Chapter 176: Lurking in the East Palace
Unlike the noisy Ripple Palace, the East Palace is exceptionally quiet.
He Miao has long heard of this prince of the East Palace, and heard that he is gentle and virtuous, simple and kind, and there are only three concubines in the East Palace, and the furnishings are very simple.
At the moment, it seems that this is indeed the case, most of the rooms are dark, only a few rooms are lit up, and a few people stand in the courtyard to watch and ask.
The rest of the people hid quietly in the house, and no one came out to wander around and ask questions.
This is convenient for He Miao, but she never dares to underestimate any enemy, and she is extremely cautious in her actions.
According to the topographic map of the East Palace provided by Yuanzi, she successfully found the storehouse.
Pull the window open, jump into the room, and be careful to close the window to erase the marks.
Prick up your ears and listen to the movement, make sure that it is okay, and then light the fire sickle.
It is a storeroom for storing cloth and satin, etc., which is perfect for hiding in such cold weather.
He Miao successfully set up a nest in the depths of the warehouse, picked an inconspicuous but very comfortable cotton cloth as a base, dragged some fur coats on it, put his father down, comfortably made him a pillow, and then covered the fur fur.
Seeing his father's stable appearance, He Miao was satisfied, smiled and lay down beside him, snuggled up to him, and let out a long breath.
At this time, she felt that she was tired, her legs trembled, and her back hurt.
She poked He Lingyi's stomach lightly and whispered, "I really don't know what's in it, why is this happening"
She remembered Little Red.
There is a Zi Gu in Xiao Hong's belly, and when the Zi Gu is about to mature, Xiao Hong has a big belly and is overwhelmed, and suddenly falls into a coma.
She was shocked into a cold sweat, could it be that Daddy is also a Gu in his belly?
If you don't wake up like this, is it also because Zi Gu is mature and is about to break out of her body?
If that's the case, Daddy is in danger.
He Miao put his hand on He Lingyi's pulse to confirm that he had indeed been poisoned.
Gu worms parasitize and grow in the host's body, robbing the host's energy and secreting venom at the same time, causing the host to fall unconscious.
If you want the host to save your life, you must find a way to get together the tools and medicines to take out the Gu worms, and before the Gu worms take the host's life, the Gu worms will be lured out, and then carefully recuperate for a few more years before the host can gradually recover.
As long as there is a slight difference in the middle, it may cause the host to die early, and then the Gu worms will harm the person who takes the Gu.
Everything about Gu insects, He Lingyi had taught their sisters and brothers in the past, but He Miao was only talking on paper, not actually operating, and had no experience.
She was drenched in a cold sweat and felt more stressed than ever.
She wanted to run out and get her tools right away, but tonight was too chaotic and she was too tired to be a good time.
She forced herself to be at peace, recalling over and over what her father had taught her about Gu worms.
"The woman is pregnant, the pregnancy is getting longer, the abdomen is gradually growing the midline of the abdomen, the Gu worm is parasitic, the same as the woman is pregnant, the belly is gradually growing, the center of the abdomen is gradually growing line, the mother Gu, the midline of the abdomen is rouge, the child Gu, the midline of the abdomen is brown.
If you want to save the host's life, you should pour medicinal wine into the host's body, light the Gu incense, and then cover the host's abdomen with a hot towel.
After a stick of incense, a special jade tube with bait is stuffed into the host's mouth, and then the host's ears and nose are stuffed with jade plugs, and the eyes are bound with silk satin soaked in medicine.
Gu insects can't stand the heat on the outside, can't be stable when they are tormented by medicinal wine inside, and if they are tempted by fragrance, they will take the initiative to crawl out.
After catching the Gu worm, he refined it with medicine, put it into the body of the person he wanted to manipulate, and kept the mother Gu for himself, and from then on, if he wanted to let it live, he would make it live, and if he wanted it to die, he would let it die."
Dad spoke in detail and seriously at the time, and gave them examples, mentioning Mu Xi, the Kunlun Sect Envoy in the past.
At the beginning, Mu Xi had to be controlled by his father because he had a child Gu in his stomach, and because he wanted to get rid of the control, he set up a poison plan and finally took the mother Gu from his father.
It's a pity that Mu Xi didn't find a way to take out Zi Gu until he died, and finally died in the hands of the mother Gu.
If Zi Gu has not matured, or has not been refined with medicine, Xiaohong's situation will occur.
He Miao remembered Baiqi, and Baiqi had the Zigu taken from Xiaohong's body in his hand, which showed that he knew at least a little bit of Gu cultivation techniques.
It will take a long time to find those medicines and utensils by yourself, so it is better to send a letter to Yuanzi and ask Yuanzi to get the things in Baiqi's hand, which is the easiest way.
The seedlings stayed awake all night.
She didn't know whether it was the mother Gu or the child Gu in He Lingyi's belly, and she didn't know when it would mature and when it would break out.
She was scared, always worried that she would fall asleep and her father would die.
She held He Lingyi's hand tightly and whispered: "Dad, you must hold back, you must persevere, you don't know the news of Daosui, and you haven't gone home to see your mother, because of you, your mother has aged a lot and has grown gray hair." ”
He Lingyi lay quietly, her breathing so light that she could barely feel it.
He Miao leaned on him and burst into tears.
When she was very attached to her parents when she was a child, and when she wanted to love them very much, she often promised that when she grew up, she would buy them this and that, cook a lot of delicious food, go out with them, and so on.
But when she really grew up and could take charge on her own, they were old, and her father couldn't see or hear.
She was right there for him, and he didn't know anything.
The night was extraordinarily long.
Every moment is an ordeal.
He Miao forced herself to sleep for a while, she told herself that so many days have passed, and nothing has happened to her father, and Emperor Jingzhong hid him in the palace of the concubine, and he will definitely be recuperated and suppressed with medicine, otherwise they will not take the risk.
There is no shortage of her this night, she should maintain and replenish her physical strength to facilitate her next move.
But she couldn't help but worry, what if Daddy should take medicine tonight?
In the midst of anxiety, there was a strange movement outside.
She got up nervously, felt the window, clenched her soft sword, and listened carefully.
There was a faint sound of footsteps, and more than one, and then, the sound of unlocking.
Next door is a small storeroom for valuables such as medicines and money, and most of the people who can come here in the middle of the night to get things are useful henchmen.
He Miao listened carefully, what was it that could make the people of the East Palace go to the warehouse in the middle of the night to pick up things?
There was a soft sound of "ding", I don't know what fell to the ground, and a hoarse voice sounded suppressed: "Do you want to die?" It's a mess. ”
Another voice trembled and said, "I'm afraid that His Highness has shed a lot of blood, and there are assassins on the Ripple Palace."
The sound stopped abruptly, and there was only one footstep left, much heavier than before, and at the same time, there was the sound of the friction of dragging heavy objects.
He Miao shook his head, the poor fellow had said the wrong thing, and his courage was removed again.
