Chapter 211 Breaking into the Mansion, Obsessed
Master Shanhe waved to the little scorpion, and the little scorpion jumped and ran to his palm on its short legs.
"Take her to His Majesty quickly, it will be too late if you delay any longer."
Xiao Qingxu was silent for a moment, then said, "Twelve, put away your sword."
Twelve stood motionless, with a hint of murderous intent towards Master Shanhe flashing in his eyes.
Ji Suxian reached out and tugged at the corner of Twelve's clothes, "Put away the knife."
Twelve pursed his lips and reluctantly returned the knife to Lou Ke.
Ji Suxian was about to speak when he saw Yue Zhu following Qiao Ping towards him.
Yuezhu was holding a box in his hand, and he hurriedly handed the box to Master Shanhe.
"The things are here, save her!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Master Shanhe's eyes. He didn't expect Emperor Chengming to be so anxious.
But he didn't waste any time. He took the box and asked Ji Suxian to carry the person on his back and follow him.
Xiao Qingxu and Yuan Ji looked at Yue Zhu and Qiao Ping at the same time.
Yuan Ji said with a cryptic tone, "You two have arrived at the right time."
Xiao Qingxu seemed to laugh, but his eyes were cold.
"Master Yue has arrived just in time, isn't it?"
Yue Zhu originally followed Xiao Qingxu and the others. After hearing the news that Shang Yuwan was bitten, he followed behind and saw Shang Yuwan's miserable condition, and then rushed to the palace without stopping.
After hearing the news, Emperor Chengming immediately asked Yuezhu to take his Buddhist beads to Jinfu Temple and ask Master Shanhe to treat Shang Yuwan.
Along the way, Yue Zhu did not dare to stop for a moment, for fear of missing the best opportunity to save Shang Yuwan.
But now, facing the scrutinizing gazes of Xiao Qingxu and Yuan Ji, he could not say anything.
Seeing the solemn atmosphere, Qiao Ping coughed twice.
"Her Royal Highness has someone to deal with it, and His Majesty is waiting for news in the palace. Why don't you go to Miss Shang first?"
Xiao Qingxu and Yuan Ji glanced at Qiao Ping and nodded.
They went to see what was happening at Master Shanhe's side. At this time, Bai Xiaoye and Cheng Yishui had already followed Xiao Qinggu to the Princess's Mansion.
Xiao Qinggu was extremely fast, and even Bai Xiaoye didn't have time to react when he climbed over the wall.
He and Cheng Yishui stopped walking. Cheng Yishui looked at the high walls of the Princess's Mansion and asked, "Shall we go in?"
An ominous premonition lingered in Bai Xiaoye's heart.
He frowned and said, "A few people and I will stay here to keep an eye on Her Royal Highness the Princess. You go back and tell the owner of the building and the others about this."
The princess appears to be infected with a child poison, so the eldest princess shouldn't resort to harsh measures against her for now. They should return first and inform the OP of the princess's whereabouts before making any further plans.
Cheng Yishui turned around and left. Bai Xiaoye and Lou Ke stayed not far outside the Princess's Mansion, staring at the situation inside without blinking.
“Pah.”
A white chess piece fell onto the chessboard. Xiao Tong looked at the panting figure in front of him and sighed.
"I really didn't expect it to be you, such a silly child."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Qinggu suddenly rushed up, and Xiao Tong sat there motionless.
Just when Xiao Qinggu's hand was about to touch her face, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind Xiao Qinggu.
Xiao Qinggu sensed the danger, but was too late to dodge. The shadow grabbed the back of her head and slammed it down onto the chessboard. She felt a sharp pain in her back; it turned out the shadow had stepped on her back.
"Bang!!!"
"Well......!"
Xiao Qinggu's forehead made intimate contact with the chessboard, the pain causing her to lose consciousness for a moment. The chessboard cracked, and the black and white pieces flew everywhere. A black piece flew towards Xiao Tong's eyes, but was split in half by a long sword that shone with a cold light.
The hair suddenly fluttered in the wind, then slowly fell back down. Xiao Tong didn't even blink, quietly watching Xiao Qinggu, whose body twitched from time to time in pain.
Under the influence of the insect, Xiao Qinggu regained some consciousness and tried to stand up, supporting herself on the desk with both hands. However, she had only been infected for a short time and had not yet fully adapted to the powerful force within her body. The insect held her head down and stepped on her back, making it impossible for her to move no matter how hard she struggled.
"Uh...uhhh! Let go...of me!"
Xiao Tong lowered her eyes and said, "Tell me, how were you able to escape the control of the Mother Gu?"
The secret method of the Gu beast is a treasure of the alien race. She had spent a lot of effort to get it from the young clan leader. She originally wanted to use her daughter as a cover to plant the Gu on Shang Yuwan, but she didn't expect that this child would be able to save Shang Yuwan at the critical moment.
But this child has never had any adventures since she was a child, and the alien race has long been eradicated by the empress. What went wrong that allowed her to escape the control of the mother Gu?
Facing the order issued by the mother Gu, no matter how much Xiao Qinggu resisted, he could only answer her: "I... don't know..."
Xiao Tong waved her hand to let the Gu master let her go. The moment Xiao Qinggu was freed from the shackles, he immediately pounced on Xiao Tong with lightning speed.
Xiao Tong looked at the blood around her mouth quietly, his eyes dim and unclear. Because Xiao Tong did not give any orders, the two Gu people next to her did not react at all to Xiao Qinggu's actions.
Xiao Qing and Gu Xu pinched Xiao Tong's neck and couldn't bring themselves to do it.
Reason told her that she must kill this man. As long as Xiao Tong was killed, the mother Gu would die with him.
But......
Xiao Qinggu's eyes were red, and his hands, which were pinching Xiao Tong's neck, were shaking constantly. Crystal tears fell on Xiao Tong's cheeks and then slid down.
"A son Gu can't kill a mother Gu, silly child."
Xiao Tong ignored Xiao Qinggu's tears and was very cold in his attitude. He was completely different from the person Xiao Qinggu remembered.
"Why......"
"You were obviously not like this before..."
"This time is different from that time." Xiao Tong still looked indifferent. "Silly child, people will never remain unchanged, and they can't live their whole lives relying on the memories of the past."
"You should stand with me. My blood flows in your body, you are my daughter..."
"no!"
Xiao Qinggu interrupted her loudly and cried, "I'm not your child! Not your daughter!"
"My mother is Consort Yue. Even if she hates me, even if she doesn't love me, she is still my mother. My mother would never collude with the enemy, betray the country, or frame a loyal minister!"
"My mother, my mother..."
Xiao Qinggu bit her lower lip, tears streaming down her face.
"My mother is the best person in the world to me."
"She will consider my safety, shield me from the wind and rain, protect the weak, care about the people, and have compassion for all..."
Xiao Qinggu choked up and said, "My mother is not someone who would do anything to achieve her goals."
The Zi Gu was planted within her, and even Shang Yuwan couldn't empathize with her feelings. Violent power coursed through her body, yet it seemed to be contained by a thin mist, only able to surge within her chest.
Once the person carrying the mother Gu gave an order, the child Gu in Xiao Qinggu's body would become even more agitated, forcing her to obey the mother Gu unconditionally. If she disobeyed, Xiao Qinggu's chest would feel as if it were on fire, causing her to lose her mind and obey her master's orders like a puppet.
The more pain Xiao Qinggu felt at this moment, the more he could understand the suffering of those poisoned people.
"Why do you think you have been able to live freely among the people for so many years?" Xiao Tong's face darkened, and a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes, but her tone remained calm.
"I've done so much for you, yet I'm still not as good as Shang Yuwan, the daughter of a traitor."
A surge of anger erupted from the depths of her heart. Xiao Qinggu stopped crying and shouted angrily, "She is not the daughter of a traitor! The Shang family has not colluded with the enemy and committed treason!"
"It's you who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country! It's Xiao Qingji! The entire loyal and brave Shang family died tragically at your hands, why are you still so stubborn!"
"You are the one who is stubborn and rebellious!!!"
Xiao Tong's calm face finally cracked. "Fool! How could the Shang family be easily manipulated by us? Does Emperor Chengming really have no idea?"
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Qinggu was kicked away by the Gu man.
She fell to the ground like a rag doll, her lower back lifted up by the recoil. Xiao Qinggu was unable to react in time and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Cough!!! Cough cough cough…”
Xiao Qinggu was lying on the ground in a "big" shape, spitting blood from his mouth, his eyes were slightly dazed, and he looked in a mess.
Xiao Tong slowly walked out of the study and stood at the door, looking down at Xiao Qinggu. "If you ask who owes the Shang family anything, Ji'er and I will agree, but how can Emperor Chengming escape responsibility?"
"He's the most hypocritical, why do you insist on believing him? No, you believe Shang Yuwan. She and Lu Xu are truly mother and daughter. Their ability to attract people like moths to a flame is truly inherited from the same source."
"But you are also my biological daughter, why do you..."
"......aunt."
Xiao Qinggu swallowed the blood in her throat. Her eyes were distracted for a moment, but then they immediately refocused. She supported herself on the ground and slowly stood up. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears, and her eyes became firm.
"This princess has already said that her mother is Noble Lady Yue."
"My aunt still has no husband, so please be careful with your words."
Hearing this, Xiao Tong's face turned completely gloomy.
