Chapter 184 Prying into the past
Gu Rushuang's face suddenly turned pale, she looked around frantically, and then said calmly, "I don't know what you are talking about!"

Lin Susu raised her eyebrows, "Don't worry, there are no forbidden butterflies here."

Gu Rushuang remained indifferent, "The formation is huge and complex. Although my body is being repaired, once it is put into operation, it will still be difficult and failure is common."

"Really?" Lin Susu said meaningfully, "Of course it is normal to fail, but after the failure, no one died... This is not normal."

Gu Rushuang's brows suddenly showed shock, "You..."

how do you know
She dared not speak out.

Lin Susu smiled, of course because the system did not punish her.

Gu Rushuang looked around uneasily, and finally lowered her voice and said, "Miss Lin, I know that you have a kind heart. Once this matter is revealed..."

She shivered uncontrollably.

"You can't hide it for long."

Lin Susu sighed, "With Zhu Yan's ability, it will take less than three days..."

Gu Rushuang gritted her teeth and her face became paler. She obviously understood better than Lin Susu.

"How long can I hide it..."

Her voice was thin and trembling, unable to conceal her despair.

"why?!"

Lin Susu was puzzled, "Before, you were able to kill young girls without mercy and absorb the energy of the whole city's young and old. Why are you so merciless now..."

Gu Rushuang's eyes were red, she raised her head and gasped for breath, with a strong look of pain on her face.

"I know that my sins are serious... I can't escape the death penalty... Let's treat it as a sin for myself before I die..."

Lin Susu didn't believe it, "Do you really know you were wrong?"

Gu Rushuang laughed miserably, "My father and mother committed suicide in order to stop me..."

"Zhong'an Mansion is a loyal family. How many of our ancestors turned to pieces to gain a clear name, but it was me who ruined the family..."

Lin Susu was shocked, her throat was dry, "Zhong Anbo and his wife..."

She took a deep breath and suppressed her discomfort.

Gu Rushuang muttered in confusion, "Perhaps, if I go underground, I will have the face... to meet the two elders."

Lin Susu looked at her and said, "If you really want to atone for your sins, then do me a favor and I can temporarily cover up for you."

"What?!" Gu Rushuang frowned suspiciously.

"Is there a Gu that can peek into past memories...that can be used on Zhu Yan..."

Lin Susu didn't hold out much hope. After all, he had king Gu to protect him. Ordinary Gu might not be of much use.

Unexpectedly, Gu Rushuang was stunned for a moment, and did not ask her why. She only lowered her face and waited for a while before speaking.

"The Nirvana Formation must be set up based on a person's lifelong memories. It is the best thing to peer into the past."

"If it can be used on His Highness...if you can get His Highness to put down all his defenses...then you can use him to set up an array."

Gu Rushuang said, shaking her head, "His Highness's temperament... this is impossible."

"How to do it?"

Lin Susu asked.

Gu Rushuang glanced at her with complicated eyes, took out the Xumi mirror from her arms and handed it over.

"The formation has become one with it."

"You can turn on the Sumeru Mirror when His Highness is unprepared to absorb the vitality of the people in the city. At the right time, you can drive the Sumeru Mirror into his body and enter the illusion of Nirvana."

"The formation is controlled by the person who set it up. You can use the Sumeru Mirror to close it at any time."

"Remember, you must not stay for too long, otherwise the formation will absorb all the vitality of the people, and the fields will be littered with corpses and filled with murderous evil."

Lin Susu took the Xumi mirror and nodded, with complicated emotions.

She never expected that one day, the Nirvana Formation would be opened by her own hands.

The system doesn't understand, "Why do you want to pry into the villain's past?"

Lin Susu squeezed the Xumi Mirror tightly, "Only by understanding his past can we prescribe the right medicine. I also want to know why he frequently sets up large formations."

"There's no way he could tell me this."

The system was curious, "Then how are you going to make him let down his guard?"

"I do not know."

System, "..." "Hide the Xumi Mirror for me. I can't take it with me. Zhu Banyan will notice it."

After separating from Gu Rushuang, Lin Susu began to collect wool from the system.

White smoke swirled around her hand, and the Xumi Mirror disappeared. Lin Susu was about to praise it for its generosity and loyalty, but the system said otherwise.

"Mustard Space, one coin a day, thank you for your patronage."

"..."

In the afternoon, the snow stopped.

The palace people were busy cleaning the snow, while Lin Susu wandered around the palace in boredom.

However, he suddenly discovered that the Tianming Hall, which was decorated with carved beams and painted pillars just a few days ago, had now turned into an abandoned hall with ruins and broken walls.

The wooden beams scattered across the house were full of traces of being burned by the fire.

She grabbed a chambermaid who was carrying scrap wood and asked.

"How is this going?"

The waiter looked at her suspiciously, "Who are you?"

The way she dressed was clearly not that of a palace person.

Lin Susu immediately pulled Zhu Yan's tiger skin, "I am the personal maid that His Highness Prince Li has just brought into the palace. It is normal for you to have never seen her before."

The waiter was so shocked that he bent down a little, "I see, I'm sorry for my stupidity."

"A few days ago, His Majesty was assassinated by the rebel king in the palace, and a fire was set... then..."

The waiter looked flattering.

"..."

The corner of Lin Susu's mouth twitched, Zhu Chan really took the blame well.

But Zhu Yan was ruthless and didn't even leave the whole body intact for those two people.

Zhu Yan put down the book in his hand and glanced at Liu Rang who was waiting on the side.

Liu Rang said hurriedly, "Your Highness is tired? Do you want to go for a walk?"

Zhu Yan said nothing, staring quietly at the door.

Liu Rang continued, "Miss Lin has been wandering around the palace in the afternoon."

The young man pursed his lips tightly and said with a stiff voice, "She is quite free!"

Liu Rang smiled and said, "Then your Highness should go out for a walk. Maybe you can meet Miss Lin."

"What did you do when you met her?"

Zhu Yanli's eyebrows were full of disdain. She picked up another booklet, glanced at it randomly for a few times, threw it on the imperial desk, kept silent for a moment, got up and walked out.

Liu Rang hurriedly followed.

As soon as he left the palace, he met several ministers.

"My minister has seen His Highness."

Zhu Yan frowned and looked at the few people with an unkind expression.

"What's the matter?"

Several people lowered their heads and looked at each other. One of them stepped forward and held hands.

"Your Highness, the country cannot be without a king for a day. The late emperor has passed away, rebelled against the king and fled. I still ask your highness to ascend the throne as soon as possible and take charge of the overall situation."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Several people said in unison, "Please Your Highness to ascend the throne as soon as possible and take charge of the overall situation."

Zhu Yan was silent for a while, then suddenly said coldly, "What? If I don't ascend the throne, I won't be able to take charge of the overall situation?"

Several people's legs were frightened and they knelt down with a thud, "I have no intention of doing this!"

The flattery was slapped on the horse's leg, and several people regretted it. After thinking about it, they couldn't understand how someone could be just one step away from the throne, but could resist sitting on it.

"There is a traitorous King of Wei inside who is watching, and there is an army of Yan outside. If you have nothing to do, you can choose one of these places to come in person, so that you can share your worries with me."

Zhu Yan's tone was unusually soft and cold.

Several ministers were shaking like chaff and did not dare to answer. It was a cold day, and strings of cold sweat rolled down their foreheads, and they did not dare to wipe them away.

Zhu Yan snorted and stepped forward, leaving only a few people trembling.
