Zhou Ci has been waiting for Tao Tao's hand injury to heal these days, summoning him over to treat him.

No, as soon as he heard that Tao Tao was looking for him, he immediately stopped teaching Li Yue to recognize medicinal herbs, and hurriedly followed the guards.

It wasn't until he realized that Tao Tao asked him to come not to treat him now, but to have something to ask him.

As a result, most of the expectations in his heart disappeared in an instant, but because his illness could only be cured by Tao Tao, he could only carefully hide his disappointment and try to calm himself.

"What does the princess want to know? Please tell the princess directly, if the grass people know, they will definitely not hide anything from the princess. ”

"You can take a look at this first." Tao Tao didn't procrastinate, and handed over the ancient books in his hand to Zhou Ci, it was too time-consuming to explain, so it was better to let Zhou Ci read it himself.

Zhou Cihu suspiciously took the ancient book handed by Tao Tao, lowered his eyes to look at the place where the ancient book was opened, and after a while, he raised his eyes to look at Tao Tao in dismay.

"Does the princess mean that the grass people brought this before is the pearl devourer?"

"That's right!" Tao Tao nodded without hesitation.

The next moment, Zhou Cizhi knelt down directly for Tao Tao-

"Princess Mingjian! Cao Min didn't know that it was a devouring pearl at all, and he didn't deliberately bring it to the prince! "If this is really determined that he deliberately murdered King Qi, he is covered with a mouth, and it can't be explained!

Zhou Ci didn't wait for Tao Tao to speak, so he broke out in a cold sweat first, for fear that he would hear the princess's order the next moment and let people drag him out to deal with it.

"Get up, don't be nervous, this princess didn't say that you deliberately brought the devouring pearl to the prince." Tao Tao gave Lu Zheng a look and motioned for him to go up and help the person up.

As soon as Lu Zheng moved, Zhou Ci stood up in panic first, and his body was full of temptation: "Then the princess let the grass people see these things?" ”

"It's just to ask if you have any impression of this thing, you also know that that thing is now in the prince's body, if you can't find its source, there's no way to determine how to solve it, the prince is really in trouble, you and I can't please it."

Tao Tao looked like 'what this princess said was the truth, but she didn't scare you', and it was even more bluffing to look at it.

"This, please let the princess think about it." Zhou Ci was frightened by such Tao Tao, and immediately wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, desperately collecting those memories of the past in his mind, trying to find out the memories of the pearl from the memory.

He is a medicine merchant, and he has seen a lot of rare medicinal materials when he travels north and south, such a special thing as devouring pearls, even if he has never seen it and can't recognize it, he should have heard rumors about it.

Zhou Ci, calm down, think about it, you will definitely be able to remember!

Half an hour passed, a quarter of an hour passed, half an hour passed......

Tao Tao frowned and was about to wait impatiently, but Zhou Ci's face finally changed!

"The grass people remembered! Princess, the grass people finally remembered! Zhou Ci couldn't hide his excitement, he finally remembered, he shouldn't have been killed, right?

Tao Tao couldn't cry or laugh, "You said it when you remembered it, if you don't say it, how does this princess know what you remember?" ”

"Oh yes, the grass people are too excited to forget, princess forgive me." Zhou Ci scratched his head very embarrassed, until he saw the impatience in the princess's eyes, he suddenly shook his head and got back to business.

"When the grass people once went to the Western Regions, I heard from the people over there that the devouring beads can devour all the toxins, but there are also disadvantages, that is, the detoxification with the devouring beads must be drawn out in time with the heavenly herbs, otherwise it will never be able to be drawn out again!"

"Why can't you tell you anymore, did you hear them?" Tao Tao frowned, since something existed, it was impossible to lead it out.

If there is such a situation, it can only be that the conditions for elimination are too harsh and they can't do it, so they directly think that there is no way to elicit it.

Zhou Ci thought about it again before he said: "It seems that they are saying that after the swallowing bead enters the human body, it will circle around the human body, and then the eggs hidden in it will hatch, and then there will be no way to get it out." ”

"The bugs know that the basis of their survival is the devouring beads, so they will hide the devouring beads well and not be discovered by anyone, and the devouring beads have the protection of the bugs, and it doesn't matter what temptation it is."

"That's why you can't get it out?" Tao Tao understood, but she would rather she didn't understand.

Because the result is no different from what she doesn't know what to do.

Zhou Ci nodded, "In my memory, that's exactly what they said. ”

"This princess knows, you go down." Tao Tao pinched her eyebrows, but she still couldn't bypass the flash, it was really unlucky!

Zhou Ci obediently turned around and raised his feet and walked out, and when he reached the door, he felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but stop and turned back to look at Tao Tao.

"What??" Tao Tao found that Zhou Ci was looking at her, and she didn't leave, so she raised her eyebrows in surprise, he felt that she didn't say anything to him, so he was uneasy?

Zhou Ci hesitated and asked, "The princess really doesn't blame the grass people for bringing such a tricky thing here and harming the prince?" ”

"Is it useful to blame you?" Tao Tao waved his hand angrily, "Since it's useless to blame anyone, what are you to blame?" ”

"Incompetent people always want to blame others for things they can't do."

Speech: "......"

"The princess is not as smart as we are, if the princess has any needs, she can speak."

"Don't worry, this princess will not be polite to you." Tao Tao was stupid to push a possible help out.

Zhou Ci was immediately relieved, turned around and continued to leave with his feet raised.

After a while, Zhou Ciren disappeared from Tao Tao's sight.

Lu Zheng glanced at the princess and waited for the princess's next order.

After a while, he heard the princess say with a little helplessness and disgust: "Go and bring the mountain ghost over." ”

Anyway, if you can't get around this person, then let's fight quickly, there's no point in delaying it any longer.

"Yes." Lu Zheng turned around and went to take someone with a look of 'sure enough'.

The mountain ghost was injured in both legs, no one treated him, even if he woke up at this time, he couldn't do anything, he could only wait, when Lu Zheng came to take him away, he had no ability to resist at all, so he could only be taken away.

When he arrived at the place, it was different from the torture hall he imagined was for his life, not only was it different, but he also saw Tao Tao.

In a flash of light, the mountain ghost quickly understood what was going on, and the pain in his legs didn't stop him from smirking at Tao Tao.

"The old man has already said it, the old man is the only one in this world who understands the pearl, you have to beg the old man sooner or later, if you guess correctly, something has happened to the king of Qi now, right?"
