Emperor Huiming also has Gu poison in his blood?

Lu You gasped, and was about to say something when Qi Yunchu opened a wooden box on the table. '' There are three rows of twelve compartments in the box, and each compartment contains a paper bag with a note attached.

Looking at the notes again, they are all the names of the clan's children.

Tang Ruilang rushed to the front and asked, "Could it be that these people are all bewitched?"

Qi Yunchu nodded: "Judging from the twelve blood samples, there is no exception."

Lu You followed up and asked: "Could it be that Gui Rong instructed these witch doctors to come to the capital and use voodoo to control the clans of the Daning Dynasty...or is it that King Kang Zhao Jingli communicated with foreign countries and tried to usurp power?!"

"I'm afraid it's neither."

Qi Yunchu threw another scroll over.Judging from the handwriting on the cover, it should be the transcripts of the interrogation of those ghost and witch doctors these days.

Lu You quickly opened the scroll and glanced at the ten lines.Tang Ruilang also leaned over to see what happened, but Lu You gently pushed him away with his shoulder in disgust.

"It says that the witch doctors who were caught confessed: they were initially invited by the Yaowangyuan, and followed Qin Yizhao all the way eastward to Liuquan. However, after arriving, the Yaowangyuan was divided into two factions. Most of them refused to accept the voodoo and sorcery from the west, so these witch doctors were temporarily placed outside Liuquan City, and received some secret sponsorship from the Medicine King Academy.

"One day, the person who invited them to Liuquan City brought a luxuriously dressed patient to them. He said that the man had a rare and serious illness, and all the doctors in the Great Ning Dynasty were helpless. However, these ghosts and witch doctors quickly Just check it out - there is actually a kind of Gu hidden in this person's body..."

After reading this, Lu You suddenly stopped: "Shouldn't the Gu be ordered by Guirong witch doctor? Why did they find out again? Could it be that they are deliberately shirking responsibility?"

"Hey, don't rush to conclusions, you should read on."

Tang Ruilang hurried over to grab the booklet and continued to read.

"There is indeed Gu in this patient's body, and it is a very rare ancient species of Gu. Not to mention that it was unique in the Daning Dynasty, even in Xirong Guidi, it has not appeared for at least 200 years.

"People from Yaowangyuan asked those witch doctors if there was any way to get rid of the Gu worm and cure this patient. The witch doctor replied that this kind of Gu technique has been lost in Guirong for at least hundreds of years, and there is hope for a cure. But it takes time and money.

"So, with the financial support and acquiescence of the Yaowangyuan, the witch doctors began to study how to unravel this poison in the outskirts of Liuquan City. To refine this antidote, you must first find the corpse As a 'pill furnace' for refining demons..."

After reading this, Tang Ruilang suddenly realized: "It turned out that the purpose of digging up those corpses was to make antidote! But why did the corpses come back to life?"

Qi Yunchu said: "That has something to do with the steps of making the antidote, so let's just read it honestly."

Tang Ruilang nodded, and then looked down ten lines at a time.

The process of making the antidote is very mysterious and complicated.First, there needs to be a freshly dead body.Then put several different medicinal materials and Gu worms into the corpse, and then drip the patient's blood infected with ancient Gu worms.Check again after a while, if the Gu worm that was put in first is still alive, it means that this Gu worm can restrain the toxicity of the original Gu worm.Conversely, if the Gu worm dies, it means failure.

Since coming to Liuquan City, the witch doctors have tried countless things.However, none of them really worked. On the contrary, the corpse used as a cauldron had a strange change under the combined effect of several Gu insects.

At the same time as they discovered this, what the witch doctors did to steal the corpse also aroused public outrage, and the ensuing Liuquan City Rebellion broke out.

After the riots, the remaining witch doctors went underground.In fact, long before the incident, they began to dig secret passages.Now it is the Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, freely entering and leaving Liuquan City from the ground, and even continuing to secretly collect blood samples from the clan's children under the eyes of countless eunuchs and guards...

The record books came to an abrupt end, and Lu You and Tang Ruilang looked at each other in dismay.Some problems are explained, but many new problems arise-

Who caused the poison in the bodies of the emperor and the clan's children?And why did Kang Wang Zhao Jing find the ghost doctor and secretly get them to Liuquan City to make an antidote?

Lu You vaguely sensed something, but faster than him, Tang Ruilang had already given the guessed answer first.

"Since both the emperor and the clan have problems, does King Kang also have this kind of poison in his body? That's why he is so eager to make an antidote. But he doesn't want to share the antidote with other people, especially the prince. ..."

When he mentioned the prince, Lu You's eyelids twitched, and suddenly remembered another very important matter.

"My sister also has Gu in her body, could it be this kind?!"

"……What did you say?"

Qi Yunchu was also a little surprised, but soon calmed down: "According to what the witch doctors told me, there are male and female Gu, and this lost Gu is supposed to be a male Gu. This means that this Gu cannot live in a woman's body." , only one exception can be made.”

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused for a while, so that Lu You could be mentally prepared.

"Your sister, I'm afraid she is already pregnant with the flesh and blood of a person who has been infected by Gu."

Pregnant? !Prince's child? !

Lu You was stunned for a moment.

But he is not without common sense to such a degree--women in the palace, who are favored, don't open their eyes and look forward to being able to take on the rain and dew?In the near future, once the crown prince inherits the throne, wouldn't the child in her womb be the emperor's eldest son or eldest daughter?

But is it really that simple?

Thinking that there was still that "Prince Prince", he couldn't help becoming nervous, and said with difficulty: "I have to ask her again...about the child."

------------

Before dusk, Lu You and Rui Lang bid farewell to Qi Yunchu, left Liuquan, and returned to Zhaojing without stopping.After half an hour, Lu You entered the Zichen Palace all the way and headed for the Tongxun Gate.

This time, just in time for dinner in the palace.According to the rules, the prince and the concubines never eat together, and they would not run into each other at this moment.

Lu You came to the Linshuang Palace familiarly, just in time for the maids preparing the dinner table.He waved his hand and ordered everyone to step back for the time being, and after confirming that there was no one around, he walked to Ye Yueshan's side and asked questions straight to the point.

"Sister, are you...are you happy?"

Ye Yueshan raised her head while sitting upright and asked, "Hi? Where does joy come from?"

Lu You scratched his cheek: "Are you pregnant?"

Ye Yueshan hesitated for a moment, but she didn't show any unnecessary expression.

"So what? I'm already the prince's Liangyuan, and sooner or later this day will come. Why, is it strange?"

"It's not strange... but it's also a little strange."

The words that have been repeatedly brewed along the way are a little hard to say when they reach the mouth.Lu You lowered his voice even further: "Is this child really Zhao Yun's flesh and blood?"

"What do you mean?!" As expected, Ye Yueshan immediately became ashamed and angry, glaring at Lu You.

The most offensive words have already been uttered, and Lu You no longer hesitates: "Sister, does the child in your belly belong to that prince?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Ye Yueshan's face was ashen, "If you still want to talk nonsense, even if you are my younger brother, I won't tolerate it."

"Sister... now, do you still want to hide it from me?"

Lu You took a deep breath and stood still in place without moving.

"Is the 'Prince Prince' you're talking about the Prince of Kang Zhao Jing? Does he know about my relationship with you? The current situation in the court is treacherous. If you keep this from me, it is tantamount to blindfolding me. Let me walk on the edge of a cliff. Can you really bear it?"

"I……"

Of course Ye Yueshan didn't have the slightest intention of harming Lu You, she hesitated when she heard what he said: "If I tell you, what would you do?"

Lu You laughed: "What else can I do? No matter who he is, as long as he has no intention of harming me, I will not provoke him."

Ye Yueshan was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Then what if I want you to help him bring down the prince for my sake?"

Lu You sighed and said, "If you say that, Prince Wang must be Zhao Jing. How did you know him, and how...how did you plan to get to this point?"

Ye Yueshan followed him and sighed.

"Where is there any plan, everything is just a mistake, and it is hard to recover."
