C270 Gu Insects Deal
The man had made some inquiries. When he returned to Bai Ming's bamboo house, no matter how unwilling he was, he wouldn't dare show it. Every time he touched that broken palm, he would hate and fear it.
"Gu is going to be used on King Chu?" Before he could say anything, Bai Ming asked.
"Sect Leader is wise." The man lowered his head and could only respect him now.
"The word wise is usually used on the Emperor." Bai Ming looked at the black veil on the man's bamboo hat and seemed to want to go through it. He put his hand on his knee and said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to describe me like this."
"That throne is within Sect Leader's reach. He can bear the title of sage." The man thought that this was a flattery. Bai Ming would enjoy it very much.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ming lifted the military knife by his feet and threw it out fiercely.
The man slid past the man's feet and felt pain. He knelt down on one knee. The wound was a few inches long, and blood soaked his pants in an instant.
"Emperor? In my opinion, he is just a puppet of power, and I have to guard against my own blood relatives. I can't understand the harmony between families, and I can't be too biased towards my beloved child. Next, he has to supervise the hundreds of officials, to observe the situation of the people. When the night comes, I'm afraid I'll wake up from a dream." Bai Ming was dissatisfied with the man's words," How can you compare to me? "
" This subordinate misspoke. " The man gritted his teeth and only dared to glare at him under the bamboo hat.
"That weapon belongs to King Chu. It is indeed useful." Bai Ming stared at the military knife in the blink of an eye, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
The man did not care about the injury on his leg. He picked up the military knife and gave it to Bai Ming.
Bai Ming held the handle and drew a few moves in the air. The man took a few steps back. He was afraid that Bai Ming would hurt him if he was unhappy. "I will take my leave first."
Bai Ming was still waving the military knife and did not say anything. The man knew that he had tacitly agreed. He bent down and covered his wound as he went out.
"That Gu, don't be too hard to cure."
The moment the man went out, Bai Ming said something else. The man paused for a moment and answered, "Yes."
The man left. Bai Ming held the military knife and laughed. "If it's too difficult to solve. He can't enjoy the pain of being abandoned by you. After all, he was the one who let you down first, right? Hongrao, I helped you."
In the Imperial Residence.
Mu Ruqing had not been able to sleep well these two days and often woke up in the middle of the night. Every time she woke up, she would break out in cold sweat. Only when she met Yu Longchen would she feel at ease.
Perhaps she really did not have much time left, but she had to hold on until the child was born.
"What's wrong? Did you have nightmares again?" Yu Longchen woke up and hugged Mu Ruqing. He planted a kiss on her forehead. "As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you. No, even ghosts can't hurt you at all."
"Yes." Mu Ruqing hugged him tighter and felt his body temperature. She felt more at ease.
Yun Xi also did not sleep well. She was worried all day long. Would the news of her finding a Gu Master spread out and if the Emperor of Dayong knew about it... Even if she was Princess Yun Meng, the Emperor would take her life. The people of Yun Meng didn't dare to say anything.
"Princess, it's already the fourth hour. Why aren't you sleeping..." Huatine also stayed with her all night. After saying that, she yawned twice, "I'll massage your shoulders and back. Maybe you'll fall asleep easily."
"That's good too. " Yun Xi frowned and turned around to enjoy Huatine's perfect technique.
When she was about to fall asleep, she felt Huatine stop her movements and wake up again. She held back the anger in her stomach." Stupid girl, what are you doing? "
She turned her head and saw Huatine running towards the door. Yun Xi propped up her body.
"Princess." Huatine passed the letter to Yun Xi and Yun Xi shivered and quickly sat up from the bed. She looked at the letter and laughed, "Quickly prepare. We are going out now."
Huatine did not ask and left after responding.
It was still the same place as last time. When Yun Xi and Huatine were halfway there, the man appeared.
"I have already prepared the things. I just don't know what Lateral Consort Yun wants to use to make this transaction?" The man held a box in his hand and unfolded it in front of Yun Xi.
"How much silver do you want?" Yun Xi stopped smiling but her eyes could not hide her pride, "How would this princess know that your things are useful?"
"Believe it or not, it is all up to Lateral Consort Yun. Why would I need to prove whether it is useful or not?" The man's hand slowly retracted, listening to what he said. Two taels of silver?" He did not seem to be prepared to give it to Yun Xi. Two taels of silver? No matter how much I look at it, I will not take a fancy to it."
"Then what do you want?" Yun Xi saw his actions and was a little anxious. She was afraid that he would leave. It was not easy to find a Gu Master. If she wanted to see him, she would have to hold Yu Longchen in her hands. How could she let this opportunity disappear?
"I want Lateral Consort Yun to find two people for me." The man walked a few steps and the box was in his hands. "You also know those two people. They are Princess Chu's friends, Miao Yingyu and Yuan Zhen."
"Okay." Yun Xi agreed readily. First, she would take the Gu in her hand. It would be better if she could not find it with a perfunctory answer.
"Lateral Consort Yun, don't forget. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to deal with you." The man reached out and handed the box to her, "I am a Gu Master. This Gu that changes people's memories is the simplest kind. There is also another powerful one. If Lateral Consort Yun wants to try, I will not be stingy either."
" Are you threatening me? "
"No, I am making a deal with Lateral Consort Yun. As long as she keeps her promise, everything will be fine."
"Dayong is so big, how can we find one?"
"They are in the Imperial Capital. There is no hurry, as long as Lateral Consort Yun finds them and hand them over to me. Lateral Consort Yun has half a year's time."
Yun Xi was thinking about whether this deal was worth it. The image of Yu Longchen and Mu Ruqing loving each other flashed in her mind and a thick jealousy arose, "Deal."
"Lateral Consort Yun is very straightforward." The man opened his mouth and gave the box to Yun Xi," As long as King Chu can eat the things inside, it will be fine. "
"That simple?" the man asked. Yun Xi did not believe him. She began to wonder if she had gone crazy. How could a person's memory be changed? The hand holding the box loosened a little.
"Otherwise, what should I do? Open the man's skull and change his brain?" The man asked back with a faint anger. This was the first time someone doubted his Gu technique. "Just do as I say. After eating the Gu, the person who woke up and saw was Lateral Consort Yun. Then Lateral Consort Yun and King Chu will love each other. "
Yun Xi was skeptical. Since she had already gotten it, she might as well give it a try. When she looked up, the man disappeared.
Yun Xi returned to the Imperial Residence and carefully opened the box. In the huge space, she actually saw the so-called Gu worm.
After looking for a while, she still did not see it and angrily said, "Huatine, bring the candle. If that person dares to lie to me, I will make him die without a complete corpse."
Huatine brought the candle over and got close to the box. Yun Xi stared at it a few more times and was about to slam the table when Huatine only wrote the two sides of the crack, "Princess, is it this?"
Yun Xi got closer and there was a thin needle like 'thread' between the gaps. It was red and Yun Xi reached to the side like Huatine, "Bring the needle over."
As she picked up the 'thin thread', the 'thin thread was disturbed and crawled along the gap.
"It is this little thing?" Yun Xi threw the needle and frowned. She did not believe it.
"Since you have already brought it, Princess, why not give it a try." Huatine closed the box, "I heard that Gu insects are very dangerous. Princess, why don't you think about how to let His Royal Highness eat these insects."
Indeed, now it was time to think about it carefully. She could not place people in the kitchen, and she could not get close to Yu Longchen, let alone put such things in his meal.
