Chapter 581 This prince must leave alive!
Jin Hua stared at him coldly: "Stop talking nonsense."
"The last time the curse was lifted, it failed. So if you had killed A'duo, you would have been dead long ago. How could you still be alive and kicking now?"
"If you want complete freedom and ease, please allow me to truly remove the poison from you."
Zongzheng Wuheng trembled with rage: "You actually lied to me... you lied to me!"
"I shouldn't have trusted you Miao people, especially those brought by Li Qingluo!"
"Haven't I done enough for you these days?"
"Attending to their every need, taking care of them with utmost devotion."
"Wherever you wish to go, I will do as you wish. What have I done to wrong you?"
"In the end, you two are just as heartless as her, both wanting to take my, Zongzheng Wuheng's, life!"
"Good, good, really good!"
"Was all of this, from beginning to end, another scheme orchestrated by that wicked woman Li Qingluo?"
"Is this why you've brought me to this state?"
"You still want the curse removed?"
"Keep dreaming!"
"If we're going to die, we'll die together!"
Zongzheng Wuheng's haggard face was contorted with rage.
There's no need to pretend anymore.
Anyway, he has been abandoned and betrayed by everyone, and he may never be able to leave this mountain again!
Jinhua shook her head.
Why is Your Highness so persistent?
"If you want to die in agony, you really don't need to break this curse."
"But isn't it unfair to place all the blame on others, given your own behavior?"
"I heard that back in Daliang, you were the one who framed Luo'er, not only trying to have someone else take her place in status and position, but also changing her face."
"Make her your pawn, make her lose everything she worked so hard to win."
"When Luo'er later took revenge, wasn't that the end you deserved?"
"And what kind of good person are you?"
"I also heard that you once wanted to use the poison that Zuliya concocted to turn everyone in Jinling into bloodthirsty monsters. If that poor butterfly hadn't committed suicide to end everything, Jinling would have long been a living hell."
"And Luo'er and the others also come from foreign lands, and they have witches like me by their side, so why have they never thought of harming the people of Great Chu?"
"Not only that, Luo'er opened the first women's restaurant in the Great Chu. Although you men won't admit it, it has indeed benefited the women of our Great Chu."
"Even if they plotted against this tyrant, they only led people outside the city, without implicating innocent civilians."
And what about you?
"This is the difference between you and the other two. Who is human and who is a ghost? Who in this world can't see that?"
"It was already an act of kindness from His Highness Prince Su and Luo'er to spare your life back then, and it was also an opportunity for them to give you a chance to start over."
"They did set a trap for you this time, but if you hadn't been so malicious as to try to use the Crown Prince to eliminate them, and had simply stayed put, how could you have fallen into this trap on your own?"
"You've ruined yourself."
"You can't blame anyone else!"
Zongzheng Wuheng roared, "Enough! Shut up!"
"Stop making sarcastic remarks."
"ah--"
Suddenly, he let out a scream.
Then she suddenly looked up, her eyes red, and glared fiercely at A'duo on the rock.
Aduo was clutching her chest, screaming in agony.
Zongzheng Wuheng almost fainted from the pain.
Soon, his whole body began to convulse, completely powerless.
"What... happened to her?!"
Jin Hua also came to A Duo's side with heartache and held his hand tightly.
"Sixth Prince, do you really think that the Symbiotic Gu is just an ordinary Gu poison?"
"Otherwise, this silly child wouldn't have rushed ahead of me to suffer this hardship in my place."
"So, how can the method to remove the curse simply be achieved by you drinking some medicine?"
"The mother and child Gu are still inside your bodies. A'duo has now officially begun the ritual to remove the Gu."
"Once you start, you can't stop."
"The midday sun is at its most scorching now. If this can be achieved, she will be free from this suffering."
"If it doesn't work out, then I'll have no choice but to go with Your Highness."
Zongzheng Wuheng sneered: "Then, while you're removing the curse from me, Li Qingluo will be able to come and kill me?"
Jin Hua: "If the curse isn't removed, she can't kill you?"
Zongzheng Wuheng felt the cone on his buttocks and realized that Li Qingluo's arrow had deliberately missed!
She could have simply shot herself through with an arrow.
With her archery skills, it's not impossible for her.
Zongzheng Wuheng closed his eyes in despair.
He finally confirmed that the masked woman who assassinated Princess Qinyu in the Great Liang Dynasty was also Li Qingluo.
My life has been unlucky ever since I met her at Chunyanlou!
If only I had known, I should have killed her at Chunyanlou first!
Blood suddenly trickled from the corner of his mouth.
The pain was unbearable.
"Alright!"
"Quickly, what exactly do we need to do? Get started now."
"I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."
"If you try anything again this time... ha, don't blame me for really taking her to hell."
He glared fiercely at Jinhua a few times.
Then he had his guards carry him on their backs.
The guards hurriedly carried Zongzheng Wuheng to the side of the large rock.
Jin Hua instructed the guards to place Zongzheng Wuheng next to A Duo.
But Zongzheng Wuheng still had an arrow in his buttocks, so he could only lie on the rock.
Ado was in so much pain that she had already lost her mind.
Zongzheng Wuheng turned his head to look at her, his eyes becoming somewhat complicated.
The guards were on edge the whole time. Zongzheng Wuheng whispered, "A bunch of useless idiots! What are you afraid of?"
"Li Qingluo must know that I am removing the curse from Aduo, so she will not appear to disturb this matter now."
However, this also gave Zongzheng Wuheng one last chance to escape.
He was more worried that if he refused, Li Qingluo would appear immediately.
So, in the end, they compromised.
That's good, it means I'll have one less layer of pain and threat from now on.
Otherwise, I really am doomed to die no matter what!
Only by seizing this opportunity might we be able to escape alive.
After a while, Zongzheng Wuheng felt his whole body burning hot.
The stone beneath him seemed to be on fire, roasting his skin and flesh until it felt almost cooked.
Then he raised his hand, pulled up his sleeve, and felt no discomfort on the skin that touched the stone.
That's really strange!
Now, in addition to heart-wrenching pain and a splitting headache, he is also experiencing severe abdominal cramps.
It's like...like the legendary pain a woman experiences during childbirth!
However, after a long time, Jin Hua only took a strand of his hair.
"Your Highness may leave now."
Zongzheng Wuheng was surprised: "So fast? It's done already?"
"I don't need to lie here with her anymore?"
Jin Hua: "After A Duo removes the Gu, Your Highness's Gu will naturally die within Your Highness's body. Your Highness should hurry and escape for your life."
"Otherwise, there really won't be a chance."
After saying that, Jinhua stopped looking at him.
He then burned Zongzheng Wuheng and Aduo's hair, turning it into ashes, and put it into a bowl of water, which he then gave to Aduo to drink.
"Drink it, you'll feel better right away."
Ado kept her eyes tightly closed, her whole body trembling.
Zongzheng Wuheng was no different from her.
All the strength in my body seemed to have been drained away; I could hardly even get up, let alone escape.
The guard beside him urged anxiously in a low voice, "Your Highness, we need to hurry."
"Moreover, it would be best to put the Emperor down. Let's escape quickly!"
The sounds behind were getting closer and closer.
Clearly, someone is coming up this mountain.
Zongzheng Wuheng gritted his teeth: "Let's go!"
However, he still refused to agree to let go of the Chu Emperor.
That was his last trump card.
No matter how much pain the guards were in, they could only continue to endure it.
One continued to carry the Chu Emperor, while the other helped Zongzheng Wuheng onto another person's back.
Just as they stood up, Ado let out another piercing scream.
Zongzheng Wuheng lowered his head, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.
If Ado is kidnapped again... what's the point of running away?
The emperor and the others probably didn't care that much.
But this A'duo and her apprentice must be the people Li Qingluo cares about the most!
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Zongzheng Wuheng immediately lowered his head and whispered a few words to the guard.
The three guards exchanged glances. The one carrying the Chu Emperor quickly threw him under a tree, and then he and the remaining guard drew their swords.
Jinhua is taking care of Aduo, who is covered in sweat.
Hearing the sound of a sword being drawn, he turned to look at Zongzheng Wuheng.
Her eyes turned cold.
"Luo'er was right after all."
Zongzheng Wuheng: "What did she say?"
Jin Hua: "Your ruthlessness has always been within her expectations."
After saying that, Jinhua stood up and reached for her waist.
Zongzheng Wuheng immediately shouted, "Stop her from releasing the poisonous insects!"
The two guards drew their swords and charged forward.
Jin Hua sneered and quickly stepped back.
Just as she was about to quickly remove the bamboo tube and shake out the poisonous insects inside, the two guards suddenly sheathed their swords, turned around, and helped A'duo, who was lying on the rock, to her feet.
Zongzheng Wuheng laughed loudly: "I know you're a witch, how could I not be wary of you?"
"You'd better not move. Otherwise, even if she's cured of the curse, her throat will still be slit!"
"If we were poisoned to death, it wouldn't be so regrettable if she took our place."
Zongzheng Wuheng was confident in speaking like this because he could clearly feel that the pain in his body was getting lighter and lighter.
It seems that the exorcism was truly effective this time!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had that sudden inspiration to have the guards pretend to assassinate Jinhua, but in reality, the person they really wanted to capture was this A'duo.
"Anyway, her ritual to remove the curse has already been completed."
"If I kill her, it won't affect my own life, will it?"
Seeing the sword pressed against A'duo's neck, Jinhua dared not make any further moves.
She gritted her teeth and roared, "Shameless!"
“I clearly gave you the chance to leave, but you are still not satisfied.”
"And are you so sure that if Ado dies, your life won't be in danger?"
"Zongzheng Wuheng, A'duo hasn't truly expelled the Gu worms yet!"
Zongzheng Wuheng shrugged: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, she's already drunk your bowl of water, it's only a matter of time before she expels the Gu worms, right?"
"One father isn't enough, add A'duo too, can Li Qingluo still kill me?"
"Today, I, the prince, must leave alive!"
He tapped the guard on the shoulder and said, "Take her with us, let's leave!"
