With her spatial ability to raise beast husbands, the wicked female becomes the darling of the group

Chapter 271 Strange Cold
The Empress looked shocked upon hearing this. "You mean Gu?"

The Queen almost doubted that she had heard correctly.

The concept of Gu is not unfamiliar, but it has been a long time since I've heard of or seen it.

As a member of the royal family, she had to learn some ancient history and ancient books from a young age. She naturally knew that Gu worms were something unique to the ancient Wu tribe. In the earliest times, the Wu tribe beastmen could communicate with the beast god, and the Gu worms they cultivated were medicinal Gu worms that could be used to cure diseases and save lives, as well as to solve plagues.

But later, for some unknown reason, the Gu worms gradually became something terrifying to people, and some evil witch beastmen could use them to do many things.

For example, killing people silently, or turning orcs into puppets, etc.

Later, the Witch Clan was destroyed, along with all its secret techniques and Gu worms.

Su Muyao nodded. "Yes."

"Grandmother, your vital energy and bodily functions have been depleted by the Gu worms. As long as the Gu worms are removed and you take good care of yourself, you will be fine."

Su Muyao spoke these words earnestly.

Although the Empress seemed momentarily dazed, she did not doubt Su Muyao's words.

She doubted no one but her beloved granddaughter.

"No wonder I've always felt weak, drowsy, and dizzy, and even the imperial physicians couldn't find anything wrong with me."

"Actually, your grandfather fed me a precious pill that made me immune to all poisons. These people probably knew that poisoning was useless, so they used a Gu poison instead."

"Even if I know how to cure the condition, I still want to reserve this position for you. Only you can take this position."

She never considered anyone else.

"Grandma knows that Grandma is selfish for putting you in this position, but Grandma doesn't know what else she can give you."

She didn't know how to be good to her granddaughter; this was the best thing she could give her.

"Moreover, it was your grandfather who helped me to take this position. For the sake of all the people of the Dongning Beast Kingdom, I cannot let someone else take this position. That would be irresponsible to the people."

Su Muyao could feel her grandmother's love and care for her, and she didn't want to go against her grandmother's wishes. "But Grandmother, I want to enjoy more of my free life."

"So I need to make sure my grandmother is in good health. With her in this position, I feel protected and can do what I want."

"Grandmother, please ask the Moon Clan to come and remove the Gu worm from you as soon as possible."

The Empress sighed and said, "Very well, if that's the case, I'll arrange for someone to invite the Moon Clan here."

She was also worried about leaving like that. It would be best to eliminate all threats and dangers before giving the position to her granddaughter, so that she could sit securely without any threats or dangers.

Although the grandmother and granddaughter had just recognized each other, the closeness between them was innate. They talked intimately and had a lot to say to each other.

Su Muyao then realized that the four members of the Chu family were not close to her grandmother, and that they each had their own factions behind them, representing the interests of various parties.

The Empress also knew that only the closest people could use Gu poison, so she had to investigate the harem and many beastmen.

Just as the grandfather and grandson were having a private conversation, a servant announced from outside the palace gate, "Your Majesty, the Jiang family head requests an audience."

The Empress looked at Su Muyao and said, "If you don't want to see him, then don't. Tell him to come another day."

Su Muyao thought about Jiang Mochuan and Liu Mengyan's affair and guessed that the Jiang family head might know about it.

"It's alright, Grandmother, please let him in."

"Let's see what he has to say."

As she spoke, Su Muyao automatically went downstairs and sat down. Her relationship with her grandmother was not something that others should know about at the moment.

……

Soon, the Jiang family head entered the palace.

He already knew that Su Muyao had been made a princess, and he also knew that Su Muyao was in the palace. He came here on purpose.

The Jiang family head knelt down and bowed, frankly explaining his purpose: "Your Majesty, I have learned that Princess is in the palace, and I have come here specifically to request an audience with her."

Su Muyao asked, "I wonder what brings Patriarch Jiang to see me?" Patriarch Jiang felt a pang of nostalgia. Su Muyao used to call him Uncle Jiang, and the two families used to have a very good relationship.

But Jiang Mochuan ruined them all.

The Jiang family head was heartbroken but helpless. Jiang Mochuan had given up on the perfectly good Su Muyao and instead fell for Liu Mengyan.

As the saying goes, flies don't land on eggs without cracks. Ultimately, the problem lies with Mo Chuan; he lacks self-control.

"Today, Mo Chuan returned home and suddenly collapsed. I only learned some things from his subordinates. It was Mo Chuan's fault back then, and I, as his father, have to swallow my pride and apologize to Her Highness the Princess..."

The Jiang family head briefly explained the matter and sincerely apologized, showing a very sincere attitude.

“Mo Chuan is possessed by an evil spirit, just as Your Highness said yesterday. However, I implore Your Highness to tell us more of the facts so that we can make preparations.”

Su Muyao thought about many things and realized that there were some things she had to take care of.

"Patriarch Jiang, you flatter me. Since Patriarch Jiang wants to know more, I will tell you the truth."

"There are some things we shouldn't let Miss Liu know, as it might alert her."

"Moreover, the Jiang family head also knows that Young Master Jiang despises me. If I say something, he definitely won't believe me. Instead, he'll think I'm the one who harmed Liu Mengyan."

The Jiang family head's heart skipped a beat; as expected, there were things he didn't know.

Upon hearing Su Muyao's words, his face paled, and he felt an urge to beat Jiang Mochuan up. He said seriously, "Your Highness, rest assured, I know what to do."

Su Muyao then explained, "The current Liu Mengyan is not the real Miss Liu. Miss Liu may have already been killed by her. Most of the Liu family's beastmen are kingfisher beastmen, but Liu Mengyan is actually a spider beastman. I examined Young Master Jiang's body yesterday, and his meridians were bound by many unique spider silks. Those spider silks can devour Young Master Jiang's power and life force..."

Even though the Jiang family head was somewhat prepared, he was still shocked when he heard these words, and his face changed drastically. He almost fainted from shock.

Spider-orc?

That falls under the category of insectoid beastmen.

They are all a type of orc who are cold, vicious, and ruthless.

In the Beast Kingdom of Dongning, he had never heard of such beastmen before, nor had he ever seen them.

Legend has it that these orcs were sealed away somewhere long ago, but unexpectedly, some have reappeared.

Even the Jiang family head felt like vomiting, so one can only imagine how disgusted Jiang Mochuan would be if he knew about this.

……

When Su Muyao came out of the palace, the north wind was howling and snowflakes were falling from the sky.

Even though Su Muyao possessed supernatural abilities, she still felt a chill.

"It wasn't this cold when we entered the palace. It's only past noon, and the sky is already overcast with such heavy snow and strong winds."

Su Muyao lifted the carriage curtain and found that the snowflakes were very large.

Su Muyao murmured that the weather seemed a bit unusual.

Even in the North, there aren't snowflakes this big.

Beast King City is located in the south, so it shouldn't be this cold even during the snow season.

Even some parts of the ground looked like they were covered in a layer of ice.

The system suddenly spoke up: "Host, this is bad. This may be the snow-covered weather that is said to occur in the Beast World."

"If it continues to snow like this, the weather will be extremely cold, and the snow will freeze everything for miles around. Countless orcs will die in the snow-covered weather."

"So we need to prepare early."

"This is the effect caused by a series of abnormal changes in the beast world."
