Chapter 123 The concubine who died young in the novel "The Emperor Takes His Minister's Wi
After a brief breakdown, Liu Chutang finally recovered.
She remained silent for a moment, then quietly took out a small box from the brocade pouch on her person.
When you open it, there's a little butterfly inside, its wings outstretched as if about to take flight.
Nan Yi's eyebrows twitched. "A tracking Gu?"
He paused for a moment, then looked at Liu Chutang with an incredulous expression and asked in a hoarse voice, "Miss, who are you tracking?"
Or rather, who exactly did you give the Butterfly Love Flower?
Liu Chutang coughed lightly, lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, and muttered, "I just did it on a whim. When we passed each other, I accidentally spilled some butterfly petals on her."
Even Liu Chutang herself didn't believe what she said.
They say that action speaks louder than words, and she never expected that she would take action before she even realized she was attracted to someone.
Although she really didn't want to admit how outrageous she was, all these facts seemed to indicate that she really was that outrageous.
Blinking frantically, Liu Chutang raised her hand and flicked the little butterfly, releasing it into the air to Nan Yi's astonishment.
She said softly, "Go, find her."
Find her, and then she'll go and take her away.
A determined glint flashed in Liu Chutang's eyes; since she had set her sights on it, it had to belong to her.
The little butterfly fluttered its wings and flew away through the window. Liu Chutang glanced back at Nan Yi and raised an eyebrow. "Let's go, let's follow them."
After a moment of embarrassment, she became more open and at ease.
Since she's done what she was supposed to do, there's no need for her to be embarrassed anymore.
Nan Yi followed her silently, inwardly grumbling to herself, "If the sect leader knew that the Holy Maiden had suddenly become a madwoman, he would regret letting her go out and explore."
Ignoring what Nan Yi was thinking, Liu Chutang followed the little butterfly all the way across the dark forest and landed gracefully at a place still quite a distance from the courtyard.
She climbed a very tall tree and looked out at the small courtyard in the distance.
It also gave them a clear view of the guards surrounding the courtyard.
Nan Yi landed as she did so, and frowned upon seeing the situation: "With so many people, I'm afraid we won't be able to snatch them."
There were only two of them; how could they possibly handle thirty or forty guards?
Liu Chutang's expression was cold, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
How come there are so many people? If there were only a few less, she could have simply thrown out a bunch of Gu worms and snatched them back.
But now...
"Damn it!" Liu Chutang couldn't help but punch the tree trunk. There were thirty or forty guards, and the Gu worms on her and Nan Yi's bodies were less than half of them.
But she was unwilling to leave so easily. After thinking for a while, she took out a tiny Gu worm from the brocade pouch at her waist.
“Eavesdropping Gu,” Liu Chutang said. “With it, I can also find out what’s happening in that courtyard.”
It doesn't matter if she can't confront them directly for now. She'll put all the useful Gu into them first. Once she knows them inside and out, that's when she'll snatch them away.
With a smile playing on her lips, Liu Chutang patted Nan Yi and handed him the eavesdropping gu, gesturing, "Your lightness skill is better than mine, so try to move forward and put the eavesdropping gu into that courtyard."
As for the tracking Gu, she naturally had to retrieve it to prevent them from moving to a different location without her knowledge.
Gu worms are too inconspicuous, especially since they don't have the function of harming people. So Nan Yi easily released the eavesdropping gu not far from the courtyard.
With Liu Chutang's control, the eavesdropping Gu slowly entered the courtyard and, after some searching, landed in the sachet on the small window.
It was too late, and Leyan had long since fallen asleep.
But she didn't sleep well that night.
It was the same familiar scene; another book appeared in front of her.
This puzzled Le Yan greatly. Didn't the books in this world already exist from the very beginning?
Why is there another one?
Looking at the book titled "A Generation of Powerful Empress," Le Yan pondered for a while, and then, with the mindset of "since I'm already here, I might as well take a look," she read the entire book.
Then she was dumbfounded.
This book is actually about Liu Chutang's story.
It can also be said to be a sequel to the book "Tyrant's Forced Love: The Spoiled Concubine Cannot Escape".
Liu Chutang in "The Empress of a Generation" is not the pitiful, delicate wife who is forcibly taken by a tyrant in the novel about a king seizing his subject's wife.
As the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang, Liu Chutang possesses the most powerful Gu techniques and the strongest ambition.
She wanted to be the one with all the power, the most powerful woman in the world.
Therefore, from the very beginning, she set her sights on the position of Empress Dowager.
She came from the southern border and, taking advantage of the kindness she showed in saving Madam Wen, fabricated a pitiful backstory and successfully married the Grand Secretary Wen Yingchen.
But Wen Yingchen didn't love her, and she didn't love Wen Yingchen either. She married Wen Yingchen only to use him as a stepping stone.
That trip to the Dry Mountain Temple, where she became the tyrant's antidote, was also something she orchestrated herself.
Having learned of the tyrant's itinerary from Wen Yingchen, he deliberately went to that ancient temple.
The aphrodisiac that the tyrant was given was actually administered by her; otherwise, how could the tyrant have been drugged in a desolate wilderness with no one to assassinate him?
The role she chose for herself was that of a concubine who was forcibly taken from her husband.
Empress, offspring, power—everything was forced upon her by the tyrant; she was just a pitiful, harmless little woman.
In the novel "The Tyrant's Beloved Consort," the story ends perfectly after the male and female protagonists have a son.
But that's not the case in the book "Quan Hou".
After having a son, Liu Chutang began to consider getting rid of the father and keeping the son.
Fortunately, the tyrant was already seriously ill and wouldn't live long, so she devised a plan that successfully caused his sudden death.
Driven by the Gu worms, before the tyrant died, he issued an edict in front of all the officials, ordering her to rule from behind a screen while holding her young son.
Therefore, she, the Empress Dowager, was not an emperor, but she was more powerful than one.
