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 sleeve 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 shocked:
"This is... you said I've been poisoned by a Gu? What kind of Gu is it? Is there a cure?"
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 my 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. It's a very difficult to detect Gu technique, but it can cause endless harm."
"If the person who has been poisoned by the Gu is heartless, the Gu will have no effect. However, if the person develops love for someone other than the one who cast the Gu, the Gu will devour that love and feed it back to the one who cast the Gu, causing the host to gradually fall in love with the one who cast the Gu, until they become unable to extricate themselves and obey their every word."
"I can't get rid of the poison right now until I find the one who poisoned it, but this talisman can suppress it and prevent it from feeding back to the person 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 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 consume your feelings for the person you love, the red line hasn't even passed your elbow yet, which means it's only recently started to take effect. There's still time for everything."
Yun Qingqing was thinking about giving acupuncture to Xiao Changheng, so after giving him 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 them. The pain gets more severe as time goes on, and at its worst, it can feel like your heart is being torn out."
Yun Qingqing sighed and felt a little 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 by such a vicious poison without knowing it. He was 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 shook his body, looked palely in the direction where she disappeared, and raised his hand to cover his heart.
…
…
At night.
In the dim secret room, the secret guard reported in a low voice:
"The assassination attempt was blocked by a strange flying sword. The sword's owner 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 really expect it to succeed. Have you dealt with all those people who did it?"
"Master, don't worry, 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 hummed softly:
"She is indeed 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 salute her.
"Princess, please."
After letting Yun Qingqing into the carriage, he personally sat in the coachman's seat and drove the carriage towards Yan Mansion.
Inside the palace, Xiao Changheng was soaking in the dark green medicinal liquid, 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 secret guard's detailed report on what happened on the street yesterday, and he had even asked her about it indirectly while giving her acupuncture last night.
Yun Qingqing didn't hide anything, but Xiao Changheng was still unhappy.
"Has the person gone far away?" he asked calmly.
"yes."
"Understood. Everyone, leave. 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...ah!" 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 unruly while she was away?" Zhiluo sat down on the table opposite him, folding her arms and glancing at him from the side, her long hair moving in the wind behind her, looking quite flamboyant.
Xiao Changheng had no expression on his face:
"go out!"
"Hey, you were the one who invited me here, and now you're the one who wants to send 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 going on?"
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 for 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 ask 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 achieve 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 lightly.
The corners of Zhiluo's mouth twitched:
"The conditions are quite tempting, but didn't she tell you that you are not suitable for cultivation?"
"How will 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 time that all the evil demons and heretics she's fought have been on this path since childhood. They've practiced for decades, taking countless shortcuts to achieve their goals, but in the end, they're still no match for even a finger of hers."
"You want to practice cultivation just to avoid being left behind by her, but ask yourself, as an ordinary person who has just started, can you really catch up with her?"
"You will only stare 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 reached a height that ordinary people cannot even reach."
"Knowing all this, you are 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, unexplained chill down your back when you're walking down the street at night or entering a dark, unoccupied room?"
“…”
"Look, your perception of things outside of the human world is so dull, even worse than that of an ordinary person. In our opinion, this is irrefutable evidence that you are incapable of cultivation."
Xiao Changheng: "..."
When Zhiluo mercilessly revealed the truth, he realized that what Yun Qingqing had said before was quite tactful.
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Zhiluo shook her head, sighed softly, and decided to do something good for Yun Qingqing.
"Actually, you don't have to be sad about this. Your talent lies elsewhere, and it's beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"Your great fortune lies in the world and in the lives of all 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.
"Do 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 will be extremely precious to her, more precious than any treasure in the world."
Xiao Changheng was stunned when he heard this:
"What did you say?"
