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

The Queen glanced at the crow slave and immediately put the bottle on the table.

"Remember to hold this bottle carefully and do not open it casually."

The Empress was very satisfied and gave Bai Luoluo some more instructions, fearing that she might get rid of the Gu worms.

"Your Majesty, I understand."

Looking at the bottle in front of her, Bai Luoluo reached out and picked it up, then put it into her sleeve.

"Well, since nothing's wrong, you may leave now. If anything happens, you can send someone to inform the Third Prince."

"Your Majesty, please retire."

Bai Luoluo stood up, bowed slightly, and slowly withdrew from the main hall.

When the eunuch saw her come out, he led her out of the palace.

Just as they arrived at the palace gate, they saw Gu Yanchi riding towards them.

His posture was elegant and his figure upright, exuding an undeniable aura of menace.

The horse approached from afar, and after a neigh, it stood in front of Bai Luoluo.

He breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw Bai Luoluo.

"Luo'er, are you alright?"

Gu Yanchi dismounted and walked a few steps to her, looking her up and down.

Upon seeing the Prince of Xiling, the eunuch stepped forward and bowed slightly, saying, "This servant greets the Prince of Xiling."

"I'm fine." Bai Luoluo smiled gently. "Eunuch, I can go back on my own. You don't need to see me off."

"Very well, then we servants will return to the palace to report back."

The eunuch glanced at Gu Yanchi and slowly retreated back to the palace gate.

"Achi, we've made a major discovery this time. Let's go back and talk about it."

After the eunuch left, Bai Luoluo whispered a few words in Gu Yanchi's ear.

"it is good."

Gu Yanchi mounted his horse, holding the reins in one hand and extending the other hand in front of Bai Luoluo.

Seeing this, she placed her hand in Gu Yanchi's hand, her body swaying in the wind, trapping her in front of her, and Bai Luoluo immediately blushed.

Sitting in front of Gu Yanchi, sharing a horse, she was visibly tense, and their heartbeats quietly synchronized at that moment.

"Luo'er, sit tight."

After Gu Yanchi finished speaking, he raised his whip, and the horse galloped forward instantly.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the two bodies pressed tightly together. Bai Luoluo was already slender, and at first glance, it looked as if she was completely in Gu Yanchi's arms.

Unbeknownst to him, Gu Yanchi's ear tips gradually turned red, and a sweet atmosphere filled the air.

This ancient mode of transportation was a real steed, so lifelike, Bai Luoluo couldn't help but sigh.

She gently turned her head, suppressing the inexplicable surge of emotion welling up inside her.

After Bai Luoluo left, Ya Nu stood beside the Empress.

"This woman is stupid and foolish; I wonder if her spell was successful?"

"Don't worry, Crow, she loves Jin'er to death and will definitely complete the mission."

The Empress looked determined to win, as if she could already see Gu Yanchi going mad.

"Once this Heart-Devouring Gu enters Gu Yanchi's body, it will drive him mad and eventually cause him to explode and die."

"You said the same thing about that Gu poison last time, and it's still alive."

The Empress's eyes showed displeasure.

“At first, Her Majesty the Empress did not want him to die, but only wanted to torture him. Now that you have ordered him to die, he should have exploded during the palace banquet. I don’t know what happened during that time, but recently the mother Gu has been drowsy, which should be due to changes in the Gu worms in Gu Yanchi’s body.”

Ya Nu wanted to defend herself, and she was very confident in the Gu worms, believing that someone must have sabotaged them.

"I hope the Heart-Eating Gu will not disappoint me."

On the day of the hunt, I will make this bastard go mad on the spot.

"Let the Emperor see for himself how his beloved woman's son goes mad, explodes, and dies. I eagerly await that moment."

That vile woman is dead, yet the Emperor still thinks of her. Even though she had an affair with a guard, he still couldn't let go of her. It's truly enviable. It's just a pity that their son will also go mad and die.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Ya Nu will not let you down in this matter."

"I will wait and see the results."

...........

The Prince of Xiling's Mansion.

Bai Luoluo recounted the events of the day, including the Gu worms currently inside the porcelain bottle.

"I didn't expect it to be her."

At this moment, Gu Yanchi clenched his fists, and his murderous aura gradually intensified.

"Don't get angry; it's bad for your health."

Seeing his agitation, Bai Luoluo stepped forward to comfort him, saying that the Gu worm had just fallen asleep and getting angry would only make it awaken faster.

"why?"

"She could do that to a child, she deserves to die."

Gu Yanchi was furious. He had endured so much pain over the years that no one else could possibly understand or bear it.

The pain he had endured over the years broke him down.

The hatred in his heart gradually intensified, and a chilling killing intent emanated from his body, spreading around him.

At that time, he was just a young child.

Why is this? He has been abandoned by his father and has also lost his mother.

In an instant, Gu Yanchi seemed to have thought of something.

The Empress must have framed the Consort, leading to her death and even implicating her entire family.

His loved ones all left him; it was all the empress's conspiracy.

At this moment, Gu Yanchi felt as if he had fallen into an abyss, his entire body trapped in the deepest part, as if it would completely devour him at any moment.

Bai Luoluo looked at the handsome man in front of her, who seemed to have transformed into a different person in an instant. He was surrounded by a thick black mist, and waves of killing intent swirled around him.

She could actually understand Gu Yanchi's feelings at that moment. After all, he was still a child back then, enduring torture that was worse than death every day, which no one could bear.

Yet he survived; his resilience and endurance are unmatched.

“Achi............”

Bai Luoluo didn't know how to comfort him, so she gently called Gu Yanchi's name.

"Why do this? My mother is so gentle and kind."

His eyes were bloodshot, filled with a hint of despair.

"Ha ha........."

Gu Yanchi suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly; he was indeed an ominous sign.

His father despised him, and he had no relatives or friends; he was always alone.

In the dead of night, he seemed to return to the cold palace, where everyone despised him, the prince, and no one ever gave him a shred of warmth.

My mother's embrace was so warm, but sadly she had already died of illness in the cold palace.

Seeing Gu Yanchi's outburst, Bai Luoluo stepped forward and hugged his waist.

"Don't do this—you still have me."

In the book, Gu Yanchi was despised by everyone, suffered loneliness in his youth, and remained so until the moment of his death.

However, the book does not mention the use of Gu poison.

It was said that he was a ruthless killer, like a demon from hell, whose eyes would turn blood red when he killed. Later, the emperor and all the ministers considered him an omen of misfortune.

He was once a glorious war god general, admired by all, but in the end he became a villain despised by everyone and infamous for eternity.

Feeling the softness in his arms, Gu Yanchi, deep in the darkness, seemed to see a fairy reaching out her hand to him.

It was a light that seemed to illuminate even the abyss.

He looked up, reached out and placed his hand on that small hand, and in an instant, he was pulled away from the abyss.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, and her whole body radiated a faint, flowing golden light.

Looking back, Gu Yanchi saw the woman's face clearly; it was his Luo'er.

The murderous aura emanating from her body vanished in that instant, and Bai Luoluo nestled into his arms.
