Want to tease the prince, the cat is soft and delicate

Chapter 212: Eating the Heart

After Jinli's relentless questioning, it was discovered that Zuo Qingxian also had a tragic past.

And if it weren't for Empress Shun'an, he would have become someone else's medicine.

Xuanyuan Che said that he wanted to question Zuo Qingxian in detail, but in fact he did not make things too difficult for him.

Zuo Qingxian had a fair exchange with him, told him what he knew, and then used Xuanyuan Che's hand to eliminate the villains in Shangqing Sect who killed his master.

"Over the years, I have traveled through the tunnels to various palaces, and I have come to the conclusion that what happened back then was related to one person."

Xuanyuan Che sat behind the desk, rubbing the ring on his finger back and forth. He raised his eyes and said three words: "Empress Cao."

Zuo Qingxian nodded: "The Cao family has already planned a rebellion, and the army is also on high alert, waiting for an order. The news of the palace raising a monster has spread among the Taoist sects, and many Taoist sects have joined Xuanyuan Feng's army. Once the ghost fox and Gong Anyan achieve their goals, a war will be imminent."

"Gong Anyan? The princess of the Northern Territory? What's her purpose?" Mei Susu asked, "Could it be that she came to Dashun this time because the Northern Territory heard about it and wanted to get a piece of the action?"

"That's not the case." A clear male voice sounded from the darkness. Everyone turned around and saw Liu Gao walking out of the darkness.

"Liu Gao!" Zuo Qingxian exclaimed in surprise, then he glanced at Xuanyuan Che who was concentrating on drinking tea, and was horrified. He really underestimated Xuanyuan Che, who had buried his own people in the Northern Territory so early.

Gong Anyan probably never dreamed that her lover would be the sharp blade of Prince Dashun.

Jinli had of course met Liu Gao before, when he was the same age as Xuanyuan Che.

But then one day he suddenly disappeared and I haven't seen him for many years.

He thought he was thrown into the organization by Xuanyuan Che, but he never expected that he went to the Northern Territory and became Xuanyuan Che's informant.

Mei Susu didn't know Liu Gao, but his appearance here meant that he was Xuanyuan Che's man. While looking at him with some curiosity, Liu Gao was also looking at Mei Susu.

Liu Gao could not deny that the woman who suddenly appeared beside his master was more beautiful than any other woman he had ever seen, with a kind of lively beauty.

Her skin is as flawless as white jade, and her eyes are as beautiful as stars.

Although her figure is not charming, her body is slender and has flesh where it should be.

The girl looks young. In two years when she fully grows up, she will surely become a beauty that will make any spring breeze bring shame to the whole country.

Zhuixue and others said that they didn't know his origins, but since their master was so concerned about him, he definitely could not be of unknown origin.

Liu Gao withdrew his gaze from Mei Susu, walked to Xuanyuan Che and began to tell him what he knew.

"Many years ago, the Queen of the Northern Territory recruited a group of wizards to pray for the good fortune of her unborn baby seven days before her birth. The blessing lasted for seven days and seven nights and attracted the attention of the entire Northern Territory."

"But the blessing was an illusion. The Queen of the Northern Territory bribed those wizards and used secret techniques she found from somewhere to instruct them to tamper with the blessing words."

"Seven days later, the Queen of the Northern Territory gave birth. Guess whether it's a boy or a girl?"

Liu Gao smiled meaningfully and looked at everyone.

Zuo Qingxian sneered: "The eldest princess Gong Anyan is a woman, so she is naturally a woman."

Jinli felt that there must be something strange about Liu Gao asking this question, but it would not be right to answer "male".

He had a vague guess and looked at Liu Gao, seeking an answer.

Liu Gao smiled at him and said, "It's a hermaphrodite."

Hermaphrodite?

A picture emerged in Mei Susu's mind. Was it what she thought?

"Impossible." Zuo Qingxian retorted: "If it is a hermaphrodite, it would be more convenient to use a male identity. Since the Queen of the Northern Territory wanted a prince so much, why would she tell others that she gave birth to a princess?"

Liu Gao laughed and said, "How do you know that the Queen of the Northern Territory calls herself Princess?"

“It’s common knowledge.”

"Wrong, absolutely wrong." Liu Gao shook his head: "In fact, it was announced to the public that they were twins."

Jinli couldn't help but speak out: "But for so many years, the outside world doesn't seem to have heard anything about the Crown Prince of the Northern Territory."

When Liu Gao mentioned this, a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes. "Because on the third day after the Queen of the Northern Territory gave birth, the fictitious prince was stolen away. Some people said that they saw the thief wearing a wizard's black robe. All the wizards and their families who prayed for the queen were slaughtered overnight. This incident has become a pain in the Northern Territory royal family. No one dares to mention it."

Mei Susu sighed softly: "These things are indeed difficult to investigate if we don't go deep into the Northern Territory. After all, those who knew about what happened back then are all dead."

Xuanyuan Che smiled and squeezed her little hand: "No, there is still one alive."

Mei Susu looked up in astonishment. There was no need to say who this living person was.

Zuo Qingxian and Jinli had never imagined that Liu Gao was actually the orphan of those people back then.

He was probably only five or six years old at that time, and those people did not even let the child go.

"For so many years afterwards, the Northern Territory royal family tried their best to hide the abnormality of Gong Anyan's body. After all, if the world knew that the royal family had a hermaphrodite princess, it would probably make the world laugh at it."

"They secretly searched for a way to restore Gong Anyan to normal health until three years ago, when the King of the Northern Territory found a fox and brought back two people."

"Is it the snow fox?" Mei Susu asked.

Liu Gao nodded: "Since those two entered the palace, the fox has never been separated from Gong Anyan. I have secretly investigated and found that the fox is a ghost fox that can absorb human essence and pass it on to Gong Anyan. While ensuring her eternal youth, it is also preparing for what she is about to do."

"what's up?"

Mei Susu and Zuo Qingxian asked in unison.

Zuo Qingxian only knew that the ghost fox could absorb people's essence, and he also knew that Gong Anyan had bad intentions, but he didn't know her real purpose.

The reason why he was so excited was very simple. If he knew his real purpose, he could start to prepare to break the impasse. With his Taoism, he might be able to subdue the ghost fox.

Liu Gao's eyes darkened and his face became gloomy: "She wants to steal my heart."

Jinli was horrified: "Eating human hearts can gain a thousand years of cultivation. The King of the Northern Territory actually wants to raise a monster. If he succeeds, not to mention Gong Anyan's body can be restored to its original state, I'm afraid Dashun and Huang Yan will be in great trouble. He wants to dominate the world!"

Mei Susu was puzzled: "Since eating a human heart can gain a thousand years of Taoism, why do you have to come to Dashun to eat it? There are so many people in the Northern Territory, isn't it enough to eat? Or..."

Her eyes suddenly fixed on Xuanyuan Che: "It won't be what I thought, right?"

Xuanyuan Che smiled without saying anything, which was already his answer to her question.

Jinli's face darkened: "It is indeed as you thought. What she needs is not the heart of an ordinary person, but the heart of a person with destiny."

As he spoke, Jinli raised his eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Che with a worried look on his face: "In this palace, there are two people who possess the aura of destiny."

Mei Susu had always thought that Xuanyuan Che was the only one who possessed the aura of destiny, and never thought that there was another one.

"who is it?"

Liu Gao: "Your Majesty."
