heard the sound, walked in and restrained Bai Chen's hands and feet, and poured the rest of the wine soaked in aloe vera grass into Bai Chen.Bai Chen coughed violently, struggled desperately, and in the end the pain was unbearable, and he turned into a prototype in front of everyone!

Because of the toxicity of the aloe grass to the foxes, Bai Chen's transformation process was hideous and terrifying, and even his entire face was squeezed and deformed, with white hair growing out.With a sharp and hoarse voice, he broke down and shouted viciously: "You bastard, you have a mother but no mother, who really cares about you!"

When the words fell to the ground, the little wolf howled ferociously and rushed over to break his neck.Bai Chen had already transformed into a form. The white fox twisted to avoid this attack. Instead, it lit up its fangs and gasped. It turned its head and wanted to run outside. Who knew that it was pierced by a long sword just as it ran out of the door. heart!

Ning Shiting appeared at the door, feeling cold all over.

He raised his sword, lightly raised the pierced white fox, and asked softly, "Who has a mother but not a mother, can you say it again?"

Gu Tingshuang was taken aback.

He didn't tell Ning Shiting about the banquet beforehand. Although Ning Shiting knew about it, Gu Tingshuang thought that with Ning Shiting's character, he would not interfere in this matter.He has always been used to following behind him, waiting for things to finish after finishing.

Why did he suddenly come here today?

The white-faced and fang-toothed fox was panting, and with every breath, the blade rubbed against the depths of his heart.Blood surged and dripped down the blade, Ning Shiting's white robe was soon dyed red, and even his hair hanging down on his chest was also dyed red.

Gu Tingshuang was dumbfounded: "Ning Shiting, are you crazy, you actually killed my father?"

Ning Shiting drew out his sword and threw the white fox by the door. He put away the sword, wiped the blood with the handkerchief in his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "I won't die. The white fox clan has nine tails. One life. Put this white fox into a box tomorrow and send the blue bird back to Lord Qing, our family cannot tolerate such disrespectful people."

Ning Shiting seemed to be really angry. Although it was hard to tell from his face, Gu Tingshuang noticed that his fingertips were trembling slightly.

This moment reminded him of the first time he went shopping with Ning Shiting, when Wei Jue and Fu Kang were talking about them in a small roadside teahouse.

Gu Tingshuang had heard those criticisms countless times, and he didn't feel much dissatisfaction—he was used to it. During his darkest and heavy four years, what ugly words and humiliations had he not heard?

Gu Tingshuang dismissed everyone in a low voice, leaving only him and Ning Shiting in the room.

"Don't be angry, I don't care." Gu Tingshuang pushed the wheelchair to Ning Shiting's side, looked up and saw blood was stained on Ning Shiting's cheeks, and couldn't find a clean handkerchief for a while, so he lifted the little wolf and grabbed it. It rubbed its tail against Ning Shiting's face, wiping his face.

The little wolf started crying immediately, protesting why Gu Tingshuang couldn't wipe the fish's face with his tail.

After being beaten by Gu Tingshuang, who had no tail, it became honest.

Ning Shiting laughed all of a sudden, the mood that was full of gloom just now seemed to have turned into a sunny day, and all the unhappiness dissipated in an instant - Gu Tingshuang always has the ability to make him laugh, childish can

He whispered: "I can't stand it, and I can't listen to it. I used to think that some words dirty people's ears, and it's over after listening, but now I feel unbearable. Your Highness will be self-willed for once. The consequences of this matter can be borne by the minister alone."

Gu Tingshuang was silent for a while.

After a long time, he suddenly lowered his head and smiled, and softly called his name: "Ning Shiting."

Ning Shiting said: "The minister is here, Your Highness."

"Do you really like me, don't you?" Gu Tingshuang reached out to clasp his wrist, through the cold and slippery robe, Gu Tingshuang realized that Ning Shiting was so small and soft when pinched.

He thought that Ning Shiting had become smaller, but later found out that his palm had become bigger and his strength was much stronger than before. Ning Shiting hadn't changed, but he had changed.

Because he has grown up.

He laughed in a low voice, Ning Shiting was stunned for a moment, then twitched his hand back, but didn't twitch.For some reason, Ning Shiting's cheeks were slightly red, and he whispered, "...Your Highness, don't be joking."

"Don't be angry, what's there to be angry about? Being angry hurts your body, and it's easy to get old." Gu Tingshuang asked him, "Let me hug you, Ning Shiting, don't be so sad."

Ning Shiting was stiff and did not move.

After waiting for a while, Gu Tingshuang found that he hadn't moved, so she decided to settle for the next best thing: "Then... next time."

Ning Shiting looked at him quietly, and sighed for some reason.

He then asked Gu Tingshuang: "In the past few days, Your Highness has been in contact with this... Young Master Baichen, did you notice anything unusual?"

The topic immediately became serious, and Gu Tingshuang was slightly disappointed.

Gu Tingshuang thought for a while, but didn't say anything immediately, but noticed something from Ning Shiting's tone: "What did you find?"

Ning Shiting said: "The white fox family has withered, and there are very few records. In the past few days, Mr. Bai has been injured several times. The medicinal materials used are different, and the recovery effect is also different. The rumored technique of eternal beauty may be related to this incident. relation."

"You mean to say that the White Fox Clan, like me, also rely on spiritual energy to cultivate?" Gu Tingshuang didn't know where Ning Shiting was thinking. Seeing his thoughtful look, he thought it was a bit amusing, so he hurriedly promised : "But even if that old fox keeps his face forever, it's not as good-looking as a finger of yours."

Ning Shiting: "..."

Looking at his expression, Gu Tingshuang knew that he had said something wrong again.Every time he coaxed him indecently, Ning Shiting would always have such an expression.

He coughed a few times, looked away, and when he was trying to find a topic to divert his attention, his eyes glanced at the wine on the table, but suddenly stopped.

"Aloe vera is an ordinary medicinal material for ordinary people, but it is poisonous for the fox clan..." Gu Tingshuang frowned, and countless thoughts surged.

A vague voice in his mind asked him: "Then what is not poisonous to ordinary people, but poisonous to mermaids?"

Accompanied by these words, there was a flashing image of the young man in front of the hall kneeling on the ground, with his chin tucked into a glass of wine, and he drank it all in one gulp.

There were more... more clues, he couldn't grasp them, but felt a dull pain in his head.

What else has he forgotten?

Ning Shiting noticed that his expression was wrong: "Your Highness?"

Gu Tingshuang's expression was a little painful, and he whispered, "I...my mother..."

Ning Shiting paused.

"My mother... the medicine for her illness, I remember... there are a few common herbs with mild properties, but... people with miasma poisons can't use it." Gu Tingshuang said in a low voice, "I...I remembered .”

"My mother... was killed."

Afterwards, Gu Tingshuang whispered uncontrollably: "You too...do you also..."

Was it also killed by a similar method?

He almost blurted out this sentence, but it sounded so weird - Ning Shiting stood in front of him clearly.
