Chapter 240: The Flowers Bloom That Year
Jin Yanchen let out a faint "hmm".
He was looking down at a not-so-bright wick lamp in front of him.
A secret letter sent by Xu Younan. The letter said that after examining Tan Zhou's dander and blood, as well as the decoction he took every day, it could be confirmed that Tan Zhou had planted Gu worms in his body and raised Gu with people. 【1】
This Gu is called Corpse Flower Gu, and it is an extremely evil Miao Jiang New Gu.
The female worm of the corpse flower insect lives in the human body and lays eggs in the blood, and the eggs flow with the blood to the limbs of the human body. The person who raises the Gu inhibits the activity of the eggs by taking drugs, so that they cannot hatch into adults.
Once the host dies, the medicinal power in the blood disappears, and thousands of eggs that have lost their inhibition hatch into worms in an instant, breaking through the flesh and looking for a new host.
The mother worm that lives in the human body lives by sucking the blood of the human body, and over time, becomes one with the host. People are insects, and when people die, insects die.
Sensing the death of the mother, these newly hatched corpse worms will become extremely violent, gnawing at the hearts and intestines of the new host, and retaliating frantically.
Those who fall for the Gu will not escape death.
And after the death of the new host, these newly hatched corpse flower insects will break out again, looking for new targets, and the cycle repeats.
That is to say, once someone is crazy enough to use their own flesh to raise Gu to protect themselves, unless the bitter hatred is deep enough to be willing to die with it, no one dares to take the life of the "Gu Man" head-on.
Jin Yanchen hated Tan Zhou, but he would not let the entire Ming Palace be buried with him in order to kill him.
Things are trickier than you think.
He continued to look down.
Xu Younan said in the letter that Asimu was working day and night with several Miao Jiang Gu cultivators who had been hired for a lot of money to study the method of overcoming Gu.
However, for several days, no progress has been made.
Judging from the current situation, it is very difficult to conquer the Corpse Flower Gu in the short term. For the sake of the overall situation, the Ming Palace should temporarily withdraw from Chuzhou and give up the plan to hunt down Tan Zhou.
But...... He changed his words, and said: According to the report, Chang Qianfo is also quite interested in the Corpse Flower Gu, and he sent someone to Miao Jiang a few months ago to collect the Corpse Flower Gu's mother Gu, and studied it painstakingly, and it seems that he has achieved a little success in the near future......
Jin Yanchen didn't have to look down, he knew what Xu Younan said in the back.
He crumpled the letter in a crumpled ball irritably, and the gloom on his face made Wang Shusheng quite uneasy.
"Holy Lord?" He hesitated.
"You go on."
Jin Yanchen realized that he was out of shape, stood up, couldn't stand, walked back and forth, and was in a restless mood. He raised his hand and pressed his temples on both sides, rubbed them vigorously, and asked, "What is the reaction of King De?" ”
"King De thought that Su Hongyu had copied the account book and threw a mouse trap, so he didn't dare to act rashly." Wang Shusheng asked, "Shall we let out some noise and push him?" ”【2】
"No need." Jin Yanchen said softly, his deep voice revealing endless exhaustion:
"In terms of playing with power and eradicating dissidents, none of us can compare to that Rong Xiangye, and we are mixed in, but we are adding to it."
The Su family must be destroyed. But it doesn't have to be do-it-yourself.
He can borrow Rong Yi's hand.
Rong Yi will not end up in person, he still has the gun of King De in his hand.
Jin Yanchen just handed the gun to Rong Yi, as for how he would plan the layout and how to use the gun well, it was not something that Jin Yanchen needed to worry about.
He just waited to see the results.
He believed that this famous Rong Xiangye would not disappoint him.
"The matter that the Holy Lord asked to investigate has also been clarified."
Wang Shusheng said: "That palace is called Sufang Garden, which is a partial garden of Jiaolan Palace, and now lives in the spirit concubine of Emperor Shunping, named Xue Qingling, from Yueyang Xue's family. 【3】
This branch of Yueyang's Xue surname is from the same clan as the Jiankang Xue family. When Xue Tong fell, Xue Qingling's family was implicated and was questioned about their homes. The men were either imprisoned and beheaded, or exiled to Fangling, while the female dependents were all filled into the Church Division.
Xue Qingling's mother is a person from the rivers and lakes, influenced by his mother, Xue Qingling has loved martial arts since he was a child, and later entered the Guyue faction to practice martial arts, and worshiped Master Miaoyun.
Master Miaoyun once had a favor with the Fang family, and after the Xue family, she personally begged Fang Zhidong to ask for a favor for her disciples.
Xue Qingling was able to get rid of the lowly status of the Sect Workshop Division and return to the Guyue Sect.
After I don't know why, Xue Qingling suddenly entered the palace. Coincidentally, Yueyang's branch surnamed Xue was unexpectedly pardoned half a month after Xue Qingling entered the palace, returned to Yueyang from Fangling, and all the confiscated family property was returned.
At the beginning of Xue Qingling's entry into the palace, the saint was quite strong, but he completely fell out of favor in less than two months. Secluded in Sufang Garden, there is no place so far.
She herself doesn't seem to be keen on inviting pets, she is busy practicing martial arts every day, taking care of the lilies in the garden, and she is not enthusiastic about interacting with other concubines in the palace. ”
Chen Shusheng was not from the Intelligence Palace, and he was able to investigate the bottom of Su Fangyuan in such detail in less than two days, which shows that he has worked hard.
Jin Yanchen nodded and said, "Good job, hard work." ”
It is rare to be praised by Jin Yanchen, Chen Shusheng was a little flattered, and bowed down and responded: "It's all within the subordinate's responsibility." If the Holy Lord has an explanation, his subordinates dare not be unsatisfied. ”
Xue Qingling...... Jin Yanchen searched for this person from the depths of his memory.
Gu Yue was sent to Chang'an to participate in the martial arts conference, and he lived in the Jin family, and he went with his third uncle Jin Luanjie to greet him, and saw Xue Qingling for the first time.
The girl with gentle eyebrows stood quietly in the middle of a group of excited girls, beautiful, unassuming, like a plain lily drinking dew in the wind, fresh and elegant.
Yet her gaze at her was always bright and burning.
He once passed by the Jin family's guest house and heard her being ridiculed by his own sisters. They laughed at her for being self-conscious and delusional. The girl lowered her head, tears dripping down her white skirt.
There were lilies blooming at the gate of the courtyard, so he picked a handful, walked in, and handed it to the weeping girl.
……
The past is gone.

As soon as the day dawned, a small door opened in the northwest corner of Huairen Hall, and a blue-draped carriage slowly came out of it, the wheels crushing the silence of dawn.
Yan Ling was lying on her side in the carriage with a thick soft mattress, her body was comfortable, but her heart was devastated in her heart.
Three days ago, together with the doctors of Chongde Hall, she came to support Chuzhou with Li Ting.
At that time, every doctor in Huairentang who saw her smiled at her and was full of enthusiasm. She was glorious and decent then.
Now she was leaving, but she could only go quietly while no one was looking.
She never thought that Chang Qianfo would treat her so ruthlessly. She thought that he was generous and kind, and he was not willing to hurt anyone.
In fact, Chang Qian Buddha has always been like this. But since Mu Dianke appeared, everything has changed.
Yan Ling gritted her teeth, tears rolling in her eyes. Mu Dianke...... She said those three words in her mind, her fingernails digging deep into her flesh.
