There was silence all around, and they hadn't recovered from the shock yet. Prince Rui held Qingling's shoulders tightly, his eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Qingling, do you think I haven't thought of this method? But it concerns your safety, and you know what you mean to me!"
"Yes," Qing Ling sobbed and leaned into his arms, and soon she burst into tears, "If you hadn't given me the Hundred Herb Pills that you yourself were reluctant to take, which could resist a hundred poisons and immediately relieved some of the poison after I was poisoned, I would have died in the Prince's Mansion tonight and would never be able to come back to see you again."
Qiaochu felt mixed emotions, not knowing whether it was because Fang Jing was a triple agent, the best in the Infernal Affairs, or because of the relationship between the two people. As expected, it is better to accept the blow as soon as possible.

Thank you for reading. Today's comments in the comment area also made the song mixed with emotions. With all the support and encouragement from everyone, I really don't know what to say. Chuchums's role as a minor role has come to an end. The power struggle that made everyone dizzy and wanted to curse has also begun to ease. Tomorrow will be a new beginning and emotional collision. Dear friends, see you tomorrow.
Chapter 129 The Favorite of King Rui (5)
"Luckily, you taught me to use the flute to report danger when there's no one around. I played the flute in the name of Qiaomei to inform the secret guards outside the mansion of my hiding place, and then Uncle Tie found me."
Qiaochu suddenly remembered the flute sound she heard on a snowy night when she was still in the Prince's Mansion. The Prince was still in her room that night. Now it seemed like a lifetime ago.
It turned out that he was the one who taught her to play the flute.
Prince Ning sighed, "The Crown Princess knows your identity?"
Kou Qingling nodded with a bitter smile, "After getting the fake map, I left the mansion and sent the nearby secret guards to deliver the fake map to the Xianwang Mansion. I quietly returned to the Prince's Mansion to steal the real map. The poison was strong. After being poisoned, I didn't dare to go back to my room as Fang Jing. If the Prince found out that I was poisoned, it would be troublesome. I originally dressed as a man and covered my face to steal the real map. When I fled the study, the situation was too urgent and I didn't even bother to pick up my veil when it fell off. Later, I disguised myself as a maid with raised eyebrows to escape."
Zong Pu pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "When Qing'er usually dresses up as Fang Jing, she still looks like herself, but she has put on male makeup on her face and her neck is covered by a collar. Your Majesty, the Crown Prince already knew that she was a woman and helped her to cover up. Therefore, although Fang Jing is pretty, she doesn't look too feminine. But now that she is wearing women's clothes, she can't fool anyone. You forced her to be the Crown Princess for a while, but she will definitely complain to the Crown Prince later."
Qing Ling smiled softly and said, "I used medicine on her. It was a poison prepared by Jinghong herself. Others can't easily detoxify it, but she knows what to do. Besides, she probably doesn't know that I'm on Jinghong's side. But, I used poison on her, Jinghong..."
Xiao's expression was a little complicated. She glanced at King Rui as she spoke, but King Rui said nothing. He was still using his internal energy to suppress the poison for her.
Prince Ning and Zong Pu looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Prince Ning said, "My second brother has already guessed that the one who stole the real picture was Jinghong's spy. If your identity is exposed, he will tell father and suspect Jinghong, which will be troublesome."
Jing Ping nodded and whispered, "Miss Qingling's mother is the cousin of the Crown Prince's mother and Concubine Chang. Compared with Concubine Chang, the relationship between the Crown Prince's mother and the Crown Prince's mother is deeper. The Emperor likes the Crown Prince for this reason and has intended to marry her to the Crown Prince since she was young. In order to avoid the marriage, the Crown Prince said that women should be as good as men and wanted to realize her ambitions. She was willing to help the Crown Prince ascend the throne as a man, so she talked about marriage and got Fang Jing."
Peilan smiled bitterly, "The Chang family runs a silk and jewelry business, and is a wealthy family in Jiangnan. The Fang brothers were orphans, and were taken in by Concubine Chang. They worked as servants in the Chang family. Later, Fang Xin, the eldest brother of Fang, became the chief steward of the Chang family because of his outstanding work. Qing'er's mother was proud and proud, and was closer to Concubine Fangfei. She often went in and out of the Chang family. She loved Fang Xin and had an intimate relationship with him when he was drunk, regardless of the fact that Fang Xin already had a wife. Later, she lied to Fang's wife that Fang Xin loved her, and tried to force Fang's wife to death. Fang Xin loved his wife deeply and committed suicide. Qing'er's mother realized this and became a nun, but now she had Qing'er, so she gave Qing'er to Concubine Fangfei to raise, but never mentioned who her biological father was."
Qing Ling laughed at herself and continued softly, "Even the Emperor and Aunt Fangfei don't know who my father is. My uncle knows about this and told me quietly when I was young. I took my mother's surname Shen and lived with Aunt Fangfei. Aunt Buxie often brought the Crown Prince and Prince Rui to visit Aunt Fangfei. My mother is good friends with Aunt Fangfei, but I am good friends with Aunt Buxie's son." She paused for a moment and changed the subject, saying, "If Fang Jing's theft of the picture is exposed and the Emperor suspects Jinghong, then I must go back to the Crown Prince's Mansion."
"Can you still go back?"
A voice interrupted Qingling lightly.
Everyone's heart sank. It was King Rui.
Qing Ling was shocked. The sarcasm in his tone was unmistakable. When had he ever tried to talk to her in this tone? He had never even said a harsh word to her. He was angry, angry at her for her self-righteousness, right
Jing Qing stammered, "Master, Miss Qingling is doing this for you, so please stop blaming her."
He was startled by the sound of "pop" and stopped talking abruptly. It turned out that King Rui suddenly took off the iron mask and threw it onto the couch.
Although everyone knew his appearance, he rarely showed his stern face in front of them, even if they were close friends. One reason was to cover up, and the other was that although that face was as beautiful as the prince's, he hated it. Everyone was shocked and became more and more uneasy.
Qing Ling tried to remain calm, but her heart seemed to be grabbed by a vicious hand and began to tremble slowly and gently.
King Rui smiled sweetly, but his eyes were cold. He said calmly, "You will die soon. How can a dead person go back? Huh?"
Qing Ling was shocked, then fell silent, "I don't regret it."
"But I regret it. I must be crazy to love you." Prince Rui raised his eyebrow, suddenly let her go, and slowly stood up from the couch, his beautiful face and sharp eyes full of sarcasm.
Everyone was shocked and stunned. Zong Pu sneered, "Shangguan Jinghong, you are crazy. Qing'er treated you so well, and you actually said that to her!"
Originally, he served Prince Rui as his master, and the two had been monarch and minister as well as close friends for many years. He always called him the Eighth Master, but at this time he called him by his full name, which showed that this calm and composed Chief Justice of the Dali Temple was also very angry.
"Zong Pu, why are you arguing with him?" Qing Ling gritted her teeth, but couldn't help but shed tears, "Then don't love me anymore. I never asked you, the Eighth Master, to love me for anything."
"Brother," Qin Dongning was shocked and anxious, and stepped forward to support Qingling.
Qiaochu was already trembling with fear behind the screen. At this moment, his eyes fell on Qin Dongning and Qingling's clasped and slightly raised hands. He was startled and suddenly thought of two things!
Amid everyone's puzzled gazes, there was suddenly a knock on the door.
King Rui clapped his hands lightly, and two secret guards walked in.

I'll release ChuChu in the next chapter...
Chapter 130: The Favorite of King Rui (6)
On one of the trays was a purple jade bowl with medicinal soup in it. The soup was very light in color and one could clearly see the ginseng slices soaked in it. Snow ginseng has a natural fragrance, and the fragrance of ginseng filled the room as soon as the soup was brought in.
The tray in the other person's hand also contained a purple jade bowl, but the thing in the bowl was strange. It was a transparent insect the size of two fingers, with two heads and a transparent body, and its internal organs could be seen.
Everyone was filled with doubts, but they didn't know what Prince Rui was going to do. Zong Pu was still angry. Prince Ning sneered, "Old Zong, you want our own people to rebel first, right?"
King Rui signaled the secret guards to put the food on the table and asked them to leave. He looked at Qin Dongning and said, "Feed her this bowl of food later."
"Thank you, Eighth Master, for the Hundred Herbs Pill many years ago. It allowed Shen Qingling to hold on after being poisoned and finally memorized the carriage map. I'll memorize the map for you and then we can leave." Qingling smiled coldly, broke free from Qin Dongning's hand, and stood up shakily.
Peilan and Qin Dongning hurried to help.
"Master," Lao Tie, Jing Ping and Jing Qing were also anxious, but Fang Ming whispered to persuade: "Qing'er, Master also loves you, why do you have to be so angry with Master."
"Uncle." Qing Ling smiled bitterly and stroked his chest. His body ached as if burning, his throat itched, and a few fishy and salty taste oozed out of his mouth.
Everyone was shocked. Peilan and Qin Dongning quickly helped her back to the couch. Prince Ning was usually the most indifferent one, but he couldn't help but lower his voice at this time, "Eighth Brother, I know you feel bad, but you are distressed, but why do you blame Qing'er now? You didn't come up with a countermeasure in time, but you would be happy if she died?"
Qiaochu smiled bitterly, why blame him. She thought, she could see the coldness and sadness in his eyes clearly.
Glancing at the grief-stricken Qingling, King Rui smiled and said, "The Shen Qingling I know, how could she not understand that this method is both very good and very dangerous, how could she not understand what the consequences of doing so would be, how could she not understand that I would rather play it safe and win, and not fight for the sake of fighting. You decided to take the risk because you can't wait any longer, you want to help me succeed as soon as possible so that you can return to that man, what I said is right."
Qingling closed her eyes tightly and turned her head to the side.
"This..." Zong Pu was stunned. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. It turned out that Qingling already had someone in her heart, but she was clearly affectionate towards King Rui.
Prince Rui stopped talking, walked to the table, picked up the jade bowl containing the insects and walked back to the couch.
Qing Ling whispered, "Madam, Xiaoyao, help me walk."
"Go away."
The man said lightly, Peilan and Qin Dongning hesitated slightly and let Qingling go.
Qingling was angry, and King Rui sneered and held her in his arms. She was poisoned, and King Rui had a strong grip, so how could she break free? She sobbed and asked him to let her go, and looked at everyone pleadingly, but when everyone saw King Rui's expression, even Zong Pu didn't dare to say anything more.
His hand was tightly holding hers. Qingling felt a sudden chill on her arm. She was startled and saw him pulling up her sleeve and quickly tucking up his own sleeve. His arm was pressed tightly against hers. With his other hand, he picked up the transparent insect and placed it between their arms.
"It hurts," a groan escaped from Qingling's tightly closed mouth.
Qiaochu's eyes were sore, and she probably understood what he was doing.
Everyone outside the screen was shocked, Jing Qing suddenly cried out: "Master, this is the same heart Gu! The Gu has two heads, it bites and sucks two people. I read in the medical book you wrote why you use this Gu, the poison will be transferred to you"

Everyone was shocked, Qin Dongning's body swayed, Peilan quickly supported her and pulled her away. Prince Ning, Zong Pu, Lao Tie, Fang Ming and Jing Ping were about to rush forward to stop Prince Rui, but Prince Rui frowned, not anxious, and said calmly: "Whoever comes up will be killed by me, you know I can do it. If you still regard me as your brother, friend and master, then leave."
The few of them looked at each other, Fang Ming fell to his knees, and King Ning stomped his feet hard and retreated first.
Soon, the insect's transparent body swelled into a round ball, and its entire body was dyed as black as ink. After a while, its body slowly deflated.
Qingling felt the bites of the insects were like needles. The antennae of the insects were so sharp that she was not someone who could not endure hardship. She had screamed in pain several times. The man behind her frowned but did not say a word. Now, after hearing what Jingqing said, he felt a great pain in his heart. He pushed him away helplessly and cried, "Jinghong, I don't want you to save me."
Lao Tie and Jing Ping were like crazy at this time. They rushed forward a few steps and said in a trembling voice: "Master, let me change my servants!"
"I'll do it."
"Old Eight, I'm coming."
Qiaochu covered his mouth, his eyes were wet. For a moment, he couldn't tell who was speaking to whom. It seemed like everyone was speaking, Prince Ning, Zong Pu, Qin Dongning, etc.
Prince Rui stared at the poisonous insect that had gradually regained its transparency, with a slight smile on his lips.
"It can't be exchanged. Originally, things in this world are exchanged for equal value. The Tongxin Gu has two heads and needs to bite two people at the same time. If there is no one to be poisoned, the Gu will never be willing to absorb the poison, otherwise it will die. Do you know why it is called Tongxin Gu? Tongxin means that the person to be poisoned must be willing to do it, without any reluctance. This Gu is extremely sensitive.
