It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 38 It is our duty as officials

in the library.

The two of them slept soundly on the recliner. Zhao Ci slept relatively quietly, but Zhu Li was still mumbling because the remaining poison was not cleaned very well.

But overall it's no big deal.

After all, the dose of poison is not large.

Gu Xiangzhu glanced at Zhao Ci's sleeping appearance and couldn't help but frown slightly, because she felt that her reaction just now was strange.

It's just that... the feeling of rescuing Zhao Ci was a little too eager, and even a little worried.

It was as if she was no longer satisfied with being a fake mother and son with Zhao Ci.

But he really wanted to accept Zhao Ci as his godson.

Because this guy is really considerate.

But she knew this was a dangerous sign.

In the Demon Cult, it is not impossible to accept a godson, and she does not reject it.

But the problem is that if Zhao Ci has nothing to do with his mission, he will accept his godson, but Zhao Ci is a factor that has a great influence on his mission.

If you place undue expectations on him, once something goes wrong with him, the impact on your mission may be fatal.

Just what if...

What if!

If there is a problem with the elixir workshop this time and I don't have the method to obtain the essence of the medicinal liquid, even if I make a lot of money in the future, even if I open the channel for the elixir, I will still be controlled by others.

of course!

There shouldn't be any problems this time.

Because Zhao Ci was under his surveillance almost the whole time, and there was no possibility of him noticing that his identity was wrong.

But what if?
If personal emotions influence your judgment.

There is no guarantee when something unexpected will happen in the future.

"call……"

Gu Xiangzhu let out a breath, took out a thick stack of account books from the bookshelf, and began to write and draw.

This time in Danfang, she moved almost all the cash flow that could be moved. It can be said that she smashed the coffin into it.

She can be sure that this time the Danfang will definitely become famous and bring greater benefits to herself.

but……

The craftsmanship of the core essence liquid is still in Zhao Ci's hands. Although according to normal development, there is a high probability that it will fall into her hands, but it has not fallen into her hands after all. This is also an important reason why she now extremely rejects personal emotions.

Behind this seemingly smooth sailing, are there other variables hidden?

But after thinking about it, she could only think of the only variable, and that was the emperor. If this craft was originally given to Zhao Ci by the emperor, then she was really being used for free.

But think about it, this scenario is almost impossible.

If the emperor had this kind of craftsmanship, he would definitely not wait until now to bring it out, let alone hand it over to Zhao Ci.

"I hope you are worrying too much!"

Gu Xiangzhu shook his head and began to sort out the mess in the ledger.

After half an hour.

Zhao Ci woke up faintly, and he was feeling a little dizzy now when he thought about the scene where the sky was shattering and the earth was shattering just now.

Damn!

I was busy frying the mushrooms and forgot to wash the knife.

That feeling is so awesome!

But before I fainted, I seemed to have fallen into a soft nest, which seemed quite comfortable. What exactly was it?
Gu Xiangzhu?
It seemed like she was eager to help herself detoxify?
She's quite a nice person.

Zhao Ci was a little embarrassed. A gentleman does not care about his heart. Not to mention what Gu Xiangzhu thought, at least he was helping him until now. On the contrary, he had made many calculations and took advantage of her several times.

He rubbed his head and sat up from the bed.

He saw Gu Xiangzhu leaning on the desk and writing furiously, with a lock of hair hanging slightly down, which could not cover up her beautiful face at all.

This picture is so beautiful.

It's a pity that there is a line of subtitles hanging on her head.

[Gu Xiangzhu’s current wish]: To take the method of extracting medicinal liquid into his own hands.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +100, Clever Seizing Talisman X1.Zhao Ci: "???"

motherfucker.

Very irritating!
Bai blamed himself.

"woke up?"

Gu Xiangzhu turned his head to the side and smiled slightly: "When you eat fungi in the future, you must remember to cook them thoroughly and clean them. You can withstand poisoning once or twice, but if you eat it more often, it will inevitably affect your spirit."

After he finished speaking, the subtitles on his head also changed.

[Gu Xiangzhu’s current wish]: I want to eat some other hometown delicacies.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +10, Taotie Talisman x10.

Hey!
Zhao Ci suddenly felt that this woman was not so hateful, at least the rewards were really generous.

He nodded: "Don't worry, concubine, the child will be careful in the future. What do you think of the fungus this time? I've eaten a lot of delicious dishes with my friend from southern Yunnan. Can I cook it for you another day?"

Gu Xiangzhu paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's fine! Thank you for your hard work. Now that Zhu Li has entered the mansion, there is nothing left for you to deal with. When Zhu Li wakes up, you can go back! Let's recuperate these days. Store your strength and wait until the Gongdan Conference to show off your skills."

"Yes!"

Zhao Ci didn't say much, he just found a book and read it while sorting out the contents of the Secret Code of Hundred Poisons in his mind.

He shuddered when he saw the introduction of the poison inside. Even though there were corresponding antidote methods, he still couldn't help but feel a chill down his back.

The poison of rotting organs will cause ulcers in the organs and suppuration of the skin and flesh. The antidote must be taken on time.

The soul-capturing poison is used to lower the poisonous insects into the spiritual platform. As long as the host disobeys the wishes of the bewitcher, the spiritual platform will be bitten crazily, making the host miserable. After several tortures, it will no longer be possible to produce disobedience. The Gu master's thoughts are like a puppet.

And the poison that corrodes the heart...

This Hundred Poisons Secret Book can be called an encyclopedia of poisons.

Vicious and cruel poisons are everywhere, and they can easily control people if they want to use them.

Zhao Ci didn't know how many people Gu Xiangzhu had used, but since she was a member of the Demon Cult and had such a large family business, I'm afraid there were not a few people who were controlled by her, right?

What a real danger!
You have to deal with it carefully.

"No! Leave some for me!"

Zhu Li suddenly woke up from her sleep and sat up suddenly.

After being confused for a while, he looked at Zhao Ci: "Where are my mushrooms? Have you finished eating?"

“I’ll ask the master to make it for you another day!”

Zhao Ci rubbed his head, took the silly girl and left.

Zhu Li quickly broke away from the loss of fungus, rolled up her sleeves and said with great ambition: "Your Highness, when will we revitalize Xiang's Alchemy House?"

Zhao Ci was a little surprised, he didn't expect her to be so active.

Although this employee often can't tell the difference between the big and the small, from the boss's point of view, this girl is still very pleasant.

He smiled: "Don't worry! I will take you back to the alchemy workshop later so that you can put your alchemy skills to use."

"it is good!"

Zhu Li nodded solemnly.

The two people walked out quickly, but they never expected that as soon as they arrived at the palace gate, they saw Eunuch Li and Zhao Yong walking in.

As a matter of fact, we met twice in one morning.

Zhao Ci was a little tired from recent affairs and didn't want to continue to quarrel with Zhao Yong. Zhao Yong seemed to be a little exhausted both physically and mentally and had no intention of saying hello.

But never thought.

Eunuch Li actually took the initiative to greet him: "His Royal Highness is here too! His Highness has been busy with business these days, and it has been a long time since he came to have dinner with His Majesty. Your Majesty is too busy talking about it!"

Zhao Ci: "..."

Just ask me to eat!
He responded with a smile: "Eunuch Li didn't tell me that I didn't even notice it. Now that I think about it, I feel really ashamed. Is your father-in-law going back to the royal study? Why don't you take me with you? Zhu Li, you go back to Dan first..."

Eunuch Li said with a smile: "Miss Li, you don't have to leave. Now that Miss Li has become the official of His Highness Tenth Highness, this Gongdan Conference will definitely show off its talents. Your Majesty is summoning the heads of the major alchemy workshops at this time to prepare for Dayu." To seek welfare in the future, Miss Li just happens to go and listen together."

When Zhu Li heard this, he was immediately in awe: "This matter is related to Dayu's national policy, and it is our duty as officials to do so."

Zhao Ci: "..."

Zhao Yong: "..."

Eunuch Li: "..."
