My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne
Chapter 184: Dead or Not
The smelly socks belong to Murong Ye.
Last time, Murong Nan took advantage of being drunk and Murong Ye asked for his socks, and today they finally came in handy.
Chu Xinyue felt excited just thinking about it.
Since Murong Ye chose to take action today, he would definitely not miss such a wonderful show!
Fighting against the heaven and the earth is not as exciting as fighting against the hero and heroine you created!
Xue Youli met her shining eyes and nodded gently, "Lan Zheng's eyes are obviously unfocused. Please start your performance."
"Okay, watch me!"
Chu Xinyue winked at Xue Youli, then stood up with a plate of cakes. "Princess, it's a rare opportunity for you to visit the palace. Come and try our famous Jiuzhou osmanthus cake. It's delicious!"
She walked towards Lan Zheng and Lan Luo enthusiastically, and just as she was about to reach the sisters, she secretly tripped over her right foot with her left foot.
"Eh eh eh——"
Chu Xinyue's body suddenly lost balance and she staggered and fell towards Lan Zheng.
However, she did not fall on Lan Zheng. Instead, she took advantage of everyone's inattention and quickly put the purse containing the smelly socks under Lan Zheng's nose.
Lan Zheng sat in her seat, looking at Chu Xinyue who fell towards her. Her expression did not change at all, and her butt did not move at all.
The concubines sitting nearby heard the noise and turned their eyes to them.
When they saw Chu Xinyue falling on Lan Zheng, they covered their mouths and cried out in shock, "Oh my God!"
Just when everyone thought that Lan Zheng was going to be dragged down by Chu Xinyue and were waiting to see them both make a fool of themselves, Chu Xinyue calmly raised her hand and lightly slapped the back of the chair where Lan Luo was sitting next to her with her palm, and with the help of her clever strength, she stabilized her body in an instant.
"Ouch! Yue'er, are you okay?" Queen Mother Yin's heart was in her throat when she saw Chu Xinyue almost fall.
Chu Xinyue curled the corners of her lips, smiled and shook her head, "It's okay!"
Queen Mother Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I was really scared just now!"
Rong Qingyue, who was sitting to the left of Queen Mother Yin, also patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, Princess Kang is very agile. She scared me quite a bit just now!"
As they were talking, a whistle with a strange tone suddenly came from outside.
The moment Xue Youli heard the whistle, he turned his head and his eyes met Chu Xinyue's in mid-air.
They exchanged glances and looked at Lan Zheng calmly.
The sharp and long whistle makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Yin Xuan'er frowned and turned her gaze to Queen Mother Yin. "Aunt, did you hire a musician? Why does the musician's flute sound so bad?"
Like her, others also mistook the whistle for the sound of a flute. "Yeah, that flute sound is really harsh."
Only Lan Luo knew that this was the whistle used by Nanzhao to trigger the puppet Gu.
Although she had never cast a spell on anyone, as a Nanzhao person, she was no stranger to the whistle.
Her lover's Gu has not been successfully refined yet, so it seems that the whistle must be related to her fourth sister.
Thinking of this, Lan Luo subconsciously turned to look at Lan Zheng who was sitting next to him.
However, the moment the whistle sounded, Lan Zheng stood up from her seat as if she had received some kind of instruction, turned around and strode outside.
Lan Luo only had time to see Lan Zheng's back as she hurried away.
She guessed that Lan Zheng might have chosen the target to cast the curse on during the autumn hunt.
Could it be that the person who was poisoned was Concubine Xue’s elder brother?
Lan Luo guessed for a moment and saw that Lan Zheng had already walked out of the hall.
She immediately stood up and said to Queen Mother Yin, "Your Highness, my fourth sister is timid and might have been frightened by the accident just now. She wants to go out for some fresh air. I'll go see her!"
After saying that, Lan Luo bowed to Queen Mother Yin, then quickly chased after her.
Chu Xinyue also hurriedly said, "Empress Dowager, it was Yue'er who frightened the Princess of Nanzhao. Yue'er should go out and take a look."
Empress Dowager Yin thought that Lan Zheng was a guest who came from afar after all, and it would not be good if she was frightened in the Cining Palace and the news got out.
So, she waved her hand to Chu Xinyue and said, "Okay, go and take a look. If she feels unwell, ask the imperial physician to come and see her."
"it is good."
Chu Xinyue responded and chased in the direction Lan Zheng left.
Xue Youli rolled her eyes and stood up, saying, "Empress Dowager, I know a little about medicine, so why don't you go out with me? If anything happens, I can respond in time."
Queen Mother Yin thought that this was indeed the case and said, "You should go too."
Seeing that they had all left, how could the remaining concubines in the palace sit still?
"Empress Dowager, why don't we all go and take a look? If the news gets back to Nanzhao that the Nanzhao princess has been frightened here, the king of Nanzhao will think we have neglected the two princesses."
Queen Mother Yin knew that these women were not favored and were bored in the harem without any entertainment, so they naturally wanted to join in the fun and pass the time.
Since she didn't stop the people who left earlier, she naturally wouldn't detain them here. "If you want to go, go out."
"Yes."
So everyone immediately put down the cakes and teacups in their hands and rushed out to join in the fun.
At this moment, Lan Zheng walked out of the Cining Palace step by step in the direction where the whistle came from.
There is a distance of more than ten feet between the outer wall of Cining Palace and the wall of Shoukang Palace next door, forming a small alley.
Lan Zheng walked into the alley with stiff steps.
When Murong Ye saw her, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He then put away the whistle in his mouth and strode towards her. "How is it? Did it work out?"
Lan Zheng did not answer his question, but lowered her head, her hands groping for something at her waist.
Murong Ye looked at her unhurried appearance and suddenly became anxious, "I'm asking you a question! Did Chu Xinyue take action after hearing the whistle? Was Xue Youli killed? Is she dead or not..."
puff!
Before Murong Ye could finish his question, Lan Zheng had already pulled out a soft sword from her waist and stabbed it into his abdomen without hesitation.
Murong Ye was always wondering whether his whistle had successfully activated the poisonous insect in Chu Xinyue's body, and he was completely unprepared for Lan Zheng.
At this moment, facing Lan Zheng's sudden sneak attack, he was completely stunned.
The long sword stabbed a deep wound in his abdomen, and blood gushed out along the sword.
"Why, why?"
Murong Ye raised his head with great effort, his pale handsome face full of disbelief, "Zheng'er, why do you treat me like this?"
But Lan Zheng ignored him completely, and even felt that the stab was not deep enough, so she continued to push hard with the hand holding the hilt of the sword.
Murong Ye's abdomen exploded with severe pain instantly. He felt as if countless sharp steel needles were stirring violently in the wound, and the pain made him almost faint!
He opened his eyes wide and stared at Lan Zheng, as if trying to find the answer from her face, "Why...?"
There was no expression on Lan Zheng's face, like a cold and lifeless puppet. Her eyes were without a trace of warmth and emotion.
Murong Ye looked at her, and in a flash, a terrible guess flashed through his mind.
Is it...
Do not!
How can this be?
It was Lan Zheng who broke the blood amber that sealed the poisonous insect with her own hands. She also told him in person that Chu Xinyue was infected with the puppet poisonous insect.
Why did he feel that Lan Zheng standing in front of him was more like someone controlled by a puppet Gu?
Seeing Lan Zheng grabbing the hilt of the sword, she wanted to stab him to death.
He endured the heart-wrenching pain in his abdomen and used all his strength to slap Lan Zheng.
Lan Zheng was immediately knocked away, her back hit the palace wall, and then she fell heavily to the ground.
Murong Ye used too much force, and his chest felt like it was churning with pain.
The next moment, he felt a fishy-sweet taste in his throat.
He tilted his head to the side and spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, Lan Zheng seemed to feel no pain at all. After getting up from the ground, she continued to rush towards Murong Ye.
If Murong Ye was just guessing just now, now looking at Lan Zheng's expression and actions, he was sure that Lan Zheng was the one who was poisoned!
But Murong Ye was puzzled. Lan Zheng was from Nanzhao, and planting the Gu should have been a piece of cake for her. Why did she plant the Gu on Chu Xinyue with her own hands, but in the end the puppet Gu invaded her brain?
What exactly is the problem?
Before he could figure out what was going on, Lan Zheng rushed in front of him again and reached out to pull out the soft sword stuck in his abdomen!
