I took over after the heroine of the abusive novel ran away

After leaving the palace, Qingli, who was following Liu Shu, could no longer hold back and said to Liu Shu with a strange look on her face.

"General, I heard that the Ninth Prince has been in and out of Nanfengfan frequently these days."

After saying that, Qingli couldn't help laughing.

Nanfengfan is a brothel in the capital. What makes it different from other brothels is that all the customers there are men.

When Qingli heard about it, she thought that the Ninth Prince had suddenly developed homosexuality.

But what she really didn't expect was that the Ninth Prince was not going there to enjoy himself, but to seek Buddhist scriptures, and he even used such tricks on his own girl.

I just... don't know whether I should praise the Ninth Prince for his efforts, or sympathize with my own girl.

The corners of Liu Shu's mouth twitched.

She didn't expect it, okay?

No normal person would have thought that Murong Xuan would do this.

Because of Murong Xuan's wild thinking that could not be restrained by nine horses, even though Murong Xuan was a good candidate, she did not consider him.

Murong Xuan is not even qualified to be a knife, he is just a piece of rusty iron.

She was afraid of getting tetanus if she used him.

After leaving the palace, Liu Shu went straight back to the general's mansion.

Liu Shu did not lie to Murong Xuan. Lord Pei did ask her out, but he did not require her to keep the appointment.

She has something very important to do today.

It was a dark and windy night, with black clouds covering the moon and not a single ray of light visible, perfect for a night trip in fine clothes.

At this time, it had been seven days since Murong Cheng's death, and his coffin was placed in the Taiji Hall.

It was late at night, and the eunuch who was keeping guard was kneeling in front of the coffin, drowsy.

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew over, and the white fan moved with the wind, making a rustling sound.

The young eunuch who was leaning not far from the coffin suddenly felt a little hot. He yawned, rubbed his eyelids, opened his eyes confusedly, looked up, and was immediately frightened to the point of turning pale with cold sweat.

“Master…Master…Master!”

The young eunuch grabbed Murong Cheng's personal eunuch who was keeping vigil with him, and shouted incoherently with his teeth chattering.

"What's the matter? What are you shouting about?"

The eunuch leaning against the pillar slapped the young eunuch's hand away, muttered something, turned over and continued to sleep.

These little bastards came to disturb him when he finally got a chance to take a nap.

"Master, there's a fire. The emperor is burning, burning."

The eldest eunuch angrily slapped the young eunuch's hand away and said, "It's a fire, don't bother me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch opened his eyes and said, "Wait, there's a fire? What's on fire? Is the emperor on fire?"

The eunuch shuddered and his mind suddenly came to his senses. He stared at the coffin with wide eyes and suddenly turned pale with fear.

Green flames were seen coming out of the coffin containing Murong Cheng's body, and it seemed that something was burning inside.

"Ah~~~!"

A sharp scream came from the Taiji Hall, echoing in the night of the imperial palace.

Liu Mansion.

A black figure jumped over the courtyard wall into the mansion. The man in black was carrying a sack on his shoulder. Judging from the shape of the sack, it seemed that there was a person in it.

The man in black came to the backyard of Liu's house with familiarity and came to a rockery. He raised his hand and pressed lightly on a stone. The floor under the rockery slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading to the underground.

The man in black walked down without hesitation, and after she went down, the passage slowly closed.

Peace returned to the garden.

The man in black carried a sack and walked down the stairs. Below was a long passage with oil lamps lit on the walls. He walked straight ahead along the passage and came to a three-way intersection. He turned left and came to a closed secret room on the left.

In the secret room, a middle-aged man with a beard was leaning against the table, drowsy.

Until he heard footsteps outside, the sleeping man woke up instantly and looked at the man in black at the door with caution.

"it's me!"

Hearing the familiar voice, the middle-aged man immediately relaxed.

"It's so late, and you asked me to wait here. What's the plan? You're so mysterious. Don't you know that people need to rest more at night when they get older? Staying up late is very harmful to the body."

Doctor Luo kept complaining.

After throwing the sack onto the stone bed in the middle of the secret room, the man in black took off his mask, revealing himself to be Liu Shu.

"Of course there is something important."

As she spoke, she untied the sack, revealing the person inside.

When he saw the face of the person in the sack, Doctor Luo was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

"My goodness, Murong Cheng? Isn't he...he...dead?"

"Ah! Apparently dead."

Liu Shu walked to the shelf beside the bed and lifted the black cloth. She saw that the shelf was filled with various small knives, gauze, and bottles and jars of medicine.

Looking at Murong Cheng, whose face had turned blue on the stone bed, Doctor Luo looked a little suspicious and stretched out two fingers to touch the veins on Murong Cheng's neck.

The touch was cold, and after feeling it carefully for a long time, I finally felt a slight beating in my pulse.

Doctor Luo let go of her hand and looked at Liu Shu with some confusion.

"I say, girl, what on earth are you going to do?"

"Wait, let me sort this out first. Murong Cheng is not dead, but people outside say he has passed away, so you must have done this."

Doctor Luo clapped his hands and said with great relief.

"It's his fault. He's ungrateful."

"But, you got him but didn't kill him. Do you still have feelings for him? Oh, my dear girl, you can't be soft-hearted. Since you did it, you have to do it thoroughly. Isn't there a saying among scholars that goes like this? If you don't remove the roots, the grass will grow again in the spring breeze! If you don't kill him now, if this grandson finds a chance, you will be in trouble."

Doctor Luo followed behind Liu Shu, talking incessantly.

Liu Shu picked out a few bottles of poison from the shelf and placed them on the table next to the stone bed.

Of course she knew this truth, and she also wanted to get rid of Murong Cheng quickly and efficiently, but who told him to be the male protagonist? Unless other conditions were met, Murong Cheng could not die for the time being.

So he could only let him catch his breath reluctantly.

Seeing that Liu Shu didn't say anything, Doctor Luo ran to the stone bed and carefully examined Murong Cheng.

After a while, Doctor Luo looked at Liu Shu with a frown.

"How did you manage to make him fake his death? And his symptoms? Last time you asked me for the Tongxin Gu, you didn't use it on him! He has a son Gu, and what about the mother Gu? When the mother Gu is hit by a fatal blow, the son Gu will automatically bear the damage. This should be how he caused the phenomenon of fake death."

Liu Shu took out the box from the top shelf and threw it to Doctor Luo.

"The mother Gu is here."

Doctor Luo curiously opened the box and looked at the bugs inside. The corners of his mouth twitched and he looked at Liu Shu in disbelief.

"You're not going to tell me that you planted the mother insect in this cockroach!"

Liu Shu nodded and said, "Congratulations, you guessed it right."

"No, how can this be done?" Isn't it planted on people? I have never heard of planting it on insects.

"It turns out that nothing is impossible." Liu Shu said.

Doctor Luo was speechless for a moment.

No, he had traveled all over the world in his life and had seen everything, but he had never heard of such a strange thing.
