C272 cloud of doubt

"We've been married for such a long time, we're old husband and wife already. What's there to be shy about?"

"No …" Gu Qingli felt that her voice was a bit suspicious and alluring, not like she was refusing, but rather like she was half-pushing it and half-pushing it. She felt that her voice was a bit suspicious and alluring, not like she was refusing it, but like she was half-pushing it and half-pushing it half-way.

Xiao Yi Xiu sat her down in his embrace and slowly wiped the water off her body before slowly rubbing her wet black hair. He asked her about the condition of her pulse, causing the blush on her face to gradually fade as a trace of worry appeared in her eyes, "Today's prescriptions can only be used for a try, they can't be sure whether it will work or not. Tomorrow, I have to go and observe their condition from time to time to change the prescription, I'm afraid I won't be able to return home frequently."

Xiao Yi Xiu paused for a moment and asked, "Where are you going to live?"

"Mm, this way, it'll be easier to see their progress and …"

"No."

"Why?"

"It's too dangerous. How can I be at ease letting you stay there alone?" Xiao Yi Xiu said with a tinge of emotion.

"But I'm also worried about you. You've come in and out so many times, I'm afraid you'll bring the disease back to the clan."

"You took a bath for so long today, and you even use the wormwood leaves as a precaution?"

"Yeah, but it's not exactly effective." Gu Qingli sighed lightly. After all, without complete disinfection measures, clothes that were repeatedly boiled in boiling water might not be able to achieve the disinfection effect.

"Don't be afraid, I'm no longer the same person as before. I'm not so easily infected by the plague." He thought for a while, his expression becoming serious, "This matter doesn't seem to be that simple. I feel that it's not a sudden rise, but rather some kind of sign. I'll have to send someone to investigate it another day."

"You also suspect someone of being in trouble?"

Xiao Yi Xiu didn't say anything. He took out a small box and opened it. Inside was a layer of yellow oil paper, spread out in layers. The inner layer was composed of two or three squashed black bugs the size of mosquitoes.

"What do you think this is?"

Gu Qingli was extremely surprised. She stared at him for a long time before giving him a puzzled look. "I've never seen such a bug before. It looks like a bee but not a bee …"

"You really haven't seen it before?"

"Ah!" Gu Qingli suddenly exclaimed, thinking of the black cocoon and cried out, "That wild bee … After that, the cocoon disappeared. I kept thinking that it was impossible for me to forget where I put it. Then, it mysteriously disappeared! "

"I found this in the epidemic area and didn't let anyone see it. I suspect that this matter is related to us."

"But …" If it really is the kind that stings Princess Helian, then why did the princess easily recover without anything happening? "

However, the appearance of Helian Lie had caused the appearance of this kind of beehive. Although the first place they saw was Prince Mo's Mansion, they were still unable to find anything. Insects could fly everywhere, and they were extremely small, so who could be sure that it was someone from the Mansion who was up to mischief?

Gu Qing Li thought for a moment before jumping out of Xiao Yi Xiu's embrace. He hugged her tightly. "Where do you want to go?"

"I would like to go to the Compendium Pavilion to look through the books on Gu worms."

"..." You're just going to go like this? "

Gu Qingli's face turned hot again as she hugged her shoulders in a pout. "Fuck you, I naturally know to wear clothes."

He used more strength in his arms and pulled her into his embrace again. The warm breath he exhaled scalded her ears and her temples. "You don't need a husband anymore if you have any problems. How can you be a wife like this?"

Before she could come up with a response, he had already 'coerced' her into doing her duty.

It was a cold winter, yet there were two braziers burning inside the house. In order to increase the disinfection effect, a pot of vinegar was bubbling on top of the stove, mixed with the smell of wormwood leaves. In fact, it was not a good smell, but it was as warm as spring.

Gu Qing Li lay limply in Xiao Yi Xiu's arms. It took her much effort to pry her away from Xiao Yi's embrace and grumble, "Look at how sweaty you've made him, he's going to have to be washed again."

He half opened his eyes and looked at the unfading spring tide on her face. Smiling, he pushed away the hair on her forehead and leaned over to kiss her again. "Let's bathe together."

"Only now …" "Nope."

Gu Qing Li refused to let anyone in to change the water, afraid to make the maidservants below laugh. She was only willing to let Jin Shu bring a bucket of hot water and place it outside the screen.

However, before she could resist, she filled the tub with hot water and was carried into the tub by Xiao Yi Xiu.

After that, Gu Qingli went to the Wang Mansion's library to search for books on poison. When it was midnight, she found an incomplete handwritten copy, on which was recorded a "Poison Bee Gu", with only a few words, like the bee that stung Helian Lie.

Unfortunately, there was no way to save him. The symptoms after being stung were indeed similar to the plague.

Gu Qingli thought of the Gu in her body. She flipped through the book but couldn't find anything similar, so she went back to her room tiredly.

There was a light burning in the room, and Xiao Yixiu was drawing something under the light. When she arrived, he put down his brush and pulled her ice-cold body into his embrace. "What did you find?" he asked.

Gu Qing Li tiredly shook his head and explained the old book's lines, then forced a smile, "At most, I will know that someone calls it the Poison Bee Gu. This shows that my guess is correct, it is indeed a Gu. However, we still have to figure out how we're going to treat it and we don't have a clue. "

"Don't worry, you'll definitely be able to do it. You can even cure the many poisons that have entered my body and entered my bones."

Gu is different from poison. There are many Gu poisons that are controlled by humans. Gu Qing Li weakly sighed, and then continued, "However, it's not easy to place a Gu. Looking at the villagers' appearance, they're just suffering from the plague brought by the Gu worms themselves, they don't seem to have been infected by a Gu."

She smiled up at him again. "You're not going to sleep this late, and you'll have to go to court tomorrow morning. Go to bed."

"If you're not here, how can I sleep on such a cold bed?" As he spoke, he helped her undress and carry her to bed, still holding her under the covers.

"Then when you didn't meet me, who did you hug every day?" Gu Qingli's eyes were filled with a faint, mocking smile.

"Mm …" But so much, so much that I've forgotten. "

Gu Qingli started chuckling as she placed a finger on his chest and teased in a low voice, "Who said he was a virgin when we were together?"

Gu Qingli giggled even more. She thought back to the first time she had given him the acupuncture, when he was naked in front of her. Although she had tried her best to remain calm and collected, she still couldn't help but blush to the ground.

Amidst the chattering, the two finally fell into a deep sleep. It was only between half asleep and half awake, but Gu Qingli felt an inexplicable panic in her heart. She seemed to have sensed something, but didn't touch it.
