Morbid pet

"The research is out!"

An Ying was holding a pack of things like a sachet, which contained white crystals, and stood excitedly in the dark room of his mansion and shouted.

Lin Chong walked in quickly from the door and asked: "Prince, you'd better rest first. We have all got 5000 million, so we don't need this little time to work hard."

What Lin Chong said was heartless. An Ying looked at him coldly, and then smiled lightly: "Silly boy, what do you know? 5000 million, are you just waiting to rely on this little money in your life? What we are stepping on now is The land of Daming. So what if all the 5000 million are with us? If you dare to fool the two masters above you, you will be overwhelmed at any time, so go around."

Lin Chong really didn't think of this, and the expression on his face was a bit unpleasant.

"Yes, I understand."

An Ying passed him, went to the room to change clothes, and said as he walked, "Prepare the car, go to the platform."

Lin Chong glanced at the sky, and couldn't help but persuade: "Master, look at how late it is. It's just past midnight, and the Queen must have rested. There is a curfew in the palace, how can we get in? "

An Ying was so busy during this time that he was so busy that his mind was not clear.He slapped his forehead suddenly and said, "Oh yes, yes, it's too late, let's go, let's go back first, go back."

Lin Chong turned his head and asked, "Where are you going?"

An Ying frowned: "Go back to the room and sleep!"

Lin Chong lowered his head and laughed, but An Ying ignored his smile.

The two grew up together, and it would not be an exaggeration for Lin Chong to say that they were his bodyguards, let alone good friends.

"Shut your mouth, I'm asleep." An Ying slammed the door shut, and just as the door was latched, a muffled groan came from inside.

Lin Chong in the corridor suddenly stopped, and he immediately turned around to knock on the door, "Prince! Prince! What's wrong with you? Talk!"

inside the room.

An Ying half squatted on the ground in pain, his mouth slowly began to smell of blood rust, a mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth, with a stench, he tried to calm down his body, trying to drive the Gu insects , but the Gu worm seemed to be dead in his body, and there was no reaction at all.

Lin Chong outside the door was still beating on the door frame.

An Ying turned around and lay on the floor, with mist in the corner of his eyes, he said in a muffled voice: "Lin Chong, the mother bug in my body has failed, I can't drive it now"

Every person in Northern Xinjiang has had the mother voodoo planted in their body at one time or another. It is not that it is harmful to others, but that they believe that the mother voodoo can cure all diseases in their bodies, and they also believe that they can control the mother voodoo at will. movement in the body.

And the mother Gu that is planted is also graded.

Ordinary people can only plant some low-quality Gu worms, and the daily minor illnesses can be solved by the female worms, but there is no other effect.

The most difficult thing to find is the royal mother Gu, which is the one-and-done existence among the Gu insects.

As the mother Gu in the body of the last royal family in Northern Xinjiang, An Ying is even more terrifying.

Not only can he save himself, but he can also drive the mother Gu to control other Gu insects at will. As long as there is an introduction, he can also control others.

But if such a precious Gu worm said it was gone, it would have no reaction.

This was the first time in An Ying's body.

An Ying's sobs could be heard in the room. Lin broke through the door and rushed in. He helped An Ying up on the floor, then hugged An Ying in his arms and laid him flat on the bed.

Without any hesitation, Lin Chong drew a knife and cut a deep gash from his arm, and a large amount of blood spread out and dripped on An Ying's face.

An Ying used his last bit of clarity to say: "Be careful."

How could Lin Chong care about other things, and immediately dripped the blood from his hand into An Ying's mouth.

He kept praying in his heart that nothing would happen to An Ying.

Bright red blood flowed down the corner of An Ying's mouth and into his throat. An Ying clenched his fists tightly and opened his eyes slightly. In an instant, a cold feeling flooded his limbs and bones.

"Cough-cough-cough-cough-"

An Ying coughed violently and vomited out all the things that had accumulated in his body.

"Huchi—" Lin Chong breathed a sigh of relief, looked at An Ying's pale face, and said softly, "Master, fortunately you are fine."

An Ying looked up at him: "Thank you, Lin Chong, you saved my life again, and I owe you."

Lin Chong shook his head: "Master, I really can't bear what you say. It is my duty to save you."

An Ying sat up and touched his chest. The mother Gu that was jumping there disappeared.

An Ying frowned in confusion.

"How is this going?"

Lin Chong was also surprised. He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Just now, the master's female insect suddenly stopped active."

An Ying pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Lin Chong, go and find out who has entered the mansion today, especially the emperor and empress!" A flash of violence appeared on his usually docile face.

An Ying lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. He always felt a little strange. According to the habit of the female worm, once it was aroused to life, it had to swallow enough Gu worms. But the female worm in his body just now Died without warning, which is not in compliance with the rules at all.

Could it be that someone deliberately killed his own female worm?

An Ying squinted his eyes. He remembered that when he was in northern Xinjiang, he heard his father mention that the cultivation method of Gu worms in his body was very harsh and required special environment and conditions, so it was extremely difficult to cultivate, almost reaching a thousand The degree of hardship.Moreover, every time a mother Gu dies, a new mother Gu must be found within three days, otherwise, the toxins in the body will spread rapidly, eroding the host's entire body, and then it will become a corpse.

An Ying's eyes gradually became cloudy, and he remembered Lin Chong's words just now, "Have the emperor and the empress been in contact recently?"

A face as gentle as jade flashed in his mind, that face always had a faint smile on it, but it was the cruelest person.

An Ying clenched his fists, he must find out about this matter.

An Ying put on his clothes and was about to go out, but there was a sharp and piercing cry outside the door.

The mansion of the minister of feudal borders is full of old, weak, sick and disabled people from northern Xinjiang, just in time for the sound of crying in the courtyard.

The sound is harsh.

Lin Chong rushed out impatiently, and roared at the yard over there: "Do you see what time it is! Master hasn't rested yet, why are you yelling? If you can't, I will arrange all of you to live in another place tomorrow!"

An Ying tightened his clothes. After coming to Daming for three months, he was still dissatisfied with the cold weather here. The only good thing was that his skin color began to gradually turn white, gradually fading the original honey-colored skin.

"Lin Chong, don't yell at them. Go and see what's going on."

Then Lin Chong clasped his hands and said, "Yes, you are waiting for me here, come back soon."

Lin Chong ran over quickly, and an old woman cried, "My granddaughter, she is still so young, how can you let me live?"

After Lin Chong heard this sentence, he almost fell down, "What did you say?"

Pointing to the room, the old woman said: "My granddaughter is still sleeping. She fainted suddenly while eating today. After I fed ginseng soup, she kept having a high fever and was flushed all over. She couldn't wake up no matter how much she screamed. I invited a doctor to see her today, and said that her health is not good, and she has collapsed due to long-term malnutrition. Me."

Before the old woman finished speaking, Lin Chong had already opened the door and entered the house.

An Ying also stood up when he heard the movement. He walked into the room, and there was a little girl lying on the bed with flushed cheeks and dark purple lips, obviously poisoned.

"Prince, this girl seems to have been poisoned, but it's not serious. She can recover after drinking two doses of medicine." Lin Chong turned around and said.

An Ying walked over to check her pulse, his expression was serious, and it took him a long time to relax, "It is indeed poisoned."

Lin Chong was taken aback: "Poisoned? But I checked the house and there is no foreign object, unless"

"It's a Gu worm."

Lin Chong's pupils shrank suddenly, "Gu worm?"

An Ying nodded, "The mother Gu stayed in this girl's body before she left. I guess it was the emperor who did it. As for why he wanted to deal with me, I'm not quite sure. Go check it out and find out how it happened. thing."

An Ying paused, and continued to add: "If you find out, report to me, hurry up, I don't have time."

"Yes." Lin Chong lowered his head, hiding the flash of light in his eyes.

Why did the emperor do this?
When An Ying walked out of the house, Lin Chong was cleaning his sword under the eaves.

"Lin Chong, do you think my Gu worms were created by the emperor?" An Ying asked.

Lin Chong raised his head, looked at the snowflakes dancing in the sky, sighed and said, "I don't think so. If it were Your Majesty, I wouldn't let the master's Gu worms stay in your body for so long before dying."

An Ying frowned, silently looking at the falling snowflakes in the sky, "Who could it be?"

Lin Chong hesitated for a while, but said: "Master, let's not put this matter aside for the time being. You should take good care of your injuries first, and after you get through this winter, you can go back to northern Xinjiang to recuperate. I will definitely help you find better Gu worms."

An Ying nodded, not mentioning this matter for the time being, "You go to work first."

An Ying walked into the bedroom, lifted the brocade quilt and lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, wondering what he was thinking, his eyes were closed, his mind was in a mess.

Early the next morning, An Ying got up, dressed neatly, and went outside, and met Lin Chong as soon as he stepped out of the threshold.

Lin Chong saluted An Ying respectfully: "Prince, someone from the palace has sent an order to let you enter the palace immediately."

An Ying raised his eyebrows: "Oh? You're so anxious." He smiled leisurely, as if staying up all night didn't cause him any trouble.

Lin Chong lowered his head and said, "I don't know what it is, but His Majesty's tone is very urgent, and it seems that there is something important."

An Ying nodded, "In that case, I'll go to the palace as soon as possible. It's the first time that he took the initiative to find me."

When the emperor summoned him, An Ying did not dare to neglect at all, and immediately went to the palace to face the saint.

In the imperial study room, the emperor Xie Zhao looked a little tired, but he was in good spirits. He was sitting on the dragon chair with one hand propping his forehead.

An Ying knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "My minister, An Ying, kowtows to my emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live."

"Ping Shen." The emperor spoke slowly, with a hint of weariness in his tone. An Ying had never seen the emperor look so tired.

An Ying slowly raised his head. The emperor's face was haggard and his eyes were dark, as if he hadn't slept all night.

An Ying thought to himself, the emperor was exhausted from working for the country, which is not good, and he couldn't help worrying about the emperor and himself.

"Your Majesty, what is this?" An Ying asked with concern. After all, this man had helped them. Although it was because of the exchange of benefits, An Ying always remembered this kindness in his heart.However, his body appeared strange and he thought about it. People who are capable of doing this, except for Xie Zhao, are Changle, so he has to guard against them.

There are less than three days left.

If he can't find new Gu worms at that time, he will die, and once he dies, who else can guarantee that the people in Northern Xinjiang will be safe and sound in Daming?
Several times before in the court, he had heard everyone arguing about who to send to northern Xinjiang. The reason was that people in northern Xinjiang would use witchcraft, which is not easy to manage. It is suggested to start from the root cause Solve the problem.

How to solve the problem from the root?
That must have killed the matter directly.

In his mind, he flashed a face with inquiry.

It was the day when he couldn't help saving General Zhao, but was smashed by Xie Zhao.

The expression on Xie Zhao's face looked very strange to him. After he returned, he discovered that there was a little blood stain on the corner of his mouth that he had not wiped off. .

He counts everything.

After being silent for so long, I still made the wrong payment.

If I had known earlier, I would not have saved that General Zhao.

He thought angrily.

Soon he was overturned by his bad thoughts.

The two were silent for a long time.

Xie Zhao's words brought him back to reality.

Xie Zhao: "I caught the wind and cold by accident yesterday, and I just felt a little unwell. I called you into the palace today because I have something important to discuss."

An Ying was puzzled in his heart, but his face was indifferent, "Please speak, Your Majesty."

"Li Shi, the daughter-in-law of Xu Siren, a scholar of the former dynasty, was poisoned to death during a palace banquet. I suspect that someone is planning to kill me."

An Ying was slightly startled, and then suddenly realized: "Then what does this matter have to do with the minister?"

Xie Zhao looked at him, and then smiled slightly: "It's none of your business, I just want to tell you to be more careful when you eat recently. The palace is already heavily guarded, and someone took advantage of the gap to put poison out. Your mansion is even more important. Be careful, I don’t want to end up with a reputation for not caring about my compatriots in northern Xinjiang.”

This is half true.

But An Ying thought it was all fake.

He simply hated Daming, the group of beastly bastards, who said one thing and did another, and couldn't tell what they were talking about.

What can I do.

An Ying didn't say that she was poisoned and the Gu insect died.

He just cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for reminding, Your Majesty, when I go back, I will order people to clean up the people in the mansion to strengthen our defenses."

Xie Zhao nodded with satisfaction, "Go ahead."

An Ying retreated suspiciously.

He didn't even bother to guess what the emperor was thinking.

He walked to the platform unconsciously.

He stood at the door and hesitated for a while, until a familiar and cold figure appeared in front of him, it was Die Shi, she always had a small face, and only when Chang Le was around would she force herself to be gentle with the people around her.

Die Shi asked in a cold voice: "Prince Anying, are you here to find your empress?"

An Ying nodded and said, "Yes, please ask Auntie Die Shi to take me in."

Dieshi nodded: "Come on."

Changle has always liked to get up early, and has adapted to such a healthy way of working and resting for a long time.

She was helping to water the flowers and plants, and two and a half older children were sitting on the soft bed behind her, watching her with slick eyes.

Die Shi said softly: "Madam, Prince Anying is here."

Chang Le didn't look back, and continued to water the flowers with his custom-made red water bottle, "Hey, why did the northwest wind blow you here so early today?"

Die Shi withdrew.

An Ying sat next to the two children, "Your Majesty told me to enter the palace early in the morning, telling me to pay attention to my diet in the recent period, so as not to be taken advantage of by others," he added after thinking for a while. , "It's not a big deal."

Thousands of words are gathered in this sentence is not a big deal.

He is waiting.

He is gambling.

Changle's reaction.

And Chang Le still didn't respond, just replied shallowly, "Oh, indeed. There was a lot of trouble last time. Recently, it's always right to pay more attention to it, but it's so strange. How can these things happen?" Telling you alone, I haven't seen him for several days, so I don't know what he's busy with."

The big stone in my heart fell to the ground in an instant.

Not Changle.

Fortunately, it's not Changle.

It was Xie Zhao who could accept it better.

God knows how much he prayed that Changle had nothing to do with his bad things.

Deep down in his heart, he really regarded Changle as his friend or even family member.

Changle always has just the right sense of warmth and boundaries.

It is very easy to get along with her, there is no hierarchy, and she will use her resources as much as possible to help others achieve their dreams.Such a person really shouldn't stay in such a dirty place like the deep palace.

And An Ying may not even have a future.

Time is running out for him.

Three days.

Just three days.

He will die if he can't find new Gu insects.

But going to northern Xinjiang for three days is not enough.

How could there be time for him to go back?
I fell into a cycle of despair again.

Chang Le didn't wait for An Ying's response, she turned her head and asked, "An Ying, what's wrong with you today?"

An Ying lowered his head and said sullenly: "Mother, if I can survive this time, come with me, don't stay in this deep palace, I will take you to see the outside world and mountains and seas."

Changle burst out laughing, the temperature in the flower hall was very comfortable, she was wearing a white gauze with a phoenix tube top with white gold thread inside, she walked over with her waist twisted, now Changle's every frown and smile is full of amorous feelings Without knowing it, even without makeup, she looks differently moving.

She threw the flower pot to the maid, then went to sit next to the child and sat very close to An Ying. She hugged Nini and rubbed her face. The child began to cry dissatisfied, while she patted Nini "What's wrong with you?"

An Ying hugged Tuantuan in his arms, a little surprised at his aphasia just now, "It's nothing, just kidding."

Chang Le asked again: "What do you mean you survived this time? Did you encounter something? Xie Zhao made things difficult for you?"

An Ying sighed and said, "I don't know."

Chang Le glanced at her eyebrows, then got up and gave Nini to the nanny, and drove away all the maids sweeping in the flower hall, making sure the doors were closed before asking: "Tell me, what happened to you?"

An Ying was almost about to cry, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you are so kind to me, I don't know what to say. By the way, I came today to tell you that I have researched a way to preserve the Beauty Pill Already." He took out the bag of white crystals from his pocket and handed it to Changle, and then said: "This is my purified desiccant, it can be placed directly in the beauty pill, this thing can resist air and temperature, and can make The beauty pills are kept well for about two years. To be on the safe side, I will also add edible preservatives to the balls, which are very safe."

Changle smiled softly: "Well, I see. The first batch will be tested for light and use. It will be sold after several rounds of tests. The market for Meiren Pills is actually very small, that is, those people in Kuotai circle. , so there is only one chance left, their trust is very important, and it is difficult to pick it up, are you ready?"

An Ying smiled wryly: "Yes."

Chang Le put the white crystal aside, she leaned on the back of the chair and said: "Okay, then the matter is settled now. Can you tell me what happened to you?"

She is always like this, maintaining a proper sense of alienation, and she has to bear the burden of her own accidents, not wanting to delay the people around her.

And people around you are always keenly aware of accidents.

An Ying didn't want to make himself regret, it was up to God whether he could get through this hurdle.

"Sorry, I've been lying to you all this time."

As An Ying said, his back straightened unnaturally, which was inversely proportional to Chang Le Xing who was sitting lazily by the side.

Chang Le let out an oh, obviously not surprised, "Well, what do you think."

An Ying didn't dare to turn around to look at her, and began to confess to the precious flowers and plants everywhere.

"We people in Northern Xinjiang actually have mother voodoo in our bodies, but generally the mother voodoo in our bodies saves our own lives. In other words, the voodoos in our bodies are all life-saving. The only difference is that the ones in my body are."

"You know that I am the last generation of the royal family in northern Xinjiang. I have no children, and I don't have any collateral. The mother Gu in my body can kill and control others. On the contrary, it can also save people. Last time I was His Majesty may have noticed that he saved General Zhao’s life with the mother Gu in his body.”

Chang Le slowly straightened up and asked, "And then?"

An Ying took a deep breath and said, "The mother Gu in my body is dead. If I don't find a Gu worm that can replace the mother Gu in my body within three days, I will die."

Chang Le stood up immediately, and she paced back and forth: "What's the situation? How long did it take? How much time do you have?"

An Ying smiled wryly and said, "The mother Gu in my body has been dead for about three hours."

Chang Le made a calculation in his mind, and asked again: "Is it too late to send the fastest cavalry to take you back to northern Xinjiang?"

An Ying shook his head stubbornly: "It's not that you haven't been to Northern Xinjiang, at least ten days. It's still the most ideal state. It's impossible to go back."

Chang Le: "Luo Xiao black market! Yes, there is a black market, I will spend a lot of money to buy Gu worms for you."

An Ying stood up and pressed Chang Le back onto the soft bed: "Mother, I have money, you don't need to spend any more money on me. You can only try your luck on the black market, but the Gu worms in my body grew up through a special breeding method. It is difficult to suddenly find a replacement. Generally speaking, the mother Gu in our body will not die, so I did not think about this at all when I went down the mountain. I took out two mother Gu from the corpses of my father and mother. My father's is in my body. The only mother Gu that can be replaced is the one in my mother's body. I left it in Northern Xinjiang a long time ago. I didn't even bring it with me this time. I remember that I It is also hidden and locked in a big box. Only I know the password, not even Lin Chong."

An Ying sighed: "Do your best and obey the destiny."

Chang Le said in disbelief: "So you suspect that Xie Zhao did it right?"

An Ying shrugged helplessly: "I don't know, but he is the only one who knows that I have Gu in my body and has the ability to kill Gu in me."

Chang Le knew that Xie Zhao had always been worried about the Gu worms in An Ying's body, and she tried her best to persuade her, but why did it happen suddenly?It was strange enough that Xie Zhao didn't come to see him for several days. Could it be that he was busy with this matter?

Chang Le stood up: "I'll go and confront Xie Zhao. There must be a way."

An Ying grabbed Chang Le's arm, and said in a gentle voice: "Chang Le, I call you Chang Le, I only said you when you were my family, don't go to him again for what has happened, everyone will be suspected before the matter is investigated. I don't want to Because of my own affairs, it affected your hard-won relationship. When I saw you in the past two years, I knew that you were suffering. Now that you are better, don’t fall into the vortex of doubts. It’s not worth it .Changle, not worth it."

Chang Le was so anxious that she grabbed An Ying's arm and said sharply: "Do you know what you are talking about? If you can't find the female worm in your body for three days, you will die! Get out of the way!"

An Ying shook his head: "It's okay, it's not yet the third day, so be optimistic."

Changle cursed in a low voice: "Fuck, how can you be optimistic? I invested 5000 million for you, and there is no splash at all. Who will I find to settle the account if you die?"

An Ying held his belly and laughed hahaha: "It's okay, I only spent a little of the 5000 million, and I will let Lin Chong return the rest to you. I have written down the formula and cultivation method of the Beauty Pill, There is also a way to save it. You can earn a lot of money by selling beauty pills, just treat it as my last gift to you, Changle, it is a pleasure to meet you."

Before the words finished, An Ying let go of his hand silently, pushed open the door and walked out alone.

It was raining outside, and the rain was pouring down.

Changle's eyes were also filled with rain.
