Now, Ning Yunqing was even more certain that these people had lost their memories. It seemed that someone had done something to them.
After returning, Ning Yunqing ate and lived with these people. He found that they seemed normal on the surface, but each of them had a bright red dot on their arm, as if it were some special mark. It looked very strange.
Ning Yunqing couldn't sleep all night. He kept thinking about these things and felt extremely depressed.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, those soldiers seemed to have made an appointment. One by one, they got out of bed, lined up neatly in a row and headed towards the Prince Rui's Mansion.
Ning Yunqing immediately mingled among them, wanting to know what was going on.
When they arrived at the Prince Rui's Mansion, these people were all sent into a small, pitch - black house.
Lowering his head, Ning Yunqing stayed at the back of the crowd, trying not to attract anyone's attention.
"Are all the people here? Re - implant the Gu worms into their bodies." The cold voice of Prince Rui rang out. There was a hint of coldness and disdain between his eyebrows.
"Yes." Several servants slowly approached with something like a syringe in their hands and stabbed each soldier's arm.
Ning Yunqing opened his eyes wide and carefully observed that this was exactly where the red dot appeared.
It turned out that it was Prince Rui who had secretly poisoned the soldiers with Gu, so that he could manipulate them.
In the court, who didn't know that the Regent had a close relationship with Hua Yueye, and that the Regent would help Hua Yueye deal with the powerful officials, occasionally coming up with a few ideas? Who would have thought that behind the scenes, he would do such a thing.
Ning Yunqing felt his heart pounding. Seeing that the servant with the Gu poison was just ahead, he squinted his eyes and subconsciously took a step back. His eyes glanced out of the window. Without hesitation, Ning Yunqing took out a small pebble from his hand and shot it at the window beside him.
"What was that noise?" Hearing this, the Regent's face immediately changed. He frowned and looked towards the window sill. "Hurry up and go out to check."
"Yes." Those servants just now quickly ran out to check.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ning Yunqing quietly slipped out behind the crowd.
He ran all the way without daring to stop for a moment. The Prince Rui's Mansion was like a bottomless hell that devoured people without spitting out bones. It seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, it was already full of turmoil.
Those servants searched for a long time but found nothing. They could only return dejectedly to report.
"A bunch of useless fools!" Prince Rui snorted coldly. His face was extremely fierce, which was very different from his usual gentle and jade - like appearance. "You can't find anything. What's the use of you?"
"Please forgive us, Prince Rui!" Those servants looked at each other in dismay and nervously looked at the gloomy - faced man in front of them.
Prince Rui lowered his head and thought for a while. He tightened his fist little by little and then said, "Maybe someone saw what just happened. You guys, get rid of these soldiers. They can't be kept."
"Yes." The two of them glanced at each other, quickly nodded their heads, and dragged all those poor soldiers out.
After returning, Ning Yunqing decided to tell Hua Yueye about this, but after thinking about it, Hua Yueye and Prince Rui had a very close relationship. If he went there rashly, he would surely end up in a bad situation.
Anxiously pacing back and forth in the room, Ning Yunqing finally came up with a compromise.
Late at night, Su Qingwen was still sleeping, but for some reason, there suddenly came a sound of footsteps at the door. Usually, her sleep quality was quite good, but when she heard this, she was immediately startled awake.
"Who's there?" She shouted and quickly got out of bed. She approached the door in a panic.
However, outside the door, it returned to calm. It seemed that the footsteps just now were just an illusion.
[System: If this were a common routine in a horror movie, I hope you can go back to sleep quickly. Maybe when you open the door, you'll see something strange.]
Su Qingwen was so frightened by it that she almost went back. But she was an atheist. There were no ghosts in this world, okay?
Taking a deep breath silently, Su Qingwen blinked her eyes and quickly opened the door to see what was outside.
There were a few stars in the night sky, but they were not very bright and couldn't provide much light. It was pitch - black outside and she couldn't see anything.
"Pfft." She sneered disdainfully and waved her hand, feeling that she had really been driven to the verge of a nervous breakdown by this stupid system.
Just as she was about to go back, unexpectedly, there suddenly came a sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air. She was startled and immediately looked back. She saw an arrow flying over her head.
"Mommy!" Su Qingwen's face turned pale with fright and she immediately squatted on the ground.
[System: Honey, calm down. It seems that the arrow wasn't aimed at you.]
The system was startled by her scream. It sighed and said helplessly.
"Really?" Someone touched her chest and carefully raised her face. After taking a closer look, she found that the arrow just now had directly passed over her head and hit the door panel.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Su Qingwen stood up supporting the door. She stood on tiptoe and looked into the grass not far away, but found nothing.
She turned her gaze back to the arrow and found that there was a small envelope tied to it.
Seeing this, Su Qingwen's eyes widened in shock. She thought something serious had happened, but it turned out that someone wanted to give her some information.
She quickly took off the envelope and couldn't wait to read it.
"Prince Rui has secretly poisoned the soldiers with Gu to manipulate them. Please be careful."
It was just such a simple sentence and there was no evidence. Su Qingwen was completely at a loss and didn't know what to do at all. She frowned and held the envelope, not knowing what to do.
"What should I do now?" This time, she was really at the end of her rope and could only turn to the system for help.
[System: Host, your previous surprise gift package is gone, and you've even given your good luck to Hua Yueye. There's really no way to help you now.]
"Does that mean I can only rely on myself now?" Su Qingwen blinked her eyes hopelessly.
[System: Not necessarily. Look, this person is still willing to anonymously inform you of the news, which means he's on your side. Make good use of it and it will be helpful.]
Su Qingwen nodded. She carefully read the letter again, and then put it close to her body. Maybe it could be used as evidence in the future.
