The Demon Concubine of God

The old man ate blood that contained the plague. Shen Wen's poisoning was very strange. He did not put it in the food, but on the bottom of the bowl and the lid of the soup pot. He smeared the blood of the dead on the bottom of the bowl and then sealed it tightly with glutinous rice flour. The same was true for the lid of the soup pot. The strange thing was that the old man was not from a noble family, but was more particular about being a scholar. He was particular about everything he used, and it was all for his own use, which made it easy for her to find loopholes.

When the rest of the people heard the word "epidemic", they were frightened and panicked, and they all got ready to flee.

The old man calmed down in time and said, "Even if you poisoned me with the plague, so what? I won't die for a while, but you will die." He yelled at the soldier, "Why are you still standing there? She is not infected with the plague, why don't you catch her quickly? You will die if you delay the young master's illness."

When everyone heard that they were going to lose their heads, they didn't care about anything else. They all drew their swords and rushed to capture the little girl alive with the momentum of going to the battlefield.

Shen Wen stepped back a few steps and called for a halt, "Stop... You guys are too rude. Fortunately, I have helpers." She snapped her fingers and called out "Qingque".

Everyone saw a green figure descending from the roof. This woman had strange body movements. Before everyone could react, she moved back and forth in a strange way. The ribbons in her hands had already tied them up, and they were tied up. Everyone tried to break free, but suddenly there were a bunch of snakes under their feet, staring at their lower bodies with their heads raised, as if they would bite them in the next second.

The old doctor was also frightened by the scene in front of him. He pointed at the snakes with a trembling hand and said, "All... all black-bellied snakes... one bite will kill them." But one snake could not hear him talking, turned around, retracted its neck and bit his calf fiercely. The doctor rolled his eyes and fainted.

Qingque walked up to Shen Wen and asked her how to deal with these people. Shen Wen walked up to the man with a mustache, grabbed his collar and asked, "Whose mansion are you from? Who do you want the blood cleansing pill to save?" The man with a mustache looked at Shen Wen and then at the venomous snake, stammering, "We are sent by the second master Ji from the mansion of the Duke of Shangzhu State. Our second son has a strange disease and needs the blood cleansing pill of the divine doctor Sun from the thatched cottage in Xishan to cure him."

Qingque thought of something when she heard this, and she said quickly: "I thought of it..."

"What?" Shen Wen asked.

Qingque didn't answer but walked up to the man with the mustache and asked, "How is your son now? Tell me how he got sick."

The man with a small mustache refused to say anything, as this was an embarrassing incident for his master. If he told it, he would have no chance of survival.

Shen Wen said, "Your master asked for the Blood Cleansing Pill, which has the effect of exorcising evil spirits, so your master must have been possessed by evil spirits or even cursed. This Qingque girl is best at removing curses. You saw just now that these snakes were summoned by her. You should think about it carefully. It's a rare opportunity to detoxify your master. If you don't say it, you will miss it."

After listening to Shen Wen's words, Little Mustache felt that it made sense. He thought about it again and again, gritted his teeth and decided to speak.

It turned out that the second son of the Ji family had just got married two days ago, which was supposed to be a very happy thing for a beautiful woman. But the second son did not favor the four concubines that night, but summoned two concubines to his Feihe Tower. Except for the second wife who was furious, everyone thought it was nothing. But the young man was so ferocious after just starting to have sex. He favored the two concubines, but was still unsatisfied, so he asked people to bring in two more.

"Everyone treated it as a new thing at the time, and many people paid attention to the commotion inside, which was so violent. The Second Wife felt something was wrong, so she called a doctor to check inside. Then... after a while... the concubines were carried out, and two of them had already died." The man with a mustache said this in disbelief.

Qingque was also surprised to hear this. He said to himself, "Is it that serious? No way... How many aphrodisiacs did that Second Wife give me?"

Then the man with a small mustache continued, "The next day, the Second Young Master started making trouble again in Feihe Tower. Because the Second Young Master was a skilled martial artist, neither the chief steward nor the servant could control him. It happened that the steward from the eldest master's courtyard and I were waiting outside, so we were ordered to go in and help... I saw that my Second Young Master's hair had turned gray overnight, and his face..." Unable to bear saying any more, the man with a small mustache's eyes turned red with heartache.

Qingque kicked the mustache man anxiously and said, "You didn't say anything at the critical moment... What does his face look like? Are his pupils bloodshot, his mouth red, and his cheeks blue with veins? His face is frighteningly pale, and there is sweat on his chest."

After listening to his description, the man with the mustache nodded and said, "Yes... That's right, young lady, how did you know? Not only that, my son was in great pain, holding his chest tightly, and I saw the veins in his hands were bulging. He kept asking us to let his blood out, saying that the blood was full of poison and it seemed to be burning him."

Qingque asked nervously: "Did you bleed him? What color was the blood? Was it black or red?"

The mustache boy looked at her unkindly and said dissatisfiedly: "The young master has a body worth a lot of money, how dare we bleed him?"

She actually asked whether her son's blood was black or red. Was she thinking that her son had a black heart?

Shen Wen asked Qingque: "What if the blood is black? What if it is red?"

Qingque said: "If it's red, that's easy to say, but if it's black..."

Qingque said to Shen Wen, "You sent me a message saying that this genius doctor was a subordinate of Chu Yanqiu. After I came here, I looked around the thatched cottage. Xin Xuan only set up a formation around the cottage to prevent me from entering. He did not do anything to the people or objects here, and did not find any witchcraft or poisonous insects. I guess he didn't want me to know that this old man had anything to do with Chu Yanqiu."

The man with the mustache suddenly said, "I've thought of it. My son's condition has worsened today. The imperial physician has treated him but he hasn't gotten better. When the Imperial Master came to visit me this morning, I was ordered to invite him in. As soon as I entered the room, I saw my son spit out a mouthful of blood. It was black."

Qingque nodded and said, "Chu Yanqiu has been poisoned, and it is a very vicious and disgusting poison."

"What kind of Gu?" Shen Wen asked.

Qingque was a little embarrassed to speak, she pulled Shen Wen aside and said: "The Gu is not a disgusting Gu, it's just... this Gu is called love, it's not the same as the love Gu I mentioned to you last time. Love Gu gives a person an illusion when they are in love, and makes them have sex with the beloved fantasy person. But love is not like that, it is more like a curse, it grows larvae in a person, and then parasitizes on the first person who touches it. Do you know that if love is planted on a living person, it's fine, but if it is planted on a dead person, then the person who is parasitized will be unlucky?"

Shen Wen asked: "What will happen then?"

Qingque explained with difficulty: "This... a love flower blossoms and bears fruit, it's all about love! When a man and a woman fall in love, they must get married, have children and stay together for the rest of their lives."

Shen Wen still didn't understand and said, "This is unscientific. If a living person and a dead person fall in love, they can go to the underworld to get married, have children, and live together for the rest of their lives?"

"So Chu Yanqiu is probably doomed to fail," Qingque said with a look of ashamedness on his face. Qingque felt a little ashamed for having done something to harm Chu Yanqiu.

Shen Wen wondered, "Did Chu Yanqiu dig up Xin Xuan's ancestral grave in his previous life? Why did he have to use such a cunning trick to kill him?"

Qingque listened, his face solemn, and asked: "What? Say it again?"

Shen Wen saw what she was thinking of and hurriedly repeated: "I said..."

Qingque interrupted again: "No need..."

She put her finger to her lips, lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying seriously, "You have to save this person! No! I'll go with you to save him."

Shen Wen asked her why.

She said: "Anyone Xin Xuan is trying to harm must have a huge conspiracy hidden in it. We must stop it."

Shen Wen nodded and said to Qingque, "The Blood Cleansing Pill is with the fox. I'll go ask the fox for it." Then he went to find the fox.

fox?

Isn't she just a beast? Isn't she crazy for letting a beast keep her things?

Qingque shook his head.

When Shen Wen found the fox, it was being held in the arms of a man.

The man stroked the fox's fur very gently, and the breeze blew over his shoulders, and the petals fell slowly on his shoulders. This man had black hair tied up, his skin was white and bright, and his black eyebrows were like swords. He was originally heroic, but he had a pair of affectionate black eyes, and his side profile did not hide his tenderness. Shen Wen thought that the tenderness was probably because of the pet in his arms.

He noticed someone coming and looked up...

Is it the little official from that night?
