Fortunately, I don't know if acupuncture is really effective, or the empress dowager's endurance is amazing, except for the cold sweat (shēn) and her face is pale, she is not so irritable because of the pain.

It wasn't until Gu Xuebin twisted all the thirteen needles that Su Jinyao walked over and asked softly, "Grandmother (nǎi) (nǎi), are you okay?" ”

"Well, it's fine." The Queen Mother opened her eyes, her pupils were dim, and she looked very haggard, but she still showed a smile and said to Su Jinyao: "Your acupuncture is very effective, and it is better than when I took the medicine before." ”

Su Jinyao had already regarded the Queen Mother as her dean's mother, and now seeing her smile and listening to the strength in her words, tears couldn't help but flow down again.

Su Jinyao gently moved the queen mother's wrist and checked her pulse. After making sure that her condition was stable for now, he told her what she had just discovered with Aunt Ma.

When Su Jinyao talked about Yuguiren, Gu Xuebin's face changed, and he could feel that his Zhou (shēn) momentum was a little different. Gu Xuebin's face changed slightly, and Su Jinyao immediately noticed it. But when she looked at Gu Xuebin with puzzled eyes, he shook his head slightly and motioned to Su Jinyao not to ask more.

Su Jinyao knew that Gu Xuebin wanted to avoid the queen mother and Aunt Ma. But doesn't he trust these two people?

But now it can't be said, Su Jinyao endured it. She is not a curious child, and there are some things (qíng) that are inappropriate to ask.

Su Jinyao skipped this section and continued: "I used a special medicinal solution to attract Gu worms, and if I was lucky, I would be able to catch a few. However, if you want to get back the blades of grass that may catch Gu worms, you have to look at the vicissitudes of ...... The crown prince (diàn) has the ability to do it. ”

Su Jinyao was used to calling Gu Xuebin's name, and when she talked to Aunt Ma just now, she also called him by her name, but later heard that Aunt Ma had always called him "Prince (diàn)下", Su Jinyao secretly reminded herself to pay attention to the (shēn) part of the title.

But when this title came out of her mouth, Gu Xuebin himself was a little uncomfortable when he heard it, squinted at Su Jinyao, and sighed secretly. He was afraid that the distance between the two would be widened.

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, Aunt Ma said: "Actually, I was very puzzled just now, why can't I do this matter, I am willing to do anything for the prince (diàn)." ”

Su Jinyao smiled, pointed to the blue bird on the silver bird shelf, and said, "Aunt Ma, do you know how to control birds?" ”

"This ...... I won't. Aunt Ma shook her head and said suddenly, "Do you mean to let the blue bird go and bring back those blades of grass?" ”

"Yes." Su Jinyao nodded and said, "If any of us get close, it's hard to explain if we are discovered." Since the emperor favors (ài) Yu Guiren, and her place has a golden python and no one is allowed to approach, it is too conspicuous for us to appear there for no reason. But the queen mother's bluebird flew out, flew to the courtyard and walked around. Moreover, it was the queen mother's bird, who would dare to fight? ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, even the Queen Mother, who was lying on the phoenix (chuáng) and closed her eyes to recuperate, opened her eyes and smiled at Su Jinyao. It can be seen that the Empress Dowager's suggestion to Su Jinyao is already a response (yǔn).

Gu Xuebin nodded and said, "It's not difficult to let the blue bird go and pick up some blades of grass and come back, I can do it." ”

That way, there's only time left to wait. Su Jinyao didn't know when those blades of grass wrapped in special potions would attract Gu worms. In case the Gu worm is stored in the jar, it will not be easy to escape by itself.

But I was worried that it would take too long, and after those potions attracted Gu worms, the Gu worms would eat up the potions and flee, so this time was more difficult to grasp.

So Su Jinyao set the time within an hour, and when the time came, she asked Gu Xuebin to drive the blue bird to bring back the blades of grass.

While waiting, Su Jinyao personally gave the Empress Dowager an acupuncture, asking her (shēn) about her physical condition from time to time, and the worry and concern on her face were overflowing.

Aunt Ma was on the side, and she could feel that Su Jinyao's intentions for the Queen Mother were by no means to play on the scene and deliberately curry favor, but she sincerely wanted to make the Queen Mother better. I can't help but feel a little moved, but also a little strange.

She didn't know where Su Jinyao's feelings for the queen mother (qíng) came from, even if it was because of Gu Xuebin's relationship, there was no need to come so really, right?

The same problem exists with the Queen Mother. Every time Su Jinyao gave her an acupuncture and a pulse diagnosis, she would observe Su Jinyao with a smile on her face, and every time Su Jinyao would smile comfortingly, telling the Queen Mother that she would get better soon and would not feel pain.

Su Jinyao's tone and attitude are like a little granddaughter who serves her grandmother very carefully, which really makes the queen mother feel that she is more intimate than those princesses and princes who often come to ask for peace.

People are in high positions, it is easy to get something, even pro (qíng) can be faked, and there will be countless people who kneel on the ground and behave stupidly in order to say "Wan'an" to the queen mother.

But what can really make the Queen Mother feel sincere, respectful and filial, can be counted on her fingers.

Gu Xuebin watched this scene from the side, feeling surprised, heartwarming, and very comforting. He originally intended to take this opportunity to let the Queen Mother accept Su Jinyao.

Now it seems that Su Jinyao not only did an excellent job, but that sincere heart was simply touching.

Calculating that the time was almost up, Su Jinyao said to Gu Xuebin: "You can try to communicate with the blue bird." Let's see how it can tell the grass blades that can catch Gu worms. ”

Gu Xuebin said: "Just give me a drop of the potion you used, and the rest of the blue birds can be completed." ”

Su Jinyao took out the bottle and poured a drop on Gu Xuebin's fingertips. The brown potion was like a transparent piece of amber on his white fingertips, exuding a faint fragrance.

Gu Xuebin frowned slightly and said, "Ambergris? ”

"yes. I've invested a lot of money. The bottle of potion in Su Jinyao's hand was prepared with ambergris. Because ambergris is extremely precious and rare, it was not originally used to attract insects.

Gu Xuebin walked over, untied the silver ring and small silver chain tied to the blue bird's feet, let the blue bird fall on his shoulder, and then took out the whistle. A syllable is played, and the bluebird jumps over and pecks at the potion on his fingertip.

Because the potion is sticky, the bluebird will rub its claws against its mouth after pecking. After blowing and pecking again, and after repeating it several times, the bluebird spread its wings and shook it, and with a sharp flap of its wings, it flew away from the window.

It was the first time Su Jinyao saw the process of Gu Xuebin's taming of birds, and the syllables he played were not difficult to remember, but he didn't know his intention to play like this. It seems that I will have to study hard with him in the future.

When the blue bird flew away, Gu Xuebin wiped the potion on his fingertips, then spread a handkerchief on the table, sat at the table and waited quietly.

After about a cup of tea, the blue bird flew back. Each paw holds a small tube of blades of grass, and one in his mouth. It seems that this little guy is really diligent.

I came back and forth several times, and the bluebird came back with three blades of grass each time. The last time I came back, I only brought one, and then it fell on Gu Xuebin's shoulder and refused to leave again.

Su Jinyao came over and counted, two fewer than the one she threw out. But she threw it in at random, and it was a miracle that one bird could retrieve so many.

Su Jinyao said happily to the blue bird: "Thank you, you are really capable." Then he began to unfurl the blades of grass one by one.

Gu Xuebin and Aunt Ma intended to come up to help, but Su Jinyao hurriedly stopped: "Don't get close." The bird is the nemesis of the Gu worm, so it can take this back, and I (shēn) have the Divine Gu King, and I am not afraid. But you can't, and whatever you see for a while, don't come forward to help. Although Su Jinyao didn't let Gu Xuebin help, he thought about it and still took a few cups on the table in his hand.

Su Jinyao didn't understand his intentions at first, and asked him in a low voice, "Are you planning to use this as a weapon?" If a Gu worm runs out and bites you, hit it with a quilt? ”

While speaking, Su Jinyao imagined that picture, thinking about the appearance of Gu Xuebin throwing the cup in his hand while avoiding Gu worms, she secretly laughed.

Gu Xuebin said seriously: "It's not to stone the Gu worms to death, but to buckle them with a cup, so as not to hurt people by crawling around." ”

"Well, that's a good idea." Su Jinyao raised her eyebrows, feeling that Gu Xuebin was really smart, and the crown prince (diàn) was not in vain.

Then, Su Jinyao began to open the grass blade tubes, ready to find out if there were any Gu worms that she needed that could make medicines.

The first blade of grass opened, and it was empty, with only a very small amount of brown potion still on the leaves.

Su Jinyao spread her hands helplessly and said, "This one only ate my medicine and ran away." Then he opened two more, and they were still empty.

At this moment, Aunt Ma couldn't bear it anymore, and asked anxiously, "What should I do if I can't find that kind of Gu worm?" Otherwise, Miss Liu, you can make a few more grass blade tubes now, let Qing'er bring them over, and put them in the courtyard of the noble people. We wait slowly, collect slowly, and we can always find it. ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "At night, when Gu worm activities are more frequent, if you can't catch insects, then you won't be able to do it for half a day." And the smell of ambergris is very special, which will attract other bugs. If there are too many insects and they are finally discovered, wouldn't it be a surprise to the snakes. ”

Speaking of this, Su Jinyao suddenly thought of a question. Why did the queen mother have poisonous hair, but the emperor never showed up?

And Aunt Ma saw with her own eyes that she was putting Gu in the courtyard of the Yu Guiren, if she could also find the Gu worms used in medicine because of this, it would be equivalent to proving that it was the Yu Guiren who released the Gu to harm the Queen Mother, why are the Queen Mother and Aunt Ma still so calm now?

Shouldn't he be aggressive to settle accounts with the nobles, and order the emperor to put the nobles into the cold palace, or simply raid the Feng family and investigate the poisoning of the crown prince Gu Xuebin?

Thinking of the injustice on Gu Xuebin's face just now, and his reluctance to let Su Jinyao mention the matter of the noble people (qíng) now, Su Jinyao felt that she had finally caught something.

It seems that the palace gate is as deep as the sea, and the palace is chaotic. No matter what you see, you should have a plan in your heart, everything cannot be revealed, and shēn is the most important.

Although Su Jinyao's heart turned a thousand times, she was quite scheming and did not show it. Still maintaining the movements of his hands, his face is as usual. Only when she looked at Gu Xuebin, she gestured with her eyes slightly, indicating that she knew it in her heart.

Aunt Ma heard Su Jinyao say that the long-term method of finding Gu worms could not be used, so she was also anxious about whether the rest of the grass blades would contain Gu worms, so her eyes kept staring at Su Jinyao.

Fortunately, there was a slight movement in the fourth leaf tube, Su Jinyao just picked it up in her hand, and the leaf was pushed by the things inside, it seemed that the things inside were still very fresh, and it was estimated that he was a master who was not easy to mess with, and his temper was relatively violent.

Su Jinyao looked up at Gu Xuebin again, and he had already held a cup steady, and it seemed that he was ready to detain the insect as soon as something went wrong.

Su Jinyao also used her mind to communicate with her Divine Gu King, and ordered the Divine Gu King to come out immediately, in case this Gu was difficult to deal with.

When Su Jinyao unfolded the blade of grass, a strange-looking red insect crawled out. A pair of antennae are bent, a pair of crows of different sizes, and a forked tail is dragged behind (shēn), like a heavenly cow and a hermit crab, anyway, I have never seen such a worm.

Although the Queen Mother was tortured at this time, she kept looking at this side because of curiosity. After seeing this bug, he was surprised and asked, "This is the legendary Gu?" ”

"Yes. However, this Gu worm is not poisonous, it just looks weird. In fact, Gu is a kind of hybrid bug, only a few strange bugs will have poison (xìng), and highly poisonous Gu worms are very few. Therefore, it is not easy to practice Gu, and it takes more effort to practice a Gu worm with strong poison (xìng). People who release Gu either have a special purpose, or they are just too bored, so they will do this kind of thing that costs people and money, and the gains outweigh the losses (qíng). ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she grabbed the strange-looking Gu worm and put it in the palm of her hand. Although the insect had tentacles and turtles, it crawled around in Su Jinyao's palm very obediently, and it didn't bite at all.

However, just as Su Jinyao was teasing this bug, the Divine Gu King suddenly moved. Before Su Jinyao came back to her senses, she flapped her little wings, rushed to one of the grass blade tubes, and gnawed on it.

"Miss Liu, your bugs are hungry too." Aunt Ma remembered that Su Jinyao had said that she hadn't let this Divine Gu King out to play for a long time, so as soon as it was released, she would go to find her friends, so she thought that the Divine Gu King was out of control because she was hungry or playful.

But when Su Jinyao saw this scene, she immediately became nervous, put down the insect in her hand, walked over quickly and pressed the grass blade tube, and at the same time took the Divine Gu King back into the palm of her hand.

For a while, the atmosphere was inexplicably tense, and the room was silent and quiet.

An extremely small "click" sound came, it was the sound of the blade of grass being gnawed in Su Jinyao's hand. Immediately, a few wisps of cyan smoke suddenly appeared from the cracks in the grass blade tube.

Su Jinyao immediately ordered the Divine Gu King with her intentions and took a bite in her hand.

The Divine Gu King got Su Jinyao's order and bit her palm with one bite, and the blood immediately flowed out.

Gu Xuebin was originally nervously watching the movement here, and when he saw the blood in Su Jinyao's hand and was about to step forward, Su Jinyao immediately shouted: "Stand back, I said just now, no matter what, it's indecent." ”

"But Jinyao ......" Gu Xuebin wanted to say something, but when he saw Su Jinyao's unusually serious expression (qíng), he shook the cup in his hand, took two steps back, and protected the queen mother's phoenix (chuáng).

Aunt Ma is also nervous, she is usually only responsible for serving the queen mother in the palace, and she doesn't have to do any work, so she is bored. Today, I suddenly saw so many strange things (qíng), worried, surprised, and a little anticipating at the same time.

Su Jinyao couldn't care about anything else, how nervous others were was not as clear as she was in her heart, but this time she was in big trouble, and she met another Divine Gu King!!

The so-called "one mountain does not tolerate two tigers", this truth is also applicable among Gu worms. The more powerful the Gu worm, the more they want to monopolize resources.

And the Gu Ben (shēn) also became more and more poisonous after devouring each other, so just now Su Jinyao's Divine Gu King discovered an unusual (qíng) situation, so he directly pounced here.

The pale cyan smoke that came out just now was Gu poison, which made Su Jinyao realize that the Gu contained in it was so powerful that it atomized the toxins in her body.

In other words, Su Jinyao wanted her Divine Gu King to secrete toxins, and she also had to feed them continuously with blood. And the Divine Gu King in front of him, the toxins in his body have accumulated to a certain extent, which is a certain gap.

The blood in Su Jinyao's palm kept coming out, overflowing from the palm of her hand, and slowly dripping onto the corner of the table. And the blades of grass she held down moved even more violently. It's as if the contents are ready to burst out at any moment.

"Jinyao, what can I do for you?" Gu Xuebin still couldn't help but ask. In his eyes, every drop of blood that Su Jinyao shed was like a knife cut in his heart.

Su Jinyao's eyes were always staring at the blades of grass, and she said calmly: "No, I can still deal with it." Master has taught me how to subdue the Divine Gu King, and if I'm lucky, I can use it to my advantage. ”

Su Jinyao said "if you are lucky", of course, there may be bad luck, but Su Jinyao does not intend to explain.

Among the few people here, except for her, no one can drive Gu. And this powerful guy was provoked by herself, so she couldn't make any mistakes, so as not to affect others.

Gu Xuebin had no choice but to continue to wait quietly. But he had already made up his mind that he must not let Su Jinyao be in any danger.

The imperial grandmother's Gu poison had not yet been resolved, and he couldn't watch Su Jinyao get injured again. Isn't that a loss-making deal?

Just when everyone's eyes were staring at the ordinary blade of grass rolled into a tube under Su Jinyao's hand, the Divine Gu King, who had been reacting strongly, finally appeared.
