Chapter 172
Only when Lin Susu disappeared into Prince Li's palace did she know that Zhu Yan had entered the palace.

She was bored and waiting in the study room, her peripheral vision scanning a thick stack of rice paper on the desk.

Pulling out a piece of paper, I saw that the entire page was filled with fonts as elegant as willow script and as unbridled as cursive script.

It's a strange combination. They are obviously two contradictory styles, but they can be blended together to form distinct personal characteristics.

Putting down the paper, she saw a few piles of books on the table, picked up one and read it, frowning slightly.

His eyes fell on the pile of books and he quickly opened them to check.

"Six Tao", "Wei Liao Zi", "Three Strategies"...

Without exception, they are all military books.

"..."

Lin Susu threw down the book with a snap, holding her forehead in silence.

Zhu Yan is such a scourge because he is ignorant and has no skills! !
Look at the sun, it's almost noon, and I don't know when he will come back.

Lin Susu looked at the pile of books, hugged them in her arms, and prepared to take them home to be treated with the elixir. She must not let the villain continue reading!

It is difficult to deal with an uneducated villain, but a villain who is well versed in the art of war is not like a tiger with wings, invincible!
As soon as she walked quickly to the door, footsteps suddenly came from outside. Lin Susu hurriedly covered herself up and stood in the corner.

The door was pushed open with force, Zhu Yan covered his throat, stumbled in, waved his sleeves, and the door closed with a bang.

His body was slightly stooped, and he knelt down on the ground unable to do anything. He put his forehead to the ground and let out bursts of suppressed and broken moans.

The dark purple brocade robes were spread out in layers, and the young man huddled up into a ball, his fingertips clenched to the ground, and they soon bled.

Lin Susu froze on the spot and asked the system, "What's wrong with him?"

"It's the 'Heaven and Earth Together'. This thing has the ability to destroy and repair at the same time. Except that it can't resurrect life, it can reset everything else."

"Including breaking or repairing the plane!"

"Locked around the neck, it can crush the flesh and blood all over the body while leaving the person alive, while quickly repairing it. Repeatedly, it makes life worse than death."

The system sighed with some pity.

Lin Susu's heart suddenly felt stuffy, and she couldn't help but rub her chest, trying to dispel the discomfort.

“What can be done to alleviate it?”

Although she deserved this misfortune, she really couldn't be happy seeing him in such pain.

The system sighed, "Only its key can open it, and the person holding the key can control this thing."

"key!"

Lin Susu suddenly realized that Zhu Yan had just returned from the palace, and the key could control this thing!
Now that he is in so much pain, doesn't it mean that the culprit is torturing him with the key at the moment!

Lin Susu dropped the book in her hand and teleported directly to Gu Yue's palace, and at the same time relieved the sequelae.

The atmosphere in the palace was depressing. The maids came and went in silence, but their feet made no sound.

She followed the maid to Gu Yue's palace. A group of eunuchs and maids lined up on both sides, waiting in silence with their heads lowered.

Pushing open the palace door, the servants waiting on the left and right were startled. They couldn't see Lin Susu and thought the door was blown open by the wind. They were so frightened that they hurriedly closed the door.

The room darkened, and a cold air spread.

Strips of water-red gauze hanging down like waterfalls, dancing lightly.

Approaching the bed, Lin Susu saw Gu Yue wrapping her head in black silk.

She knelt on the ground, curled up into a ball, and said nothing, except for a few strands of white hair inadvertently leaking out from her shoulders.

Gu Yue didn't make any moves...

Thinking that the key is with Emperor Zhou, is it possible that the person controlling the key at this moment is Emperor Zhou?

Where is Emperor Zhou?
Lin Susu took out the detector and began to search the palace for the scent of the key.

Yonghegong, no!

Qinzheng Palace, no!

……

After searching all over the palace, there is still no clue of the key!

how so!
Panting, she returned to Gu Yue's palace, stared at the woman huddled in a ball in the corner, and took a deep breath to calm down.

Even though she wanted to rush up and grab Gu Yue's neck and ask her about the whereabouts of the key, she couldn't alert him like this!

Gotta go according to plan...

Acting hastily will only be counterproductive.

"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door, and a eunuch said humbly, "My dear, Master Xiao is here."

Gu Yue moved, and an old voice came out from her throat, "Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man came in. His face was gloomy and his lips were purple. This was a characteristic of a Gu Master who controlled Yin Gu.

"Meet the saint!"

The man bowed his hands in greeting.

"How?" Gu Yue's voice was hoarse and her tone was sinister.

Cold sweat broke out on the man's forehead, "Saint, forgive me, I am incompetent!"

"Ah……"

Gu Yue let out a ghostly sneer, her voice slightly out of control and sharp, "What use do I have for you trash!"

The man's legs went weak, he knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly, "Perhaps...finding the legendary 'Flower of the Earth' at the end of the Ten Thousand Gu Domain can unlock this weird curse!"

After saying that, he glanced at Gu Yue cautiously, "It's just...to this day, the only one who has been to the end is Young Master Yan!"

"My subordinates have received news that a young girl broke into the Ten Thousand Gu Territory some time ago...and finally returned intact."

"After that, the Qingchuan plague was miraculously cured under a heavy rain."

"In full view that day, many people saw that Young Master Yan seemed to have a close relationship with that girl..."

There was silence in the hall, and you could hear a needle drop.

After a long time, Gu Yue shouted, "Get lost!"

The man felt reborn and walked out the door on his knees.

"Come here, tell King Li!"

Gu Yue ordered in a cold voice, and a eunuch followed the order and left.

After hearing this, Lin Susu teleported directly back to the study room of Prince Li's Mansion, this time without using the invisibility skill.

Zhu Yan's sharp gaze quickly locked on her, stood up from the ground tremblingly, and asked coldly.

"Just now, did you see it?"

Lin Susu saw the pile of books scattered on the ground at her feet when she teleported, and knew that she couldn't quibble, so she simply admitted it.

"You saw it, what? You want to kill someone and silence them? In the next life!"

The girl raised her chin high, raised her lips triumphantly, wore a pretty pink dress, and had sultry eyebrows, as bright and fearless as ever.

The young man's eyes darkened little by little, his fists clenched under his sleeves, and waves of embarrassment and self-loss that almost drove him crazy surged in his heart.

After a long time, he trembled and uttered a sentence.

"roll!"

Lin Susu, "..."

As expected of a mother and son, they even asked people to leave.

She looked indifferent, thought for a moment, and asked awkwardly, "It doesn't hurt anymore?"

Zhu Yan looked at her darkly and did not answer.

Lin Susu was slightly embarrassed and coughed.

This scourge still had the energy to keep an eye on her, so he didn't expect it to hurt anymore.

"Well, Concubine Yue seems to have sent someone to find you."

She told him everything she saw and heard just now, hoping that Zhu Yan could figure out Gu Yue's intentions and take precautions in advance.

After saying that, Lin Susu was ready to go out. When she walked to the door, she thought of the pile of books again, hurriedly turned back, picked them up one by one, and walked out the door.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Zhu Yan's eyes were always on her. She smiled cheekily, patted the book in her arms and said.

"Not suitable for children, confiscated!"

Zhu Yan, "..."

Watching the girl disappear from sight step by step, he could no longer hold back and vomited a large mouthful of blood, his figure crumbling.

The young man's face was pale at this moment, like a poppy that had lost its beautiful color, revealing a pure and thin coldness.

After closing his eyes and enduring for a moment, news came from the Forbidden Butterfly outside the palace courtyard.

There are people from the palace.
