Just when Lin Susu was thinking hard about how to delay going to Wan Gu Territory, a turning point came suddenly.

Prince Daksha, who was assassinated some time ago, died suddenly in a post palace guarded by layers of imperial troops shortly after saving his life.

At the same time, envoys from many countries were fatally attacked in the post palace. Gradually, rumors spread.

In the past few years, the Zhou State had gathered tribute from all over the world, and the people were prosperous, and the army and horses were strong. The Emperor of Zhou had a desire to conquer the world.

Killing the envoys of various countries is just his first step to muddy the situation. The next step is to tear up the peace treaty and launch a war against various countries.

As if to confirm this rumor, in the morning of the next day, I suddenly received news that a small country bordering Zhou State had been destroyed overnight.

Even though the small country was no bigger than a city, it was still shocking to see it destroyed overnight.

Currently, the person with such power of ghosts and gods in this world is none other than King Li of Zhou State. After all, he has set this record before.

Suddenly, all the envoys in the post palace were panicked. Many people dressed up in disguise and ran around, intending to escape from the Zhou Kingdom by bribing the princes and ministers.

But at this juncture, no one dares to accept this fatal benefit. As expected, these people were rejected one after another.

Emperor Zhou was furious in the court and sent Ni Si to the border to find out the reason for the destruction of the country.

At the same time, he ordered the post palace to be strictly guarded and sent beauties to appease the frightened envoys.

He was also afraid that the unfavorable rumors in Shengjing during this period would be spread back to his own country by the envoys, so he arranged for people to keep an eye on the envoys' communications with the country in person.

However, all precautions are taken, and one or two messages that slip through the net will eventually be sent back.

Combined with the sudden destruction of the small border country and the death of two princes in Shengjing, the rumors became more and more intense.

Countries have close contacts in private and are united, and the situation is on the verge of breaking out.

At this time, Zhou's reliance on Zhu Yan became increasingly important.

Only a few days later, Gu Yue specially sent a servant to explain, saying that there was no rush to get the medicine, and that it would not be too late to go when Lin Susu had recuperated and had enough ability to protect herself.

Lin Susu knew that even if Gu Yue could control Zhu Yan, she would not dare to continue to stimulate him at this time.

If the system hadn't punished the villain for killing him, Lin Susu would have almost suspected that all of this situation, including the destruction of the small country, was Zhu Yan's handiwork, in order to resist Gu Yue's various petty actions against him.

But it’s a good thing that I don’t have to go out of my way to find excuses.

However, the small country was destroyed overnight, and it was not Zhu Yan's fault. In other words, a person with the same combat power as Zhu Yan appeared.

Moreover, this person was still hiding in the dark, which was not really good news for Lin Susu.

But if she stopped Zhu Yan, the people in the dark would become evil again.

With these concerns, Lin Susu felt depressed for several days, until Gu Yue announced that there was a strange poison in the palace, and whoever could solve it would be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and a hereditary title.

The moment she had been waiting for had come...

Talented people who coveted generous rewards entered the palace one after another. Not long after, another one left the palace with a disappointed look on his face.

After going back and forth for several days without achieving anything, Gu Yue finally lost her temper and beheaded a folk Gu master.

After that, no one dared to enter the palace to see him.

Her endurance had reached breaking point.

Lin Susu knew it was time to take action.

He exchanged a face-changing mask in the mall, disguised himself as a middle-aged man, and entered the palace with great swagger.

Led by the palace servants, they entered the inner palace where Gu Yue lived. It was still a hall with hanging gauze curtains, and Gu Yue's cold voice came from inside.

"Sir, I must have heard that the former Japanese Palace killed a liar who cheated and kidnapped him. He had no real ability and yet he dared to embarrass himself in front of me!"

"You really deserve to be killed!" Lin Susu smiled confidently, "You really deserve to be killed for delaying your empress!"

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and Gu Yue spoke in a gentle voice, "Sir, if you are so unafraid, you must be sure to unlock that strange poison!"

Lin Susu stroked her beard unskillfully and began to brag, "Caomin has been walking among the people for most of his life, and he has solved tens of millions of poisons, and it is no less! I am willing to give it a try!"

There were footsteps in the palace, Lin Susu lowered her head, Gu Yue passed her and walked straight to the side to sit down, stretched out her hand, and someone from the palace hurriedly placed the pulse pillow under her wrist.

Lin Susu still lowered her head politely, stepped back to the table, stretched out her hand and started to feel her pulse.

After shaking her head and pretending to be mysterious, she put down her hand and cupped it.

"I have never seen the poison that the empress was possessed by!"

"Humph!" Gu Yue's expression changed, she slapped the table with her big hand, and was about to ask someone to drag her out.

Lin Susu hurriedly responded, "But this pulse, I heard Master said that the same kind of strange Gu is very similar!"

"The name of that poison is 'Xiandu'. It is said that those who are infected by the poison will have their youth devoured by the poison and gradually age."

"I wonder, my dear, do you have these symptoms?"

she asked cautiously.

Gu Yue's fingers trembled unconsciously, but she still pretended to be calm, "Keep talking!"

Lin Susu continued, "Master has said its solution, but I feel that there is no such thing in this world!"

"Ok?"

Gu Yue asked impatiently, "What is it?"

Lin Susu said, "According to legend, there is a divine object in this world that can both repair and destroy, called 'Heaven and Earth Together'. The key that coexists with it is said to have the ability to control time."

"The years swallowed up by 'wasting' are essentially time, and that key happens to be its nemesis."

Facing Gu Yue's cold and scrutinizing gaze, Lin Susu felt nothing and still sighed.

"But these are all too illusory. How can there be such divine objects in the world?!"

After saying that, she seemed to have just realized her situation, and she hurriedly bowed her waist and said, "Old people are incompetent. I just heard the master said the solution to this poison. Is it feasible? I'm sorry for being stupid!"

The hall was quiet for a long time, Gu Yue's eyes were cast on her spine, cold and bone-chilling.

"It's not too useless after all. I will spare your life, so you can go back first."

Lin Susu hurriedly showed how happy she was to survive the disaster, kowtowed as if to express gratitude, and bowed back.

As soon as she left the palace, she was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, she walked around the streets like an ordinary traveling doctor, treating minor problems for the people in the city and collecting some money.

We checked in at the inn again in the evening.

The people monitoring her had changed their shifts, and they probably went to the palace to report to Gu Yue on her movements today.

Lin Susu turned over on the bed and continued to snore loudly.

Until late in the night, the people monitoring her changed again, and they stared at her all night without blinking, making her think that Li Daitao couldn't even find the opportunity.

"..."

Helpless, Lin Susu had no choice but to use the mall to find a colorless and odorless medicinal powder and sprinkle it into the air.

The man in the dark suddenly lost his sight.

Lin Susu stood up and knocked on the window. Not long after, Hua Miao, who had been arranged to meet her, opened the window and jumped in.
