Ye Zhao and Ye Mu looked at Xiao Taohua with contempt in their eyes. Although Xiao Taohua was smiling, his eyes were dead silent.
No matter how noble their identities were, it didn't matter.
Although the Young Master was known for his poisons, ever since he left his master, he had never harmed an innocent commoner.
But these two high and mighty princesses!
The two of them claimed to be the twin prodigies of Canglan Country, but the number of people who died at their hands was innumerable.
No wonder they were favored by the Female Emperor of Canglan Country. Because this pair of twins, their hearts were as vicious as their mother the Empress.
The evil of these three women came straight from their bones. Their preferences were completely unpredictable.
If they wanted to kill someone, they just killed them.
How could he let such a vicious pair of twins off easily after they had plotted against the Young Master?
"You two high and mighty princesses, stop screaming. What I fed you wasn't poison, but gu worms raised with my own blood. As soon as I die, you two will undoubtedly die as well.
Once these worms enter a person's body, they will slowly suck your blood and reproduce until those gu worms have eaten all the flesh and blood from your bodies."
Ye Zhao and Ye Mu's faces instantly turned ugly when they heard Xiao Taohua's words. They put their hands on their chests, as if trying to feel the worms inside their bodies through their skin.
They had seen gu worms before. Because their mother the Empress had many witchers by her side. Those witchers would put larvae in children's bodies, and then lock those children in cages.
When the larvae awoke inside the children's bodies and slowly grew bigger, they would constantly bite and chew the children's flesh and blood.
And those children who were bitten by the larvae, unable to endure the pain in their bodies, would lose their senses and bite their companions next to them without reason.
Until only one child was left alive in the cage, that last surviving child was what the witchers called a gu human.
And the grown larvae inside the child's body was the so-called gu king. And that child parasitized by the gu king would become an unfeeling and unthinking puppet.
A puppet that could be manipulated by others, only knowing how to kill.
Thinking that they would become unfeeling puppets, the expressions on Ye Zhao and Ye Mu's faces were filled with horror.
No, they were high and noble princesses, they were the twin prodigies of Canglan Country. Now that Eldest Princess Ye Xi was dead, and Third Prince Ye Yi had also been abandoned by their mother the Empress.
One of them had the possibility of becoming the next Empress of Canglan Country.
How could they die! They could not die!
Seeing only fear in Ye Zhao and Ye Mu's eyes, Lin Zao ignored their flattering glances and coldly ordered:
"Take Princess Ye Zhao and Ye Mu away, don't let anyone come in contact with them. No Shuang, No Shi, have people guard them in secret, don't let them die easily." Lin Zao said coldly.
"Yes sir!"
After watching Ye Zhao and Ye Mu being dragged away by the guards, Lin Zao turned to the envoy from Fengshuo Country.
He was a man who looked to be in his mid-thirties, with the air of a scholar around him. Wearing light blue robes, he quietly watched Lin Zao.
If they weren't in the banquet hall, if they hadn't just experienced the bloody scene at the banquet.
Just looking at this man, he was a scholar full of scholarly spirit.
What a pity, he wasn't.
He was a beast hiding in the shadows, waiting for a chance to bite.
"Queen Mingzhu, I am Crown Prince Qianxing of Fengshuo Country. The conspiracies of the Female Emperor have nothing to do with our Fengshuo Country, please see clearly."
"My people will naturally find out if it is related or not. After all, didn't Princess Ye Zhao and Ye Mu just say,
As soon as I die, the soldiers from Canglan and Fengshuo will take the opportunity to invade my Han Country and kill all my people and cut my body into thousands of pieces.
To tell you the truth, I really want to know now, how you plan to cut my body into thousands of pieces and trample my Han Country flat."
After Lin Zao spoke, she looked at the guards outside the hall and ordered.
"Come, take Crown Prince Qianxing of Fengshu Country to the side hall to keep close watch over him, don't let anyone have a chance to harm him."
After implying something, Lin Zao turned and walked towards Ji Fan Tian.
Taking the still unconscious Ruo Qiu from Ji Fan's arms, and looking at Ruo Qiu's face which was pale as porcelain. Lin Zao quickly steadied her heartbeat and strode towards the back hall of the banquet hall.
There was a room in the back hall for people to rest. After Lin Zao closed the door to the room, she put her hand by Ruo Qiu's nose to check his breathing.
Didn't Ji Fan say that the white ginseng pills could make a dying person live for three more months?
Little Liuli had also taken the white jade ginseng pill and it was indeed effective. But why wouldn't it work for Ruo Qiu?
How could that white jade ginseng pill only maintain its effects for a while? Now Ruo Qiu's breathing had become weak again.
【System, is there a cure for Ruo Qiu's poison?】
【Yes host. However host, the poison in Ruo Qiu's body seems more like a curse. Normal antidotes are useless against that kind of curse.】
【Curse? How can there be such a thing? System, what price do I need to pay to get the antidote to cure Ruo Qiu?】
【Host, there is no antidote for this curse. If there is an antidote, then the antidote is yourself.】
【Myself? What does that mean?】
【Host, with the long time you've spent drinking marrow cleansing liquid and beauty liquid, your body has long been changed by the system. Your current body is not afraid of any poison in this world, let alone curses. So host, you yourself are the best antidote.
Now take Ruo Qiu to consummate your marriage by intimate means to transfer the poison in his body into yours. After all, those poisons, or curses, are harmless to you.】
【Consummate our marriage! Damn dog system, Ruo Qiu is already in this shape, how can I consummate my marriage with him! If I consummate our marriage without his consent, what difference is there between me and a rapist?
The men around here are very conscious about reputation and integrity. If I consummated our marriage with Ruo Qiu without his consent, what if he's unwilling after waking up? 】
【Host, the system can make Ruo Qiu regain consciousness for about an hour. Within this hour you can obtain consent from Ruo Qiu to help transfer the poison in his body.
But host, if you want to get something from the system, you have to pay the price.】
The insidious system said.
【What price? Say it quickly?】
Lin Zao grit her teeth and said.
【Very simple, within the next three days every time you see a handsome man you will drool madly and bat your eyelashes at him!】
【Damn! Dog system, I am now the female emperor of Han Country, not that village woman Lin Zaozao. Can't you give me some face? With handsome men surrounding me now, if I bat my eyelashes and drool every time I see a handsome guy, what face would I have left? What difference would I have with a disgusting old shoe?】
【Silly host, do you want face or do you want Ruo Qiu? Please choose quickly, host. If you don't choose, the system will go out and have fun. After all that nagging with you, the system is almost out of saliva.】
【So what if I bat my eyes and drool? I have thick skin, I can hold out. Damn dog system, I want Ruo Qiu!】
【Host, your little baby Ruo Qiu is about to wake up. Foolish host, get ready to drool and bat your eyes like crazy the moment Ruo Qiu opens his eyes!】
As Lin Zao was about to retort to the insidious system, she saw Ruo Qiu slowly open his eyes.
As she looked into Ruo Qiu's fox-like eyes, Lin Zaozao's face, under the control of the dog system, started uncontrollably throwing coquettish glances at Ruo Qiu, as if a small electric motor had been installed on it. In addition, she started drooling uncontrollably.
"Zaozao..."
"Ruo, Ruo Qiu! How, how are you feeling now?"
While caring about Ruo Qiu, Lin Zaozao felt her saliva flowing uncontrollably from the corners of her mouth like a faucet.
Her eyes blinked at Ruo Qiu at an extremely high frequency and in an extremely regular manner, throwing strange coquettish glances.
Lin Zaozao first wiped her saliva with her sleeve, then covered one eye with her hand, trying her best not to look at Ruo Qiu's face as she greeted him.
Seeing the pained expression on Lin Zaozao's face, Ruo Qiu did not react at first.
"Zaozao, what's wrong with your eyes? Are you hurt? And why are the corners of your mouth wet?"
Ruo Qiu gently placed his hand on Lin Zaozao's eyes, feeling them blink wildly. Her long eyelashes kept brushing against his palm. Something was very wrong with Zaozao's eyes!
What's going on with her?
Also, isn't she dead? How can a dead person see Zaozao? Could Zaozao be...
"Zaozao, are, are you alright? Aren't you in Han country? How could someone like Prince Han Ye possibly fail to protect you?
Could it be? Did Prince Han Ye use you and then kill you after he was done? How could he do that? If I had known, if I had known I would have risked my life to take you with me before I died.
I'm sorry, Zaozao. I, I'm just a coward. I failed to protect you."
Seeing Ruo Qiu's grieved expression, Lin Zaozao quickly lowered her hand from her eye, grabbed Ruo Qiu's hand and placed it on her cheek, hurriedly explaining:
"No, no, no! Ruo Qiu, you're not dead yet! If you don't believe me, feel me, my skin is nice and warm."
Seeing Ruo Qiu's dumbfounded expression, Lin Zaozao hurriedly placed Ruo Qiu's hand on her chest, and quickly explained:
"Ruo Qiu, feel my petite steamed buns. Although my petite steamed buns are small, the heart beating inside is still thumping."
Feeling the distinct heartbeat under his hand, Ruo Qiu stared blankly at Lin Zaozao, who kept throwing coquettish glances at him while drooling, and asked word for word:
"Zaozao, I, I'm not dead yet?"
"Not dead, not dead, still alive!"
Lin Zaozao pulled up her sleeve, wiped the saliva from her mouth, and hurried to reassure him:
"But I'm about to die from an even more aggressive poison than 'Incurable'.
Zaozao, I really didn't expect that I would get to see you again before I die. Zaozao, I still failed after I went back. I thought that even if my mother didn't love me, my father would surely love me.
When we were in Waterfall Village, I stubbornly wanted to go back and take my father away from my mother's side, to keep him safe for the rest of his life.
But unfortunately, my father doesn't love me either. I'm his child! Yet he doesn't even love me.
Following my mother's order, my father personally slipped the chronic poison into my teacup, just for the countless family assets after my death.
My parents, for my money, they have all abandoned me, and want me dead.
Zaozao, I have once again become a pitiful abandoned pawn that no one wants. They are our closest blood relatives, how could they do this to me!"
