That day, after walking out of the Queen's Kunning Palace, Nan Huaishuo wiped away his tears, straightened his clothes, and returned to his usual gentle and elegant demeanor, making it impossible for anyone to tell that there was anything wrong with him, and he slowly walked out of the palace.

He knew that the Queen was testing him, and he also knew that the Prince could not die in a short time.

In order to prolong the prince's life, the queen and the prince tried every possible means and finally found an effective method.

Every year they would send people to remote areas of the Great Zhou to find pregnant women who were about to give birth and abduct them all.

Until the day when the pregnant woman gives birth, they will take the placenta of the pregnant woman and the heart blood of the newborn baby, and use secret methods to refine a life-extending medicine.

Every time a life-extending elixir is refined, ninety-nine pregnant women and their unborn children are required.

Although the pregnant women who were abducted did not actually need to die, the Queen and the Crown Prince were afraid that the matter would spread, so these pregnant women would be ruthlessly executed on the spot after giving birth, and their bodies would be thrown directly under a remote cliff or into a mass grave together with their children.

They have been doing this for nearly ten years, and many times Nan Huaishuo personally supervised the work.

So Nan Huaishuo knew that the prince would not die in the short term and would live at least one or two years, but he could not wait any longer.

But since being summoned by the Queen that day, Nan Huaishuo began to desperately urge Gu Zhi to complete the medicine refining as quickly as possible.

He knew that he had temporarily suppressed the Queen's suspicion, but he didn't have much time left.

A queen is a queen after all.

When it comes to choosing a crown prince, the queen is the only person in the harem who has a say besides the queen mother.

If the empress was firmly opposed, Nan Huaishuo would have to put in a lot of effort to get Emperor Ming to ignore the empress's wishes and resolutely make him the crown prince.

Nan Huaishuo didn't want to cause trouble as it would cause more variables.

He just wants to pay the lowest price and get the biggest benefit.

Obviously, the scene of brotherly love three days ago, coupled with the drunkenness poison in front of him, was enough to completely solve the matter.

As long as the crown prince died, Nan Huaishuo had the support of the empress and the ministers, and it would be impossible for Emperor Ming not to make him the crown prince!

Nan Huaishuo withdrew his thoughts and looked at the wooden box in Gu Zhi's hand, which contained the drunkenness Gu. He sighed softly.

"I wanted to give her another chance, but now it seems... no need."

Gu Zhi held the wooden box obediently. He knew that these words were not meant for him, so he pretended not to hear Nan Huaishuo's words and just waited obediently for Nan Huaishuo's order.

Nan Huaishuo walked up to Gu Zhi and whispered a few words to him. Gu Zhi showed a hint of surprise, but immediately lowered his head and responded.

"By the way, the Prince of Jin also fell ill two days ago. His personal bodyguard Mu Shang is now temporarily in charge of the Yulin Guard."

"Oh?"

Nan Huaishuo became interested after hearing that. You know, that was the famous Jade-faced King of Hell in the capital, who killed people without blinking an eye, and his notoriety was on par with that of King Zhao.

But it is undeniable that Nan Rongjing is extremely capable, and the Yulin Guard is growing stronger day by day under his leadership.

Now it has reached a point where no one can easily shake it.

Such a person would never give up power because of illness. Is it possible that Nan Rongjing's time has come?

What an eye-opener.

The two people who annoyed Nan Huaishuo the most were actually going to die together hand in hand!

Nan Huaishuo still remembers how Nan Rongjing uprooted the chess pieces he had painstakingly cultivated over the years, one by one!

As a result, he was almost left with no one to rely on, and all his years of hard work went to waste.

At that time, Nan Huaishuo made up his mind that after he ascended the throne, Prince Jin, Nan Rongjing, and even Lin Yushu's family would all kneel at his feet and beg for his forgiveness.

Then, Nan Huaishuo would kick their faces away and chop off their heads with a knife!

What’s even more infuriating is that the damn Nan Rongjing actually hooked up with Lin Yushu. Seeing that the woman he liked was going to marry a man who made him suffer a loss and helpless, Nan Huaishuo’s hatred for the two of them grew stronger.

If he had the chance, he would definitely make Nan Rongjing and Lin Yushu suffer a fate worse than death!

"Keep watching the Prince Jin's Mansion and report any disturbances to me."

"Yes!"

On the other side, Lin Yushu, whom Nan Huaishuo had planned to kill a thousand times, was now sitting in the newly built pharmacy in the courtyard, staring at the bubbling medicine in front of her.

In order to make it easier for Lin Yushu to make medicine, Lin Ling simply asked several soldiers under his command to build a small house in Lin Yushu's yard.

Although the house is built simply, it has everything needed and is very small and exquisite.

In this way, Lin Yushu's main room no longer had to be filled with the smell of medicine all day long, making the maids dizzy.

There was blood-red medicine boiling in the medicine pot in front of her. Lin Yushu covered her mouth and nose with three handkerchiefs, but could still smell the strong smell of blood, as if there was a pot of boiling blood.

Ever since Nan Rongjing left for Youzhou, Lin Yushu has been staying in the pharmacy all day for the past two days.

She deliberately gave all the anti-gu powder she had prepared to Nan Rongjing, but he refused.

Ever since she learned that there were people using Gu around Nan Huaishuo, Lin Yushu had already made some Gu-avoiding powder to prevent the Gu insects from getting close to her.

But Nan Rongjing has a special physique. The gold-eating Gu in his body can be called the king of Gu. As long as the gold-eating Gu is there, all other Gu insects will avoid him. No poison and no Gu insect can poison him. It can be said that he is immune to all poisons.

But Lin Yushu was still worried. She had never been an indecisive person, she just kept him in her heart.

To be on the safe side, her father and brother, the Duke of Qing's mansion, and the maids and servants around her all have anti-gu powder. Of course, the servants in the mansion were splashed with it by Leng Dai without knowing it.

The boiling blood in front of him was the new poison that Lin Yushu had been refining for nearly a year.

This poison was an idea of ​​hers in her previous life. In order to help Nan Huaishuo defeat his enemies, she enjoyed researching various poisons suitable for assassination.

The medicine in front of her was one of them, but unfortunately she had not succeeded in refining it until she was placed under house arrest in Qifeng Tower.

But right now, this medicine is about to succeed!

Lin Yushu hates mild poisons, and she also doesn't like poisons that are too dirty or look bad. She loves poisons that are violent and bloody inside, but peaceful and tranquil outside.

As the medicine soup became thicker, the blood red color gradually deepened, but the bloody smell gradually disappeared.

Until Lin Yushu could no longer smell any strange odor, she moved the medicine stove away from the fire, and the bubbling sticky medicine slowly stopped churning.

A smile appeared on Lin Yushu's face. When the medicine dried and turned into powder, she would be able to get the poison of her dreams in her previous life - Hua Yan!
