Chapter 219: Undercurrents surge, awe-inspiring without anger
Shang Yuwan pulled Xiao Qinggu into the house and talked to him for a long time.
She closed the door, obviously not wanting anyone to overhear her conversation with Xiao Qinggu. Ji Suxian didn't go over to eavesdrop, and even pulled Shang Mingqi back when he wanted to eavesdrop.
"Little brother, don't disturb them."
Shang Mingqi pursed his lips, said "oh", and went to practice boxing on the other side. Yue Zhu went over to guide him.
Xiao Qingxu sat on a stone bench drinking tea and looked at the poisonous mother-in-law.
"Is she okay?"
Poison Granny pointed to the insect beast on her shoulder and said, "If there's a problem, my insect will react."
Xiao Qingxu nodded and was about to ask something else when he saw a carrier pigeon flying towards him.
He looked up, took the pigeon in his hand, and opened the note to take a look.
[Someone is coming.]
It's Lu Heying's handwriting.
Xiao Qingxu's eyes darkened, he stuffed the note into his sleeve, stood up and bowed to Poison Granny: "I'll leave this to you, Granny."
Seeing that he was busy, Poisonous Mother-in-law nodded.
Ji Suxian turned around and exchanged glances with Xiao Qingxu. They both understood what the other meant.
"Go quickly and come back soon, this is your wife."
Xiao Qingxu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I'm done. Take good care of her."
Ji Suxian hummed and waved his hand, "Go, go, go."
Twelve stood beside Ji Suxian, staring at the house.
"Your Highness looks much better."
Inside the house, Xiao Qinggu had calmed down and smiled faintly, "I am a poisonous person. The poisons of both sides clash, and I am slightly better."
I'm afraid it must be very painful.
Shang Yuwan thought this in his heart, but his face curved with a smile, "Yes, His Highness is more powerful than before. It can be considered a blessing in disguise. I don't have to worry about the second assessment."
"Not really." Xiao Qinggu shook his head. "If the mother Gu is not dealt with, it will be useless even if all the tests are passed."
Even a person like her with weak muscles and bones could be controlled into such a monster. If some people with high martial arts skills were controlled, it is hard to imagine how powerful their combat power would be.
"I wonder what your highness plans to do next?"
"Take a gamble."
Shang Yuwan frowned slightly, "What are you betting on?"
Xiao Qinggu's eyes dimmed a little, but he still smiled and said, "I bet she hasn't been completely bewitched by the mother insect yet."
As for where Xiao Qinggu got the idea from, it all started early this morning when the poisonous mother-in-law came to the princess's mansion to deliver medicine to her.
The Poisonous Grandma handed the pill to Xiao Qinggu through the prison bars. She held the pill with a gloomy expression.
Poisonous Granny said, "It's not your fault, and no one is blaming you. Why are you so sad?"
She herself was not one for internal conflict. When she was young, she would poison anyone who displeased her. Now, if anyone was to blame her, she would just blow them up. If someone controlled her to do something bad, even if it was someone close to her, the poisonous mother-in-law would only want to kill the person who controlled her. So she didn't quite understand Xiao Qinggu's current dejected look.
Xiao Qinggu sneered inwardly, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Grandma, does a person who is pregnant with the Mother Gu have to die?"
"Of course." Poison Granny didn't understand Xiao Qinggu's hidden meaning. "A person who is pregnant with the mother Gu has been affected by the mother Gu since she implanted the first child Gu in her."
The method used to refine the Gu Beast Secret Technique was extremely brutal, and naturally, not everyone could suppress the Mother Gu. Most people who sought to possess the Gu Beast Secret Technique had ulterior motives, while a very small number were those who, hoping for a lucky break, sought to use this powerful force to achieve their goals overnight.
However, few people except foreigners know that once the will of the person pregnant with the mother Gu cannot suppress the mother Gu, the identities of master and servant will be reversed. Unknowingly, the person pregnant with the mother Gu will become cruel and bloodthirsty, and will no longer be as gentle as before.
"If the mother Gu completely controls the person's mind, will they kill the child Gu that has escaped their control?"
"The child Gu has escaped control..." Poison Granny sensed something was amiss, but still answered truthfully and tactfully, "If His Highness had been completely controlled by the mother Gu, he might not be here by now."
The mother Gu was brutal and ruthless, and had absolute control over her offspring. If that person was completely controlled by the mother Gu, Xiao Qinggu would not be able to wait for others to rescue her.
"Your Highness, do you know who is the one who is pregnant with the Mother Gu?"
Xiao Qinggu pursed his lips, "Sorry, this matter..."
"No problem." Poisonous Granny waved her hand, "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it."
"But your Majesty is quite tolerant."
Emperor Chengming knew that killing the mother Gu was the best solution, but he also knew that Xiao Tong's use of the mother Gu would be far less effective than his own. Furthermore, it was unclear how many eggs of the child Gu Xiao Tong possessed. If he were to get involved, the consequences would be disastrous. The private soldiers sent by Xiao Qingji had yet to be fully apprehended, a real headache.
If Dayu were to fall into chaos, the other three kingdoms wouldn't necessarily remain on the sidelines. Even Emperor Chengming would be unable to withstand the combined internal and external troubles.
For the sake of stability in Dayu, Emperor Chengming had no choice but to take it step by step.
"so."
Shang Yuwan's expression was stern. "What you want to bet on is that she still loves you?"
"Yeah." Xiao Qinggu smiled bitterly, "I bet she..."
"Still love me."
“…”
"good."
Xiao Qinggu's eyes softened, "Thank you..."
"but."
Shang Yuwan suddenly interrupted Xiao Qinggu and looked at her with burning eyes.
"I won't let you bear it alone."
Half a minute later, with a "creak", the door opened and Shang Yuwan was helped out by Xiao Qinggu.
Shang Yuwan, looking pale, was helped onto the four-wheeled cart. She suddenly looked at Shang Mingqi.
Shang Mingqi tilted his head: "?"
Shang Yuwan smiled at him and turned his gaze to Yue Zhu, "I like this child. I wonder if Master Yue is willing to part with him?"
Shang Mingqi's face lit up with joy.
Yue Zhu was stunned for a moment, then said, "If Lord Shang likes it, then I'll take it with me."
I was originally going to send it back to Shang Yuwan. But why now...?
What did she and Her Royal Highness the Princess talk about in the room?
Although Shang Mingqi felt something was strange, he was still very happy and followed Shang Yuwan happily.
Shang Yuwan looked very weak. After saying "Go back to Prince Qi's Mansion", he said nothing more.
Xiao Qinggu sent her, Ji Suxian and others to the door. After watching the carriage of Prince Qi's Mansion leave, he turned and looked at Yue Zhu.
"Lord Yue, the princess is taking a vacation today."
Yue Zhu had a premonition that something big was about to happen, and his expression gradually became solemn.
"What do you want, Princess?"
"Calling you Lord Yue is a sign of respect for your hard work in serving my father for many years." Xiao Qinggu's expression was cold, but there was a hint of majesty between her eyebrows.
"It is not your place to interfere in what this princess wants to do, as someone without even an official position."
Yue Zhu was startled, then immediately bowed and apologized: "I have overstepped the bounds. I beg Your Highness to punish me."
Xiao Qinggu gave him a cold look, then turned back to the mansion and said, "Come here, this princess needs to change clothes and prepare the carriage. She will be leaving later."
The guest disguised as a maid bowed and saluted: "Yes."
Yue Zhu looked at Xiao Qinggu who was leaving, then turned his head to look in the direction the carriage left.
His eyes changed, and he asked the servant at the door to tell Xiao Qinggu that something happened at home and he needed to go home. Then he turned around and walked towards the Yue family without saying a word.
In the carriage heading towards Prince Qi's Mansion, Shang Yuwan leaned against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed, concentrating.
"What did he do?"
Ji Suxian continued, "The person has been taken to the capital and should be entering the palace now."
"Is it Grandfather?"
"Yes, it's the eldest master of the Xu family."
Shang Mingqi asked curiously, "Cousin, what do you need me to do?"
Shang Yuwan wouldn't suddenly bring him back for no reason. There must be something he needs to do.
“…”
Shang Yuwan slowly opened his eyes, and the bottom of his eyes was like a pool of unpredictable water.
"Qier, twelve."
Both the big and the small were cheered up.
An indescribable emotion flashed in Shang Yuwan's eyes, and Yang Qianmo's face in the ice coffin appeared in his mind.
A hint of chill poured out from her mouth:
"Are you afraid of death?"
