Jiang Wanning followed Gu Zhouzhu and Xiao Yan to the imperial study, Xiao Yan said that the emperor was in good spirits today, and his heart didn't hurt anymore.

Jiang Wanning pondered, was it a reaction after the illness yesterday, but now that the Gu worm is dormant, there will be no reaction without the order of the Gu maker.

When they arrived at the imperial study, Gonggong Zhu stopped them with a worried expression.

"Second Highness, Lord Gu, Uncle Ning of Dashu is inside!"

"Coming to sue?" Xiao Yan frowned.

Gonggong Zhu nodded: "Lord Fang of Honglu Temple is scolding. Saying that, Gonggong Zhu looked at Gu Zhou: "Lord Gu, it's better not to see the emperor at this stall." Otherwise, a reprimand is indispensable.

Gu Zhou didn't care, was he reprimanded by the emperor less?

The three of them waited for a while, and Uncle Ning Huang and Master Fang of Honglu Temple came out.

Uncle Ning Huang glared at Gu Zhouzhu, his eyes were not eyes, and his nose was not nose.

Lord Fang came to Gu Zhouzhu and said with a bitter face: "I still hope that Lord Gu will catch that thief as soon as possible, otherwise, the next official will ...... Hey......"

Gu Zhouzhu said perfunctorily: "It must be." ”

After Uncle Ning Huang left, Jiang Wanning came out from behind Mo Yu.

She was afraid that Uncle Ning Huang would recognize her as the one who almost threw their mascot to death.

The three of them met the emperor.

The emperor asked slowly: "Gu Aiqing, has there been progress in the case?" ”

Gu Zhou stopped: "Back to the emperor, the thief has been found." ”

"Oh?" So fast? The emperor nodded with satisfaction, to say that among the younger generation of officials in the court, Gu Zhouzhu has the strongest ability to do things.

"Who is it?"

"Back to the emperor, this thief ...... He was sent by a minister. ”

The emperor was dumbfounded, thinking that he was hallucinating: "You said you sent it?" ”

"It was sent by the minister."

The emperor gritted his teeth: "Gu Zhou stop, Gu Zhou stop, which one are you singing?" ”

"Father, Lord Gu is here to investigate the case, Lord Jiang, you come here."

Jiang Wanning stepped forward and explained in detail the speculation after yesterday's diagnosis and the problems found today.

The emperor was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he couldn't believe it at all: "Jiang Aiqing, are you mistaken?" Lonely had a day off yesterday and was completely healed. ”

"Your Majesty, why did the Seventh Princess enter the palace to the banquet without bringing a personal maid, but with a grandmother who was not by her side at all, lived in the most remote post house and lived alone, and there were all kinds of poisonous insects hidden in this grandmother's cabinet. There's got to be weird. ”

"Chen's father and brother once went to Dashu to do business, heard a lot of things related to Gu arts, and saw someone accidentally offend a local woman with words, and felt uncomfortable afterwards, but the next day was fine, I didn't care, after more than ten days, suddenly my stomach hurt, I rolled all over the ground, I invited several doctors and couldn't see anything wrong, and I was hurt to death, after he died, there were small insects crawling out of his seven orifices, and everyone knew that he had been hit by Gu."

This is not Jiang Wanning's pure nonsense, it is indeed the story that her eldest brother Jiang Qiao told her after returning from Dashu, and then she exaggerated it a little.

Otherwise, how can it attract the attention of the emperor?

The people in the imperial study heard these words, and the whole person was not good, and they felt that there were thousands of insects crawling in their bodies, especially the emperor, who had been completely substituted into it, thinking that the insects crawled out of the seven orifices after his death, and the hair was upside down.

"Ginger...... Jiang Aiqing, don't be alarmist. ”

"The ministers don't dare, this Gu technique is extremely mysterious, it has always been passed from mother to daughter, never passed on, of course, they will not easily use Gu to harm people, it is said that if you don't get it right, it will backfire against the Gu maker, from the emperor's sudden illness, the inexplicable illness is cured again, and the unreasonable behavior of the seventh princess is indeed suspicious, and the emperor Rongchen is asked to diagnose again."

Xiao Yan also said: "Father, it is a matter of your safety, whether there is such a thing or not, you must pay attention to it." ”

The emperor was already frightened, and hurriedly said: "Jiang Aiqing, you take a good look at Gu, and take a closer look." ”

Father-in-law Zhu was waiting outside the door, and no one was allowed to approach.

The emperor took off his clothes and lay on the couch, Jiang Wanning not only checked the pulse this time, but focused on checking the emperor's internal organs, and touched it inch by inch.

Xiao Yan and Gu Zhou stopped aside, looking at Jiang Wanning nervously, and even lightened their breathing, for fear of disturbing her.

After checking it again, I still can't find the problem, maybe the Gu worm hasn't grown up yet, and it's still in the state of eggs, but yesterday the emperor had angina, which means that the Gu worm is doing something wrong in the body, maybe the Gu worm didn't receive the order of the Gu maker and is in a dormant state.

"Your Majesty, please allow the ministers to apply needles."

"Why?"

"Stimulated."

"Huh?"

Jiang Wanning had already taken out the silver needle and pierced it at the corresponding acupuncture points of each organ.

lungs, not responding.

Liver, did not respond.

Stomach, either.

Spleen, or not.

The intestines are not moving.

That's all there is to it.

Jiang Wanning closed her eyes, her spirit was already very tired after such a long and focused examination.

After taking a few deep breaths, Jiang Wanning opened her eyes and pierced the acupuncture points corresponding to her heart.

After a while, the emperor showed a painful expression: "It hurts, my heart hurts." ”

Jiang Wanning said: "What kind of pain?" ”

"It's like something is drilling into the lonely heart."

She pressed her hand on the emperor's chest and closed her eyes again to feel it carefully.

After a while, Jiang Wanning opened her eyes, her expression was solemn, and she quickly pulled out the silver needle.

Then he said: "I found it, and it hibernated in the emperor's heart, and the silver needle stimulated it just now, and it moved, so the emperor felt that something was drilling into his heart." ”

The emperor's face turned pale: "Is there really a worm in Lone's body?" ”

Jiang Wanning nodded solemnly.

Xiao Yan hurriedly said: "Is there a way to get it out?" ”

The emperor also looked at Jiang Wanning expectantly.

Jiang Wanning shook her head: "It's too close, and the minister doesn't even dare to stimulate it too much." ”

Xiao Yan turned around and left, Gu Zhou stopped and pulled him: "Is Your Highness going to find the Seventh Princess?" ”

"Of course I'm going to go to her, and if she doesn't get the worm away, I'll kill her alive." Xiao Yan was furious.

"Don't act rashly, listen to Jiang Aiqing." The emperor said.

Jiang Wanning said: "It is true that you can't act rashly, once you force them to be anxious and urge the Gu worms in advance, the emperor's life will be difficult to protect, and then they can put all the fault on Mama Song's head, saying that Mama Song mixed into the mission to murder the emperor, they don't know at all, don't say anything else, even if they take the whole Dashu to accompany the funeral, what's the use?" ”

"Lord Jiang is right, the most important thing at the moment is the emperor's safety, not only can we not settle accounts with them, but we can't alarm them, we have to find another way." Gu Zhou stopped and agreed.

"But what can be done? Master Jiang said that there was no way. Xiao Yan was discouraged.

"I think there's one guy who might be able to do it." Jiang Wanning said.

"Who?" The three of them spoke in unison.

Jiang Wanning said: "I can't say his name, but I know where to find him." ”

It's time to go and see Master, his old man.
