Chu Yunxi was silent for a while, then asked, "When did you know my identity?"

"Just now, when I was about to tell you about the remains of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, I learned about it. Chu Yunxi, your acting skills are really good. Not only did you deceive me, but you also deceived Jun Xiang and made him sad for you. Even so, I still told you the news, but you just wanted to leave. In this way, are you worthy of Uncle Luo Chen's life-saving grace?"

It turns out that the person who saved the eight-year-old original owner Chu Yunxi was Wan Luochen. Chu Yunxi was shocked and her mind raced.

"He saved me, and I have done what I promised to do for him. I have delivered the message, and now we are even. From now on, whatever I do will be my own choice and has nothing to do with anyone else. But Zhuoma, don't make yourself sound so noble. You didn't believe me from the beginning, otherwise, why would you poison me?"

"Haha, well said. No wonder you were able to save your life by marrying into the Dingbei Palace when the entire family of the Loyal and Brave Marquis was executed, and you were able to marry into the Dingbei Palace when you were a criminal. I underestimated you. If it weren't for this precaution, I'm afraid I would really fall into your hands today."

Zhuoma stared at Chu Yunxi fiercely, "Now that you can't be used by me, I will definitely not let you go out. I will use your head to sacrifice to the Lord first."

Chu Yunxi's face changed, and with a flick of her wrist, she had the needle crossbow in her hand, aiming it at Zhuoma. However, Zhuoma blew out an unknown sound, and Chu Yunxi felt as if something had bitten her heart, causing her to lose all her strength in an instant. She fell to the ground in pain and rolled over.

The door was kicked open with a loud bang, and Wen Rulan appeared at the door holding Xiao Junxiang hostage. He looked fierce, with blood all over his body and face, as if he had walked out of hell. He had obviously been through a fierce fight. At this moment, he put his sword against Xiao Junxiang's neck and said to Zhuoma in a stern voice, "Release Chuchu, remove the poison from her body, and let us go, or I will kill him."

Zhuoma's face changed drastically, and she also said sternly: "If you dare to hurt Jun Xiang, I will tear you and your servant into pieces."

Wen Rulan sneered and used force on her hands to cut a hole in Xiao Junxiang's neck. Blood immediately oozed out. Xiao Junxiang cried out in pain and gritted his teeth and said, "Zhuoma, let them go."

"But she knows too much." Zhuoma looked at Xiao Junxiang, hesitant.

Xiao Junxiang said: "Anyway, she is in southern Xinjiang now and can't rush back to the capital. Uncle and the others should have taken action. She can't threaten us."

Zhuoma frowned in thought. Wen Rulan saw that Chu Yunxi's face was pale with pain and her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, but she bit her lips tightly and did not utter a cry of pain.

Wen Rulan felt distressed and said sternly, "Hurry up and remove the poison from Chuchu's body."

"No, I can change someone. I can control her poison from taking effect, but I can't remove it. I have to make sure she doesn't talk nonsense. When our great cause succeeds, whether she says anything or not will have no impact on us. I can naturally remove the poison from her body."

After Zhuoma finished speaking, she blew that strange sound again, and Chu Yunxi's heartache quickly disappeared. She covered her heart and stood up with a pale face.

"Chu Chu, how are you?" Wen Rulan asked anxiously without loosening her hold.

Chu Yunxi shook her head. She hadn't fully recovered yet, but she was much better. However, she and Wen Rulan both knew that these people's so-called great cause would never succeed. If they failed, would she have to be buried with them?

But he obviously couldn't say that at the moment, otherwise it would anger them or arouse their suspicion, and then the two of them might not be able to leave.

"Senior Brother, let's go." Chu Yunxi endured the pain and walked to Wen Rulan with unsteady steps. She looked up and saw that Xiao Junxiang's eyes were full of worry.

Chu Yunxi was startled, and then she heard him ask softly: "Are you...really the concubine of King Dingbei?"

Chu Yunxi paused for a moment, then nodded, "Sorry, I told you, we've known each other for too short a time, and we don't understand each other very well."

Xiao Junxiang smiled bitterly, "It's just my wishful thinking. I think it's too simple."

Chu Yunxi said to Wen Rulan: "Let him go, let's go."

Wen Rulan took down the sword, pushed Xiao Junxiang over, then grabbed Chu Yunxi's arm and flew out.

The secret guards outside rushed out and surrounded the two men. Xiao Junxiang walked out and said in a deep voice: "Let them go."

The secret guards did not move, watching Zhuoma slowly walk out of the room. Zhuoma had a gloomy face and was hesitant to speak. Xiao Junxiang said, "You can control her with Gu anyway, so why do you have to keep her here?"

Zhuoma finally waved her hand, and the secret guards dispersed. Chu Yunxi glanced at Xiao Junxiang, who was staring at her intently. She wanted to say something, but her body was carried up by Wen Rulan, and after several ups and downs on the roof, everything fell behind her.

The discomfort in her heart was still lingering. After coming out of Zhuoma's mansion, as soon as Chu Yunxi landed on the ground, her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground. Wen Rulan hurriedly pulled her, and she felt a gust of wind passing by, and Chu Yunxi was already in someone's arms.

She was startled and was about to resist, but she smelled a familiar and reassuring scent. Her heart relaxed and her consciousness gradually became blurred.

Xiao Mubei hugged her tightly and asked Wen Rulan anxiously, "What happened to Yunxi?"

"She was bewitched by Zhuoma."

Gu? Xiao Mubei was shocked. He would never forget that his mother died from Gu magic. He didn't expect that Chu Yunxi was also poisoned by Gu. He was very anxious. "She... How is she now? Return to Beijing immediately. I must find someone to save her."

Wen Rulan stopped the panicked Xiao Mubei and said, "Your Highness, Chuchu is fine for now. She just had an attack and she is too weak now. But Zhuoma promised not to use the Gu technique for the time being, so Yunxi is safe for now. People in Southern Xinjiang are good at Gu. I think it is better to stay in Southern Xinjiang instead of returning to the capital. Maybe there will be more hope."

Xiao Mubei was so worried that he felt confused. At this moment, he felt clueless. There was only one thought in his mind, "I must not let Yunxi get into trouble."

He regretted it deeply at this moment. If he had known earlier, he should have stopped Chu Yunxi no matter what.

But it's too late to regret now.

After carrying Chu Yunxi back to the inn, Chu Zhongxi was also shocked to see the unconscious Chu Yunxi. Wen Rulan explained it to him again, and he was relieved a little. After thinking for a while, he said, "My lord, I do know a man who is good at Gu. He is an old man I saved during the war here before. At that time, I saw him cast Gu on dozens of Nandi soldiers and rescued many prisoners. Why don't we go find him and ask him to see if he can save Yunxi."
