Imperial Physician Zhang sorted out his thoughts and said, "According to the historical records, this Jade Bead was raised by our ancestor, the emperor who founded the country — — Emperor Mo. This Gu was raised to consume the blood of the emperor, but later on, Emperor Mo gave up on tormenting his brother and only imprisoned him. However, the Gu was a Gu because it was a weird thing without a limit to life. Hence, without Emperor Mo's blood to feed it, it began to hibernate and secrete its shell. In one accident, an imperial physician pointed out that the outer shell of this Gu had the ability to cure hundreds of poisons, so this Gu was passed down by the descendants of the Mo Emperor until the originally unified empire was destroyed, and the Gu landed in the hands of the Chu Nation as a treasure, calling itself the Jade Bead of Fallen Beads. "

The Duke of Beichen's brows furrowed even more, but he still maintained his smile, "What does this have to do with the Parasite Gu?"

Imperial Physician Zhang looked somewhat terrified as he spoke hesitantly, "Although this official has studied this Gu quite closely, I can't be sure. After all, no one has ever done so before."

"Just speak your mind, Imperial Physician Zhang." The expression on Duke Bei Chen's face was sincere.

"This official thinks so. This Gu was fed with Emperor Mo's blood. If that's the case, then this Gu must be Emperor Mo's blood, or at least a descendant of Emperor Mo." Imperial Physician Zhang secretly looked at the Duke of Northern Chen's expression and saw nothing wrong with it. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lord Bei Chen said without hurry, "In other words, in our country, the only ones that could draw out the Gu is me, Bei Chen Han, and Imperial Father, right?"

The Duke of Northern Chen seemed to be asking if they had eaten today, but upon hearing the question, Imperial Physician Zhang trembled in fear. He touched the Duke of Northern Chen's eyes and said submissively, "Yes, yes."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" When Yan Qingcheng heard this, she grew anxious and hurried over to call over Imperial Physician Zhang, frightening him into cowering.

Duke Bei Chen looked at the small Gu in his hand and asked, "Then what will your reaction be after you absorb this Gu into your body?"

When Imperial Physician Zhang heard this, it was as if he had thought of something, causing his face to turn pale, "Back, back to Third Marquis, this Gu is called the Bone Corrosion Worm, as long as this bug is introduced into the body, at the full moon, the person who gets infected by the Gu will suffer the pain of it corroding the bones overnight. It's repeated like this, month after month, unless — that person can't take it anymore, commit suicide, otherwise, it's an endless vicious cycle."

The Duke of Beichen fiddled with the Jade Bead in his hand, "Is there a way to solve this?"

"This —" Imperial Physician Zhang was in a difficult position. "This official has yet to study it."

The smile on his face was very thick, as if he was an old friend that he hadn't seen for a long time. "Since Imperial Physician Zhang doesn't know, then forget it, then —" Suddenly, a sharp knife appeared in the hands of the Duke of Northern Chen. The cold light flashed on the Imperial Physician Zhang's face, causing the Imperial Physician Zhang's face to be filled with fear. The sharp blade moved, and bright red blood spurted out. Duke Bei Chen did not move, and the warm blood fell on his face, forming a beautiful scene, "It's useless."

Yan Qingcheng took a handkerchief and wiped away the blood on Beichen's face. She looked at Imperial Physician Zhang and said, "Prince, you have many ways to keep him from speaking."

Lord Beichen waved his hand, and let Shadow drag the corpse out: "But, only the dead will not reveal it."

A bitter smile appeared on Yan Qingcheng's face. "Is it because this is related to Su Nuo?" There was no retort. It was a firm tone, but it was hard to conceal the sadness.

Lord Beichen smiled, looking as if he was having fun in the fireworks pavilion: "My Cheng is getting smarter and smarter." Then, he said seriously, "As long as it's related to Xiao Nuo, then it has to be absolutely — thorough." Then, he smiled and said, "Alright, prepare for me, I want to draw in the Gu."

"What?" The expressions on Yan Qingcheng's face all changed. "No, Your Highness, you can't do this. There are so many people in this world that can draw out Gu. Your Highness doesn't need to do it yourself."

Lord Bei Chen raised his eyebrows: "Then what can I do about it?"

Yan Qingcheng continued, "Your Highness, right now, the world is split into five. That is to say, excluding our country, there are still four other countries. Including the three that have been replaced by foreign rebels, we still have to go to the Chu Country."

The Duke of Beichen suddenly laughed out loud, causing Yan Qingcheng to be stunned from the laughter. "My prince!"

The Duke of Beichen raised his head to look at her, "Cheng'er, what do you think the Crown Prince and the king of Chu are? Even if we can do it, after that, do you want the two countries to start a war?" The Duke of Beichen shrugged his shoulders, "Although I don't care at all about going to war for Little Nuo, at that time, I will definitely threaten Little Nuo. As long as there's even the slightest possibility of Little Nuo being threatened, I won't do it."

When Yan Qingcheng heard this, she hurriedly said, "Then, then there's still Bei Chenghan. Su Nuo is his' Fortune Jin ', and not —"

This time, Bei Chen laughed even more loudly, as though he had heard the funniest joke in the world, but when the laughter stopped, a cold chill pierced through his peach blossom eyes: "Bei Chen Han, he will draw in the parasite for Xiao Nuo! In his eyes, Xiao Nuo was just a lowly slave from the beginning to the end. Do you think a dignified Second Prince would do this for his slave? "

Yan Qingcheng was instantly at a loss for words.

The corner of the man's mouth curled up in a smile, but his eyes were still cold, "But it doesn't matter. He doesn't love Little Nuo, and there's also me. In this lifetime, I will definitely spoil Little Nuo, no matter what it is, I will give it to him." As he spoke, he took out an ink-black dagger and slowly pushed it away.

Yan Qingcheng rushed up to him almost without thinking. "No, I absolutely cannot let His Highness do this. I absolutely —"

The Duke of Beichen smiled at Yan Qingcheng. That smile seemed to be filled with all the emotions in the world. He swiftly lifted his hand and hacked downwards. Yan Qingcheng's eyes were wide open as she collapsed on the ground. The Duke of Beichen lifted her up and placed her on the bed, murmuring to himself, "You don't know, in this world, I'm the only one who dotes on Xiao Nuo. I'm the only one, how can I bear not to pamper her a little?" As he said that, he picked up the dagger and slashed his arm without hesitation, causing bright red blood to flow out, slowly flowing down his arm onto the table.

The Jade Bead on the table was still motionless at first, but it actually moved a little. Duke Beichen saw it, and his eyes lit up in a flash. It was even brighter than the stars in the sky.

Riiiiip. A small crack appeared on the Jade Bead, but it did not break. Following that, something flew towards the blood of the Duke of Northern Chen.

The Duke of Beichen's eyebrows scrunched up as he looked at his arm. There was a small protrusion on it, and it was moving rapidly. It was a strange sight, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared from Beichen's arms, as if everything had returned to normal without the slightest change.

The Duke of Beichen carefully picked up the Jade Descend Pearl from the table, and upon closer inspection, there was indeed a small empty space inside the already small Jade Descend Pearl. The Duke of Beichen looked at the empty space and laughed. His expression seemed to be drunk, yet not drunk at the same time. This was precisely the most fascinating thing.

The summer wind blew gently, like a woman's hand, warm and comfortable.

Su Nuo remained in Bei Chen Han's embrace with a docile expression on her face, like a most serious and perfect listener. However, she had already bit her lips, she wanted to tell her master about Little Qian's matter, but she did not know what to say. She had never encountered such a thing before, but if she did not say it, she would have regretted it even if she ended her life.

Bei Chen Han looked at Su Nuo biting her lips and forming lines after lines of scars, and finally asked, "Xiao'er, what's wrong with you? Do you not like me to talk to you?" When it came to saying that he didn't like it, the voice rose slightly, revealing a trace of dissatisfaction.

Su Nuo was frightened. She didn't expect that her master would see her like this. She shook her head as if she was shaking something, and her face was filled with fear.

Bei Chen Han laughed, his face close to Su Nuo as he said in satisfaction, "I knew that my Na'er loves to listen to me and likes to be with me the most, right?"

Su Nuo blushed slightly due to Bei Chen Han's sudden flirtation. She lowered her head bashfully and replied in a low voice.

Bei Chenghan was even more satisfied. He lifted Su Nuo's chin with one hand and covered her lips with the other with a smile. This kiss was not long. It was as if he was playing with a pet and left.

Su Nuo's face was bright red from being kissed. She couldn't help but think that her master must be in a good mood right now. If she were to say it now, her master would probably agree. His heart thumped in his chest as a sense of nervousness began to spread through his body. He opened his mouth hesitantly, "Master! Master! Nona!"

Bei Chen Han held onto Su Nuo, playing with her long hair, saying, "Nuo'er, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Su Nuo clenched her somewhat wet hands and mustered up her courage, "Master, it is Xiao'er's fault that you broke Master's beloved tea set. It has nothing to do with Little Qian. I was the one who implicated Little Qian."

When Bei Chenghan heard this, the playfulness in his eyes froze.

Su Nuo could not see as she continued, "So Master, please don't punish Little Qian. It's all my fault, don't —"

Bei Chen Han decisively cut off Su Nuo's words, and said with a cold tone, "What do you mean, Xiao'er, do you still need me to agree to anything I do?"

Su Nuo instantly shut her mouth. Even though she couldn't see Bei Chen Han's expression, she knew instinctively that her master was angry. Su Nuo quickly shook her head and quickly explained, "No, no, that's not what I meant."

"That's not what I meant." After saying that, Beichen stood up, his face was expressionless, and even had a hint of chilliness on it. "Nuo'er, rest well." As he spoke, he left without even taking a glance at Su Nuo.

Su Nuo was stunned. The person who was hugging her just now, her warm back just a moment ago, was now empty. Su Nuo lowered her head and smiled bitterly. She had indeed angered her master again. Indeed, she was not a qualified female slave. She actually dared to tell her master what she thought.

The door opened and Little Qian walked in. "Fu Jin."

Su Nuo didn't know where Little Qian was, so she could only smile at the air and say softly, "Little Qian, I'm sorry."

Little Qian panicked and said, "Fu Jin did not let Little Qian down. Really, Little Qian was able to meet a good master like Fu Jin in this lifetime. Little Qian's entire life is worth it."

Su Nuo smiled, but the corners of her mouth were full of bitterness.

"Fu Jin, Little Qian will accompany you to rest." Little Qian asked carefully when he saw Su Nuo's calm expression.

Su Nuo nodded and continued on until Little Qian was done with everything. Su Nuo asked hesitantly, "Master, Master is heading west-"
