Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 68 Trendy Banshee

"What else happened?" Zi Nu asked strangely. She couldn't think of anything else that happened to Gu Xun.

She never thought there was anything wrong with Gu Xun's visit to the palace for diagnosis, because Zilanxuan's intelligence network showed that Mrs. Mingzhu had indeed been ill for several days, and the hospital was helpless.

Although there are some exceptions to finding foreign aid so quickly, on the one hand, Mrs. Mingzhu has a respected status and is the two most favored concubines in the harem. It is normal for Han Wangan to be impatient. On the other hand, Gu Xun and the palace really have no connection. There is no reason. Causing trouble in the palace.

As for the problem of the trendy banshee, Zi Nu didn't think about it at all. Even if Ye Mu noticed that there was a problem, it would not be the turn of this fierce general to take the lead in attacking Gu Xun.

"Part of the joke you just told is true." Gu Xun said seriously, indicating that he was not joking this time.

"Is part of it true? Don't you mean to say..." Zi Nu thought that Gu Xun wanted to repeat the second half of the sentence 'eating in the palace...', her expression remained unchanged, but her heartbeat accelerated.

What happened to this man today?
  "Yes, I want to say that it is true that Mrs. Mingzhu feels lonely after living in the palace for a long time."

"Ah???" Zi Nu asked with a question mark on her face.

Gu Xun's words were not only different from what he had guessed, but the deviation was also huge!
  "What does it mean?"

Gu Xun saw Zi Nu's rare expression of confusion. He felt a little cute for some reason and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Huhu, haha!" Gu Xun quickly covered his mouth, "Sorry, I couldn't hold it back."

"Are you kidding again?" Zi Nu's mood is still calm, and she feels that she has begun to get used to it.

"No, everything I say now is not a joke, it is a fact." Gu Xun quickly denied that we were talking about business now, and the smile just now was just an accident.

"Today in the palace, although I didn't plan to have any super-friendly relationship with Mrs. Mingzhu, she was actively seducing me."

"She was pretending to be sick just to see me."

"???"

"She said that she had seen my portrait and fell in love with me at first sight. She said that life in the palace was very empty, lonely and cold, and she wanted to find me to pursue true love together."

"???!!!"

Zi Nu was completely confused, what a mess!

"What did you say!?"

"I said that she is obsessed with my peerless appearance and wants to pursue the truth with me..."

"Okay, don't repeat it." Zi Nu interrupted directly.

It's not that she didn't hear clearly, she just questioned in disbelief.

What kind of excuse is this? I admit that your face is very lethal, but it's not that powerful, right?

Will a woman who is able to thrive in the harem be a pretty girl who will risk everything for a handsome guy?
  "This is obviously a lie!" Zi Nu asserted directly.

"I know." Gu Xun nodded in agreement with Zi Nu's words without hesitation.

Then, without waiting for Zi Nu to react, Gu Xun directly revealed the big news to her.

"How could the Tide Banshee, one of the four evil generals of the night, fall in love for such a ridiculous reason?"

"You mean that Mrs. Pearl is a trendy banshee?" "That's right."

Unexpectedly, Zi Nu did not show too much surprise because of Gu Xun's revelation. Instead, she was unusually calm. The previous surprise, surprise, and confusion on her fair and pretty face had all disappeared, leaving only a little surprise. .

She was a little confused by Gu Xun's words before, but after hearing the words "Chao Banshee", she regained her usual calmness and straightened everything out at once.

The news given by Gu Xun is actually not particularly surprising. After all, Madam Mingzhu is one of the only suspects for the true identity of the trendy banshee. There is a 1/2 chance that it is her. If he tells someone something that was not known before Names are worthy of surprise.

The surprise on Zi Nu's face now was not the true identity of the tide banshee, but the surprise that she had suddenly discovered this secret that she had never been able to find out.

But she still needs evidence. Although she believes in Gu Xun and has her own conjecture about Mrs. Mingzhu's abnormal behavior, she still needs evidence.

"Do you have evidence to support this conclusion?"

"Evidence..." Gu Xun mumbled a few times, wondering what constituted evidence. After thinking for a while, he replied:
  "Mrs. Mingzhu knows martial arts."

"Yeah." Zi Nu snorted, noncommittal, just a doubt, but not enough.

Gu Xun continued:
  "It doesn't really matter that she knows martial arts. Her strength is very meager, and she's not as good as you."

Zi Nu didn't respond, she was already used to Gu Xun's bad mouth.

"Interestingly, she is good at illusions and pharmacology. She seems to be able to create incense that can pull people into controllable dreams, and subconsciously influence and control people who fall into dreams. She has tried to deal with me before using incense. , the effect was very good, I almost fell into her trap."

Zi Nu's eyes jumped. This skill is very sensitive. If it is just an illusion, it would be fine. The traces of using illusion to control people are very obvious. Sooner or later, the masters in the palace will see the clues. But if it cooperates with the strange incense mentioned by Shang Guxun , you can secretly influence Han Wangan's behavior with almost no trace.

"In this case, Mrs. Mingzhu must be a trendy banshee."

Zi Nu does not doubt what Gu Xun said. With his strength, he will not be wrong about this kind of thing. Of course, she does not rule out the possibility that another suspect - Hu Meiren is also a trendy banshee, or has something to do with Ye Mu. .

Turning her gaze slightly, Zi Nu secretly glanced at Gu Xun, who was pretending to be "I finally guessed that Madam Mingzhu is a trendy banshee". Although there was no direct evidence, Zi Nu believed that this matter was definitely not his. Inferred from existing clues.

This man's ability to manage emotions and expressions was really unqualified. Zi Nu could tell there was something wrong with him at a glance, but...it didn't matter. How he knew it didn't matter. He was willing to pretend to be stupid, so Zi Nu played along with him.

Withdrawing her gaze, Zi Nu began to talk about other topics as if nothing had happened:
  "This can also explain why she pretended to be ill to recruit you into the palace. It must be because of the incident with the Emerald Tiger."

Gu Xun pulled his hair slightly distressed, "But from the time I entered the palace to the time I left, she didn't mention a word about the Jade Tiger, Xiaoyaowan's business, or even my origins and identity, not even a subtle touch. , it’s completely confusing.”

"Nothing involved?"

"No."

"Then what did you say?"

"It's what I said before. She said she admired me, felt lonely and cold in the palace, and wanted to be with..."

Zi Nu closed her eyes and rubbed her eyebrows with her left hand. She raised her right hand to interrupt Gu Xun's re-reading, "Okay, no need to repeat it." She felt that Gu Xun might have done it on purpose.

"That means she only did one thing during the entire diagnosis process, and that was to seduce you?"

Gu Xun thought about it for a moment, and there was basically nothing wrong with it, "Yes, that's it."
