A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

Looking into his eyes and brows, Gu Yanchi saw sincerity.

Just as rumored, he was a puppet prince.

"Your Emperor and the Emperor Emeritus have become monsters, drinking human blood and killing many people. They came to rescue you to support you in taking the throne and managing the situation. As for the Emperor Emeritus and the Emperor, they may both die. Can you accept this?"

As far as Bai Luoluo was concerned, if Baili Han was incapable of handling important matters and could not distinguish right from wrong, then there was no need to waste time treating him.

"If they have truly lost all conscience and deserve to die, I am afraid I am not capable enough to take charge of the overall situation."

Baili Han didn't care about family ties; he had long been accustomed to the coldness of human relationships in this palace.

He was in poor health and had no real power, so how could he stand in a high position, especially since his ambitions lay elsewhere?

Trapped in this small space, without freedom, he longed to one day escape the palace, this cage, and see the outside world.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to cure you and restore peace and tranquility to the people of Canglang."

Bai Luoluo couldn't help but sigh. The ancients were truly pitiful, and the royal family was even more powerless to control their own destiny.

The person was pale and thin, with deep and melancholy eyes, as if they held endless stories.

"If I recover, I will protect the people of Canglang."

With responsibilities weighing on him, the idea of ​​a carefree, leisurely life was a pipe dream.

"With these words from Crown Prince Han, I will do my utmost to help you ascend the throne. However, the two countries have a long history of enmity, and the war has caused immense suffering. I hope that after Crown Prince Han takes the throne, the two countries can sign a century-long non-aggression pact."

Taking this opportunity, Gu Yanchi proposed an agreement.

This was also for the sake of the people of both countries. He had been stationed on the border for many years, where countless lives were lost and rivers of blood flowed.

"Your wishes are my wishes. War only brings endless loss of life. A strong nation is not about devouring, but about its people being well-fed and clothed and free from the suffering of displacement."

"Alright, I'll keep my promise today and wait for you."

Gu Yanchi and Baili Han reached a consensus that they would surely end the war between the two countries in the future.

Seeing the two chatting happily, Bai Luoluo didn't stay idle either, and got up to remove the needles from Baili Han.

When the last needle was pulled out, Baili Han felt a metallic taste in his throat.

"puff!"

A mouthful of black blood spurted out.

"This is poisonous blood; spitting it out will be very good for your health."

Bai Luoluo explained.

Baili Han wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and revealed a faint smile.

"Thank you, I feel much better."

At this moment, the pain in his chest was gone, his whole body felt less heavy, and his breathing was much easier than before.

"You can be polite after you're cured. This is just to temporarily relieve your pain. I need to prepare some medicine and use internal energy acupuncture to help force the toxins out of your blood."

"However... I still want to say thank you."

Baili Han smiled gently.

Seeing his reaction, Bai Luoluo said nothing more.

“You need to leave here with me, otherwise you’ll need daily treatment. You have too many tails in the Crown Prince’s household, and it’s a bit troublesome to knock them out every time.”

Gu Yanchi didn't want his wife to be so tired, having to come to the East Palace every day. He was also afraid that the so-called monster would discover him and kill Baili Han in a fit of anger, by which time it would be too late.

"this........."

Baili Han was in a dilemma. Although he was not favored, the disappearance of the crown prince would inevitably shake the court.

“Husband, why don’t we stay in the East Palace?” Bai Luoluo suggested. “Husband can hide and come out at night, while I will disguise myself as a palace maid and stay by Crown Prince Han’s side so that I can treat him at any time.”

Gu Yanchi understood what she meant.

He hid in the space, and no one could find him.

"I need to leave the palace to make some arrangements. After all, how can one contend for the throne without some military power? I wonder what suggestions Crown Prince Han has?"

He needed to understand the political situation in the Canglang court and who was willing to assist Baili Han in ascending to the throne.

"King Canglang is worth a try, but he is a man of unyielding character and the only king of a different surname, making him a right-hand man of the emperor."

However, he remained loyal to the diligent and benevolent emperor. Over the years, he had grown somewhat disillusioned with the emperor, but as a subject, he was powerless to change anything.

Recently, the Wolf King's two sons have gone missing. It's unclear whether this is related to the art of immortality. If military power is desired, the Wolf King can discuss it.

Baili Han had a deep impression of the Wolf King. Once, at a palace banquet, the Wolf King got drunk and somehow ended up in the East Palace.

He had a very pleasant conversation with Baili Han, and was even quite satisfied with this crown prince. Later, he even found a folk doctor to come to the palace to examine his health.

The Wolf King was a highly decorated warrior who had met Gu Yanchi on the battlefield before, making them old acquaintances and rivals.

"Alright, I'll go and talk to them about this for you, but I'll need the Crown Prince's token."

Since it's an enemy country, wouldn't he be walking into a trap if he went there? He could just use the crown prince's token to become the crown prince's confidant.

"Thank you." Baili Han handed over the token. "Please take good care of yourself, or your Crown Princess will worry."

Gu Yanchi nodded.

After the last internal alchemy, his martial arts skills are now vastly different, and it can be said that he has no rivals between the two countries.

Moreover, he also practiced some of the cultivation techniques given to him by Tu Shanyuan.

"These are detoxifying herbs. Soak them in hot water for half an hour each day, twice a day. This is a seven-day supply."

Bai Luoluo took out a pile of herbs and placed them on the table. Baili Han was a little surprised. Where did she hide so many herbs?

However, he did not ask any further questions.

"Okay, I will do as instructed."

"That's all for tonight. We have other matters to attend to, so we'll leave now. I'll return tomorrow morning to serve as your maid. The Crown Prince has already arranged an identity for me."

After Bai Luoluo finished speaking, she took Gu Yanchi's hand, and the two of them disappeared into the night.

In a magnificent palace on the south side of the imperial palace, an old man who looked to be in his sixties sat cross-legged on a pillar in the middle of a blood pool. His hair was white and his body was surrounded by a thick black mist. Fresh blood from the blood pool kept flowing into his body along the patterns on the pillar.

This man was none other than Baili Heng, the retired emperor of the Canglang Kingdom. He was actually a hundred years old, but he looked to be around sixty.

Meanwhile, not far from the blood pool, the Imperial Advisor, dressed in black and wearing a mask, was watching from below.

He held a weapon resembling a scepter in his hand, making him look like a high priest. However, his eyes were red, and his exposed fingers were no longer human hands, with sharp nails like wolf claws. His skin was covered with thick black hair, making him look somewhat eerie.

Not far away, there were nine pillars with nine people tied to them. Bai Luoluo recognized one of them; it was Ye Ming, whom she had met twice before.

Inside the space, the four people couldn't help but frown at the sight of the bloodshed.

"This person is so depraved and insane, he cannot be allowed to live any longer."

Tu Shanyuan said with a frown.

While it's true that the strong prey on the weak, such evil arts are forbidden even in the demon realm.
