Looking at Xuan Yue's appearance, King Jin felt a bad premonition in his heart.
"Yue'er, don't do anything stupid!"
Xuan Yue smiled sweetly at King Jin.
"Brother Qingyang, do you still remember what we talked about before I left Youzhou?"
Prince Jin was in a trance for a moment, and the smiling face of Xuan Yue in front of him overlapped with the day when they became engaged.
That day, Nan Qingyang prepared to pack his bags and would set off back to the capital in three days.
He couldn't let go of the girl from the East Wu Kingdom. Although he had found out her identity and knew that he should not have much contact with her, Nan Qingyang still couldn't help getting close to her.
"Your Majesty, that woman wants to see you."
Because the people in the military camp didn't know Xuan Yue's background, let alone her name, they simply called her "that woman."
Nan Qingyang's heart moved, "Let her in."
Xuan Yue walked in briskly, but didn't say a word and looked hesitant.
"What's your business?"
"Can I...can I go with you?"
Nan Qingyang was so shocked that he almost dropped the hilt of the sword in his hand.
"What did you say! Do you know what this means in Da Zhou?"
"I know! I also know that women in your Great Zhou Dynasty value faithfulness and loyalty, so, so..."
Nan Qingyang almost laughed out loud. It turned out that she was worried that he disliked her. Nan Qingyang looked at her seriously, his eyes fixed on hers, trying to see into her heart.
"Have you really thought it through? Going back with me might put you in danger."
Xuan Yue's identity is too special. If she hides in any corner of the Great Zhou under an assumed name, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack for the East Witch Kingdom to find her.
But he is the Prince of Jin. If she marries him, Xuan Yue will become the highly-watched Princess of Jin, and there is a risk of her identity being discovered at any time.
Xuan Yue's face turned red as she was stared at by him, but her eyes were firm.
"I've made up my mind and I won't regret it. I once heard a story from the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the story, a man and a woman who loved each other but couldn't be together turned into butterflies after death and stayed together forever. I envy them very much. If one day I really can't avoid bad luck, I will turn into a butterfly and wait for you to reunite..."
Nan Qingyang had never met such a straightforward and frank girl in his life, and his face turned red after hearing these words.
"Okay, then I'll send someone to take you to the Shen Mansion tomorrow and give you a new identity..."
The two looked into each other's eyes, full of affection, just as they were now.
"Yue'er, don't!"
Prince Jin broke free from his memories in an instant, because he understood Xuan Yue's meaning. He took a step forward, but he was too slow.
Xuan Yue snatched the round jade from Gu Zhi with one hand and took out a dagger from her sleeve with the other.
He aimed at his own heart and stabbed it hard with the knife!
puff!
The blade of the dagger was completely embedded in Xuan Yue's heart, and blood flowed out.
"Yue'er!"
"No!"
Prince Jin and Gu Zhi roared together.
Xuan Yue pressed the hand holding the three pieces of the Holy Spirit Talisman fragments tightly against his chest, and used his other hand to forcefully pull out the dagger.
puff……
The blood gushed out from Xuan Yue's heart and splashed all over the fragments of the Holy Spirit Talisman.
Xuan Yue used all her remaining strength to stuff the three blood-stained fragments into Nan Rongjing's mouth.
Although Nan Rongjing was conscious at the moment, he could neither move nor speak. He just stared blankly at his mother taking out his heart blood.
Xuan Yue's body fell like a fallen leaf and was caught steadily by King Jin. Her life slowly flowed away with the blood and her body gradually grew colder.
"The Saint's heart blood can control the gold-eating Gu just like the Holy Spirit Talisman. This, this is the Saint's most secret power..."
"Yue'er... No, don't die. We just reunited, don't leave me!"
"Brother Qingyang, I will turn into a butterfly and wait for you. You, you must live well..."
"Do not!!"
Xuan Yue's hands dropped weakly, and she fell into King Jin's arms. At the last moment, a smile appeared on her lips again.
Just like her ancestors, all they want in life is to survive and let the next generation survive as well.
Xuan Yue did it.
Gu Zhi was shaking like a sieve and his eyes were red.
"No, you can't just die like this! You can die for Nan Rongjing, so why didn't you save me back then!"
Lin Yushu's nose felt sore and her throat was blocked.
"Only if she shows that she doesn't care about you and refuses to take out the gold-eating Gu for you, will the people of the East Witch Country let you go. After all these years, don't you understand?"
After hearing Lin Yushu's words, Gu Zhi fell silent.
Lin Yushu no longer paid attention to him. She stared at Nan Rongjing, fearing that the opportunity Xuan Yue had exchanged for her life would ultimately be ineffective.
The gold-eating insect near Nan Rongjing's heart slowly lit up again. It did not move towards Nan Rongjing's heart, but slowly moved towards his throat.
A moment later, a thumb-sized poisonous insect emitting golden light crawled out of Nan Rongjing's mouth.
"Quick! Catch the insect!"
Emperor Ming had been waiting for this moment. The moment the gold-eating insect appeared, he shouted loudly to the inner guards.
Hearing this, Prince Jin, who was immersed in sorrow, did not move. Lin Yushu, who was looking after Nan Rongjing, did not move. Strangely, Gu Zhi, who had always been determined to get the gold-loving Gu, did not move either.
Emperor Ming did not notice their abnormality. All he had in his eyes was the gold-eating Gu that he had been thinking about for more than twenty years. He did not even glance at Xuan Yue who died tragically in front of him.
After the gold-eating insect crawled out of Nan Rongjing's mouth, it followed the blood trail and crawled towards Xuan Yue.
Upon hearing Emperor Ming's order, the inner guards in the distance rushed towards the gold-eating Gu.
However, something terrifying happened.
After the first inner guard caught the gold-eating insect, he was not even happy yet because the insect went through his palm as if his palm was made of tofu.
Then came the second one, the third one... All the inner guards' hands were pierced by the gold-eating insect, and no one could catch it.
"Ahhh my hand..."
There were constant screams in the hall.
The gold-eating insect was still moving slowly towards Xuan Yue. Lin Yushu could see clearly that it was attracted to Xuan Yue's heart.
Obviously, Prince Jin also saw it, and his grief-stricken eyes suddenly became sharp. If this poisonous insect dared to eat Xuan Yue's heart, he would kill it as soon as possible!
Only after all the inner guards' hands were disabled did Gu Zhi take action.
He picked up the fragment of the Holy Spirit Talisman that Nan Rongjing spat out, which was still stained with Xuan Yue's heart blood. His hands made complicated movements, and Lin Yushu recognized that this was the gesture that Xuan Yue had used before.
The gold-eating insect froze suddenly, slowly turned around, and crawled towards Gu Zhi.
When Emperor Ming saw this, he was instantly furious.
"Useless bastard, why don't you quickly capture the thief from the East Witch Nation."
Emperor Ming's reason was still completely overwhelmed by the temptation of the gold-eating Gu, and he had forgotten Gu Zhi's threat just now.
The inner guard endured the severe pain in his palm, barely picked up the sword, and staggered over to kill him.
Gu Zhi curled the corners of his mouth slightly and turned the round jade in his hand.
"what!!!"
Emperor Ming cried out in pain and fainted.
