Chapter 537 Accident
Chu Yunxi let out a long sigh and said, "Hurry up and carry the person to the side yard. Qingmei and He Lao are already waiting."
Bai Yu and Hei Mu appeared in response and quickly carried Qin Youwei over. Chu Yunxi said to Xiao Mubei, "Let's go over and take a look too."
Xiao Mubei helped Chu Yunxi over and saw a mat spread in the middle of the side courtyard. Qingmei had asked Baiyu to help Qin Youwei sit cross-legged, and she was sitting opposite Qin Youwei with a box in her hand. Old He was sitting aside drinking tea, looking very leisurely.
Chu Yunxi recognized the box in Qingmei's hand. It was the one that Mr. He had used to remove the poison from her body before. What was inside should be the King of the God-Eating Gu.
When she was poisoned before, because no one knew what kind of Gu it was, Mr. He used four King Gu at that time. But now because it is clearly the God-Eating Gu, he only took this one.
Chu Yunxi walked to Mr. He and asked, "Master, have you shown it to Lord Qin? Are you sure he is poisoned?"
He Lao nodded, "Of course I am sure. The God Devouring Gu is very powerful. It is in the human brain. Fortunately, he has not been infected for a long time. If it has been more than three months, the Gu will enter his brain. I am afraid that even if it can be forcibly led out, it will take away half of his life. In this situation, although it is not that serious, it will still seriously damage his vitality. You should be mentally prepared."
Chu Yunxi raised her head and glanced at Xiao Mubei. Seeing that his face was very solemn, she knew that he was also a little worried. However, this was the only way to deal with the situation at the moment. Otherwise, Qin Youwei would not only be controlled by others in the future, but also die after the poison caster used him to achieve his goal.
At this time, Hei Mu brought a jar of wine and sprinkled it around Qingmei and Qin Youwei's bodies. Qingmei then placed the box between the two of them and opened the lid of the box.
She cut her finger and dripped a drop of blood into the box. The Gu King inside immediately became excited and circled around the drop of blood. At this time, Bai Yu also took a dagger and cut Qin Youwei's finger, and his blood began to drip into a small bowl. Everyone stared at his finger closely, but until the wound coagulated and the blood stopped dripping, no Gu worm was seen coming out.
Bai Yu then made another cut. Seeing more and more blood dripping, the small bowl was already half full. Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei were both getting impatient, but looking at Mr. He, although his expression was solemn, he did not stop, so the two of them could only wait, staring at Qin Youwei's fingers closely.
It was not until the fourth cut that everyone finally saw a tiny poisonous insect slowly crawling down his finger. At first, they could only see the bulge in the skin, and finally it reached the fingertip and fell into the blood bowl with a "pop".
Qingmei picked out the insect with the tip of her knife and threw it into the box of the Gu King. The Gu King became even more excited. Qingmei closed the lid. Chu Yunxi couldn't help but ask, "Will the Gu King eat this God Devouring Gu?"
Qingmei nodded, "That's right. Any Gu that comes to the Gu King will become its nutrients. It will take a few days for it to digest this God Devouring Gu. Okay, Master Qin is fine now. Next, you need to rest well, regulate your body, eat more blood-replenishing foods, and you will recover slowly."
Xiao Mubei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's send Mr. Qin to his room to rest first. When he wakes up, let me know and I'll tell him about this."
Qingmei returned the Gu King to Mr. He and volunteered to stay and look after Qin Youwei. Chu Yunxi thought that the people who captured Lin Shize should be returning to Dali Temple soon, so she asked Qingmei to take good care of Qin Youwei and leave him in the palace until she and the prince come back.
After making the arrangements, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi went to the Dali Temple.
When they arrived at the gate of Dali Temple, they happened to meet the people who arrested Lin Shize coming back. Chu Yunxi saw that there was a large bloodstain on Lin Shize's chest and he looked very sick. She thought to herself that he was raising a poison for no reason and was harming others and himself.
The constable saw them and said, "Your Majesty, Madam Li said she wanted to be dealt with. Since she is pregnant, we can't arrest her by force. The purple guards of the palace are still waiting for her. Let's take Lin Shize back first."
Chu Yunxi saw the mocking look on Lin Shize's face, and she said, "Not good."
Before Xiao Mubei had the chance to ask her, he saw a purple-robed guard running towards him from a distance. Upon seeing Xiao Mubei, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Madam Li has run away."
"What? How could a pregnant woman like her run away?" Xiao Mubei asked anxiously.
The purple guard looked ashamed again. "She said she wanted to change her clothes, so we waited outside. But she didn't come out after waiting for a long time. We realized something was wrong and rushed in. We found that there was no one in the bedroom, so we started looking for the secret passage and asked the maid. But the maid said that she had just come to serve the lady and didn't know anything. We finally found it after searching for a long time. But when we opened the door of the secret passage, there was a wall inside. It must be a double mechanism. The wall can only be opened from the inside. We couldn't open it and couldn't get in. We didn't know where the secret passage led to."
Chu Yunxi thought about it, then came directly to Lin Shize and asked, "Where will Madam Li go?"
Lin Shize originally had the image of a thin scholar, but now his face was stained with a lot of blood, and he looked much more fierce. He looked up at Chu Yunxi, grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and said, "I don't know, I only know that you will never find her."
Chu Yunxi saw his smug look and really wanted to punch him in the face. She originally thought that Lin Shize was the murderer and Madam Li was just an accomplice. Now looking at the situation, it seems that Madam Li is in big trouble.
"She's a pregnant woman. Even if she runs, where can she go? If the Dali Temple really wants to catch someone, they will make sure she can't escape no matter how hard it tries." Chu Yunxi stared at Lin Shize.
However, the expression on Lin Shize's face did not change at all, and he was still mocking. Xiao Mubei stepped forward to support Chu Yunxi and said to the constable, "Take him in first."
The constable took Lin Shize into the Dali Temple. Xiao Mubei said to Chu Yunxi, "Let's go over and take a look."
Chu Yunxi also meant this, so the two of them got back on the carriage and went directly to Li Ruixian's home. At this moment, the Purple Guards were still looking for the switch of the secret passage in Li's house, but the switch outside was turned on, but the switch inside could not be found. It seemed that the switch must be inside and could not be opened from the outside.
But if we can't get into this secret passage, we won't know where it leads to, and we won't be able to hunt him down. Xiao Mubei thought about it and said to the purple guards, "Go prepare gunpowder and blow this place up."
