Chapter 218 It seems that Prince Rong is just this important
"That depends on how much Senior Su cares about Master, and how much Senior Su wants to avenge Master."
Su Zijin had lost his patience and asked angrily, "What do you want to say?"
"Emperor An is cautious. Assassinating outside the palace is simply not feasible." Tang Mumu raised the corner of his mouth and whispered in Su Zijin's ear: "So we can only kill him in the palace, and this can only be done by me."
"I need Senior Su to help me."
Su Zijin took a step back after hearing this. He looked a little annoyed, but still asked in a deep voice, "What do you need me to do?"
"I hope Senior Su will cooperate with me in a play. There will be a palace banquet in the palace on the Lantern Festival. If I have a chance to get close to my father after entering the palace, Senior Su will not need to take risks on the day of the worship ceremony. If Emperor An is still on guard, Senior Su will suffer if I fail on the Lantern Festival."
"What exactly is your plan? How can I cooperate with you?"
"I will inform you in advance that Senior Su will be planning an assassination on the day of the worship ceremony. On the day of the worship ceremony, Senior Su will have to put on a show and surrender."
"Are you crazy?"
Su Zijin suspected that he had heard wrongly, and stared at Tang Mumu in disbelief, "I am seeking your cooperation for revenge, not to seek death. Princess Rong, are you making fun of me?"
"Senior Su, why don't you wait for me to tell you about my plan before making a decision?"
Su Zijin frowned. Tang Mumu didn't seem to be joking, so she could only say, "Then Princess, tell me your plan. If you dare to play tricks on me again, I will take your life today."
Tang Mumu sneered, "Before Emperor An dies, we can only be allies, not enemies."
Tang Mumu narrowed his eyes, and Su Zijin tilted his ear to listen.
After hearing what Tang Mumu said, Su Zijin was shocked but more suspicious. Even if she really cared about avenging Jiang Moqing, she still didn't believe that she was willing to gamble her life for revenge.
"How can I trust you?"
Tang Mumu took out a transparent round bottle from his sleeve and brought it close to Su Zijin. From the outside, one could directly see the pink and white poisonous insect wriggling in the bottle.
"Is this a blood Gu? Is it a blood Gu made from Emperor An's blood? Why do you have this?" Su Zijin couldn't believe that such a pink-looking larva could be one of the three great Gu of the Southern Barbarians.
"Senior Su even knows about the Blood Gu?" Tang Mumu was somewhat surprised. Su Zijin could tell at a glance that she had planted the Word Gu on someone in the Ghost Market. At that time, she only thought that Su Zijin happened to know about the Word Gu, but she didn't expect that her master even told her about such a secret kind of Gu as the Blood Gu.
It seems that Senior Su’s status in the master’s heart is higher than she thought.
"Perhaps Master really did have feelings for Senior."
Su Zijin's expression changed when he heard this, and he quickly asked, "How did you know that?"
"Master even told you about the blood parasite. I don't believe that he really doesn't have a place for you in his heart. If Master and you have formed a relationship because of the guilt in his heart, then Master must have done it on purpose for you to know about the blood parasite."
"The blood parasite can help you kill anyone you want, even Master. I can understand that you want to marry me to atone for your sins, but Master even told you about the blood parasite. I think he really regards you as his closest person."
Su Zijin's lips trembled, and the words changed when they reached his lips, "What's the point of you saying this now? He's already dead, what's the point of his feelings for me?"
"Is the blood poison in your hand really from Emperor An? How can I trust you?"
"The skin on Emperor An's palm was broken on the cliff. When I helped him up, my hands were stained with blood from Emperor An's palm. This blood Gu was refined at that time."
Hearing this, Su Zijin suddenly sneered, "I didn't expect you to have a plan so early. It seems that your Prince Rong doesn't mean much to you."
Tang Mumu narrowed her eyes, pursed her lips, and said after a moment: "This has nothing to do with how much Prince Rong means to me. Emperor An wiped out the Nanman tribe. My master's death was ultimately caused by Emperor An's instigation behind the scenes. Both of them were wrong. My master has paid the price for what he did. Emperor An has lived in shame for so long, and it's time for him to atone for his sins."
"But how can you guarantee that you can really introduce this blood parasite into Emperor An's body? You are like me, maybe you can't even get close to Emperor An, how can you make the blood parasite recognize its master?"
"That's why I need Senior Su to cooperate with me. If Senior Su can make Emperor An bleed on the day of the sacrifice ceremony, everything will fall into place. If Senior Su not only fails to hurt Emperor An but gets himself involved, I can find a chance to make the blood parasite recognize its master after returning to the palace. Maybe I can even say a few good words for Senior Su and save his life."
Su Zijin's eyes were cold, and he stared at Tang Mumu for a long time.
"Tang Mumu, you'd better keep your word. You use yourself as the induction of the blood parasite. If Emperor An doesn't die, you will be the one to die. I want to watch you plant the blood parasite on yourself with my own eyes. If Emperor An is still alive half a month later, you will pay the price for your master's death. Even if you die, no one will pity you."
"I never need seniors to pity me."
Su Zijin choked and saw that Tang Mumu had really cut his palm with the dagger. The moment the blood flowed out, the blood insect seemed to sense the smell of blood. Even though it was trapped in the bottle, it was so excited that it wanted to break open the cork immediately.
Su Zijin watched the poisonous insect drill into Tang Mumu's palm. In just a moment, the red feather thread on her wrist had taken shape. Tang Mumu deliberately turned her wrist over so that she could see clearly.
"Senior, you should believe me now, right? If Emperor An doesn't die in half a month, I will be the one to die."
"Are you really willing to gamble with your life? If this blood parasite fails to find a real host within half a month, it will replace the host with its original host until the host's flesh and blood are worn away, and the fight will not stop until the host dies. Are you really willing to let yourself become the host of the blood parasite?"
Even though she saw her plant the blood parasite in herself with her own eyes, Su Zijin still had some doubts in her heart. She didn't believe that Tang Mumu would be willing to sacrifice her own life to avenge Jiang Moqing.
After all, she had seen in the Xiling secret prison how Tang Mumu used all means to force Jiang Moqing to hand over the antidote for the centipede poison. She even cooperated with Emperor An's men to kill Jiang Moqing. She didn't believe that Tang Mumu could have such a big change in such a short period of time.
"Senior, don't doubt me. I am not an ungrateful beast. Even though my master committed heinous crimes, he still raised and taught me. I teamed up with Emperor An to kill my master because I could still distinguish between gratitude and resentment. What my master did was extremely evil, and he deserved to die. But Emperor An was the culprit who caused my master to commit such evil deeds. Now that my master is dead, Emperor An must pay the price."
Su Zijin was surprised, and even felt for a moment that the person in front of him seemed to be glowing.
She knew everything Jiang Moqing had done. Although she did not agree with it, she never thought that Jiang Moqing was a heinous person, and she had never even thought of stopping him. When she heard what Tang Mumu said, she suddenly felt that it was not just Jiang Moqing who was wrong, but she had also been doing wrong all along.
