Chapter 676 Don't say it so harshly, this is called helping each other
Wu Kui's fingers slid lightly along the wall of the glass jar. Looking at the densely packed poisonous insects that he had never seen before, cold sweat trickled down his temples.
The poisonous insects in the jar were squirming, but a strange blank area was formed somewhere.
There was a gilded poison pot placed there, and not a single poisonous insect dared to approach within three inches of it.
"Found it!" Wu Kui's voice trembled.
"The gilded cup must contain the Gu King!"
Ran Qingxuan was delighted and was about to step forward, but He Fanxiong's wheelchair suddenly stopped in front of the large transparent vat where the poison was placed.
The old man's skinny hands pressed tightly against the armrest, veins popping out. "Wait a minute! Before I wake up the Gu King, I want to see Cheng Xuan."
The air suddenly froze, and Gu Yanchen frowned: "Mr. He, wake up the Gu King to control Balanch, this matter cannot be delayed..."
"That's my own brother..." He Fanxiong slammed the armrest of the wheelchair, becoming very emotional.
"It's been seventy-five years. Even though we look the same, I still want to see him in person." The old man's turbid eyes were bloodshot and turbid tears fell as he spoke.
"If anything unexpected happens while awakening the Gu King, I will never rest in peace!"
Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen exchanged glances. In fact, they didn’t know whether they could successfully awaken the Gu King, or whether they could control it after awakening it.
It is reasonable for He Fanxiong to say so.
With a long sigh, Ran Qingxuan looked at Wu Kui: "What dangers will occur after awakening the Gu Queen?"
Wu Kui shook his head: "I don't know either. I only found out how to awaken the Gu Queen by chance. As for what will happen after awakening the Gu Queen, I really don't know."
"Baranhe should still be worried about her face right now. She probably didn't expect us to show up in the palace."
Ran Qingxuan looked at Gu Yanchen after he finished speaking: "If possible, perhaps we can take this opportunity to exchange conditions with Sha Miaoyin."
Gu Yanchen knew that she had many ideas and had no objection to this.
When they sneaked into the harem bedroom, Sha Miaoyin, who had already received the news that the dungeon had been invaded, sat upright on the phoenix chair in the bedroom.
Her eyes were extremely sinister as she stared at the entrance to the palace in front of her without moving. The palace maid beside her looked at her and couldn't help but whispered.
"My queen, why don't you go and rest first? It's not good to endure this every day..."
Sha Miaoyin half opened her mouth as if she wanted to speak, but a hoarse sound came out of her throat.
Seeing this, the maid poured her a cup of hot tea and carefully placed it on the small table beside her.
And what was placed on the small table was the Gu King that had been replaced at some point...
"Zhao Hui, how long have you been with me?"
The maid's heart skipped a beat, and she whispered, "Your Highness, I have been serving you since I was fourteen, and now it has been fifteen years."
Sha Miaoyin turned her head slowly: "How well do I treat you?"
When Zhao Hui saw the suspicion in her eyes, she immediately fell to the ground with a thud.
"Your Highness has been very kind to me. No matter whether you reward or punish me, it is all good for me. I will always remember it in my heart and will never forget it."
"Hmph!" Sha Miaoyin snorted coldly, and the palace maid instantly felt a murderous intent rising in her heart.
"That's a nice thing to say, but I'm curious. Why was this thing replaced in just one day? And why did an assassin appear in the dungeon tonight?"
The maid was trembling all over and her lips were shaking as she hurriedly explained.
"My lady, I really don't know. I know what's in this jade bottle, and I also know that you regard it as a treasure. That's why I won't touch it at all...
As for why it was switched, I really don’t know, please understand, Madam…”
Sha Miaoyin stared at the jade bottle in a daze, her spirits fluctuating, and she even forgot when she put the jade bottle away.
The palace maid was trembling all over, thinking that she would not be able to escape the disaster today, but she didn't expect that there was a knock on the door outside the palace.
Sha Miaoyin thought it was Balanch, so she reached out and took the jade bottle into her arms.
"Go open the door."
The little palace maid quickly got up and went to open the door. When she saw it was Ran Qingxuan, she wanted to go back and tell him. But when she looked down, she saw a face that horrified her.
"Emperor...Emperor..."
With a thump, without any warning, the palace maid fainted with her eyes rolled back.
Sha Miaoyin was about to stand up when she heard the noise, and saw a group of people entering the hall in a dignified manner from outside.
"You are so brave..."
Just as she was about to continue scolding, Sha Miaoyin's eyes suddenly fell on He Fanxiong's face sitting in a wheelchair.
The moment she saw He Fanxiong, Sha Miaoyin was struck by lightning: "Cheng Xuan, is that you?"
She stumbled back, knocking over the bronze lamp.
"Impossible... You are not... not him..."
Ran Qingxuan originally wanted to take He Fanxiong directly to see He Chengxuan, but when she thought of her fourth brother's situation, she discussed with He Fanxiong to go to the Queen's bedroom first.
He Fanxiong looked at the person who only communicated with him through letters, and was not impressed by her reaction.
"I am naturally not He Chengxuan."
Sha Miaoyin reacted, looked at Ran Qingxuan in shock for a moment, and suddenly a strange smile appeared on her face.
"I didn't expect that you would actually bring someone here...hahaha..."
Ran Qingxuan looked at her madly with cold eyes, and said casually: "Sha Miaoyin, we can cure the poison in He Chengxuan's body."
The shrill laughter stopped abruptly, and Sha Miaoyin's eyes gradually focused. She seemed to have just reacted and yelled at Ran Qingxuan at the top of her lungs.
"It's you... it's you guys, right? I clearly remembered putting the jade bottle in, how come it was swapped the next moment? It's you... it's you who planned it..."
"Okay, the Gu that He Chengxuan gave you is not the Gu King at all. It's just an ordinary Gu worm that has been digesting the blood of the Gu King."
Hearing this, Sha Miaoyin was stunned for a moment and then suddenly collapsed to the ground, with the carefully painted Dan Kou leaving bloody marks on her face.
"Why...why did you all lie to me!"
Ran Qingxuan didn't want to waste time talking to her, so he took the opportunity to step forward and hold her wrist: "We can remove the poison from He Chengxuan's body and let him be buried comfortably.
But the condition is that you have to tell us where exactly in the dungeon Gu Yanxing is being held! ”
Sha Miaoyin's eyes were on He Fanxiong from beginning to end, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying.
Ran Qingxuan thought that she was stimulated after seeing He Fanxiong, and was wondering whether to leave directly when Sha Miaoyin suddenly sneered.
"It's really shameless to use this as a threat..."
Seeing her like this, Ran Qingxuan took a deep breath and sighed.
"Don't say it so harshly, this is called helping each other!"
Sha Miaoyin's current appearance was indeed pitiful, but it was not enough to make her give up the exchange terms.
"In this case, you must first tell us the exact location of our people, so that you won't betray us later."
He Fanxiong was actually a little anxious, but he also knew the purpose of Ran Qingxuan and the others' trip to Blue Rain.
