My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne

After her reminder, everyone looked around in the crowd and indeed did not see Lan Luo.

Chu Xinyue looked at Lan Zheng, who attacked anyone she saw, and felt a sense of foreboding. "Ali, do you think Lan Luo has met with an accident? Should we send someone to look for her?"

Lan Luo was the first person to chase out just now, and Lan Zheng's brain was invaded by a poisonous insect, and she no longer recognized her relatives. She even dared to kill the person she loved deeply, let alone Lan Luo, her sister who was not on good terms with her?

Chu Xinyue was worried that if something happened to Lan Luo, the Nanzhao people would turn against him and put all the blame on the Cining Palace.

Xue Youli raised his hand and pointed to the large gilded copper vat placed against the wall not far away. "No need. Lan Luo is hiding behind that Taiping vat."

After Chu Xinyue discovered that Lan Luo was missing, she used the Book of Heavenly Secrets to search for Lan Luo's location on the spot.

Chu Xinyue turned her head to look at the Taiping jar, and sure enough, she saw a blue skirt peeking out from behind the jar, which was exactly the color of Lan Luo's skirt today.

She rushed over and stared down at Lan Luo, "Princess Lan Luo, your sister has gone crazy. Why didn't you notify anyone and hide here secretly?"

Lan Luo looked up and met Chu Xinyue's questioning gaze. There was no point in hiding, so he simply stood up from behind the large copper vat and said, "What do you know? Lan Zheng is not crazy at all, she's been poisoned!"

Xue Youli looked at the determined expression in her eyes and asked tentatively, "Then do you know how to remove the Puppet Gu?"

Lan Luo met her questioning gaze and replied word by word, "Do you know when the puppet poison will manifest in a person? Only when the poison worms invade the brain and eat the host's brain will the puppet be completely controlled by the mother poison! You have also seen the situation of my fourth sister. She is now a living dead! There is no way to save her!"

In fact, Xue Youli had checked the Book of Heavenly Secrets, and the answer given by the Book of Heavenly Secrets was almost the same as what Lan Luo said.

Since Lan Luo knew that being infected by the puppet poison was no different from being dead, then Lan Zheng must also know it.

But in order to help Murong Ye seize the throne, she deliberately used blood amber to harm Chu Xinyue.

So she deserves the consequences of her own actions and does not deserve sympathy.

Chu Xinyue thought of Lan Zheng's zombie-like appearance and patted her chest with lingering fear. "Ali, it's a good thing you saw that there was something wrong with that piece of blood amber at the first sight. Otherwise, I would be the one hacking people around like a zombie today!"

Xue Youli saw her frightened face and reached out to squeeze her hand. "With me here, no one can harm you."

Chu Xinyue hugged her arms, tilted her head, and leaned on her shoulder. "It's Ali who gave me the sense of security today. I'm so happy!"

As soon as she finished speaking, another guard's scream came from behind her.

Immediately afterwards, the concubine also screamed in panic.

"Monster! Princess Lan Zheng has turned into a monster! Everyone, run for your lives!"

Chu Xinyue immediately let go of Xue Youli and turned to look behind her. "Ali, Lan Zheng is just a puppet now. Should we destroy her?"

Xue Youli turned around and looked at the people fleeing in all directions, frowning. "Puppets don't feel pain, they just keep hurting people. Even if Lan Zheng was beaten to the point where only one arm was left, she would still swing the knife with that arm and continue to chop people."

Lan Luo rolled his eyes and replied, "There's a way to destroy the puppets in Nanzhao..."

"I know." Xue Youli interrupted her before she could finish her words, "Princess Lanluo, I know what you are planning. You want Lan Zheng to die in the palace of Jiuzhou, so that the two countries will fall out because of her. That way, you won't need to stay and get married, right?"

Lan Luo's secret thoughts were exposed, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. "My fourth sister is dead anyway, why can't her death be more meaningful? If her death can allow me to return to Nanzhao, I will burn paper to worship her every year on this day. What's wrong with that?"

Her father had more than a dozen daughters, but because she and her fourth sister were not favored, they became sacrifices offered by Nanzhao to Jiuzhou.

She just wanted to go back and live a good life.

If Lan Zheng's life could buy her happiness and freedom for the rest of her life, then of course she would plan for herself?

Chu Xinyue listened to their conversation and asked curiously, "Ali, what method did Lan Luo mention?"

"Use fire. As long as the puppet is burned to ashes, not only will Lan Zheng no longer be able to harm anyone, but the parasitic poison in her brain will also be burned to death. But—"

Xue Youli couldn't help but emphasize the last two words, "The decision to burn Lan Zheng must be made by General Meng Shi."

Lan Zheng can die in the palace, but she cannot die at the hands of any Jiuzhou person.

If the Nanzhao Kingdom took advantage of the princess's death and made a desperate move to send troops to Jiuzhou, who knows whether those who are eager to create chaos in the world will take advantage of the war to do something else?

When the time comes, there will be internal and external troubles, not only will the common people suffer, but it will also be enough of a headache for Murong Che.

So, she couldn't let this happen.

Since Lan Luo confirmed that Lan Zheng could not be rescued, she had to stop Lan Zheng from hurting anyone else before Murong Che and General Meng Shi arrived.

"Ayue, let's go! Let's find a rope and tie up Lan Zheng first!"

Chu Xinyue quickly followed, "Okay!"

……

Zicheng Hall.

Murong Che looked at Yin Xuan'er's flustered look and said in a deep voice, "Don't panic, just talk properly! What happened?"

Yin Xuan'er looked up at the man's handsome face and calmed herself down. "Your Majesty, Princess Lan Zheng has been possessed by an evil spirit. She stabbed His Royal Highness the Virtuous Prince with such a long sword! She has become extremely terrifying. You should go and take a look!"

After she finished speaking, she thought of Xue Youli's instructions and quickly added, "Call General Meng Shi! Concubine Xue said that Meng Shi must go with us!"

Yin Xuan'er is the daughter of Duke Shen and the niece of the Queen Mother. She pays the most attention to etiquette.

However, in order to run over quickly to inform Murong Che about Lan Zheng, her hair was disheveled and her skirt was lifted up, but she didn't even notice it.

Although Murong Che didn't know what had happened to Lan Zheng, he could feel that this matter was of great importance.

Coupled with Xue Youli's instructions, he didn't delay and immediately looked up and ordered, "Wang Defa, send someone to call Meng Shi immediately!"

"Yes!"

So, a quarter of an hour later, Murong Che called Meng Shi and went to the Cining Palace together.

"The Emperor is coming! The Emperor is coming!"

The entrance to the Cining Palace was already in chaos. Someone shouted something, and everyone turned their heads. Sure enough, they saw the emperor's procession stopped not far away.

"Meet the Emperor!"

Everyone hurriedly saluted Murong Che.

"Be flat."

Murong Che glanced around and saw Xue Youli in the crowd.

He immediately waved to Xue Youli, "Xue Pin, tell me, what happened here?"

Xue Youli pointed to the small garden not far from the Cining Palace and said to them, "Your Majesty, Princess Lan Zheng not only seriously injured His Royal Highness the Virtuous Prince, but also injured three guards. We all thought she was possessed by an evil spirit, but from what Princess Lan Luo said, Princess Lan Zheng must have been possessed by a puppet poison."

Before she could finish her words, Meng Shi beside her said in a deep voice, "Impossible! We came to Jiuzhou this time to ensure long-term peaceful coexistence between our two countries. How could we use puppet Gu to harm others? Moreover, once the puppet Gu is planted on a person, they are useless. How dare we plant it on the princess?"

Xue Youli pursed her lips slightly, "General Meng, don't get excited. Why don't you take the Gu Master to check on Princess Lan Zheng first, and then make a conclusion?"

"There's no point in arguing at this point. They're all from Nanzhao. They can tell if Lan Zheng is poisoned just by looking at her."

Meng Shi did not refuse. He turned to the other two Nanzhao generals accompanying him and said, "Okay! You should also come with me to take a look!"

Murong Che glanced at Lan Luo who was standing by the wall and said, "Princess Lan Luo, please go too."

Lan Luo was the first witness to Lan Zheng's crime, so naturally she had to be present.

Lan Luo didn't refuse. He nodded and followed.

Seeing this, Chu Xinyue took Xue Youli's hand and said, "Let's go and take a look too!"

In the open space in the garden, Lan Zheng was tied tightly with two large iron chains as thick as arms.

The four iron chains were held in the hands of four imperial guards.

Lan Zheng's eyes were empty, and she used brute force to try to shake them off.

She was incredibly strong and completely indefatigable.

While Lan Zheng was struggling, the four tall and strong imperial guards could hardly hold on to the chains.

Seeing their feet moving left and right uncontrollably, Chu Xinyue was really worried for them.

"Ali, do you think Lan Zheng will be able to break free from the chains?"

"It's hard to say. Lan Zheng is like a tireless NPC right now. If we don't destroy her, once the imperial guards give up and let her escape, everyone present might end up in trouble!"

Xue Youli looked at the imperial guard's face, which had turned purple, and quietly pulled the sleeve of Murong Che next to him.

[Murong Che, Murong Che, hurry up and have Meng Shi and the others identify whether Lan Zheng is infected with Gu, and what kind of Gu it is? Once you've confirmed it, quickly burn Lan Zheng. No, to be more precise, burn Lan Zheng's body!]

Murong Che glanced at the imperial guards who were pulling the chains.

Lan Zheng suddenly exerted force, and their feet followed the chains and moved uncontrollably towards Lan Zheng.

Lan Zheng's dress was stained with blood, and her body was covered in wounds. Her wrists and ankles were left with bloody marks from the chains, but she seemed to feel no pain at all, and she grabbed the chains with her hands and tried hard to break free!

Seeing them getting closer and closer to Lan Zheng, Murong Che immediately asked, "General Meng, the Gu Master is right next to you. Look carefully, has Princess Lan Zheng been poisoned by a Gu?"

Meng Shi had just met the two princesses a few days ago, and he didn't notice anything unusual about Lan Zheng at that time.

However, at this moment, Lan Zheng's face had a blank and numb expression. Although her body was covered with wounds, she did not feel any pain at all.

She felt someone coming towards her, baring her teeth and struggling even more violently.

Murong Che turned to look at Meng Shi, "General Meng, I've heard a bit about your Nanzhao Gu. Since you've brought a Gu Master here, why don't you let him identify on the spot whether the Gu Princess Lan Zheng is infected with is actually a puppet Gu?"
