Chapter Twenty-Three: Full Moon Acacia Gu
At the mention of this, Xiao Yating's expression instantly became serious: "Naturally, her pulse is extremely peculiar, there seem to be two forces at work in her body, especially the lotus-shaped marks on her wrists, I went back to check all kinds of medical skills, and found that she was actually hit by the Miao legend of the full moon lovesickness Gu." ”
When Xiao Yuning heard this, he only nodded, but he didn't have any surprised expression.
Seeing this, Xiao Yating asked tentatively, "Do you already know?" ”
Xiao Yuning did not deny it: "Yes, I have long known that Ah Su has been caught in the Full Moon Acacia Gu. ”
Although Xiao Yating had already guessed, he still couldn't help but be surprised.
Xiao Yuning didn't wait for him to ask, and continued: "Ah Su was poisoned because of me. ”
Xiao Yating was stunned: "This ......"
The wind blew through the bamboo leaves in the forest, rattling, time seemed to slow down, and Xiao Yuning's lowered eyelids hid a trace of pain that slipped under his eyes. He said slowly: "What happened when I was ten years old, you must have heard about it. That year, my only sister Ning Yao died of a sudden illness, and the queen mother was overly sad, and she couldn't afford to get sick, and many treatments were ineffective......
Xiao Yuning's words also brought Xiao Yating into a hazy memory. He was the same age as Feng Qingxu, who was the age of playfulness, and he had only heard a little about what was happening in the palace, but he didn't care much about it. Now listening to Xiao Yuning's eloquent story, he realized that there were so many twists and turns.
After the mysterious man entered the palace, everyone didn't know what he talked about with the emperor, but after the mysterious man left, the emperor announced that the prince was about to choose an auspicious day to marry a woman who dreamed of returning to the city.
As soon as the holy decree was announced, the whole capital was in an uproar.
The prince is ten years old, and the wind is said to be only eight years old, how can he marry the prince? The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty unanimously opposed, the civil ministers advised, the military generals directly admonished, and some even grabbed the ground with their heads, and the blood flowed in the Jinluan Palace...... But he still couldn't change the emperor's wishes, and he suppressed all opposition voices with the power of the emperor.
But it's strange to say that after Feng Qingxu stayed in the East Palace, the queen's illness was really cured without medicine.
When the ministers saw this, although they had doubts, they were not good at speaking again, in case they drove away the wind and lightness, how would it be good for the queen to be critically ill again?
And only half a year later, the prince was killed by the Miao poison doctor, and his life was on the verge of death, and it was Feng Qingxu who used the secret technique of dreaming back to the city to save his life, and the prince survived.
From then on, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had no objection to the crown princess of Feng Qingxu.
It's just that after a few years, there are gradually rumors that the crown princess has married into the East Palace, and her body has not changed at all, and she is always like an eight-year-old child. Later, the imperial doctor diagnosed that the crown princess was born with a disease, and her body grew to the age of eight, and then it no longer grew, and there was no medical treatment.
Seeing that the prince was becoming a handsome and upright young man day by day, the Manchu ministers began to feel anxious again. Several pavilion elders took turns to enter the palace to face the saints, and finally they all came out silently.
The crown princess still sits firmly in the position of the crown princess even if she is born with a disease, but the crown princess acquiesces to the prince to accept two good women successively, but she says that she is sick and does not leave the East Palace, nor does she interfere in the affairs of the East Palace, and all the affairs of the East Palace are managed by the queen's maidservant Wan Qin.
After the matter of the crown princess, few people knew about it, and the princess did not participate in the major events in the palace on the grounds that she was sick, and the position of the crown princess was in vain......
Xiao Yuning eased his emotions for a moment before asking, "Yiting, you have been studying abroad for many years, and your medical skills are superb...... Do you know if there is a solution to this Gu? ”
Xiao Yiting frowned and pondered, and finally shook his head: "There is no solution." ”
The starlight in Xiao Yuning's eyes receded little by little, and finally turned into a disappointed look.
Xiao Yiting sighed and asked, "Does Your Highness know the origin of this Gu?" ”
Xiao Yuning smiled bitterly: "After Ah Su Zhong Gu, I rummaged through the medical skills, secretly looking for a way to rescue, and later learned that this full moon acacia Gu was rumored to be created by the Miao poison doctor, I heard that the Miao poison doctor was an infatuated woman, but he fell in love with the snowy holy doctor, the poison doctor poisoned people, but the holy doctor rescued people, these two people were originally fierce enemies of each other, the holy doctor was merciful, and he regarded himself as high, how could he fall in love with a woman who takes pleasure in killing?" The Miao poison doctor then held a grudge and created this full moon acacia Gu, so that the snowy holy doctor would never be able to combine with others. ”
Xiao Yiting looked at Xiao Yuning carefully: "Your Highness just said that the crown princess was a Gu ...... because of you."
Xiao Yuning raised his wrist, which was smooth and clean, glowing with ivory, but his eyes were quite painful: "The lotus Gu scar on Asu's wrist was originally here with me. ”
Xiao Yating was stunned.
Xiao Yuning was calm: "Everyone in the world knows that Asu sacrificed his life to save me, but few people know the reason. At that time, I had been married to Asu for only half a year, but I didn't know when there was a lotus mark on my wrist, and the next day I suddenly fainted in the imperial study, chills all over my body, bleeding from the seven orifices, and then I was unconscious, and the imperial doctor was helpless. Fortunately, Ah Su was well-informed and quietly told his father that I had fallen for the full moon lovesickness Gu. After a check by the imperial doctor, my symptoms were really very similar to the symptoms of the full moon Acacia Gu. ”
"But this full moon lovesickness Gu is incomprehensible, how can the crown princess save you?" Xiao Yiting said anxiously.
"There is really no solution," Xiao Yuning sighed, "If a man is hit by this Gu, he will only be unconscious at first, bleeding from his seven orifices, but what is really terrifying is that after waking up, not only will his whole body ache like broken bones every full moon, but he will also be unable to have children for life." ”
Xiao Yiting looked at Xiao Yuning quietly, speechless.
"There are not many heirs of the father and the emperor, most of them died or died of illness, only one son, if I can't have children, the whole country will have no successor, what a terrible thing. But Asu used the secret technique of dreaming back to the city, using herself as a vessel, and using her own body to lure the Gu worms in my body into her body......" Xiao Yuning's hand holding the teacup tightened unconsciously.
Xiao Yating looked shocked: "Take yourself as a guide? ”
"That's right," Xiao Yuning's eyes became more and more dim, "When I woke up, the lotus mark on my wrist had already shifted to Asu's body, and the first thing she said after she woke up was to me, A-Ning, it doesn't matter, you just have nothing to do." ”
Xiao Yiting was speechless in astonishment.
Xiao Yuning took a deep breath, and his handsome face was full of sadness: "Judging from the records, this Gu is only on a man's body, and there has never been a precedent for it to be on a woman's body. At the beginning, Asu just had unbearable pain all over her body every time the moon was full, and the doctor didn't know how many methods he tried, but he couldn't relieve half of the pain in her body. I saw Asu suffering all kinds of pain, and I always thought silently in my heart, Asu has suffered so much for me, I will protect her in this life, even if Asu can't have children, I will always love her, protect her, and don't let anyone deceive her, but then I ......"
Speaking of this, Xiao Yuning's heart tightened into a ball, and he could barely breathe in pain, he endured the pain in his heart, and said: "Later, everyone gradually discovered that Asu has never changed since he saved me, his body has not grown taller, and his appearance has not changed, as if he has stayed forever at the age of eight......"
When Xiao Yiting heard this, he jumped up from the stool all of a sudden, and his heart was extremely shocked, and his voice changed a little: "What? The crown princess didn't grow up because she was born with a disease? ”
