The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

Heli Hong was about to ask a question when the doctor, without waiting for her to speak, continued, "The internal organs can all be repaired with proper care and treatment, but the kidneys are the only ones that cannot be healed in a short time."

Therefore, Crown Princess and Crown Prince, please accept my condolences. Don't rush things regarding the birth of a child; haste makes waste.

Heli Hong was taken aback at first, then her face turned red. Bai Jianan suddenly stood up and shouted angrily at the doctor, "How dare you! Do you know what you're saying? I'll give you a chance to correct yourself. Say it again."

Upon hearing this, the doctor immediately knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "Your Highness, please calm down. My family has been practicing medicine for many years. This pulse diagnosis is absolutely correct. Your Highness has suffered severe physical and mental injuries and is no longer able to engage in sexual relations. If you wish to recover completely, please remember not to get angry!"

"Bullshit! I'm perfectly fine in that area. How could you, you old bastard, make such a disgusting claim about me? Men, beat him to death with sticks!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several guards came out of the door and dragged the old doctor away. The old doctor was unwilling and hurriedly shouted, "Young Master, spare my life! Young Master, spare my life! You can't be so blind as to wrong an innocent person!"

Bai Jianan suddenly laughed and said coldly, "Pah, so what if I want you dead? I am the heir of the Marquis of Qingyan. Damn it, you dare to say I'm impotent? I'll cripple you. Hong'er, don't worry, I'm just tired these past few days, I definitely don't have any problems in that area."

Seeing Bai Jianan's flustered explanation, Heli Hong's heart clenched slightly. She forced a smile but couldn't utter a single word.

She knew the domineering nature of the Gu worms, and she also knew how critically ill Bai Jianan had been. The doctor's words made perfect sense. Especially after he recovered, although Bai Jianan was very gentle with her, he never had any intention of marrying her. Originally, she thought that his love for her was not deep enough, but now she realized that it was he who was injured.

Her fists clenched slightly, tears welling in her red eyes, as she said to Bai Jianan, "Husband, don't worry, no matter what, I will never leave you."

She loved him for who he was, and as long as she was by his side, that was enough.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan was taken aback at first, then angrily pointed at Heli Hong and said, "What do you mean by that? Do you believe what that doctor said? You actually... Humph!"

Before Bai Jianan could finish speaking, he stormed off in anger. Heli Hong tried to stop him, but couldn't even grab the hem of Bai Jianan's clothes. Heli Hong slumped down on the stool in despair, but because he was too heartbroken, he didn't notice Bai Jianan's departing steps.

"Damn it, this is disgusting! How can such a wasteful man have such a vicious woman in love with him? It's infuriating!"

Hua Xiangrong rubbed her neck, threw the human skin and hood into the fire on the ground, and watched the human skin crackle as it burned in the fire, muttering a not-so-kind word.

Upon hearing this, Zang Feng chuckled and leaned against the tree trunk, saying, "Bai Jianan has been badly smeared by you this time. I really wonder how dumbfounded he will be when he finds out the truth. I really want to see what he looks like then."

A gentle breeze swept by, and Yan Xingzhi jumped down from the tree, holding up the mask in his hand and exclaiming, "When I first saw this, I was truly amazed. I never imagined that there would be a mask in this world that is more realistic than the Thousand-Faced Gentleman's mask, and it's not even made of human skin."

He held up the mask in his hand, speaking reluctantly, but Hua Xiangrong didn't even look up, saying disdainfully, "Burn it. I've never made such an ugly mask before."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xingzhi shook his head and said, "Really, it's a real pity to burn it. Keeping it as a memento is not bad either."

Zang Feng raised an eyebrow: "Could it be that you want to bring him back to life?"

Hua Xiangrong snorted, "Alright, alright, enough with the useless talk. Let's get things done. By the way, do I still need to go back and deal with that Heli Hong? Why not just give him some medicine and kill him?"

Yan Xingzhi laughed and said, "It's easy to say. She's covered in insects. If a mere poison could kill her so easily, what use would those Gu worms be? But don't rush, it's more interesting to keep her alive. The real show is about to begin."

After Bai Jianan left, Heli Hong felt a surge of irritation. She sat in the hall for a while before getting up to leave. Just then, a guard from the Assassin's Guild rushed in and handed her a letter: "Princess Consort, the Second Prince Murong Yu has sent out a distress signal, asking for your help in dealing with His Highness the Crown Prince."

Upon hearing this, Helihong suddenly sneered, his eyes turning cold as he said, "Everyone wants to be emperor, but there can only be one emperor. Why should I interfere? Wouldn't it be better to be the fisherman?"

Upon hearing this, the guard leaned closer and whispered, "News has come from the palace that although Murong Yu has the upper hand, the situation is not optimistic. Murong Chuan has somehow learned the ability to control Gu worms and has created many poisonous insects in the palace. Now, people in the harem are in a state of panic, and Murong Yu may not be able to hold out for long."

Heli Hong narrowed his eyes and said, "So, if I don't make a move now, I'm afraid Murong Chuan will succeed, that old bastard Murong Qianqiu will probably die, and Murong Chuan will rightfully ascend the throne as emperor, is that right?"

The guard nodded, and Heli Hong smiled slightly, saying, "The throne belongs to my husband, Bai Jianan. Do these rabble even deserve to sit on it? Give me the order: all the people from Miao territory, infiltrate the palace and secretly take control of the situation."

Keep an eye on the Third Prince and Fourth Prince, make sure they don't cause any unnecessary trouble. Also, go and investigate the Miao region immediately. Why hasn't the Golden Cicada Gu arrived yet? If this ruins everything, who will be responsible?

Also, why does Murong Chuan know Gu magic? Find out exactly where the problem lies!

The guard was taken aback and cautiously asked Heli Hong, "Could it be that the Gu worms on his body weren't planted by you?"

Heli Hong immediately retorted angrily, "Do you think Gu worms are so easy to raise? Would I be so stupid as to plant worms on someone else and let them run wild? Go and investigate immediately. The people of Miao territory are actually helping outsiders and betraying their own people. They should be executed."

To Heli Hong, the royal family of Yue was a joke. As long as the Gu worms from Miao territory were involved, the mere Yue Kingdom could be captured without bloodshed.

But when was Murong Chuan infected with Gu worms? And how did he learn the techniques to control Gu worms? Who leaked these things to Miao Di behind his back? Going against Miao Di is the worst punishment; they should be torn to pieces.

At this moment, Yue Leyun was the most anxious.

It's a strange coincidence. On her wedding day, a fire broke out in her residence, forcing her to enter the palace early. The next day, Murong Yu mutinied, not only taking control of the entire palace but also immediately taking her to the emperor's bedroom to be kept under guard.

Squeezed together with numerous concubines, Yue Leyun was so enraged that she wanted to kill someone, as they pushed and shoved her to the ground.

"The person still hasn't been found?"

As soon as Yue Leyun heard Murong Yu's voice, she looked up and saw Murong Yu leaning back on the Emperor's dragon bed.

"Yes, Your Highness, I have searched the Empress's palace and the entire harem, but I have not found any trace of her. What should we do now?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Yu sneered, "What? Keep searching. I don't believe she can escape from all this encirclement. She's probably hiding somewhere, waiting for Murong Chuan to rescue her. Hurry up and go find her. She's a great asset in controlling Murong Chuan. If you lose her, I'll take your head."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately responded and quickly withdrew to continue his investigation. Seeing this, Yue Leyun angrily shouted, "Murong Yu, how dare you be so rebellious! Do you really think you can succeed? You're only ruining yourself by doing this."

Upon hearing this, Murong Yu turned to look at Sheng Yuan and immediately laughed, "Oh, who is it? It's my new sister-in-law! Guards, how can you treat my elder sister-in-law like this? Quickly bring her here and untie her!"

Upon hearing this, the guard released Yue Leyun. Yue Leyun snorted coldly and looked at Murong Yu, saying, "Second Prince, it's not too late to turn back. If you let go now, I believe His Highness the Crown Prince will consider our brotherly bond and won't blame you."

Murong Yu immediately sneered: "Do you think I'm a Buddhist monk? Someone who would lay down his butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Do you think I'd believe everything you say? And you said Murong Chuan would release me? Why don't you say that I, Murong Yu, would release him?"

"I told you, Yue Leyun, don't think Murong Chuan will rescue you. This palace is completely sealed off, inside and out, up and down. Not even a fly can get out. If you stay put, maybe I'll be in a better mood and won't let you die first."

Entertainment Cloud was furious: "You've gone too far!"

"Hahaha, going too far? That's really not appropriate to say that to you, sister-in-law. What have I done to you that I'm going too far? Could it be that you're thinking of something bad? Tsk tsk, it seems that you are a beauty of unparalleled grace and charm. Should I do something about it?"

As Murong Yu spoke, he suddenly leaned forward, picked up Yue Leyun, and threw her onto the dragon bed.

Yue Leyun was startled and shouted as she quickly got up. But when she was halfway up, she met Murong Qianqiu's eyes, who was lying on the dragon bed. She screamed and shrank to the foot of the bed.

Murong Yu burst into laughter and said jokingly, "What? Scared? Don't worry, the old man isn't dead yet. I don't know if I'm lucky or not, but the old man fell ill like this as soon as I arrived, which saved me a lot of trouble."

Now we should just do what we need to do. Don't worry, he can't get up, and he can't ruin our plans.

As she spoke, Murong Yu untied her sash, pounced onto the dragon bed, and pinned Yue Leyun beneath her.

Yue Leyun was immediately terrified, her face turning ashen. She struggled violently and said, "Murong Yu, you beast! Let me go! I am the daughter of the Prime Minister! My father will not let you go!"

Murong Yu smiled sinisterly, "There are plenty of people who won't let me go. Who do you think you are? Yue Leyun, don't push your luck. It's a great blessing for you that I want you. Don't pretend to be some chaste and virtuous woman. It's disgusting to look at."
