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

Upon hearing this, Murong Chuan could no longer contain himself. With a wave of his hand, the Gu worms swarmed out, striking Jian Yue directly. He roared, "Shut up!"

Jian Yue stepped back, threw the tinderbox she had prepared on the ground, and said, "Shut up? Even if you shut up, Your Highness won't be able to grow it there! After all, that place is the best channel for spreading Gu worms, not to mention that Your Highness uses it quite often."

Therefore, it seems Your Highness has only yourself to blame, and no one else is to blame. Your Highness, why should I remain silent? Furthermore, Murong Chuan, don't you think this is your retribution? You've killed so many innocent girls, and now, the retribution has come.”

The Gu worm on Murong Chuan's body was a mother Gu refined by Lu Zhe. It had only been on Murong Chuan's body for a few months. Now that the mother Gu had not been properly nurtured, it had been overused. Murong Chuan's essence and blood would certainly not be able to meet the needs of the Gu worm.

In addition, as more and more Gu worms hatched in his body, and he could not transfer these Gu worms to other people's bodies regularly, his own flesh and blood naturally became food for the Gu worms. As a result, his entire body had long been hollowed out by the Gu worms, and apart from this skin and bones, there was no part of him that was his own; it had all been replaced by the Gu worms.

Now that Jian Yue had pointed it out, he immediately became enraged and attacked. However, because the tinderbox fell to the ground and the dry grass on the ground caught fire, he stiffened and retreated due to the fear of the mother Gu.

Jian Yue laughed and said, "What? You're spending more than you earn? Murong Chuan, do you think Gu worms are good? It's a pity that although they are good, you have to pay too much for them. But you were born this way, so I'm afraid you've never regretted it!"

Murong Chuan sneered and looked at Jian Yue, saying, "Regret what? Regret raising all these worms? No, I don't regret it. Although these worms are not what I wanted, they live on my body and can do some work for me. What's wrong with that?"

Yueyue, do you know what this Gu worm has given me? I can feel it now. It is giving me life and strength in an endless stream. Don't look at me as weak now. It's because it's hungry. As long as it drinks enough blood, I can live indefinitely. Anyone will be under my feet and become my nourishment.

Yueyue, oh, immortality, do you know what this means? We will live forever, above everyone else, isn't that wonderful? You and I, together, sharing this immortality, ruling the world together, isn't that good? Yueyue, be with me! I've realized I truly love you, and if you change your mind, I will absolutely forgive and forget.

Jian Yue said, "Immortality? It sounds good, but unfortunately, the Gu worms all over your body have nothing to do with immortality. At most, you are the nest of the worms on your body. If they live, you live; if they die, you die."

Especially since I have no intention of living with an insect. Murong Chuan, you're finished. You've lost the throne, the woman who loves you, and even your body. Now you're nothing but an insect. Even if you live, you're just a walking corpse. It's better to be dead; at least save this body of insects from harming others.

Murong Chuan coldly replied, "You think you can kill me? Even when I'm at my last gasp, I'm still much stronger than you."

Jian Yue shook her head and took two steps back, saying, "But the person you're fighting today isn't me."

As Jian Yue spoke, Murong Chuan was stunned. Then he felt a gust of wind above his head. He subconsciously used the insects to make a shield on his head, but the next moment, he screamed in agony.

Chu Tian stood on the artificial hill without changing his expression, holding a piece of wood in his hand, and steam was rising from the wooden bucket.

Jian Yue laughed and said, "How is it? How does this boiling water taste? Did it scald you?"

Murong Chuan's face was contorted, and the insects on his body were scalding him from the sudden appearance of hot water. He fell to the ground, rolling around and screaming in agony.

Jian Yue said, "I've wanted to try this before to see if hot water can kill the Gu worms. After all, these worms, snakes, insects, and plague worms are all worms. When they're starving, they can be eaten. Just scald them with boiling water and they'll be cooked. So I tried it today, and the results were pretty good."

As he spoke, another bucket of hot water fell from the sky. Murong Chuan didn't even have the strength to scream. He felt the Gu worms on his body desperately leaving him, especially the mother Gu, which seemed to know that there was danger on him. It had already emerged from his heart and was being protected by many Gu worms as it crawled into the depths of the artificial mountain.

But how could Jian Yue do as the Gu worm wished? The curved blade flew out and cut the mother Gu in two. Instantly, the offspring Gu, like Murong Chuan, began to wail, and in the end, they all died on the spot.

At this moment, Murong Chuan was nothing but skin and bones, hanging loosely on his bones, yet his eyes were still open, staring at Jian Yue with murderous intent.

Jian Yue walked to his side, squatted down and smiled, "Murong Chuan, do you know why I meticulously planned to treat you like this? But unfortunately, you will never know. You are about to die, although I don't want you to die so simply."

Although I didn't cause you to end up like this, it's still because of me, so I've taken my revenge. As for the rest, you can go to hell and settle accounts with Yama, the King of Hell.

After saying that, Jian Yue stood up and looked up at Chu Tian, ​​saying, "Please give him another bucket of hot water. It would be a blessing if he could wash his skin before he dies and take a bath."

Chu Tian didn't speak or nod, but he disappeared from the artificial hill. Just a few seconds later, he reappeared on it and poured water on Murong Chuan's corpse.

"Clap clap clap!"

"The young prince is still as straightforward and blunt as ever, which I truly admire."

Chu Tianyi ignored the person who had suddenly appeared beside him, turned around and landed next to Jian Yue, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"

Jian Yue smiled and shook her head, saying, "What could possibly happen to me? With the mother Gu dead, these offspring Gu are no longer a threat and have died outright. However, just to be on the safe side, we should still burn them all."

The newcomer chuckled again and said, "Miss, you're putting me in a difficult position. With these buckets of hot water, the ground and the Gu worms are all soaked, and the fire won't start. What should we do?"

Jian Yue smiled and said, "How to do it is your business, Third Prince. In any case, General Shangguan's mansion has nothing to do with me anymore."

The person who came was none other than the Third Prince, Murong Fang, and today's events were also arranged by Murong Fang himself to invite Jian Yue.

At the time, Jian Yue did not expect that just when she was about to investigate Murong Fang, Murong Fang would come to her door in person, and even get straight to the point.

However, this suited Jian Yue's wishes perfectly. Eliminating Murong Chuan would be good for everyone, and having an ally would be even better.

Murong Fang was taken aback, then chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Sister-in-law is such a wonderful person, it's rare that my brother would follow her to the death. I really envy him."

Jian Yue raised an eyebrow. She said, "Envious? If that's the case, bring out the throne and we'll switch. Anyway, I'm fine with whatever you do. Hmm, I quite like being called 'sister-in-law,' not bad."

Murong Fang was immediately embarrassed and said, "Miss Shangguan is too kind. Although I am willing to give up this position, I am afraid that my brother would not agree. It would be better to do him a favor and avoid my brother blaming me."

Jian Yue shrugged, neither confirming nor denying, but then Chu Tian asked, "You're with him?"

Jian Yue was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes, we're together now. As a friend, you should give me your blessings."

Chu Tian pursed his lips, staring straight at Jian Yue. Murong Fang frowned: "Young Prince, today's action is a collaboration, without any personal feelings involved. The woman opposite you is my sister-in-law. If you behave improperly, I will punish you according to the law."

Chu Tian looked over and said coldly, "You are not the emperor yet."

Murong Fang narrowed his eyes and said, "Even if it isn't, it can still raze your Great Northwest to the ground. I wonder if the young prince would like to give it a try?"

Chu Tian held the Heartless Sword in one hand, exuding murderous intent. Murong Fang showed no fear, meeting his gaze with a faint smile playing on his lips. He appeared completely relaxed and even supple.

Jian Yue couldn't help but admire him. This Murong Fang was so unassuming, yet he possessed such abilities. Chu Tianyi's sword was not something an ordinary person could withstand, and his murderous aura was unmatched.

Seeing the two locked in a stalemate, Jian Yue had no choice but to say, "You two should stop now! Once this matter is settled, the Third Prince should let me meet the other person."

Murong Fang immediately withdrew his gaze and smiled, "Since my sister-in-law has spoken, I will naturally agree. Yue Leyun is currently imprisoned in the Cold Palace, but I didn't expect that she would actually be pregnant."

Jian Yue was taken aback: "Pregnant?"

"Yes, it's Murong Yu's. On our wedding night, Murong Yu teleported me to the palace and took my seed. I never expected it to sprout like this. It's quite rare."

Jian Yue fell silent, clutching her stomach as she thought of her former child.

Seeing that Jian Yue's face was not good, Murong Fang said, "But don't worry, sister-in-law. As long as I don't let her give birth to this child, she definitely won't be able to give birth. In any case, she will either be sentenced to death or exiled. It's all up to you to decide what to do."

Jian Yue snapped out of her daze and shook her head, saying, "No, let her give birth."

Inside a carriage on the official road.

Bai Xiaowan, clutching the thermos, looked at Jian Yue with confusion and asked, "Why did you let that woman go again? Didn't you say you wanted to make her wish she were dead? You gave up just because she's pregnant? You're too kind. How are you going to tear that bitch apart now?"

Jian Yue smiled, elegantly picked up the white sugar cake on the table, and said while eating, "It's not that I'm letting her go, it's just that I'm letting her go temporarily so that she can take good care of her pregnancy. I'm going to raise this child."

Bai Xiaowan guessed: "Raise her? You don't mean you're going to raise this child and then have her kill her with her own hands?"

Jian Yue burst out laughing and said, "You've been reading too many storybooks, haven't you? I'm going to raise this child, and I'm going to make this child call me 'Mom.' I'm going to make her live and watch her child call me 'Mom,' while she's just a used woman who was slept with by her own brother-in-law."
