Chapter 278 As long as I am in danger, he will appear
"Zhou Buyan!" Chu Xingchen looked for it again, but there was no sign of Zhou Buyan anywhere in the vast white snow.
The guard still remembered someone, but the patrol camp saw no one at all.
But even the guards could not see his face clearly. In order to avoid causing greater turmoil, Chu Xingchen did not continue to look for Zhou Buyan nearby and returned to the palace first.
Shen Cangzhu, Xiao Wang and Ling Zhou had already noticed the abnormality and were relieved to see her return safely. Before they could greet her, they heard Chu Xingchen say excitedly before they could say anything.
"I saw Zhou Buyan was gone and he was still alive."
Chu Xingchen's face was red from the cold, but the most attractive thing was her eyes. Her eyes were shining, as if a fire had been rekindled and started to shine again.
After hearing the news of Zhou Buyan's death, her eyes became bottomless, as if she had changed into a different person. It was only at this moment that Shen Cangzhu and the others saw their former highness.
They desperately wanted Chu Xingchen to come back, but what she said was that Zhou Buyan was back.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, are you sure? Have you seen his face? If he is not dead, why didn't he come back together?"
Although Lingzhou was confused, he was happy when he heard it and asked hurriedly.
Chu Xingchen paused, "I originally wanted to ask him to come back with us, but he disappeared for some reason."
Speaking of this, Chu Xingchen remembered what happened before. If Zhou Buyan hadn't died, then the person that night might have been Zhou Buyan. She was not dreaming.
If he hadn't left, she would definitely ask.
Lingzhou was surprised: "Does he still not know that you have become the queen? Are you afraid that you will be killed by the Supreme Emperor? Don't you recognize him?"
Chu Xingchen pursed his lips, "I haven't had time to tell him yet."
Xiao Wang frowned, fearing that Chu Xingchen would be disappointed in the future, so he asked aloud, "Your Majesty, are you sure he is Mr. Zhou? It was still dark just now, did you see his face clearly? He was not pretending to be someone, right?"
Xiao Wang had to conspire that the Queen had killed Zhou Buyan, and Chu Xingchen had been looking for news about Zhou Buyan. Although it had not been made public, well-informed people would definitely know.
Maybe someone knew how important Zhou Buyan was to Chu Xingchen, so maybe he deliberately found someone to pretend to be him.
Xiao Wang reminded her tactfully, and Chu Xingchen's brows wrinkled as expected. She didn't see Zhou Buyan's face, but she was sure it was Zhou Buyan. She felt that the smell was of him, and even the waist belonged to Zhou Buyan.
"It must be him. There's no way I can't tell the difference between him and the pretender."
It was impossible for her to admit the wrong person, "Zhou Buyan must have left because of something."
"But, he will definitely come back. When I am in danger...he will still appear."
Just like this time.
When Xiao Wang and the others heard what Chu Xingchen said, they knew that Chu Xingchen had not seen Zhou Buyan's face at all. This may be because Chu Xingchen really couldn't accept Zhou Buyan's death, so he hoped that it would be him.
Shen Cangzhu and Ling Zhou also felt this and fell silent for a moment.
Chu Xingchen didn't notice the abnormality in the atmosphere and was still happy, "I have to get him back. I want to publish a missing person notice in the Da Chu Newspaper."
Dachu Newspaper had opened a corner earlier where missing persons notices could be posted. Chu Xingchen thought for a moment and directly wrote down the contents of the missing persons notice.
"Peaches and plums are silent, I look forward to your return in the starry night."
She originally wanted to write directly "Stars are looking forward to returning", but she was afraid of being seen by others, so she temporarily changed it to Starry Night.
Chu Xingchen gave the content of the missing persons notice directly to Shen Cangzhu. After receiving it, Shen Cangzhu didn't say much, only that the latest issue would be released.
Then he asked, "Why did your Majesty go out alone? Is there something wrong?"
"Yeah, it's still too dangerous to go out alone." Xiao Wang answered.
Judging from what Chu Xingchen said, Zhou Buyan would show up if she was in danger. Although I believed she would not deliberately put herself in danger, she still had to avoid it.
Xiao Wang's words made Chu Xingchen calm down.
They said it wasn't Zhou Buyan, but she trusted her instincts and there were indeed more important things at the moment.
"I didn't go there by myself. I seemed to be controlled."
Suddenly I woke up. I was on the city wall. It was obviously the place I feared the most and I would never go, but I went there anyway. I even climbed up, staggered, and fell down when I woke up.
If it weren't for Zhou Buyan, she would have died.
His death was unclear.
"Someone is controlling me and wants to kill me."
Chu Xingchen told about his abnormality, and Xiao Wang and others flashed a thought in their minds at the same time - Gu, the Gu of Wu.
Chu Xingchen herself also thought about it. As a princess, she naturally knew about this world, not only in Chu, but also in Qi, Wu, Beidi and Xirong.
Among them, what impressed Chu Xingchen most about the Wu Kingdom was that they were always able to make many strange medicines, including both poisons and good medicines.
Their clothing traditions are different from those of Qi and Wu. They have their own style, somewhat similar to that of ethnic minorities.
The Wu Kingdom is the most mysterious in the world right now. They have a special geographical location and steep mountain peaks. They have the natural advantage of one man being able to block the way and not being able to get through, so ordinary people cannot attack it.
Even if you are lucky enough to go there, you will be lost in the miasma of their jungle. Except for the Wu people themselves, basically they will never return.
Compared with Qi State and Chu State, Wu State lives in a corner and rarely gets involved with them. Generally, they will not take the initiative to attack, but they cannot be ignored, let alone bullied at will. Otherwise, they will be the ones who suffer.
The Wu Kingdom also has a legendary thing that Chu Xingchen has only heard of - Gu, and it is real.
Gu is very dangerous and can kill people invisible. Fortunately, they are not easy to obtain. They are only inherited by some families in the Wu Kingdom. They are difficult to cultivate and will not spread.
Occasionally, poisons may appear in the Wu and Qi states, but not many. Whether it is the Qi state or the Chu royal family, they usually strictly guard against the appearance of these things.
But Chu Xingchen seemed to have been tricked.
Chu Xingchen didn't understand the principle of Gu. It was probably a poisonous insect that could control nerves and people's thoughts.
Being controlled by someone, who knows what they will do, is undoubtedly the most dangerous thing.
"Hurry up and call the imperial physician, Imperial Physician Li." Xiao Wangshu shouted, feeling terrified in his heart.
Since Wu State has voodoo, Dachu must be prepared. Some doctors also have research on voodoo. Doctor Li in the palace is good at this aspect.
Dr. Li applied the acupuncture, and the silver needle was placed on the neck where acupuncture is usually not done. After about ten minutes, the silver needle was removed.
After just one glance, Doctor Li broke into a cold sweat and said, "The silver needle is black. As expected, Your Majesty has been poisoned."
The Queen had previously said that the Princess was crazy and asked him to go see if the Princess was possessed by a love spell. He was unable to see the Princess at that time, but when he saw the Princess again, the Princess had become the new Queen.
Even though he is so immortal, Chu Xingchen really has a poison in his body.
"What Gu? Love Gu?" Love Gu is the most famous, and Lingzhou knew about it, so he immediately asked nervously.
