Chapter 354 Is This Girl Crazy?
Lu Bafang said, "I know, it's the birth date."
Su Nuan was full of questions. What does this have to do with birth date?
Lu Bayue nodded, "Yes, my birth date and time were determined when I was born. It seems that jade pendants are given for special birthdays."
Wu Long said, "Now I understand. Those with noble birth dates will be given jade pendants, and they will become members of the royal family in the future."
"Those born on a weak birth date will not be given a jade pendant and will remain in the Lu family as slaves."
Su Nuan understood the meaning as soon as she heard the word "ox and horse", but what role did the Lu family play in the West Sea Kingdom?
Ling Cang asked, "The Lu family is the Dark Emperor of the West Sea Kingdom?"
Lu Bayue shook her head. "I don't know. I don't want this jade pendant."
"I saw women with this jade pendant enter the palace. Some became maids, some became concubines, and all lost their freedom."
"If I break the jade pendant, I can stay in the Lu family, but I don't want to be married off casually by the Lu family."
"That's why I wanted to marry someone else, but unfortunately no one has the courage to marry me."
Su Nuan was silent for a moment and said, "Then you guys just run away."
"Go to a place where no one knows me and live a life with a different name."
Lu Bayue shook his head, his eyes filled with disappointment as he said, "We have Gu on us, and they can find it. Unless we are truly dead, even faking our death won't work."
Su Nuan now perked up. She stood up and walked to Lu Bayue, holding her wrist to check.
After a while, Su Nuan said, "I can expel the poisonous insect from your body, but you have to give me some blood so I can cultivate another one."
"After three years, the poison in your body will die, and your family will know of your death."
Lu Bayue happily rolled up his sleeves and said, "Tell me, how much do you want? If you can't afford it, I'll cut off one of your hands for you."
Su Nuan was stunned. Was this girl crazy? She even gave up her arm.
"No, no, wait for me."
She ran out, returned to the house, entered the space spirit, found an unopened bottle and took it out.
This bottle is sterile and has an automatic sterilization function, so there is no need to worry about the red blood cells losing their activity when used to store blood.
If you use this kind of blood to cultivate the poisonous insects, you don't need to keep the person around.
Su Nuan returned to the restaurant with the bottle, "Half a bottle is enough."
Without saying a word, Lu Bayue took out a dagger from his boots and tried to cut his wrists, but Su Nuan quickly stopped him.
This silly girl is really impressive.
Su Nuan took out a scalpel from her backpack, wiped it with disinfectant and then started bleeding.
The bottle was half full, about the size of a tea bowl.
Su Nuan took out a blood-tonifying pill and gave it to her. "Take one pill a day for a month and I guarantee you won't have anemia for the rest of your life."
Lu Bayue immediately grabbed the medicine bottle in his hand, "Hehehe...I made a profit."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "Profit?"
Lu Bafang nodded, "The cold medicine pills my sister gave me can be sold for three hundred taels each."
Su Nuan, "..." What a profiteer! He sold medicine worth three hundred taels.
Li Fengxing shook his head, "Tsk tsk, I only sold it for 200 taels, and you can sell it for 300 taels, you are really formidable."
Su Nuan waved her hand, "Go away, now is not the time to talk about how you cheated people. In the future, talk about how much you cheated people in private, don't let us know."
"Otherwise, we would feel like we'd be ripped off by you for a hundred million just by saying a word to you."
Li Fengxing laughed stiflingly and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll make a fortune in silence."
Su Nuan didn't care what he said. He got a share of the profits.
Lu Bayue looked at the wound, which had healed into a line. "Huh? So fast, sister, give me some more."
Su Nuan simply took out a box of medicine and said, "Here."
Li Fengxing immediately slammed the table and said, "One thousand taels!"
Lu Bayue rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't want to bother with you."
Seeing that the topic had gone off track, Ling Cang asked, "What is the legend of the West Sea Kingdom?"
"I know a little bit of folk rumor, I don't know if it's one."
Lu Bafang said, "The legend in the West Sea Kingdom is that the royal family always gives birth to twins, so one of them must be killed."
"But sometimes the living one is not very wise, and they will regret it, thinking that if the one they killed was still alive, it would surely be better."
"After the twins were born, they were placed in two different places and raised with equal treatment."
"Each of the two children will live in the palace for one day, and live with their mother for one day."
"But...if one of them becomes emperor, the other will be killed."
Su Nuan asked in surprise: "But the other one was also innocent, so they killed him like that?"
Lu Bafang nodded, "Yes, because the twins look alike, and they're afraid of the risk of usurping the throne."
Wu Long said disdainfully, "Even twins wouldn't be exactly alike. You can tell them apart by careful observation. But how did the executioner know who was who when they were together? Wasn't he afraid of killing the wrong person?"
Lu Bafang's expression turned strange. "The only one who can tell them apart is their mother. So the one who chooses people and the one who kills them... are both their mothers."
Su Nuan opened her mouth in surprise. This was too...
She asked doubtfully, "But can she bear it? Those are her children."
No one answered this question because they all felt that there was no true love among the royal family, even between mother and child.
Lu Bayue sighed and said, "Actually, she wouldn't want to do it. After all, they are her children."
Su Nuan sneered, "Aren't you afraid that the mother will control everything about the child and train the child to be a puppet?"
"By then, the imperial power will fall into the hands of his mother, and the emperor will be just a puppet."
Lu Bayue and Lu Bafang looked at each other, then looked at Su Nuan.
Su Nuan felt uneasy when being stared at by the two men, "What are you doing?"
Lu Bafang said: "I think what you said is possible."
"Otherwise, I still don't believe any mother would kill her child."
Ling Yun was also among the onlookers. He said, "I've heard of this kind of thing. I thought it was just a legend. I didn't expect that the West Sea Country still follows this custom."
"So what about your current emperor? Is he a fool or a wise one?"
Everyone looked at Ling Yun. This kid's words really deserved a beating.
Fortunately, Lu Bafang didn't care and said, "His talent is average, and he made several mistakes..."
"Eh? Now that you mention it, I remember that he always did something wrong when the Queen Mother was ill."
"Could it be that because the Queen Mother was ill, no one gave him advice, so he made a mistake?"
Ling Yun nodded, "Very likely."
Ling Cang pondered for a moment and asked, "Including the last war?"
Su Nuan remembered that Ling Cang was injured after returning from the battlefield. Could it be that they were fighting against the West Sea Kingdom?
But the West Sea Kingdom was the loser in the end...
An idea flashed through her mind, and she looked at Ling Cang and said, "Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence that you went to the border to fight and got injured when you returned?"
"Could it be that the West Sea Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom have already had a deal?"
Everyone's faces darkened. If what Su Nuan said was true, then this incident would cause turmoil in the world.
