Su Yujiao's eyes widened. Luckily, she had asked the question; otherwise, obtaining the Gu worm would have been useless.
Chen Yunniang is indeed cunning; she actually deceived Chu Zhongyuan.
It seems that what she calls love is nothing but exploitation and deception.
Su Yujiao turned around and asked, "Your Highness, do you think her words are credible?"
Are there any Gu worms that are afraid of water but not fire?
"As far as I know, most Gu are cultivated in Gu pools, and most of them are afraid of fire."
Since it's a pool, it must contain water, so why would it be afraid of water?
Nan Sheng replied, "That's mostly true, but there are indeed a small number that are refined in fire, so they are afraid of water but not fire."
Su Yujiao nodded: "Does Your Highness know where the Laifu Pawnshop she just mentioned is?"
"I've heard of it; it's the largest pawnshop in the Southern Frontier Kingdom, a century-old establishment."
"It shouldn't be hard to find."
"That's good."
While the two were talking, neither of them noticed that Chen Yunniang's eyelids twitched slightly, as if she had woken up.
"How should she handle it?" the Crown Prince asked, pointing at Chen Yunniang.
Su Yujiao frowned. Of course, she couldn't kill him; she could only keep him locked up for now.
"Let's keep her locked up for now."
"Develop an antidote as soon as possible; I don't want to be controlled by her any longer."
"I wouldn't be satisfied even if she died ten thousand times."
"If it weren't for the harmful Gu she created, millions of people wouldn't have died."
"Her crimes are heinous; she deserves to be executed by slow slicing or torn apart by five horses, and even that wouldn't be enough to satisfy our hatred."
The Crown Prince nodded: "Holy Maiden, rest assured, the antidote is under development and we believe we will have results soon."
"That's good."
"Guards, take him away."
Two guards lifted Chen Yunniang onto a board, preparing to carry her away.
Two guards hurriedly carried away the wooden plank. Taking advantage of their inattention, Chen Yunniang pulled out one of their large knives and stabbed it into her stomach, piercing through her body.
Seeing the two men's terrified and bewildered expressions, Chen Yunniang smiled eerily, even enduring the excruciating pain as she pulled out her large knife, preparing to stab them again.
At this moment, the two men realized what was happening and kicked the long knife out of her hand.
Inside the Cold Palace, Su Yujiao suddenly clutched her stomach and collapsed to the ground. Blood gushed from the bloody hole in her stomach, so much so that it was impossible to cover it up.
Nan Sheng was shocked and hugged Su Yujiao tightly.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, the man's mind went blank.
Two guards scrambled into the cold palace, so frightened they could barely speak: "Your Highness... she... she committed suicide."
"Hahahaha...hahaha..."
"Su Yujiao, I will not give you the chance to torment me."
"You won't live to see the day the antidote is made."
"I lost, and you lost too."
"Hahaha, I'm going to die, and you'll take my place."
"You'll never beat me, never."
"You'll come to hell with me!"
"Hahaha……"
A maniacal, sinister laugh echoed from outside the Cold Palace gates.
Su Yujiao quickly took out hemostatic medicine and gauze to cover the wound, otherwise she would bleed to death within minutes.
The prince trembled with rage, his teeth clenched with hatred, wishing he could tear Chen Yunniang to pieces, but he was restrained by the Love Poison Gu.
He truly regretted giving the Love Poison to Chen Yunniang in the first place.
Can't we give something else in return?
"Holy Maiden... Holy Maiden..."
"What should we do now?"
The Southern Frontier Kingdom had finally found its true saintess after a century of searching, and now she was dead. He was unwilling to accept it.
Su Yujiao's voice grew increasingly indistinct. What could she do in this situation?
You can't operate on yourself!
Ha, I never thought I would end up like this.
Perhaps this is the result of her defying the natural order and going against the male and female protagonists.
The male and female protagonists died, and her life also came to an end.
As her consciousness faded, she said to Nan Sheng, "Tell Lu Ziqian for me...tell him about the child..."
"The child is his."
"Let him take good care of the two children."
"Jiaojiao!!"
While Su Yujiao was unconscious, she seemed to be hallucinating and saw Lu Ziqian rushing towards her from outside.
"Jiaojiao, wake up."
With trembling hands, Lu Ziqian put a string of red beads on her wrist and held her tightly in his arms.
"Taoist priest, please save her."
"Save her!" The man's lips trembled, his voice choked with sobs.
Only then did Nan Sheng notice that Lu Ziqian was followed by a Taoist priest with an otherworldly air.
Master Xuanqing stepped forward, holding a talisman and chanting incantations. Instantly, a talisman began to spin rapidly around the two of them, enveloping them in golden light.
When Su Yujiao woke up again, she was no longer in the Cold Palace, but in a palace in the style of southern Xinjiang.
The maidservant serving her saw her wake up and exclaimed in surprise, "Quickly go and inform the Crown Prince that the Holy Maiden has woken up."
"yes."
Su Yujiao's empty gaze gradually focused. She looked around at the furnishings and then at the palace maid's delighted expression.
He spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, "Where is this?"
"I'm not dead?"
"Replying to the Holy Maiden, this is the Holy Maiden's palace. You have been rescued, and it has been a month since you fell into a coma..."
Su Yujiao learned from the palace maid that she had not died, but had been in a coma for a month.
A lot happened in the past month. Chen Yunniang died on the day of the incident. After her death, her body was whipped and thrown into a mass grave, where it was eaten by wild dogs.
Nan Sheng found the male Gu, eliminated a million Gu people, and the crisis in the Great Ming Kingdom was resolved.
