Chapter 60: Gu
"This wine smells good, give me a try." Shu Kui actually knows how to drink, and the amount of alcohol is not bad.
Shang Mo looked at her and poured a little wine into her glass.
Shu Kui took a sip and said "um": "It's very delicious." ”
"Do you want more?" Shang Mo shook the bottle.
Shu Kui stretched the cup over.
"Today in the hunting ground, in front of so many people, your attitude towards the king is not very respectful." Shang Mo said as he poured wine.
Shu Kui didn't squeak.
"I've been in a good mood lately, so forget it, otherwise, you know it's never as simple as going to jail or beating me every day." Shang Mo put down the wine bottle, "Didn't you figure it out?" Figured it out, that's the attitude? ”
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty." Shu Kui lowered his eyebrows and said, "But, to be honest, I didn't come here voluntarily, and although I am a queen, the days of fine clothes and food are only a few years, and after that, I will enter the cold palace, become an abandoned woman, and suffer with my own children, thinking of this, I can't feel better." ”
"Then don't think about this, you are here to kiss, you want to be the queen, make me happy." Shang Mo didn't care why Shu Kui was in a bad mood at all, "If it goes on like this, one day, when my patience reaches the limit, you can go to the underworld and thank the monkey who scratched me today." Anyway, if you die, Ling Jiuchuan will also be sad, although it is not as good as the continuation of the pain, but it is not bad. ”
"Yes, I see." Shu Kui agreed, raised his wine glass, "Your Majesty, I won't be like this in the future, this glass of wine is an apology." ”
As he spoke, he drank down the small half glass of wine.
Shang Mo nodded, looking very satisfied, and also raised his wine glass and raised his head to drink.
At this moment, Shu Kui burst out, and the Xuantie dagger in his hand stabbed straight into Shang Mo's throat.
However, this blow had no effect at all, Shang Mo only made a slight block, and Shu Kui was immediately bounced out, causing a ping pong sound in the restaurant.
"Do you know how many assassins have been around me since I've lived?" Shang Mo slowly walked up to Shu Kui, "I already knew what was in your bag, and I didn't take it away because I wasn't worried at all." ”
Shu Kui endured the pain in his back and stood up, the hatred in his heart was like a wildfire burning in the prairie that burned more and more.
Shang Mo stared at her eyes coldly: "You're not afraid of death, are you?" ”
As soon as he heard him say death, Shu Kui felt a "boom" in his head, and he felt that the blood all over his body was boiling, and if he didn't put down the man in front of him with his own hands, he would be like suffering in hell.
Shang Mo was stunned when he found the killing intent surging out of her eyes, as if he was in disbelief.
And in less than a second, Shu Kui burst out again, brandishing a dagger like crazy, and constantly attacking again and again.
Shang Mo lost his previous coldness, frowned slightly, and turned his head to observe Shu Kui while dodging.
Shu Kui didn't realize it, his eyes were hooked, he just pounced viciously, and hit the wall and cabinet several times because he couldn't catch the momentum, but he didn't feel the pain at all, he still turned around, so he did it again.
Shang Mo saw that she looked like crazy, and felt that something was wrong, so after flashing a few more times, he slashed at the back of her neck with a knife.
Shu Kui immediately collapsed to the ground.
Shang Mo called someone to carry her back to the room, and called the medical officer to do an examination.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness's situation is a little weird." This is the conclusion reached by the medical officer.
"I know weirdness, too." Shang Mo was impatient, "Why is it weird, can you see it?" ”
"This ......," the medical officer asked, "may I ask Your Highness, did His Highness have any symptoms before he fainted, or what did he eat?" ”
"I knocked her out." Shang Mo said bluntly, "Before that, she was a little delirious. ”
"What's the insanity?" The medical officer wanted to know the details.
Shang Mo roughly recounted what happened in the restaurant just now, and finally said: "If she kills herself, I won't feel strange, but she doesn't dare to kill me, even if she dares, she won't be so stupid, she doesn't have any plan, she just comes hard." ”
After hearing this, the medical officer muttered for a long time.
"How? What can come to mind? Shang Mo couldn't wait any longer.
"When Your Highness saw that you were injured while hunting, did you have any unusual words and deeds?" The medical officer wasn't quite sure and began to work backwards.
"You were there at the time, you saw it all." Shang Mo stretched out his hands, "She's like that, she can't wait for me to die in front of her immediately." ”
Hearing this, the medical officer stopped talking again.
"What the hell is going on?" Shang Mo "tsk".
"The lower official is brave and wants a drop of blood." The medic bowed.
Shang Mo raised his eyebrows: "Here you go, can you know what's going on with her?" ”
"Yes." The medic nodded.
Shang Mo didn't say a word, and lightly scratched his palm with his fingernails, squeezing out a few drops of blood.
"Please smear the blood on His Highness's seal." The medical officer said.
Shang Mo did as he was told.
Strangely, after the blood was applied to Shu Kui's eyebrows, it did not dry up, but was slowly absorbed.
Seeing this, the medical officer's face turned pale: "Your Majesty be careful." ”
Before the words fell, Shu Kui suddenly opened his eyes, almost jumped up, and was about to pinch Shang Mo's neck.
Shang Mo moved faster, grabbed and twisted, put Shu Kui's hands behind his back, and blocked her movements at the same time.
"What's going on?" He turned to the medical officer.
"Away from the disgusting Gu." This time, the medical officer was quite sure.
"What is it?" Shang Mo put Shu Kui on the bed.
"A rather ancient Gu worm." The medical officer still has some research on this, "At first, when it was raised, it would only make the host disgusted with someone, and it was used to deal with the negative person, and later, after continuous transformation, the disgust escalated into hatred, and even killing intent." ”
"How do you get a Gu? How to push? "The appearance of Gu worms in the palace is no different from an assassin to Shang Mo.
"There are many ways to play Gu." The medical officer thought for a while, "The Gu worm has just entered the host's body and immediately sleeps, so there is nothing wrong with the host on the surface, the first time the Gu worm sees blood, the Gu worm will wake up, if at this time, the blood is smeared on the host, the host will decide that the owner of the blood is the enemy, and then find an opportunity to kill and never die." From then on, when the host was asleep, unconscious, and other consciousness was not very clear, as long as it was smeared with the enemy's blood, the Gu worm would manipulate the host to attack. ”
"Someone gave her a Gu and smeared my blood on her, doesn't that mean?" Shang Mo's face became gloomy.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The medical officer took out a band-aid from his bag and wanted to help Shang Mo put the wound on it.
Shang Mo waved his hand to stop: "How can this Gu be solved?" ”
The medical officer was asked.
"Don't know?" Shang Mo was stunned.
The medical officer hurriedly bowed down again: "Your Majesty, the Gu is too ancient, it is very rare, Xia Guan has only read it in the literature, and has never seen the real thing, and the literature is vague about the method of solving the Gu, Xia Guan is afraid that it will be harmful to His Highness if he tries rashly." ”
"Will you die?" Shang Mo frowned.
"Yes." The medical officer still replied in affirmative, "The disgusting Gu is poisonous, and it can't be killed when it is still in the body, otherwise the host will be poisoned, therefore, to solve the Gu, the only way to lure it out is to draw it out, but the lower official doesn't know how to lead it." ”
"Is the soul cleansing ointment okay?" Shang Mo immediately thought of the most commonly used medicine.
"You can try, but it may not work." The medical officer pulled out a small medicine jar that he had brought with him.
Shu Kui had come to his senses at this time, listening to the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but be shocked and scared, thinking that the person who was going to be a Gu must have nothing to do with Yun Jingli, maybe it was Yun Jingli himself.
"Give her a shot." Shang Mo raised his chin towards Shu Kui, "Tonight, you stay here." ”
The medical officer said "yes", picked out the ointment and put it on Shu Kui's seven orifices, and gave another injection of sedative.
Subsequently, Shang Mo let Shu Kui regain his ability to move, and he didn't stay longer.
Under the effect of the drug, Shu Kui soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when she woke up in a daze, the first thing she heard was Guan Er's voice: "How is it, is it useful?" ”
The medical officer sighed lightly and did not answer.
Shu Kui opened his eyes: "Soul cleansing ointment is useless, is it?" ”
Wan Er glanced at the medical officer, then walked over and said, "It's okay, there will be other ways." ”
Shu Kui sat up and smiled: "This is good, in the future, I don't have to see Shang Mo again." ”
"Your Highness, the Gu worm has awakened and cannot stay in the body for a long time." The medical officer was worried, "After a long time, it will start to gnaw at your internal organs." ”
Shu Kui still smiled, thinking that maybe it wouldn't be long before he could stop suffering here, but relax: "It doesn't matter, just gnaw it, in the end, it will be a death." ”
The medical officer opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, packed up his things, took his leave, and left.
"Yesterday I was hunting, and Yun Jingli also went, because of her, Shang Mo was injured." Shu Kui decided that it was Yun Jingli who was making trouble behind his back, "I suspect that the person who is the one who is the Gu." ”
"But she hasn't been near you lately." Wan Er was a little puzzled, "When is it and how is the Gu ordered?" ”
Shu Kui recalled, and suddenly thought of a scene: "A few days ago, when she brought the incense burner, we met at the gate of the palace and said a few words, could it be at that time?" ”
"This ...... I really don't know. "When it comes to Gu worms, Wan Er doesn't know anything.
At this point, the two of them, who are both "Gu Blind", can't discuss it anymore.
"There's something wrong." After a moment of silence, a question suddenly came to mind, "The whole palace knows that Miss Yun doesn't like you, isn't it too stupid if she plays tricks on you?" His Majesty is expressly forbidden to use Gu in the palace, and when this is traced, the first person to find her must be her, she can't escape. ”
Shu Kui thought about it and felt that this was right: "Who else will there be besides her?" ”
"Someone who wants to kill His Majesty." Without thinking, he replied, "There are many people who want the king to die." ”
"Why are you playing tricks on me?" Shu Kui didn't understand, "I don't have any ability at all, let me kill him, isn't it hitting a stone with an egg?" ”
