zChapter 1057 - Spying The Truth (2/2)

She breathed in deeply, there were no servants on standby in this bedroom, and even Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s closest servant Yue Xiu was dismissed and could only stand guard outside. This meant that this bedroom was a forbidden area, or in other words, when that wall moved, this area was forbidden.

She did not wait any longer and quickly moved in front of that wall. Pressing the wall a few times, she roughly confirmed the thickness of this wall. Though it was not that accurate, it did not differ that greatly, at least if she used her Space, she could easily enter the other side of the wall.

Feng Yuheng disappeared, counting her steps in the Space, not daring to confirm where she would appear when she appeared on the other side of the wall. If she appeared right in front of Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui, things would be so awkward.

She counted five steps forward and shifted a few steps to the right. Measuring the width of the wall space from outside, she pondered that if she appeared again, she should be located next to the wall. With this, she would not be standing directly in the center, in front of people.

It was a gamble either way, she breathed in deeply and with a mental thought, she exited her Space with a flash, but she completely did not expect that with this appearance, she would stand in water.

Feng Yuheng was stunned, and showed an aghast expression, oh gosh, was this actually a bathroom?

But luckily it was a bathroom, there was too much steam floating around, making the range of visibility very small. In addition, she was very careful when moving, moving and stopping, so, even if she was already aware that two people were bathing together at a diagonal distance of around five steps away from her, she was not detected.

This was the first time she experienced falling in water directly when she came out from her space, Feng Yuheng felt it was disgusting, because this was not just water, this was bathwater, other people’s bathwater, and there was a man and woman bathing together in the water.

The good thing was those two were only teasing each other and did not do anything overly vigorous, the reason why they stopped at teasing each other was because the female lead Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui was currently panicking and had too many questions to ask that man.

Firstly, the first question was: “Why was your bowl of Gu tea useless against Feng Yuheng?”

That man shook his head: “It’s impossible, anyone, even people from the Gu clan, cannot escape from my Gu tea, unless she did not drink it at all.”

“She drank it!” Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui said with certainty, “I saw her drink it with my own eyes, she drank it twice, the first time half a bowl, finishing it the second time. But until she left the palace gates of Cun Shan Palace, there were no signs of her taking ill.”

“How can this be?” That man’s voice was filled with doubt. This was the first time he failed implanting a Gu, and he had failed in such a ridiculous way. Even after thinking for a long time, he could not understand.

And at this moment, Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui threw out a second question, she asked the other party: “That girl already talked about the old man being inflicted with Gu, could it be that she had seen through all our plans?”

That person told Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui: “What can she do even if she saw through it? I implanted a death heart Gu in him, there is no removing it unless I die. But if I die, the old Emperor will naturally die as well, so, even if they know, it will not affect me. Right now, the life of the old Emperor is in our hands, as long as the old Emperor is obedient, what can the girl do even if she could see through everything? Even if she said it out, who would believe her? Even if someone believes it, we have a way to have the old Emperor execute everyone who believes it.”

Having said this much, Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them said nothing more and started to have their fun in the water. Feng Yuheng disappeared into her Space and did not have time to change out her wet clothes. Her mind kept replaying the phrase “Death Heart Gu”, feeling a chill down her spine.

That was the result she was most afraid of, a death heart Gu meant that there was no dispelling it, unless the person who raised the Gu died. However, the most lethal thing was, the death of the person who raised the Gu did not mean the dispelling of the Gu but would bring about the death of the person who was implanted with the Gu. This was too scary, with the implant of this death heart Gu, it was just like what that person said, what could she do? Unless she was able to hand over the Emperor’s life, but, could she do that?

Based on her heart, Feng Yuheng was still attached to the Emperor. The Emperor was a good person before being implanted with the Gu, protecting her from the beginning to the end, and because the old Emperor was protecting her from above, she was able to rise up when she came to this world. Right now, seeing the old Emperor being controlled, she felt an indescribable ache, especially when she saw Imperial Concubine Yun becoming thinner by the day in Chun Palace, she felt even more anxious.

Now she heard it was a death heart Gu, this was the first time in her life that Feng Yuheng felt very helpless, the first time she encountered a problem with no solution. When the medical techniques beyond this era encountered Gu techniques, she was really going crazy with helplessness.

Now she knew who was the person raising the Gu, it appeared that there was no reason for Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui or the Eighth Prince to live. However, she did not wish to act directly and kill those two now, because she was letting them off too easily. Currently, the lower half of the Eight Prince’s body was poisoned, she looked forward to seeing that old Eighth rot to death. As for Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui, she wanted to leave this person to the Emperor one day, letting him deal with her himself. But she did not know if the Emperor still had a chance to do so……
