Chapter 225 His Great Fortune is in the World
Yun Qingqing pointed at his arm and said:
"Look at the inside of your wrist. Is there a red line extending upwards?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Ning immediately lifted up his sleeves to check, and sure enough, he saw a very thin red line on his left wrist, going all the way up and almost crossing the lines on the inside of his elbow.
He was startled:
"This is... You said I was poisoned by a Gu? What kind of Gu is it? Is there any way to cure it?"
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"It's easy to treat, but if you don't find out who put the poison in you, I'm afraid it will come back again."
"This...what should I do? Please tell me, Princess." Yan Ning's expression was a little heavy.
Yun Qingqing looked at the sky and said:
"It's a little late today. If you trust me, I'll go to your house early tomorrow morning."
Yan Ning felt a sharp pain in his heart again, but he suppressed it secretly, clasped his fists and saluted:
"The princess gave me this life, so I trust you. Thank you for your help."
Yun Qingqing thought for a moment, then took out another talisman and handed it to him:
"The Gu you were infected with is called Emotion Devouring, a Gu technique that is extremely difficult to detect but can cause endless harm."
"If the person who is poisoned has no feelings in his heart, the poison will have no effect. However, once the person who is poisoned develops love for someone other than the one who poisoned him, the poison will devour the love and feed it back to the one who poisoned him, causing the host to gradually fall in love with the one who poisoned him, until he becomes unable to extricate himself and obeys his every word."
"I can't get rid of the poison right now before I find the one who poisoned it, but this talisman can suppress it and prevent it from feeding on the one who poisoned it. Keep it with you for now and don't act rashly. I'll deal with it tomorrow."
Yan Ning took the talisman in a daze, his face turned pale, as if he was frightened.
"You don't have to worry too much," Yun Qingqing comforted him, "Although the appearance of this red line means that the poison has begun to devour your feelings for the person you love, the red line has not yet passed your elbow, which means that it has only just begun to take effect. There is still time for everything."
Yun Qingqing was thinking about giving acupuncture to Xiao Changheng, and after giving instructions, she turned around and prepared to leave.
Yan Ning suddenly called her from behind:
"princess……"
Yun Qingqing turned around: "Anything else?"
Yan Ning took a deep breath and clenched his fists secretly:
"This Gu swallowing...what are the symptoms when it attacks?"
"At first, you'll feel a sharp pain in your heart every time you think of the person you love, until you stop thinking about her. The pain gets more and more severe, and at its worst, it can feel like your heart is being torn out."
Yun Qingqing sighed and felt somewhat sympathetic towards the fate of the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards.
First, he was stabbed in the back by his confidant, and now he was poisoned with such a vicious poison without knowing it. He is so unlucky.
Thinking of this, she smiled at Yan Ning with relief:
"But don't worry, I will help you find the murderer tomorrow and completely solve this hidden danger."
"Thank you, Princess."
Yan Ning's voice was hoarse, and he lowered his eyes and nodded.
It was not until Yun Qingqing walked away that he suddenly looked in the direction where she disappeared with a pale face and raised his hand to cover his heart.
…
…
Nightfall.
In the dim secret room, the secret guard reported in a low voice:
"The assassination attempt was blocked by a strange flying sword. The owner of the sword had his face covered, but his figure and voice... seemed to be the Regent Princess."
After a moment of silence, a faint voice sounded:
"I didn't expect it to be successful. Have you dealt with all those people who did it?"
"Master, rest assured, no one is left alive."
"Okay, got it."
The person sitting on the chair waved his hand, and the secret guard left quietly.
The man held a scroll and pondered for a while, then suddenly snorted:
"She is really making more and more progress..."
"Yun Qingqing, please don't let me down!"
…
…
The next morning, Yun Qingqing walked out of the palace gate and saw Yan Ning waiting outside with a carriage ready.
He walked quickly forward, clasped his fists and bowed his head to greet her.
"Princess, please."
After letting Yun Qingqing get into the carriage, he sat in the coachman's seat himself and drove the carriage towards Yan Mansion.
Inside the palace, Xiao Changheng was soaking in the dark green liquid medicine, listening to the report from the southern expedition outside the screen.
Xiao Changheng's eyes were slightly cold, and he was not surprised.
After all, he had heard the detailed report from the secret guards about what happened on the street yesterday, and he had also asked her indirectly about it when he was giving her acupuncture last night.
Yun Qingqing did not hide anything, but Xiao Changheng was still unhappy.
"Has the person gone far away?" he asked calmly.
"yes."
"Understood. Everyone, go out. No one is allowed to disturb us without my order."
Xiao Changheng drove everyone out, picked up a jade token and stared at it for a long time.
He finally made up his mind, exerted strength in his hands, and crushed the jade token.
After waiting for half an incense stick of time, just when Xiao Changheng thought that the jade token was a trick, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in front of him.
Then a green light flashed, and the woman in red appeared with a light smile.
"You finally thought it through... Hey!" She stared at the man with long hair and rosy complexion soaking in the bathtub, with a meaningful look on her face.
"Does Qingqing know that you were so unrestrained while she was away?" Zhiluo sat down on the table opposite him, folded her arms and glanced at him, her long hair fluttering behind her, looking quite flamboyant.
Xiao Changheng had no expression on his face:
"go out!"
"Hey, you're the one who invited me here, and now you're the one who wants to drive me away with just one sentence. What? You don't want to ask me for help anymore?"
Zhiluo looked at him leisurely.
Others are afraid of this evil prince, but she is not. The more people like him, the more fun it is to tease them.
Xiao Changheng closed his eyes and pointed at the screen:
"You go over there."
"Tsk, boring~" Seeing that he was indifferent, Zhiluo shook her head in boredom and moved lightly to the soft couch outside the screen.
As expected, this man only has weaknesses in front of Qingqing.
"Tell me, you went through so much trouble and even contacted me without telling Qingqing, what's the matter?"
Zhiluo was not only curious, but also quite excited to watch the fun.
This man actually sent his men to her mountain temple to make a wish, and the money he spent on incense was almost as much as the temple's income in half a year.
As a result, Xu's wish was to let her come here to negotiate without telling Yun Qingqing.
Zhiluo agreed immediately and gave him the jade token, asking him to crush it when convenient and she would come over.
Since she made a wish to the mountain god, you can’t blame her for not telling Qingqing!
…
"What? You asked me how I can help you practice?" Zhiluo widened her eyes and looked at the blurry figure through the screen.
"If you can help me realize my wish, I am willing to expand the temple, build a golden statue for you, offer a hundred eternal lamps, and provide incense money all year round." The man said calmly.
Zhiluo's mouth twitched:
"The conditions are tempting enough, but didn't she tell you that you are not suitable for cultivation?"
"How do you know if you don't try?" Xiao Changheng said in a slightly cold voice without backing down.
Zhiluo was silent for a while, then sighed and said:
"Of course you can try, but the result won't make any difference. Not everyone in this world has such extraordinary talent as her."
"You should have seen during this period that all the evil demons and heretics who fought against her have been following this path since childhood. They have practiced for decades and taken countless shortcuts to achieve their goals, but in the end, they are still not as good as even one finger of hers."
"You want to practice cultivation just to avoid being left behind by her, but ask yourself, as an ordinary person like you, can you really catch up with her if you are just starting out now?"
"You will only look at her back for the rest of your life. When you are old and gray, she will still be young and beautiful. Perhaps she has already stood at a height that ordinary people cannot reach."
"Knowing all this, are you still so stubborn to go down this path?"
Xiao Changheng was silent for a long time. When he spoke again, his low voice was almost like talking to himself:
"...How do you practitioners judge a person's qualifications?"
Zhiluo spread her hands and said:
"My Lord Regent, let me ask you, have you been able to see ghosts since you were a child?"
"..." Xiao Changheng was silent.
"Do you ever feel a sudden chill on your back when you're walking down the street at night or when you enter a dark room that hasn't been occupied for a long time?"
“…”
"Look, your perception of things outside of human beings is so dull, even worse than that of ordinary people. In our opinion, this is ironclad evidence that you are incapable of cultivation."
Xiao Changheng: “…”
After Zhiluo mercilessly revealed the truth, he realized that what Yun Qingqing had said before was very tactful.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Zhiluo shook her head, sighed softly, and decided to do something good for Yun Qingqing.
"You don't have to be sad about this. Your talent lies elsewhere and is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"Your great fortune lies in the world and in the lives of the people. In fact, from a certain perspective, this is the same as Yun Qingqing's."
"If you really want to do good for her, then listening to her advice is the best option."
Xiao Changheng clenched his fists.
"You also think that my feelings are a burden to her?"
"Not really." Zhiluo was silent for a moment and spoke slowly.
"But if you are ruthless, you are extremely precious to her, more precious than any natural treasure in the world."
Xiao Changheng was stunned when he heard this:
"What did you say?"
