Just as Su Mingyu turned around to leave, Tang Yan grabbed her. "You're not going anywhere."
"What do you want to do this time? The rest is your business with Gu Ruobai. Why do you have to drag me into it?" Su Mingyu's tone was already a bit impatient.
"Miss Su, do you still remember the medicine I gave you before that could suppress your inner strength?" Tang Yan asked with a smile.
A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Su Mingyu's heart. "What do you mean?"
Tang Yan smiled. "Because of your special identity, even Qingming has little effect on you. So I poisoned you again. It was made from the Glazed Light Illusion Flower. Actually, it doesn't have much effect. It just makes you fall into illusions from time to time. For example, right now, don't you think the palace in front of you looks very shaky? The door is like a big mouth, pouncing towards you."
Su Mingyu looked at the main hall in front of her in surprise. It was gradually changing as Tang Yan had described. Su Mingyu's heart sank. She forced herself to steady her body against a pillar, then looked at Tang Yan and said word by word, "You're really ruthless!"
Tang Yan hooked his lips with a smile. "Not as ruthless as you!"
"What do you want me to do?" Su Mingyu's complexion was getting worse and worse. The scene in front of her was getting more and more blurred. The resplendent palace seemed to be about to jump up, bringing great pressure to Su Mingyu.
"I just like talking to smart people." Tang Yan raised his eyebrows. "Actually, it's nothing. I just want to know if what Gu Ruobai said is true. What if he just found a scapegoat to take the blame? Then all my hatred over the years would be in vain. So I must know the truth."
Tang Yan's eyes were very determined.
Seeing this, Su Mingyu could only nod. "Do you want me to go back to Gu Ruobai's side and be your eyes and ears?"
Tang Yan nodded. "That's right."
Su Mingyu snorted. "Why do you think Gu Ruobai will still trust me? It was me who betrayed his factory."
"Because of this." Tang Yan's eyes suddenly became extremely fierce. He grabbed Su Mingyu's hand and, before she could react, pushed her backward.
Su Mingyu, who already felt insecure, only felt a blur in front of her eyes. The huge Golden Palace seemed to be biting towards her.
Su Mingyu gritted her teeth tightly and barely managed to control herself from screaming.
Suddenly, she was caught by a warm embrace from behind. Based on Su Mingyu's understanding of Gu Ruobai, she knew who it was without even looking.
While secretly breathing a sigh of relief in her heart, Su Mingyu suddenly hugged her head tightly like a crazy person and babbled incoherently, "Don't come here! Don't eat me! No! No!"
Gu Ruobai's face darkened. With a glance, the guards beside him surrounded Tang Yan tightly. "What did you do to her!"
Tang Yan smiled faintly. "His Highness King Ruixian is really affectionate. Even though Su Mingyu has treated you like this, you still care about her so much."
"I'm asking you, what did you do to her!" Gu Ruobai's face became even more gloomy. His pair of pitch-black eyes seemed to be dripping water.
On one side, Su Mingyu felt dizzy in front of her eyes and nauseous in her heart. But she still pretended to be crazy and hugged her head, crying and shouting, "Don't come here! Don't come here! Don't eat me!"
Looking at Su Mingyu like this, Gu Ruobai's face turned iron-green with heartache. "Tang Yan, this is a matter between the two of us. Why do you have to involve Su Mingyu? She is innocent!"
"Innocent?" Tang Yan sneered. "Then how innocent were my family members? Gu Ruobai, anyway, my whole family died because of you. Before you find that traitor, your beloved woman will keep suffering like this. I also want you to taste the pain I felt back then!"
"You!" Gu Ruobai's eyes were cold and the anger in them was extremely terrifying.
But the next second, Gu Ruobai suppressed his anger. He looked at Tang Yan and asked softly word by word, "What did you use on her?"
Seeing that Gu Ruobai had given in, Tang Yan's complexion improved a bit. "You should know about the Glazed Light Illusion Flower. There is no antidote for this kind of flower, but its effects can be alleviated. However, I added a special medicinal material when making the poison. If you want to detoxify her, you'd better look carefully. Otherwise, it will make her condition even worse."
After saying that, Tang Yan sneered and turned to leave. But before leaving, he bent down 'kindly' and whispered in Su Mingyu's ear, "Someone is here to pick you up. It's just a palace. You don't have to be so scared."
Tang Yan's words seemed to have a magic spell. Almost the moment he finished speaking, Su Mingyu felt that the palace in front of her stopped shaking, and even the buzzing in her ears disappeared.
She looked at Tang Yan in surprise, with a look of confusion in her pair of delicate eyes.
But Tang Yan only gave her a meaningful look and then turned to leave.
Seeing that the people around had left, Su Mingyu propped herself up and stood up. She covered her forehead, looking a bit painful.
Gu Ruobai quickly stepped forward and asked, "How are you? Are you okay?"
Su Mingyu let out a long breath. Her voice was a bit weak. "I... don't feel very well."
Although part of what she did just now was pretended, part of it was really out of fear.
The Golden Palace was like a huge monster. When it opened its blood-red mouth and pounced towards her, Su Mingyu's instinct told her to dodge.
But her feet and hands were too weak to move, so she could only watch helplessly, feeling anxious and helpless. That sense of powerlessness was really uncomfortable.
"What exactly is this Glazed Light Illusion Flower?" Su Mingyu asked suspiciously.
Gu Ruobai, with a rather solemn face, helped her into the carriage. Then he reached out and felt her pulse. "The Glazed Light Illusion Flower is a poisonous flower that can cause people to have illusions. Exactly how it is made or how to use it to control others is unknown in the martial world. The only thing known is that this flower can make people obey orders."
As Gu Ruobai said, his face sank to the bottom. "How did you feel just now?"
"Even you don't know?" Su Mingyu sighed silently. "I didn't feel good at all just now."
Then, Su Mingyu told Gu Ruobai about the illusion she had just experienced, then bit her lower lip. "I suspect this poison must be related to Tang Yan. I only had a reaction after he said those words."
Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "Do you know about psychological suggestion?"
