Chapter Ninety-One: Zhong Gu
It's definitely from the book again.。
Tangyuan Qixi remained silent.
Jun Xi touched his face with his hand, unexpectedly touched a hand of white powder, and said to Babao: "Well, then let's do it." But...... Don't read my idle books. ”
What should I do?
The three maidservants expressed confusion.
The corners of Jun Xi's lips hooked a not very obvious arc, "Spread the net a little bigger, even if you can't catch big fish, you have to catch some small fish!" ”
The news of Jun Xi's serious injury and dying has been released, and the people of the palace think that the big tree in the palace is about to fall, and everyone is in danger. The main force of the Chiyun Cavalry was so justifiably stationed in the palace.
For a while, the Zhenbei Wangfu was heavily guarded, and it was really impossible for even a fly to fly, and the subordinates were not allowed to leave the house if they had nothing to do, and even the kitchen to purchase ingredients had to be accompanied by someone from Chiyun Rider. After dark, the subordinates of the palace did not dare to take half a step out of the door.
This iron bucket-like defense makes those who want to find out the news have nothing to do, but they don't know that Jun Xi is trying to force them to jump off the wall in a hurry!
And at this moment, the rumored dying lord of Zhenbei Wang is playing with bored flower juice in his show building.
Her show building is not exquisite and gorgeous, the water-red curtain of the golden silk mixed with a hundred butterflies wearing patterns hangs down, and a half-person-high scorched wood phoenix tail is placed next to it, and a picture of the mountains and rivers with an embroidery work is hung on the opposite wall, I heard that it is the dowry of the princess.
According to the custom of Chu State, a woman must bring her own embroidered screen when she gets married, which means that if she gives birth to a daughter in her husband's house, then the daughter's embroidery must be outstanding.
So Junxi, who didn't have the skill of embroidery, felt very bitter every time she saw the majestic picture of mountains and rivers prepared for her by her mother.
Judging from the fine and solid stitches, her mother's embroidery must be very remarkable, and she heard that the queen mother's birthday was her birthday, and she specially asked her mother to help repair the longevity map. Junxi is very sad, why didn't she inherit this skill from her mother?
If she knew how to embroider, before Junchen set out for the expedition, she showed off something on his placket, and she felt that she was so virtuous and emotional.
"County Lord, why are you looking at that embroidered screen in a daze again?" Tang Yuan rumbled dissatisfiedly: "This flower juice has been grinded, just squeeze it out!" ”
"I just think the embroidery of the mother concubine is really good." Jun Xi replied, and picked aside the hibiscus flower with the brightest color and purest petals in the mortar.
Her fingers were slender and white as jade, and when she stirred among the bright red petals, she was stunningly beautiful.
"County Lord, your hands are so beautiful." Tang Yuan exclaimed.
Jun Xi smiled, and used silk cloth to force out the flower juice in the petals, but his eyes once again swept over the mountain and river embroidery screen: "Aren't the embroidered screens brought by ordinary women all flowers and plants?" The embroidered screen that my mother prepared for me is also too atmospheric. ”
Tang Yuan tilted his head and looked at it, and then smiled: "Because the princess knows that the county lord is not an ordinary person!" ”
Jun Xi but smiled silently, she is the most annoying embroidery on weekdays, rarely comes to this show, naturally she has not seen this embroidery screen much, she used to see it and will not think much about it, today she came to this show on a whim to tease rouge, the first time she saw this embroidery screen felt weird, but she couldn't say what was weird.
She cleaned her hands in the basin next to her, dried them on the cotton cloth again, took a small porcelain vase and was about to put the flower juice in it, but Babao came in a hurry, saying that Aunt Mo had brought back the concubine.
"So fast?" Jun Xi was extremely satisfied with Chiyun Qi's efficiency, and he was in no mood to tease rouge, "Where did you find the side concubine?" ”
Babao didn't know why, his face was a little pale, "I found it in the south of the city, and there were people on the way who wanted to rob the side concubine, we originally wanted to leave a few living mouths and let him confess to the mastermind behind the scenes, but those people seemed to be dead, and they all killed themselves." ”
"Like?" Jun Xi's eyes were half raised, and the slightly drooping eyelashes fell a shadow on his eyelids, which inexplicably felt a little more oppressive.
As if remembering something, Babao's face turned a little pale, "When we caught those people who wanted to rob the side concubine, we suddenly heard a whistle, and then those people in black burst their blood vessels and died......"
The extremely bloody scene made people like Babao who were used to seeing life and death a little disgusted.
Blood vessels burst and died, this is really bizarre, the average dead man hides poison in his teeth, and once he is caught, he will take poison and commit suicide.
What kind of drugs can burst blood vessels in an instant?
The side concubine was found in the south of the city, and the doctor and the medical hall were also in the south of the city, and her intuition told Jun Xi that there must be some connection between the two, and she said: "Arrest the doctor of the medical hall in the south of the city!" ”
Babao nodded, "We went to the medical hall in the south of the city to have a look, and the building was already empty. ”
Run! It's very important to know the times.
Jun Xi raised his feet and walked out: "As long as the side concubine is there, she can also identify the mastermind behind the scenes!" ”
Babao followed Jun Xi and hesitated a few times and said, "The side concubine is in the firewood room...... Not in good condition. ”
Hearing this, Jun Xi glanced back at Babao.
Not in good condition?
So what's not going to be?
When Junxi saw the firewood room slumped into a lump, he finally knew why Babao's face turned pale.
She hated the side concubine, but when she saw the side concubine's inhuman and ghostly appearance, she couldn't say what she felt in her heart.
The side concubine's face was bruised, under the flesh and skin, the blood vessels burst out, and she could even see maggots wriggling in her body, soft white small insects crawled out of her ears and nose from time to time, and the side concubine herself writhed like maggots.
She seemed to be in extreme pain, scratching her body constantly, scratching her skin to a bloody blur, and the soft white worms crawled out of her wound and rolled to the ground......
Seeing Jun Xi, she seemed to want to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she could only let out a beast-like whine.
A hand that was scratched bloody by herself stretched out to Jun Xi.
Jun Xi wanted to step forward, but as soon as she took a step, she was grabbed by Aunt Mo's arm, "Don't go over, county lord!" ”
Hearing that Aunt Mo's voice was different, Jun Xi couldn't help but turn his head to look at Aunt Mo, and found that Aunt Mo clenched her teeth tightly, and her eyes were a little red.
It is impossible for Aunt Mo to cry for a woman like the side concubine, and her intuition tells Jun Xi that things are not simple, she asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Jun Xi could feel that Aunt Mo was holding her hand, trembling.
What can make a person who has long put life and death aside from the knife to lick the blood feel fear?
"Gu! She has Gu on her! Aunt Mo gritted her teeth and shouted out this sentence, and there was a faint sliding of water under her eyes.
The battle at Yanmen Pass twelve years ago was Aunt Mo's lifelong nightmare.
The comrades who were born and died together, soft white seeds drilled out of their bodies, their blood vessels exploded, their faces were purple, they ate their own flesh and blood, and they ate their comrades raw...... That's purgatory on earth!
After so many years, seeing the soft white insect again, the fear lurking in the depths made this woman who had never changed color in front of the three armies panic.
Seeing that Junxi stopped, hatred flashed in the eyes of the side concubine, and she endured the severe pain and rolled on the ground a few times, still wanting to come over and pull the hem of Junxi's clothes.
As long as she touches her flesh and blood, as long as she touches her, the Gu worms on her body will sneak into Jun Xi's body!
As long as Jun Xi falls into the Gu, even if she completes the task, the Lord will give her the antidote!
Babao's eyes were quick, and he picked up a wooden stick next to him and opened the side concubine.
The moment the wooden stick touched the body of the concubine, a layer of fine sweat appeared in the palms of Babao's hands. When the stick touches, it doesn't look like a human body, but a bulging ball, the kind that can be softened when poked.
Is that still a person?
The bottom of the wooden stick that touched the side concubine's body was sticky, and there were already soft white insects that began to squirm and climb up.
It was dense, there were only a few at first, and somehow, in those sticky liquids, a lot of soft and white small insects suddenly came out.
Jun Xi saw that his scalp was numb, and he hurriedly shouted: "Babao, throw it away!" ”
Babao threw the stick far away with a flick of his hand.
The side concubine suddenly arched her whole person, screamed in extreme pain, and then the blood vessels on her body slowly burst open at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the red liquid was full of milky white insects!
Seeing that several people couldn't help but take a step back.
Aunt Mo calmed down and ordered, "Go to the kitchen and get realgar wine!" ”
Babao answered and went.
Jun Xi has only heard that realgar wine can repel snakes, and can also drive maggots from this body?
As soon as a question came to his mouth, he saw those tiny insects slowly twisting into a ...... Turned into a milky white little snake!
The goosebumps on Junxi's hands stood up visibly with the naked eye!
Are these disgusting things Gu!
In an instant, Jun Xi thought of his father who was locked in the ice cellar of the underground palace, Jun Chen said, his father also planted Gu!
Did my father suffer these things before? Tormented to death by those disgusting and sticky bugs?
Jun Xi's five fingers sank into his palm, and his eyes were terrifyingly silent: "Southern Xinjiang!" ”
She took out the porcelain bottle from her sleeve that she didn't have time to put down in time, plucked two hairpins from her head, endured the nausea, and picked up a soft white worm on the ground to put it into the small porcelain bottle.
The little worm that couldn't tell the head and tail was swollen ten times more than in an instant, and its round head was like a squinting and smiling doll, and its body was stretched as thin as silk threads, and it poked its head like a gentleman.
Jun Xi's pupils shrank, and he threw his hand to the side concubine, and at the same time, the person also retreated violently, which dodged the strange attack of the bug.
Aunt Mo was also frightened into a cold sweat, and grabbed Jun Xi's arm tightly: "County Lord, don't go over again, this Gu worm is very evil, unlike the Gu worm I saw in the army twelve years ago..."
"Realgar wine is here!" When Babao rushed to the firewood room with a jar of realgar wine, Junxi didn't need Aunt Mo to say, picked up a jar of realgar wine and spilled it all.
The wine with an obvious pungent taste was sprinkled on the little snake and the concubine, and both the concubine and the little snake twisted their bodies in pain, screaming and screaming.
Then the little soft white snake fell apart, and turned into countless tiny insects tumbling and crawling in the realgar wine, and Jun Xi's scalp was numb when he saw it, and he wished that a torch was thrown over and burned clean.
"Hehehe......"
A shrill whistle sounded, and ethereal laughter came through the night wind.
