As night falls, the bright white moon hangs in the sky.

After Jiang Qi returned from Prince Ping's Mansion, he calmed down and went straight into the study.

"Are you sure Cuixianju is second brother's property?"

Jiang Qi sat on the carved sandalwood chair behind the desk, looking at his confidant Jiang Yu kneeling respectfully in the study, and asked in an ambiguous voice.

"Your Highness, we have already found out that the owner of Cuixianju is Feng Ziyi, who is also an aide to Prince De."

When Jiang Yu heard the question, he looked up and glanced at Jiang Qi, then continued to report the details of his subordinates' inquiries.

"Ha ha……"

"Since that's the case, I can only give my second brother a great gift!"

Jiang Qi looked at the bright moon outside the window, exerted force with his hand, and with a "click", the pen broke.

At this moment, the servant Ping'an's voice was heard outside the study door.

"Princess, please stay. His Highness is busy with official business in the study and has instructed that he will not see anyone!"

Xu Shanshan, who was dressed gorgeously and supported by a maid, had a flash of concern in her eyes when she heard this, and her tone also showed her worry for Prince Qi.

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer. I hope you take care of yourself."

"This is the lily and lotus root soup I ordered today. Please bring it to His Majesty safely."

As Xu Shanshan spoke, she signaled with her eyes to the maid Chunyu beside her to hand the food box in her hand to Ping'an. Chunyu was also smart. Seeing this, she took out a purse filled with reward money and gave it to Ping'an.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for the trouble. I will take the soup to the prince right away!"

Ping'an had a smile on his face. He happily took the silver, took the soup and brought it into the study.

Xu Shanshan turned around and left with Chunyu. When they were far away, the expression on her face suddenly changed and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

Ah!

What does it mean that the couple is in harmony and has deep love?

Even a servant could enter the study at will, but she, a princess, had never entered it.

Everyone said that Princess Qi and Prince Qi were a loving couple, but who knew that they had never slept together since she became pregnant with Mingchen?

Prince Jin's Mansion

That night, around Chou time

The lights in Prince Jin's mansion were lit up again.

The sound of swords and guns clashing came from outside the yard. Mu Jiaojiao and Jiang Jin hurriedly got up at the same time, put on their outer clothes, opened the door and asked.

"Come here, what happened?"

The incident happened suddenly. Wushuang and Yunyu, who were guarding outside Jiang Jin and Mu Jiaojiao's room, heard Jiang Jin's voice. Wushuang respectfully replied, "Your Highness, a thief broke into the palace at night. Li Huan has brought people to arrest him!"

Jiang Jin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, had a fierce look in his eyes when he heard this. It seemed that he had not been in Yudu for the past two years, and these people had forgotten his methods.

Upon hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao asked Yunyu. She looked around and found that Huaizhu was not there. It was likely that the girl had gone to protect the two younger ones, but she still couldn't help but worry.

"Is there anyone with Zhao'er and Xiao'er?"

"Don't worry, Princess. Wen Xingchu and Huaizhu are both with the young prince."

Yunyu looked around warily, and was distracted while answering Mu Jiaojiao. Tang Mu Jiaojiao relaxed.

The fight lasted for about a cup of tea. The fighters' martial arts were not very strong, so the secret guards around Jiang Jin didn't even have to make a move before they were all taken care of!

After a while, two adult men dressed in black and wrapped tightly from head to toe were escorted in front of the carved door of the main hall of Lingyunxuan.

"Your Highness, we were a group of ten, and we captured two alive. The others are all dead!"

The knife in Li Huan's hand was still dripping with blood. With a solemn expression, he looked at the person on the ground and reported the situation to Jiang Jin.

Mu Jiaojiao was really surprised to see Li Huan, who was dressed in elegant clothes and looked like a butler on weekdays, holding a big knife and with blood on his face.

After all, ever since she came to Prince Jin's Mansion, Li Huan has been helping Li Qi manage the mansion, and he also plays the role of coachman to drive the carriage for her and Jiang Jin on a daily basis. She could see that this man had martial arts skills, but she didn't expect that his martial arts were so good. The key point was that he was dressed as a scholar and butler and carried a sword, which really surprised her.

"Take him away and find out who's behind this!"

Jiang Jin looked at the two people in the yard, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and there seemed to be ice in his tone.

At this moment, the two men in black, whose jaws had been removed to prevent them from committing suicide by taking poison, suddenly had their eyes white, and then blood slowly flowed from their seven orifices. They fell to the ground and could not get up after a while.

Then a centipede crawled out from the eyes of the two men and disappeared into the night before anyone was paying attention.

Everyone was shocked. Seeing this, Wushuang and Yunyu stood in front of Mu Jiaojiao and Jiang Jin to prevent any further accidents.

Behind the crowd, Mu Jiaojiao thought about the scene she had seen before, with a thoughtful look in her eyes. If she was right, these two people were poisoned by a Gu, a kind of Gu that controls people.

After a while, Li Huan saw that the two men were completely motionless, so he stepped forward to check. He felt the pulse of their necks and found that they had completely stopped breathing.

"Your Majesty, the man is dead."

Upon hearing this, the people standing in front of Mu Jiaojiao and Jiang Jin stepped aside, allowing Jiang Jin and Mu Jiaojiao to see the situation of the people in front of them more clearly.

The blood flowing from the two men's seven orifices fell on the grass on the ground, causing the grass to wither and turn yellow in an instant.

"This poison is really powerful!"

Li Huan stood in front, looking at the withered grass and smelling the faint fishy smell in the air, and couldn't help but speak out.

"This isn't poison, it's a Gu!"

Mu Jiaojiao looked at the scene where no one refuted Du and spoke lightly.

It's strange to say, this is the second time she has seen Gu. The first time was on Zhao Jianjia's body, and the second time was tonight.

"My lady, do you know what kind of Gu this is that is so powerful?"

When Jiang Jin heard Mu Jiaojiao's words, a fierce look flashed in his eyes. Gu magic was usually popular among the witches in southern Xinjiang, but now it appeared in Dayu.

"This Gu is called 'Spirit Gu'. It's a mother-child Gu. The mother Gu is nurtured with blood by the Gu raiser, and the child Gu is implanted in the host's body. The implanted person will be controlled by the Gu raiser and have no independent consciousness, like a puppet.

The key is the control of this Gu. I'm afraid the person who raised it is near the palace. Seeing that things are not going well, he directly let the sub-Gu attack the host and escape!"

Mu Jiaojiao could naturally hear the caution in Jiang Jin's tone. For those who have never been involved in it, Gu is indeed very tricky.

"An Yi, go check!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jin gave an order to An Yi in the dark. He naturally understood what Mu Jiaojiao meant. He was afraid that the person who went there would have run away early, so he still wanted to see if there were any clues.

The Nanjiang Gu appeared openly in Dayu Yudu. I'm afraid the person who raised the Gu was also protected by someone. He only revealed himself a little when he knew that the person behind it wanted to kill him tonight.

"Li Huan, go report to the Jingzhao Yin and tell him that I have been assassinated and seriously injured."

Jiang Jin then gave instructions to Li Huan. He thought about it in his mind and then gave instructions to Li Huan.

After Prince Jin caused a joke in his mansion on his wedding day, he was assassinated the next day. What happened was enough for people outside to speculate.
