Chapter 289 - 289 The Same Cold Gu Poison
289 The Same Cold Gu Poison
Because it was dinner time, there were no more seats in the hall of Red House Hotel, and the private rooms were filled. Xu Qing was once again impressed. It seemed that this restaurant
was very good in all aspects.
“I’m very sorry, there are no more seats,” the waiter said to Xu Qing and the others apologetically.
“There’s still a private room reserved for Liu Gexu, right? Give us his private room,” Qiao Yanhui said matter-of-factly. Liu Gexu still owed them a life-saving favor.
The waiter was dumbfounded. How dare he call the State Master by his name? He even wanted to use the seat reserved by the State Master. Just as the waiter was stunned, a slightly fat middle-aged man walked over and chuckled. “Greetings, War God of the Ancient Kingdom. Since General Qiao is here, we naturally have to arrange the best private room. Will you be satisfied with the private room reserved by our Crown Prince?” The middle-aged man was very careful with his last sentence. Although this was insulting to their Crown Prince, it was better than offending the State Master.
In Green Mountain Nation, the State Master had a higher status than the royal family.
The phrase “War God” made everyone around look over. He was actually the War God General of the Ancient Kingdom!
Sensing the surrounding gazes, Qiao Yanhui frowned unhappily. This made the middle-aged man’s heart tighten. He had almost forgotten that the War God of the Ancient Kingdom didn’t like presumptuous people! Just as he thought that he was screwed, Xu Qing said, “Little Hui, I want the best private room.”
Qiao Yanhui looked at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man stiffened before bringing Qiao Yanhui and the others to Liu Gexu’s private room.
This was because Liu Gexu’s exclusive private room was the best. It was just that the overall feeling was too lonesome.
Xu Qing only took a few glances before ordering. She was here to try out this restaurant. However, Green Mountain Nation was already so cold, but even its restaurants had such a chilly vibe. How cold-resistant was Liu Gexu?
Xu Qing ordered a table full of signature dishes. Actually, they looked pretty good on the outside, but she didn’t know how they tasted, so she hurriedly took a bite. They actually tasted quite good.
“Mom’s cooking is still the best,” Xue’er commented.
When Xu Qing saw Xue’er’s expression, she smiled dotingly.
“Xue’er, this is delicious.” Ting’er picked up a dish that he thought was delicious and gave it to Xue’er.
“It’s alright.” Xue’er gave a very lukewarm evaluation.
Yuan’er also picked up food for Xue’er and the three siblings ate amidst a harmonious atmosphere.
However, the harmonious environment was ruined.
With a bang, the window was knocked open and someone rolled in in a sorry state. When he got up and closed the window, he turned around and leaned against the wall. When he looked up and saw the family eating, everyone froze.
“Liu Gexu!” Qiao Yanhui said word by word. He hated being disturbed while eating.
Liu Gexu leaned against the wall with a pale face and covered his chest with both hands. When Qiao Yanhui shouted, he placed his fingers on his pale mouth and shushed him. “Shh!”
Xu Qing frowned slightly. Liu Gexu was being hunted down again?
At this moment, Liu Gexu had long lost his previous aloofness and was in a sorry state. Finally, he couldn’t help but fall to the ground. His body curled up as he trembled. He was indeed being hunted down by the same group of people as last time. The royal family of the Green Mountain Nation was really stupid. How would his death benefit them? They were extremely stupid…
Xu Qing and Qiao Yanhui exchanged looks before walking over together. Xu Qing asked in confusion, “Is he poisoned?”
When Qiao Yanhui looked out of the window, he realized that some people with killing intent were looking around. Only the royal family of the Green Mountain Nation could brazenly try to capture Liu Gexu.
Xu Qing was about to take Liu Gexu’s pulse when she instinctively retracted her hand. This person was like an ice cube.
Liu Gexu’s face was pale, and his trembling black eyelashes were covered in a layer of frost.
“Mom, what’s wrong with Mr. Pretty Eyes?” Xue’er asked curiously.
“I’m checking.” When Xu Qing extended her hands to check Liu Gexu’s pulse, she felt that her hands were about to freeze. After confirming his condition, she hurriedly retracted her hand, but in the next second, she was wrapped in Qiao Yanhui’s arms.
Xu Qing smiled at Qiao Yanhui, then looked at Xun Fen and Teng Nian. “Didn’t you guys find out that he was poisoned by Gu poison last time?” When she first met Liu Gexu, Xun Fen and Teng Nian had been in charge of taking care of him, so Xu Qing didn’t interfere. Liu Gexu, like Liu You, had cold Gu poison in his body! These two people were indeed related!
