After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Chapter 455 The Prince is Truly Useless

Xie Xing nervously swallowed.

[It's over, I'm going to die.]

"Cough cough cough." Luo Hanfeng clutched his chest and spat out another mouthful of blood.

He said, "If Master doesn't believe me, he can check it out."

Xie Xing stared incredulously at the back of Luo Hanfeng's head.

[Brother, did you really put a Heart-Eating Gu on me?]

How is this possible?

To save her life, she swallowed the poison first.

Luo Hanfeng's master clearly didn't believe Luo Hanfeng's words. He used a palm suction force to pull Xie Xing over and placed his fingers on Xie Xing's wrist.

Xie Xing's heart was pounding with anxiety.

The cold fingers on my wrist felt like a venomous snake slowly coiling around my wrist, eventually wrapping around my neck and strangling me bit by bit.

Xie Xing was breathing rapidly.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Hanfeng's master threw Xie Xing heavily to the ground.

Xie Xing was slammed to the ground, tears streaming down her face from the pain.

"Since you've planted the Heart-Eating Gu, this person is now just a pawn in your game. Use them until you're done, then kill them."

After uttering such a casual remark, he turned and left, holding the old princess in his arms.

The old princess turned her head to look at Xie Xing, hesitated for a moment, then pursed her lips and left.

Only Luo Hanfeng and Xie Xing remained.

Xie Xing felt like she had escaped a disaster. After the others left, she sat up abruptly, panting, and placed her fingers on her pulse, but couldn't feel it no matter how hard she tried.

What's going on? Has my body really been infected with a Heart-Eating Gu?

Before the system could speak, Luo Hanfeng said, "The Gu you swallowed has a similar aura and pulse to the Heart-Eating Gu."

However, considering that Luo Hanfeng's master and the old princess had not gone far, Luo Anfeng stopped talking after saying that.

The two were silent for a while.

Luo Hanfeng reached out to Xie Xing, "Help me up."

Xie Xing pursed his lips, crawled over to Luo Hanfeng, and barely managed to help Luo Hanfeng up.

The two left, one leaving a deep footprint and the other a shallow one.

Luo Hanfeng leaned his head on Xie Xing's shoulder, his heavy body pressing down on Xie Xing, who gritted his teeth and used all his strength to drag Luo Hanfeng away.

He said, "I saved you, how can I repay you?"

Xie Xing remained silent.

Regardless of whether she remained silent or not, Luo Hanfeng continued:

"Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. You have no way to repay this kindness, so why not become my seventh prince's consort?"

Xie Xing broke her silence this time and asked, "Now that I've become the Seventh Prince's consort, how is Xie Mingzhu doing?"

"You two are inseparable, bound by life and death. If you want to marry me as the Seventh Prince's consort, then what will Xie Mingzhu be?"

"Luo Hanfeng." Xie Xing's expression turned serious. She turned her head and looked at him earnestly: "Don't forget, the one who made you look so pathetic and was chased by others before was me."

The smile on Luo Hanfeng's face disappeared.

The two stood very close, their eyes meeting.

Luo Hanfeng seemed to be seeing Xie Xing's eyes clearly for the first time.

Her smile is like a starry night, but if you look closely, you'll see a layer of ice that you can't melt away.

Luo Hanfeng's expression gradually calmed down.

The blood at the corner of his lips added a touch of bewitching allure to his handsome face. He said, "But how will you repay the life you owe me today?"

Xie Xing shook his head: "Seventh Prince, that's not how you do it."

"You've tried to kill me more than once or twice, Seventh Prince, do you remember?"

No matter how much Luo Anfeng said he loved her, or even how he had just shielded her from his master's heavy blow, Xie Xing felt no ripples in her heart.

Luo Hanfeng said everything he said about loving her.

Luo Hanfeng did everything he could to harm her.

Does the fact that it didn't succeed mean the harm doesn't exist?

Threatening with chokeholds and poisoning...

Of course, Xie Xing didn't do many good things for Luo Hanfeng either.

Mocking, framing, scheming...

Xie Xing wouldn't boast about how good she was to Luo Hanfeng; she wasn't a good person, and Luo Hanfeng wasn't an innocent victim either.

Because of their differing stances, the two of them can never be together.

Just as he was thinking this, Luo Hanfeng's soft voice came from beside him: "I am a bit demanding."

Xie Xing: "..."

At this moment, at the foot of the mountain of the Yama Palace.

Hua An and Qi Yu traversed mountains and valleys, finally arriving at the foot of the mountain following the Gu worms.

Upon seeing this place, Hua An's expression changed drastically. He pulled Qi Yu aside and asked, "Are you sure we're here?"

"This is the Hall of Yama, the assassin's palace in the martial arts world."

Qi Yu said, "My Gu proves that Miss is right here!"

"That's going to be a tricky situation."

His expression changed slightly, and he paced anxiously in place for a moment.

“There is a killing formation outside the Yama Palace. There is absolutely no way the two of us can get in.”

"We should go to the Prince about this first."

With that, Hua An turned to leave.

Qi Yu grabbed Hua An, "Last time you went to find that prince, you still couldn't save my young lady, could you?"

"If you ask me, the prince is utterly useless!"

"We'll find a way in and steal the young lady out!"

Qi Yu's eyes gleamed.

Hua An angrily retorted, "You ignorant brat, my lord is not a useless person at all."

"If he hadn't been injured, would His Highness have failed to save Miss Xie?!"

Qi Yu said coldly, "If you're not going, I'll go alone."

"Hey, eh, eh."

Seeing that he was about to turn and leave, Hua An quickly grabbed Qi Yu.

"You little rascal, you're fearless like a newborn calf. You went in and got killed."

"Then what to do."

Qi Yu glanced at him.

"I'll act according to the circumstances. I'll send a letter to the Prince first."

With that, Hua An pulled Qi Yu away.

Qi Yu: "..."

……

the other side.

in the palace.

With Jun Lanjin no longer suppressing the court, the emperor's power was centralized, finally bringing peace to the previously chaotic court.

However, Emperor Chu found dealing with memorials increasingly troublesome.

Normally, he would ask Jun Lanjin to come and help him with the memorials, but now, he was alone, which made the already poor health of the Chu Emperor even worse.

Moreover, the eldest prince's rebellion enraged the Chu Emperor, causing him to become severely irritated and further weakening his health.

The Chu emperor could no longer hold on and summoned his only trusted son.

The sixth prince, Luo Huaichuan.

"Sixth Brother, come here and take a look at these memorials."

The Chu Emperor, with a headache, pushed these memorials towards Luo Huaichuan.

Luo Huaichuan took the memorial and read it, and found that it was a denunciation of Jun Lanjin.

I flipped through several more pages, and they were all filled with criticisms of Jun Lanjin.

Luo Huaichuan's eyes flashed, and he immediately said, "Father, it seems that these ministers have all conspired to criticize Prince Jin."

"Prince Jin wields too much power and refuses to relinquish it, so I..."

The Emperor of Chu paused as he spoke.

Whether Jun Lanjin's bloodline is pure or not will always be a thorn in his side.

But at this time, he cannot allow the imperial physician to perform a blood test to verify their kinship.

There are many spies in the palace, and the biggest fear is that someone with ill intentions will spread these matters.
