The fake prince was exposed at the beginning, and I took office as emperor on the spot

Chapter 17: Heartbreak (Two in One)

The moment Gu Fangchen fell down, the veil covering Princess Prajna's face also fell back to its original state, and she became hazy like mist again.

Because of the outbreak of the poison in his heart and the palm strike from Princess Prajna, Gu Fangchen could only hold on for a brief moment before he fainted.

——Although that palm strike was not fatal, with Gu Fangchen's current small body, he would probably faint even if hit by an ordinary person.

Princess Prajna had a cold face, put her hands on her eyes, and remained silent.

The attendant Xiyin came forward, looked at Gu Fangchen lying on the ground, then looked at his own saint, and asked respectfully in a low voice:

"Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't last more than an incense stick like this."

The implication is, of course, to ask, to save or not?
Princess Prajna had a blank expression on her face, but her chest rose and fell noticeably.

If possible, she certainly didn't want to save this guy.

I had heard before that the Prince of Zhenbei was a dandy playboy who spent all his time in brothels and prostitutes. It was only because the princess didn't allow it, otherwise he would have kept seventy or eighty concubines at home.

But tonight, Gu Fangchen suddenly predicted her movements and came to visit her, making her mistakenly believe that this fake prince might have an unknown side.

Who knew that after just a few words, this guy's true colors were revealed!

This guy is simply a shameless scoundrel who is taking advantage of every opportunity!
Princess Prajna really wanted to fulfill Gu Fangchen's wish and let him truly experience what it means to die under the peony flowers.

however……

The most hateful thing is that, as Gu Fangchen said, she really can't let him die.

The whereabouts of the holy relic is of great importance, and she will not miss any clues.

Especially Gu Fangchen, even when his consciousness was controlled, he was able to say that finding the whereabouts of the holy object was a very simple matter.

This means that he is indeed very confident and knows exactly the whereabouts of the holy relic.

It is not easy to get Xu Fu to take action. This female imperial teacher has a strange temper and no desires. It is likely that no agreement will be reached on this trip.

What's more, Gu Fangchen himself is the obstacle that hinders their communication with Xu Fu.

"……save."

There was a hint of gnashing of teeth in Princess Prajna's words.

"Yes."

Waiter Xiyin lowered his head, walked to Gu Fangchen, squatted on one knee, untied his cloak, revealing his slender body covered with bandages, and reached out to hug him.

She murmured in an ancient language, the bandages wrapped around her body seeping out a layer of blood that almost had the texture of rotten mud, slowly forming countless profound and obscure scriptures.

Waiter Xiyin and Gu Fangchen's torn chests were pressed tightly together.

Gu Fangchen's bloody wound healed at an extremely fast speed, and a similar dent appeared on the chest bandage of waiter Xiyin, with blood constantly gushing out.

But the blood was immediately absorbed when it touched the bandage.

In the end, all of Gu Fangchen's injuries healed and he returned to normal.

Waiter Xiyin raised his head, took a breath, his eyes slightly red, and his golden lotus pupils showed a dazed look.

When Gu Fangchen woke up and saw this scene, he was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but sigh.

The Tara sect, a sect that considers torture enjoyment, is indeed still so perverted...

Waiter Xiyin lowered his head and nodded when he saw that he had woken up. Then he took a step back and put on his cloak again.

Only then did Gu Fangchen realize it.

The Tara teachings on transferring wounds require skin-to-skin contact.

In the game, this didn't seem like much, but in reality, didn't it mean that he and the Xiyin waiter were just hugging each other with only a thin layer of bandage between them?
The Xiyin attendants specialize in serving the saints, and they all seem to be pious and pure virgins...

For them, their bodies have been dedicated to the Buddha Mother, and their souls are destined to enter the paradise.

The act of rescuing is entirely a test bestowed by the Buddha Mother.

But for Gu Fangchen, he did care a little.

Gu Fangchen coughed dryly, quickly got up and said:

"Thank you, girl."

Waiter Xiyin put on his cloak, took two steps back, and said coldly: "This is what the princess meant."

Gu Fangchen smiled, not caring about her attitude, and just said:

"If you're concerned about the scars on your body, I have the formula for the Jade Refining Pills here."

If he remembered correctly, he had just seen a peach blossom embroidered on the inside of the cloak of this Xiyin waiter. He should be the one named "Qing Jian" among the three Xiyin waiters.

Qing Jian's personal side quest is to have players find the lost formula of Yu Lian Wan to repair the scars on their bodies.

Many players are also looking forward to seeing what this Xiyin waiter looks like.

However, in the end, Qing Jian died in the sea of fire along with Princess Prajna, and the players' hopes were dashed.

The maid with golden lotus eyes was suddenly stunned when she heard this, and looked at Gu Fangchen with her pupils trembling.

Princess Prajna smiled with a fake smile and said lightly:

"I didn't expect that the Prince of Zhenbei would be so romantic that he wouldn't even let my maid go."

When Qing Jian heard this, he lowered his head again.

It was obvious that Princess Prajna did not want Gu Fangchen to get close to her maid.

Gu Fangchen: “…”

I was just unhappy about being trapped in an illusion and said a few words to you. Is there any need to be so sarcastic?
He took a deep breath, turned his head, smiled and spread his hands:

"Hey, what did I just say? You have to beg me not to die."

"Look, isn't this fulfilled?"

Princess Prajna sneered:
"Don't pretend?"

Gu Fangchen shook his head:
"What do I have to pretend?"

Princess Prajna paced around him and said slowly:

"You've been pretending to be a dandy for nineteen years. Could it be that you've become addicted to it and dared to speak rudely to me?"

"I think this is your true nature. Extremely rebellious, arrogant, and fearless..."

Gu Fangchen grinned but did not deny it.

In fact, none of these are his characteristics...it's just that if he doesn't use the tiger skin, it will be much more difficult to deal with these people.

Princess Prajna said so much now, simply because—

She found that she had no way to deal with Gu Fangchen.

In fact, it was Gu Fangchen who originally came to the Tara Sect for help, asking them to help solve his physical problems.

But in that case, the chips in Gu Fangchen's hand would be of no value at all.

In the eyes of these people, Gu Fangchen's status is really too low.

For them, if they found that he was easy to control, such an exchange would not even be considered a transaction, but pure oppression.

In this way, Gu Fangchen was too passive.

Therefore, he had to conceal his needs as much as possible.

He actually used this as an excuse to talk to Princess Prajna about something.

He has other purposes.

For example, now, Princess Prajna suddenly discovered that this madman didn’t care about his own life at all, let alone the poison in his body?

Furthermore, he has no Dantian and no meridians, yet he can out of thin air produce the ninth level of divine cultivation and forcibly break the illusion.

Who still thinks he is a waste?

Then, she would not think that this was a condition that could be used to control Gu Fangchen.

No matter what, this game is still a victory for Gu Fangchen.

Although it was a bit embarrassing for Gu Fangchen to ask Tara to teach him how to remove the poison.

However, gaining an advantage from the outset is more important for long-term development.

This is the experience Gu Fangchen gained from passing the level countless times.

However, since I have already gotten involved in the Mother Church's search for the holy relics.

Why not just... take the holy object? The Lotus in the Womb is one of the most advanced items for level reset.

Not only can you refresh points, but you can also refresh the best holy bodies. If you use it in the early stage, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Gu Fangchen thought about it and felt that it seemed feasible...

As for the poison in the body, there is another way.

That is to say, instead of removing the toxins from the body, they are refined into magical weapons.

Although it is a bit troublesome, if it can be done, we can create an absolutely powerful and invincible artifact.

Princess Prajna didn't know that the guy opposite her had already set his sights on her sacred object. She said calmly:

"Tell me, what is your purpose?"

Gu Fangchen was silent for a while before speaking slowly.

"You are not qualified to know my purpose."

Princess Prajna's face darkened again.

Since the other party thinks he has a rebellious character.

Then show her how rebellious you are.

Gu Fangchen then picked up the shelf, crossed his arms, and sneered:
"I'm very dissatisfied with your attitude just now. Using an illusion array on me is also overestimating your own abilities."

"Originally, I came to the White Horse Temple to tell you directly the whereabouts of the holy relic, but now, I feel the need to observe further."

"You'll have to find it yourself until I feel better."

Princess Prajna's chest heaved violently again. Since she became a saint, she had never been treated like this before.

Even the emperor had to bathe and burn incense when he came to see her, and he was very serious and respectful.

How dare this guy be so arrogant!

But the more Gu Fangchen spoke like this, the more hesitant Princess Prajna became, and she felt that one of her guesses might be right.

Gu Fangchen didn't look like someone had suddenly possessed him, nor did he look like he had been enduring it for years.

Instead, it seems more like a reincarnation, with some important purpose to accomplish, so he suddenly took action.

If this is the case, there is a very reasonable explanation.

"Tan Yuan"!
Those who come from Tan Yuan will join the game in troubled times and then end the disputes.

This is so similar to Gu Fangchen's performance...

If that's the case, Gu Fangchen's current tone is very normal.

Because he is most likely the reincarnation of some old monster.

Princess Prajna's heart sank.

These old monsters are indeed very unruly.

And now, she had offended the other party, and the whereabouts of the holy relic that was once within her reach was suddenly out of reach...

hateful.

If she didn't have the holy object, how would she resurrect that person...

As for getting her to give in to this guy, that is absolutely impossible!

Princess Prajna had a blank expression on her face. Suddenly, she thought of Gu Fangchen's attitude towards her maid just now. She took a deep breath and said:

"Qing Jian, send the prince down the mountain and take good care of our prince. Don't let him suffer any loss. Got it?"

Qing Jian was stunned:
"Princess……"

Princess Prajna had already turned and left, lifting the curtain and walking in. Only her voice could be heard:
"From today on, you will be His Highness the Crown Prince's maid."

"……Yes."

Qing Jian respectfully watched Princess Prajna leave, then turned and looked at the young man next to him.

"His Royal Highness."

Gu Fangchen blinked:

"Just call me Master."

"Yes, son."

Qing Jian paused, raised his head and looked at Gu Fangchen's torn clothes, and said:
"Sir, please change your clothes."

……

When the sky was just getting light.

Ding Xingfeng finally waited for Gu Fangchen to come down the mountain.

A young man in a white robe walked down the mountain road. There was a little dew on his clothes, but his body was spotless. His face, a handsome and noble man, was calm.

Overall, it has a rather cool and unrestrained demeanor.

Ding Xingfeng immediately noticed that Gu Fangchen had changed his clothes.

Then, his gaze shifted to behind Gu Fangchen, where a maid in a black cloak was following him silently.

For a moment, Ding Xingfeng thought he was dazzled.

He watched the two people walk towards him with an expressionless face, and finally confirmed that this guy was not Xiyin, the waiter beside Princess Prajna.

Why is he following Gu Fangchen so closely? It definitely doesn't look like he is escorting a prisoner, but... following his master.

Gu Fangchen waved his hand:

"Come on, Master, come home with me. I still have to offer you tea."

Ding Xingfeng glanced at the golden-eyed maid who was following him.

Gu Fangchen said carelessly:
"Well, Princess Prajna saw that I was about to be kicked out of the palace and was all alone, so she took pity on me and gave me one of her maids, promising to take care of me."

Ding Xingfeng: “…”

This guy is really weird.

After entering the White Horse Temple, the attendant Xiyin became his maid.

"Okay, let's go then."

Ding Xingfeng snorted coldly:
"Gu Yuye must be getting impatient."

He stretched out his hand, grabbed Gu Fangchen by the collar, and turned into a long rainbow and flew towards Huangtian City.

Qing Jian followed closely behind.

……

In the palace.

Ning Caiyong still couldn't believe it, tears in his eyes, and asked:

"My Lord, why did you kill Chen'er?!"

"Although Chen'er is naughty, I raised him myself. It's fine if you don't like him, but are you going to disregard my wishes?"

"He was just confused for a moment..."

Gu Yuye's face darkened and he shouted coldly:

"A woman's view!"

"Gossip can melt gold. This little bastard has done so many dirty things in the past three years, relying on the reputation of the palace!"

"Now it seems that he clearly planned this all along and conspired with the Demon Cult to destroy the reputation of our Zhenbei Palace and arouse Your Majesty's suspicion."

"Cai Yong, since he already knew your life story, aren't you afraid that for three years, a man who is not your bloodline, with evil intentions, has been so close to you?"

Ning Caiyong was stunned at first, then her face turned pale in disbelief and her body swayed.

What Gu Yuye said was really heartbreaking!
It was as if she was meeting her partner for the first time. She never knew he could be so cruel.

As soon as Gu Yuye said this, he knew he had lost his composure.

He shouldn't have said that, but he didn't want to see Ning Caiyong stubbornly refuse to change, so he could only be ruthless...

Forget it, I'll just coax her after this is over.
