Rebirth of the Superpower Queen

Chapter 168 The Death of the Gu King

"Is this nothing? You scared me, don't you know?" Meng Zhiling wanted to say, "Do you know that you are not sick, but have been poisoned by a poison?" But she couldn't tell her, that would be too cruel.

So she could only hold back her tears and say that she scared herself.

"Okay, isn't it all right? Go and call Ming Yi for me, I have something to say to him." Mingzhu turned her face away, not looking at Meng Zhiling's eyes that wanted to cry but had no tears, nor did she want to let the decision she had made be abandoned halfway because of reluctance.

Meng Zhiling pursed her lips, nodded, and left the room.

"Are you awake?" When Ming Yi came over, he saw the thin Mingzhu sitting by the window. Her tranquil look and the transcendent temperament that seemed to have seen through the world were heart-warming, but also made people feel distressed.

Looking at her who was as beautiful as a painting, he didn't want to disturb her peace, but he had been in for a long time and Mingzhu didn't show any intention of greeting him, so he had to break the silence in the room first.

"Well, you're here, come and sit down." Mingzhu turned her head slowly, pretending not to see the worry and heartache in his eyes.

She doesn't need these now. What she needs is to prevent those who she cares about and who care about her from worrying and being sad.

"Are you okay?" Although Ming Yi had heard that her illness was not ordinary, he did not know as much as Meng Zhiling and the others.

Mingzhu smiled faintly after hearing this, "I thought you also knew about my physical condition, but it seems that you are not very clear. However, I know my own body very well, even better than Zhiling and the others."

"What happened?" Ming Yi frowned, and it seemed that the murderous intent and coldness of the past were gone, only deep worry was in his eyes.

"It's a poisonous insect that can devour people's hearts. It will only become stronger and stronger in my body and will not die because of any external force. Of course, when I die, the insect will die naturally. If it becomes strong enough to devour my heart completely one day, then I will hurt any one of you, and none of you will be willing to kill me. This is their purpose." Mingzhu raised her eyebrows. Although she was talking about such a perverted thing, she was still elegant, generous, and calm.

Ming Yi became more and more angry as he listened, and the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more serious, but now he couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on, so he could only clench his fists tightly.

"So you want to find the dumbest way to solve it yourself? Because you're afraid of hurting us?" Ming Yi asked excitedly, his voice full of rebuke.

"It's not the method I thought of, but it's my only method now, the only solution. But don't worry, I won't choose death, because I can't bear to leave you, and I can't bear to leave Zhiling. I asked you to come here just to ask for your help." Mingzhu smiled faintly. She was a person who had seen through life and death a long time ago. Life and death had been placed in front of her so many times, so she had the calm temperament she has now.

"I won't help you in any way. The only thing I can do is to help you find a way to detoxify. You should have a good rest." After Ming Yi finished speaking, he stood up. Without waiting for Mingzhu to speak again, he was already outside the door. Once the door was closed, Mingzhu and her unspoken request were trapped inside the room.

On the other side, Butler Qiao received a phone call with a very ugly expression on his face. He kept wandering at the door of the temporary laboratory. Finally, he couldn't wait any longer and simply pushed the door open and walked in.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Surong was listening to Shen Bin's explanation. Seeing the bad look on Butler Qiao's face, his heart sank and he asked immediately.

Butler Qiao leaned close to Qiao Surong's ear and whispered a few words. Even Shen Bin, who was standing very close to him, didn't hear a word. Qiao Surong's face changed drastically, and he rushed out without even saying hello.

"What's wrong?" Even when Meng Zhiling came over, he didn't have time to pay attention to her, but just passed her by.

Meng Zhiling could only pull the housekeeper Qiao who was walking behind her and asked nervously.

"Miss, the Gu King has been found!" Butler Qiao did not hide anything from her, but he just kept half of the story secret.

"Where is it?" Meng Zhiling excitedly pulled the hand of Butler Qiao. No wonder Qiao Surong looked so anxious just now. It turned out to be because of this matter.

"It's just outside the yard." Butler Qiao was not as anxious as Qiao Surong. After all, he was the first to know about it.

"Then why are you still standing there? Catch that brat quickly. I want to see who gave him the courage to plot against me." Meng Zhiling angrily rushed outside. She had already made up her mind that the moment she saw Nangong Shuo, she would beat him up. Even though they didn't have much friendship, she had helped him a little, and this guy was so ungrateful.

However, what she could not have expected was that when she walked to the door and saw Nangong Shuo, she didn't need to beat him at all, because he was already dead. His pale face and stiff body made it obvious that he did not die after coming here, but was placed here after death.

"How could this happen? How could this happen? No, I must be dreaming, I must be dreaming!" Meng Zhiling looked around and felt that all this was an illusion. She let out a loud roar, stretched out her hand, and a burst of energy was released, which directly knocked down a big tree outside the door.

With a loud bang, the big tree fell to the ground, and Qiao Surong hurried forward to hug Meng Zhiling, who was almost in despair.

"Calm down, Mengmeng, we still have other ways. Auntie will be fine." Qiao Surong hugged Meng Zhiling tightly. Even though Meng Zhiling was so sad that she could only open her mouth and bite Qiao Surong's shoulder, he didn't frown at all, because he understood her feelings.

I know how painful it is for her to feel helpless.

Back then, he witnessed his mother taking her last breath with her own eyes, her hand even tightly holding his own, but he was powerless to save her. He felt as helpless and desperate as she was now.

"Yes, yes, there must be other ways, there must be." Meng Zhiling responded to Qiao Surong, and at the same time it was more like hypnotizing herself.

"Butler, help me find out who killed Nangong Shuo and who placed the body here on purpose." Meng Zhiling finally wiped the tears from her face and said coldly while looking at the cold body on the ground.

"Yes, I'll check it out right away." The housekeeper answered respectfully. After all, they all knew that Meng Zhiling's orders were Qiao Surong's orders. Even Qiao Surong obeyed her, so how could their subordinates not obey her? This was also something Qiao Surong had already warned them about.

Even if she didn't give the order, they would investigate on their own. It was obvious that someone was deliberately provoking them. It was not known whether they were deliberately provoking the Ming family or Meng Zhiling alone.

Or maybe it was a provocation to Qiao Surong.

"Clean this place up and don't let me see such dirty things again. Also, Wu Jinling, you can go see the real King of Hell." Qiao Surong also turned around and said lightly to the King of Hell and the others.

Meng Zhiling was stunned for a moment. She wanted to meet Wu Jinling, but finally felt that it was unnecessary. In short, the war between Meng Fan and her had never stopped. Although they had never had a direct contact since that time when both of them were injured, the entanglement between the two had never stopped.

The clue of Nangong Shuo has been completely cut off. Now we can only place all our hopes on Shen Bin. However, Shen Bin also said that his greatest effort is to make the interval between the onset of the poison longer, but he cannot really eradicate it.

"Su Rong, I want to find a place to quiet down. You go back and have a good rest first. Mingyi is taking care of it here." In fact, after Mingyi left Mingzhu's room, he did not leave. He just waited outside quietly and protected her quietly.

Qiao Surong held her little face, gently kissed her forehead, rubbed her thumb, and said reluctantly: "If there is any situation, notify me immediately, I will come right away."

"Yeah." Meng Zhiling nodded with emotion. She was very glad that this time, Qiao Surong had been standing by her side. If it weren't for him, she would have felt that the sky above her head had collapsed long ago, and she would have been suffocated by the pressure.

Meng Zhiling returned to her room. Whenever she had something on her mind or a problem, she would come to the space. This was her paradise.

"You finally show up!" Meng Zhiling had just laid down on the lawn and was still wondering why Jinque didn't come to cheer and welcome her first when a deep male voice rang out, and she jumped up from the lawn in fright.

"Phantom, why are you here?" Meng Zhiling seemed to be so frightened that her memory was blacked out. She completely forgot that she had sent Phantom here for recuperation not long ago.

"Am I losing my memory or are you?" Phantom folded his arms leisurely across his chest and looked at her with amusement.

Meng Zhiling frowned and didn't bother to pay attention to him. Indeed, when she asked that question just now, she had already remembered the whole story. It's just that there have been too many things happening recently, so she actually forgot that there was a person who was recovering from injuries here. If she hadn't come in to calm down today, she didn't know how long the phantom would have been trapped by her.

"If you don't show up, I will destroy this beautiful place of yours." Phantom glared at her. Although he was grateful that she saved him, he still had complaints about this disguised imprisonment.

Yes, this is indeed imprisonment for him. He wants to go out and face his strong opponent, but now he is trapped here. No matter how many ways he thinks of, he can't get out. If this is not imprisonment, what is it?

Every day there is an annoying little bird chirping in his ear. If Meng Zhiling doesn't show up again, he feels like he is going crazy.

"Just try it. If you dare to destroy this place, I can save you, but I can also destroy you at the same time." Meng Zhiling was in a bad mood, so naturally she spoke in a very good tone. She had no intention of joking with anyone.

Of course, Phantom didn't look like he was joking at all.

"Where's Goldfinch?" Meng Zhiling looked around and finally fixed her eyes on Phantom. It was as if she was asking if anything had happened to her.
