Chapter 493: Why bother making things difficult for the chess pieces
The "Zi Gu" in King Xu's body had its qi and blood supply cut off by Ji Yun. The "Zi Gu" began to become exhausted, and King Xu's body then showed signs of severe general discomfort.

The moist and warm complexion gradually loses its luster!

The skin gradually wrinkles!

The elegant and gentle King Xu is gradually showing his old age!
Soon, King Xu felt that his arms seemed to be as dry as tree bark!
King Xu looked at his exposed hands, which were gradually losing their original smoothness and moisture. He was immediately horrified and filled with fear!
People who encounter sudden changes will inevitably be shocked, no matter how strong they are inside. An uneasy heart will quickly make them fragile, and their psychological defenses can be easily broken!

Ji Yin leaned down slightly and said softly,

"You encouraged the Second Prince to ascend the throne in order to avoid the blood curse. When the Second Prince kills his father, it will be like the blood curse coming true."

"But, you are also a descendant of the Great Zhou royal family, how can you really avoid it? Oh, by the way, you think that since you have no children, a tragedy like "patricide" will not happen to you. You also have no brothers, so naturally there is no "brotherly feud"."

"You think that with the help of Gu, you can have children again after you ascend the throne. However, Your Highness Prince Xu, now you are able to be vigorous and strong all thanks to the support of Gu worms. Can you guarantee that the person who provided you with Gu worms will always be loyal to you? Or can you guarantee that the person who provided you with Gu worms will always win and never lose?"

King Xu was stunned.

Suddenly I remembered that when Su Jin and Meilin suddenly exploded and died, Yuan Xian also encountered "backlash".

It’s just that Yuan Xian’s skills are very profound, so he recovered quickly!

At that time, King Xu realized that Yuan Xian was not as strong as King Kong!
Before this, King Xu had always believed that Yuan Xian was like the legendary peerless master who was "invulnerable to swords and guns."

But at that moment, King Xu had to admit that the "peerless master" was also a "human"!
“The peerless master” is not a “god”!
At that time, when Yuan Xian was recovering from his injuries, he was supported by precious medicinal herbs such as ginseng, deer antler, Tianshan snow lotus, and Ganoderma lucidum, which flowed like water.

If these medicines were not replenished in time, King Xu couldn't imagine what kind of accident would happen to Yuan Xian.

However, King Xu didn't know, and Yuanxian himself didn't know either.

Because Yuanxian had never encountered such a situation before.

"If something happens to the person who helps you refine the Gu worm, what can you rely on?"

Yes, if something unexpected happened to Yuanxian, how could King Xu control his huge followers?
King Xu has always used three main methods to develop followers:
One is the temptation of money.

The second is coercion.

For example, finding the weaknesses or leverage of believers.

However, neither money nor leverage is enough to make believers completely loyal.

Therefore, Yuan first helped him obtain the third method: using Gu to control the followers.

Over the years, King Xu has developed nearly 100,000 followers, so naturally, he cannot directly control every one of them.

The Gu of the Sogu tribe can only control a few hundred people at most.

The poisonous insect that Yuan Xian refined using the blood of living people can control more than a thousand people.

Through these thousand people, they can control the others. Therefore, when the insect is activated, a thousand people can be invincible!
but
"If you and the Second Prince were both dead, who would be the biggest beneficiary?"

King Xu's mind went blank in an instant, and it seemed as if a heavy hammer was hitting his chest hard!

There is no doubt that if Yuan Xian died, his followers would disappear like fallen leaves in the autumn wind!

And what if King Xu himself died?
Yuan Xian can definitely find another "King of Xu"!
Ji Yin added another strong dose of medicine.
"Are you sure that the other party is cooperating with you not for your royal bloodline? Otherwise, why are County Master Yangxu, County Master Qiqing, Princess Ning'an and others so different?"

"Why does Chen Zhuoxin insist on having Princess Yangxu and Hong Xianglin give birth to a child with Pu Lian and royal blood?"

"In the past, many people must have tried to use "Pu Lian" or similar witchcraft on the royal family, but without exception, they all failed."

"That's because they don't know that not all people with royal blood are qualified to break the "blood curse"."

"Your Highness Prince Xu, you have been busy for so long, and you seem to treat everyone as your chess piece, but have you ever thought that maybe you are also a chess piece?"

Ever since he could remember, Ji Yin had vaguely sensed from the tones and expressions of his grandmother, mother, aunt and others that he was different from his eldest cousin Li Mi and Li Fangling.

Let’s not talk about Li Mi for now, after all, there are differences between men and women.

However, Li Fangling had always been free and lively, with no distractions. However, the way her grandmother looked at herself and Li Fangling was completely different.

When he was young, at the Duke Li’s Mansion, his grandmother clearly valued Ji Yin more than Li Fangling.

This was also one of the reasons why Wang later disliked Ji Yin. She always thought that the old lady must have secretly given Ji Yin a lot of good things!

Wang was born into a noble family, so ordinary things were naturally not something she cared about.

Then, what the old lady of the Duke of Li secretly gave to Ji Yin was certainly not some vulgar thing. It might be something like a "red-lettered iron certificate" or a "golden medal of immunity from death"!

Under Wang's instruction or instigation, Li Fangling did not pay much attention to the illness of Duke Li and his son. After all, Wang told her,

"Fang Ling, you don't have to worry. Even if your grandfather and father can't cure you, it won't affect your status as the eldest daughter of the Duke of Li's Mansion! What's more, you are the granddaughter of the Grand Secretary, and your aunt is the Princess of a County! You will always be one of the most noble young ladies in the capital!"

Li Fangling didn't care much about the war between Li's army and Beiliao. After all, Wang told her that she would never marry a general of Li's army in the future.

Wang wanted to choose a young scholar like her grandfather.
Not to mention that after Duke Li and his son fell ill, the Thunder Warrior was in despair as if the sky was falling, which would not move Li Fangling at all.

But Ji Yin is different.

When she was very young, Ji Yin had a vague feeling that someone was always secretly observing her, whether she was at the Duke of Li's mansion or going out for social events with her grandmother or mother.

This situation became more obvious after my grandmother passed away.

When he was very young, Ji Yin could sense the calculation and covetousness in the eyes of others.

But at that time, she didn't understand much, she just felt uncomfortable.

Ji Yin later gradually realized that not all of these people were bad people, and not all of them wanted to harm her, but that was all.

These people, under the banner of doing good for her, can fight each other and be incompatible with each other.

But no one asked Ji Yin about her mood and thoughts, as if she just went to Huai'an Marquis Mansion.

Just like in her previous life, she entered the palace in a daze.

Prince Xu's panic-stricken appearance today reminded Ji Yin of the time when he was tortured by Concubine Jiao in Fuyuan Palace.

She didn't sympathize with King Xu, but suddenly an idea came to her mind: King Xu, could it be the "bigger" version of herself?

I vaguely recall the whispers of Concubine Lu in her previous life.

"Your Majesty! I have tried my best! I will do my best to protect the Great Zhou!"

"Prince Xu, you have also failed! I don't know whether I should be happy or sad!"

"He Rui is also of royal blood! Why can't I?"

Ji Yun looked at King Xu and said slowly,

"Special royal blood, special Gu, a master with superb skills in refining Gu, the blood of Duke Li, and the special blood of several other dukes' descendants. All these factors are indispensable to break the blood curse that plagues the royal family."

"By some strange coincidence, Yin'er became the only person in the Duke of Li's mansion who could help with the blood curse."

"And you, King Xu, after living with the Gu for many years, may have become the one in the royal family who can help the most in lifting the blood curse!"

Ji Yun paused, with a hint of pity in his eyes.

"I think that you and Yin'er are both chess pieces. Why should chess pieces make things difficult for other chess pieces?"

King Xu's expression changed again and again, confused, lonely, sad, desperate, angry...

Suddenly, a terrible thought popped into King Xu's mind.

Could it be possible that the prince’s disappearance was not an accident?

But, a - bureau?
