Chapter 100 Your Face, My Insole
"Alright, Your Highness, go get busy. I'm a little tired from ascending to heaven several times in a row. I need to get some sleep."
Jiang Hanyu's eyes were so gentle that they could squeeze out water.
"Okay, I'll make tea for you when Yuyan wakes up."
Let me explain this in two ways.
Meanwhile, Shangguan Jue disguised himself and went to the street to find a little beggar to pass on the message to Jiang Huaijin and make an appointment with Jiang Huaijin.
Jiang Huaijin replied him with a note: Meet at the third private house behind Zhang’s Carpenter Shop in the west of the city at one o’clock in the morning.
At midnight, the third private house behind Zhangji Carpenter Shop in the west of the city.
In the room, Jiang Huaijin, Shangguan Jue and Shangguan Rao sat face to face.
"It must be a very important matter for the Crown Prince of Yuheng to come all the way here in person, so state your conditions directly."
Shangguan Jue went straight to the point.
"Prince Rui cannot be killed."
Jiang Huaijin looked at Shangguan Jue.
"I took the initiative to seek your cooperation just to kill King Rui!"
Shangguan Jue said.
"That's why I came here in person."
"My sister fell in love with Prince Rui at first sight and she wants to be with him forever, so he cannot be killed."
Jiang Huaijin clenched his fists.
"If King Rui doesn't die, I won't be able to sit on the throne peacefully in the future!"
Shangguan Jue told the story slowly and leisurely.
"When I received your first secret letter, I sent a secret letter to Ayi Na, a Gu-breeding expert in southern Xinjiang, asking her if she had any Gu insects that could make a man madly infatuated with a woman."
"She replied in a secret letter saying that she had a pair of Heart-Sharing Gu that she had raised for fifteen years and could do it. Because I saved her life, I exchanged them with her as a favor."
"The Tongxin Gu is a pair of male and female Gu insects. The female Gu is placed in a woman, and the male Gu is placed in a man. Once the Gu is placed, the man's soul is drained away, and his heart and eyes are filled with only the woman. He will forget his past love and sever ties with his family. All his affections will be drawn by the Gu insects and flow towards the female Gu host."
"Now this Concentric Gu is in my younger sister's hands. As long as I can put this public Gu on Prince Rui in the future, Prince Rui will obey my younger sister's orders. Then, my younger sister will take him back to Yuheng Kingdom and never let him set foot in Dafeng again for the rest of his life."
Hearing this, Jiang Huaijin couldn't help but speak.
"Witchcraft goes against the laws of nature. It's impossible for it to have only benefits and no backlash."
Shangguan Jue told the truth.
"You're absolutely right. Many sorcerers wouldn't invest their energy and effort in raising such a harmful and evil Gu."
"Originally, the witch Ayi Na was cultivating this Heart-Loving Gu, intending to give it to the man she loved but couldn't have. However, just as she was about to cultivate it, the man committed suicide with his beloved."
"After Ayi Na's lover died, she considered the Tongxin Gu a reminder of him and didn't kill them. Instead, she continued to feed them her blood every three months to nourish them."
"Since Ayi Na has been feeding the Tongxin Gu with her blood for fifteen years, the woman preparing to plant the mother Gu must first feed it with her heart blood every day for forty-nine days in order for it to be effective."
"Furthermore, once the Heart Gu is planted, the lives of the two people will be bound together. If either one dies, the other will surely die."
"So even if Prince Rui obeys my sister's orders, I will not allow him to lead his troops to attack Dafeng or to dance in front of you in the future, because if he dies, my sister will surely die too."
Jiang Huaijin was not satisfied with his proposal.
"I like to root out the evil. For me, I will only feel truly at ease when King Rui is dead."
Shangguan Jue pondered for a moment.
"How about this. After Prince Rui is poisoned, the Imperial Sister will order him to kill the Queen Mother and the Emperor of Dafeng. On the day of the assassination, you will secretly help him escape. This way, Prince Rui, accused of murdering his grandmother and his father, will never be able to ascend the throne."
Jiang Huaijin did not express his opinion, but looked at Shangguan Rao.
"You actually willingly used your own blood to feed the Gu worm for forty-nine days for Prince Rui? And you even tied your life to his without any regrets?"
Shangguan Rao's eyes were vicious.
"A man as stunningly handsome as Prince Rui is worth all my efforts. After I plant the Gu in Prince Rui, the first thing I will do is order him to kill that bitch Su Yuyan with his own hands!"
You took away King Rui, the god of war of my Dafeng, and you want to kill the only daughter of my Dafeng's ever-victorious general?
Are you waiting for the time when Su Lin can no longer bear the pain of losing his daughter and quits his job so that you, the Yuheng Kingdom, can directly send troops to attack Dafeng, right?
Oh, the abacus is really noisy!
Jiang Huaijin sneered in his heart, while also calculating quickly.
After a moment, Jiang Huaijin spoke.
"I tend to be cautious. Prince Rui is a skilled martial artist, the best fighter in Dafeng. I can't sit on the throne peacefully while he's still alive. I can spare his life, but before he leaves Dafeng, I want to personally cripple 80% of his strength."
Shangguan Jue didn't think twice.
"Okay, after he kills his father, you will personally destroy 80% of his power."
After being satisfied, Jiang Huaijin continued.
"You can put a curse on Prince Rui and take him out of Dafeng forever after he kills his father, but you cannot kill Su Yuyan."
Shangguan Rao shouted.
"Why!"
"Because I like her. If you won't let me kill your sweetheart, then don't kill mine either."
Shangguan Rao was puzzled.
"You, the crown prince of a country, actually like a bumpkin who grew up in the countryside!"
Jiang Huaijin's tone was unquestionable.
"Food and sex are human nature. Su Yuyan's stunning beauty has a fatal attraction. Although you are also stunningly beautiful, you are like a green leaf against a red flower in front of her."
"Su Lin had a daughter in his middle age and is a daughter slave. Before Su Yuyan was found, he was extremely fond of Su Yao, the fake daughter, let alone his biological daughter. Moreover, Su Lin has always felt guilty about the hardships Su Yuyan suffered while living abroad. If you kill Su Yuyan, Su Lin will definitely ask for orders to go to war and risk his life to attack your Yuheng Kingdom. If that's the case, then there's no need for us to sit down together and continue to discuss cooperation."
Shangguan Rao was angry again.
"Hmph! Same here! Compared to the godlike King Rui, you're nothing but green leaves against a red flower!"
Jiang Huaijin did not continue to argue with her.
How could Shangguan Jue, who had been observing every change in Jiang Huaijin's expression, not analyze the real reason why Jiang Huaijin did not let his sister kill Su Yuyan?
He thought for a while and said.
"Okay, then neither of us will kill the King and his wife, and we will each take what we need."
"After my sister uses her heart's blood to feed the Heart-to-Heart Gu for forty-nine days, I will ask you to invite Prince Rui out so that my sister can infect him with the Gu."
Jiang Huaijin said.
"Alright. Once the poisoned Prince Rui kills my grandmother and father, you will take him away from Dafeng forever. After I ascend the throne, I will help you eliminate dissidents."
"Now that we have reached an agreement, let's sign it now."
Shangguan Jue said.
"Okay. Happy working with you."
The next afternoon, Xiu'er knocked on the door.
"Miss, Shangguan Rao has come to ask you personally when you will compete with her in the remaining two items."
"Let her go back and wait for notification."
Xiu'er outside the door said again.
"Miss, there is one more thing. Zhao Qingtang's biological brother, Zhao Linyuan, is also at the gate of the mansion, shouting and asking to see you. He said he wants you to treat his illness."
Su Yuyan instantly became interested.
"I'm bored, so I'll go take a look."
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Zhao Linyuan surrounded them.
"Princess Rui, didn't you say last time that you could cure my illness? That's why I came to seek medical treatment today."
Thinking back to the last time they met, the fat man started accusing her angrily as soon as he opened his mouth. Su Yuyan looked at Zhao Linyuan jokingly.
"But I heard you tell Zhao Qingtang last time that you should appease me first, and when I heal you, you will ask your father to come to the emperor and severely denounce me."
Zhao Linyuan: “…”
A princess like her is so petty and vindictive.
"Princess Rui, can you please let me in to talk? It's embarrassing to talk about this in front of the house where so many people are coming and going."
Su Yuyan smiled, but it wasn't a smile.
"I can't. Because of your face, my insole."
