"Miss, Miss, not good! Master, Master has fainted!" Cui Er gasped for breath as she ran in. Recalling the scene she saw in the old master's room, her stomach started to churn.
"Miss, Master vomited a lot of blood. There was a thumb-sized insect in the blood." Cui Er stood up on her tiptoes and whispered into Ji Zhen's ear. After she finished speaking, she even felt fear in her heart.
"Miss, you don't know, the last time we sent the Madame's brush to the Old Master, he stood at the side and said it was a dead man's thing, it was unlucky, the Old Master immediately locked the Madame's things into the warehouse." Cui Er didn't know why he didn't like the old master, but she felt that his own Miss shouldn't have such a father.
Only, the main wife's influence had always been in the hands of the Han's. Although the main wife was also his concubine, with the word 'wife' in his grasp, the main control of the backyard was somewhat related to him. If Ji Zhen wanted to open the warehouse and take out the Lin's disease's remnants, he would probably need to ask this Han's for permission.
The people in the east garden were all panicking. The air was filled with the faint smell of blood. Ji Quan was so anxious that he kept scratching his head. This was the child left behind by his wife, although he had never been close to them, this was also for their safety. Even though he knew that there were many methods in the backyard, he never thought that there would still be someone who would use such a vicious method.
"Cui Er, go to the Medicine Pavilion and call Dong Mei back." Ji Zhen knew, the person who used the parasite would definitely place the mother Gu into Liu Shi's body, and the parasite would be placed into his own father's body. If the mother Gu died, the parasite would naturally die, but it would cause a backlash towards the host.
In his previous life, a servant girl from the harem accidentally got a pair of Love Gu and used it on the late emperor and himself. Unfortunately, the Gu worm was rebellious, and the servant girl was supposed to have a mother Gu on her, but because she did not know who the servant girl was, she used the love Gu on him. With the passing of the late emperor, LI Fei, who was originally the favorite of the harem, died soon after. When she died, she spat out a little worm that was as thick as a thumb.
Originally, when Ji Zhen entered the palace, she only found out about this matter because the Inner Palace had gotten the Voodoo Gu again. Originally, every imperial physician would routinely check if there were any Gu worms hidden within the bodies of the palace maids. Naturally, there was also a method to control them.
When Dong Mei rushed back from the Medicine Pavilion, the stench of blood in the air had already largely dissipated, but Ji Zhong's face was already pale white. Originally, he was already close to forty years old. Coupled with the fact that he had exhausted his blood essence, it was likely that he would have to lie in bed for a long time before being able to recuperate.
"Who are you? If you don't move, don't you see that I am taking your master's pulse? " The doctor who was initially invited sat on the bedside, but no matter what, he could not tell how Ji Zhong was sick, and his heart was filled with anxiety. When he saw Dong Mei, who was crowded in, the anger in his heart grew even stronger.
"She is the doctor of my Ji Mansion, of course she can see it. Does Mister know what kind of illness my father was suffering from?" Ji Zhen learned about the Korea's plague from her previous life. At that time, the prices of the various medicine stores had all risen, causing the originally not very serious calamity to increase continuously.
"This, this..." The doctor smiled coyly and froze where he was, unable to say a word.
"Then please allow Mister to move aside first, and let Dong Mei take a look at my father first." Ji Zhen reached out her hand to stop him, and seeing his discontent, the expression in Ji Zhen's eyes grew cold, frightening him to the point that he did not dare to make a sound.
This person saw Dong Mei's pulse for a long time, added with the fact that Dong Mei's expression was young, he said arrogantly: "Hmph, just a young girl, and you dare call yourself a doctor, don't think that just because your Ji Family is a noble family, you can humiliate me like this. In the future, do not ever come look for me in the Return of Spring Hall for the business of your Ji Family!"
Once he finished, he flicked his sleeves and left, causing Ji Quan to immediately shout in anger, "Scram!"
With a cold face, Ji Quan looked at the pulse that Dong Mei had called for a long time before taking out a pile of silver needles and stabbing it all over Ji Zhong's body. She was so tired that beads of sweat were all over her forehead, and only now did he stop.
"Master has been infected with the Heart Rejuvenation Gu, which can be used to confuse people with the will of the mother Gu, and is most often used on brothels women." Once Dong Mei finished speaking, Ji Quan's face turned green, "But from what I can see, the old master was not only given the Heart Rejuvenating Gu, the old master had also been given a pill like Fantasy Heart Powder before."
"What!" Ji Quan suddenly slammed the table, "Investigate this, thoroughly investigate this matter, close the doors to the Hou Mansion, and search everywhere. If anyone finds this medicine in anyone's room, they will all be locked in a dark room, waiting for it to come to an end!"
Ji Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. Was this still his father after all? She had merely been bewitched by someone. 'Forget it. 'Originally, she didn't want to interfere in the matters of her father's room. She just didn't expect that her father would be harmed by the person within the room.
"Dong Mei, can you tell if the mother Gu is with Mrs Liu?" Ji Zhen was afraid of one mother and many children, if the mother Gu was not Mrs Liu's body, but someone else's, then the backyard would probably not be at peace.
"Reporting to the Miss, this servant does not dare to speak carelessly. However, looking at the child Gu on Master's body, this servant surmises that it was not the death of the mother Gu that caused the child Gu's backlash."
"What do you mean?"
"This servant guesses, the child Gu on the master's body, should be the one controlling the child Gu, using the mother Gu to forcefully sever the connection between my son and mother, so the backlash caused by the child Gu is not strong." Although Dong Mei did not know how to control the parasite, the Medical Gu was originally a family. Adding to the fact that Dong Mei's medical skills were passed down to her father, the Imperial Physician Guild had gathered all the experts in the apricot forest, so it was not strange for them to know of this technique.
"You might be able to find out who the mother Gu lives on?" Ji Zhen was more worried about this. After all, the Gu worm was extremely small when it was young, and the person who was hit by the parasite did not have any obvious situation. If they could find the mother Gu, then things would be much easier. Furthermore, she could already guess whose body this mother Gu was living on.
"This servant has a way to use the mother Gu …"
