Xiao Ziyun looked at her panic with amusement, and Youmeng timidly lowered her head: "The old lady in your pavilion had caught me for a blood sacrifice before, and wanted to use me to refine a Gu..."

Xiao Ziyun smiled even more: "No, she likes you. Your blood is a great tonic for our Gu."

At that time, he was tied to a secret room and witnessed the man being peeled and bleeding, and died in screams little by little. The bloody and cruel scenes surged into his mind again. Youmeng closed his eyes hard and calmed down: "Okay, if I can really save my father, I promise to be your sacrifice."

Xiao Ziyun raised her eyebrows secretly, a little surprised, then lowered her eyes and sighed: "He is a filial daughter."

Youmeng didn't speak, looking at her cautiously and fearfully.

Xiao Ziyun raised her eyes charmingly: "Forget it, I won't joke with you. Actually, I'm not sure that I can help you find the ephemeral fleece, but I have a way to try it, it depends on whether you dare?"

"Dare!" Youmeng didn't think without hesitation, "In order to save my father's life, I dared anything, you said it."

Xiao Ziyun looked at her with a smile, and she had a deep meaning in her silence.

Youmeng frowned: "Don't you really want me to sacrifice, do you?"

Xiao Ziyun smiled even more mysteriously: "Show you something."

She took a secret bag from her waist, untied her belt, took out a small glass bottle from it and handed it to Youmeng.

Youmeng held it in her palm and looked carefully. There was a bean-shaped thing in the bottle, flashing with blue light. She couldn't help but exclaim: "Is this a gem? It's so beautiful."

"Have vision." Xiao Ziyun looked quite contented, "This is Wannian Gu, one of my most proud Gu insects."

Youmeng shook his palm slightly and looked at her hesitantly: "It... can really help us find the fish bone cereal?"

"The Gu can control people's thoughts or be dominated by people's thoughts." Xiao Ziyun took the bottle back and said, "I will put this Gu on you, use your thoughts to drive it, and help you go to the mountain to find the fish bone cereal. Your will is strong enough, and it will obey you and guide you."

The science of Gu is profound, and Xiao Ziyun knows that no matter how thoroughly she says about a layman like Youmeng, she doesn't understand it. She can only talk about this simple and vagueness, which makes her understand it in half.

"Then will this thing stay in my body? Will there be a backlash?" Youmeng asked again.

Xiao Ziyun glanced at her with an evil look: "Of course, from now on, it will merge with your blood, and use your blood as nutrients to slowly suck you dry day by day."

"Is it also like the rumors that every time there is an attack?" Youmeng was worried, "Will it hurt when it occurs?"

Xiao Ziyun couldn't help but laugh: "I lied to you, and I will naturally have a way to take it out of your body afterwards."

Youmeng was stunned and stared at Xiao Ziyun blankly, as if she didn't understand why she was teasing herself like this. Xiao Ziyun couldn't help laughing: "How could I bear to give such a precious Gu to you easily?"

Youmeng lowered her head gloomyly, thought about it silently, and finally nodded.

"Then use your method." As she said that, she turned her eyes and looked at Li Feng worriedly, "But she has to hide it from the prince."

"He is afraid you will be hurt?" Xiao Ziyun understood it and looked with her, appreciating Li Feng's graceful style that was focused on helping, and every move was revealed. "I heard that he is the prince of Yunnan and a child who grew up in the southern Xinjiang area. I believe he knows that the poison is dangerous, so he will definitely not let you take risks."

"My father and Uncle Mu Wang were both poisoned and their lives were in danger. The situation was imminent. I could not find the medicine and I had almost no choice at the moment." Youmeng withdrew her gaze and looked at her with a firm look, "I believe you this time."

Xiao Ziyun gradually stopped smiling, and there was an emotion in her deep eyes that was invisible.

She brought Youmeng into the house and put the small bottle of Gu aside. She had no smile on her face and stared at Youmeng solemnly: "As a Gu master, I would like to remind you again, no Gu can be completely harmless to people. There is a price to make profits with Gu. Have you figured it out?"

Youmeng's expression after careful consideration, nodded firmly. Xiao Ziyun took off her scabbard with a delicate and short, exotic painted dagger, took off her scabbard, held Youmeng's left palm, and used the tip of the knife to slash out a symbol-like wound. Blood was instantly secreted, and Youmeng pursed her lips and gritted her teeth to endure the pain.

After finishing the last stroke of Xiao Ziyun, she opened the glass bottle and poured the Gu on Youmeng's palm. When the Gu smelled the fragrance of blood, it seemed to be regaining vitality and slowly wriggled towards the wound...

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

In Yuxiu Palace, the scorching sun shone a white light on the courtyard open space in front of Jingrui Palace. The palace master Lin Zhaoyi and the palace people who served her had been kneeling under the scorching sun for an hour.

The queen stood proudly under the eaves of the palace, looking coldly at the courtyard, and there were several concubines standing beside her, no one dared to say anything.

Lin Zhaoyi's back was wet with sweat, and she was extremely tired at this moment. Her lips turned white and she thought in fear. It was only a few days before the accident happened to the Concubine Lan Jie of Yining Palace. She never thought that the disaster would come to her so soon.

"This morning, a few guards committed crimes. The Criminal Office led people to search their residences and found some purses and silk from one of the pillows. The girl's craftsmanship is very good, but they are all fancy and erotic things after all." The queen glanced at Lin Zhaoyi with disgust, "Another question, it turned out to be the one with the palace maids around you."

Lin Zhaoyi closed her lips and said silently. Among the palace maids behind her, Ping'er raised her head uneasyly, looked at her master, and soon lowered her guiltyly again.

The queen sneered: "Ha, what's the turbulent atmosphere in our harem? If we don't properly rectify it, you will be in a mess?"

The palace maid and the guards had an affair, and the matter was not serious, but it was not decent after all. Although the person who made the mistake was Lin Zhaoyi's maid, Jingrui Palace was directly under the jurisdiction of Yuxiu Palace. Everyone could see that the queen was slapping Saki Concubine in the face this time.

"Empress, since the matter is in Jingrui Palace, Lin Zhaoyi will definitely find out the whole story. It will not be too late to send the palace maid who committed the crime. Why did the Empress say that she would kneel down?" Concubine Shu advised her kindly, looked up at the sky, and immediately covered her eyes with a round fan. "The sun is so big outside, Lin Zhaoyi will kneel for a long time and will have heatstroke."

"The palace maids have a bad moral character, and there must be a master who will stubbornly steer the upper beam and the lower beam is crooked." The queen looked at her coldly, "Is it too much for the Japanese Palace to ask Lin Zhaoyi to kneel outside the hall for two hours to think about his mistakes?"

"Empress..."

"Concubine Shu, the Concubine Lan Jie in your palace made a mistake that day. You just copied the palace rules. Are you coming to plead with mercy again today?" The queen blocked her without hesitation, "Please take care of yourself."

Concubine Shu had no choice but to stop her voice and bow her head respectfully, while the other concubines were even more silent and frightened.
