Gu Zhiqi opened the small medicine bottle and brought each one to her nose, sniffing lightly. "Which one is the antidote?"
Mo Qingsnow casually pointed at one of the small porcelain bottles.
Gu Zhiqi unhurriedly opened the stopper of the small porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, and handed it to Mo Qingsnow. "Here, you take it first."
Mo Qingsnow’s face suddenly changed, "I-I don’t want to take it. The antidote is limited. You should give it to someone else."
Gu Zhiqi chuckled softly. "I really didn’t see that you were so kind-hearted."
Mo Qingsnow felt a pang of guilt.
"With such kindness, I certainly can’t let you die, right?" With that, she grabbed Mo Qingsnow’s chin and tried to shove the pill into her mouth.
Mo Qingsnow struggled desperately and refused to take the pill.
This pill was not an antidote at all but a poison. Once ingested, it would cause instant death. She had just been trying to deceive Gu Zhiqi.
If Gu Zhiqi had given the pill to those people, they would all die.
She hadn’t expected Gu Zhiqi to act .
Mo Qingsnow turned her face to the side, afraid that Gu Zhiqi would stuff the pill into her mouth again, and quickly said, "The real antidote is in my study! It’s in a hidden compartment in my study, and only I know where it is! This is a deadly poison, don’t make me take it."
Gu Zhiqi stopped the motion of shoving the pill into her mouth. "Let’s go, take me to find it."
Mo Qingsnow immediately nodded, "Okay, I’ll take you, I’ll take you."
Gu Zhiqi looked at Gu Xiyue. "I’m leaving this to you."
Gu Xiyue, who was applying medicine to Ling Yuxuan, nodded immediately. "Okay."
Then, Gu Zhiqi took Mo Qingsnow and left.
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the Qi family’s study.
Once inside the study, Mo Qingsnow pointed at a porcelain bottle on the shelf. "Turn that porcelain bottle, and the hidden compartment door will open."
Gu Zhiqi grabbed Mo Qingsnow and walked towards the porcelain bottle.
As soon as she turned the bottle, the sound of breaking wind echoed in her ears.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Three arrows shot through the air towards Gu Zhiqi. Mo Qingsnow immediately crouched down, but halfway through, she was pulled up by Gu Zhiqi.
The three arrows pierced Mo Qingsnow’s back, causing her to scream in agony.
Looking at Mo Qingsnow, who she had used as a shield against the arrows, Gu Zhiqi clicked her tongue lightly, a teasing expression on her face. "Why do you never learn?"
Mo Qingsnow was in such pain that tears streamed down her face as she groaned in agony, but she had no time to talk to Gu Zhiqi anymore.
She didn’t dare to play any more tricks.
Gu Zhiqi dragged her around the study before stopping in front of a bookshelf.
She raised her hand and pulled out a book from the shelf.
Upon seeing this, Mo Qingsnow’s pupils contracted slightly.
Gu Zhiqi took the book and walked to a wall, stopping at a table in front of it, and placed the book on the table.
As the book was placed on the table, the wall in front of the table began to move.
Soon after, the floor started to rotate. After one round, the table, Gu Zhiqi, and Mo Qingsnow were all transported to another space.
Mo Qingsnow stared at Gu Zhiqi with wide eyes, filled with shock. "How... how did you know?"
Gu Zhiqi, with an indifferent look, replied lazily, "I designed this type of mechanism when I was twelve."
Mo Qingsnow heard this, and her heart skipped a beat. She didn’t know what to say.
Gu Zhiqi grabbed Mo Qingsnow’s collar and took a few more steps, taking in the entire secret room.
The secret room was divided into two chambers. One was filled with locked boxes.
The other was an alchemy room with seven boxes, none of which were locked.
