Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 537 The water is too deep, don’t go in

She seldom sheds tears in front of others, especially in these years.

After a long while, she raised her head, sniffed, wiped the corners of her eyes, and then asked Mr. Chen, "Li Yan first said that Li Yuqi had planted the same-hearted Gu on himself and his sister. When I got the same-minded Gu, it was you who solved it for me." It's just that you also said at that time that even if there are mother and child Gu, if the son Gu dies, the mother Gu will suffer backlash... But now, why is Li Yuqi still alive and well? .”

"It's probably different." Chen Lao looked at the little flower in front of him that had been destroyed and destroyed by him, and explained in a warm voice, "Since the prince wants to control Xiaoyuan, he will not use the same heart Gu that lives and dies together. Heavenly Master Not only can concentric Gu be refined, but there are probably other things, such as Rebirth Gu. When the mother Gu is born, the child Gu will be born, and when the mother Gu dies, the child Gu will die."

Rebirth Gu...

The handkerchief in her hand was held tightly, and the embroidery thread on the silk fabric pressed against her skin. For the first time in her life, she felt that the Jiangnan silk fabrics that so many people flocked to were so rough that it hurt her hands... She took a deep breath. , looked up at the swaying tree shadows in the yard, and gently covered his face with the handkerchief.

After a long while, she said softly, "On the way back, in the carriage... I asked Bai Xing, and I said that when I first came to Yanjing City, I heard that Prince Pingyang was the most domineering, but we met several times later. , but I feel that this county prince is not quite consistent with the rumors, he is very gentle and elegant... I just don’t know, is it really Wu Zheng, or is he keeping a low profile?"

When she said this, she was still looking up at the sky with her eyes closed, and her thin back was straight, with a stubborn and stubborn taste.

Mr. Chen opened his mouth, but did not make a sound. After a while, he said, "Girl... the child is gone. If you want to investigate the truth, I won't stop you, and I won't be able to. If it is really the poison under the East Palace, That child, then let’s go to the East Palace, tie up the person, kill or cut him into pieces, the entire Ji family is supporting you, we are not afraid. But girl...listen to me, whether it is the East Palace or Prince Pingyang, or even the one who is here now The guy in the prison is not a good person, the water is too deep...don't step in."

Ji Wuyan looked over quickly and looked at Mr. Chen, "Do you... know something?"

Old Chen opened his mouth, his gray beard trembled, and he lowered his head.He hesitated for a long time, and he has not yet figured out how to explain the emperor's condition to Ji Wuyan. First, he himself is only guessing and not sure. Second, if it is as he guessed, the matter will It's far more serious than everyone thought, this kind of thing is just like what he said to this girl, you can't go there.

Ji Wuyan looked at him without urging him. After a long while, he faintly uttered a word, "Gu?"

Mr. Chen stared for a moment, but finally nodded.The little girl is always alert, since she has doubts, even if she hides it herself, she will ask to find out the answer, rather than letting her take risks, it is better to tell the whole story.He twisted the flower, said "hmm", and added, "I'm not sure. I just thought it was familiar before, a bit like the concentric Gu in you... Now, it seems that it must be the one in Xiao Yuan's mind." Rebirth Gu."

East Palace?Or Lin Yi?

Ji Wuyan was already thinking about it, but the old man didn't know Lin Yi's background, so he naturally thought it was the East Palace.She propped her chin in thought for a moment, and asked Old Chen, "If it's really that rebirth Gu, how should I solve it?"

"The technique of voodoo originated from the lineage of the Western Regions. In the early years, the royal family of the Western Regions used this kind of thing to control disobedient subjects. But it was too difficult to cultivate mother voodoo, and these things gradually disappeared... I don't know much, you In fact, the concentric Gu in the book has not yet been cultivated. Acupuncture and moxibustion combined with my herbal bath can be safe and safe... But the rebirth Gu is different. If I remember correctly, in addition to some precious medicinal materials that are extremely difficult to find, it also needs Use someone close to you by blood to lure the child Gu into your body..."

"One for one?" Ji Wuyan looked up at him, surprised by this cruel way.

"Yes. Moreover, one life is exchanged for another. This move will cause great harm to the body of the bewitched person. Within three months, the blood in the whole body will be exhausted and die..."

If the emperor's poison is really the Rebirth Gu... Little Yuan ran out from nowhere, with some grass clippings and broken leaves all over his body. It pressed against Ji Wuyan's ankle and turned its belly, meowing, Ji Wuyan leaned over and hugged it on his lap. While thinking about the past life Gu, he unconsciously picked at the leaves and grass clippings. After a long while, he sighed softly, "How long will it take for your legs to recover?"

The family members who have been together for so many years have some tacit understandings that need not be explained.Old Chen almost understood Ji Wuyan's plan, "You want me to leave here?"

The bright sun beat down.

Today's sun is no hotter and blazing than in summer, and the pale white light makes the sky look extraordinarily high and vast.

She squinted her eyes at the sky, and replied softly for a long time, "All the imperial doctors avoid it, but Chen Yinuo and the others are powerless. At that time, this matter can only fall on you. The emperor's blood relatives, do you think you will sacrifice in the end?" Who? No matter who is sacrificed, this matter will inevitably be buried in the dust of history... He will not remember your life-saving grace, he will only be afraid that you are the one who knows. But if you live in this world day, he cannot sleep peacefully."

The emperor's blood relatives are either the eldest princess or the prince, whether it is killing the elder sister or killing the son, the emperor will not let any insider live in such a matter.

There will never be such a sum in the history books.

Old Chen shook his head and laughed, "Silly girl...it's really at that time, but it's just a matter of imperial decree. Even if I'm at the end of the world, it's useless..."

That's why he hasn't talked about it so far.

"Why is it useless? The world is so big, you are alone, where can you not go? As long as you stay in Qingya Villa and don't go out, my Ji family can't protect you?"

The little girl stared at her with a tiger's face, and she looked quite heroic like a soldier coming to cover up the water and the earth.Old Chen reached out to touch her head, smiling calmly and gently.

Ji Wuyan was dissatisfied with this almost perfunctory behavior and asked him, "Don't you believe I can protect you?"

"Believe it. As long as you say...I believe it."

Believe that you can protect me, but you also know that this "protection" will eventually cost a lot, it may be many lives, it may be the Ji family's century-old business, it may be more...

No one, no family, can retreat from the imperial power.

He looked at her, and gently persuaded her word by word, "It's just... not worth it."
