"Do you remember when we first met?"

"It was during the Zhenbei Palace period, when the princess was still a princess."

"So when did you fall in love with me?"

"When I first saw the princess, I couldn't help myself..."

I took a deep breath and slowly asked some seemingly random questions, listening to his answers as if they were love words. Gradually, I found that as Wu Jiu said, Kui was self-completing the normal consciousness that a person should have. Many of the answers he gave were different from the real situation, but they were more in line with my preferences.

In an imaginary world, I pieced together an imaginary person based on my memory.

So, when I pulled out the dagger and slashed his chest, his eyes full of shock and disappointment really burned my eyes.

"I'm sorry..." I mumbled an apology, my eyes dropping to the wound on his chest.

With my own eyes, after the blade cut through the fabric of the clothes, the cut skin looked like a piece of cheesecake. The damage to the flesh was not the way humans do, and countless red threads were constantly wriggling inside the wound.

His body is like a petri dish for Gu worms. The red lines inside his body, which I have seen Wu Jiu use before, are called blood Gu. As for the refining formula, every Gu Master has his own preferences.

"I brought you here with my own hands. Now I'm going to destroy you. You can blame me." I inserted my fingers into the empty wound until my entire palm was inside.

The mute slave's expression was filled with hidden pain, but he tried to curl his lips to me, "No, the princess can do anything to the slave."

When my palms were surrounded by the active poisonous insects in his body, I seemed to see some different scenes in front of my eyes.

To some extent, my physical changes are related to these things. Although people in this world call it Gu Shu, I think it may be another kind of spatial energy. People in this era cannot understand it. Only a small number of people can control it. What's strange is that all Gu Shu inheritance cannot be recorded in books, and it is only passed on by word of mouth between masters and apprentices.

It seems that I can understand this rule, because at this moment some things seem to automatically flow into my mind, allowing me to master the ability to control the Gu without any learning cost. At the same time, I can also feel the breath of the puppet, his sad and happy emotions and life energy, all of which are closely related to me.

On the upper left side of his chest, where a human heart should grow, there is a small red ball. Upon closer inspection, it is a mass of condensation.

Life Gu. The word automatically popped up in my mind.

Wujiu said that I put a life-saving Gu on the puppet, which was a very dangerous act.

The effect of this life-saving Gu is that it allows the puppet to share pain and life with me, so my blood can become his nourishment, and we are mutually cause and effect.

Suddenly I felt a hint of violence, which seemed to be a strong murderous intent.

Who does puppet want to kill?

me?

In just a moment, I suddenly opened my eyes, and at the same time, the mute slave pushed me away.

The powerful force caught me off guard and sent me flying several feet away, and I fell heavily to the ground.

But the next moment, several feather arrows shot to the place where I was originally standing and penetrated deeply into the ground. Even the mute slave was hit by several arrows.

There was an assassin in the forest. Then I heard the sound of arrows. The red color was particularly obvious in the night sky. I also heard someone shouting to protect the princess.

A dozen men in black rushed towards us with shining weapons in their hands. The mute slave fought with them with his bare hands, but three or two of them came around me and started slashing at me with their knives.

They probably hadn't done their homework beforehand and thought that I was a weak woman who couldn't even lift a finger, and that such a move would definitely kill me on the spot.

I rolled over on the mud several times, dodging the attacks, and then I picked up any dirt or stones I could find and threw them at the men. They screamed in agony, and one of them happened to be hit on the acupuncture points on his arm, causing his arm to shake and his weapon to fall to the ground.

The people who came to protect me arrived very quickly. This place is not far from the palace. When the people in the palace hear the warning of arrows, they will probably rush over here.

The assassination came suddenly and ended suddenly.

But the few remaining assassins with low health seemed unwilling to give up, and used their final killing moves on the mute slave, because the arrows hanging on his body made them misunderstand that he was also at the end of his strength and did not have much fighting power left.

One of them even climbed onto his back, locked his waist with his legs, and tried to cut his neck with the blade.

I screamed to alert the mute slave, and then I saw the mute slave, with his arms clamped, raised his hands to grab the head of the man behind him, and pulled him out as easily as pulling out a scallion, and then threw him over his shoulder to the ground like a mud cake.

"All assassins! Leave no one alive! Kill without mercy!" Steward Zhou's voice sounded in the distance.

The last few people were so frightened when they witnessed the tragic death of their accomplice that they stood there in a daze and were captured in one fell swoop by the palace guards who rushed over.

"Princess, how are you? Are you hurt?" Tianhe came to me first.

Across the crowd, I looked at the mute slave and shook my head slowly as a response to Tianhe.

The mute slave was surrounded inside with the assassin. He stood out from the others like a crane among chickens. He also looked in my direction and smiled at me gently as if saying goodbye.

Then I watched him reach out and take the torch from the person next to him and put it on himself. The red fire dragon instantly crawled all over his body, enveloping him. In a strange moment, everyone around me didn't dare to breathe, staring at this strange and quiet scene, but I heard countless sharp screams and wails, extremely shrill and unwilling.

A warm and dry palm covered my eyes, but it couldn't stop the surging tears.

"Princess! Are you hurt?" Wujiu's voice came.

I pulled Tianhe's hand away, turned my body and buried it in Tianhe's arms, with my back facing Wujiu, "Let him go, I don't want to see him now!"

There were still a lot of people around, but it seemed like everyone else was pretending not to notice what was going on here.

"Please go back, Prince Consort." Tianhe saw the guest off for me.

Wu Jiu seemed to be stunned for a moment, then replied, "Then Princess, go back and rest early. I will come to see you tomorrow morning."

I ignored him and didn't even look at him until he left.

If we trace back to the source of today's pain, he is one of the culprits, and the man in the palace is also the murderer.

"Princess, let's go back." Tianhe's voice sounded from above my head, his tone was gentle, as if he was afraid that speaking louder would scare me.

My tears wet the front of his lapel. Other than this, I didn't know how else to vent the emotions that were pent up in my heart.
