Chapter 318 What Is Your Purpose?
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

At the end of summer, the heat has dissipated completely, and the bleak autumn wind blows the leaves yellow unconsciously.

In the past half a month, only Suyu was left to serve Mu Changge. Aunt Jiang wanted to send her a smarter maid several times, but she refused.

On this day, just after noon, when Suyu returned to her room, she put down the medicine bowl in her hand, "Miss, it's been half a month, what is your plan?"

"No rush." ​​Mu Changge got up, took the medicine, and poured it into a flowerpot beside him, "Why, but did someone in the palace urge you?"

Suyu said in a deep voice: "Isn't that true? The empress entrusted people from the palace to visit the young lady, and the servants followed the young lady's instructions, saying that the young lady had fallen asleep, and sent them back."

"The empress said she was here to visit a sick person. To put it bluntly, she still wants to remind the lady when she will enter the palace to accompany her to study again."

Mu Changge knew the empress's favor towards her. Given her current situation, it might not be bad to get closer to the empress.

It's just... If she wants to do what she wants, she has to be patient for the time being.

Putting the empty bowl back on the table, Mu Changge asked, "Where are the third and sixth princes?"

Ever since Concubine Han De's matter of raising Gu was exposed in front of the Queen Mother, the third prince Su Jingjia was somewhat implicated.Although he was not severely punished, he was grounded for half a month.

"The servants have already inquired clearly. The third prince's confinement has ended. I heard that as soon as he left the third prince's mansion, he went to the mass grave outside the city to cry."

"As for the sixth prince... the servant has been staring at him all the time, but on weekdays, the sixth prince, apart from staying in the mansion, just enters the palace to play chess with the emperor. The servant can't see anything unusual, please forgive the servant inability!"

Mu Changge's eyes darkened, and the light-white fingertips resting on the edge of the table exerted a slight force, "It's not that you are incompetent."

Su Hanyu's power had already grown its wings in the dark, so naturally he didn't need to do it himself. Suyu only stared at it for a while, so it was naturally difficult to find out anything.

"Don't worry." Mu Changge said coldly, "It's okay to come one by one for the time being."

Su Jingjia's confinement is over, so it's time for her to "recover" from the disease she patiently pretended to be.

"Whatever Miss wants to do, I will obey Miss." Suyu said while pushing another bowl of porridge forward, "The medicine is fake, but this porridge is real. Miss, please drink a few sips." , Miss has no appetite these days, and she has lost a lot of weight, and the slaves feel distressed when they see it, let alone the prince."

Taking the spoon and gently stirring the hot porridge, Suyu said again: "What's more, if the prince comes back and sees that the young lady has lost weight, he will have to scold the servants again."

"You have many reasons, I'll just drink it." Mu Changge felt a little helpless, and took the spoon, "What did the prince go back to Cangde this time?"

After the Yanyu Pavilion last time, Qi Jinzhi hurried back to Cangde the next day. Because he was in a hurry, he thought that Cangde had something urgent and had to rush back to deal with it.

This time, he left for half a month, and letters were often sent, but he only cared about her well-being, and never mentioned anything about Cangde.

"It's really embarrassing for a servant to ask this, the lady has never heard of it from the prince, how can the servant know?" Suyu laughed, "Miss, don't worry too much, in the letter that the prince sent to the lady last time, it was not Did you mention it, in a few days, you should be able to come back."

Mu Changge was about to put a spoonful of hot porridge into his mouth when someone knocked on the door.

"Who?" Su Yu asked.

"Aunt Jiang ordered the maidservant to come. Auntie said that she has lost weight these days, so she made some nourishing soup for her." A servant girl's crisp voice came from outside the door.

Suyu went to open the door, and there was a young girl guarding the outside, she looked young and unfamiliar, she should be a newcomer a few days ago.

The maid was holding a small casserole, and a strong aroma wafted from it.

"Miss, drink it while it's hot. Auntie reminded me ten thousand times, and I must let the slaves watch the lady drink it."

The little maid also had a sweet smile, she filled a bowl of soup deftly with her hands and feet, and held it in front of Mu Changge's eyes.

The milky white soup, with a few slices of coriander scattered on it, immediately filled the room with its aroma.

Mu Changge squeezed the spoon unhurriedly, blew on the still hot soup, and stopped without warning the moment the spoon was about to touch his lips.

Raising his gaze, Mu Changge looked at the little maid with a smile, "Is the soup poisonous?"

The little maid was ignorant and didn't understand what she meant at all, "What are you talking about, Miss Jiang, this soup was made by Aunt Jiang herself, how could Aunt Jiang poison you, Miss?"

Mu Changge chuckled lightly, his dark eyes had become extremely fierce, "The thing I've been most afraid of since I was a child is the smell of coriander. No matter who forgets it, my mother will never forget it! Who sent you here? !?"

Before she could give her orders, Suyu on the side had already made her move. Seeing that the soft sword was about to stab her, the little maid's face changed violently, and she dodged, and she didn't know what was in her hand. At that time, there were already two shining daggers.

Looking at the little maid again, the innocent and innocent look on her face was no longer there, "I wanted you to leave without knowing it, but who knew you would be so ignorant!"

Drinking in a low voice, she was about to rush forward with a dagger in hand. Suyu, who had been on guard for a long time, guarded Mu Changge firmly behind her while coping with her approach.

"Keep alive." Mu Changge took two steps back and said with Suyu.

"Yes, miss." Suyu responded calmly, the assassin in front of her was far inferior to her in skill, and it would not be difficult to capture him alive.

However, at this moment, Liu Yu'an's voice suddenly flashed out from the darkness, "I can't keep this alive!"

His movement was so fast that Suyu couldn't stop him at all. Seeing a flash of cold light, the assassin's head rolled down completely.

Liu Yu'an's short dagger was so sharp that the head fell to the ground, and blood gushed out from the wound.

Su Yu was immediately annoyed, and pointed the soft sword in her hand at Liu Yu'an unceremoniously, "What do you mean!? Don't think that you have any connection with Miss, I can't do anything to you!"

"Suyu." Mu Changge lightly raised his hand, signaling Suyu not to be impulsive.

"Ignorance." Liu Yu'an spit out these two words concisely, "I am helping you, don't be too ignorant."

After finishing speaking, Liu Yu'an walked to the side of the corpse, and raised his hand to hold the missing head in his hand.

"Look carefully." Liu Yu'an put the dagger on her biting lips, poked it out, raised it hard, and a huge black flesh worm fell on it with a thud.

The black meat worm was as thick as two fingers living side by side, and it wriggled on the ground fatly.Seeing this, Suyu only felt a churning in her stomach, an indescribable nausea.

How did she hide such a big bug in her mouth and still be able to speak normally! ?
"If you want to keep alive just to find out her origin, then you don't need to waste this effort. It must have been sent by other members of the Liu family. Even this thing is used. It seems that they are really eager Some are killing you."

Liu Yu'an threw away the head, squatted down, and gently fiddled with the black worm with the dagger.

Mu Changge and the two could see clearly, and in just a short moment, the worm's body quickly grew wings and tentacles, gradually changing from a fleshy worm to a moth.

Just when its wings were about to grow, Liu Yu'an's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he stabbed hard with the dagger, cutting him in half at the same time.

After the worm was severed, it writhed in agony and gradually turned into a puddle of viscous black liquid.

"If it matures, neither of you will be able to live." Liu Yu'an said, "This Gu worm can be said to be the most ferocious type. The eggs can only rely on human body heat to grow. In the blink of an eye, It can grow from an egg into a moth, and when it grows up, it will immediately explode the eggs in the body, and once it attaches to a person, it will penetrate into the body in the blink of an eye."

"As for what this person will look like after getting into the body... I think it's better not to say." When Liu Yu'an said these words, he sincerely glanced in Suyu's direction.

"So, you saved my life." Mu Changge frowned slightly, and glanced at the blood splattered all over the ground with his usual expression.

Liu Yu'an raised his gaze slightly, "I said before, I won't harm you."

"Really?" Mu Changge smiled meaningfully, narrowing his phoenix eyes slightly, "Whether you will harm me or not, we will find out in the future, but you lied to me, I don't know but you should do it." How to explain?"

Liu Yu'an squinted his eyes, "Tell me, when did I lie to you?"

"You said earlier that only the blood of the Liu family's direct relatives can inherit the matter of raising Gu. But you are not a real descendant of the Liu family, why do you know these Gu insects so well?"

Mu Changge looked at him with an extremely calm expression, "And this person, she can't possibly be the blood of the Liu family's direct relatives, why would she hide the Gu worms on her body?"

"What is true and what is false about what you said earlier?"

"Everything I said is true. As for the Gu worm..."

As soon as Liu Yu'an opened his mouth, Mu Changge saw a bit of seriousness in his eyes for the first time.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Yu'an spoke again, "I have never lied to you. For thousands of years, the Liu family has indeed confirmed that only the descendants of the descendants can learn how to raise Gu."

"And I am indeed not the real blood of the Liu family, but I am also the only outsider who has learned the art of raising Gu in countless generations of the Liu family. But I didn't get it by heresy ways. What I learned was all hand-held by my ancestors. Taught me this outsider."
