Chapter 630: Chapter 630: Life and Death Gu

’But... what method did Xiao Lansi use to fake the signs of her own death?’

’To even stop her breathing and heartbeat temporarily, making it indistinguishable from real death?’

Ye Chutang’s eyes narrowed slightly as countless theories surfaced in her mind.

This Princess Yuhe appeared simple and timid on the surface, but in reality, she was full of tricks. To pull off something so deceptive... she was truly no simple character.

After a moment of silence, a thought suddenly struck Ye Chutang, and her lashes fluttered.

’Could it be—’

Xiao Wu looked at her curiously.

Ye Chutang said abruptly, ”We’re going to the Qinyang County Princess Mansion.”

...

Hearing that Ye Chutang had arrived with Xiao Wu, Princess Qingyang came out to greet them personally.

As soon as they were inside, Princess Qingyang shut the door, turned, and asked with poorly concealed urgency, ”Chutang, how is it? Is there any news from Long City?”

Ye Chutang shook her head gently. ”Not yet.”

Princess Qingyang lowered her head in disappointment and murmured, ”Right... I’m being too impatient. How could there be a reply in such a short time...”

”Commandery Princess, no news is good news.”

Ye Chutang truly didn’t know the situation over there, but she had always trusted the people she chose.

So now, all they needed to do was wait patiently.

”Considering the time, the imperial edict summoning King Yan Nan back to the capital should have already reached Long City. I expect we’ll have a result in the next day or two.”

Whether King Yan Nan was alive or dead, those people had to give an explanation!

Princess Qingyang slowly let out a breath. ”You’re right. We’ll just have to wait a little longer.”

Her mood calmed slightly, and only then did she recall that it was rather strange for Ye Chutang to visit at this time.

”Weren’t you supposed to be at the palace today, attending to His Majesty? Did you... come straight here right after leaving the palace?”

Ye Chutang nodded. ”I came today because there’s something I’d like to ask you, Commandery Princess.”

”Ask me?”

Princess Qingyang’s eyes widened as she pointed at herself, her face a mask of disbelief.

”You must be joking, right? What could I possibly teach you?”

In her eyes, Ye Chutang was practically omnipotent; there was nothing she couldn’t do.

Princess Qingyang truly felt unworthy of being ”consulted.”

Ye Chutang deliberated for a moment. ”I remember, Commandery Princess, you once mentioned to me that some from Nanhu are skilled in the Gu Technique.”

Princess Qingyang paused, then nodded instinctively. ”I did! But don’t you know about that too?”

After all, Ye Chutang had been the one to discover the poisonous insects in those Southern Hu Blade Men!

”I’ve only heard a little about it in passing. I don’t know the specifics,” Ye Chutang said.

Princess Qingyang couldn’t help but say, ”By that logic, almost no one in the world could claim to understand them...”

’When it came to performing an autopsy on the spot and picking out Gu Worms to kill them, how many people could possibly compare to her?’

’Only someone as habitually modest as Ye Chutang would say something like that...’

However, seeing Ye Chutang’s earnest expression, Princess Qingyang didn’t dally and began to think seriously.

”Actually, as I mentioned last time, the ones who are truly skilled in this technique are just a handful...”

”Among them, is there anyone who can create a poisonous insect that fakes death?”

”What?”

Princess Qingyang froze.

Ye Chutang explained, ”It makes a person appear as if they’re truly dead—their pulse and breathing both vanish, but their life is actually not in danger—”

”That kind of...”

Princess Qingyang frowned in thought, gently stroking her chin.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and looked at Ye Chutang with hesitation.

”I do know of one person who knows that kind of Gu Technique.”

Ye Chutang’s heart skipped a beat.

”Who?”
