The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

Then she discovered something else.

That is, the man's voice sounded very familiar.

Fearing discovery, Nongyu held her breath and dared not make any movement, so she did not dare to look at who the man was.

"What exactly are you planning to do?" Madam Mingzhu had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with the visitor; her tone shifted again, becoming somewhat cold.

"I want something."

"what?"

"The antidote for the Gu worms in Tianze's body, or rather... the Gu Mother."

The visitor was Jiang Chuan. He looked at Madam Mingzhu and stated his request.

Although he had already learned the knowledge of making Gu poison from Madam Mingzhu.

However, having that knowledge does not mean that Jiang Chuan can neutralize the Gu poison in Tian Ze's body.

The Gu poison in Tianze's body was not something that could be achieved overnight; it was the result of ten years of continuous improvement, experimentation, and mutation.

Such poison is extremely troublesome, and even the King of Poisons, who is proficient in poisons, cannot cure it.

Only Madam Mingzhu, the instigator, can undo this.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan went directly to Madam Mingzhu.

Nongyu, hidden in the shadows, upon hearing the name Tianze and the words "antidote,"...

"You want to help Tianze?" Madam Mingzhu's gaze sharpened.

Regarding Tianze's escape, she could roughly guess some of the truth: it was her cousin who released him.

Even after her cousin returned to the capital, she stayed in the palace for a long time and did not take the initiative to meet with him.

Because Madam Mingzhu is not yet ready to meet her cousin.

If Jiang Chuan had used illusion magic on her from the beginning and left a contingency plan within her body to restrict her life, she would definitely have sought out her cousin immediately after his return, asking him to help her take revenge.

But later, as she spent more time with Jiang Chuan...

Jiang Chuan took her virginity.

She savored that pleasure, and her feelings for Jiang Chuan gradually changed...

When she faced Jiang Chuan, her feelings were complicated.

On the one hand, she hated Jiang Chuan.

On the one hand, she didn't want her cousin to know what Jiang Chuan had done to her, and on the other hand, she wanted to get revenge on Jiang Chuan herself.

One of the main reasons for these doubts is the "blood offering" theory mentioned by Jiang Chuan.

What does she mean to her cousin?

Because the Meridian-Severing Technique used by the woman named Ru Shuang still remained in her body, as well as her opponent's backup plan, Madam Mingzhu was worried that her cousin might be able to see through it.

Therefore, during this period, she refused to meet with her cousin.

Even though her cousin really wanted to meet her, she made various excuses to postpone it.

As for how long it can be delayed?

She wasn't sure, but she figured she could at least stall for a while.

At this moment, upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words after entering the palace, Madam Mingzhu immediately assumed that Jiang Chuan was going to thwart her cousin's plan and help Tianze.

“No, I have no intention of helping Tianze. I am just preparing to keep some things in my own hands in advance, just in case,” Jiang Chuan replied truthfully to Madam Mingzhu.

"Why should I help you?" Madam Mingzhu retorted to Jiang Chuan. "Don't forget, my cousin has already returned."

Jiang Chuan's gaze fell on Madam Mingzhu. "So, Madam, are you prepared to fight to the death?"

Madam Mingzhu remained silent.

Jiang Chuan had a 0.5% answer in his heart. "It seems that Madam has not made up her mind about this yet. That's true. If Madam had really told Blood-Clad Marquis about those things, he would have come to cause trouble for me long ago."

"Instead of being so friendly to me now, and even having my people deliver wine to him."

Madam Mingzhu fell silent again.

She really hadn't thought it through.

Despite the anger and hatred in her heart, she couldn't help but want to tell her cousin what she had experienced.

However, whenever she was about to make up her mind, another thought would inevitably arise, making her decide to wait; now was not the time.

After a long silence, Madam Mingzhu said in a deep voice, "I can give you the antidote, but this is a one-time exception."

The so-called "no exceptions" is a joke, because no one can say for sure what will happen next time.

At least for now, Jiang Chuan has obtained the antidote.

Chapter 85 Madam, shall we come?

For Jiang Chuan, obtaining the antidote for the Gu poison in Tianze's body from Madam Mingzhu was merely a temporary measure, and it might prove useful in some way.

This does not mean that he is ready to hand over the antidote to Tianze right now.

Since the antidote wasn't on Lady Mingzhu, Jiang Chuan planned to follow her to her palace to retrieve it.

The two of them were about to leave.

Just then, Jiang Chuan suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Madam Mingzhu noticed Jiang Chuan's actions and asked curiously.

"Come out!"

Jiang Chuan looked at the many shelves placed in the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion and spoke calmly.

The Imperial Fragrance Pavilion was utterly tranquil.

There was no movement at all.

However, because of Jiang Chuan's words, Madam Mingzhu also realized that something was amiss.

Because her powers were sealed, she couldn't detect anything amiss.

But Jiang Chuan said it, so there must be a reason for it.

Madam Mingzhu scanned the area but found nothing.

Jiang Chuan suddenly moved, and he was very fast.

For him, any skill can be mastered quickly. The most crucial factor that controls his strength is his physical fitness and his internal energy cultivation, and whether he can perfectly execute those skills.

Now, he can at least be considered a master of innate level.

With this level of mastery, he was able to use many of the techniques he had previously mastered.

In an instant, Jiang Chuan arrived behind a shelf.

A beautiful figure dressed in palace maid attire came into Jiang Chuan's view.

"Miss Nongyu, it's you? What a coincidence!"

Jiang Chuan glanced at Nongyu, a strange smile appearing on his lips.

After seeing the true face of the person who had been meeting with Madam Mingzhu, Nongyu was also very surprised. She did not expect that this person was Jiang Chuan. No wonder she thought his voice sounded familiar.

Similarly, the conversation between Jiang Chuan and Madam Mingzhu earlier also revealed a lot of important information.

That is, Lady Mingzhu is actually the cousin of Marquis Xueyi, Bai Yifei.

She was the favorite concubine of the King of Han.

Could she be the mysterious Tide Demoness, one of the Four Fiends of the Night, hiding in the palace?

The relationship between Chao Nu Yao, one of the four fierce generals, and Jiang Chuan, the newly promoted fierce general, is surprisingly unusual.

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Nongyu immediately came to her senses.

She knew that once Jiang Chuan, someone who knew her, discovered her, there was absolutely no way she could survive.

Therefore, she only had one choice.

That is, to resist and fight our way out.

If we fight our way out, there's still a glimmer of hope.

Nongyu immediately made a move, swinging her palm towards Jiang Chuan.

As a woman carefully raised by Zi Nu, Nong Yu's skills are definitely not limited to just music, chess, calligraphy, and painting; she is also proficient in martial arts.

Although her martial arts skills were not particularly outstanding.

But killing is enough.

While her enemies are captivated by her beauty, her martial arts skills are enough to deliver a fatal blow.

Ultimately, her greatest advantage lies in the fact that she is a woman, and a beautiful woman.

Unfortunately, she was facing Jiang Chuan today.

Jiang Chuan had seen many beautiful women.
