Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 1700: It's the Young Lady's Honor

Chapter 1700: Chapter 1700: It’s the Young Lady’s Honor

If they had to wait another two days, they would surely be poisoned to death.

“Eat, eat, everyone eat, it’s rare to have such delicious roasted fish. The kitchen doesn’t serve us fish this tasty, not even a hint of meatiness.”

One of them called out to everyone to eat together, speaking against his conscience so much that it almost came naturally.

“You guys eat first. There’s no one watching over the master, I’m not at ease, I’ll go have a look.” The guard who had pushed the roasted fish to his companions stood up as he spoke.

Such distasteful roasted fish, let whoever wants to eat it go ahead, he certainly wasn’t fortunate enough to enjoy it. Why wait and not find an excuse to slip away?

“Alright, you go.”

The other few were indeed suffering silently, only managing to wave to their companion.

“Are you going to see Lord Yan? I’m just a humble alchemist. Why don’t I go with this guard brother to take a look? I see that the Princess Consort of the Second Rank is also quite busy and can’t spare the time to check on Lord Yan’s condition.”

Hearing her words, the guard glanced at her from the corner of his eye.

An alchemist, huh? Spare me. With such a good scheme in mind, she must be thinking of how to harm our lord, right?

It’s amazing that she can speak so earnestly as if she genuinely cared about the lord’s safety.

Do they really take them all for fools?

“This might not be very appropriate?”

Although he dearly wished that Gu Qingyu would hurry up and see his lord, saving them from the reality of eating the ‘poisonous’ fish, he still needed to hesitate when it was time to hesitate.

So as not to let her suspect that they were giving her this opportunity too easily.

But he couldn’t help thinking, with this woman’s intelligence, would she really suspect anything? Perhaps even if he agreed to her request on the spot, she wouldn’t have any doubts, right?

“Wouldn’t it be troubling Miss Gu?”

“How could it be troubling? It would be an honor for me to contribute to King Yan’s well-being.” As expected, Gu Qingyu didn’t suspect a thing, instead feeling very pleased with herself, smugly basking in her perceived success.

“In that case…”

The guard’s gaze was deep as he looked at his companions sitting at the stone table, then once more turned to Gu Qingyu.

“Then I’ll trouble Miss Gu to accompany me to check on the lord. Not to conceal from Miss Gu, I have also been worried about the lord’s health these past few days.”

He said, and then left with Gu Qingyu.

“Ptooey!”

Once the two had gone into his room, the guards sitting by the stone table could no longer bear it and quickly spat out the fish meat they had in their mouths.

“How can someone say a roasted fish that tastes this bad is good with a clear conscience?”

“Unless her sense of taste is off,” said another guard with a bitter expression.

“Or, I suspect she didn’t even taste it before giving it to us.”

“Let’s not talk about this, hurry over and take a look, don’t let her actually harm the lord,” a guard reminded.

Although it was a play, now that the woman had entered, they couldn’t let her really do something to their lord. He had heard long ago that once afflicted with Gu poison, it wouldn’t be easy to cure.

“Yes, let’s hurry.”

The guards quickly stood up and ran towards King Yan’s room.

…

Inside the room.

Although Gu Qingyu had managed to enter as she had wished, the guard who she thought she had built a good relations.h.i.+p with was now not allowing her to approach Xiang Qiyan.

And this was driving her to desperation.
