After returning to the prince's bedroom, Zou Jingcheng raised his head and glanced at him, then said in a deep voice,

"Where did you go?"

Nan Yuan looked a little embarrassed,

"Go out for a stroll."

Zou Jingcheng: "The scream just now was you?"

Nan Yuan wiped off his cold sweat: "...Did you hear wrong?"

Zou Jingcheng glanced at him meaningfully, which made Nan Yuan shudder instantly.

He pretended to flip through the scroll in front of Zou Jingcheng, trying to change the subject.

"You... have you found any clues in this scroll?"

But Zou Jingcheng still stared at him,

"What? Did you pee out of fear from a group of bugs?"

"How do you know..." After Nanyuan answered reflexively, he couldn't help realizing something was wrong, and immediately changed his words,

"Don't talk nonsense, where did you see that I was scared to pee?"

Zou Jingcheng: "So you saw a group of bugs?"

Nan Yuan: "..." Arguing with Zou Jingcheng is like digging one's own grave, and he made out of it in a few sentences.

He had to surrender, saying,

"There are some bugs, but I promise, I definitely didn't freak out."

Zou Jingcheng said calmly,

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Helpless, Nan Yuan could only intermittently tell Zou Jingcheng what happened just now, and described the charred palace and the baby cradle next to it in detail.

After hearing what he said, Zou Jingcheng glanced at him and said,

"Is that room so scary? Scared you so much that you ran away?"

Nan Yuan: "..." Is this your point? ? ?

At this moment, Zou Jingcheng gestured to Jiang Qiu who was in the room,

"Why don't you ask Senior Jiang, who lives in the next room?"

Nan Yuan looked confused: "He knows?"

Zou Jingcheng: "Even if he doesn't know, the prince he plays must know. After all, there is a wall between this person and the prince."

At this time, Nan Yuan remembered that they used the status of general to obtain information about the fifth younger brother. Naturally, he could also use the same method to inquire about the affairs of the bedroom next door.

It's just... I played too much just now, I don't know if Jiang Qiu is still willing to help him.

Sure enough, Jiang Qiu frowned even more after hearing his words.

"Why should I help you?"

Nan Yuan laughed and said, "At any rate, we are also classmates, and we are all on the same boat in this examination room,"

Just when Jiang Qiu was about to say something, Zou Jingcheng who was on the side spoke,

"What Senior Nan Yuan discovered just now seems to be somewhat different from what I saw on the scroll. Please ask Senior Jiang Qiu to confirm it."

Hearing the words Senior Nan Yuan, Nan Yuan couldn't help being flattered, after all, Zou Jingcheng had never called himself that in private, so that he almost forgot that he was still two years older than him.

Zou Jingcheng's request was obviously very effective. Although Jiang Qiu had a lot of opinions on Nan Yuan, the overall situation was the top priority after all. He nodded, took out his bracelet and put it on his hand.

At this moment, Nanyuan asked again,

"Who lives in the bedroom next to you?"

Jiang Qiu bowed his head in silence for a moment, and then answered,

"Imperial concubine."

"Empress?"

Nan Yuan couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Jiang Qiu nodded, "But he died in a fire."

Zou Jingcheng couldn't help asking, "When did this happen?"

Jiang Qiu: "It should be five or six years ago."

Zou Jingcheng: "How did the fire start?"

Jiang Qiu shook his head, "I don't know either. At that time, the imperial concubine was in the room, and the fire suddenly ignited, and she didn't escape."

Nan Yuan suddenly remembered something, and said in a deep voice: "Then what about the imperial concubine's child? Have they escaped?"

Jiang Qiu immediately replied: "The imperial concubine has no children?"

Nan Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then said in a deep voice,

"But... I clearly saw a baby cradle in her room."

Jiang Qiu: "Perhaps the imperial concubine is eager to have a child, but she does not have any children under her knees."

Nan Yuan was also puzzled. Jiang Qiu was wearing a bracelet, so it was logically impossible for him to lie. After all, the system would punish him for speaking wrong lines, and he couldn't hide such extraneous things.

At this time, Zou Jingcheng turned his head to look at Nanyuan, and said,

"In this case, you and I will go to the palace to have a look."

Hearing these words, Nan Yuan's hair stood on end again.

I can still vividly remember the little bugs clustered in black lacquer just now.

He suddenly showed a smile uglier than crying, and stammered,

"That... can I not go?"

After Zou Jingcheng glanced at him, he deliberately raised his voice and said,

"Oh, it turns out that you are such a timid campus boss, you'd be terrified when you saw two bugs."

Nan Yuan: "..." Are those two? ? ?

At this time, Zou Jingcheng turned to Jiang Qiu and said,

"Forget it, senior, he's too timid to go, we'd better go."

Nan Yuan's expression changed immediately, and he immediately said,

"Wait a minute! Who said I'm timid and unwilling to go?"

How could he be looked down upon by two frail scholars, Zou Jingcheng and Jiang Qiu?

Zou Jingcheng: "So you are willing to go?"

Nan Yuan: "Of course! Who is afraid of whom?"

Isn't it just a few worms?It's a big deal to trample them to death one by one!

At that moment, Nan Yuan and Zou Jingcheng came to the unoccupied bedroom next door.

Because Zou Jingcheng had the magic weapon of the Gu King in his hands, he saved the step of climbing over the wall.

The bedroom was no different from what Nanyuan saw just now, and the bugs chasing him just now were gone.

At this time, Nan Yuan couldn't help but "Huh--", he pointed to the spider web at the door, and said in a deep voice,

"Just now I clearly pulled away this spider web, why did it re-tie it so quickly?"

"Perhaps, this spider web is a warning."

At this time, I saw Zou Jingcheng snapping off a branch, "Warning that outsiders have broken in."

Saying that, Zou Jingcheng took out the Gu King, spewed out a ball of fire, and set the branches on fire.

"Then why don't we touch this spider web..."

Before Nan Yuan finished speaking, he saw Zou Jingcheng directly raised the torch, only heard a "Zi Zi" sound, and the spider web was instantly burned to ashes.

Nan Yuan: "..."

The next moment, Zou Jingcheng handed the torch to Nan Yuan,

"Take it if you're afraid."

"Who is so scared?"

Even so, Nan Yuan still took the torch.

In the next second, Zou Jingcheng raised his foot and kicked the door open.

Nan Yuan: "..." Look at this rude look, who is the school bully?

Zou Jingcheng stepped into the room without hesitation, and Nan Yuan could only follow closely behind, and walked in with him.

The scene inside the room was the same as what Nanyuan saw just now, the shape of the burnt and charred dressing table, wardrobe, bed, and the very abrupt cradle.

At the same time, the rustling sound came out again.

Nan Yuan couldn't help reflexively grabbing Zou Jingcheng who was at the side,

"That bug came out again, countless bugs!"

"Oh." Zou Jingcheng responded.

Nan Yuan said anxiously: "Then hurry up and run! Anyway, you have seen what this bedroom looks like!"

Are you still waiting to be bitten by bugs?

Zou Jingcheng's voice was very calm, "Don't be afraid."

This tone is like coaxing a child.

The corners of Nan Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, but at this moment, he had no time to refute Zou Jingcheng, and felt that the mass of black bugs had already swarmed in groups.

"Hey! If you don't go, I will go first!"

However, the next moment, his wrist was pulled, and then he pulled his whole body over with all his strength, Nan Yuan staggered, and his whole body was almost clinging to Zou Jingcheng's body.

"Hold me, hold me tight, don't let go."

"What are you doing at this hour..."

Seeing the swarms of insects rushing towards them like locusts, Nanyuan felt ashamed for a moment, thinking that he should die here.

However, at this time, a strange thing happened, and the little bugs stopped half a meter away from their feet, spinning around in place, but stopped moving forward.

It seemed as if there was an invisible barrier beside them, blocking their steps.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing this situation, Nan Yuan couldn't help but relax his vigilance, and stretched out his hand to let go of Zou Jingcheng's arm. However, the moment he let go, those insects rushed towards him, and Zou Jingcheng caught him in time at this moment. After stopping him, the bugs that had already climbed onto Nan Yuan's feet retreated quickly again, and gradually retreated outside the barrier.

Zou Jingcheng: "Didn't I remind you not to let go?"

Nan Yuan was speechless,

"Are you poisonous? All these bugs go around you?"

Zou Jingcheng laughed lowly,

"Yeah, after all, the Gu King is in his body, gathering all the poisons into one."

Nan Yuan was taken aback for a moment,

"You said, these bugs are afraid of the Gu King?"

Zou Jingcheng nodded, "Because they are all Gu insects."

Nan Yuan: "..." Why is this palace full of Gu worms.

Zou Jingcheng continued, "This kind of Gu is called Spirit Devouring Gu, which is born of resentment. When it encounters the breath of living beings, it will pair up and attack. However, because this kind of Gu has a limited range of activities, it can only be fixed. There's a place where you can escape just by leaving the place."

Nan Yuan suddenly realized, no wonder these Gu worms did not chase after him after he escaped from this bedroom. It seems that the range of activity of this Gu worm is in this bedroom.

However, did Zou Jingcheng memorize all the books on witchcraft?Are you so familiar with these types of Gu insects?

After knowing the characteristics of this Gu worm, Nan Yuan also dispelled some of his fears, and walked in with Zou Jingcheng.

Finally, Zou Jingcheng stopped in front of the baby cradle.

I saw that the cradle was densely packed with spirit-eating Gu, and it kept gushing out, it was very scary.

Nanyuan suddenly felt goose bumps.

Zou Jingcheng: "It seems that this spirit-eating Gu crawled out from here."

Nan Yuan couldn't help but slightly frowned,

"I don't know what's in there?"

However, in the next second, Zou Jingcheng stretched out his hand directly, and reached into the place where the spirit-eating Gu was densest!
