CHAPTER 1130: CHAPTER 1124: PICK SOMEONE TO MARRY

Searcy stared blankly for a moment before responding with just one sentence: "She must be sick."

Gu Youyou spread her hands and laughed: "That’s the situation, what do you think?"

Searcy snorted coldly: "What do I think? If she’s sick, cure her sickness. I don’t mind giving her a dose of medicine."

Seeing that Searcy was once again leaning towards the extreme, Gu Youyou had no choice but lay it all out for her.

"This matter is neither too big nor too small. Your father hasn’t agreed, and Madam Lu said you’ve long been unrelated to the Lu Family, so she hasn’t agreed either. In other words, you’re still single.

However, if the Empress is set on making you King Jin’s concubine, once the Empress’ gracious edict arrives, you’ll have to marry, whether you want to or not. That’s the situation at hand. I’ve analyzed it for you, and you have three options."

"Which three options?" Gui Yunxi seemed even more anxious than Searcy.

Gu Youyou said: "First, you marry him obediently. After all, King Jin is a prince with substantial backing. You won’t have to worry about food or clothing in the Prince Jin Residence, and with your abilities, no one would dare to bully you. It wouldn’t be much different from staying with me, what do you think?"

"Just say the second and third options," Searcy replied irritably.

Gu Youyou smiled and said: "Second, if you’re unwilling, then you could take flight before the gracious edict is issued. You’re all alone anyway, and since you have no ties with the Lu Family, you’re free to go wherever you want. No one can do anything about it."

That indeed sounded like a decent choice, but on second thought, Searcy considered the biting cold weather. Why run away? Wasn’t it nice to stay by Gu Youyou’s side, enjoying good food and drink?

"Is there another way?" she asked.

Gu Youyou said: "There is another way, which is for you to get married right away. No matter how influential the Empress is, she can’t force you to divorce and remarry, can she? At the very least, you are a doctor at Jisheng Hall, and I would not agree to her idea."

"Marry?" Searcy glanced at Gui Yunxi.

Seeing her look, Gui Yunxi’s face turned red.

Filled with a mix of anticipation and nervousness.

Gu Youyou felt it was about time and, holding her stomach, said: "That’s all I have to say. I’ll give you one night to think about it, and you must give me an answer by tomorrow morning."

After Gu Youyou left, Searcy and Gui Yunxi stared at each other.

Searcy didn’t say which option she would choose, and Gui Yunxi didn’t dare to speak up.

As the night grew darker and time slowly passed, Gui Yunxi’s disappointment grew.

She must be too formidable for him.

The thought of her potentially choosing the third option and hastily marrying someone else made him extremely uncomfortable.

Mustering up his courage, Gui Yunxi said to Searcy: "How about you escape for your life? Pack your valuables tonight and leave at dawn tomorrow. I’ll even act as your coachman."

"Wishful thinking," Searcy replied coldly. "Am I the kind of person who runs away at the first sign of fear? You think I’m like you?"

Gui Yunxi: "..."

"So what do you plan to do?"

Searcy said: "I’d rather poison and kill them all than run away."

Gui Yunxi was terribly alarmed and said: "No, that wouldn’t do. Such actions could implicate the Crown Prince and his spouse, and besides, killing is not right."

Searcy, infuriated to the point of turning ashen, found herself at a loss with such a foolish person.

"Then maybe you should marry someone."

Gui Yunxi turned pale and asked tentatively: "Then, which young master have you set your sights on?"

Searcy replied irritably: "Which young master? I haven’t set my sights on anyone. Even if I wanted to choose, there’s no time now. Might as well be you, then!"
