The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 333 This woman's wisdom is almost demonic.
Gu is a sinister creature. To become a Gu, it must be forged from countless venomous insects, fed with various cold and yin substances, and made to fight each other constantly. Only then can a Gu master refine it to produce a Gu.

So the reason why the wind-summoning bell at the Wanshi Shop would ring was because Ou Sixing had a Yin Gu in his body. When he walked past the plaque she had carved, it became agitated and activated the wind-summoning bell.

What truly made it violently agitated was that Lang Jiuchuan injected a stream of righteous energy into Ou Sixing's body. This righteous energy was feared by all yin creatures, and encountering it would naturally cause them to become restless. The host who was afflicted by the Gu would naturally suffer from the unease of the Gu worm.

Ou Sixing was afflicted by a Gu poison, the type of which was unknown, yet it made him so disgusted by her touch.

As Lang Jiuchuan stared at the slightly bulging bulge on Ou Sixing's open chest, a flash of inspiration struck him as he thought of the faint causal connection between them.

He was poisoned and developed a dislike for women. He was destined to suffer a calamity caused by beautiful women, which brought trouble to his family. The woman he loved deeply could not be with him. Does that mean that she was no ordinary person and not just a noblewoman? The place where he had the most contact with women in the Imperial Hospital was the inner quarters and the harem. If she was not just a noblewoman in the inner quarters, then she must be a concubine.
If it were a concubine, it's highly likely that she did something for the other party, which was discovered and led to family infighting.

And being poisoned...

Lang Jiuchuan's eyes lit up. What a coincidence! The Marquis of Zhenbei had once asked the Spirit Witch for a love potion. Where that potion was used was still unknown. Meanwhile, the Xie family had produced a palace concubine.

Is this how cause and effect are connected?
Looking at the cursed fate that Ou Sixing carried, Lang Jiuchuan wondered what he had done for him.
After she uttered the words "bewitched," Dean Ou was completely stunned. What? Bewitched?
Ou Sixing also froze, looking at Lang Jiuchuan with some fear.

Seeing that he seemed frightened but not too surprised, Lang Jiuchuan suddenly understood: "You know you've been cursed. What kind of curse?" She said casually, "Judging from your expression of disgust just now, it didn't seem fake. You really thought I was annoying. Is this how all women are? That's why you don't get close to them, because if you do, you feel a deep-seated resistance and discomfort. Let me guess, this might not be a love curse. You can't feel at ease if you have even a hint of betrayal."

She kept a close eye on Ou Sixing's expression, noticing his pupils contracting, and sneered inwardly, "It really is true!"

Is this fate? Some of the people who pass by her are destined to come to her side because of karma. Since she is destined to deal with the Marquis of Zhenbei, Heaven sends such a person to her.

The look in Ou Sixing's eyes when he looked at Lang Jiuchuan was no longer the disgust and pity he had shown when he looked at a weak woman, but rather fear and wariness.

This woman is so intelligent she's almost demonic; she's terrifying!
Ou Sixing hurriedly gathered his clothes, not answering Lang Jiuchuan's question, but looking at Ou Yuanzheng and saying, "Grandfather, let's go back to the manor. After we get back, I will explain everything to you in detail."

Professor Ou seemed dumbfounded and asked, "Is what you're saying true, young friend? You yourself know you've been poisoned?"

Seeing Ou Sixing's change of expression, Ou Yuanzheng felt as if his skull was about to explode. He really wanted to pick this grandson up, turn him upside down, and shake him to see if his brain was filled with water. He knew he was under a spell, but he had been hiding it all along.

Is he crazy?

“Grandfather, I beg you!” Ou Sixing’s face showed pleading and pain.

Ou Yuanzheng felt a lump in his throat. After all, this was his most beloved grandson. His heart ached and softened, and he could only look at Lang Jiuchuan with guilt.

Lang Jiuchuan nodded and stepped aside.

Ou Sixing hurriedly had his old servant help Ou Yuanzheng up and fled in a hurry. As he walked out of the Wanshi Shop, he subconsciously glanced back. The frail girl leaned lazily against the counter, but her eyes were fixed on him. Those eyes were so dark and bright, so bright that they seemed to see through the deepest darkness in people's hearts, making him feel both fearful and ashamed.

Ou Sixing turned around in a disheveled state.

Fu Qi looked at Lang Jiuchuan and asked, "Is the Gu worm on his body truly a love Gu?"

"Nine times out of ten, his expression betrayed him!" Lang Jiuchuan sneered, "He knew he had this Gu in his body, but he didn't try to get rid of it. He obeyed that person's every word, even at the cost of his life. He really is deeply in love."

It's a pity that this love root is a poisonous root comparable to aconite; it's not enough for him to die, his entire clan will also perish with him.

Fu Qi thought of the spirit witch and said, "This love potion, it just came out of that old witch's mouth before, and it was given to the Marquis of Zhenbei. Could it be this pair?"

"I think so. The person that Ou Sixing is seeking but cannot obtain should be Consort Qinghua of the Zhenbei Marquis's residence." Lang Jiuchuan played with the beads on his wrist, moving them one by one, thinking about the wonderful uses of this love potion, and chuckled.

"A concubine took this love potion, but used it on a royal physician?" Fu Qi was a straightforward and tough man, and he couldn't understand Consort Qing's thoughts. Wouldn't it be better to let the emperor love her so much that he couldn't extricate himself?

Lang Jiuchuan looked at him and said, "When the general was alive, he did nothing but fight and practice martial arts. He didn't think about anything else. You don't seem like a reckless man who only knows how to charge into battle."

Her words were tactful, but they meant he was stupid.

"I despise all that scheming and plotting in the court; I'd rather go to the battlefield." Fu Qi rarely showed such a resentful expression.

"The Love Gu, once planted, can make the other person deeply in love with you, unable to harbor any rebellious thoughts. But in reality, it's also equivalent to control, because once there is any rebellious thought, the Gu worm will devour their heart. If Xie Qinghua dares to plant the Love Gu on the Emperor, it might not matter for a day or two, but in the long run, he will definitely notice something is wrong. The Emperor has countless concubines; if he were to love one person to the point of life and death, how could he possibly think it's normal?" Lang Jiuchuan smiled faintly: "If something abnormal is discovered, it will be the day your entire family is wiped out. And don't forget, the current royal family is also of Xuan clan origin; it wouldn't be difficult for them to detect the existence of the Love Gu."

The emperor is the supreme ruler, the Son of Heaven, and naturally considers himself to be the heaven. Since he is the heaven, how could he allow anyone to control or favor him?

Once a woman controls your life, thoughts, and actions, can you still love her?

"Xie Zhenming dared to use Gu to kill my father, and did it without anyone noticing. He's no fool; he dares to do something that defies the world. But it's different when it comes to a promising imperial physician. In that treacherous palace, a concubine with the full support of an imperial physician can save her life, eliminate dissidents, and consolidate her position." Lang Jiuchuan's eyes shone brightly as he spoke: "If that imperial physician rises to the highest position, or becomes the emperor's personal physician, then you know how much more room there is for manipulation."

For example, being able to know the emperor's health condition at any time, or to deliver a fatal blow at a critical moment.

Fu Qi remained silent for a long time before finally managing to utter, "Extreme intelligence is bound to be harmful. That's enough for you!"

Lang Jiuchuan: "..."
