149 Butterfly Gu
"Are you unwell?" Ignoring Ruotang's ridicule, Zhou Liangyun hurriedly dragged Lu Zhengqing over, "Why didn't you say it earlier, I was still running around when I was not feeling well, and I couldn't trust others." Wouldn't it be okay for someone to send a letter and ask your brother-in-law to go to the palace? It's freezing on this day, in case it aggravates the condition, there is a time for you to cry! β
Ruotang smiled and enjoyed Zhou Liangyun's concerned nagging, and didn't feel annoyed at all, and only then did he put his hand on it when Lu Zhengqing handed over the pulse pillow, and didn't forget to comfort Shen Youhe, who was also anxious, "It's not a big problem, it's just that I was dizzy when I got up in the morning." β
Shen Youhe was not appeased, and nervously tugged at the quilt on his body. The little brow is locked.
Zhou Liangyun held Ruotang's shoulder, looked at Lu Zhengqing's serious pulse, and his fingers unconsciously used force. Ruotang originally wanted to tease her for a few words, but when he turned his head, he saw that the corners of her mouth were tight. looks like her whole body is tense, where do you dare to make a noise to provoke her.
After a while, Lu Zhengqing let go of his hand, looked at Ruotang strangely, and said, "Your pulse is calm and gentle, fluent and powerful, and there is nothing wrong with it." As I said before, winter is the time to take supplements, and I think you have done a good job, but you still have a weak foundation, but now you are no different from ordinary people-"
Seeing that Ruotang not only did not show a smile, but also frowned, Lu Zhengqing couldn't help but say curiously: "Why don't you talk about your symptoms, maybe I'm not good at learning......"
Ruotang pursed his lips before he smiled and looked at Lu Zhengqing, who was a little uneasy, "It's not my brother-in-law's problem." The doctor next to me also said that I was in good health and there was no problem, and it seemed that I was thinking too much. But brother-in-law, I have one more thing to trouble you hereβ"
As she spoke, she reached out to take out the handkerchief in her sleeve pocket, but she felt empty.
Obviously it was placed here.
Ruotang didn't believe in evil and touched it again. Originally, the handkerchief that wanted to ask Lu Zhengqing to identify was gone!
"Picking green!" Ruotang called urgently.
"Mother?"
"Where's my veil? Did you put it away? β
"Veil?" Cai Qing knew after a little thought, "Didn't you keep that handkerchief?" Gone? Xu fell on the carriage, and the slave and maid went to look for it. β
Cai Qing hurriedly went.
Zhou Liangyun saw Ruotang frowning, sat back in the chair with a dazed and depressed expression, and asked puzzledly, "What kind of veil is so important?" β
"That's it." Ruotang didn't seem to hear her question, so he was out of his mind and muttered, "He doesn't want me to know, so don't know." β
The so-called health soup. I can't kill her. What's more, even if Chu Qianlan really wanted her life, there was no need to be so troublesome, just like when he wiped out the group of flower-like beauties in the Changchun Pavilion, he could kill her by just getting an assassin, why not use a soft knife to sharpen the knife, not to mention wasting effort, he had to perform deep love in front of her, he was not such a patient person.
What's more, can he play his heart for her?
If even that can be performed, Chu Qianlan will also perform everyone!
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Liangyun couldn't hide her worry.
Ruotang came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's nothing, but I thought of a small thing, nothing important - I saw that the red lanterns were hung outside, and then I felt that the end of the year was really approaching." Can you buy all the New Year's goods and the like? This is your first year in the capital, and you must have a lively and prosperous life. β
"Do you still have to say that?" Zhou Liangyun glanced at her, "It just so happens that you are here, so we can save us from running again, go back later, and bring back the New Year's gift prepared for you - I can tell you, most of the good things that my grandfather sent to Jiangnan are yours, you go back and sort it out, don't hide it, I and your brother-in-law still have to raise a younger brother." β
"Got it, got it." Ruotang pretended to be impatient, "Is there any interest for you, you also worry about what my grandfather gave me, don't treat me as a three-year-old child, whoever my grandfather falls behind, he will definitely not fall behind you." Don't hide your secrets, take me to your place and see what's good. β
"Let's go, let's go, I know that as soon as you come, my little warehouse will be lost." Although she complained like this, Zhou Liangyun took Ruotang to her house next door with a smile.
After the two of them went next door, Zhou Houyuan avoided everyone and pulled Lu Zhengqing aside to speak, "Sister Tang'er's body is really fine?" β
Lu Zhengqing touched his head suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I can be sure that there is no problem with the pulse, and looking at her complexion, she is also ruddy and bright, and her mental state is also very good, not like a sick person." But ......"
"But what?" Zhou Houyuan asked.
"But for some reason, Ah Tang always felt that he was sick, on the day of my wedding to Xiaoyun, Ah Tang also asked me to diagnose her pulse, saying that I felt uncomfortable, but after I diagnosed, I still didn't find any problems. This time, I asked her what her symptoms were, and she didn't say anything...... Maybe my medical skills are not good, otherwise, I will visit the master and ask the master to diagnose Ah Tang's pulse? β
"Your master often says that you are already blue." Zhou Houyuan patted him on the shoulder thoughtfully, "Okay, you don't care about this, I have my own plans." Tell Sister Yun and let her stay at home for a meal before going back. β
After that, he hurriedly took the big opening and went out.
β¦β¦
Chu Qianlan stayed in the Qingqiu Courtyard, with a stack of books of different thicknesses in front of him, he was burying his head in it, not caring about the dust accumulated on the books, and reading ten lines at a glance.
Wanru brought refreshments in: "Lord Wang, you've been watching for a long time, use some pastries and rest your eyes." β
Chu Qianlan didn't raise her head, only waved her hand. But suddenly I remembered something, "What's going on?" β
Wanru reached out and found something in her sleeve pocket, and presented her hands in front of Chu Qianlan, it was the handkerchief that Ruotang "lost", "Jixiang stole it." β
Chu Qianlan's cold gaze paused on the handkerchief, and said in an indifferent tone: "Burn it." β
"Yes." Wan Ru responded, but stood still and didn't move, "Lord, the princess has become suspicious, this time it won't work, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be a next time, it's better to tell her, and save her from suspicion of you." β
"Is it good for her to let her live in panic and despair all day long?" Chu Qianlan glanced at Wanru coldly, "Rather than that, this king would rather her be suspicious." β
"The slave just thinks that you have done so much for the princess, you should let her know......" Wanru lowered her head.
"Shut up." Chu Qianlan frowned and stopped her, "Don't let this king hear these words again in the future." β
What he did for her was what he was willing to do, and he didn't want to take these things to ask for credit, what is there to say!
At this time, there was a maid who had something to tell her, Wanru hurriedly walked over, listened for a while, then sent the maid away, walked forward by herself, and said, "Lord Wang, the little uncle of the Zhou family is here." β
Chu Qianlan raised her head with a little doubt, "Zhou Houyuan? β
"Yes." Wanru was also puzzled: "The princess arrived at Zhou's house early in the morning, why did he come over instead?" β
Chu Qianlan closed the book in her hand, "Please come over." β
He must have come here to look for him.
Zhou Houyuan was quickly invited, Chu Qianlan smiled faintly, did not get up, only looked at him and said, "The princess went to Furen Hutong early in the morning, why did the uncle come over instead?" β
Zhou Houyuan's brows couldn't help jumping, he pursed the corners of his mouth, and sat down in front of him, "The prince is the same size as the grass people, and this kind of name really makes the grass people a little unbearable." β
Chu Qianlan took a moment to push the teacup in front of him, and said with a smile: "You are the princess's brother-in-law, it is reasonable, this king should also call you so, what is it difficult to bear." β
Zhou Houyuan's eyes fell on the stack of books in front of him, and when he saw the words on it clearly, his heart jumped heavily, "The prince is interested in the Gu art of the Wu clan for no reason?" β
The smile on Chu Qianlan's face disappeared suddenly, she only pursed her lips, looked at Zhou Houyuan with a faint expression, and did not answer his question.
Zhou Houyuan's breathing seemed to be short, and his eyes slowly narrowed, "Is it Sister Tang?" β
"Yes." Chu Qianlan didn't hesitate, "She doesn't know. β
Zhou Houyuan's back suddenly fell to the back of the chair, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Chu Qianlan didn't speak, and in this inexplicably suppressed and tense silence, she lowered her eyes and looked at the book again.
"You didn't tell Sister Tang, but you were willing to let me know about it?" It took a while for Zhou Houyuan to find his voice.
"The more people who know, the more hope there is. Uncle, you go south and north, whether it is knowledge or connections, ordinary people can't match, maybe you can do something. Chu Qianlan looked at him with a sincere face, "If I don't tell the princess the reason, others may not understand, but you will definitely be able to understand it, uncle." β
He can not tell Ruotang what he has done for her and what kind of suffering he has suffered, and he can bear all this silently. But Zhou Houyuan is different, this is her brother-in-law and her relatives. If one day, she has an estrangement with him because of this incident, there is a knowing relative she trusts who can defend him.
Zhou Houyuan is smart and cunning, and when it comes to ruthlessness and means, he may not be worse than him. Just like this time Ruotang was poisoned in his body, the rest of the Zhou family had not yet found out the clues, but he had already found the door. And he also believes that with Zhou Houyuan's care and love for Ruotang, even if he knows about this matter, he will hide Ruotang from others like him.
Because they all value her equally.
Zhou Houyuan looked at Chu Qianlan fixedly.
Chu Qianlan calmly let him look at it.
In the end, Zhou Houyuan sighed lightly: "Is it Gu poison or Gu worm?" β
"Gu worms."
"What Gu?"
"Butterfly Gu."
Zhou Houyuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "It won't happen immediately." β
Chu Qianlan's eyebrows moved, "You know? β
"I've heard that this kind of Gu generally has a two-year growth period, as long as it can inhibit its growth, prevent it from swimming towards the heart vein, and find a way to get it out within a time, it will not endanger your life and damage your body. Right? Zhou Houyuan replied calmly. I'll just ask you, who did it? β
His voice was very light, as if he didn't have any emotion, but the eyebrows that suddenly moved were cold and murderous!
"That person doesn't have to worry about the uncle, this king will take care of it." Chu Qianlan also had a faint voice, and in front of Zhou Houyuan, who was full of murderous aura, her brows didn't move, "Since my uncle knows this thing, is there any way to get this thing out?" β
"Humph!" Zhou Houyuan snorted coldly, "I really can't think of any other way except for the Gu cultivators!" The prince talked about him left and right, and refused to tell him who poisoned Sister Tang, didn't he want to protect the person who harmed my Sister Tang? β
Chu Qianlan said with a straight face: "If you can, this king can't hate to slash her, but ...... The princess's life is at stake, and this king has to keep her! β
"Since this person is in your hands, why do you still ask me for a way?" Zhou Houyuan narrowed his dark eyes suspiciously.
"This is a deal between me and her, I will allow her for two years, and after two years, she will draw out the butterfly Gu in the princess's body." Chu Qianlan didn't hide it, "Uncle doesn't have to waste his energy on her, she won't compromise any torture and questioning." I can only keep her, but I don't want to be restrained by her, so I will try to find a way to restrain that butterfly Gu. Although the butterfly Gu will not hurt its life before it grows up, if it is not suppressed well, it will still damage the body. β
Zhou Houyuan grabbed the top book, and flipped through it twice in annoyance, "Lord Xiang, I don't care what your relationship is with the person who dared to attack Sister Tang, and what kind of deal you made." I'll just tell you, if I find out that person, don't blame me for all the tricks I use on that person! β
Chu Qianlan's eyebrows froze, "Okay." β
Zhou Houyuan couldn't be angry in the end, so he turned the book in his hand twice and threw it out directly, looking at Chu Qianlan coldly, "You have no other way?" Do you want to watch Sister Tang survive these two years? β
"I heard that the Huangfu Divine Doctor is from the Wu clan that has disappeared, and this king has sent someone to find him, and some news has come back at present, but his exact location has not been found yet. Uncle doesn't need to be anxious, now he uses the blood of this king as an introduction to nourish the Gu worms in her body, which can temporarily restrain the Gu worms from wandering. "Sluggish island garbage.
"Nourished by your blood?" Zhou Houyuan's expression eased slightly, "What's so strange about your blood?" β
"I've been in the Valley of the Dead for a while, and the people there, my uncle must have heard of it." Chu Qianlan's expression did not change at all as if she was mentioning the affairs of others, "In order to control me, or to better practice their crooked and evil kung fu, I have taken a lot of poisons. I've checked, and the Gu worms in the princess's body like this kind of blood the most. β
Zhou Houyuan's gaze paused on his bandaged wrist, and he felt that the fire in his heart had calmed down a little, "In this case, before there is no other way, you can nourish it well." β
