Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 410: Saving Lives, The Posthumous Child!

Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Saving Lives, The Posthumous Child!

"Weren’t you going to call Imperial Censor Su? This isn’t your first time in the Imperial Palace, how could you be lost?"

The guard appeared impatient but had accepted a favor, so he had to give some face.

"I don’t know either, I just can’t find her, what should I do?"

Yang Zhuoya was panicking, looking agitated.

"Alright, alright, this is the Imperial Palace, theoretically you shouldn’t let people in casually, we’ve already bent the rules for you and can’t help you find her anymore. We’ll tell your maid when she comes out."

This was already quite accommodating, seeing that she was a family member of an official and had provided a favor; otherwise, others wouldn’t have spoken so kindly.

Yang Zhuoya thought that Long Yue only needed her to bring her inside, and she didn’t need to worry further, so she took one last look at the Imperial Palace and departed.

The atmosphere in the Imperial Palace today was peculiar, solemn and tense, Long Yue walked along the palace paths and saw several palace maids whispering as they passed.

Under normal circumstances, she could have asked what was happening, but not today; doing so would be too obvious and attract attention.

Li Qingmu had drawn a detailed map of the palace grounds, and Long Yue remembered it when she left. She made her way confidently to the outside of a duty room.

This was the room of Captain Li Yao of the Imperial Army.

Long Yue opened her hand, and in her palm was a bee, but this bee didn’t sting—it was a specialized Poisonous Bee used to detect poisonous insects.

This Poisonous Bee was given by Duanmu Nan, specifically to see who was being controlled!

As expected, when she arrived outside the duty room, the Poisonous Bee began buzzing loudly, signaling to Long Yue that someone inside was afflicted by poisonous insects!

Long Yue took out a bamboo tube and sprayed a small amount of numbing agent. When she heard a series of stumbling sounds, she entered.

"Who... who are you..."

This Left Captain, indeed worthy of his rank, possessed high martial arts skills; even after inhaling the numbing agent, he hadn’t completely fainted.

But that’s where it ended; the numbing agent was potent, and after a brief struggle, he collapsed to the ground.

Long Yue followed the same procedure, making a small incision on his meridian, then shook a small porcelain bottle over it. In less than a quarter of an hour, a pale worm crawled out. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Meanwhile, Long Yue was heating a Silver Needle with candle fire. Seeing the worm emerge, she swiftly stabbed it.

"Hiss!"

The worm was instantly killed!

Afterward, Long Yue used another porcelain bottle and had him smell it under his nose, and Li Yao woke up.

Upon seeing Long Yue, his first instinct was to subdue her, but his body was weak and he did not move immediately. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Long Yue said, "You’ve been controlled!"

Just one sentence made Li Yao’s eyes widen in shock, unable to move!

"Look at the wound on your hand and the thing on that Silver Needle."

Long Yue only needed to give a hint; there was no need for excess words.

Sure enough, when he saw his wound and the slowly darkening worm, Li Yao’s face turned increasingly grim, and his body began to tremble.

After a while, he regained his composure and quickly bowed to Long Yue in thanks: "Thank you, young lady, for saving me."

These military generals often followed Qi Yun in campaigns and had exceptional insight. Moreover, Li Yao had once accompanied Qi Yun in exterminating Chen Country, knowing there were many unknown evils there.

Upon seeing the black worm, he realized he had been hit.

He relaxed a bit, reducing vigilance towards Long Yue, but didn’t entirely drop it—this was his inherent instinct as a military general.

Long Yue said, "Someone wants to control you, aiming to overthrow the Dazhou Dynasty. Now, General Cao and Prince Lingjiang are attacking from outside; they won’t take long to break in. You should understand what to do!"

She couldn’t speak too clearly, but fortunately, Li Yao was talented and quickly comprehended.

"Coordinate inside and outside—I understand!"

After saying this, he felt his back turn cold. When his consciousness returned, the actions he took while controlled were still memorable—his first thought was to rush into Qianlong Palace to rescue the Emperor.

But because it was Long Yue who saved him, he needed to thank her first, which she did by enlightening him.

She didn’t speak directly, but instead indirectly communicated, giving him full face.

Li Yao was full of gratitude.

Long Yue nodded and was about to leave when Li Yao suddenly asked, "What about the others?"

This man was indeed astute, knowing that capturing the Central Palace couldn’t occur with just controlling him alone.

Long Yue replied, "I will rescue them one by one."

"Do you need my help?"

Li Yao was very respectful to Long Yue, understanding that someone who could break the control of poisonous insects and knew of imperial plans must hold an extraordinary status and position—he surely stood a level below.

Long Yue said, "Thank you, Captain Li, but it’s not necessary to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Li Yao felt embarrassed and ashamed, realizing he nearly made a simple mistake. He looked at Long Yue, pondering that she was only a woman in her twenties, yet her mind was so meticulous—truly someone to admire!

He bowed once more: "Thank you, young lady, for saving me!"

"Captain Li is too kind."

Long Yue departed and went to other duty rooms, following the same method to sedate and then save people.

The sedation was not out of fear of discovery but to prevent the insects within from transmitting information to the mother insect.

However, Long Yue didn’t lift the control of poisonous insects on everyone; she left two people as it was essential for someone to receive orders from the other side.

Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, those two received instructions.

"There are rebels in the Emperor’s sleeping quarters, let’s go capture them!"

Li Yao and several other commanders exchanged a glance and, with mutual understanding, shouted together, rushing towards Qianlong Palace.

At this moment, Qianlong Palace was deathly silent—no, the mood was silent because everyone felt despair.

Several Princes were restrained, the Emperor was currently in a state of confusion, and these men in black surrounded the sleeping quarters—outside must also be their people...

What to do? What can be done?

"Clang, clang, clang..."

At this time, the sound of colliding metal came from outside, making everyone wonder if reinforcements had arrived?

Indeed, upon seeing Pei Jinheng rushing in, Pei Shangqing was filled with joy, his eyes brimming with tears: "Jinheng? Good child, have you come to rescue the Emperor? Good, good, quick, grab all these men in black!"

Pei Shangqing was highly enthusiastic, but his expression changed as he continued speaking.

Because he noticed his son, Pei Jinheng, standing coldly with his arms folded, showing no sign of closeness.

He was bewildered and looked at him in confusion.

"Jinheng, why... why are you still standing there? Quick, catch them all!"

He didn’t realize that his voice was slightly trembling, and the thought had already sprouted in his mind, though he dared not think nor believe it.

Until a graceful figure appeared behind Pei Jinheng, then everything became clear!

"Ah, my dear father, you probably don’t know, right? Jinheng... he’s the posthumous child of the late Crown Prince Chu of Chen Country!"

Just one sentence left everyone in the hall feeling as if struck by lightning, frozen in place!
