Chapter 241 -241 Third Brother Got Gu Poisoning!

“Senior Brother! Did you successfully use the Gu?”

Upon hearing that Miao Wuxie had returned to Prince Rui’s Mansion, Zhuo Yinzhu immediately came looking for him.

Miao Wuxie looked at her face and her somewhat swollen lips and felt not a hint of jealousy, only a tumultuous complexity, overwhelmed with thoughts.

In the end, he just shook his head and said, “Master Uncle Zhai was with her, and compared to before, Master Uncle Zhai cannot see clearly, but his sense of smell has become sharper, so I had no chance to act.”

Zhuo Yinzhu’s face showed a look of disappointment, and her eyebrows furrowed.

“Since that’s the case, we’ll just have to find another opportunity next time. How does Murong Jiu treat you, Senior Brother? Can you visit Prince Ling’s Mansion again?”

“She despises me, calls me selfish and heartless, and questioned why I had you inform my father, which prevented her and Master Uncle Zhai from rescuing my mother.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yinzhu’s brow twitched violently.

She quickly said, “She truly is a habitual liar. Back then, it was clearly Master Uncle Zhai who was infatuated with my mother’s beauty and wanted to elope with her, while Murong Jiu helped the villain do evil by reversing the truths, making her even worse than before.

“Senior Brother, do you remember? I saved you, and you and Master took me in. Just then, Murong Jiu and her master also arrived at the villa. Because you all were kind to me, she was envious and jealous and even pushed me into the cold pond, later claiming that I fell in by myself. I didn’t expect she would still be lying and deceiving people after all these years.”

Seeing that Miao Wuxie did not reply, Zhuo Yinzhu became somewhat anxious, “Senior Brother, you haven’t believed all the lies from Murong Jiu, have you? If you don’t, you can ask our master.”

“Ask me what?”

Just then, an old man clad in black, wrapped up tightly, came in leaning on a walking stick.

At first glance, he appeared thin and short, his skin withered, his gaze sinister, and his lips black, bearing no resemblance to Miao Wuxie.

Standing together, no one would guess they were father and son.

Zhuo Yinzhu quickly clung to Divine Doctor Miao’s arm, cooing, “Master, Senior Brother heard something from Murong Jiu and came questioning the affairs of the past about mother. Please speak for me, otherwise Senior Brother won’t trust Yinzhu anymore.”

Divine Doctor Miao said coldly, “That Murong Jiu is no good, just like that Zhai, both are tarred with the same brush. What, you went to Prince Ling’s Mansion and not only failed to accomplish your task, but were also fooled by Murong Jiu?”

Miao Wuxie said, “How could I be fooled by her few words? In my eyes, Yinzhu is my junior sister, and she is at most an acquaintance I’ve met a few times.”

Divine Doctor Miao gave a cold huff:

“That’s more like it! Remember, your mother died because of them. She lost her sanity, and when you were a child, she always hit you, and once even tried to strangle you. I had to bind her and lock her up for your safety. But that Zhai, captivated by your mother’s beauty, forcibly took her away, and if it weren’t for Yinzhu’s timely discovery, I would have been made a cuckold! Your mother was traumatized by this incident, which led her to seek death. It was them who killed her!”

Miao Wuxie bowed submissively, “Son understands, it was they who killed mother, this vengeance, son will avenge personally.”

“Good! If your junior sister asked you to use Gu on Murong Jiu and even that you cannot do, you’re really going backwards. Think of a way to lure her out of Prince Ling’s Mansion, and I will personally administer the Gu!”

“Father, I was driven out of Prince Ling’s Mansion by Murong Jiu,” he said. “She told me she won’t see me again, and asked me not to look for her anymore.”

“How arrogant!”

“Master, don’t be angry. Murong Jiu is now the Princess Consort of Prince Ling, her status is different, naturally, she acts high and mighty. Since we can’t meet her, why don’t we start with the servants of the Prince Mansion, control the Prince Mansion’s servants, and then transfer the Gu insects to Murong Jiu?”

Miao Wuxie looked up at Zhuo Yinzhu, his eyes flashing with complexity.

The reason he agreed to Zhuo Yinzhu to use Gu on Murong Jiu was because Prince Ling had caused her Zhuo family to be confiscated and deported, and the women taken as military courtesans. When he came to the Capital City and saw the brand on her forehead, he was so furious that he wished he could kill everyone in Prince Ling’s family.

Murong Jiu was Prince Ling’s consort, harming her was harming Prince Ling, and at first, he saw nothing wrong with it.

But now, seeing Zhuo Yinzhu’s vindictive expression, he suddenly felt unbearably alienated.

Was harming Murong Jiu truly just because of Prince Ling?

Or could it be that she harbors personal resentment against Murong Jiu?

Back then, who really pushed her into the water? Was it Murong Jiu, or did she herself?

…

Murong Jiu was not interested in what happened at Prince Rui’s Mansion.

Even knowing that Divine Doctor Miao, his son, and Zhuo Yinzhu were all tough nuts to crack, there was nothing to fear.

Because her master was there.

In her past life, her master had died early in the mountains while searching for medicine to remove the fetal toxin for her, but now, her master was alive and well by her side.

After taking precautions, the master, along with Xiao Wen, had prepared many medicinal powders specifically to prevent poisonous insects from crawling into the Prince Mansion, spreading a thick layer around every corner of the mansion.

He had also given each servant in the mansion a soup medicine to prevent Gu poisoning and had told everyone to carefully examine any food before eating.

In fact, Gu insects weren’t as sinister as the rumors suggested. They could not easily enter the human body; they had to enter through wounds or via the mouth and nose.

After that, the Gu insect would slowly burrow into the person’s bloodstream, but this process would take from three to five days.

If one took medicine in advance, should the Gu insect enter the body, it would be easily agitated and start moving erratically, causing pain and alerting the afflicted person.

In those three to five days, before the Gu insect reached the bloodstream, it was relatively easy to kill it inside the body using medicine.

But once it entered the bloodstream, it wasn’t as easy to kill.

The person would then be controlled by the Gu insect, exhibiting abnormal behaviors, but that was about it; the Gu insect couldn’t control a person’s speech.

Divine Doctor Zhai prepared several big pots of medicinal soup every day. That day, Fu Han happened to be free and came by, and Murong Jiu had him drink two bowls.

Unexpectedly, just after he drank it, not even a quarter of an hour later, he suddenly felt an unbearable pain in his stomach. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he slid from the chair onto the floor.

Murong Jiu’s expression changed, and she quickly took his pulse while asking Hong Yi to call for her master.

The master arrived quickly, opened Fu Han’s clothes, and a clear dark shadow could be seen scurrying under the skin of his abdomen.

“Master, this Gu insect is about to enter my brother’s bloodstream!”

“Don’t be afraid, there’s still time. Bring the Silver Needle.”

Chun Tao had already brought Murong Jiu’s medicine box over, and upon hearing this, she hurriedly handed over the Silver Needle.

Hong Yi helped Murong Jiu get up; her belly was too large, as she had just hurriedly crouched down, and now she was already kneeling on the ground.

Murong Jiu didn’t push herself and instead said to Xiao Wen, who had come with her master, “Xiao Wen, help me get these few medicines.”

“No need, girl, I’ve prepared the pills in advance. I’ll seal the Gu insect first, then administer them to him.”

The master said while waving the Silver Needle.

Murong Jiu nodded, clenching her fists.

If her brother hadn’t come to the Prince Mansion today, she dared not imagine what would have happened.

Thinking about it, her brother had already been infected with a Gu insect even before Miao Wuxie came to the Prince Mansion!

It’s inevitable!
