Chapter 52: Have you ever eaten pork or seen a pig run?

Gu Xun pushed her away!

Zhao Mingzhu sat back down and challenged him, "Sun thief, I'm afraid you're not Zhao Mingzhu. If you have the guts, kill me now!"

What's wrong with Gu Qingheng's people? Why do they have to wait until her life is in danger before taking action?

Zhao Mingzhu pondered deeply, wondering if Gu Qingheng had deliberately sent her here in order to take her life?

It’s not impossible. Zhao Mingzhu began to think divergently.

Gu Xun's face turned ashen. He drew his sword in anger and was about to kill Zhao Mingzhu.

Zhao Mingzhu lay down directly. At the critical moment, an arrow came whistling and knocked the sword out of Gu Xun's hand.

"Who is it?!" Gu Xun looked over when he heard the voice, his pupils shrank greatly, it was Gu Qingheng!

At the same time, secret guards jumped around the courtyard, and the two teams instantly became entangled.

Gu Qingheng's white robe with golden sleeves fluttered in the wind. He looked at Gu Xun with a half-smile and aimed his arrow at him:

"My third brother just returned to the capital, and he's already so reckless."

When Gu Xun turned around, Zhao Mingzhu's face was full of relaxation. It was obvious that she had expected this. He wanted to eat the other party alive to vent his anger!

The arrows came whistling again, and Gu Xun's secret guards protected him and dodged him, and finally found a gap to take him away.

Just as Gu Xun turned around and wanted to say something to Zhao Mingzhu, three arrows came flying through the air again!

…

Zhao Mingzhu sat in her seat and watched the people from the East Palace clean up the battlefield. In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with corpses.

Human life is as worthless as grass.

She never realized at that moment that the vortex she was in could take her life at any time.

For the first time, Zhao Mingzhu felt like escaping.

Gu Qingheng came in front of her, looked deep into her eyes, and caught a hint of fear.

"I was not thoughtful enough."

Zhao Mingzhu must have been frightened. Gu Qingheng frowned slightly, because she was a woman after all.

Zhao Mingzhu shook his head after hearing this: "Your Highness, why don't you kill him?"

She had come to him on her own initiative. Didn't Gu Qingheng just want to get rid of her? But his arrows were shot too late.

Otherwise, Gu Xun might not be able to dodge the arrow.

Gu Qingheng walked forward, pulled her up, and led her out of the courtyard:

"You have poison in you. He can't die."

This was originally the plan, but after Gu Qingheng knew that Gu Xun had poisoned her, she decided not to kill him.

Zhao Mingzhu quickly calmed down and took a candy and put it in her mouth:

"Then capture him alive and lock him up in the East Palace dungeon, leaving him to suffer neither death nor life, hahahahahaha."

When Zhao Mingzhu let out a villainous laugh, Gu Qingheng knew that she was temporarily fine.

"How do you know there is a dungeon under the East Palace?"

Sweet things make people happy. Zhao Mingzhu shook her head:

"It's written in the storybook that all of you bigwigs have dungeons."

Gu Qingheng thought of the titles of those books and said helplessly, "Read less. Many of them are exaggerated and cannot be fully trusted."

"Ah, there's no dungeon under the East Palace?"

Gu Qingheng's expression remained unchanged: "No."

Yes, it contains all the punishments in the world, but he was afraid that Zhao Mingzhu would become interested and insist on going to take a look.

Now she is scared just by seeing a few corpses. Seeing those bloody torture instruments and body parts on the ground will only make her more scared.

Zhao Mingzhu had been keeping the matter under wraps, so she didn't ask any further questions. She got into the carriage and fell asleep.

In the East Palace, Bo Ling had already received the order, and he met Gu Yu.

"I have met Princess Zhaohua."

Gu Yu looked at him. She had met him several times before. She nodded:

"Zhao Mingzhu is in the East Palace?"

Bo Ling looked at her and smiled slightly: "The Crown Princess and His Highness should be on their way back."

When Gu Yu heard that Zhao Mingzhu was fine, she nodded and said, "In that case, I'll leave first."

Bo Ling asked, "Princess, won't you wait for His Highness to come back?"

“No need.”

"This brother and sister..." Bo Ling pursed his lips. So many years have passed, and they are still like this.

When the rebels imprisoned His Highness, the person who sent him cheese every day was seven-year-old Gu Yu, but she had no idea that the bowl contained the flesh and blood of her mother.

Later, when Gu Yu found out, grief and fear followed him like a shadow, and the two siblings gradually became estranged.

After Zhao Mingzhu woke up, Gu Qingheng took her to see Bo Ling. Zhao Mingzhu hesitated:

"Just take the medicine, there's no need to see a doctor."

Gu Qingheng held her wrist and squeezed it, then let go naturally:

"Crown Princess, you cannot hide your illness and avoid medical treatment."

Zhao Mingzhu was thinking about something and pinched her wrist reflexively. She suddenly remembered where the strange feeling came from.

It was because of Gu Qingheng’s close proximity and contact.

!!!

Zhao Mingzhu blinked her eyes. No way?

Gu Qingheng, who was walking in front, saw that she didn't keep up and said temptingly:

"After the Crown Princess leaves, I can make a request of you."

“Haha, haha….” Help.

Zhao Mingzhu held her forehead to cover up her mistake. She must have been affected by the Gu, which was why she had this illusion.

Don't be too self-indulgent, they are just doing it casually.

Zhao Mingzhu followed him, looking at his back absentmindedly. The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was an illusion. She shook her head and decided to put this aside for later.

Bo Ling was sitting in front of the medicine furnace when he saw Gu Qingheng and Zhao Mingzhu coming. Now that he showed his true appearance, Zhao Mingzhu would not recognize him.

He said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please extend your wrist."

Zhao Mingzhu placed his wrist on the small pillow after hearing this. Bo Ling's pulse diagnosis took an unusually long time. After he withdrew his hand, he said seriously:

"There is indeed a poison in the Queen's body, called Three Months Withering. If anyone who takes it doesn't find an antidote within a month, they will suffer pain for seven days before it subsides."

"How to solve it?" Gu Qingheng asked.

"This poison is primarily composed of poisons from the swamp, along with other ingredients like Heartbreak Grass, Seven-Li Thunder, and Toad Scorpion Heart. Your Highness, please give me three months, and I'll be able to create an antidote."

Having said this, Bo Ling hesitated a little, and continued:

"Normally, it wouldn't take so long to prepare the antidote. But with this kind of poison, I'm afraid human blood might be involved, so the antidote would naturally require some."

Just like the parasite in Zhao Mingzhu's body, it needs Gu Qingheng's blood.

Since Gu Xun poisoned the person, the blood was naturally his.

Zhao Mingzhu slammed the table after hearing this. "Damn it! I doubt that beast Gu Xun ever intended to give me the antidote! He even promised me the throne of Queen, but he just wanted to kick me out once he got the throne. I'll just die after he's used me."

After she finished speaking, she felt that it was inappropriate, and she said to Gu Qingheng in a conditioned flattering manner:

"Fortunately, I discovered it in time, Your Highness, and stopped right there and then! From now on, Your Highness, I will follow your lead!"

Bo Ling didn't dare to look up.

Gu Qingheng's expression remained calm, as if he hadn't heard those remarks that could be used to insult him.

"I will seek the blood of my heart."

Zhao Mingzhu thought about it and finally asked the question in her heart:

"You said I would feel excruciating pain for seven days, but why don't I feel anything at all? Except for a bit of lust."

Realizing that the word "lustful" was a bit vulgar, Zhao Mingzhu tactfully changed her words:

“Some like to admire and be near beautiful things.”

Bo Ling said, "Because there's a Gu in your Majesty's body, the two things might suppress each other, and thus have no effect."

Bo Ling continued to smile and said, "By the way, Princess Zhaohua is here to look for the Queen. If you go now, you might run into her."

Zhao Mingzhu stood up after hearing this: "Really? I'll go first then."
