If the wolves were led here by someone, then the most likely suspect would be this strange woman whom they had only met twice - Ava!
Qin Ye looked at her. "I didn't think much of it when we strayed into the miasma forest before, but now we have encountered a pack of wolves. You have been leading the way all along, and we have been following your instructions."
When Ava heard this, she immediately became unhappy:
"Yes, it was indeed me who led the way, but this Cangqiong Mountain is so huge that even our ancestors couldn't comprehend it, let alone a little girl like me?"
"Isn't it normal to encounter some danger in the mountains and forests?"
"It is normal to encounter danger, but what is abnormal is that these dangers are man-made!"
Qin Ye emphasized the word "man-made" coldly, turned his palm up, and grabbed a bunch of purple grass with roots separated.
"You put this bunch of grass there, didn't you?"
When Ava saw this, her pupils shrank sharply...
"The juice of the Bauhinia grass is fishy. When you crush it, it will emit the scent of blood, and it is this that attracts the wolves." Qin Ye threw the bunch of fishy-smelling grass at her feet.
"I……"
Ava took a step back guiltily, "I...I..."
She had never expected that Qin Ye would be so knowledgeable and powerful. She was caught off guard and was so panicked that she didn't know what to do.
"Is it really you?" Zhang Fei's eyes turned cold, with majesty and hostility bursting out between his brows, "Miss Awa, we have no grudges against you, why are you doing this!"
"I……"
"How could you do this!" Yue Er also angrily accused, "We invited you to lead the way in the mountains, and gave you and your villagers so much silver and gifts. We were extremely sincere, but you did something shady!"
"I...I didn't..."
Ava panicked.
These people have knives and swords. If she admits it, won’t they kill her directly?
She can't admit it!
Ava's mind raced, and she came up with an idea. She rushed to Qin Ye and said, "Madam, I did plant the redbud grass, but I did it for you!"
Qin Ye frowned, "For me?"
"Because you have a Gu in your body!"
"What did you say?" This time, Qin Ye was stunned.
Ava explained, "From the moment I saw you, I noticed that you smelled wrong, but Gu is a thing... My father said that Gu is witchcraft, and most people are terrified and disgusted by it, so he never let me mention these things easily."
"But in our village, we not only know how to farm, weave and hunt, we also know a lot of folk remedies, including Gu."
"The Gu in your body is a special kind of Gu. It won't harm your body, but it can control your mind without you noticing."
For example, if you don't want to think about something, but as long as the thought comes to your mind, this poison will deepen the thought and guide you to continue thinking deeply, and keep thinking...
Qin Ye listened to it roughly and was shocked.
There is a Gu in her body, and she doesn't even know it?
No wonder she always felt unhappy and depressed some time ago, and always said some words against her will when she was out of control, hurting Zong Zhengchen.
Some time ago, the person she had been thinking about was... King Li.
Could it be...
No!
She doesn't believe it!
Wu Nu was already dead. Gu magic only existed in remote Miao areas far from the imperial capital. How could it be in the hands of Prince Li? If Prince Li wanted to harm her, why did he save her again and again?
If Prince Li wanted to harm her, how could he open his heart to her and cry bitterly?
