The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

But just this one glance made Shen Qingyan feel like she was struck by lightning and was shocked.

Because she was very familiar with that face.

That was Gu Beihuai's face.

To be precise, it was an old version of Gu Beihuai's face.

This man looked to be several decades older than Gu Beihuai, with grey hair and face full of traces of time, but his outstanding facial features were exactly the same as Gu Beihuai's.

She knew Gu Beihuai's life experience, and also knew that he and the guards who protected him were the only ones alive in the entire Zhaoxing Kingdom. So who was this person?

Zi Su didn't care about Shen Qingyan who was standing there in a daze, she ran quickly towards the passage she came from.

At this moment, the old man who looked like Gu Beihuai rushed to the door again, causing the iron chain to make a harsh sound. He opened his mouth to speak, but could only make hoarse sounds and violent gasps. He had no choice but to keep winking.

Only then did Shen Qingyan realize that he had no tongue.

And his action just now was to remind himself that Shisu had run away.

Shen Qingyan came back to her senses, picked up a stone and threw it at the fleeing Zi Su.

The stone hit Zi Su's knee, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground.

Shen Qingyan quickly came in front of her and looked down at her.

Zi Su seemed to be greatly stimulated, and her speech was a little slurred, "Miss Yan, please let me go, let me go!"

Shen Qingyan frowned and had no intention of letting her leave.

"Shiso, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of that person?"

Zi Su nodded suddenly and kindly advised: "Miss Yan, you should leave as well. He is a lunatic and he will eat people!"

Shen Qingyan squatted down and looked at her.

"Tell me, who is he?"

Seeing Shen Qingyan so calm, Zi Su seemed less scared and organized her words.

"I don't know his true identity either. I only know that he is a puppet raised by His Highness for many years, and that he has been planted with more than a dozen poisonous insects..."

More than a dozen!

Shen Qingyan took a breath of cold air. He was infected with more than a dozen kinds of poisonous insects but was still alive. He was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Any more?"

Zi Su racked his brains and finally found some information.

"His Highness took him very seriously. In addition to implanting various poisonous insects in him, he also often tortured him with many instruments of torture, and even cut off his tongue. His Highness did not give him any food, and only threw servants who had made mistakes into the prison. There were many bones in it... Also, when I fought him just now, I found that he only had one hand..."

After hearing this, Shen Qingyan had a general understanding of this person's situation.

But his origins remain unknown.

Ziyuan hadn't come back yet, so Shen Qingyan didn't dare to let her guard down against Zisu, so she simply tied her up next to the stone table.

Then he walked towards the Butterfly Cave.

Seeing this, Zi Su shouted anxiously.

"Miss Yan, you can't go over there!"

Shen Qingyan turned around and looked at her. Zi Su was a nice person, but it was a pity that she belonged to Mu Weiye.

When Shen Qingyan approached, the iron chain immediately made a sound, and the old man who looked like Gu Beihuai rushed over and smiled at her.

That smile was not really friendly. For some reason, the old man's teeth were all sharp and seemed to be stained with blood, like a wild beast. When he smiled, the wrinkles on his face were almost connected together, and his eyes were bloodshot and sinister. He did not look like a normal person at all.

Fortunately, Shen Qingyan had a strong psychological quality and asked without changing her expression.

"who are you?"

The old man grinned again and said nothing.

He held out his good right hand and waved his index and middle fingers back and forth.

Shen Qingyan understood that this meant for her to leave quickly.

Just when Shen Qingyan was about to ask further questions, the old man suddenly let out a wild beast roar and grabbed at her like a madman.

Shen Qingyan quickly dodged backwards, and at this moment, a sound was heard in the passage.

Ziyuan came hurriedly, with an indescribable expression on her face, and she even shuddered after meeting Shen Qingyan's gaze.

Shen Qingyan frowned. Is she that scary?

Shion swallowed and spoke somewhat stiffly.

"Miss Yan, I have seen the princess."

Shen Qingyan immediately asked impatiently: "Then what? What does he look like? Is there a portrait?"

She really wanted to know who this so-called princess was. If it was Gu Ruxiao, then all her efforts would be in vain.

Shion swallowed and slowly took something out of her arms.

Shen Qingyan stared at it nervously, only to find that what she took out was a small bronze mirror, which she then held in front of her.

"Miss Yan, this is what the princess looks like."

"..."

Shen Qingyan finally reacted.

"You mean, she looks exactly like me?"

Shion nodded vigorously, with a strange look on her face, "Exactly the same."

How can this be?

Could it be that Gui Ren and Gui Zhao really found someone who looks exactly like her in a short period of time?

Sure they can.

"And then? Did your Highness see it?"

Shion nodded. "His Highness was furious and said that it was not the princess. The tendons of Ghost Blade and Ghost Zhao's hands and feet were cut, and they are about to be sent to the Black Snake Cave and the Centipede Cave."

"And the princess?"

Ziyuan shook her head. "Your Highness was alone in a room with her. I don't know what they talked about. I think she will be here soon."

Shen Qingyan was a little bit expectant. She really wanted to see what the fake princess who looked exactly like her looked like.

But the first ones to arrive were Guiren and Guizhao.

The two were dragged like two dead fish and thrown into the Black Snake Cave and the Centipede Cave.

Shen Qingyan didn't even get to say a word.

The black-clad men who dragged them here were wrapped tightly and moved stiffly, which made Shen Qingyan confused. When she spoke to them, they acted as if they didn't hear her.

Ziyuan whispered, "Miss Yan, please stop shouting. They are puppets raised by His Highness. They only obey His Highness and cannot hear what others say."

What?

Shen Qingyan's eyes widened. She had heard of puppetry before and thought it was just nonsense, but she didn't expect it to really exist.

And it was also developed by Mu Weiye.

So she quickly asked: "Besides only obeying Mu Weiye, does this puppet have any other characteristics?"

Ziyuan thought about it and said very honestly: "Invulnerable to swords and guns, unharmed by water and fire, and extremely powerful."

"..."

Shen Qingyan pondered for a moment and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"How many puppets like this does Mu Weiye have?"

Ziyuan shook her head, "They usually hide in the dark and only come out when Your Highness summons them. I don't know either."

Shen Qingyan knew that she had underestimated Mu Weiye's ability before. If he had a large number of puppets, what chances would Gu Beihuai have of winning if he faced him?

But before Gu Beihuai confronted Mu Weiye, she confronted him first.

The dull and suppressed footsteps slowly came from the passage. Zisu and Ziyuan changed their expressions and said anxiously.

"Miss Yan, the prince is here!"
