The day after receiving the letter, civilians suddenly died in the city for no apparent reason. A family of eight lay peacefully in their beds, with no signs of intrusion by criminals.

The government office could not find the cause and had to report it to the palace.

Lu Yingxue learned the news the next day. There was one person missing from the meeting that day, and when she sent someone to check, she found out that the person was dead.

The death was horrific, with pus all over the body, and no other symptoms.

No one knew who spread the news, but it caused a sensation in the city in a short period of time. People could not help but connect it to the crows that night and speculated that there was an evil spirit in Jinyang.

Wandering sorcerers swindled people under the guise of catching demons and exorcising evil spirits, and people dressed as monks and Taoists could be seen everywhere in the city.

The people gritted their teeth and took out money to buy food. In the most exaggerated case, someone took home nine talismans in one day!

The fortune teller said that nine is the extreme number in destiny, and a set of talismans can ensure that evil spirits will not dare to approach.

The government office worked with the royal palace to arrest rumormongers in groups, and the prisons were overcrowded.

Lu Yingxue stood on the towering city wall of Jinyang, watching the orange-red sunset sink into the distant mountains.

The wind on the city wall was very strong, making clothes and flags rustle. The whistling sound blocked out the noise inside and outside the city, allowing her to devote herself to thinking.

People died suddenly and inexplicably, the cause of death could not be found, rumors were rampant, and the people were in turmoil...

Xiao Shuang's strange influence on animals, especially insects, the sudden white hair, the silk threads wrapped around the body and the faint light...

Lu Yingxue believed that the person who secretly planned the unrest in Jinyang wanted to test her control over Jinyang, so as to make a plan to snatch Xiaoshuang based on her response.

Why? For Xiaoshuang’s strange ability.

In her previous life, before she was sidelined, she accidentally heard a secret about the Qiang State. The reason why the new king came to power was that he cultivated the Holy Gu and then controlled the army through the Holy Gu.

After he ascended the throne, all civil and military officials became his puppets.

What was the name of the new king of the Qiang State at that time?

Baili... Baili Ming!

The name of Qiang State is really eerie!

Lu Yingxue had no idea what the connection was between the two, but her sixth sense firmly believed that they were inextricably linked.

Late that night, Lu Yingxue had just fallen asleep when someone knocked on the window. She subconsciously called out to Lu Shen and Lu Xing, but when she got no response, she could only chase after them herself.

In front of the collapsed dangerous building, a tall black shadow turned around and took off his hood, revealing a face with three-dimensional features that were evil and deep.

Those olive green eyes glowed with a faint light, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Prince Baili, perhaps you should call him Your Majesty Baili?"

Lu Yingxue narrowed her eyes slightly, examining the man who shouldn't be here.

Baili Lin raised his lips and said with raised eyebrows:

"Miss, please call me Baili Lin. After all, I will become your brother-in-law sooner or later!"

"Shut up and stop trying to make connections!"

Lu Yingxue wanted to tear him apart. Who wanted him to be her brother-in-law? She couldn't bear to marry Xiaoshuang off!

After livening up the atmosphere, Baili Lin stopped smiling and looked around, his expression becoming very serious.

"Miss Lu, let's get down to business.

I already know about Ning'er's situation. You don't need to worry too much about her situation. This involves the ultimate secret of the Qiang royal family.

I shouldn't have told you, but now it has threatened Ning'er's life. I believe you won't hurt Ning'er, so I decided to tell you, but only to you."

Lu Yingxue asked:

"Is this the source of Xiao Shuang's strange ability?"

Baili Lin nodded, and his voice became distant.

"Legend has it that the phoenix is ​​reborn through nirvana. My royal ancestors were inspired by this and spent 167 years painstakingly researching and developing a method to cultivate a special poisonous insect.

That kind of insect was named Holy Gu, which means holy object. It is very magical and after the final evolution, it can command all things.

But our ancestors valued its other side. Through the symbiotic relationship with the Holy Gu, they could achieve the goal of "breaking out of the cocoon and being reborn" when undergoing the final evolution.

Don't ask what the Phoenix Nirvana and cocoon rebirth have to do with each other. I saw all of this in the Royal Secret Records. If I hadn't been waiting for the coronation ceremony, I wouldn't have been able to understand."

Lu Yingxue pressed her forehead which was aching from staying up late and asked:

"So Xiao Shuang has reached the point of breaking out of her cocoon and being reborn? So will she really be reborn? Then is she still herself?

Also, isn't that holy Gu a sacred object of your Qiang royal family? Where did she get it from?"

Baili Lin pursed his lips, a hint of shame flashing across his eyes.

“I was the one who put the golden cicada Gu on Ning’er, and I didn’t expect that the little golden cicada Gu followed her and not only evolved into a holy Gu, but was also about to reach the final step.

In fact, the Holy Gu is not as mysterious as it is said to be. The so-called rebirth can only make people return to youth. "

That’s all?

Isn’t rejuvenation attractive enough?

What’s the difference between this and taking an elixir of life?

Lu Yingxue had already anticipated the endless troubles in the future, but there were more important things to worry about at the moment.

"If there is a rejuvenating effect, Xiao Shuang won't turn into a child, right?"

Thinking about her sister who had turned into a baby, she inexplicably felt her fingertips itchy and wanted to rub them!

She wants to do everything she didn't do in her childhood!

Maybe if she takes Xiaoshuang out, others will mistake her for her daughter?

Baili Lin looked at Lu Yingxue with disdain as she smiled like an auntie, and directly broke her fantasy.

"It's not that magical. At most, it can only make Ning'er remain a young girl for her whole life. If her bones can even shrink back, it's called a fairy technique, not a witchcraft!

It was rumored that the Holy Gu had the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life, and now with its "rebirth from the cocoon", Ning'er's will probably be fought over by even more people.

I didn't tell you before because I was worried that the secret might be leaked and affect Ning'er's life safety, but now I have to tell you.

Because the news can no longer be covered up. When the real king breaks through the last boundary, that is, the cocoon appears in the world, all the poisonous insects in the world can feel it, no matter how far away they are.

The Qiang people are all a bunch of psychopaths who love playing with poisonous insects, and the royal family is even worse. They are willing to give up their lives and even their rights in pursuit of the supreme poison art.

Some people have already escaped from the Qiang State and sneaked into the Qi State. For Ning'er's sake, I had to take the risk and come to Jinyang in person."

Lu Yingxue sarcastically said to him, "Your Majesty Baili, you don't want a kingdom, you want a beauty?"

The insect sent feedback, saying that something was not right around it.

Baili Lin pulled up his hood, revealing only a pair of faint green eyes in the darkness as he stared at Lu Yingxue.

"Miss Lu, I decided to take over the kingdom for the sake of beauty. Your people are here, I will leave first, otherwise I am afraid you will kill me!"

He turned and disappeared into the night.

Lu Yingxue heard a sentence:

"Miss Lu, I hope that after you gain power, you will not forget your original intention."
