Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 1561 Heartbreaking

Being pointed at and scolded, Old Lady Shang was so angry that she trembled all over, her face was gloomy and ugly, "I was just curious about the rumors about Phoenix Gu, so I spent my entire life studying Phoenix Gu, and I don't believe in immortality."

If she believed that Phoenix Gu could make people immortal, why would she reveal the secret recipe and hide it from her husband and family?

"My husband is from a family of imperial physicians. His medical skills are much better than yours. If I believed in immortality, I would have convinced him to study Phoenix Gu with me a long time ago. Why would I hide it from him?"

"The emperor and the empress believed in immortality because they were already at the pinnacle of power. In order to control this power for a long time, they made stupid mistakes."

"If it weren't for their brilliant plan, how could you and your wife have the chance to appear in front of me? I'm afraid you would have been killed by them as soon as you arrived in the capital."

As she spoke quickly to this point, Mrs. Shang looked very puzzled, as if she was despising Wan Shufang's short-sightedness.

"Such a simple truth, can't you really understand it?"

She glanced at Wan Shufang and cast her sharp eyes on Chen Changli.

Seeing that he frowned slightly, as if thinking about what he said, Old Lady Shang sneered.

"Since you know about the Xintian Society and Chang Xuewei, you should know how deeply the Xintian Society hides and how cunning Chang Xuewei is?"

"I don't know how Old Man Xia and Chang Xuewei joined forces, and I don't know why she targeted me."

"But the deep hatred I carry is indeed related to them. I want to see the Phoenix Gu with my own eyes, and I want to use it to lure them out."

"When I heard the news of Old Man Xia's death, I was both happy and confused. After all, I hated him to the core and thought about taking revenge myself day and night."

"But it's a good thing that he's dead, because I can concentrate on dealing with Chang Xuewei without having to worry about old man Xia, who knows me well, getting in the way."

Old Mrs. Shang didn't even take a breath before she started explaining a lot.

Her explanation made Wan Shufang and Chen Changli look cold, but Liu Ying and Ye Yun were willing to cooperate with her and let the matter go.

"My aunt is from the Gu tribe, not Dajing. What's wrong with her harming some people for her research on Phoenix Gu? Humph, those people are incompetent, so they deserved to die."

"Even the emperor of Dajing doesn't take the lives of ordinary people seriously, how can you say that about my aunt?"

Liu Ying showed contempt on her face, but the tone of her words was full of arrogance.

"Wan Shufang, don't pretend to be kind here. If the emperor ordered you to study Phoenix Gu, I don't believe you can do it without getting stained with human blood."

As soon as Liu Ying said this, Wan Shufang's face suddenly turned dark and ugly.

She raised her voice and said, "If the old emperor really dares to do this, I will encourage the other princes to rebel and seize his throne."

Seeing disbelief written all over Liu Ying's face, Wan Shufang wanted to express her attitude, but then she changed her mind and felt that wasting time arguing with her would be self-deprecating.

She snorted at Liu Ying, "You are a remnant of the previous dynasty, and you wish for the destruction of Dajing. That's why you would rather speculate that I am a pedantic and cowardly person than believe what I say."

"Besides, people like you are very self-centered. If I talk nonsense with you, won't I look stupid?"

Wan Shufang rolled her eyes at her rudely and said nothing more, just staring at Chen Changli worriedly.

She understood Chen Changli's current difficulties and was worried that when Old Lady Shang was forced into a desperate situation, she would actually test out that the Phoenix Gu was not in Chen Changli's body.

"Let's put an end to the feud between you two and stop arguing." Wen Baicao found it funny to see both sides looking down on each other.

Liu Ying's tone was very sarcastic: "We are not arguing, we are just stating the facts."

Chen Changli immediately glanced at her and saw that her eyes were wandering, as if she had some estrangement towards Old Lady Shang in her heart, but she lied on the surface for the possible benefits that Old Lady Shang might give.

After seeing the change in her eyes, Chen Changli knew what was going on, and all kinds of ideas popped up in his mind.

However, it was clear that Old Lady Shang was hiding something, and the Sixth Prince helped her in every way possible.

He had no idea whether the two had reached any other agreement, because there were some things he had to keep in his heart and not let Old Lady Shang change her mind, lest he lose more than he gained.

Chen Changli thought of this and continued Wen Baicao's words, "Shopkeeper Wen is absolutely right. Old Lady Shang, don't try to explain everything. Just try to figure out the Phoenix Gu."

When Old Lady Shang stopped playing the irritating flute, he felt much better.

But seeing that Old Lady Shang was being aggressive and was trying to force them to admit that the Phoenix Gu was gone, he felt that Old Lady Shang was not sure whether her thoughts were true or false, and wanted to force them to reveal their true intentions.

"Just listen to Chen Changli." Ye Yun's heart was already biased, and naturally he didn't want to hear about Old Lady Shang's past and nonsense anymore.

Old Mrs. Shang was a shrewd person who was good at disguise. As soon as she heard what Chen Changli and Ye Yun said, she immediately knew what they were thinking.

She was very unwilling in her heart, and her face unconsciously showed a little: "Ye Yun, I am a member of the Gu tribe. No one in the world can match my Gu skills. Do you think I really can't take out the Phoenix Gu?"

Without waiting for Ye Yun to speak, she continued, "After our conversation just now, you also know what this Phoenix Gu is."

The more she spoke, the more confident she became. Old Lady Shang raised her chin and said, "It's true that Old Man Xia is my husband's junior fellow apprentice, but he can't even compare to a strand of my hair. If it weren't for me, how could he have refined the Phoenix Gu?"

Wan Shufang didn't want to attack her, but when she saw her proud attitude towards the secret recipe, she was instantly angered.

She stared coldly at Old Lady Shang, and every word she spoke seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, filled with anger and sneer.

"Do you know why Old Man Xia succeeded? Because he used the flesh and blood of the Gu people."

"I don't know how many Gu tribe members there are, but the pool of blood is enough for five Chen Changli to lie in."

"Before this, Old Man Xia and his group also used other people to refine Phoenix Gu, and the refining location was not the same."

"We have come across a blood pool in the center of the Wumeng Mountains, where countless people who were used for experiments were imprisoned."

As Old Lady Shang listened to Wan Shufang's words, her expression changed from calm at first to collapse at last.

"This is impossible." She screamed heartbreakingly.

"Where do the Gu tribe live? Don't you know it very well?" Wan Shufang's voice was extremely cold. "After the Gu tribe got into trouble, I don't believe you didn't go to check the situation."

Liu Ying burst into tears. "My mother took me back once, and the ground was covered in bright red, with a lot of blood, flesh, and bones. We had some bad guesses at the time, but we didn't dare to think too deeply. We could only hope that some of the tribe members took advantage of the chaos and left."

"But when my mother got into trouble and my father was cruel and ruthless to me, I learned from my father that the Gu tribe was completely wiped out."

"Haha, I was wondering how a legendary thing like Phoenix Gu could really appear? It turns out it's made from the flesh and blood of our Gu clan."
