On a dark and windy night
After knocking out the maid, Qin Wanyou flew directly to the courtyard in the west of the city, changed her clothes, and headed straight for the Regent's Mansion.
As we approached the Regent's Palace, we saw the scene before us.
Qin Wanyou was dumbfounded.
His eyes were filled with confusion and shock. What was going on with all this flashing swords and shadows?
The Regent's Palace was attacked?
After watching the two sides fight fiercely for a while, Qin Wanyou thought, "Isn't this a golden opportunity?"
Then Qin Wanyou carefully sneaked into the Regent's Palace from a less crowded spot.
This appears to be the backyard of the Regent's Palace. Currently, the main personnel are resisting in the front yard, and occasionally one or two female relatives can be seen moving around nervously.
Qin Wanyou secretly observed her surroundings.
After searching for a while, I couldn't find any flowers or plants similar to the Hidden Spirit Grass.
Then Qin Wanyou slipped into a corner under the eaves and pondered, wondering where they would put the Hidden Spirit Grass.
After inspecting another secluded courtyard, Qin Wanyou still couldn't find any plants related to the Hidden Spirit Grass, so she continued to explore further.
Seeing the heavily guarded pavilion ahead, could someone be up there?
The sounds of fighting in the front yard grew louder and louder, and Qin Wanyou wondered whether she should go to the front to investigate.
Meanwhile, in the attic of the main courtyard, Murong Xiao lay on a recliner, watching the fierce battle not far away.
The guards on all sides were on high alert, watching their surroundings vigilantly, not daring to relax their guard for even a moment.
Suddenly, Murong Xiao's gaze shifted to a certain direction below.
Guards Mo Nan and Mo Bei immediately followed their master's gaze to the furtive shadowy figure, instantly becoming alert.
"Prepare!"
Allow the archers to fire at any time.
But Murong Xiao raised his hand to stop her, and just watched as Qin Wanyou examined the potted plants and flowers in the yard one by one. "Guess what he's looking for?"
"I suspect he's just a petty thief," Mo Bei guessed.
Murong Xiao did not agree in his heart, but he did not refute or explain. Instead, he got up and stood in front of the window, looking at the waves of sneak attacks in front of him, screaming and falling down.
Suddenly, Mo Nan cried out in alarm, "Master, that little thief has disappeared!"
Mo Bei immediately ordered the guards, "Everyone be on high alert and ready for battle at any time! Archers, prepare!"
Murong Xiao looked at the sky. The waning moon had completely disappeared behind the clouds, and not a ray of light could be seen. The sky was dark, which also foreshadowed that he would soon fall into a dark sleep.
As Qin Wanyou was examining the flowers and plants, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She quickly found a secluded spot to hide herself. After a moment's thought, she decided to seize the opportunity tonight and sneak up to the attic.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the attic, I looked up and saw that the archer had already drawn his bow. I quickly hid behind a pillar and a large flowerpot.
That was close! I was almost pierced by a thousand arrows!
Qin Wanyou realized that she had become a rabbit delivered to her door this time.
But I'm not willing to leave like this. Tomorrow is the doctor's check-up day, and I have to get the Hidden Spirit Grass tonight!
He casually picked up something he didn't recognize and threw it over, then threw a frame as well.
With a feint, Qin Wanyou leaped past the archers and flew straight upstairs.
The guards drew their swords and stood guard.
Qin Wanyou continued to resist and evade, gradually approaching Murong Xiao's room.
Seeing that there was nothing resembling the Hidden Spirit Grass upstairs, Qin Wanyou was about to force the guards away and fly out the window.
Suddenly, the door to the room opened, and Mo Nan pointed his sword directly at Qin Wanyou.
Qin Wanyou had no choice but to snatch the guard's sword again to resist.
The two attacked and parried, exchanging blows and defenses.
After a few exchanges, Qin Wanyou forced Mo Nan back with a sword strike, then stepped onto a pillar behind her, hovering in the air like a swallow.
Seeing that Qin Wanyou only resisted and did not kill him, unlike the assassins who had come to kill her before, Murong Xiao stopped them, "Stop. May I ask why you have come?"
Qin Wanyou changed her tone, uttering a hoarse, aged voice, "I apologize for disturbing Your Highness, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a faint black shadow appear on Murong Xiao's face, constantly swirling around him.
Then, unable to contain himself, he clutched his chest with his left hand, his face contorted in pain.
Mo Nan and Mo Bei immediately stood protectively beside Murong Xiao, while the guards kept a close eye on Qin Wanyou, gripping their swords tightly and ready for battle.
Qin Wanyou then changed her mind. "Young Master, how about we make a deal?"
Murong Xiao endured the excruciating pain, "What deal?"
Qin Wanyou slowly spoke, "The prince's poison is about to invade his heart and lungs. If he is not treated soon, his life may be in danger. I will help the prince suppress the main Gu worm. In return, you can give me a few Hidden Spirit Grasses, how about that?"
After a few seconds of pause, he said, "This deal is very good for you."
Murong Xiao was very surprised; he hadn't expected that what he was looking for was the Hidden Spirit Grass!
but...
"If what you desire is the Hidden Spirit Grass, I, the young master, agree to make a deal with you."
"I need to see the Hidden Spirit Grass first," Qin Wanyou said, worried that she might be deceived.
Murong Xiao was silent for a moment, then said, "Fine, I agree."
Mo Nan and Mo Bei were also worried about being cheated and disagreed, "Your Highness, if it's him..."
Murong Xiao raised his hand to stop Mo Nan and Mo Bei, knowing what they meant, "I believe you are not deceiving me."
Qin Wanyou said, "I will never go back on my word, as long as the young master gives me the Hidden Spirit Grass."
Murong Xiao nodded. "Come with me."
The group flew downstairs and arrived at a courtyard behind the pavilion, surrounded by artificial hills.
The guards stood watch outside as Murong Xiao and his companions entered the courtyard and arrived at a rockery.
At this moment, the people downstairs saw that the prince had left the pavilion and rushed over.
When Granny Wang and Doctor Luo arrived and saw the scene, they looked up at Mo Nan, who then explained to them in a low voice.
Murong Xiao told Mo Bei to move a stone, preparing to reach out and open the array's core.
Granny Wang called out, "Young Master!" trying to stop her, but she didn't say anything more.
Murong Xiao heard a pause for a second, then continued to activate the array's core.
Murong Xiao used his spiritual power to place his hand in the air at the exit of the artificial mountain.
Gradually, a hidden world appeared before my eyes. There were several potted plants inside, with flowers and grass, and one plant in the middle was planted directly in the ground, not in a pot.
Qin Wanyou immediately recognized the plant in the middle as the Hidden Spirit Grass, exactly as the doctor had described. Its veins were very clear, with a faint purple vein on the upward-facing side of each leaf, and the back of the leaf was also purple.
but...
It seems there's only one Hidden Spirit Grass.
Murong Xiao looked at Qin Wanyou and said, "This is the Hidden Spirit Grass. To be honest, the Prince's Mansion only has this one that can be used. Its growth cycle is very slow and it is not easy to survive. If the roots are off the ground for more than a quarter of an hour, it will die quickly."
Qin Wanyou considered the possibility that she could take it with her and raise it, and the chances were almost zero.
So, "In that case, I'll take two leaves in exchange."
At this moment, Mo Nan spoke up, "You must treat our young master first before we can give it to you."
"I want to get my hands on it first," Qin Wanyou insisted.
Murong Xiao directly picked two leaves and handed them to Qin Wanyou.
His subordinates unanimously tried to stop him, saying, "Your Highness, you mustn't."
However, Qin Wanyou quickly used her spiritual power to take the Hidden Spirit Grass into her hand. After examining it carefully, she was still worried that it might be a trap.
Murong Xiao explained to Qin Wanyou, "This is a genuine Hidden Spirit Grass; I did not lie to you."
After Qin Wanyou put it away, she said, "Thank you, Your Highness. Please sit down and be quiet!"
Murong Xiao sat down on the ground as instructed.
Qin Wanyou pressed her thumbs against the base of her middle fingers with both hands, channeling her spiritual power to form a lotus shape in front of her chest. Then, she slowly pulled her palms apart, and gently channeled her spiritual power into Murong Xiao's body with her right hand, attempting to force the Gu worms to his left wrist to suppress and seal them.
The fighting outside grew increasingly fierce, and the shouts grew louder.
suddenly,
Several loud "bangs" were heard.
The attic exploded.
Suddenly, flames shot into the sky.
Qin Wanyou hadn't expected the Gu to be so powerful; it stopped moving as soon as it reached her arm and made a sound.
"Use your internal energy to force out another type of poison from your body." The voice, which was originally hoarse, sounded a bit younger.
Qin Wanyou increased her spiritual power again.
However, the Gu worm was too powerful, and blood was already seeping from the corner of its mouth.
"Someone come quick! Use your spiritual power to strike the young master's left shoulder. I can't take it anymore!" Qin Wanyou finally revealed her true feelings.
Mo Nan and Mo Bei immediately did as instructed.
With the support of two streams of spiritual energy, Qin Wanyou finally recovered a little.
As the Gu worm was gradually forced to her wrist, Qin Wanyou immediately used her spiritual power to form a seal to seal it. Then, she withdrew her right hand and struck Murong Xiao on the back with her left hand. Murong Xiao took a step back and fell to the ground, but immediately turned around and flew towards the roof.
Murong Xiao spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"Your Highness~"
The subordinates all drew their swords.
