The newlyweds were replaced with new wives, and the medical concubine entered the palace and killed

Chapter 152: Can’t live, can’t die

Gu Lingyue pulled the rope, signaling Yunqi to come closer to them.

When Yunqi retreated to Gu Lingyue and Long Shang with light steps, Gu Lingyue took out three daggers from the space, gave one to Long Shang and Yunqi respectively, and said in a low voice, "Alive!"

Yunqi no longer worried about where his princess got the things from. He focused all his attention on the front.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer to them, and from the sound of the footsteps they could tell there were only two people.

Just as the person who was cursing was about to curse, he almost walked towards Yunqi.

"you……"

Before he could scream, Yunqi quickly pressed his acupoints.

The person behind him realized that something was wrong and turned around to escape. However, Long Shang would not let him escape easily. He immediately jumped up and, relying on his intuition, smashed his chest with a palm, killing him.

Gu Lingyue curled her lips. She had even asked for a living person, but he had killed her with just one palm. Fortunately, there was still one survivor.

The tall and thin man who was subdued by Yunqi at this time looked at Yunqi with shock in his eyes. He... he actually woke up?

When Gu Lingyue and Long Shang walked up to him, he was terrified and wanted to say something but his acupoints were pressed again.

"Removed the mute point from his body." Gu Lingyue said.

Yunqi raised his hand and nodded. The tall and thin man immediately stuttered, "You...you are not afraid of this poisonous miasma?"

He guessed that the two people in front of him should be from Tianqi, but why were they not afraid of this poisonous miasma? Could it be related to the masks they wore on their heads?

Long Shang snorted coldly and ignored his question. Instead, he said, "Answer my question if you want to die happily."

The tall and thin man shook his head and said, "I don't know anything. You might as well kill me."

"Want to die?" Gu Lingyue laughed. "It just so happens that I've been researching some little gadgets, so I'll use you to test their power."

After saying that, she pulled out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve. "I named this thing 'Itchy Heart'. Its greatest advantage is that after drinking it, you feel itchy inside, but you can't do anything about it."

Gu Lingyue handed the medicine bottle to Yunqi and asked him to feed it to the tall and thin man.

After Yunqi took it, he pinched the tall and thin man's chin. The tall and thin man suddenly became nervous. He shook his head desperately to avoid Yunqi's grip.

Yunqi ignored his struggle, increased his strength, and forced the pill down the tall and thin man's throat, then patted him on the back.

He felt a sense of pleasure after taking revenge.

Who told him to feed himself to the poisonous insects? If his princess hadn't asked him to stay alive, he would have killed him long ago.

The pill melted in his mouth, and the tall and thin man swallowed it without even having time to spit it out. Suddenly, he was enveloped by a strange feeling, as if there were millions of ants gnawing at his internal organs. It was painful and itchy, but he could not move at all, and even if he wanted to scratch it, he couldn't.

At this time, he was in so much pain that he just wanted to die quickly.

Just as he was about to bite his tongue to commit suicide, Yun Qi quickly removed his jaw.

"Ah!" he yelled. "Kill me! Please, let me die!" (Kill me! Please, let me die!)

Gu Lingyue smiled with satisfaction when she saw this.

Yunqi watched all this in shock.

He never expected that the poison researched by his princess was so powerful. At this moment, he swore in his heart that he would never offend his princess in the future.

The feeling of being unable to live or die made his heart tremble.

Long Shang said coldly: "I ask you a question and you answer it. If yes, nod your head. If no, shake your head. After you finish speaking, I will let you go. But if I find out that you are lying, then you will have to do this until you die of itching."

The man nodded quickly, he wanted to die quickly.

"Are all the people who came with him alive now?" Long Shang asked tentatively, pointing at Yunqi.

Yunqi's heart began to lift when he heard this.

The tall and thin man nodded and shook his head.

They thought there should be some alive, but not all of them.

Upon hearing this, Long Shang was filled with murderous aura, and Yun Qi's mood also became depressed.

Although Gu Lingyue didn't see those people, she was still in a bad mood.

"Is the place where you live just in front?" Long Shang asked again.

The tall and thin man nodded quickly, his eyes turning red.

Seeing this, Gu Lingyue took out a silver needle to temporarily suppress the poison for him. The tall and thin man's eyes finally became clear again and he felt better.

Seeing this, Long Shang asked, "Is there anyone named Ye in there? If so, is he still alive?"

The tall and thin man thought for a moment and nodded.

Long Shang heaved a sigh of relief. Gu Lingyue suddenly thought of something and asked, "How many poisonous insects are there?"

Hearing Gu Lingyue's words, the man's expression changed slightly.

Gu Lingyue knew that he must be hiding something, so she continued to ask, "Tell me quickly, or I'll let you enjoy the taste of just now again."

The tall and thin man seemed to think of something when he heard this. His eyes opened wide, fear flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head repeatedly.

Just when Gu Lingyue was about to say something, blood suddenly flowed from his nose and eyes, and he fell to the ground with a "bang!"

"Master, Princess, he... was scared to death." Yunqi bent down and checked again.

Gu Lingyue: ...

Did she not know that just by asking him this question, he was actually scared to death?!

Was he scared to death because I told him to feel the poisoning again or because of my own problems?

Gu Lingyue couldn't figure it out for a moment.

She carried Yunqi on her back and took out the corpse-dissolving water she had researched from the space and dripped it on the two corpses. Soon the corpses turned into a puddle of water and disappeared. Then the three of them moved forward quickly. In less than half an incense stick of time, a magnificent palace appeared in front of them.

Yunqi whispered excitedly, “Master, Princess, this is what I saw.

I didn't expect that what I saw was a real palace and not an illusion."

Gu Lingyue and Long Shang had never expected that a place for raising Gu could be built so well, and there was no white fog around the palace, but the outside was gloomy and chilling.

Also, they found that there was no one outside the palace, but thinking about how Yunqi was discovered the last time he came, the three of them still did not dare to be careless.

At this moment, something suddenly flashed by. Long Shang did not hesitate at all and quickly shot the dagger in his hand at the thing.

"Puff!" The dagger fell to the ground with a sound.

Yunqi quickly ran over and picked up the dagger. He saw that there was a black insect with wings stuck on the tip of the dagger.

He brought the dagger to Gu Lingyue and Long Shang, "Princess, what do you think this is?"

Gu Lingyue took a look and frowned, saying, "It's a poisonous insect."

After saying this, she looked at the wings of the insect and thought about what she had seen in a book.

The book says there is a kind of Gu called the sound-transmitting Gu, which can enter the human body, and then the poisoned person can transmit what is happening around them to the person who poisoned him through the Gu worm.

Could this be the sound transmission Gu?

So was it because of this that Yunqi was discovered the last time he came here?

"Yue'er, do you recognize what kind of insect this is?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a sound transmission insect. Now that you've killed the insect, I think it won't be long before someone comes out."

As she spoke, she took the dagger from Yunqi's hand, and took out the corpse-dissolving water from the space under the cover of her sleeve and dropped a drop on the tip of the dagger. A puff of white smoke rose, and the corpse of the poisonous insect was no longer on the tip of the dagger.

Gu Lingyue grabbed the dagger and put it into the space.

Long Shang glanced at the stone gate of the palace. If the stone gate was not opened from the inside, they really could not get in unless they found a mechanism.

"Let's see if there are any other entrances around here?" Long Shang suggested.

"it is good."

The three of them walked around the palace and found no other entrance except the main gate. They had no choice but to hide at the main gate again, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

At this time, they still didn't know what was going on inside. Gu Lingyue thought that if it was just her and Long Shang, if something happened, she could take Long Shang to hide in the space, but it would be inconvenient if she took Yun Qi with her.

Gu Lingyue decided to knock Yunqi unconscious and send him into space.

She looked at Long Shang and gave him a look, and Long Shang immediately understood what Gu Lingyue meant.

He walked up to Yunqi and knocked him unconscious and supported him before Yunqi could react.

Gu Lingyue smiled and sent Yunqi into the space, saying, "Why didn't you tell him?"

"No need." Long Shang said as he hugged Gu Lingyue into his arms and used his internal energy to warm her body.

The temperature in the forest is still very low at night.

Gu Lingyue: ...

Well, he's right.

At this moment, the stone door slowly opened, and two men in gray clothes walked out, looking around as they walked.

Seeing this opportunity, Gu Lingyue looked at Long Shang, and they both fired at the same time, and the two men fell directly to the ground.

At this time, the stone door was slowly closing. Long Shang took Gu Lingyue and rushed quickly into the palace. Finally, they rushed into the palace just before the stone door closed.

The palace is very large. The lobby is right after the entrance. There is a lamp on the wall, not too far away. The light is not too bright, making the palace a little dim. In addition, there are many coffins parked in the middle of the lobby, which makes it look a little eerie.

There was a house on the right side of the lobby. At this moment, a voice came from the house, "Is everything okay outside?"

Gu Lingyue and Long Shang looked at each other. They were at the side of the house at this time and had no idea what was going on inside.

Long Shang frowned and responded in a low voice, "Yeah."

He was wearing a gas mask, so his voice was muffled and the people inside didn't realize there was something wrong with him.

Gu Lingyue almost laughed out loud, but tried hard to hold it back.

She didn't expect that Long Shang had such a cute side.

If she hadn't been wearing a gas mask, she would have wanted to kiss him as a reward.

"I'm glad you're okay. Come in and have dinner." said the voice that had just spoken.

"Come, Brother Qing, I'll fill your glass." At this time, another voice came from inside.

"No more drinking, no more drinking. It's not peaceful outside today. The Gu people who went out on patrol haven't come back yet. The national teacher sent two brothers out and they haven't come back either. Let's go back and drink, so as not to get into trouble and get punished." The man just said.

"Not really. This 'Secret Forest of Death' is surrounded by poisonous miasma. Who could make it here alive?"

"Have you forgotten those people down there?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingyue and Long Shang guessed that they were talking about Ye Xinyu and others.

In order to keep him alive, Gu Lingyue took out a packet of medicine powder from the space and handed it to Long Shang, who understood instantly.

He grabbed the medicine bag and quickly came to the door of the room. Before the people inside could react, he threw the medicine bag in. He heard two "plop! plop!" sounds from inside.

Long Shang walked inside and Gu Lingyue quickly followed him in.

There were only two people inside, both lying on the ground.

Moreover, there was nothing in the room except tables, chairs and benches. I guess this room was specially used for guarding the door.

Gu Lingyue curled her lips in disgust and took the person into the space.

The two were in no hurry to interrogate and quietly began to search the palace.

The palace looked okay from the outside, but there was nothing inside the lobby. Finally, Long Shang opened the coffins in the lobby one by one and found that there were corpses of men inside. He also found his men who followed Yun Yi to Xishu.

Long Shang clenched his fists so tightly that veins bulged on the back of his hands.

Gu Lingyue stepped forward and gently held his clenched fist, saying comfortingly, "Let's take them back to Tianqi."

"Okay." Long Shang's voice was a little hoarse, and you could tell how sad he was right now.

"I will not let your deaths be in vain." Long Shang promised the dozen or so corpses.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Lingyue took Long Shang's men and the coffin directly into the space, and the two of them headed towards the second floor.

There was no one outside the second floor, all the room doors were locked, and there were no windows. Who knew what was inside? But this did not bother Gu Lingyue.

She is very good at opening modern locks, let alone this ancient copper lock.

She planned to open it and see if there was any valuables inside. Otherwise, why would it be locked?

Gu Lingyue took out a hairpin from the space and easily opened the copper lock.

In order to prevent any traps, Long Shang asked Gu Lingyue to move aside. He quickly pushed open the door and dodged.

After a few breaths, they found that there was no mechanism. They walked back to the door and looked inside. There were actually fifteen or sixteen people inside.

These people all had dull eyes and stood there motionless.

Gu Lingyue understood that these people must have been poisoned.

Those who can be poisoned are probably not in the same group as the people of Western Shu.

She was not a pushover, but believed that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Moreover, if she saved these people, her merit points would increase. So after discussing with Long Shang, she sent everyone in the house into the space.

The two thought that if the person in this room was poisoned, then the people in the other rooms should be poisoned as well.

After they left the room, they opened all the doors one by one. As expected, they found that all the people inside were poisoned, and among them were Long Shang's men. Fortunately, these people were alive, and Long Shang felt a little comforted.

"Ah——" At this time, a sharp and desperate scream of a woman was heard.
