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

Chu Xunzhen paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "For example, the Beauty-Preserving Gu."

Upon hearing this, a hint of interest flashed in Jun Wancai's eyes.

"Your Highness, tell me, what is a Beauty-Nourishing Gu? Does this Gu pill help with beauty and skin care?"

Chu Xunzhen nodded and said, "That's right. This Gu pill contains Gu worms that can absorb toxins from a person's skin. Taking the Gu pill can maintain one's beauty and fair skin for a month. After a month, the Gu worms can be expelled from the body through defecation."

Jun Wancai's eyes lit up.

"Are there any other types of Gu pills with different effects?"

Chu Xunzhen nodded and said, "Of course. There's the 'Laughing Gu' that plays tricks on people, and the 'Slimming Gu' that reduces appetite and keeps people slim. Of course, there are also 'Weight-Growing Gu', 'Hunger Gu', and so on."

As Chu Xunzhen spoke, he took out several porcelain bottles from his bosom.

She looked at Jun Wancai and said, "These are the Beauty Gu, the Laughter Gu, and the Slimming Gu. I only have these three types of Gu pills right now. You can send someone to test their effects now."

Upon hearing this, Jun Wancai's eyes lit up, and he slammed his hand on the table, saying, "Good. If this Gu pill is as good as the Princess Consort says, then I won't charge you any money, Little Bear."

Jun Wancai clapped his hands, and immediately a man in black emerged from the shadows in the dark room.

"Find the ugliest woman in the Treasure Pavilion, then find a fat person. And then find an ordinary person, someone with a bad reputation in the Treasure Pavilion."

The man in black must have been, and quickly left.

After a short while, the dark room became quiet.

"After the Princess Consort ingests this mischievous Laughing Gu, how long does it take to take effect? ​​How long does it last? Is there an antidote?"

"The effect is immediate and generally lasts for one day. A stronger version lasting three days can also be prepared. As for the antidote, it naturally requires a Gu poison master to remove it personally, or an antidote prepared by a Gu poison master can be used."

As the words were spoken, two women and a man were brought in front of the two men.

Chu Xunzhen looked over.

One woman was slender and wore a veil, while the other had fair skin and a rounder figure. The man standing at the back had shifty eyes and looked rather sleazy.

She was particularly displeased by the way the man looked at her.

No wonder he has a bad reputation within the Treasure Pavilion.

I just don't know why someone with such a bad reputation can still stay in the Treasure Pavilion.

Jun Wancai looked at the two women and said, "I called you here so you could try out our new beauty-enhancing Gu and slimming Gu that will be launched soon. If you are unwilling to try them, I can find someone else."

"This trial is free, and any future use will also be free. Of course, there are risks involved in the trial. In the unfortunate event of death, I will provide your family with a compensation of three thousand taels."

The ugly woman looked at Jun Wancai in shock and said, "I'm willing."

The plump woman replied without hesitation, "Thank you, Pavilion Master, I'm willing too."

"good!"

Jun Wancai knew about these two people.

Qing'er, beautiful as a flower, was harmed by evil people, resulting in her disfigurement. Now, this is her chance to defy fate.

If this beauty-preserving gu really has such effects as the Ninth Princess said, then she can restore her appearance.

Zhao Zhi, her whole family is overweight. She is a girl who has been overweight since birth.

Finally, Jun Wancai's gaze fell on the man behind the two women.

"Zheng Qingyuan, I brought you here to test the drug, just like the others. Of course, you can refuse. After all, this is a new drug, and no one knows what side effects it might have. The drug you're going to try will last for a day. If you refuse, you can leave now, but if you're willing to stay and test the drug, you can enjoy one of the Gu pills sold by Zhenbaoge for free for life."

As he spoke, Jun Wancai looked at the three of them and said, "In addition, all those who participated in the drug trials will be promoted one rank and receive five hundred taels of silver as a bonus."

Upon hearing this, the three people reacted with different expressions.

Qing'er and Zhao Zhi were both surprised and delighted, while Zheng Qingyuan looked hesitant.

He looked at the three black porcelain vases.

He's neither ugly nor fat; he's even somewhat handsome.

He didn't want to take any medication that might be harmful to his health.

Chu Xunzhen could tell at a glance that the man was going to refuse.

She didn't care; there were plenty of people in the Treasure Pavilion anyway.

It's better that he doesn't dare to test the medicine. Chu Xunzhen didn't have a good impression of this person.

"Sect Master Jun, please hurry and find others to come. This princess is short of time."

Upon hearing this, Jun Wancai patted his head and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, Ninth Princess. I'll have someone find a suitable person to come in right away."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen nodded and said nothing more.

Jun Wancai instructed the person hiding in the shadows to search for the person again.

Zheng Qingyuan was about to leave when Chu Xunzhen spoke up: "You cannot leave. You may leave only after others have finished testing the medicine."

Jun Wancai nodded thoughtfully and said to Chu Xunzhen, "The Ninth Princess Consort is very thoughtful. It is I who have not been thoughtful enough."

Zheng Qingyuan stood on the left. The two women who were to test the medicine stood on the right.

A short while later, another man was led in.

Looking at the burly man, Chu Xunzhen said with satisfaction, "Not bad, he's strong, which is perfect for testing the true effects of the Gu Pill."

Jun Wancai reiterated the consequences and dangers of the drug trial, as well as the rewards, and ordered someone to bring over the silver notes.

Jun Wancai then summoned six more elders from the Treasure Pavilion.

After the elders arrived and heard the whole story, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

If it weren't the Ninth Prince's wife sitting there, but an ordinary woman, they would have chased her away long ago.

After all, she was a princess. Although she didn't believe the poison pill was that potent, she still had to give face to the imperial family.

The six old men bowed to Chu Xunzhen and sat down, then looked at the person who was going to test the medicine.

Jun Wancai gestured for the three of them to come forward and try the medicine.

The first one to come out was Qing'er.

She lifted her veil, revealing an incredibly terrifying face.

Her face was covered in hideous bumps, clearly indicating that she had been poisoned.

Without hesitation, she took out the poison pill from the porcelain bottle.

The cinnabar pattern is wavy, encircling the vermilion pill, and a wisp of fragrance emanates from the pill.

The moment the Gu pill entered her mouth, her face showed no change whatsoever.

Jun Wancai frowned.

Zheng Qingyuan shook his head and said, "Qing'er's face is so badly injured that even the best beauty pills cannot repair it."

The elders whispered amongst themselves.

I've only ever heard of Gu poison harming people, but I've never heard of Gu poison being able to beautify and nourish the skin without any side effects.

Jun Wancai looked at Chu Xunzhen, seemingly gesturing for her to explain.

Chu Xunzhen chuckled lightly, "Sect Master, Elders, please don't be impatient. Just wait and see."

As soon as Chu Xunzhen finished speaking, Qing'er's face suddenly changed.

The originally dark and hideous scars began to fade, and in an instant, Qing'er's cheeks turned a light flesh color. A moment later, all the scars on her face disappeared.

Qing'er's originally beautiful face was revealed.

"My God! This is incredible!"

"What's the underlying principle?"

"Even if the imperial physician came, it couldn't possibly have such an effect, could it?"

Listening to the crowd's discussion, Chu Xunzhen smiled and said, "The Beauty-Nourishing Gu absorbs the toxins from her body. The Gu worms inside absorb the toxins and will automatically be expelled from her body and die after a month. If you don't want the Gu worms to stay in your body, you can choose to buy an antidote pill."

Jun Wancai looked at Qing'er curiously and asked, "How did you feel after taking the Gu Pill?"

"I can feel an itch under my skin, which is quite comfortable, like someone is stroking my face."

The elders marveled.

Chu Xunzhen looked at Qing'er and said to everyone, "Everyone, today the Gu worm has absorbed the toxins from Miss Qing'er's face. The human body produces toxins every day. The accumulation of toxins can cause acne, various bumps, and even dullness on the skin. The Beauty Gu can absorb all the toxins produced by the human body every day. After a month, the Gu worm will die and be excreted through feces."

"Good." Jun Wancai became even more excited. "Zhao Zhi, you will try the medicine."

Zhao Zhi couldn't wait and swallowed the slimming Gu pill directly.

However, a quarter of an hour passed, and there was no change in Zhao Zhi.

Chu Xunzhen addressed the crowd, saying, "What Zhao Zhi needs is to lose weight and slim down. The Gu worms have begun to suppress her appetite, making her feel full and thus eat less. In addition, the slimming Gu worms feed on human fat. Now, Zhao Zhi will be weighed, and in half an hour, she will be weighed again. After that, Zhao Zhi will lose several pounds every day."

All eyes fell on the last guard commander.

"Wanda, you try this Gu poison pill. Let me warn you first, one of them just took a beauty-enhancing Gu pill, and the other took a slimming Gu pill—both beneficial Gu pills. But this one has a harmful effect. This effect will last for one day. Have you thought it through? Are you willing to try it?"

Wanda nodded and said, "This subordinate is willing to test the medicine and is willing to serve the Lord with utmost loyalty."

Zheng Qingyuan watched this scene, feeling a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.

He was truly scared just now.

But now, if he were asked to participate in drug trials, he would still hesitate.

He feared the unknown side effects; he didn't want to die. But he also craved the Pavilion Master's favor and reward.

Wanda came out and stuffed the Gu pill into his mouth.

However, his expression changed a moment later.

A burly man who never smiled suddenly grinned.

Later, Wanda couldn't take it anymore and burst into laughter.

Jun Wancai looked at Wanda, a look of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Alright! Wanda, now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you. The medicine you just tried was the Laughing Gu. From now on, you'll be laughing until tomorrow."

Wanda internally grumbled, "Who on earth had nothing better to do than invent this kind of poison pill?"

Chu Xunzhen's gaze fell on Jun Wancai, and Jun Wancai understood what she meant.

"I, the Pavilion Master, have decided to appoint Chu Xunzhen as the Chief Gu Poison Master of my Treasure Pavilion. The identity of the Ninth Princess will be kept secret."

Chu Xunzhen said, "This princess will be using the alias Master Muyue. Now, could the sect leader please give me the teddy bear?"

Jun Wancai nodded and said, "Your Highness has great courage. Someone, bring the little bear up so Your Highness can take it away."

Chu Xunzhen's expression brightened, and she said, "I will send someone to discuss the details of the subsequent cooperation with the Pavilion Master."

Jun Wancai still had reservations, and immediately asked, "Is the Gu poison pill safe? Does it have absolutely no side effects?"
