"Jinse!"
Han Lie, who had been tied up and silent, screamed in panic when he saw his daughter was hit by a hidden weapon.
"I've advised you long ago not to believe Liang Chaozong's sweet talk and to wake up as soon as possible..."
"If you had been willing to expose Liang Chaozong earlier, things wouldn't have turned out like this..." Han Lie looked at his daughter with tears in his eyes.
Jinhu Yinbao hurriedly helped Yao Jinse up. She covered her chest in pain and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Jin Hu gathered his strength, stretched out his palm and placed it on her back, transferring his internal energy into Yao Jinse's body.
Yao Jinse's weak breathing immediately became much more stable. She covered her chest, gritted her teeth, glanced at Liang Chaozong, and said with all her might, "He used acupuncture to change his appearance. By pricking the Qingming and Dinghui acupoints, his appearance can be restored to its original state."
At this point, Yao Jinse murmured, "Liang Chaozong, why is it all a scam? I regret it so much..."
After saying this, he lost his breath, but his eyes were still open, staring at Liang Chaozong fiercely.
Seeing this, Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Ah, what a foolish woman obsessed with love! She could have used modern knowledge to flourish in this imaginary world, but she ended up losing her life because of love."
[Whatever, whatever, if I die in this world, maybe I can return to the modern world.]
At this point, the Second Prince no longer cared about anything else and shouted towards the rockery, "Queen Dowager, prick his Qingming and Dinghui acupoints with a needle, and he will regain his appearance!"
After hearing this, Liang Chaozong's whole body froze, and he immediately made a move to run away.
The witch swept her leg over and tripped Liang Chaozong.
Zhu Ling took the opportunity to pull out her hairpin, held Liang Chaozong down with one hand, and quickly stabbed the hairpin into two of his acupoints with the other hand.
In a hurry, Zhu Ling used too much strength and the hairpin pierced deeply into Liang Chaozong's flesh.
Liang Chaozong let out a scream, and when he stood up staggeringly, his face had completely changed. It was exactly Liang Chaozong's face.
The Second Prince heaved a sigh of relief, and Yue Haoyun and his companions marveled at the thought.
Zhu Ling originally looked at Liang Chaozong with gentle and affectionate eyes, but now, she was like a poisonous snake, with her eyes full of resentment.
"Well, Mr. Liang, you are really Liang Chaozong!"
"What do you want to do by deceiving me?"
The Second Prince laughed heartily, "Queen Dowager, Liang Chaozong did this to use you to help him complete his great cause of restoring his country!"
"Do you really think that you and he are in love?"
Zhu Ling roared like a wild beast, "Liang Chaozong, no man in this world can deceive me!"
The witch also echoed, "I am a Chi tribe woman, how can you dirty men deceive me!"
As he spoke, Zhu Ling stood up straight, half-closed his eyes, and chanted a spell with his fingers.
Xia Miaoyuan's heart trembled. [What? The witch calls herself a woman from the Chi tribe. This bamboo spirit seems to be controlling the Gu insect!]
Could it be that the word "Chi" carved by the late Dai Viet Emperor on his bed meant that he had discovered that the bamboo spirit was a member of the Chi tribe?
The second prince was also shocked when he heard his sister's thoughts.
At the same time, Yue Haoyun clearly heard the word "Chibu" said by the witch.
These days, he was thinking about the Chi tribe every day and was very sensitive to the word "Chi tribe".
As smart as he was, he immediately thought of the meaning of the word "Chi" carved by the previous emperor.
At this time, only terrifying howling sounds were heard coming from the rockery.
Everyone frowned and looked over to see Liang Chaozong howling in agony towards the sky, seemingly in great pain.
Looking at Zhu Ling again, she was still counting her fingers and chanting incantations.
"What's going on?"
"What is Zhu doing?"
"Could it be witchcraft?"
"Zhu is not a witch, but she knows witchcraft?!"
Suddenly, the crowd started talking.
Although Gu magic existed in Dai Viet, it was always considered an evil entity. Even when the imperial court took over the Gu-making institutions of the witches, it did not change the Dai Viet people's view of Gu magic.
In Dai Viet, only witches learn to control poisonous insects, and decent women will not learn this technique.
Therefore, women who can control Gu are regarded as evil spirits, and are both scary and despised.
Everyone was very surprised to see with their own eyes that the bamboo spirit could actually control the poisonous insect.
Coupled with what the witch had just said, "I am a woman from the Chi tribe", everyone connected the two together and had a bad guess in their hearts.
At this time, Liang Chaozong's screams became more severe. His facial features were distorted and weird lumps appeared on his face, scalp, and neck.
The bulge was still moving rapidly, as if there were several insects crawling back and forth under his skin.
This scene looks extremely strange and terrifying.
Zhu Ling was chanting a spell, but suddenly stopped and opened his eyes abruptly.
With a "puff" sound, dozens of poisonous insects rushed out from the holes on Liang Chaozong's scalp and face like cannonballs.
The poisonous insects flew out and floated in the air, then their bodies stopped and fell into the lake in a mess, as if they were dead.
Everyone felt their scalps tingling after watching this scene.
Looking at Liang Chaozong on the rockery, he had collapsed on the rocks. His head looked horrible, with blood holes all over his face, scalp, and neck.
Liang Chaozong fearfully tried to touch his face, only to find it covered in pus and blood. He immediately screamed out in disbelief, "My face! Ah..."
After shouting frantically, he pointed at Zhu Ling and said in a trembling voice, "You, actually put a Gu on me?!"
Zhu Ling looked down at him condescendingly and said in a cold voice, "Ever since Han Lie revealed to me that you were Liang Chaozong's disguise, I have secretly planted the Beauty-Eating Gu in you."
"You vicious woman, you are so cruel!" Liang Chaozong cursed.
Zhu Ling curled the corners of her lips and said disdainfully, "Liang Chaozong, I've been very kind to you. If I never chant the spell to activate these beauty-eating insects, they will quietly grow inside you."
"As they grow, not only will your body not feel any discomfort, but your appearance will also remain forever, without aging."
"So, you brought this upon yourself. I will never allow any man to deceive me."
Xia Miaoyuan covered his eyes and peeked at Zhu Ling through his fingers. He couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Oh, it seems I blamed Zhu Ling wrongly."
【I'm not in love. 】
At this time, Zhu Ling's voice sounded again, "Xia Chengnian, I will return Liang Chaozong to you now!"
As she spoke, she winked at Mei'er, who suddenly exerted force and kicked Liang Chaozong hard.
Liang Chaozong, with blood all over his face and head, was kicked off the rockery in an instant. With a "bang", Liang Chaozong fell into the lake.
The crowd suddenly became chaotic.
Someone immediately jumped into the lake to rescue Liang Chaozong.
At this chaotic moment, the witch grabbed Zhu Ling, Mei'er grabbed the little emperor, and they flew towards the palace wall.
"Oh no! They are trying to run away! Stop them quickly!" Yue Haoyun shouted!
