Chapter 1097: Chapter 1102 Miss Got Beaten (4)

The Cloud-rain Gu bug was awesome. It was said to be a strange insect living in the primitive forests of Miaojiang, golden in color, shaped like a bee, and extremely rare. Once found, a male and female pair of the bugs were confined in a box, nurtured with the pure yang essence of a man and the menstrual blood of a virgin. After ten years, the Gu would be complete.

After the Gu bugs were cultivated, a man and a woman would be locked in a secret room, and a male and female Gu bug were released. The Gu bugs, upon release, would seek their own hosts— the male bug yang in nature, the female bug yin, symbolizing the masculine and feminine. The male Gu, once it settled in a host, would certainly seek a man with strong yang energy to attach to, while the female bug would naturally choose a woman.

Once struck by the Cloud-rain Gu, the infected man and woman would fall so passionately in love that they would feel like death without each other. Regardless of beauty or ugliness, age or youth, once under the spell of this Gu, they would appear as the most desirable to each other. What was more terrifying was that the Gu was unbreakable. If one of those hit by the Gu died first, the other would not live long for much longer but would surely follow in death.

It was said that in Miaojiang, some sinister individuals used this method to trick lovers. Hunchbacked widowers married teenage girls, toothless old women married young and robust men, and both loved each other as if intoxicated, inseparably, through life and death.

Such a domineering Gu was truly an awesome tool for snatching lovers, and Nangong Yu, upon learning of its power, accepted Luo Xue’s suggestion without hesitation.

However, Luo Xue was not so kind-hearted in planning for her; she had her own idea. As long as the Empress Dowager agreed to inflict Nangong Yi with the Gu, she naturally had a way to intervene. When the time came, she would replace Tuotuo, allowing the female bug to bite herself.

As for whether Tuotuo, being deceived, could once again give Nangong Yu the Gu bug, that was beyond her consideration. Once Nangong Yi fell in love with her, she would be the Empress, second only to one person and above ten thousand. She would no longer have to face the stupid Princess’s countenance, nor would she care whether she got angry....

Nangong Yu was unaware of Luo Xue’s thoughts and was still racking her brains, earnestly thinking of ways to anger Cai Wei and to make Cai Wei punish her publicly....

The sun today was just right.

In the garden in front of Shuntian Hall, the flowers were blooming in vibrant purples and bright reds. The gentle breeze carried a pleasing fragrance that delighted the soul.

"The Empress arrives—"

Cai Wei’s phoenix palanquin stopped at the entrance of Shuntian Hall, and a young eunuch accompanying her immediately announced loudly.

The Madams who had been waiting all morning saw the Empress and all knelt down, performing the grand salute to Cai Wei.

"We greet Your Majesty the Empress, long life to the Empress for a thousand years, long, long live the Empress—"

Cai Wei’s phoenix palanquin was carried by sixteen people, with a bright yellow cap on top, each corner hanging Night Pearls, surrounded by bright yellow transparent curtains embroidered with golden phoenixes, which could be hung on both sides like bed curtains, with a pearl curtain in front. The pearls were round and full, uniform in size, making the entire palanquin luxurious and exuding the royal style in every aspect.

With the weather fine and a warm breeze blowing, it was very comfortable. Cai Wei chose not to let down the curtains, allowing everyone to see the Empress’s appearance.

"You Madams have been waiting for a while, please rise!" Cai Wei said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress—" After performing the salute, everyone stood up.

Cai Wei glanced briefly, noticing that Lady Liu of the Duke Li Guo’s family had come, wearing her Court Dress, her face kindly looking at her, accompanied not by a girl servant but by her close friend Wu Xiangyun. The wife of the Great General, Lady Wu, had also come, and so had Lady Du, the wife of the Protector-General, though she too did not bring a girl servant, but her daughter Li Ruizhu....

Among this group, one was clearly out of place with the rest; she was a young and beautiful woman, tall, dressed in the attire of a foreign tribe. When she knelt just now, while others knelt down to kowtow, she merely bent her knees slightly and got up before Cai Wei announced they could rise, even boldly looking straight at her.
