Demoting my wife to a concubine? After being reborn, I turned around and married into the imperial f

After a long while, the two assassins finally stepped into the cave.

The tall, thin assassin said to his companion, "Quick! You take care of Nangong Yue, and I'll take Chu Xunzhen back."

The slightly shorter assassin said, "What a pity, such good black bear meat."

"Let's finish the mission first, then we'll come back tonight to get the bear meat."

As he spoke, the tall, thin assassin had already walked up to Nangong Yue.

He raised his long sword, pointing it straight at Nangong Yue's neck.

He exerted force with his right hand, and suddenly, with a hissing sound, a silver needle pierced his body.

At the same time, a silver needle flew towards his companion, and in the next instant, the needle pierced his companion's neck.

"you!"

The two turned their heads and stared intently at Chu Xunzhen, who was leaning against Nangong Yue. They shouted loudly and then collapsed to the ground.

Chu Xunzhen lifted the masks off both of them.

Sure enough, both of them had tattoos all over their faces.

They are members of the Killing Alliance.

Tearing the fabric off their arms, Chu Xun was so angry that he felt a chill run down his spine.

These two were even more heinous than the previous one, each slaughtering more than 20,000 civilians.

This person can no longer be called human; they deserve to be called scum.

Chu Xunzhen pulled them to the side of the black bear.

This was her gift to the black bear.

Fearing they would turn on the black bear, Chu Xunzhen broke their arms and legs.

Even if they wake up before the black bear, they won't be able to cause trouble for it.

"Click!"

Chu Xunzhen dislocated the jaws of the two assassins.

She knew that these people had poison sacs in their teeth.

They were so vicious, wanting to die so easily, she wouldn't allow it.

She also dislocated the jaw of the first assassin who broke in and dragged him in front of the black bear.

"Thank you so much."

If it weren't for the assassins using poison, the mother Gu within her body wouldn't have been able to awaken prematurely.

Chu Xunzhen took out a dagger and cut his palm.

The next instant, the wound reopened, and blood dripped onto the ground.

A tiny, pure white rabbit, spotless and unblemished, crawled out of her palm.

The mini bunny has woken up.

Chu Xunzhen glanced at the brown bear and, without hesitation, had the mini rabbit bite into its flesh.

The miniature rabbit bared its sharp teeth and bit into the bear's flesh.

The brown bear frowned, but did not wake up. The mini rabbit then injected the Gu poison into the brown bear's body.

It wasn't that Chu Xunzhen didn't want to believe a brown bear, but rather that caution was always the best policy.

Chu Xunzhen first tentatively sent two protective Gu worms out of the cave entrance.

There's no one outside.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

She used the mother Gu to command the offspring Gu inside the brown bear to completely absorb all the sleeping powder components within the bear's body.

The brown bear woke up.

It first saw the three half-dead humans beside it, and then noticed Chu Xunzhen not far away.

Unlike his previous curiosity and gratitude, the brown bear now considers the female protagonist his most trusted person because of the Gu worm inside his body.

Chu Xunzhen had no intention of interfering with the brown bear's thoughts.

She was content as long as it temporarily served as her and Nangong Yue's protector.

Chu Xunzhen limped upstream.

She was very careful with every step she took.

The poisoned needle in his hand was hidden in his sleeve.

In case of an emergency, she will fire a poisoned needle to kill the enemy.

Soon, we arrived at the upstream area.

She then noticed a huge lizard not far away.

She took the water and slowly backed away.

The lizard, which was longer than a person, suddenly raised its head slightly and its gaze fell on Chu Xunzhen.

His amber vertical pupils were fixed on Chu Xunzhen.

Chu Xunzhen took a step back, and in the next instant, the lizard raised its head even higher.

Chu Xunzhen quickly stepped back.

In that instant, the giant lizard moved, its four legs touching the ground as it charged swiftly toward Chu Xunzhen.

Chu Xunzhen did not shoot the poison needle.

She judged that the guy's armor was extremely hard, and even if poison needles were stuck in his body, they would not be able to break through his defenses.

Chu Xunzhen summoned the brown bear.

Seeing that the monitor lizard was about to catch up, the brown bear roared.

Just then, the monitor lizard stopped.

Seeing the brown bear blocking Chu Xunzhen's way, the giant lizard's human-like vertical pupils showed a hint of doubt.

"roar!"

The brown bear stood up and stared down at the monitor lizard.

The monitor lizard flicked its tongue and slowly retreated.

Chu Xunzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

If the monitor lizard really charged at her, she couldn't guarantee that her poison needles would hit its mouth precisely.

"Thanks."

Chu Xunzhen thanked the brown bear, and the brown bear walked up to Chu Xunzhen and rubbed its furry head against her.

Chu Xunzhen activated the mother Gu, which then transmitted messages to the other child Gu.

Meanwhile, in the mansion, Granny Hua experienced unusual symptoms from the Gu worm within her body.

She closed her eyes and carefully sensed the direction. After a long while, she finally determined the direction.

"Quick! Keep searching!"

Anshun stood in front of a group of soldiers, his face filled with anger.

The prince and princess have both disappeared.

He was on the verge of a breakdown in Anshun.

Granny Hua walked over and said to Anshun, "Eunuch Anshun, I need to speak with you."

Upon hearing this, Anshun immediately followed Granny Hua to the side.

He grinned and said, "Please speak, Granny."

This woman is a favorite of the Ninth Prince's wife. If she has any needs, they must be met; otherwise, if the Prince finds out, wouldn't he skin him alive?

"The princess and the prince are located at the foot of a cliff in the southern suburbs of Beijing, in a cave on the mountainside."

Anshun was completely dumbfounded.

How did Granny Hua know?

"Could you please tell me, Granny, how can I find out the exact location of the Princess and the Prince?"

Knowing his concerns, Granny Hua immediately said, "I have a secret way of communicating with the Princess."

Upon hearing this, Anshun chuckled and said, "Thank you for informing me, Granny."

He turned around and hurriedly left the palace with his men, heading towards the cliff on the outskirts of the capital.

Inside the cave.

Chu Xunzhen fed Nangong Yue water.

His cheeks were flushed, and his skin was burning hot.

Chu Xunzhen grabbed his hand and encouraged him, "Nangong Yue, hang in there. Someone will come to rescue us soon."

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the cave.

Chu Xunzhen looked wary, but the person outside the cave didn't come in. Instead, they stood outside and respectfully asked, "Are Your Highness and the Princess Consort inside the cave?"

The speaker was Anshun.

A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Xunzhen's eyes as he said, "Eunuch Anshun, come in quickly and save the Prince."

Anshun rushed in with his men and immediately spotted Nangong Yue, who was running a fever.

"Quickly, bring up the soft couch. The prince has a fever. Go and fetch Physician Li."

Anshun gave an order to the people behind him, then looked at me respectfully and asked, "Is the Princess injured?"

"It's alright, you can take His Highness back first. I have some personal matters to attend to."

As he spoke, Chu Xunzhen pointed to the brown bear not far away.

Upon hearing this, Anshun noticed that a pair of sharp eyes had been watching them from the shadows not far away.

"A brown bear?" An Shun immediately became wary, drew his long sword, and stood protectively behind Chu Xunzhen.

Chu Xunzhen shook his head and said, "Eunuch Anshun, it's alright, it won't hurt us."

Anshun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Even if he is a master of martial arts, he still needs to be careful when encountering a powerful fighter like a brown bear.

Anshun was somewhat bewildered.

"Eunuch Anshun, it's these three people, along with a whole bunch of others dressed the same as them, who are chasing after me and the Prince. Investigate thoroughly."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Anshun glanced at the group of tattooed men in black.

He was utterly shocked.

These people are clearly members of the Killing Alliance, but now they're treated like dead dogs, being used as food reserves for the brown bears.

Upon seeing Granny Hua arrive, Chu Xunzhen immediately said to Anshun, "Eunuch Anshun, please escort the Prince back first."

Anshun hesitated.

Even if Granny Hua comes, if he only focuses on escorting the prince and causes the princess to be in danger, then the prince will definitely not forgive him after he wakes up.

"It's alright, I just have something to say to this brown bear, it'll catch up in a bit."

Anshun pondered for a moment before speaking, "Your Highness, I've arranged for two highly skilled eunuchs to wait outside. I'll take the Prince back for treatment first."

"it is good."

Chu Xunzhen nodded.

Nangong Yue has a high fever.

If he doesn't get treatment, and his brain gets damaged, he'll really become a mentally challenged prince.

Chu Xunzhen walked up to the brown bear.

She twitched her right thumb slightly, and the next moment, the brown bear, which had been lying on the ground with its eyes wide open, got up.

Chu Xunzhen sealed the acupoints with silver needles, and the next instant, a mouthful of black blood spurted from the brown bear's mouth.

"I have removed the 'child worm' (a type of parasite), you are free."

As Chu Xunzhen spoke, she stepped back.

Although she wasn't afraid of the brown bear, she didn't want to gamble on such a wild animal.

The brown bear suddenly let out a pitiful cry.

Chu Xunzhen raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "You want to come with me?"

The brown bear nodded eagerly.

Chu Xunzhen tried to explain to it, "If you come with me, you won't be able to live here anymore."

The brown bear nodded again.

Chu Xunzhen took a step forward.

It also took a step along.

Chu Xunzhen took two steps forward, and it also took two steps with its chubby hairy legs.

Chu Xunzhen moved her feet to the left, and it moved its feet to the left as well.

Chu Xunzhen was both amused and exasperated.

It seems this guy is determined to stick with her.

"Then come with me back to the Prince's Palace."

As Chu Xunzhen walked, she cut her palm.

The miniature white cat leaped out from the wound on her palm and, in an instant, bit the brown bear's leg.

She injected the brown bear with the venomous insect again.

The brown bear seemed to understand, but looked at Chu Xunzhen with a wronged expression.

Chu Xunzhen coughed softly.

Is this brown bear some kind of supernatural being?

Anshun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the princess following him.

But the next moment, his eyes widened.

Who told him why that enormous creature was following behind the princess?

Did the princess know or not?

Knowing that the big black dog in the palace had returned with the princess, Anshun was no longer afraid.

Anshun ran to the princess's side and asked, "Your Highness, is the brown bear behind you also returning to the palace?"

Chu Xunzhen nodded and said, "Yes."

"The servant ordered someone to prepare a cage."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen smiled and said, "No need. It doesn't need a cage. It's different from Dahei."

Although Anshun wanted to ask what was different, he kept quiet.

But he still silently instructed the other guards to be on high alert and to be careful of brown bears injuring people.

A group of people returned to the city. Just as the two gatekeepers were about to let them pass, they suddenly saw the brown bear following behind Chu Xunzhen.

"Bear! There's a bear!"

The guard was so frightened that he drew his long sword and screamed.
