"It's only right to travel a thousand miles to steal, but there's no reason to be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. I've cracked their trick this time, but maybe they'll use a more brutal trick next time."

Qi Junhuai listened and frowned.

"I wonder if Your Highness can find the eagle blood. If you can, I have a way to conceal it from the world."

"The foreign countries once offered two eagles as tribute, and they are now kept in the palace."

"That's perfect. However, Your Highness may have to endure some hardship in the next few days. Before the nightmare spell is broken, the princess cannot use the inner elixir to relieve your pain."

"This will not only help drain the Yin Dragon Blood, but also allow the Third Prince and Cheng Jiao to relax their vigilance."

"good."

Gu Lingze took out two talismans from his sleeve and handed them to Qi Junhuai.

"This is a cloaking charm. If you two come looking for me again, remember to put it on."

It is estimated that the other party has already noticed what happened in the Gu family before, and now his small courtyard is surrounded by surveillance people everywhere.

"Can I send someone over?"

"No need. I have set up blind spots around the yard. I'm sure they won't be able to see anything."

The four people walked out of the room and just reached the main hall when someone suddenly came in from outside.

"Greetings to His Highness, General Gu."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Your Highness, Yuan Changyun has gone crazy."

Last name Yuan?

"Yuan Changyun is Yuan Mingjun's...?"

"He is his eldest brother. Although Yuan Changyun is the eldest son, he is born out of wedlock, while Yuan Mingjun is the legitimate son." Gu Xiuyi explained.

Gu Lingze raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this was still the Dali Temple’s own business after all.

"This Yuan Chengyun is the boss behind Jinyulou. It looks like Jinyulou will soon be closed down."

Early the next morning, Qi Junhuai sent someone to deliver the eagle blood.

Li Jin did as Gu Lingze said and did not use the inner elixir to relieve his discomfort last night.

As a result, when I opened my eyes in the morning, I found Qi Junhuai holding a quilt and hiding in a corner of the inner hall.

He is now afraid of light and cold. Whenever he falls asleep, he dreams that he is in a snowy field with groups of snakes pouncing on him.

Qi Junhuai has lost a lot of weight due to the torture in the past few days. Even in the hot summer days, he has to soak in hot water all the time, otherwise he will feel freezing cold.

Finally, the agreed day arrived. Gu Lingze looked at the eldest prince who had been transformed into a sphere, and thought that he must have suffered a lot during these days.

As soon as he saw Gu Lingze, Qi Junhuai closed his eyes reflexively and hid behind Li Jin.

Gu Lingze didn't care either, he had expected this situation to happen.

He walked forward and ignored Qi Junhuai's struggle, pried open his eyes. The moment he opened them, he saw a pair of vertical pupils.

But everything returned to normal in an instant, as if it was just an illusion in the blink of an eye.

Gu Lingze turned up his sleeves again and found that he had indeed started to shed his skin. The falling skin looked like snake scales, and Qi Junhuai himself felt a little creepy.

The situation is more serious than Gu Lingze had imagined. Perhaps it is because Li Jin's inner elixir has been suppressed for too long that the backlash is now so overwhelming.

He brought the two men into the inner room. As soon as Li Jin entered, he saw a bathtub placed in the middle of the room. The smell of blood kept wafting out of it.

"If the eldest prince were to drink the eagle blood directly, the two forces in his body would clash and he might not be able to bear it."

"So I used eagle blood to prepare a medicinal bath to slowly infiltrate this power into his body, but it will also be very painful."

But if you can't endure it for a moment, you won't be able to endure it forever. This is the only way now.

Although Li Jin was very reluctant to see Qi Junhuai suffer, this was all to break the nightmare on Qi Junhuai, so he had to endure it no matter how painful it was.

"After taking off all your clothes, get into the tub." After saying that, Gu Lingze turned around and walked out.

Li Jin hurriedly did as he was told. Gu Lingze estimated that the time was about right, so he pushed the door open and walked in.

Qi Junhuai sat in the bathtub with only his head and shoulders exposed. His face looked extremely painful and he groaned from time to time.

Li Jin stood by with tears in her eyes. When she saw him come in, she hurriedly asked, "Master Dao, how long will this medicinal bath take?"

"This is just the beginning." He walked over to the bucket, and the deep red blood seemed to be thicker than before.

Gu Lingze gathered the scorching sun fire between his two fingers and pointed it into the bucket. The eagle blood inside immediately ignited with a purple-blue flame.

Li Jin took a deep breath and was about to put his right hand into the bucket when Gu Lingze shouted to stop him.

"Are you going to die?! If you can't stand it, just get out. He will be fine."

Li Jin bit his lower lip, shook his head, and his eyes became more determined.

The eagle's blood gradually boiled, and the flames kept licking Qi Junhuai's body, but strangely, it did not leave any scars on him.

Qi Junhuai felt as if he had fallen into the Avici Hell. His inside was as cold as ice, but his outside was burning as fire.

I don’t know how long it took, Gu Lingze opened the door and called Zhao Chengmo in.

"Cheng Mo, help the eldest prince dry his body, put on his clothes, and move him to the bed."

Gu Lingze looked at Li Jin again and said, "You are still pregnant, go wait outside."

Seeing that she was still worried, Gu Lingze smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you a safe and sound husband."

Li Jin then walked out, looking back every few steps.

"What are you going to do next?" Zhao Chengmo asked.

"Enter the dream and break the nightmare."

Nightmare magic itself is a kind of magic that manipulates things through dreams. Ordinary nightmare magic can also be said to be a high-level hypnosis, but Qi Junhuai's is not.

Expelling the Yin Dragon Blood is only the first step. The most important step is to wake up Qi Junhuai from his dream.

If he relies on himself, he might never wake up, so Gu Lingze won't take the risk.

To enter a dream, one must use the Yin Shen Wandering Technique. Gu Lingze moved a soft couch over and lay down next to Qi Junhuai.

"Cheng Mo, light a stick of incense. If the eldest prince and I are still not awake after the incense is burned out, use a silver needle to prick our toes to let our blood."

Zhao Chengmo grabbed his hand, and the words to stop him came to his lips, but he couldn't say them.

"I'll wait for you." So you must wake up.

Gu Lingze smiled at him gently, "Don't worry, I can't bear to leave you."

After Gu Lingze lay down, he first relaxed his mind, closed his eyes, and circulated the small circulation of the internal energy in reverse.

After a while, he felt that his soul had left his body and moved towards Qi Junhuai.

When Gu Lingze opened his eyes again, he saw a group of poisonous snakes surrounding Qi Junhuai.

He held a sharp sword and kept slashing.

But although he killed many snakes, more snakes swarmed over him.

Gu Lingze hurried over and stood behind Qi Junhuai, with his back to him.

Gu Lingze also produced a long sword in his hand and fought with Qi Junhuai. Time passed by unknowingly, and it seemed like a long time had passed. Both of them felt numb all over.

Gu Lingze realized that if this continued, the two of them would be trapped to death in this dream.
