The Demon Concubine of God

When Chu Yanqiu was five or six years old, he often traveled between the capital and Liangzhou. It was at that time that the incident happened in the palace, and he was infected with the poison of the Gu worm. Later, he was taken away by his grandfather, and no one knew that he was poisoned. Even his parents were kept in the dark. That's why on the wedding night, his mother gave him the Hehuan Powder without knowing it, which made him lose control and almost died.

When Chu Yanqiu thought of what happened back then, his blood and qi went out of control again. The feeling of his blood being burned by the poisonous fire became clearer and clearer.

Chu Yanqiu realized that he had been plotted against again when he could no longer control himself. He looked at the flowers that Yu Xinlan threw to him and said painfully, "Chihe, go and ask the Imperial Master to come over..."

Then he knelt on the ground, covered his chest and curled up into a ball.

Chi He was shocked when he saw this, and quickly ordered the guards to invite the imperial teacher who lived in the mansion.

The Imperial Master knew that Chu Yanqiu's illness was only temporarily suppressed, and he stayed at the mansion for one night just in case something unexpected happened. But it just so happened that he really found him at this time.

National Master Yi Dao came in a hurry and immediately took a look at Chu Yanqiu's condition. His face became more and more serious as he examined him.

Master Yi Dao said, "When I left this morning, I told you that you must not touch women anymore, let alone have sex. How come you didn't take it to heart?"

Chu Yanqiu showed the flower to the Imperial Master. Yi Dao took it in his hand, sniffed it and said in surprise: "Master, this is another assassination. Who sent this flower?"

Chihe, who was waiting beside him, shouted outside: "Bring the people up."

The security guard pushed Yu Xinlan and her servant in.

Yu Xinlan had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. She was very angry at the unreasonableness of the servants and said, "What a bunch of gutless servants. They don't even take my status seriously."

When she saw her cousin Chu Yanqiu, she felt even more wronged and wanted to cry. She pointed at the servant and said aggrievedly: "Second cousin, you see, they are really lawless."

At this time, Yu Xinlan's brother Yu Zheng arrived in time. He quickly pulled the servants around his sister and asked, "What's going on? I just walked away for a while, why did my second cousin and sister start arguing?" He thought that the two were just children, playing house and just a quarrel between children.

Chi He said with a serious face: "My master's illness has worsened again. Miss cousin, do you know what caused it? It was the flowers that my cousin gave to my master just now."

Yu Xinlan and Yu Zheng were shocked when they heard this. Yu Zheng said in disbelief, "This... isn't this absurd?" He looked at the lotus flowers Chi He showed him and said, "How can a single flower be poisonous? We can't wrongly accuse someone of this. Did you ask a doctor to check it out, cousin?"

Chi He said, "How could it be that? The Imperial Master personally checked this flower, and it clearly contained aphrodisiac powder. It's really abominable."

After hearing this, Yu Xinlan was struck by lightning as if from the blue sky. She was about to fall down, but fortunately the maid supported her.

Once this happened, she would be finished! She was a famous lady from a big family. If she was confirmed to have such a reputation, she would have no place to stand. Thinking of this, she covered her face and burst into tears.

Yu Zheng was so panicked that all he could say was "No... No".

Seeing this, Xi Dao Guo Shi also felt something was wrong. He said, "Don't cry now. This medicine is only circulated in the lower class places. We, the rich and powerful, strictly forbid it from entering. So you, the master and the servant, should recall the suspicious things you have encountered before. Where have you been and who have you met?"

Although Yu Xinlan stopped crying, she still couldn't figure out what was suspicious.

The maid thought for a moment and said, "Yesterday, my young lady and I were invited to Wanyue Pavilion. It was my cousin's concubine, Madam Shishi, who invited everyone to go there, saying that it was a poetry gathering. My young lady and I went there, and because the invited guests had not arrived yet, Madam Shishi asked the opera troupe in the mansion to perform for her to pass the time."

Chi He glanced at Chu Yanqiu Bing and said, "I have heard about this matter." Then he asked the maid to continue.

The maid said, "My young lady was the first to go, and she attended the opera with Madam Shishi. After the opera was over, the famous singer Yunqiaoer was praised by Madam Shishi, and was personally called to receive the reward. Yunqiaoer brought a girl with her, and the girl she brought was the top girl of Xiyaolou, Miss Hua Jieyu."

Then the maid looked at her mistress and said, "If there is anything suspicious, it is this one... I can't remember the rest."

When Yu Xinlan heard about Hua Jieyu, she tilted her head, her eyes dodging and obscure. Then, as if she had thought of something, she said angrily, "I was deceived by Hua Jieyu. She advised me not to waste my youth any longer. Since my cousin has no time for love affairs, I should take the initiative to let him know... know my feelings. That's why I... that's why I came to bid farewell to my second cousin in person without caring about my face. And how to get rid of my brother so that I can be alone with my cousin without being criticized." At this point, Yu Xinlan cried twice and said, "And that flower, I thought she was a close friend, so I let her see the flower. She also said that the lotus with two stems... the lotus with two stems means that the flowers bloom together."

Ugh!!! The tone of her voice when she said these words really didn't sound like that of an older left-over woman. She still thought she was a 13 or 14-year-old girl.

Chu Yanqiu, who was lying on the couch, began to feel unwell again. Anxious, Chi He could only pin his hopes on the Imperial Master, who shook his head helplessly and said, "It's hard to find another Blood Cleansing Pill. I used magic to suppress it before, but now it seems that my magic doesn't work."

Chi He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Suddenly, he had an idea and said, "Oh, I got it. A girl named Qingque just came. She said she has a way to save my master." He looked at Chu Yanqiu hurriedly, waiting for his order. Seeing that Chu Yanqiu was unable to bear it and had no time to care, he tried to get the consent of the national master. What could the national master say? He nodded in agreement.

Soon the greenbird leaning against the wall was found.

Chu Yong admired Qingque even more as he looked at her back. He wondered how this girl guessed that the young master would invite her.

Walking along the courtyard wall to the archway, the Yu siblings were called in for questioning by the second master Ji and his wife. Qingque just happened to see their backs as they walked away. She heard the girl's wet nurse scolding her girl in a low voice, "Why don't you learn from your mistakes? I've long said that Yu Shishi, who left our house, was not a good person. Have you forgotten what she said about you behind your back? What about a woman marrying two husbands, what about kicking out a poor boy to climb up the social ladder and ending up with a product that no one wants even if you pay money. And that prostitute..."

But Miss Yu just listened to her nagging and sobbing all the way, like a long flute.

Qingque didn't ask about other people's affairs. She entered Chu Yanqiu's room. Seeing that Chihe and Yingtou were about to talk about the illness, she waved her hand and said, "Go find me a pet that your master has, a painting that he likes to draw, and an item that belongs to his beloved."

Soon the servants came and put the things on the table. Qingque made a simple straw man and put it on top. Then she took out a magic weapon, and the national master knew it was an ink cartridge as soon as he saw it. Ink cartridges are usually used by Taoists. There is a line in the ink cartridge that can be pulled out, and dog blood is stuck on the line to make a weapon to control evil spirits.

There were no lines in Qingque's ink box, and Qingque didn't want anything bloody or anything like that. She just cut Chu Yanqiu's finger with a knife and let his blood flow into the ink box. She silently chanted a spell and pointed the ink box at a few things on the table. The cat on the table even stared at Qingque with wide eyes, then looked away proudly, unable to hide its arrogance.

Qingque recited the spell, put his index finger and middle finger together, gathered all the magic in his body on his two fingers, and threw it into the ink box. A silver thread inexplicably popped out of the ink box, and the silver thread drew a circle around several things but did not bounce onto any of them.

Yi Dao was very surprised and asked: "Why is this happening? Could it be that the spell is not cast correctly?"

Qingque was also puzzled, thinking that this shouldn't be the case. She looked at the things on the table carefully again, and pointed at the painting and asked, "Are you sure that your master's favorite painting is a landscape painting? And why is the thing about the beloved not there?"

Chi He felt very guilty. He really didn't know who his young master's beloved was.

Seeing that he couldn't explain it, Qingque gave up. He cast the spell again, and the silver thread popped out of the ink box again, but it didn't bounce onto those things again, but bounced onto the bonsai on the shelf with a swish sound. The bonsai was an orchid, and the silk thread hit the flower stem of the orchid, cutting off the flowers and leaves diagonally.

Qingque and his companions walked over to take a look, and they saw that blood was actually coming out of the cut surface. It was real human blood.

Qingque was even more puzzled. What should he do?

Qingque walked up to Chu Yanqiu and said, "Master Chu, what on earth has infected you with the love poison? Is it... a monster?"

Chu Yanqiu was furious, but due to the onset of the poison, he could only stare at her.

Qingque sighed and said, "At this point, I can only use a sinister trick. I have a zombie here, and I can only use this zombie to poison you and her. After the poison is applied, she can relieve your pain, but this zombie is a person who cannot survive in the world, so it can only be a temporary substitute."
