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

it's not true.

External threats may have ended, but internal troubles have not.

For Ji Wuye, even though Zilan Pavilion was destroyed in the fire and this most famous place of pleasure in Xinzheng City no longer existed, Han Fei was still alive, and Liusha still existed, so their struggle was not over.

Ji Wuye will continue to try to eliminate Han Fei and the others.

Furthermore, with the death of the Crown Prince, the position of heir apparent is now vacant, and as expected, another struggle for the throne will erupt.

Although Han Fei was the ninth son, the King of Han had more than just nine sons.

Even if the crown prince is dead.

However, the remaining offspring could still unleash an internal struggle far surpassing the Nine Princes' Succession Struggle.

Of course, these power struggles have little to do with Jiang Chuan.

For him, the most important thing right now is to honestly improve his strength and develop his abilities in peace, while waiting for good news from the Qin Kingdom. Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but think of Bai Yifei.

Because of his affair with Madam Mingzhu, his greatest threat while lurking in the night was not Ji Wuye, but Bai Yifei.

According to Yan Lingji, Tianze fought a desperate battle and severely injured Bai Yifei.

What is Bai Yifei's current state?

Jiang Chuan was quite curious.

Chapter 117 Madam Mingzhu's Great Crisis

The palace was deserted.

Since the attack on the Crown Prince's residence, the palace has been under lockdown. Although it has been reopened on several occasions, it remains heavily guarded most of the time.

There's no way around it. Back then, Tianze was able to bypass many guards and sneak into the palace to take Princess Honglian away. Ninth Prince Han Fei was also able to sneak into the palace without permission. The palace's defenses are like a sieve, full of loopholes.

The King of Han, of course, knew what was going on.

Because the royal palace in South Korea is too complicated.

It was not a palace designed from the beginning, but rather a reconstruction on the basis of the original palace of the State of Zheng. The part where he now lives was built by the State of Han, but there is another part left over from the State of Zheng in the past.

It's like two completely unrelated things being forcibly pieced together; on the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong, but in reality, it's full of flaws and omissions.

Although the King of Han was muddleheaded, he was not completely stupid, and he knew that the defense of the White Palace was flawed.

However, at this point, it was impossible to demolish and rebuild the original palace.

For his own safety, he had no choice but to strengthen the defenses and increase the number of imperial guards.

After all, Tianze remains at large.

The other party has already killed the crown prince and the Qin envoy, and no one knows who his next target will be.

However, even with such tight security.

Yet, someone still managed to easily infiltrate the palace.

In Lady Mingzhu's palace, she was making incense. Apart from her Gu magic, the incense she made was also exceptional.

Things outside the palace were none of her concern, and she had no intention of getting involved.

Suddenly, the door to her palace was pushed open.

A hoarse voice reached her ears.

"Cousin, you seem quite relaxed."

Upon hearing this voice, Madam Mingzhu's expression immediately changed slightly.

In this world, there is only one person who would call her that, and that is her cousin, Bai Yifei.

However, ever since those things happened with that person, she has been avoiding her cousin. Even when he returned and asked to see her, he refused.

She knew, of course, that such behavior would arouse her cousin's suspicion sooner or later, but she wanted to delay it as long as possible.

She hadn't expected that her cousin would come to the palace on his own today.

Madam Mingzhu was somewhat flustered, but she managed to calm herself down and turned to look at her cousin.

Then they saw a figure wearing a cloak, completely covered up.

"cousin?"

Madam Mingzhu's tone was somewhat strange; she hadn't expected her cousin to be dressed like this.

The visitor walked straight up to Madam Mingzhu, who then saw clearly what he looked like. Bai Yifei was no longer the young man he once was; he had aged considerably.

Although Madam Mingzhu already knew that her cousin was not young, his current appearance still shocked her.

The reason is that, apart from the white hair on his head, Bai Yifei's face is covered with wrinkles, making him look like he is seventy or eighty years old.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you?"

Madam Mingzhu asked Bai Yifei softly.

"I killed Tianze!"

Bai Yifei's voice was hoarse as he revealed something.

Upon hearing this news, Lady Mingzhu was also startled. She knew about the trouble Tianze had caused recently, and because the King of Han was wary of Tianze, he had to strengthen the palace's security.

Unexpectedly, Tianze had already been killed by his cousin.

How come there wasn't a single word about this?

Why is it?

Madam Mingzhu quickly understood.

Because my cousin's injuries were too severe.

Although Tianze died, he did leave nothing for his cousin; otherwise, his cousin wouldn't have ended up like this.

"Tianze was unruly and arrogant. We couldn't tame him even after ten years. He caused us a lot of trouble after he came out. It's a good thing that my cousin killed him."

Madam Mingzhu praised Bai Yifei.

Bai Yifei showed no smugness. “Tianze left me with severe injuries. Almost all the Gu worms in my body have died. I need you to refine a Gu Mother.”

He revealed the purpose of his visit.

Then, he made an additional request: "Use your blood!"

As he spoke, he handed the bottle containing the Gu Mother to Madam Mingzhu.

Madam Mingzhu's gaze immediately sharpened.

"Ok."

After pondering for a while, Madam Mingzhu agreed to the matter.

Then, Madam Mingzhu went off to get busy.

Bai Yifei didn't stand on ceremony and stayed at Madam Mingzhu's place.

He didn't care even if the King of Han might come here at any moment.

For him, the most important thing right now is to stabilize his injury.

If Madam Mingzhu's Gu poison is ineffective, he will have no choice but to resort to his last resort.

He sat cross-legged behind a curtain, just as he was about to calm the restless energy within him, a bloodthirsty desire arose spontaneously, and a red light involuntarily appeared in Bai Yifei's aged face and eyes.

Just then, a beautiful maid walked by.

Upon seeing this, Bai Yifei immediately felt a surge of greed.

He prepared to wash away the maid's blood.

Just then, a clear voice suddenly rang out, "Nongyu, come here."

Bai Yifei could only suppress this bloodthirsty desire.

The Imperial Fragrance Pavilion was where the palace stored spices and medicinal herbs, so there was no doubt that my cousin needed this maid to fetch the medicine.

I can't let this interfere with my important business.

A maid named Nongyu came to Madam Mingzhu's side and looked at her somewhat blankly.

Madam Mingzhu said in a deep voice, "I need you to do something."

Nongyu remained expressionless, listening quietly.

She had resigned herself to her fate since entering the palace.

During this time, she stayed with Madam Mingzhu, not knowing what awaited her.

Now, the only thing supporting her is probably Zilanxuan, her own mother. For the sake of these people she cares about, she has to endure everything.

"I need you to go to the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion and get some medicinal herbs."

Madam Mingzhu spoke calmly, but in her hand, she handed a piece of cloth to Nongyu.

"If we can do that, perhaps there will be some unexpected surprises..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Nongyu's eyes.
