Chapter 169

Ye Zhao and Ye Mu looked at Xiao Taohua with contempt in their eyes. Although Xiao Taohua was smiling, his eyes were dead silent.

No matter how noble their identities were, it didn't matter.

Although the Young Master was known for his poisons, ever since he left his master, he had never harmed an innocent commoner.

But these two high and mighty princesses!

The two of them claimed to be the twin prodigies of Canglan Country, but the number of people who died at their hands was innumerable.

No wonder they were favored by the Female Emperor of Canglan Country. Because this pair of twins, their hearts were as vicious as their mother the Empress.

The evil of these three women came straight from their bones. Their preferences were completely unpredictable.

If they wanted to kill someone, they just killed them.

How could he let such a vicious pair of twins off easily after they had plotted against the Young Master?

"You two high and mighty princesses, stop screaming. What I fed you wasn't poison, but gu worms raised with my own blood. As soon as I die, you two will undoubtedly die as well.

Once these worms enter a person's body, they will slowly suck your blood and reproduce until those gu worms have eaten all the flesh and blood from your bodies."

Ye Zhao and Ye Mu's faces instantly turned ugly when they heard Xiao Taohua's words. They put their hands on their chests, as if trying to feel the worms inside their bodies through their skin.

They had seen gu worms before. Because their mother the Empress had many witchers by her side. Those witchers would put larvae in children's bodies, and then lock those children in cages.

When the larvae awoke inside the children's bodies and slowly grew bigger, they would constantly bite and chew the children's flesh and blood.

And those children who were bitten by the larvae, unable to endure the pain in their bodies, would lose their senses and bite their companions next to them without reason.

Until only one child was left alive in the cage, that last surviving child was what the witchers called a gu human.

And the grown larvae inside the child's body was the so-called gu king. And that child parasitized by the gu king would become an unfeeling and unthinking puppet.

A puppet that could be manipulated by others, only knowing how to kill.

Thinking that they would become unfeeling puppets, the expressions on Ye Zhao and Ye Mu's faces were filled with horror.

No, they were high and noble princesses, they were the twin prodigies of Canglan Country. Now that Eldest Princess Ye Xi was dead, and Third Prince Ye Yi had also been abandoned by their mother the Empress.

One of them had the possibility of becoming the next Empress of Canglan Country.

How could they die! They could not die!

Seeing only fear in Ye Zhao and Ye Mu's eyes, Lin Zao ignored their flattering glances and coldly ordered:

"Take Princess Ye Zhao and Ye Mu away, don't let anyone come in contact with them. No Shuang, No Shi, have people guard them in secret, don't let them die easily." Lin Zao said coldly.

"Yes sir!"

After watching Ye Zhao and Ye Mu being dragged away by the guards, Lin Zao turned to the envoy from Fengshuo Country.

He was a man who looked to be in his mid-thirties, with the air of a scholar around him. Wearing light blue robes, he quietly watched Lin Zao.

If they weren't in the banquet hall, if they hadn't just experienced the bloody scene at the banquet.

Just looking at this man, he was a scholar full of scholarly spirit.

What a pity, he wasn't.

【Host, your little baby Ruo Qiu is about to wake up. Foolish host, get ready to drool and bat your eyes like crazy the moment Ruo Qiu opens his eyes!】

As Lin Zao was about to retort to the insidious system, she saw Ruo Qiu slowly open his eyes.

As she looked into Ruo Qiu's fox-like eyes, Lin Zaozao's face, under the control of the dog system, started uncontrollably throwing coquettish glances at Ruo Qiu, as if a small electric motor had been installed on it. In addition, she started drooling uncontrollably.

"Zaozao..."

"Ruo, Ruo Qiu! How, how are you feeling now?"

While caring about Ruo Qiu, Lin Zaozao felt her saliva flowing uncontrollably from the corners of her mouth like a faucet.

Her eyes blinked at Ruo Qiu at an extremely high frequency and in an extremely regular manner, throwing strange coquettish glances.

Lin Zaozao first wiped her saliva with her sleeve, then covered one eye with her hand, trying her best not to look at Ruo Qiu's face as she greeted him.

Seeing the pained expression on Lin Zaozao's face, Ruo Qiu did not react at first.

"Zaozao, what's wrong with your eyes? Are you hurt? And why are the corners of your mouth wet?"

Ruo Qiu gently placed his hand on Lin Zaozao's eyes, feeling them blink wildly. Her long eyelashes kept brushing against his palm. Something was very wrong with Zaozao's eyes!

What's going on with her?

Also, isn't she dead? How can a dead person see Zaozao? Could Zaozao be...

"Zaozao, are, are you alright? Aren't you in Han country? How could someone like Prince Han Ye possibly fail to protect you?

Could it be? Did Prince Han Ye use you and then kill you after he was done? How could he do that? If I had known, if I had known I would have risked my life to take you with me before I died.

I'm sorry, Zaozao. I, I'm just a coward. I failed to protect you."

Seeing Ruo Qiu's grieved expression, Lin Zaozao quickly lowered her hand from her eye, grabbed Ruo Qiu's hand and placed it on her cheek, hurriedly explaining:

"No, no, no! Ruo Qiu, you're not dead yet! If you don't believe me, feel me, my skin is nice and warm."

Seeing Ruo Qiu's dumbfounded expression, Lin Zaozao hurriedly placed Ruo Qiu's hand on her chest, and quickly explained:

"Ruo Qiu, feel my petite steamed buns. Although my petite steamed buns are small, the heart beating inside is still thumping."

Feeling the distinct heartbeat under his hand, Ruo Qiu stared blankly at Lin Zaozao, who kept throwing coquettish glances at him while drooling, and asked word for word:

"Zaozao, I, I'm not dead yet?"

"Not dead, not dead, still alive!"

Lin Zaozao pulled up her sleeve, wiped the saliva from her mouth, and hurried to reassure him:

"But I'm about to die from an even more aggressive poison than 'Incurable'.

Zaozao, I really didn't expect that I would get to see you again before I die. Zaozao, I still failed after I went back. I thought that even if my mother didn't love me, my father would surely love me.

When we were in Waterfall Village, I stubbornly wanted to go back and take my father away from my mother's side, to keep him safe for the rest of his life.

But unfortunately, my father doesn't love me either. I'm his child! Yet he doesn't even love me.

Following my mother's order, my father personally slipped the chronic poison into my teacup, just for the countless family assets after my death.

My parents, for my money, they have all abandoned me, and want me dead.

Zaozao, I have once again become a pitiful abandoned pawn that no one wants. They are our closest blood relatives, how could they do this to me!"
