Feng Ning Yan's nose suddenly turned sour as she felt the blood energy in her chest churn, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Shen Ling Jue was shocked, hurriedly lifting her up and placing her on the bed.
She gripped his hand tightly and shook her head in pain, "Don't... I... "Please …"
Shen Lingjue's lips were tightly pursed, but he did not say a single word.
Ah Yao was scared out of his wits and rushed over to take a look. Luckily, the blood was not black and he knew that Feng Ning Yan's blood was attacking her heart and not the Gu poison.
She looked at Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan, sweating from anxiety: "No way, none of you should be alright …" Ah Yao will not let anything happen to you! I'll immediately find another way! "
Seeing that there didn't seem to be anything happening to him here, Doctor Miao secretly opened the door, wanting to slip out.
Ah Yao grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back, "Where are you going? The junior family still has something to ask you. "
"Yes, yes, yes. I don't dare to leave."
Feng Ning Yan was holding onto Shen Ling Jue's hand and couldn't bear to leave, so she asked Doctor Miao:
"Doctor, take a look at something. As long as you can provide more clues, the reward will definitely be there."
Jing Qi understood what was going on and quickly took out the box containing the Gu worms and showed it to Doctor Miao.
Doctor Miao looked at it and shook his head. "I've never seen this kind of Gu worm before. At first glance, it looks like a coral shape. It seems like it might be something from the sea."
Jing Qi was curious and placed a gold ingot on the table. He asked, "Why is it an object from the sea?"
Doctor Miao's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he quickly replied, "The Gu is divided into different species and is related to the environment in which they grew up. This is why the five elements are different. What it eats, what it grows up in, what kind of rearing tools it uses, determines shape, color and size... "This Gu is like a coral, or an animal with long antennae in the sea. The five elements are probably water, so this small one dares to guess that it is an object in the sea …"
Shen Lingjue suddenly interrupted him, "Near the southern border, could this Gu be raised by someone from the southern border?"
Doctor Miao shook his head. "That's unlikely. The White Miao Village is very isolated. The people inside rarely come out. The White Miao Village is already self-sufficient and doesn't normally set out to sea."
Shen Ling Jue asked again, "The nurturing of Gu in Miao Village is a secret, then who would nurture this Gu in large numbers?"
"Mass? How much does the Little Boss mean? " Doctor Miao hurriedly asked.
Shen Ling Jue's eyes became cold: "You can infect hundreds or even thousands of people."
The Crown Prince's assassins had already been killed by the guards of the Yu Mansion, and there were almost a hundred of them.
Doctor Miao laughed. "That's impossible!" Even if it was someone that used Gu as a trading resource, it wasn't something that could be found every day. Raising a dozen or so was already quite a lot. "Gu can't be eaten as a meal, and it can easily devour its master. If there's nothing else, who would raise so many Gu …
Shen Ling Jue suddenly stopped asking.
Seeing that the prince was no longer questioning her, she knew that he had gotten some useful clues, so she passed the gold ingot to Doctor Miao and said, "Alright, you can leave now. If you dare reveal anything to anyone, you'll lose your head!"
This humble one dares not! "I don't dare!" Doctor Miao grabbed the medicine box in fright and quickly left.
"Your Highness, did you think of something?" Feng Ning Yan saw that Shen Ling Jue was deep in thought, so she asked.
Shen Ling Jue warmed her hands, and as he was lost in thought, he said:
"Raising large amounts of Gu worms at the same time, it must be a secret. The crown prince's Gu Keeper is definitely not at Miao stronghold, and is most likely with the assassination association. But the person who raises the Gu is definitely a Miao Man, otherwise how would he be able to obtain a secret technique like raising the Gu? "
When Feng Ningyan heard this, she also suddenly thought of a possibility. "Therefore, we need to investigate if any of the dark seedlings in the Southern Wilderness have disappeared recently."
Upon hearing that they had a clue about this matter, both Chu Zhao and Ah Yao became excited.
Shen Lingjue continued, "If this Gu was raised by the sea, then the person who raised it cannot be in the mainland, but on the island instead."
Jing Cha looked at Ah Yao and said, "Now we have to trouble Ah Yao, this explanation flower, to go and collect the news."
Ah Yao laughed, "Is that even necessary? I've already said this before, the masters only want to bring this maid of mine along the road, a business that only earns and does not lose money! "Just you wait, I'll be right back!"
Jing Qi and Chu Zhao also walked out, standing outside the door to protect him.
Shen Ling Jue helped Feng Ning Yan sit up and drank a cup of water. Then, he took out the Yun An/Bai Jie pill and placed it in his bag, allowing Feng Ning Yan to wear it on her body.
"Remember what the doctor said. Take it once every six hours, twice a day. In these three days, stay in the inn and don't go anywhere. "It's too hot in the south, so the Gu worms in your body are fire type. It's good to drink more water. There are many mosquitoes at night, so you should wear this sachet …"
As he spoke, he took off the scented sachet that Senior Servant Xu had given him, intending to help Feng Ning Yan put it on.
The fact that he was suddenly so long-winded gave Feng Ningyan a bad feeling.
She took his hand and said, "Your Highness, this scented sachet is something that Grandma Xu specifically instructed you not to leave. Especially since this diamond pattern appeared on the embroidered shoes of the White Peony.
After saying that, she tied him back to her waist.
Shen Ling Jue laid her down, "You've worked hard all the way. That Yun An Medicine Shop's Doctor Miao already knows that you're not the head storekeeper, so we don't need to talk to them about the matter of collecting the medicine. You just lie down and sleep for a while."
Feng Ning Yan held his hand. "You can coax me to sleep, then you can go find Heartless Grass?"
Seeing that she had seen through him, Shen Ling Jue couldn't help but bitterly smile.
Feng Ning Yan looked up at him. Her voice became gentler; she only wanted to advise him not to be impulsive and do something stupid.
"Your Highness, that Doctor Miao said that once this Gu poison breaks out, ordinary people will die without a doubt. That's because they don't have my strong will. If I can last for more than two or three times, I can still hope to control it forever. "
Shen Ling Jue gritted his teeth, "But, as long as there's one 'in case', I might lose you forever. I can't take this risk … "
Feng Ning Yan leaned against the pillow and shook her head with a smile. "It's not an adventure. I'm confident that I can find other solutions."
"Are you sure?" Shen Ling Jue looked down at her with a face full of rebuke, "For the sake of not letting me find Heartless Grass, you really have the audacity to boast about something like that."
Feng Ningyan smiled. "Who did you say would use the Du Family to harm you and me?"
Shen Ling Jue blurted out: "Of course it's the one controlling Flower Rain, Crown Prince and Prince Cheng are both possible."
"Yes, that's them." Feng Ningyan said affirmatively, "They use the Gu to control the killers, but the Du Family is an ordinary woman, it's impossible to have any connection with the person who raises the Gu. If she wants to harm anyone, she can go to the medicine store and buy some arsenic to poison, which is much more convenient than the Gu. Only Crown Prince, Prince Cheng and the person raising the Gu are in contact with each other, only they can use Hua Ruyu to order the Du Family to plant the Gu on you and me, and want us to kill each other due to the rumors of the medicine, in the end only one of us can live. "
At this point, Shen Ling Jue immediately understood what Feng Ning Yan meant.
"As long as you can find the person who nourished the Gu, you can dispel the poison from your body!"
