The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

As soon as Su Yanqi returned home today, he saw Shi Bo coming to report that an old friend had come to visit.

Su Yanqi rushed to the front hall to meet him, but he didn't expect that the person who came was Nie Zhuyang.

After the two exchanged greetings, Nie Zhuyang told Su Yanqi that he had found the rare herb and wanted to ask Su Yanqi to help him refine it, but it happened that Su Yanqi was getting married the next day.

Nie Zhuyang had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being. He instructed his maid Mei Tan to present a wedding gift to Su Yanqi and reminisce about the past with him in the front hall.

Thanks to Aunt Fang's help, the affairs of the Su Mansion were arranged in an orderly manner. Su Yanqi was relaxed, but he was also excited and looked forward to tomorrow's arrival.

At dinner, he was in a rare good mood and drank happily with Nie Zhuyang.

After dinner, he dragged Nie Zhuyang to Cuohezhai to drink tea and play chess.

As the two chatted, they walked to the lotus pond near Songming Garden, and unexpectedly heard two palace servants whispering behind the rockery.

A eunuch whispered, "Tomorrow, I'll have to trouble Madam Jin to add this aphrodisiac to the wedding wine. After it's done, we can return to the palace to report."

The nanny said worriedly, "What if we are discovered? We can't afford to offend Princess Azhao. I think it would be better to take the veil and report back. It will be safer."

The eunuch disagreed: "The wedding veil can be faked, so we'd better be cautious. Don't worry, the medicine I brought is from the palace, it is colorless and tasteless, only a small amount is needed, the effect is fast and strong, and it will never be discovered. Let's just treat it as a way to cheer up Princess Azhao and Mr. Qi."

Seeing that the nanny was still hesitating, the eunuch emphasized his tone: "Nanny Jin, you also know the inside story of this marriage. Why did His Majesty send us to the Su Mansion? Afterwards, he asked us to go back to the palace with Concubine Wan to report? Before leaving the palace, I heard that there was something behind what Eunuch Wu said, so I resorted to this desperate measure. If Princess Azhao and the Seventh Young Master fail to consummate their marriage tomorrow, and His Majesty blames us, how can you and I escape responsibility? Do you really want to be severely punished by His Majesty?"

The nanny's face changed drastically and she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Nie Zhuyang, who was hiding not far away, listened to the conversation between the two with great interest. He couldn't help laughing and said jokingly, "Ah Qi, your Majesty is really leisurely. He even wants to ask about such private matters as whether you and your new wife performed the Zhougong ritual on your wedding night?"

Su Yanqi's face darkened and he turned around and glared at him coldly.

Seeing that he was angry, Nie Zhuyang quickly pursed his lips, closed his mouth, and looked away guiltily.

Su Yanqi was annoyed by what the palace servant had just said, and with a stern face he ordered the servants to take Nie Zhuyang to Zhuliyuan to rest first.

"Brother Nie, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I'll go and deal with this matter. How about inviting you to play chess another day?"

Nie Zhuyang was quite tactful: "It just so happens that I have been traveling for many days and I am indeed a little tired now. I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he took Mei Tan and left.

Su Yanqi watched Nie Zhuyang's back disappear, and pinched his nose in annoyance. Just as he was about to walk to the rockery to ask the two palace servants questions, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a sense of panic and uneasiness surged in his heart.

Su Yanqi frowned, pressed the painful area uncomfortably, and his body swayed slightly, as if he was standing unsteadily.

Seeing this, Shi Bo reached out and supported him.

"Sir, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"

Su Yanqi was in a trance for a while, feeling a little strange. It had been a long time since his chest hurt like this. Why did it happen again today?

Su Yanqi almost fainted from the intense pain. He gritted his teeth and said to Shi Bo, "Hurry... help me back to Cuohezhai."

Shi Bo noticed something was wrong with Su Yanqi and was shocked. Their young master looked like he was seriously ill.

He quickly helped Su Yanqi back to Cuohezhai and laid him down, and found that Su Yanqi's hand was always on his chest, and his face looked extremely painful.

Shi Bo was immediately panicked: "Sir, are you feeling unwell? I'll call a doctor to check you out."

Su Yanqi comforted him: "Uncle Shi, I'm fine. Maybe I've been overworked these days and I'm a little tired. Go and close the door and light a stick of incense that His Royal Highness Prince Qian made for me. I'll be fine after lying down for a while."

Shi Bo did as he was told, and after a while, Su Yanqi smelled the faint soothing fragrance, slowly closed his eyes, and the pain gradually subsided.

Shi Bo covered him with a quilt and left quietly until he fell asleep.

As the night deepened, the wind became cold and the sky became gloomy, and heavy snow began to fall.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yanqi woke up from the nightmare. He felt dizzy, his whole body was weak, and his throat was dry and uncomfortable. He threw back the quilt, got out of bed and got some water to drink.

At this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps and shouting outside the garden, as if someone had forced his way in.

Shi Bo, who was dozing off at the door, opened his eyes, but before he could yell, he saw Huo Yunjue running towards him, holding Ning Ziqing, who was covered in blood.

"Seventh Prince, please save Qingqing quickly, she is seriously injured and is dying!"

Su Yanqi in the room was startled and the cup of water in his hand fell out of his hand and broke into pieces.

He rushed out of the room and was shocked to see Ning Ziqing lying dying in the arms of the wounded Huo Yunjue. Both of their clothes were stained with blood. This shocking scene hurt Su Yanqi's eyes.

Su Yanqi's pupils trembled, endless panic came over him, and his heart seemed to skip a few beats.

He hurried forward, took Ning Ziqing from Huo Yunjue's arms and carried him into the house.

"Quick! Bring King Qian the life-saving pill!"

"There are also medicine boxes and silver needles. Bring them to me quickly!"

Su Yanqi tried his best to stay calm. He carefully placed Ning Ziqing on the wedding bed and grabbed her wrist to feel her pulse.

However, Ning Ziqing's pulse was so weak that it was almost undetectable.

"No, Qingqing, wake up! Don't fall asleep! You must hold on, I will save you!"

Su Yanqi was in a panic. With trembling hands, he fed Ning Ziqing a pill and repeatedly pierced her key acupuncture points with silver needles.

However, no matter how hard he tried, Ning Ziqing still didn't react at all.

"Why is this happening!"

Su Yanqi's emotions completely collapsed. He turned around and grabbed Huo Yunjue's collar and questioned him harshly, anger surging in his scarlet eyes.

Huo Yunjue's face was filled with guilt and self-blame. He lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly into Su Yanqi's eyes.

"I wanted to see Qingqing for the last time... When I went to find her... I met an assassin from the Wu Clan... In order to save me, she blocked a fatal palm for me..."

Before he could finish his words, he was hit hard by Su Yanqi's punch and staggered back a few steps.

Shi Bo was shocked.

"Young Master, calm down and do not offend the Fourth Prince!"

He grabbed the furious Su Yanqi and signaled Yan Si and others to come in with his eyes.

"The Fourth Prince is injured. Why don't you help him down and treat his wound?"

Huo Yunjue refused to leave, and begged Su Yanqi in pain: "Cousin, I was wrong, I beg you, save Qingqing, as long as she can wake up, even if you beat me to death, I will not fight back!"

Su Yanqi's cold eyes flashed with hatred, and he glared at Huo Yunjue: "I can't feel Qingqing's pulse anymore, how can you let me save her!"

Huo Yunjue was horrified, and rushed over to grab Su Yanqi's arm and shook it unwillingly.

"You are the only one with the best medical skills right now. If even you can't save Qingqing, who else can save her?"

Su Yanqi stared at Huo Yunjue with eyes as cruel as knives, feeling filled with remorse.

"If you had known this, why didn't you let go? I shouldn't have given Qingqing to you. You would only kill her!"

Su Yanqi pushed Huo Yunjue away coldly and ordered Yan Si and the others, "Send the Fourth Prince out immediately and don't let him step in again."

"I won't leave. I want to stay and wait for Qingqing to wake up!"

Huo Yunjue struggled hard as Yan Si and the others pushed and pulled him.

Su Yanqi glanced at him coldly: "Are you worthy? Qingqing is my wife. If she can't make it, I will be the only one to send her off."

Huo Yunjue's heart sank, and he was speechless when he met Su Yanqi's eyes full of blame and resentment.

He was dragged out of the room, and just as Su Yanqi closed the door, Yaoyao hurried over.

She raised the sandalwood box in her hand and said, "I went back to the mansion and brought back the Youhua Guimeng. Hurry up and give it to the little beauty. Didn't you say it was a panacea that could bring the dead back to life? After taking this, the little beauty will be fine."

Huo Yunjue's eyes lit up, and he finally remembered that there was this treasure.

"I had almost forgotten about it."

He snatched Youhua Guimeng from Yaoyao's hand with surprise and stuffed it to Su Yanqi through the crack in the door.

"Seventh Young Master, give it to Qingqing quickly."

Su Yanqi's brows relaxed slightly, he opened the box, took out the elixir that was glowing with a faint blue light, and walked towards the bed.

At the same time, a figure suddenly dropped from the sky, quickly flashed into the house and stopped Su Yanqi.

"You can't give her this. She has been poisoned by the witch clan's poison skill - the witch charm palm. Her tendons and veins have been broken and the poison has penetrated deep into her bones. If you don't suck out the evil spirit from her body, even if she takes this elixir, she will only become a living dead and will never wake up!"

"You bullshit!"

When Huo Yunjue saw that the person coming was actually Mo Zhanchen, he drew out the Qingxu sword in rage and was about to rush in to kill him.

"You actually escaped!"

Yaoyao exclaimed, raised the whip and swung it fiercely at Mo Zhanchen.

Mo Zhanchen did not dodge, but steadily caught the whip from Yaoyao, and blood instantly oozed out of the palm of his hand.

"I didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, try taking my pulse again."

He looked at Su Yanqi with a firm gaze.

Su Yanqi did not hesitate, put away Youhua Guimeng, and took Ning Ziqing's pulse again.

He examined the patient attentively for a long time, his expression becoming more and more solemn: "Sure enough, there is an unknown gas wandering in Qingqing's body from time to time."

Upon hearing this, Yaoyao retracted the whip and threatened Mo Zhanchen fiercely: "Since you are a member of the Wu clan, you must know how to get rid of this ghost palm. Go and get rid of the evil spirit from the little beauty right now, otherwise, I will kill you!"

Mo Zhanchen shook his head helplessly: "I am just an unknown junior in the Wu clan. It is not my turn to learn such a unique skill. If you want to remove the evil spirit, you need the great elder of the clan who has a high level of internal skills to perform the 'Yuan Yang Gui Zhen Jue'."

He looked at Ning Ziqing, who was breathing weakly on the bed, and said anxiously, "But right now, the third young lady is in a critical condition. Water from afar cannot quench a nearby fire. This method will not work."

The hope that Huo Yunjue and the others had finally ignited was extinguished once again, and everyone was shrouded in despair and grief.

The house fell into dead silence.

Yaoyao was so anxious that her eyes turned red, and she angrily grabbed Mo Zhanchen's neck.

"You're kidding us, aren't you?"

Seeing that the young man had no ill intentions and was very concerned about Ning Ziqing, Su Yanqi hurried forward to persuade Yaoyao.

"Yaoyao, this little brother risked his life to escape and tell us this. I believe he also wanted to save Qingqing."

Su Yanqi asked Mo Zhanchen tentatively: "Little brother, do you have any other way to get rid of this evil spirit?"

Mo Zhanchen nodded firmly: "I have a way."

Everyone was delighted and gathered around excitedly.

Huo Yunjue urged Mo Zhanchen anxiously.

"Why are you still standing there? Tell us how we can save Qingqing?"

Mo Zhanchen hurriedly took out a tightly sealed bamboo tube from his arms.

"There is a pair of mother and child Gu insects in here. I need to plant the mother Gu in one person and the child Gu in Miss Three's body, and then use this pair of mother and child Gu to suck out the evil spirit in her body."

He glanced at the crowd and asked, "Who of you is willing to come?"

Huo Yunjue and the others said in unison: "I'll do it."

Yaoyao rushed to push Huo Yunjue aside and said, "Fourth Prince, you are seriously injured and cannot continue to struggle. I am in better health than you, so let me do it!"

She patted her chest, signaling Mo Zhanchen to plant a Gu in her.

"Boy, stop dawdling and get started."

Mo Zhanchen refused: "You can't do that either!"

Yaoyao was stunned and shouted unconvincedly: "Why can't I do it? Don't look down on me!"

Mo Zhanchen ignored her and explained to everyone, "To plant the mother Gu, the other party must be the third lady's closest relative."

After he finished speaking, Yaoyao and the others' eyes fell on Huo Yunjue at the same time.

Huo Yunjue's expression became serious and he stood resolutely in front of Mo Zhanchen.

"Don't fight, I'm the most suitable one."

Mo Zhanchen looked at him with complicated eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he fell silent again.

Su Yanqi noticed Mo Zhanchen's strange behavior and asked in confusion, "Little brother, what kind of Gu is this? Does it have any side effects?"

Mo Zhanchen said frankly: "This is a love-eating Gu. It parasitizes in the host and feeds on love. If two people in love plant the mother and child Gu, they will naturally live in peace. But if one party breaks the oath, the Gu will bite back. When the poison attacks, it is like a thousand arrows piercing the heart, and the limbs and bones are eaten by thousands of ants. They suffer every day and live a life worse than death."

"To save the Third Miss, one person must lead the way. After both parties have planted the Love Devouring Gu, I will use magic to transfer the evil spirit from her body to the mother Gu. Then, you can give her the elixir that can bring her back to life, and she can be saved."

Then, he changed the subject: "It's just that the Gu worms will become poisonous insects under the influence of evil spirits. The person who is planted with the mother Gu will have to endure twice the pain of the Gu poison. And I still haven't mastered the method of removing the Gu worms from the human body."

"Fourth Prince, given your current physical condition, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand the backlash of this love-eating insect."

After hearing the pros and cons pointed out by Mo Zhanchen, Su Yanqi was slightly stunned. He had never expected that the side effects of the love-eating insect would be so horrifying.

But Huo Yunjue was firm in his attitude.

"Don't worry about me. Saving the Third Miss is the most important thing. Plant the Gu quickly!"

Yaoyao's expression tensed, and she stood between him and Mo Zhanchen: "Fourth Prince, are you crazy? If you do this, you will die!"

Huo Yunjue pushed her stubbornly: "Yaoyao, get out of the way! If you delay any longer, Qingqing will die!"

Time is running out, and they know that Ning Ziqing can't wait any longer!

The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment, and Yaoyao had to reluctantly step back.

Huo Yunjue then winked at Mo Zhanchen.

Mo Zhanchen knew that he had no other choice, so he decisively removed the wax seal on the bamboo tube.

"Fourth Prince, quickly cut a hole in your wrist with a knife. I want to release the mother Gu."

Huo Yunjue nodded and lifted up his right sleeve. When he raised the knife halfway, Su Yanqi suddenly moved over and pressed his acupoint.

Huo Yunjue's body went limp and he fell straight down.

Su Yanqi squatted down, picked up the knife in his hand, and cut his wrist.

Huo Yunjue raised his eyes and looked at Su Yanqi in disbelief, trying to stop him: "You, can't..."

Su Yanqi stared at Huo Yunjue indifferently, his eyes paranoid: "Why can't I? Don't forget, Qingqing is my wife now, she is my dearest and dearest person, this love-eating Gu, only I can plant it with her."

"You! You're not qualified!"
