The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Nian Shilan glanced at Zhen Huan, her eyes full of comfort, "You don't have to think too much, we can stop the enemy with our troops and cover the water with earth."

Zhen Huan sighed. This was all that could be done now.

After a few days, Nian Shilan received news that a person who was proficient in witchcraft had been found.

Nian Shilan said that this person would come to the Summer Resort in two days and wanted to meet him.

On the appointed day, a mysterious old man came to the Summer Palace. After showing the token, Xiao Xia Zi led him into the main hall of the Qingliang Palace.

After the old man entered the hall, he saw Nian Shilan and bowed, saying, "I, Fang Zhongyi, pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."

Nian Shilan looked at Fang Zhongyi and said calmly, "You said you are proficient in Gu magic?"

Fang Zhongyi knelt on the ground and said in a calm voice: "Your Majesty, I am a master of Gu Shu and can cure all kinds of strange poisons and evil Gu."

Nian Shilan smiled faintly when she heard this, "I summoned you here today because there are some things in my heart that I don't understand, and I want to hear the master's thoughts."

Fang Zhongyi said confidently: "Your Highness, please feel free to ask me. There is nothing in the world of witchcraft that I don't know."

Nian Shilan said "Oh" with some amusement, looked at Fang Zhongyi and said: "Does the world really have witchcraft? What are their uses?"

Fang Zhongyi heard Nian Shilan's question and said, "Of course there is witchcraft. There are twelve kinds of witchcraft. Snake witchcraft, golden silkworm witchcraft, bamboo strip witchcraft, stone witchcraft, loach witchcraft, poisonous spirit witchcraft, malnutrition witchcraft, swelling witchcraft, epilepsy witchcraft, Yin snake witchcraft, raw snake witchcraft, and love flower witchcraft. Different witchcraft insects have different uses."

Nian Shilan smiled faintly and asked, "Is there a poisonous insect that can make people do whatever they want?"

Fang Zhongyi said without hesitation after hearing this: "Of course there is."

Nian Shilan looked at Fang Zhongyi with a look of scrutiny in her eyes and said, "Then I wonder if Master Fang can prepare it?"

Fang Zhongyi didn't expect that Nian Shilan told him to prepare poisonous insects. He was stunned for a moment, but he still replied subconsciously: "I can prepare..."

Nian Shilan looked at Fang Zhongyi with some amusement and said, "Then why don't you show me your skills, Master Fang?"

Fang Zhongyi paused again after hearing what Nian Shilan said, and said after a moment's hesitation: "Your Majesty, you don't know that it takes some time to cultivate the Gu worms, and it can't be prepared immediately."

Nian Shilan nodded and said, "In that case, Master Fang, please stay in this summer resort for a while. You can leave after Master Fang has made all the arrangements."

Fang Zhongyi never expected that Nian Shilan summoned him here not to ask questions, but to ask him to cultivate poisonous insects for her. For a moment, he didn't know how to refuse.

Nian Shilan said with a tone that left no room for argument: "Master Fang, are you unwilling?"

Fang Zhongyi was startled by Nian Shilan's aura and quickly shook his head and said, "No, I didn't. I just heard that the Queen wanted me to help check some things. I don't know if the Queen wanted to prepare poisonous insects. Many things are in my residence and I didn't bring them here. This..."

Nian Shilan waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "It's okay. In that case, I'll send someone to help you get the things over, so that you don't have to make multiple trips if you can't get much at once."

Fang Zhongyi's mouth twitched slightly and he wanted to say something, but seeing that Nian Shilan didn't want to be refused, he swallowed the words.

Fang Zhongyi had no choice but to agree and go back with the people sent by Nian Shilan to get the things.

Fang Zhongyi was uneasy all the way, not knowing what Nian Shilan's intention was. Didn't that person clearly tell him that as long as he could prove in front of Nian Shilan that there was nothing unusual about her things, he could ask her for a reward? Why did he have to stay with Nian Shilan now?

Compared to Fang Zhongyi's brainstorming at this time, the people sent by Nian Shilan were not in a state of panic. They just kept an eye on Fang Zhongyi and tried not to let him run away.

Soon Fang Zhongyi arrived at his residence. He originally wanted to go into the room alone and leave a note for that person, but the person sent by Nian Shilan wanted to follow Fang Zhongyi into his room without giving Fang Zhongyi any chance to refuse.

Fang Zhongyi looked at the people sent by Nian Shilan and said with a flattering smile: "There are many poisonous insects in my room. Please move outside and wait."

The man sent by Nian Shilan said righteously, "It's okay. If we don't move, the poisonous insects won't attack us for no reason. Even if we have an accident, I think you, sir, won't sit idly by."

Fang Zhongyi was choked by the words of the visitor, and couldn't think of a better excuse for a moment. The person sent by Nian Shilan said again: "Please move faster, sir, and don't keep the queen waiting for too long."

Fang Zhongyi had no choice but to turn around and walk into the house. He searched the house for a while, took out a small black box, and carefully put it in his arms.

At this time, a guard stepped forward and said, "Master Fang, if there is nothing else, let's set off."

Fang Zhongyi nodded and followed the guards back to the Summer Resort.

After returning to the villa, Fang Zhongyi was taken to a remote room where Nian Shilan had been waiting for a long time.

"Master Fang, have you got all the things?" Nian Shilan asked.

"Here it is, Your Majesty." Fang Zhongyi said as he handed the black box to Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan took the box, opened it and saw a tiny bug inside, wriggling constantly.

"Is this the poisonous insect that can make people obedient?" Nian Shilan looked at the poisonous insect with interest.

Fang Zhongyi nodded quickly, "This Gu is called 'Mind Control Gu'. Once implanted into a human body, it can control that person's mind."

Nian Shilan frowned slightly, "So powerful? Is there a solution?"

Fang Zhongyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, there is, but..."

"But what?" Nian Shilan's eyes turned cold.

"But the solution is quite complicated and requires some special medicinal herbs." Fang Zhongyi said with his head down.

Nian Shilan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, just tell me what herbs you need. If this is done, I will reward you handsomely; but if it fails..."

"I understand. I will do my best and will never let the Queen down!" Fang Zhongyi kowtowed repeatedly.

Nian Shilan nodded slightly, "Let's get started."

Fang Zhongyi stood up, took out a small bottle from his arms, opened the bottle cap, and blew gently at the insect. The insect was attracted by the breath and slowly crawled to the mouth of the bottle.

Fang Zhongyi carefully poured the poisonous insects into the bottle and then closed the lid.

"Empress, all we have to do next is wait for the poisonous insect to grow. During this period, Your Majesty must not let anyone know about this." Fang Zhongyi said.
