Demoting my wife to a concubine? After being reborn, I turned around and married into the imperial f

Granny Hua held the slip of paper, glanced at it first with a look of surprise, and then read it aloud.

"Sister, I must apologize to you. Today, I gave the order to lead the people to find Gu Changfeng. I thought they would only question him, but they were enraged and even threw filthy liquid at us. I heard that the gates of the Marquis of Ping'an's mansion are now filled with the stench of liquid, and I am deeply ashamed. I hope you are alright, sister. Otherwise, I will not be able to escape blame. Tomorrow at midnight, I will come in person to apologize to you. I wish you peace and happiness."

Chu Xunzhen blushed.

Is Your Highness truly suffering from dementia?

They brought her food and apologized, almost making her lose her mind.

Recalling the alluring beauty mark under his eye, Chu Xun's heart pounded wildly.

"Congratulations, young lady! His Highness's actions have just helped you vent your anger." Granny Hua was both delighted and excited.

She had been wondering about it for a while.

Logically speaking, the people should be besieging the Chongding Marquis's residence, so why did they come to the Ping'an Marquis's residence to look for the young master Gu?

Sure enough, there were people pushing things along from behind.

Chu Xunzhen was also shocked.

He knew that someone was fanning the flames behind the scenes, and he even guessed that the people might curse or even fight in their excitement, but he never expected that the people would throw excrement and rotten eggs.

Such an insult is something few people could withstand.

"Since the person who delivered the meal knew that excrement had been thrown at the gate, they probably haven't gone far."

Chu Xunzhen immediately stood up and walked outside the courtyard.

"Yellow Oriole, have you seen His Highness's men come in to deliver food?"

"Yes, miss. It was sent by Eunuch Anshun. He has already returned. He instructed that if you have any messages for His Highness, or if you write a letter, you can give it to me, and I will come to collect it every day."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen's cheeks suddenly flushed with heat.

It would be impolite not to reciprocate after receiving such a meal. It seems I should choose a return gift for His Highness the Ninth Prince tomorrow.

"I see."

Chu Xunzhen went back to have her meal, and in the middle of the night, she once again had Chunxi lie on her bed.

Chunxi was so anxious that tears were about to fall.

Her voice trembled with tears: "Girl, it's so late, it's dangerous outside, let's not climb over the wall and go out, okay?"

"I'm busy. Don't worry, it's okay."

Chunxi said helplessly, "Then the girl should go and come back soon. If she encounters bad people, remember to blow the whistle to contact Granny Hua."

"Don't worry. Get a good night's sleep, and when you wake up, I'll be back with your daughter."

As Chu Xunzhen spoke, he climbed out of the window.

Her large black robe fluttered in the wind, making her seem to blend into the night.

On the outskirts of Beijing.

Chu Xunzhen took out an orange-red fox mask from his sleeve and put it on.

As she stepped into the forest, miasma immediately arose, accompanied by the sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

"You naughty boy, your great-aunt is back."

Chu Xunzhen walked through the forest as if on flat ground. The miasma dispersed, as if afraid of her, and retreated.

Reaching the wide stone gate, Chu Xunzhen took out the token representing the Holy Maiden and placed it in the groove beside the gate.

The stone door slowly opened the next moment.

"Welcome back, Three Holy Maidens."

Suddenly, a unified voice rang out.

Chu Xunzhen raised an eyebrow and saw the skeleton guards standing on both sides of the road, holding long axes and shrouded in wide black robes.

Thirty skeleton guards stood on either side of the road.

Chu Xun was truly surprised.

Last time I came, there wasn't a single person there.

The Skull Guards are here this time.

Chu Xunzhen subconsciously touched the Gu Soul Bell deep inside his sleeve and walked towards the depths of the Gu Gate.

Just as she passed the main hall, she heard the sound of string and wind instruments.

As the soft, seductive music began, Chu Xunzhen instinctively looked over.

In an instant, he froze on the spot.

It's as if my worldview has been shaken.

Dozens of half-naked men stood in place, seemingly drinking, singing, and dancing, making all sorts of seductive gestures to the sound of a zither.

Beneath the red veil, the gazes of dozens of handsome men simultaneously fell upon Chu Xunzhen.

"Third Holy Maiden, you've returned."

"Oh, Third Holy Maiden, when will you call upon me?"

"Would the three holy maidens like to enjoy some caresses? My hands have pierced through the collarbones of vile women and dug out the black hearts of wicked women, but I have yet to take the head of a holy maiden and admire it closely."

Chu Xunzhen felt a chill run down his spine and immediately retreated.

Weren't these people sent out on a mission by the sect leader? How come they're back so quickly?

Only now did Chu Xunzhen truly feel a sense of rebirth.

Four or five tall, handsome men dressed in light clothing and wearing half-masks chased after them.

"Tsk tsk, Three Holy Maidens, come on."

"The three holy maidens have been gone for so long, surely they haven't even touched a man's hand?"

"Holy Maiden, open your eyes and look at me! I don't believe you, your eyes are empty." The tall, handsome man, draped in a red gauze robe, with half of his delicate shoulders exposed, his firm muscles and eight hard abs, stood directly in front of Chu Xunzhen.

Chu Xunzhen instinctively stepped back.

Who could have imagined that in just a moment, hundreds of Gu worms would be released from the hands of these beautiful men, ready to devour her bones and blood?

According to the rules of the Gu Sect, whoever can kill the other can take their place.

If Chu Xunzhen were to die here, the man who killed her would immediately become one of the Three Holy Sons.

The Holy Son and Holy Daughter wield immense power and do not need to be permanently stationed at the Gu Sect; they only need to return when the Gu Sect requires them. Gu Sect resources can be freely accessed as long as they are reported.

The protective Gu jumped out from the groove under Chu Xunzhen's mask, blocking the killing intent before him.

The alluring yet murderous man looked at Chu Xunzhen with the same eagerness one would show a lamb.

Chu Xunzhen instinctively stepped back.

Today, she only wants to return the Gu Soul Bell; she doesn't want to waste the Gu worms and fight them.

But the next moment, the back of her head slammed into a solid chest.

She instinctively reached back, trying to push the man behind her away, but accidentally brushed against his chest.

The firmness of her pectoral muscles made her heart pound.

Since he dared to lay a hand on her, she'd touch him a few more times to collect some interest.

Chu Xunzhen's right hand brushed across the man's chest again, and even pinched his chest twice.

A muffled groan was heard.

Chu Xunzhen was taken aback.

Why does that voice sound so familiar?

However, when she turned around and looked up, she saw the sect leader wearing a full-face mask, exuding a chilling aura, and with a sharp gaze.

"Does it feel good?"

The sect leader's voice was cold and sharp, and Chu Xunzhen felt as if she were a small boat tossed about in a storm.

If she doesn't answer well, she probably won't be able to leave today.

"Um..." Chu Xunzhen paused, then said, "Of course it's nice to touch. The sect leader has firm muscles, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist, so naturally it's nice to... touch."

Instantly, a violent aura emanated from his body.

Chu Xun was stunned.

not good!

My life is over.

These days, you can't even tell the truth.

However, three breaths later, all the men who had been pestering and posing for her were sent flying by the sect leader.

"Ouch, Sect Master, it hurts!"

"No, Sect Master, just look at me! Why would you like a slutty fox?"

"Waaah, Sect Leader, don't be so heartless! You said I danced really well last time, I'll be waiting for you tonight!"

Chu Xun was truly shocked. The sect leader liked them?

Does the sect leader like men?
