Yin Jiahan remained calm when he saw people rushing into the main room.

One of the guards touched an ornament on the shelf, and his hand began to rot.

"Ah!" the guard screamed in agony.

This made all the guards who rushed into the room afraid to take any further action, and they could only watch helplessly as the hand rotted.

"Your Majesty, this room of mine is filled with Gu poison. If Your Majesty were to accidentally touch it, I would be a sinner for all eternity." Yin Jiahan's meaning was clear: if he were to accidentally touch the Gu poison, he would surely die.

Ziyi clenched his fists in anger as he watched the guards fall one after another, his cold eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Step back!" Ziyi ordered, and all the guards withdrew from the main room.

The guards who were tormented by the Gu poison were also dragged out.

He looked at Inga coldly and sneered, "I still have to remind the Grand Preceptor that harboring a criminal is a capital offense, and I hope the Grand Preceptor will take heed."

After saying this, Ziyi turned and left. When he reached the gate of the mansion, he suddenly remembered something.

He drew the long sword from the guard beside him and slashed a bloody gash in his palm.

Li Ding was shocked and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

"Li Ding, go check if Yin Jiahan has any wounds on his hands?"

"Your Majesty..." Li Ding didn't understand what he meant.

"Go when I tell you to, and remember, you must be in the exact same spot as my wound," Ziyi repeatedly instructed.

"Yes, sir." Li Ding returned to the courtyard and saw Yin Jiahan still standing in front of the main house waiting for them to leave.

He stepped forward with an embarrassed smile and asked with concern, "Grand Preceptor, His Majesty is worried about your health, so he sent me to inquire if you are injured?"

Yin Jiahan was somewhat puzzled about what Dongfang Ziyi was up to, and replied calmly, "I am fine."

He noticed that Li Ding was staring intently at his hands, as if searching for something.

"Does Eunuch Li have anything else to say?" Yin Jiahan asked, reminding him.

Li Ding snapped out of his daze, bowed, and said, "I'm glad you're alright, Grand Preceptor. This servant will take his leave now."

Li Ding returned to the palace to report back.

"Your Majesty, this servant has examined the Grand Preceptor's hands and found them to be clean and free of any injuries."

Upon hearing this, Ziyi angrily threw the teacup in his hand away.

With a loud crash, the teacup shattered.

Li Ding dared not say more.

Ziyi looked at the wound on his hand and laughed in anger, "Well, Tiantian, I was actually fooled by you for three years!"

Three years ago, Dongfang Ziyi was just the Crown Prince. Mu Tiantian used a curse on him for Yin Jiahan's safety.

“Your Highness, I have already placed my newly developed Gu on you. If Xiao Han is harmed in the slightest, you will suffer the same pain. If he dies, you will not live either.”

"Tian Tian, ​​do you really distrust me like this? Since you've agreed to marry me and become my Crown Princess, I'll naturally listen to everything you say."

"I just don't trust you after I leave."

At that time, Ziyi did not understand the meaning behind Mu Tiantian's words. Later, he realized that she had never thought about marrying him.

On their wedding day, she ran away. He searched everywhere but couldn't find a trace of her, as if she had vanished into thin air.

He went to verify her words, and indeed, whenever Yin Jiahan was injured, the same wound would appear on his body.

So he kept his promise and ensured Ingahan's safety.

But he didn't know that the effect of this poison had a time limit, and once the time was up, his life and Yin Jiahan's life would no longer be connected.

However, Mu Tiantian didn't tell him, and even emphasized to him that the Gu would be effective as long as he was alive.

now.

Sitting on the bed in the secret room, Mu Tiantian, who was already able to move around, stretched and muttered to herself, "I wonder if Dongfang Ziyi has discovered that the Gu has actually expired a long time ago."

The system's initial task was for her to hand over Yin Jiahan to the incompetent and perverted emperor in exchange for a reward, thereby instilling hatred in Yin Jiahan towards her.

Then let the emperor torture him to accelerate his growth, and then he will be redeemed by the heroine of the world, becoming a powerful person so that the world can develop rapidly.

But she didn't want him to get hurt, so she went to negotiate with Dongfang Ziyi and handed him over to him.

She also said a lot of harsh things to him, making him hate her.

Just in case, she put a curse on Dongfang Ziyi, lying to him that the curse would stay with him for life. In reality, the curse would only last for a month at most, but as long as he believed it, that was enough.

Mu Tiantian took a deep breath and pressed several acupoints on herself, which should temporarily suppress Yin Jiahan's taming gu.

Now that Qi Tong isn't here, what if he manages to trick us into revealing information? It's best to be careful.

boom--

The stone door opened, and Mu Tiantian saw Yin Jiahan return. She smiled sweetly and asked, "Xiaohan, what happened outside?"

"It's nothing." Yin Jiahan sat down beside her and gently brushed the strands of hair that had fallen beside her ear.

"But I just heard what sounded like screams outside."

Yin Jiahan smiled slightly, leaned closer to Mu Tiantian, and whispered, "A few bandits came by just now, but I took care of them. Their bodies are probably starting to decompose now. Would you like to go out and take a look, sister?"

Upon hearing about the rotting corpse, Mu Tiantian quickly shook her head, "Forget it."

"Sister, what agreement did you make with Dongfang Ziyi? Answer me." Yin Jiahan gave the order to the Gu worms inside Mu Tiantian's body.

Mu Tiantian pretended to be controlled and replied, "At the time, I was greedy for money and power, but I also felt guilty, so I wanted Dongfang Ziyi to treat you well. He promised me, and that's our agreement."

What she said was half true and half false, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"Sister, look at me."

Mu Tiantian obediently raised her eyes and met his bewitching, fox-like eyes, deep and serious.

"Sister, have you ever been attracted to me?" Yin Jiahan's heart pounded faster as she asked this question.

Mu Tiantian also felt her heart beating unusually, and she replied, "I've had feelings for you."

Yin Jiahan smiled and continued cautiously, "Tian Tian, ​​do you...love me?"

At this moment, their hearts were not only pounding, but they also occasionally felt a pang of heartache.

Mu Tiantian gazed into his expectant eyes and slowly said, "Love."

My heart was still pounding.

"Then tell me, you love me."

"I love you."

Yin Jiahan could no longer tell whether she was speaking from the heart or because the taming Gu had taken effect.

But he was only willing to believe the former.

Overjoyed, his dark eyes filled with deep affection, he said, "Tian Tian, ​​I love you."

After saying that, he gently kissed her lips.

Treat it with care, like a pearl held in the palm of your hand.

Their heartbeats returned to normal.

His breathing gradually became heavy.

After the clouds and rain over Wushan.

The next morning.

Yin Jiahan prepared breakfast for Mu Tiantian and then went to court.

When Mu Tiantian woke up again, she didn't know what time it was.

Mu Tiantian felt her back and legs ache as soon as she moved, and complained, "This is really reckless."

But she was exhausted.

After finishing breakfast, Mu Tiantian felt increasingly bored and shouted "Qitong" in her mind.

System: [Seven Seven's message: I...]

All I did was leave comments.

Just as she was feeling bored, the stone door suddenly opened.

But the person who came was not Ingahan, but...

"Jing Jue?"
