Chapter 196 Master
As soon as Shi Zhou said this, not only did the two eunuchs following behind Emperor Jianxing come over, but even Emperor Jianxing's face darkened.

In the eyes of these people, Shi Zhou seemed to be holding a sharp blade in her hand and wanted to assassinate Emperor Jianxing. She actually dared to say such treasonous words directly to the emperor!

After Shi Zhou finished speaking, she showed no fear. She looked at Emperor Jianxing with a serious face and repeated what she had just said: "If you want to make the child Gu not be affected by the mother Gu, not be controlled by the mother Gu, and get a way to prolong its life from the mother Gu's maintenance. If you can feed the child Gu with the heart blood, the effect will be twice the result with half the effort!"

The chief eunuch behind Emperor Jianxing angrily shouted, "How dare you! You are such a bold woman! Who gave you the courage to speak nonsense in front of His Majesty? Blood in your heart? Blood in your heart? Do you know that blood in your heart can cost a person's life? Your Majesty is worth a thousand gold dragon body, and you dare to speak nonsense like that? It's simply..."

Before the eunuch could finish, Emperor Jianxing spoke up, "Step back, and do not be rude to the immortal."

The chief eunuch retreated hastily, and Emperor Jianxing spoke up, "I know that the immortals have great medical skills and can bring the dead back to life, but for a mortal like me, how can the heart blood be taken so easily? If someone really takes the heart blood, I'm afraid they will lose their lives."

Shi Zhou: "It is naturally difficult to extract blood from the heart. If everyone can do it, why do we need to learn medical skills? The method is not difficult. You just need Your Majesty to invite the imperial physician. I will teach them how to extract blood from the heart without hurting people's lives."

Emperor Jianxing: "I have kept this in mind, but... Immortal, you'd better stay here safely. I will not treat you unfairly. If you don't appreciate it, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Shi Zhou said respectfully: "I dare not. Doctors only want to save people and never want to harm others. Your Majesty, please understand!"

Emperor Jianxing did not say anything, but looked at Shi Zhou deeply, then turned and left.

Shi Zhou waited until Emperor Jianxing left before she slowly raised her waist. Haha, the old emperor wanted to grow taller, but didn't want to bleed. She wanted to see who was more willing to spend money, the ghost doctor or the old emperor.

It would be easy for the ghost doctor to draw blood from the heart, but as for the old emperor, the most powerful man in the world, would he be willing to take such a risk?
On the night the ghost doctor entered the city, the released crows found Shi Zhou again. Shi Zhou took his blood and fed it to the insect again.

Three days later, the imperial physician from the palace suddenly came to visit. Shi Zhou was shocked when he heard it. This old emperor was really brave!

The imperial physician came to ask for advice on how to draw blood from the heart. Shi Zhou did not say a word and took out an extremely long and thin silver needle from the medicine box. He unfolded a map of human acupuncture points, pointed to a position on the heart and explained to the imperial physician. Then he inserted the silver needle into the acupuncture point and taught the technique in great detail.

Shi Zhou: "Wait for the blood to flow out along the silver needle and drip into the bamboo tube. If it can be delivered in time, it will naturally be cured. The poisonous insects are active at night, so it will be best to take them out and deliver them after sunset."

The imperial physician was extremely terrified: "After the blood from your heart is released, your Majesty's body..."

Shi Zhou: "Make up for what you lack. Your Majesty's blood-replenishing medicinal food must be followed up in time. After all, it takes time to nourish the Gu with heart blood. This is a long-term process, so please make sure your Majesty is healthy!"

Imperial Physician: "...Thank you, Miss Shi. I've taken note of it. However, taking blood from the heart is not a trivial matter. Can I bring someone here tomorrow so that Miss Shi can demonstrate it on the spot?"

Shi Zhou agreed immediately: "Yes."

On the day when the imperial physician brought people to find Shi Zhou, Emperor Jianxing also came in person to watch Shi Zhou take blood from a person's heart.

The person whose blood was being drawn sat on a chair with his face covered. He looked extremely nervous, but he did not say a word during the entire process.

As Shi Zhou watched the blood drip into the bamboo tube, he asked the man if he felt any discomfort. The man shook his head and said, "Except for the slight discomfort when the needle was inserted just now, I don't feel any pain from other diseases."

After Shi Zhou took the blood, he showed the bamboo tube to Emperor Jianxing: "If you can get this much blood from your heart every day, it will be fine."

The imperial physician immediately called another person over to draw blood on the spot for Shi Zhou to see. The person grimaced while the acupuncture was being performed, but was very calm at other times, which showed that the imperial physician had heard everything.

Seeing this, Emperor Jianxing was relieved. He looked at the people at the scene randomly and said, "I am using the Heart Blood to Nourish Bones posture. I don't want anyone else to know. If I know who dares to leak the news, I will never let them off easily!"

The people around hurriedly knelt on the ground and swore not to say anything nonsense.

Shi Zhou stood, "Then starting from today, Your Majesty can send blood every three days."

Here, Shi Zhou asked Emperor Jianxing to provide blood for the raising child Gu. The ghost doctor saw the letter sent by Shi Zhou. The ghost doctor then realized that there had been no news from Shi Zhou for many days, as if she had disappeared from this world. The reason was because she was imprisoned in the palace.

The old and dying emperor in the palace wants the pair of mother and child Gu that can prolong his life!
How could the ghost doctor agree?

She used that pair of mother and child Gu to save Yu Ze’s life!

The ghost doctor's face turned pale. No wonder she hadn't heard from Shi Zhou for many days. It turned out that he was trapped by that old thing!

The ghost doctor asked the crow to deliver a letter that day to confirm Shi Zhou's location. She wanted to go to the palace in person to see if what Shi Zhou said was true!

Shi Zhou was very calm when she received the letter. She turned around and called the guards at the door, whispered a few words in their ears, and then closed the door again.

At night, the ghost doctor appeared silently on the roof of Shi Zhou's residence. A crow knocked on the door. Shi Zhou just opened the window, and the long whip with thorns in the ghost doctor's hand swung in and directly wrapped around Shi Zhou's neck.

Shi Zhou quickly protected his neck with his hands, "Master!"

Ghost Doctor: "You are so bold! I think you have forgotten your own weight. You have not contacted me for many days. You are so brave!"

Shi Zhou made a gesture and whispered, "Master, calm down. Yu Yan is helpless... If the crow hadn't delivered the letter here and I ran into him, I'm afraid I would have to wait for a long time!"

Ghost Doctor: "I see that you have no worries about food and drink here, and you can even avoid my master. I'm afraid you are feeling proud, right?"

Shi Zhou naturally couldn't admit it. Even though she was doing really well in this place and did intend to avoid the ghost doctor, how could she admit it unless she didn't want this life anymore.

Shi Zhou: "Master... The emperor is the most powerful person in the world. Even if I don't want to, I have no choice but to obey your orders. I have tried my best to delay time for fear of hurting the Gu worm. It is my luck that I can contact you during these days... Ahem, Master, calm down. Yu Yan has no second thoughts about you. Please forgive me..."

The ghost doctor's eyes were fierce: "Do you still remember how your senior brother Yu Ze treated you back then? If you have a conscience, you should always remember Yu Ze's kindness to you, and you should save him at all costs..."

Shi Zhou: "Yu Yan will never forget Senior Brother Yu Ze's kindness, and I will always keep it in my heart. I beg Master to understand."

Shi Zhou stopped talking after she finished speaking. The ghost doctor looked at her face and saw that it didn't look fake, so he let go of the whip and said, "I will believe you for now. Is the poisonous insect still there?"

Shi Zhou protected his neck while taking out the jar where the Gu worms were kept. "Master, the Gu worms are all fine, don't worry."

The ghost doctor looked at the poisonous insect in the jar and reached out to take the jar, but Shi Zhou held him down: "Master, you must not do that!"

The ghost doctor looked at her gloomily, "Why? Can't I touch the poisonous insects you raise?"
