Blessing Palace

"What? The queen was kidnapped by Jiang Beiheng?"

Wanyan Hongze naturally couldn't believe that Jiang Beiheng, an old man, could kidnap Du Qingwan by himself.

In his impression, Du Qingwan is not so easy to control.

But soon, Abao confirmed this fact again:

"Yes, my lord. Zhao'er sent someone to bring back a message."

Wanyan Hongze immediately realized that Du Qingwan had brought the plan forward without his permission.

He knew that it was useless to be anxious now, so he took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and asked slowly:

"So where are they now? Have you sent anyone out to look for them?"

"Our people are keeping an eye on Jiang Beiheng and the Queen, but Jiang Beiheng specifically asked you to go and negotiate with him in person..."

When A Bao said this, his voice gradually weakened, as if he lacked confidence. He was timid and did not dare to look up at Wanyan Hongze.

"What?! Jiang Beiheng is so brave!"

Wanyan Hongze almost got angry again when he heard this, but fortunately he restrained himself in time and then said:

"Go and inform General Wanyan that I am going to play hard to get and catch the turtle in the urn!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Soon, Abao left the Blessing Palace.

About a quarter of an hour later, Wanyan Bixiu was ready.

After Wanyan Hongze carefully arranged some things, he and Abao dressed up as ordinary people and left the Loulan Palace together.

In an abandoned Dragon King Temple on the outskirts of the city, Jiang Beiheng tied up Du Qingwan's hands and feet with ropes, and sat on the ground with his back against the wall to rest.

Du Qingwan was tied up and couldn't move at all, which was really uncomfortable.

Counting on his fingers, he felt confident that Wanyan Hongze would come to rescue him soon, and he felt reassured and not worried at all.

But she knew she couldn't put all her hopes on others.

At the critical moment, you still have to find a way to save yourself.

So, she suddenly had an idea, and slowly stood up along the wall, hopping to Jiang Beiheng's side, pretending to laugh foolishly:

"Jiang Beiheng, I have a question that I can't figure out.

You said you were kidnapping me all by yourself, aren't you really afraid?"

These words really touched Jiang Beiheng's heart. He couldn't help but shudder and said with disdain:

"What do I have to be afraid of? Queen Mother Qiao controls my entire family and forced me to cast a spell on you in an attempt to trick you back to Daye."

"She said that if I can't bring you back to the palace, then three generations of my Jiang family will have to be buried with you! What crime have we committed?"

Thinking of the vicious and disgusting face of Queen Mother Qiao, Jiang Beiheng instantly lost his composure and really wanted to stab her to death with a sword right away.

"You could have refused at the beginning! You could have just said you didn't understand anything, then everything would be fine, right?"

Du Qingwan pondered for a while, raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Beiheng with a fake smile, and suddenly felt like crying but had no tears.

Although Du Qingwan knew that Queen Mother Qiao had always been lawless and would not allow anyone to refuse, she still thought that there was no need for Jiang Beiheng to fall into this dilemma.

"Haha! Reject? How easy is that? Who in the world doesn't know who Queen Mother Qiao is?"

Jiang Beiheng quickly dropped the sword in his hand, smiled bitterly, and looked very helpless.

Looking up at the dumbfounded Du Qingwan, Jiang Beiheng couldn't help but sigh and continued:

"Miss Du, you are born with a noble character, and whoever gets you will surely be able to rule the world.

I, Jiang Beiheng, am sorry for you, but I was forced to do so."

Du Qingwan couldn't help but complain in her heart when she heard this:

[Has Jiang Beiheng finally found his conscience? If I test him, I think I can get rid of the Guixin poison in my body.]

[Calm down! I still have to pretend to be deeply poisoned, otherwise Jiang Beiheng will see through me, how can I find the antidote?]

"Um... Jiang Beiheng, I, Du Qingwan, am not an unreasonable person. I don't understand a single word you said just now."

Du Qingwan suddenly stopped talking here, chuckled twice, and looked very embarrassed.

It’s not that she didn’t understand what Jiang Beiheng was saying, but she was not interested in it.

Seeing Jiang Beiheng hanging his head, looking thoughtful, Du Qingwan was worried that she would anger him, so she quickly said:

“However, I am a little curious. Since you promised Queen Mother Qiao to plant a Gu in me, your purpose was to take me back to Daye.

Do you know that this poison makes me suffer a fate worse than death every night?

I'm afraid I'll die on the way before I even get to Daye."

Jiang Beiheng had expected Du Qingwan to have such doubts, and soon he couldn't help but sneered:

"You won't die. The reason you suffer from bone-eating pain every night is because Queen Mother Qiao is using her blood to feed the poisonous insects."

"Once the poisonous insect consumes Queen Mother Qiao's blood, it will take effect and gnaw at your bones and blood like crazy."

"And your mind slowly fades away, and you can't even control yourself.

As long as you hear this soul-catching bell, you will naturally come to find me and follow me..."

What shocked Du Qingwan completely was that Empress Dowager Qiao went to such extremes to trick him back to Daye.

His uneasy gaze suddenly fixed on the soul-catching bell hanging around Jiang Beiheng's waist, and his heart suddenly felt very uneasy.

"You...you are so despicable and shameless! I am afraid of you!"

"It is said that the soul-stealing technique has been lost for nearly twenty years. Even the Gu Master of Loulan, known as the Gu City of the Western Regions, cannot find the antidote for this technique. Where did you learn it from? Do you have an antidote?"

At this time, Du Qingwan was a little excited. While scolding angrily, she subconsciously reached out to snatch the soul-catching bell that Jiang Beiheng had tied around his waist.

But he was immediately stopped by Jiang Beiheng.

"Miss Du, please forgive me for not being able to do as you wish! This soul-stealing technique has indeed been lost, and I learned it from my master unintentionally.

But before my master could teach me the solution, he was killed by the thieves, so..."

Jiang Beiheng was talking when he suddenly stopped talking and let out one sigh after another.

Du Qingwan lost her composure when she heard that and stomped her feet in anger.

"Oh my god! Jiang Beiheng, are you kidding me?

There is no antidote, what kind of poison did you put on me?"

"You...you are seriously deceiving the emperor! You deserve to be killed! Do you understand?

If Queen Mother Qiao knew that you only brought me back to Daye but could not remove the poison from my body, she would definitely not let you go!"

"Don't you have a brain? Why did Queen Mother Qiao ask me to go back to Daye?

Because I know a lot of things and can help her unify the world!"

After learning that the poison in her body could not be cured, Du Qingwan gave up and felt extremely aggrieved.

It turns out that all her efforts were in vain!

She originally thought that she could get the secret recipe for the antidote from Jiang Beiheng by using the same trick he used, so she planned this game carefully.

Who would have thought that Jiang Beiheng would now confess to her that the soul-stealing technique [Guixin Poison] could not be removed at all!

The most fatal thing is that she actually fell into Jiang Beiheng's hands and had to wait pitifully for Wanyan Hongze to rescue her!

She is simply trying to steal a chicken but ends up losing the rice.
