Beijing Wuyuan
Wuyuan, a renowned brothel in the capital, was like a delicate flower blooming in the bustling city. The first three floors welcomed every guest who came seeking pleasure.
The corridor in the middle divided the brothel into two parts. The two floors at the back were the living quarters for the family, away from the hustle and bustle.
In the innermost room of the cell, a young man wearing a fox mask stared gloomily at the tortured woman kneeling on the ground in front of him with a gaze as cold as the water in a pond.
"You're more likely to cause trouble than to help! You know, this plan was flawless and impeccable. But because of your momentary anger, it was all ruined! Two thousand secret guards! And those tens of thousands of poisonous insects! Do you know that it would take a full ten years to obtain them?"
Originally, this woman, as a princess married to Dong Jinguo from Dagan Kingdom, had great value. However, this woman foolishly provoked Jiang Zhixu's woman.
The assassination failed, and instead led to the tragic deaths of many secret guards and poisonous insects. He himself was exposed, and there was one less spy planted in the palace.
All of this was because of this fool's self-will. He looked at the woman on the ground with a sinister look, thinking about how to deal with her so as to vent his hatred.
The woman on the ground slowly raised her head. It was Princess Qingmin, who had recently disappeared from the city. At this moment, she had been tortured to the point of being on the verge of death, like a candle in the wind, ready to go out at any moment.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties walked out from behind the screen. He glanced at Princess Qingmin lying on the ground as if she were just an insignificant ant.
Then, he turned to look at the masked man and said, "Things have already happened. There's no need to bother with her anymore. Come, take her away and use her blood to feed the Gu."
As long as this woman didn't fall into the Emperor's hands, everything would be fine. After all, this woman knew something about their affairs, and she couldn't be allowed to fall into the hands of others. As for her life or death, it was no longer a matter of concern.
The masked man flashed a bloodthirsty smile, like the eyes of a wolf flickering in the night sky. He waved his hand, signaling his men to take her away. Then, he turned to the middle-aged man and said, "With so many people and poisonous insects dead, will this have a significant impact on the plan? Imperial Master."
The middle-aged man gazed at the sky leisurely, as if he could find traces of the answer in that vast sky.
"The impact is significant. While the people involved are fine, the plan to use the Gu worms to control court officials and manipulate women outside the court has been aborted. It will be difficult to find such a large number of Gu worms again."
It had only been a short while since they arrived at the capital of the Dagan Kingdom when such an earth-shaking event occurred. Looking at the Ziwei Emperor Star, which was originally covered tightly by dark clouds, now had a faint light shining through. The three stars of the Sky Spear surrounding the Ziwei Emperor Star were also originally in danger, but now were shining brightly around the Emperor Star.
Alas! Daye is worrying. Why does the celestial phenomenon change so drastically when it reaches the Dagan Kingdom?
The Imperial Master sighed, "However, it's not completely hopeless. This girl, Jin Linlin, has repeatedly disrupted our plans. Perhaps she is the key. If we can eliminate her, we might be able to disrupt Jiang Zhixu's deployment."
The masked man's eyes flickered like cold stars in the night sky. "This plan is very good, but the woman is guarded by Jiang Zhixu. It will not be easy to take action." The national teacher sneered.
"Even though Jiang Zhixu is powerful, she still has her flaws. We can use Zhuang Shi to send her two Gu."
Just as the two were plotting, a subordinate suddenly came hurriedly to report: "Imperial Master, something bad has happened. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion seems to have noticed some clues about us and is secretly investigating." The Imperial Master's face suddenly changed!
"It seems we must expedite our actions. We must not let them ruin our plans. First, let Zhuang approach the woman and find an opportunity to strike. At the same time, we must also prepare a comprehensive plan to deal with the Zhenguogong Mansion."
The masked man nodded, a hint of cold cruelty flashing in his eyes.
Zhenguogong Mansion
Jiang Shiwei was a little confused. It was reasonable that the title of the Duke of Zhenguo was not stripped away. It must be the second and third houses who were behind it.
So what was going on with the Qingmin Princess Mansion? In his previous life, he seemed to have successfully married, so how could he have disappeared out of thin air?
A strong sense of urgency surged in her heart, and she had a premonition that future events might not develop along the trajectory of her previous life.
She had returned from this life to become the most respected woman in the world, and she would never let the Fourth Prince down. The imperial examinations had to be a complete success before any further matters could be discussed.
Her face was gloomy, and her eyes were cold as she looked towards the third room. Her hatred and jealousy towards Cao Jiao burned like a raging fire in her heart. In her previous life, their Zhenguo Mansion collapsed like a building, and overnight, they could no longer survive in the capital.
She was able to accompany her third brother on his comeback, and she was always able to rescue him from the local aristocratic families when he offended them. She was also able to easily deal with the troubles that her grandmother, eldest brother, and eldest sister-in-law repeatedly caused, and her diplomacy was flawless.
The third brother did not let her down and loved her all his life. After returning to Beijing, the emperor and empress favored them. The third brother was promoted to the position of cabinet minister, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, enjoying wealth and honor.
Unfortunately, they were so cruel to her, their younger sister. In her previous life, she had married the eldest prince as a concubine, struggling to survive in the harem.
She only asked them to help the eldest prince, but they ruthlessly rejected her request on the grounds that they did not take sides.
She begged them to intercede for the eldest prince and let her be his concubine, but they claimed that they would not interfere in the affairs of the prince's harem. Every time she asked for help, it was like a stone falling on the sea, and there was no response.
