Chapter 179 Are you crazy?
Zhu Yan sneered lowly, "I guess he needs me to kill the new Gu King for him!"

"Go into the palace quickly! Don't suffer any punishment!" Lin Susu sighed softly.

"No...go..."

He was in so much pain that he leaned over the table and took a few deep breaths.

"..."

Lin Susu couldn't help it, "That's all, I'll go take a look!"

She stood up and disappeared like smoke.

After looking for several places, I finally saw Emperor Zhou's ceremonial guard in Guyue Palace.

"Snapped!"

There was the sound of breaking porcelain.

The servants stood outside the door tremblingly, and there seemed to be a quarrel in the palace.

Lin Susu walked into the palace and saw Emperor Zhou pointing at Gu Yue angrily.

"Look at the good son you raised, he is becoming more and more untamable now! He can even endure the pain of 'Heaven and Earth Harmony'! He thinks that I can't suppress the Yan army if I leave him?!"

Gu Yue covered her head with a gauze veil, her posture was humble, and she wanted to grab Emperor Zhou's hand, but he threw her away.

"Your Majesty, he won't last long! Don't be angry! I said that as long as the 'heart key' is there, Yan'er can't escape your control!"

"The Yan army has nothing to fear!"

During the tug, the gauze on Gu Yue's face was pulled open a crack, and her white-haired and chicken-skinned appearance instantly made Emperor Zhou twice as disgusted.

That look deeply hurt Gu Yue, and she couldn't care less about anything else, so she grabbed his hand and spoke in a sharp and trembling voice.

"Does Your Majesty hate me so much?! Just because I don't look good?"

"...Have you ever loved me?!!"

Gu Yue's eyes looked crazy, and she tried to pull him like crazy. The gap became wider and wider, revealing more of her old face.

Emperor Zhou couldn't bear it any longer, pushed Gu Yue away, and said in disgust, "Crazy woman!"

Waving his sleeves, he turned around and left quickly.

Gu Yue stared at his back, slumped on the ground, dazed for a moment, and then suddenly laughed softly.

She put her hands on the ground and let out a muffled laugh from her throat, staring at Emperor Zhou's back with gloomy eyes and a crazy expression.

Lin Susu secretly wondered that the key did not appear when the two interacted. Could it be that someone else controlled the key?
Would Emperor Zhou really trust others with such an important thing?

Moreover, Lin Susu had already told Gu Yue that the key to undoing the poison was the key. After all this time, she still hadn't taken out the key?
It's strange that she cares so much about her face, so why can't she hold back the key to remove the poison for herself?

Returning to Prince Li's Mansion again, Zhu Yan curled up into a ball, his fingertips were all covered in blood, and he clung to his sleeves. The light purple material was stained with blood.

His forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably because of the pain.

Lin Susu clenched her fists, feeling complicated.

She walked to his side and persuaded him, "Stop holding back and go into the palace! What's the point of holding back like this?"

Zhu Yan made a hoarse and depressed voice, "I just... don't want to be like a dog, being summoned and gone as soon as they call it!"

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and an inarticulate moan escaped his lips.

"Lin... Susu."

The young man's consciousness was chaotic, his eyes were misty, and he called her name quickly.

Lin Susu stretched out her hand to squeeze his cold hand, but it was held back. There was a pull on her hand, and the man who curled up into a ball hugged her into his arms.

He couldn't control his trembling in pain, but still held her tightly, burying his head in her neck, clinging to her greedily as if he had found a home.

Lin Susu couldn't help but ask the system, "Is there any painkiller?"

The system said, "No, but it can be transferred."

"Then I..."

Before Lin Susu finished speaking, the system had already taken the lead and said angrily, "Are you crazy?!"

"Do you know what you are talking about?! The system of Du Jingqi could understand it before, but now you actually want to bear the pain of being shattered into pieces for him!"

The system's tone suddenly became cold, "Host, why?!"

"I..." Lin Susu hesitated, subconsciously trying to find an excuse, but also felt strange, when would she be so kind?

This disaster deserves to be painful to death!
But she felt uncomfortable in her chest, like a heavy lead cloud pressing down on her. She felt uncomfortable and couldn't find the reason.

The system stopped talking, and Lin Susu didn't say anything to distract her from the pain.

She thought that maybe she was just having a sudden attack of the Holy Mother's heart.

As long as he gets the key and Zhu Yan is free, he will no longer have the thought of destroying the world.

Her mission was successful.

Don't worry about the rest.

Zhu Yan would rather endure the pain than go to the palace and obey orders. Within a few days, the Yan army attacked three cities in a row.

Because of the indifference of the imperial court, and even more because of the reputation of the Gu King, the three fallen cities radiated around them. Countless officials surrendered with the cities, and nearly a dozen cities were lost before the battle was even fought.

The atmosphere in the court hall was depressing every day, and the officials looked as if they were mourning for their heirs.

They didn't understand. There was clearly King Li in the Zhou Kingdom, so why didn't the Emperor of Zhou use him?

But they didn't know that Zhu Yan endured severe pain every day and refused to obey orders, which left Emperor Zhou helpless.

Gu Yue came to Prince Li's Mansion and looked at Zhu Yan huddled in the corner, feeling angry and resentful.

"What the hell are you trying to do?!"

Her head was wrapped in black gauze, and her eyes were blood-red like an evil spirit, looking bitterly at the embarrassed young man in front of her.

Zhu Yan opened his eyes and laughed proudly and coldly.

Gu Yue stretched out her fingers stained with cinnabar, pinched his chin, and said grimly, "Do you want the key? Impossible! This level of coercion is useless!"

"Even if the Kingdom of Zhou dies, mother will take you into hell with her."

"The three of us have to be together all the time. We are a family!"

"Well, there's also the princess you asked for..."

Gu Yue pretended to be surprised and laughed evilly.

Zhu Yan's face was expressionless, not affected at all.

Gu Yue slowly suppressed her smile, stood up and stared at him condescendingly for a while, then turned and left.

The young man looked at her back quietly, the darkness in his eyes gathering little by little until all the light disappeared.

Lin Susu placed many Sky-Eyed Bulbuls next to Gu Yue and observed Gu Yue's movements every day.

She didn't dare to act rashly. Now at the critical moment, Gu Yue's mental state had reached the critical point, and she might go get the key at any time.

As the Yan army's attack on the city accelerated, Emperor Zhou's face became darker day by day. There were fewer and fewer generals available in the court, and some even fled with their families.

Emperor Zhou was furious. If these people were caught, they would all be sentenced to death. For a while, Shengjing was in panic.

Several of Lin's stewards came to Lin Susu's small courtyard tremblingly.

"Miss, the current situation is chaotic, what should I do?"

A steward asked expectantly.

The current situation of the Zhou Kingdom is all because King Li did not take action. They believe that once King Li goes to war, the situation will be reversed.

His young lady is Princess Zhun Li, so she must know the reason and can point the direction for Lin.

Lin Susu didn't know what the world would become if things continued like this. After all, the plot was now like a wild horse, out of control.

She thought for a while and could only say, "Lin's has made a lot of profits these days. It's a big tree and attracts the wind. Let's close it for a while to avoid being criticized by interested people."

Because of Zhu Yan's resistance to Emperor Zhou, the Zhou army was unable to lead and retreated steadily. The people were worried about the imminent destruction of the country, and many people gradually complained against King Li.

Just some time ago, under the guise of Prince Li, the Lin family developed rapidly and blocked many families' financial paths.

Once chaos breaks out in Shengjing, the Lin family will be the first to suffer.

At this moment, Tianyan Bulbul sent back news that Zhu Chan led an army of [-] people and surrounded the city of Shengjing with the slogan "Resist the Yan army and protect the emperor".

All the powerful nobles who learned the news immediately felt a thump in their hearts, knowing that at this critical moment.

King Wei actually rebelled!
