《The Cruel Tyrant》122

"Mind Dizzying Fragrance, what is that?" Su Mu asked in puzzlement.
"A kind of mind drug that can mess up people's memory and control people's minds. It has been lost for many years." Huang Xuan looked at Su Mu with some panic.
If His Highness forgot him——!
A sense of suffocation overcame him, and Huang Xuan's heart throbbed painfully.
A nerve type drug?
Su Mu frowned and said in a serious tone: "Except for the necessary work, have everyone in the imperial medical college stop what they are doing at the moment to study the antidote of the Mind Dizzying Fragrance. Anyone who needs my cooperation can come at any time."
After Liu Xi and Huang Xuan left, Su Mu tried to check his own memory, and then he found that the memory related to Su Mochi had begun to blur.
At this rate, it was very likely that he would wake up early tomorrow morning and all his memories would be erased.
With a "bang", an exquisite ceramic brush holder was shattered into powder in Su Mu's hands.
Su Mu was a little uneasy. He called at the door: "Shi Nuo."
A valiantly handsome young man wearing soft armor walked in and stood in front of Su Mu. He said respectfully: "Paying respects to Your Highness."
A cold light flashed in Su Mu's eyes, "Strengthen guards around the Crown Prince's Hall. From now on, I won't be seeing anyone."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Soon after Shi Nuo walked out of the study, there were the sounds of many footsteps outside the door, blocking off the place where Su Mu was located. But for some reason Su Mu still felt uneasy.
The night was like a greedy behemoth, swallowing the whole world into the belly of darkness, and uttering gurgling sounds.
In the prison dungeons, the battered and barely breathing Zheng Jiu suddenly opened his eyes, his light golden eyes shining with a strange brilliance. At the same time, Su Mu, who was sleeping on the big bed in his palace, also opened his eyes and lifted the quilt. He dressed and walked out of the bedroom.
The guards at the door saw Su Mu and immediately knelt on one knee, "Paying respects to Your Highness."

Without a trace of expression on his face, Su Mu passed them and disappeared at the door of the palace in the blink of an eye.
The old eunuch who was on vigil with the guards felt that something was wrong. His Highness always cherished sleep time, because he had no free time to rest during the day.
Ahem, the only exception being when he had someone over for shiqin.
The old eunuch's heart trembled and he said to the guards at the entrance of the palace: "Hurry up and report the matter to Lord Shi Nuo, as well as the several Gongzi and the Crown Prince's Consort."
The old eunuch was someone who had been following at Su Mu's side in recent years and he still possessed some weight in his words. The several guards glanced at each other and immediately ran in all directions.
In the prison dungeons, Su Mu walked up to the cell where Zheng Jiu was detained without saying a word. He gently stretched out his hand, and the iron cord on the cell door broke and fell to the ground.
Zheng Jiu's face was as white as paper, and his hands and feet also twitched uncontrollably. He turned around with difficulty and looked at Su Mu who entered the cell. With a rough voice like sandpaper, he said: "Take me to the southern part of the imperial city."
There was no expression on Su Mu's face, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes. He bent down and picked up Zheng Jiu, without any care for Zheng Jiu's injuries.
"Ah....." Zheng Jiu suddenly called out after having his wounds being touched.
At this moment, Su Mu's eyes suddenly burst with a sharp light, and the entire cell was instantly filled with killing intent.
Zheng Jiu, with his whole body hair standing upright, immediately stabilized his mind and controlled Su Mu to calm down, the killing intent silently dissipating. Only then did Zheng Jiu feel the cold sweat on his forehead.
In the Qing Kingdom, Su Mu had absolute authority. He blatantly walked out of the dungeons with a person in his arms, and no one stopped him.

Soon after Su Mu disappeared at the entrance of the prison dungeon, a tall man with a cold aura all over his body appeared at the same place. Even in the dark, his presence was so strong that it caused people to sense the extreme danger emanating from him.
The prison guards felt that the blood in their whole bodies seemed to be frozen over, and tremblingly did not dare to look directly at the man exuding cold killing intent.
"Where is the Crown Prince?" Gu Yunzhou's cold voice sounded in the guards' ears.
"That.....that way....." A guard bowed his head and toughened his scalp, stretching out his slightly trembling arm to point out the direction for Gu Yunzhou.
The pressure that seemed like a mountain disappeared in an instant. But the guard hadn't even had time to react when he felt himself severely grasped by the lapels of his chest.
Liu Xi's magnified beautiful face appeared in the guard's eyes, "Where is the Crown prince!"
"There.....over there....." The guard who was impacted by the beauty at close range said in a daze.
Without saying a word, Liu Xi let go of the prison guard and led the imperial guards he had brought to the southern part of the city.
Huang Xuan subconsciously followed behind, but was stopped by Yun Feiyu who suddenly stretched out his hand.
"Brother Yun!?" Huang Xuan looked at Yun Feiyu anxiously.
Yun Feiyu ignored Huang Xuan's confusion, but asked the prison guard: "Has Gu Yunzhou been here?"
The guard immediately replied: "He followed over as well."
After getting the news that the Crown Prince had taken Zheng Jiu and disappeared, the voice of Yun Feiyu, who had always been calm and steady, sounded a bit strange this time, "You go to the imperial medical college to develop an antidote for the Mind Dizzying Fragrance as soon as possible."
"But His Highness....." The person was already gone. Huang Xuan was not in the mood to develop an antidote.
Yun Feiyu looked at Huang Xuan and said solemnly: "You can't do anything after you go, listen to me, I will definitely get His Highness back!"
Indeed, he was just a doctor who had no martial arts at all. If he had learned martial arts at the beginning.....Huang Xuan gritted his teeth and went back to the imperial medical college immediately.
Yun Feiyu quickly summoned Lin Siyuan and Yun Feiyan.
"What! The Crown Prince is gone!!!" Lin Siyuan looked at Yun Feiyu's solemn face and exclaimed, "What do you mean? What do you mean by missing? Is it because of another man?"
The last time the Crown Prince went to Jinglin to snatch a groom was now known to everyone in the Qing Kingdom! Lin Siyuan's worries were not about the Crown Prince's safety, but about the other throwing a pile of work to them again.
In the eyes of Lin Siyuan and most people in the Qing Kingdom, it was already a good thing if the Crown Prince did not bring danger to others.
But looking at Yun Feiyu's expression, it didn't seem to be the case this time.
Yun Feiyan, who had been silent for a long time, saw the turbulence hidden by Yun Feiyu's calm expression, and felt a little uneasy in her heart. She asked Yun Feiyu, "Brother, what happened?"

Yun Feiyu told them about the abnormality of the Crown Prince today and the news that Zheng Jiu was taken away by the Crown Prince.
Lin Siyuan looked at the ground and pondered: "The situation of the Crown Prince has become more and more stable in the past two years. Basically if there is no stimulation, the Crown Prince would not lose his mind."
Yun Feiyan nodded thoughtfully and said: "Just having been secretly calculated and administered such a drug, His Highness should not lose his mind. There must be other reasons."
Yun Feiyu nodded and said: "Zheng Jiu is just an unfavored prince of the Zheng Kingdom. He was given as a gift and the army of the Qing Kingdom is still stationed on the border of the Zheng Kingdom. The Emperor of Zheng should not have the daring to make a move against the Crown Prince."

Blood? My wrist was covered in it. It wasn't dried up or reeked of the combination of that black gunk from all those other freaks. It was fresh and warm too. Where was it coming from? I checked my body. My t-shirt was splattered in everyone else's blood but my own. Turning over my hand, my eyes lowered to where Ray was holding onto me. I gasped and released him, covering my mouth to stop from screaming. "Holy shit dude! What happened to your-?!" Tears were forming in his eyes but he looked down and hid his hand from me. "Please d-don't worry about it. Let's just go find a real hospital already." He said while shaking. "I...I don't want to think about it right now O-okay?
