Chapter 59, First Release on Jinjiang Literature City 059 (2-in-1) Yu Yu, if I...

Hela and Mrs. Qiu also settled down temporarily in the Kar tribe. Hela ran to her mother's side: "Mother, why did you have to come here?"

Madam Qiu smiled and said, "Hela, the Kar tribe will have a very interesting time these next two days."

Hela was initially puzzled, but soon heard that Emin wanted Ur to take over, and her eyes widened.

“This Mrs. Imin is quite pragmatic! But Urgan is unlikely…” Hela said, then suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at her mother in shock: “Mother, you mentioned Urgan before…”

Madam Qiu smiled and said, "That's right. Since the water is already murky, I might as well make it even murky."

Hela's heart was pounding: "Mother, how did you know?"

"I won't go into details about this matter. General Yang has already contacted the Ge Teng and Ge Fan brothers, and they should be back soon."

General Yang is Yang Chong's father. Haila didn't expect him to come, but after thinking about it carefully, she didn't find it strange. He had always been her mother's confidant. Could it be that General Yang found out about these things back then?

Hela only regretted that she was too young back then and didn't know many things at all.

Khuril and Saren also settled in Khalkha. With the Great Khan in charge, there was no chaos in Khalkha for the time being, but it was estimated that it wouldn't last much longer.

After returning to her room, Yimin sat in front of the mirror for a long time. After a while, she took out a small box.

"lady……!"

The old nanny Hong, who had been with Yimin for many years, guessed what the madam was going to do at a glance.

"It's not that bad, madam..."

Imin sneered, "Isn't it time yet? It's a matter of life and death now. If we don't act now, our whole family is finished! The only obstacle in Urgan is those three brothers. If they're all gone..."

"That's too risky, madam..."

Granny Hong knelt down on the ground.

“There’s a saying in the Central Plains: ‘It’s all or nothing.’ You should understand that, Granny. Damu is being controlled. He’s playing witchcraft right under my nose. Good, very good…”

Yimin opened the box and saw a plump silkworm pupa lying inside. This pupa was no longer the cute, white silkworm it once was; its body was covered in black silk, and it was now terrifying.

"The Mother of Ten Thousand Gu is in my hands... so I still have a chance of winning. Do you really think that because I haven't made a move for so many years, I've forgotten all the skills of my ancestors?"

Yi Min took out the mother Gu and suddenly blew the whistle in her hand.

-

Inside the tent, Gesang dismissed everyone and said into the darkness, "Who exactly are you, possessing such powerful witchcraft?! I was stunned when Damu killed Taren! Please help me again, help me ascend to the position of chief!"

"I'm helping Your Highness, what can Your Highness do to repay me?" A dark shadow flashed by.

"You can have anything you want! Power, status, money?!"

The other party chuckled and said, "I don't want any of these. My master only wants Yimin's life."

“Yimin’s fate? Hahahaha.” Gesang laughed loudly.

"Then we're kindred spirits. Once I'm in power, taking her life will be a piece of cake—just a word! To be honest, I've disliked that woman for a long time!"

But as soon as Gesang finished speaking, a rustling sound, like a thousand insects crawling, suddenly came from all directions inside the tent. The person in the darkness suddenly changed his expression and quickly hid in the shadows. Gesang was stunned for a moment, then looked around—

"What the hell is that?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a swarm of insects fell from the roof, landing directly in Gesang's mouth and nostrils...

"ah--!"

He began to howl in pain.

He started frantically digging at his face.

To outsiders, there was nothing around him except for the prince who had gone mad.

Gesang is dead.

Its entire body was gnawed and rotten.

The news spread early in the morning. Hurile was stunned for a while after hearing it, and Saren stumbled over when he ran over.

The Kar tribe is possessed!

Everyone was filled with fear and unease!

When Hurile arrived, he only glanced at him before looking away.

Give him a proper burial.

He scanned the crowd one by one, but did not see Yimin.

-

"Mother!"

Urgan and Una barged into Yimin's room, where Yimin was doing her hair and makeup.

"What's the panic?"

Una was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and Urgan's expression was extremely complicated: "Mother, Gesang is dead."

"So what if he died? Is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

"Did...did Grandma make it...?"

Yimin put down her lip rouge and looked up at him.

"My son, what if it is?"

Una collapsed to the ground, "Mother..."

Yimin glanced at her daughter, then looked away: "Son, your mother has no other choice. In order for you to rise to the top, your mother has no other option but to do this."

Urgan's expression was extremely complicated: "Does Mother want me to take over?"

"Otherwise what? Everything your mother did was for you!"

Yimin grabbed her son tightly: "Urgan, you must live up to your potential! Your mother will pave the way for you! You don't need to worry about anything!"

“But… Mother, I am not of the chief’s bloodline, I… cannot claim to be his.”

Yimin paused for a moment, then let go of his hand.

"As long as those two are dead too, everything will be resolved..."

But just as she finished speaking, the sound of Madam Qiu's footsteps and voices suddenly came from outside the tent—

"Madam Yimin, there's really no need to make things so complicated. How long do you intend to keep Urgan's background a secret?"

Everyone was taken aback when they saw Madam Qiu and the Khan walk in together.

Yimin's expression twisted for a moment: "It's you? You Han Chinese, what right do you have to speak here!"

Hurile's expression changed: "Imin, this is Benhan's wife, watch your words."

Madam Qiu smiled and said, "I am indeed a Han Chinese, but I know quite a lot about your Kar tribe. You killed Gesang, didn't you?"

Yimin quickly regained her composure: "Madam Qiu, I don't understand what you're saying. I haven't left the house since last night. Why are you so sure it's me! Your Majesty, there should be limits to your affection for women. Why let her meddle in such an important matter!"

Hurile looked at her with a complicated expression, and suddenly took out a bottle.

When Yimin saw that thing, her expression changed instantly.

Madam Qiu said, "Madam Yimin should recognize this, right? Gu worms... Although they are invisible to outsiders, I have been searching for ways to make them appear over the years... Catching one or two would be enough to accuse you of what you have done."

Yimin took a step back, her face full of disbelief.

"No, I don't know what you're talking about..."

“You didn’t go out, but Madam has a mother Gu. With just a gentle note, these Gu worms that you’ve buried in the Kar tribe for years will come out. That’s how you killed Gesang!”

After saying that, Madam Qiu opened the bottle directly.

Hurile: "Awan, be careful!"

The insect flew out quickly, and Yi Min quickly retreated, also blocking her children. But Yang Hu directly blew the flute in his hand, and the insect flew straight towards Yi Min's dressing table.

Yang Hu strode forward again, and before Yi Min could react, he shoved her aside abruptly, took out something, and everyone was deeply disgusted by the scene before them—

The Gu worm flew onto the mother Gu and frantically sucked at her.

Upon seeing this, Hurile's face darkened completely: "What else do you have to say for yourself!"

Yimin looked at them, then suddenly burst into maniacal laughter: "Great Khan... I feel sorry for you. You've ruined a good business deal that I handed to you for the sake of a woman from the Central Plains..."

Madam Qiu: "You killed Gesang to pave the way for your son, but Yimin, why don't you dare tell everyone that Urgan was originally Gelu's son? That way, he would have a legitimate right to inherit, wouldn't he?"

"!!!"

After Madam Qiu finished speaking, everyone in the hall widened their eyes, and the clansmen from the Kar tribe who were guarding outside the door rushed in—

"Madam Qiu! What do you mean by that?!"

"You mustn't say such things carelessly!"

Madam Qiu glanced at Yang Hu, who nodded again and quickly went outside, pulling back two witnesses.

When Yimin saw them, his expression changed drastically.

Both of them were disfigured, a couple, kneeling on the ground.

“Great Khan, my husband and I both served Lady Yimin back then. After the incident, Yimin tried to kill us, but fortunately we were saved by Lady Qiu, who has taken care of us for so many years. We can testify that Prince Urgan is the bloodline of Lady Yimin and the former chief.”

"You're talking nonsense! Nonsense!"

Yimin rushed forward frantically, but was restrained by Hurile's men.

Urgan stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, utterly astonished.

"Madam, have you forgotten that you and the chief's wife married the chief and Prince Talen almost one after the other? The chief's wife became pregnant very quickly, but you did not conceive for a long time. You suspected Prince Talen's health and asked a witch doctor to come and see him. You found out that he did have some hidden illnesses and the chances of having children were very small. You were devastated at the time. You used a secret medicine and spent a night with the chief, which is how Prince Urgan was born."

Everyone gasped and looked at Yimin.

"The chief's wife later found out about this, and you used witchcraft to drive her insane. Chief Gerru probably never knew about this. He was deeply in love with his wife and never remarried until after her death. How could you do this to them?!"

Later, you continued to give Taren medicine, hoping to cure his illness, but unexpectedly, you also made a mistake. Although you became pregnant with another daughter, Prince Taren became extremely obsessed with sexual relations... As he grew older, it became increasingly uncontrollable. You have been trying to cover this up for years. Am I wrong?!

"Shut up, shut up!"

Yimin frantically searched for her whistle, trying to summon the mother Gu, but Yang Hu had already burned the mother Gu to ashes right in front of her.

Miserable sounds came from inside the room, while outside the tent, the painful chirping and crawling of insects continued incessantly.

Hela covered her ears, terrified.

Like her, some people felt completely overwhelmed just hearing that voice...

I feel dizzy and nauseous.

The maid continued, "After that, while hiding your secret, you became even more frantic in using Gu magic to control the Kar tribe. In fact, if you hadn't suffered a backlash that year, you might have already taken power, instead of waiting until today, right?"

"What backlash?!" Hurile asked.

The maid glanced at Madam Qiu and said, "That year, Dahadun came to Yimin, wanting to use Madam Yimin to get rid of Madam Qiu. Madam Yimin agreed, but unexpectedly, something went wrong, damaging the foundation of the tribe. After that, she had to cultivate herself for many years, which is why the Kar tribe has had so many years of peace..."

Khuril was furious: "When did this happen?! Why was I completely unaware of it?!"

Madam Qiu looked at him and smiled slightly: "It's all in the past..."

Enraged, Hurile stepped forward and kicked Yimin hard: "You poisonous woman!"

Outside the tent, Saren also rushed over. She had been in the tent with her son and was unaware of what was happening here, but now... she happened to hear the last sentence and suddenly collapsed: "Khan... no, it was this wicked woman who did it! It was her!"

Saren was clearly on the verge of collapse, but Hurile was even more enraged when he saw her, kicking her again: "Your score! I'll settle it with you when we get back!"

Saren cried out in pain, clutching his chest and staring in disbelief at the man in sweat. Then he turned to look at Madam Qiu, his eyes flashing with malice...

Hurile: "Awan, I never knew this before... Why didn't you tell me..."

Madam Qiu had no intention of saying anything more about this matter at the moment. Instead, she looked at the two servants and said, "What else do you know? Tell me all at once. You've been holding back for so many years, and I'm sorry to have wronged you."

"Yes... Lady Yimin became very cautious after that, and rarely used Gu poison anymore. Oh, right, she also tried to control the Sixth Prince with Gu poison, but she failed. She could only obey the Sixth Prince in everything, and gradually, she turned the Sixth Prince into an idle and good-for-nothing playboy..."

"A spoiled brat?!" Hurile suddenly realized, "No wonder you used living people as targets for Turing back then. You vicious woman, you were thinking of starting to harm my son too! You were the one who poisoned Chaolu, weren't you!"

Now that things had come to this, Yimin stopped struggling and just smiled strangely.

"Great Khan, ask your husband. I have no interest in your Chaha tribe's affairs. Saren, do you still want to absolve yourself? You know how you treated Turing, and you also instructed him to poison Chaolu! You fool, we were originally in the same boat. If I had known you were this stupid, I would never have... cooperated with you!"

"You bitch! You slut!"

A member of the clan barged in and began punching and kicking Imin: "You made a bad choice in marrying a wife, letting a wicked woman like you infiltrate our tribe! You caused our chief's death... Tell me! Was Gelu's death also related to you!"

Yimin's expression suddenly changed: "It wasn't me! I didn't hurt him!"

This is something that Yimin can't understand either—

"Including Damu! Not me either! Hahaha, Karl is in complete chaos, do you think it's just me? Behind the scenes, you've all been targeted by the devil! Great Khan, how many evil deeds have you committed yourself? Just remember my words, remember my words... One day, you will all go to hell...!"

"puff--"

After Yimin finished speaking, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Then, he slowly collapsed to the ground.

Before he died, Yimin struggled to crawl toward Urgan, but Urgan kept backing away, his face full of disappointment, shock and pain.

"My son...you must, you absolutely must go..."

He died before he could finish speaking.

“She was poisoned by the Gu poison. The mother Gu and she were already inextricably linked. Without the mother Gu, she won’t live long,” Yang Hu said calmly.

Silence returned to the tent.

Hurile closed his eyes.

"Great Khan, please make the decision."

"Burn this wicked woman to death! Eradicate her from her clan forever!"

"Anyone who practices witchcraft should be burned at the stake!"

Hurile glanced at Una and Urgan. Una had already collapsed to the ground, her expression vacant, while Urgan was also immersed in grief.

"Fellow clansmen, come with me to discuss the matter of the Kar tribe! As for the Yimin tribe, I will certainly give you justice."

...

Hela and Lady Qiu returned to their tent, the events of the night having left a deep shadow over everyone. Hela ordered bucket after bucket of hot water, wanting only to wash away the filth.

Madam Qiu patted her daughter's back: "It's alright..."

“Mother…” Hela burst into tears, “I never knew you had gone through such dangers. It’s all my fault…”

"What does this have to do with you?" Madam Qiu wiped away her tears.

"It's all in the past, and besides, your mother isn't as weak as you think. They'd never do anything to me."

Hela: "I know... Mother is amazing..."

She was also deeply shocked. When she was a child, she thought her mother was gentle and easy to bully. Now she realized that she had been too foolish.

The mother's forbearance and discretion reveal immense wisdom.

And she seemed to understand why her mother had always been unwilling to open up to her father...

Having gone through all that, what's the point of talking about love and romance?

“Mother.” Hela wiped away her tears. “From now on, I will also be your strong support.”

Madam Qiu smiled slightly at her daughter: "Mother believes..."

-

Saren was placed in solitary confinement.

Damu came to visit.

"Mother..."

Damu had just recovered from his illness when he heard about Yimin's situation, and he was in a bad mood.

"Mom, you..."

Sarin was also on the verge of collapse, and suddenly grabbed Damu's hand: "My son, my son... You must stand with your mother... Go and beg your father, tell him that it was all Imin who did it, it has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with your mother...!"

Damu's expression was complicated: "Mother... Father Khan is angry right now, he won't believe it."

Saren: "It's all that woman's fault! It's all her fault! Ever since she came to the grasslands, I've felt she would be a stumbling block for us! I shouldn't have been soft-hearted back then, I should have gotten rid of her! Get rid of Haila, get rid of Chaolu!"

Damu suddenly covered his mother's mouth: "Mother, calm down..."

"Damu, no, you don't know her background. She brought death to her own parents and is a beautiful woman from the Central Plains who has fallen on hard times! The High Priest said that she is unlucky! She will also bring death to your father, Khan!"

"Unfortunately... your father Khan has been blinded by lust. Over the years, she has arranged for Haila to marry Chasu and for Chaolu to be exiled as a hostage. These are all methods she used to lull me into a false sense of security!"

Damu looked at her with a complicated expression: "Mother, calm down..."

“It’s alright, Mother still has a trump card, Damu… Mother has hidden a card for you.” Saren said, then started laughing again.

She leaned closer to Damu, "This matter will pass quickly once your father calms down. Your mother won't do anything to you. When we return to Chaha, your mother will find you an even better marriage..."

Damu's expression gradually became numb; he thought of Una.

A better marriage...

What was he in his mother's eyes?

Damu felt so tired.

He didn't want to fight anymore.

…………

Liangzhou.

After the establishment of the border market supervision authority, Chaolu was caught up in endless busyness.

He left early and returned late, almost working himself to exhaustion.

This matter was more complicated than he had imagined. He didn't even have time to eat every day. What he looked forward to most was returning home after a long day of hard work.

Another day ended, and Chao Lu walked out of the yamen.

They encountered Pei Du, who was returning home late.

Pei Du smiled slightly at him: "Your Highness is going back."

Chao Lu looked at him with a complicated expression: "Do you intend to continue?"

Pei Du: "There are some things that still need to be dealt with, and they are not matters for the Trade Market Supervisor."

Chao Lu understood; they were corrupt officials.

This emperor of the Central Plains is truly remarkable; he can do the work of two people all by himself.

Even their cattle and horses on the grasslands don't have this.

He didn't want to live like that. "Okay, I'm leaving now."

Pei Du smiled and made way for him.

Chao Lu rode his Xiangwu horse back and forth every day. Just as he mounted his horse, Turing and Charles rode up to him!

"Fourth Brother!"

Turing was even a little out of breath, which shows how fast he had run.

"News just came from Karl: something terrible has happened."

Chao Lu's expression gradually turned cold, and he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Pei Du seemed to be looking this way as well: "Let's go! We'll talk as we walk!"

The witch doctor contacted by Turing arrived at the Wei residence yesterday, and Ruan Yu ordered that he be treated well.

What she didn't expect was that he was actually a high-ranking Buddhist monk.

How could he be a witch doctor?

Ruan Yu didn't dare to ask too many questions about this matter, but simply ordered people to send three meals a day over, without the slightest negligence.

Xuan Niang came to report in the afternoon: "Madam, that high monk said that he can arrange an antidote for the Fourth Master tomorrow."

Ruan Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, when Chao Lu comes back, I'll give him a day off tomorrow."

Qingguo laughed and said, "Then Fourth Master must be overjoyed. I've seen everyone so busy these past few days!"

Ruan Yu smiled and glanced at the time: "Prepare the meal. It's hard work, so prepare more of his favorite dishes."

Suddenly, Afu stumbled in: "Madam! Something's happened to the Kar tribe!"

Ruan Yu's heart skipped a beat: "What happened?"

...

As night fell, Ruan Yu waited for Chao Lu to return with a complicated expression. Finally, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Ruan Yu immediately ran out.

"My husband!"

Looking exhausted, Chao Lu turned and closed the door first: "Have you heard?"

"Hmm... I heard about it. There was so much information, it took me a while to process it."

Chaolu: "I have already arranged for someone to go there. My mother and elder sister should be fine."

Ruan Yu bit her lip: "I really didn't expect my mother to..."

Chao Lu hadn't expected that as he slowly sat down, his eyes swirling with immense emotion.

"I used to just find their faces disgusting, but I never imagined that such filth was hidden beneath those faces..."

Ruan Yu walked over and slowly sat down next to him: "Your Highness, what do you think?"

Chao Lu turned his head, and suddenly, exhausted, cupped her face in his hands, pressing it against the tip of her nose.

“I…I was ignorant before. And no one told me.”

He seemed to be having some difficulty speaking.

"But now I understand that only power is what everyone desires. Yu Yu, if I were to fight for it, would you support me?"
