The assassin stabbed down with the dagger in his hand. In an instant, the blood sprayed and dripped onto Xuan Yue's face, extremely cold.

Gu Zhi fainted from the pain.

Just when the assassin was about to find another way to torture Gu Zhi, the inner guard appeared and the assassin was killed by surprise.

There were constant sounds of hacking and killing all around, and then the opportunity for the fight between the assassins and the inner guards. Xuan Yue endured the severe pain and walked through the thick smoke, slowly crawling towards Gu Zhi who was lying in a pool of blood.

Tears blurred Xuan Yue's eyes. How could she not remember Gu Zhi? He was her first child.

But for the Holy Lady of the East Witch Kingdom, the boy she gave birth to did not belong to them, but to the royal family.

On the day Gu Zhi was born, he was taken away, and today was the second time that mother and son met.

When Xuan Yue escaped from the East Wu Kingdom, she was unable to take away this son whom she had hardly ever seen. She didn't even know what Gu Zhi looked like, she only knew his name.

And every night she spent in Da Zhou, she would see a boy with an unclear face asking her for help in her dreams.

Gu Zhi is the person she feels most sorry for and the person she is most powerless to help in her life. He is the pain in her heart that she dare not touch.

Just like today, it was her mother who made him suffer!

Xuan Yue used a handkerchief to stop the bleeding from Gu Zhi's wound, and secretly took out a piece of the Holy Spirit Talisman and stuffed it into his arms.

Xuan Yue knew that she would die today, and she hoped to do something for Gu Zhi before she died.

Gu Zhi’s status is not enough to make him the king of the East Wu Kingdom, not to mention that he has injured his descendants, so his best destination is to become a priest.

The status of a priest is determined by his ability to raise and refine Gu. The Holy Spirit Talisman has extremely strong Gu-controlling abilities. It can control not only the gold-eating Gu, but all the Gu insects weaker than the gold-eating Gu.

With this fragment, Gu Zhi's future life might be better...

After doing everything, Xuan Yue fell weakly beside Gu Zhi, waiting to die quietly.

Suddenly, two assassins broke out of the encirclement and took advantage of the gap when the inner guards were unable to stop them to feed Xuan Yue a fake-death drug.

"withdraw!"

The assassin who was preparing to evacuate did not expect that there were guards lying in ambush outside Prince Jin's Mansion. The assassin who just rushed out was slaughtered instantly.

On the other side, the inner guards began to clean up the mess.

"Why is there another child?"

"No matter what, they are from the Eastern Wu Nation anyway, so drag them out and bury them together."

"What about Princess Jin?"

"Do those people from the East Wu Kingdom really think we can be fooled? I saw it clearly when they were feeding the medicine to Prince Jin's Mansion."

"Chief, was Princess Jin poisoned to death?"

"She's not dead. She'll stay where she is. We'll have a chance to dig her out later!"

……

"Do you know how I crawled out of the mass grave? Do you know how many times I almost died on the way back to the East Witch Kingdom? Do you know how much torture I suffered in order to become a priest?!"

Gu Zhi's eyes were red as he stared at Xuan Yue.

"There is a saying in the Great Zhou Dynasty: cut flesh to repay mother. The piece of flesh I dropped that year is what I returned to you. You are no longer my mother. I have tried every possible means to find you. My purpose is to get the Gold-eating Gu! With the Gold-eating Gu, I can become the high priest!"

By then, he would definitely kill the king and high priest of the East Witch Kingdom to avenge his previous humiliation!

Back then, when the young Gu Zhi crawled out of the rotten corpse, he found the jade in his arms.

He was very smart and guessed at a glance that there was a fragment of the Holy Spirit Talisman hidden in the jade. He also knew that it must have been left to him by his mother.

So he decided to return to the East Witch Kingdom and take back everything that belonged to him!

Gu Zhi hated the king and the high priest of the East Wu Kingdom, and he hated Xuan Yue even more. He worked hard to raise and refine the Gu until he sat on the throne of the priest of the Black Water Tribe. Finally, he had the capital to take revenge!

All the assassins died back then, so no one knew where the gold-eating Gu was, but Gu Zhi knew. He knew that the gold-eating Gu was in the capital of the Great Zhou.

Unfortunately, Gu Zhi was too young at that time and had no idea what Xuan Yue's identity was at that time. He also couldn't recognize the Prince Jin's Mansion that was rebuilt after the fire, and he didn't know whether Xuan Yue was dead or alive in the end.

Therefore, he planned in the capital for nearly ten years before he found her, the gold-eating Gu!

"Cough cough cough..."

Emperor Ming, who had been forgotten by them, started coughing violently when he heard this.

"How dare you, a mere priest of the East Wu Nation, speak so arrogantly in front of me? You can't take the Gold-Eating Gu away today, and you have to leave your life behind!"

As soon as Emperor Ming finished speaking, more than twenty guards appeared from inside and outside the palace and surrounded everyone.

Gu Zhi glanced at the sickly Emperor Ming with contempt, and mixed a little medicine powder with blood on the round jade in his hand.

Suddenly, Emperor Ming's expression tightened, and his whole body was enveloped by severe pain, which made his eyeballs almost pop out.

"You! It was you who poisoned me?"

Seeing Emperor Ming's face full of disbelief and confusion, Gu Zhi smiled sinisterly.

"The poison was planted on you by your own son, Nan Huaishuo. If it weren't for him, how could I have easily walked into the inner courtyard of the imperial palace!"

Nan Huaishuo! Damn it!

Emperor Ming waved his hand angrily and was about to order the arrest of Gu Zhi.

"I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise if the poisonous insects in your stomach start to riot, you will die!"

Emperor Ming was shocked and doubtful, but he did not dare to act rashly. He was the true emperor. If he was poisoned to death by a priest of the East Witch Kingdom, it would be too unfair.

Seeing this, the inner guards who were about to take action took a step back and blocked the entrance and windows of the hall. Although they did not dare to take action, they could not let Gu Zhi get away easily.

Xuan Yue looked at Gu Zhi with tears in her eyes.

"I owe you this, it has nothing to do with Jing'er. If you want the gold-loving Gu, I can get it out for you right now!"

As he spoke, Xuan Yue reached out to ask for the fragment of the Holy Spirit Talisman in Gu Zhi's hand.

"Only a complete Holy Spirit Talisman can control the Gold-Eating Gu. Even if the three fragments are gathered together, it will definitely not achieve the original effect. So if you want to remove the Gold-Eating Gu, you have to cut open its abdomen... Should I do it, or will you do it yourself?"

Gu Zhi looked at Xuan Yue playfully, wondering what decision she would make.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yushu looked at Xuan Yue in shock, hoping that she would say that this was fake and that Nan Rongjing could still be saved.

But Xuan Yue's hand slowly dropped, and she looked at Nan Rongjing with an apologetic look in her eyes.

"Indeed."

Lin Yushu's heart tightened, but she didn't have time to feel disappointed. She immediately turned around and stood in front of Nan Rongjing to block Xuan Yue.

"What does the princess want to do?"

Seeing Lin Yushu's nervous look as she defended Nan Rongjing, Xuan Yue smiled at her lovingly.

"When I heard about your arranged marriage to Jing'er that day, I couldn't help but go to secretly take a look at you. I didn't expect that I liked you as soon as I saw you. I hope you and Jing'er can be happy forever, until you grow old..."

Lin Yushu was a little confused by what she said. Didn’t she plan to remove the Gu anymore?

Xuan Yue turned and looked at Gu Zhi with a miserable expression.

"If you want to remove the Gu, there is another way..."
