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

Qingsong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "This humble servant, Qingsong, greets the Princess and the Prince. My master must be delirious to be talking nonsense. I have admired the Ninth Prince and Princess for a long time. I would never dare to be disrespectful."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen nodded.

Finally, there's a normal person here.

"You can leave now."

As soon as Chu Xunzhen finished speaking, Qingsong felt as if he had been granted a pardon.

He has already decided to run away.

He had previously heard that Gu Changfeng had framed the previous personal guard, Ting Han, in order to protect the Chongding Marquis's mansion, but he thought it was just a rumor.

I only found out now that it might actually be true.

A madman like Gu Changfeng could indeed do such a thing.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness. I will take my leave now."

"Wait!" Chu Xunzhen suddenly spoke up, "Are there any living people staying at the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence or the Marquis of Chongding's residence?"

Upon hearing this, Qingsong thought for a while before saying, "I am unaware of the situation at the Marquis of Chongding's residence, as I haven't been back for quite some time. As for the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence, two women did indeed stay there a few days ago."

woman?

two?

Chu Xunzhen's eyes flashed, and he immediately thought of Chen Lianxin and Nangong Qing.

"Take me to those two women."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yue said, "I will go with you."

Qing Song said, "Those two women seem to know some martial arts. It would be safer for the Princess and the Prince to go with their men."

"Oh? Do you know if one of them is a woman with a leg ailment?"

"They don't have any leg problems; they're all young women."

Chu Xunzhen frowned upon hearing this. Could it be that it wasn't Nangong Qing and Chen Lianxin?

"We'll go again tomorrow. You can stay at the Prince's residence for now."

"Yes," Qingsong replied and left with the butler.

She was very worried.

Her mother Gu, Little White, is gone. Her strength has been greatly reduced.

If she cannot find Luo Xing and retrieve the mother Gu, she will probably have to refine a new mother Gu.

"Sister, where did your mother Gu go?"

Nangong Yue suddenly spoke.

Chu Xun was really stunned.

She never demonstrated her abilities in front of Nangong Yue.

Even when she uses her abilities, she tries her best to avoid being detected by him.

How could Nangong Yue be so sure that the mother Gu was not on her?

"Luo Xing captured my mother Gu."

Chu Xunzhen's eyes darkened as he spoke.

The mother Gu and she originally had a faint connection.

Now that this connection has been severed, and she has not suffered any backlash, it means that Luo Xing has simply hidden her mother Gu.

"Sister, don't worry. I'll let my natal Gu enter your body first, so it can protect you."

Chu Xunzhen was stunned when Nangong Yue spoke.

"Your Highness, what did you say?"

Nangong Yue lowered her eyes and said, "Sister, I am Nangong Yue, and also the Ninth Prince, but I have another identity that I haven't told you before. Will you be angry?"

Chu Xunzhen was surprised and told her directly that Nangong Yue was afraid.

Is he afraid she'll get angry?

"What is your identity?"

Chu Xunzhen didn't say whether she would be angry, but instead squinted her eyes and asked.

She guessed that Nangong Yue must also be a member of the Gu Sect.

She had smelled the floral scent on Nangong Yue before at the Gu Sect, but she couldn't remember exactly where she had smelled it.

"I am a member of the Gu Sect."

Chu Xunzhen shook his head and chuckled, "I know. I guessed it a long time ago."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yue inwardly exclaimed, "My sister is amazing and intelligent!"

Nangong Yue slashed her own chest with a knife.

Chu Xunzhen's pupils suddenly contracted.

Ordinary members of the Gu sect feed their mother Gu with the blood from their palms, but today, she saw Nangong Yue's mother Gu being summoned from her chest.

He actually used his heart's blood to feed the mother Gu.

Crimson blood oozed from his chest, and a four-legged lizard with a dragon's head and a snake's body crawled out from Nangong Yue's chest.

Its scales were jet black and sharp as knives, and its eyes were completely black, like bottomless vortexes.

Chu Xunzhen had seen this Gu worm before.

Isn't this the sect leader's natal Gu worm?

Chu Xunzhen suddenly turned his head and his gaze fell on Nangong Yue, only to see him wearing a mask that covered most of his face.

That was the sect leader's mask that Chu Xunzhen was most familiar with.

Chu Xunzhen: "!"

The person was still the same, but the moment she put on the mask, Nangong Yue's aura changed drastically, becoming completely different from before.

If before he was a pitiful little thing nestled in her arms, letting her do whatever she wanted and bullying her, then now he has made a magnificent transformation, full of murderous aura, a vicious and ruthless venomous snake.

Nangong Yue walked over, extended her hand to Chu Xunzhen, and said, "Sister..."

Chu Xunzhen suddenly retreated.

She remembered.

She had previously gone to the forbidden area of ​​the Gu Sect to borrow the forbidden item—the Gu Soul Bell—for her grandfather's sake, and the sect leader protected her all the way.

If it weren't for the sect leader's protection, with her strength, she would have been seriously injured if she wanted to obtain the Gu Soul Bell.

Is the sect leader Nangong Yue?

No wonder the look in his eyes made her so uncomfortable when he held her.

His aura was so familiar.

Nangong Yue removed her mask, looking weakly at Chu Xunzhen, and said, "Sister, are you ignoring me?"

Even though he had thought about this possibility many times, he was still heartbroken.

Doesn't his sister want him anymore?

Tears welled up in his eyes as he gazed at Chu Xunzhen.

Chu Xunzhen was burned by his tears; her heart felt as if it were being pricked by needles.

She asked, "Back then, when you pretended to be mentally challenged, were you deliberately playing a trick on me?"

The thought that she had believed Nangong Yue was truly mentally challenged and had even comforted and protected him made her feel terrible.

She felt like a fool, a fool being played with.

Moreover, they've been married for so long, and he's only saying it now.

Was he deliberately trying to make fun of her?

"No! No, I wasn't teasing you. You took my pulse; the residual poison in my body is acting up, which makes me delirious. Sister, I love you so much, how could I possibly play tricks on you?"

Chu Xunzhen's expression changed as he stared at Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue's eyes were red and her gaze was timid as she walked towards her.

"It was wrong of me to keep it from my sister for so long. I was afraid she would be angry with me if she found out the truth. I didn't dare to tell her."

What Nangong Yue didn't say was that there was another important reason he couldn't reveal: he was afraid that Chu Xunzhen would also be drawn into his conflict.

But now that his sister has lost her natal Gu worm and her combat power has decreased, he absolutely cannot allow her to be harmed.

Chu Xunzhen remained silent.

Nangong Yue commanded her natal Gu worm to crawl towards Chu Xunzhen's body.

"From now on, she will be your new master. Obey her commands, Little Black."

Little Black?

Chu Xunzhen raised an eyebrow and asked with amusement, "What was the original name of your natal Gu worm?"

Look at those melancholy, large eyes. Although they look a bit like a lizard, it has to be said that the small dragon head, paired with those large, bright eyes and a shiny black body, is indeed very beautiful.

"His original name was Shen Yuan," Nangong Yue said. "Wherever he went, he became Shen Yuan. All who invaded him were destined to fall into the abyss and never be able to escape."

Chu Xunzhen rolled her eyes at the man.

In order to be paired with her Xiaobai, she deliberately changed the name of her natal Gu worm to "Xiaohei". No wonder Shen Yuan looked so bitter.

"Okay. Tonight, we'll sleep in separate beds. I'll sleep in the study, and you can sleep in the inner room."

As soon as Chu Xunzhen finished speaking, Nangong Yue's expression changed, and she looked somewhat hurt.

"Sister, please don't be angry, okay?" Nangong Yue lowered her eyes and said, "I, Nangong Yue, swear that if I ever had even the slightest thought of playing with Chu Xunzhen, may my intestines be ripped out, my seven orifices bleed, and I die a horrible death."

Chu Xunzhen looked away, still not relenting.

She sneered, "Swear an oath? Even if you swear, it won't work. Go back to your room. I'll rest in the study tonight."

With that, Chu Xunzhen went to the study to rest.

As soon as he sat down, Chu Xunzhen started to miss Granny Hua.

But she sent Granny Hua out on an errand, and she didn't know if she could find the three little bears.

Looking at the abyss wrapped around her wrist, Chu Xunzhen gently stroked it.

Seemingly sensing that its owner was teasing her, it gently licked Chu Xunzhen's palm.

"Your Highness, are you really not going back to your room?" Chunxi asked.

She was deeply shocked tonight.

It turns out that the prince is the leader of the Gu Sect, and the young lady is also a member of the Gu Sect.

Although she was born into the Chen family, she only knew that the girl had been sent outside to learn martial arts when she was young, but she never expected that she had entered the Gu sect.

She suddenly felt utterly useless.

The princess was in danger, but she knew nothing about it.

Chu Xunzhen noticed Chunxi's absent-mindedness and asked her, "Chunxi, are you scared?"

Upon hearing this, Chunxi nodded and then shook her head.

Chu Xunzhen was amused by her: "So, are you scared, or not?"

Chunxi said, "Your Highness, I was afraid of it because I knew it was a Gu poison, but it's so cute. It has a big head and two dragon horns, which makes it look like an auspicious omen, so I'm not afraid anymore."

Shen Yuan raised his head and gave Chunxi a haughty look that said, "You know your stuff."

Chunxi couldn't help but laugh.

"Chunxi, if you like researching and making Gu poison, I will teach you. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Like my parents, if you let them do business, they will do it very well, but if you let them take the imperial examination, they cannot do it. You have served by my side since you were a child. If you like business, auditing, and management, I can let you learn them."

Overwhelmed with emotion, Chunxi burst into tears, knelt on the ground, clutching the princess's sleeves with both hands, and sobbed.

"Your Highness, what virtue or ability do I possess to cause you such worry? I wish to serve Your Highness, to learn more, and to protect Your Highness. I do not know what I am good at, and I would like to explore those areas first."

"Alright. Tomorrow, I'll have Granny Hua come back to teach you."

Chunxi was excited.

Chu Xunzhen said, "Let's go see Gu Changfeng."

Upon hearing this, Chunxi was somewhat surprised: "Your Highness, it's so late now. If we go, I'm afraid the Prince will be angry and heartbroken if he finds out?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen paused for a moment and said, "Let's go tomorrow morning."

She knew Gu Changfeng well.

Since he is so confident and doesn't even put Nangong Yue in his eyes, he must have a certain degree of assurance.

Chu Xun was unsure what trump card Gu Changfeng had up his sleeve, but she didn't want Nangong Yue to get hurt. So, she took advantage of the situation to pretend to have a fight with Nangong Yue and rest separately.

This will also let Nangong Yue know that she must not deceive her again in the future.

Vertical day.

Chu Xunzhen had just woken up when she opened her eyes to see Nangong Yue, who looked like a panda, sitting by her bedside, looking at her with a haggard and pitiful expression.

"Sister, shall we have breakfast together?"

Seeing how cautious Nangong Yue was, Chu Xunzhen couldn't help but want to tease him.

Just then, the guards of the Prince's Palace reported: Chen Kangnian has arrived.

Nangong Yue immediately said, "Quickly, let your father-in-law in."

Chu Xunzhen tidied himself up quickly, changed into a white casual outfit, and went to the front hall.

Not long after I sat down, Chen Kangnian rushed in.

His eyes were red and swollen, and he wailed, "Zhenzhen, your mother has been taken away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell backward.
