However, the Empress didn’t find it strange to take out anything. Her master was from the immortal sect, so the immortals had everything!

Su Qing did not care what these people thought. She watched as the blood was injected into Li Daniu’s body and went to take his pulse. Although there was no heart recorder or blood pressure recorder, Su Qing’s pulse was not inferior to these precise instruments. Li Daniu’s pulse was much stronger.

Su Qing also gave Li Daniu some Vitality Pills made with meat lingzhi and precious herbs to protect Li Daniu’s heart. After using a few methods together, Li Daniu was finally saved.

The guards who gave the blood were allowed to return and rest, and each was rewarded with five taels of silver. Those with different blood types were highly vexed. Why was their blood different from Li Daniu’s?

The floor of the room was filled with blood and the smell of the dead insects. Xiao Zeyu ordered the servant girls to clean it up. The servant girls were frightened by the dead insects and trembled as they came to clean it up, afraid that the terrifying insects would jump out from the blood.

Under Su Qing’s treatment, Li Daniu finally woke up a day later. However, he was still under the control of the evil technique. His eyes were green and had a strange red color.

She couldn’t kill him, but it was hazardous to keep him alive.

Xiao Zeyu could only bring him back to the capital. Su Qing had studied many ancient recipes these days, but no medicine could restrain the dead gu.

This annoyed Su Qing. If she couldn’t produce the preventive medicine, the Great Tang would be in for a catastrophe.

Su Qing went to the prison to interrogate Ming Zhu, wanting to know who taught her the death and love gu.

Ming Zhu couldn’t stand the torture anymore. She also mentioned a Miao person.

This Miao person had started teaching them the art of witchcraft before Yelu Chun attacked the Kazak Kingdom. When the Kazak Kingdom was destroyed, he saved the two sisters. After that, he taught them how to charm men and use love witchcraft.

After the two of them finished their studies, they were given missions. One went to Tartan to put the love gu on Yeluchun, and the other went to Mo City to put the love gu on Li Daniu.

This person had powerful intelligence. He knew the exact time Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu would leave the capital and had made extensive arrangements. It could be said that every step was within his calculations, and he did not make any mistakes.

However, Su Qing was uncontrollable, which caused this plan to fail.

“Who is this Miao person?”

Xiao Zeyu asked Ming Zhu, who shook her head.

“My master always wears a mask, so no one has seen his true appearance. We don’t even know if he’s a man or a woman. Sometimes, he uses a woman’s voice, and sometimes, he uses a man’s voice. There were also times when we wanted to see his true appearance, but we were punished and never dared to have such thoughts again.”

Ming Zhu had finished explaining everything. She collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.

“I only wish for a quick death. I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish.”

“Kill her!”

Ming Zhu’s life had no value anymore. Su Qing coldly ordered.

A woman’s kindness could not make her a monarch. This kind of person was the opposite. If you let her off, she would come looking for you for revenge. This was why you had to cut the weeds and remove the roots.

Su Qing could not leave Mo City before making the antidote to the Death Worm. Her intuition told her that the Miao people were active in this area. Just like how she and Xiao Zeyu treated Mo City as their base, they also treated it as their northern area.

“Take this with you. With it, you will be immune to all poisons.”

Su Qing gave Xiao Zeyu a pouch. This pouch was filled with a poison concocted from precious herbs, just in case.

“Can you make a few more of this medicine packet?”

Xiao Zeyu asked Su Qing. Su Qing shook her head.

“No, this medicine is scarce.”

If possible, of course, every guard would be given a pouch, and the guards of Mo City would also be given one. However, this was an extravagant hope.

“I’ll stay and accompany you.”

Xiao Zeyu was worried about Su Qing, but Su Qing was more worried about her family in the capital.

“You should go back quickly. I’m worried that they will attack our parents.”

“Bring them all to the palace. They will be safer with Xiao Qi around. Also, not many people know that we left the palace. Send someone to follow them and find out who the traitor is secretly.”

Su Qing hated spies the most. They had left the capital in disguise, and very few people knew about it. If this was leaked, it is evident that a Miao spy was among them.

“Alright, be careful.”

Xiao Zeyu nodded his head. The situation was urgent. That person knew his and Qing’er’s whereabouts. If he took advantage of their absence to attack his family, the consequences would be unimaginable. Hence, he had to return as soon as possible.

“Got it.”

The couple had just met and stayed together for less than three days, and now they would separate again. This separation made Xiao Zeyu very uneasy. He was worried that something would happen to Su Qing, so he left his Luan blade for her.

“The Luan Saber can restrain evil. Keep it!”

“No need. Take it with you. I’m afraid they’ll ambush you halfway.”

Su Qing pushed the Luan blade away. She was safe in the city, but Xiao Zeyu was in danger on the road. He could be ambushed anywhere.

“Keep it. I’m Tian Zi; they can’t do anything to me.”

Xiao Zeyu said domineeringly. The heavens blessed the Son of Heaven so evil would not dare to cause trouble.

“Then I’ll give you the flexible sword.”

Su Qing saw that Xiao Zeyu wouldn’t give up if he didn’t leave the Luan blade behind. She took out the flexible sword from her waist. This flexible sword was also a treasure. It could cut through iron like mud and was a good weapon for offense and self-defense.

Xiao Zeyu accepted the flexible sword. It was too light, and he was not used to it. However, Su Qing would not want his Luan saber if he did not accept it. He had no choice but to accept it.

“Be careful on the way back. I’m worried that they will ambush you on the way back.”

Su Qing reminded Xiao Zeyu. Xiao Zeyu nodded.

“I understand. You have to be careful, too.”

“Yes.”

Su Qing agreed. The two of them would spend the night together. After they parted tomorrow, who knew how long it would take them to do it again?

The next day, Xiao Zeyu prepared himself and set off. When he came to Mo City, he was dressed incognito. When he left, he was still dressed incognito.

However, there were ten times more guards than when they first arrived. They were all soldiers from Mo City disguised as escorts and followed behind. There were also some disguised as businessmen to protect Xiao Zeyu’s safety.

Xiao Zeyu originally wanted Li Daniu to sit in the same carriage as him, but Su Qing wanted to stay in Mo City, so he asked Li Daniu to stay.

This was also Su Qing’s consideration for Xiao Zeyu’s safety. He was afraid that Li Daniu would act up halfway and pose a threat to Xiao Zeyu.

If she stayed, she could still study the antidote and see how to undo the evil spell on him.

Xiao Zeyu was sitting in the carriage, holding the purse Su Qing had given him. Who was this person? How could he have such great power?

If only Uncle Master were here. He had a lot of experience and should know who it was.

He was most worried about Su Qing. The other party was too mysterious. Although she was very powerful, guarding against a hidden arrow was difficult. On one side was Su Qing, and on the other was the country and her family. It was a dilemma.

Suddenly, he felt the carriage stop. Xiao Zeyu sat in the carriage and asked outside,

“What’s going on?”

A guard went to the front to check and came back to report,

“Reporting to the emperor, an old Daoist wants to see you!”
