Chapter 255 Strange Things

Doctor Yu said embarrassedly, "Actually, I read it in a martial arts novel."

Hu Xiner frowned, it seems that Old Man Dou is more reliable.

Old Man Dou ignored the two of them and instead carefully examined Feng Ge's body, muttering to himself, "I've only heard rumors of this before, and I thought it was impossible for such a bizarre thing to exist. After all, how could a Gu worm survive in a human body? But now that I've seen it, I'm shocked. The world is so big, there really are all kinds of strange things!"

"Then how should this disease be treated?" Hu Xiner asked worriedly.

Old man Dou withdrew his gaze reluctantly, then began to pace on the spot with his hands behind his back.

Hu Xin'er hesitated and said, "You wouldn't..."

Old Man Dou was a little embarrassed: "This kind of witchcraft is not something that everyone can do, and it usually appears in southern Xinjiang. This is the first time I've seen it, so I don't know how to treat it."

Hu Xin'er's pupils shrank: "Does that mean Feng Ge is beyond saving?"

how so?

She didn't even have time to interrogate him!

At this moment, a light bulb went off in her mind, and she suddenly remembered that when Mu Qing was unconscious, Feng Ge took her to Chunfengzui!

There, Feng Ge talked about the red mole on his wrist, but at that time Hu Xin'er had been working hard for days and was exhausted both mentally and physically, so she only remembered some important information from the conversation.

Since nothing related to the red mole happened afterwards, this memory was buried in a corner.

Old Man Dou pondered for a moment and said, "This Gu took effect so quickly. Since it has appeared, the person who cast it must still be nearby or have a connection with this patient. If you take the trouble to investigate, you may be able to find someone who can cure the disease before he dies!"

Hu Xin'er's heart sank. "Godfather, how many days can he last with this illness?"

She recalled this incident again - Feng Ge once said that the insect on his wrist was used by Chunfengzui to control his subordinates!

And isn’t Jiang Yao the mastermind behind Chun Feng Zui?

Old Man Dou pondered for a moment. "I'll prescribe some mild tonic medicine for him, but even so, he can only last 1-3 days."

After prescribing the medicine, he left, saying that he would go back to check the medical books.

Hu Xiner thanked him and then went to find Jiang Yao without stopping.

Oh my God, a terrible guess emerged in her mind. Could it be that Jiang Yao sent someone to assassinate the emperor?

However, Jiang Yao's room was empty!

Hu Xin'er stood there blankly, and suddenly felt that the wind blowing on her body was so cold.

Yun Qiu offered her a cloak with some concern: "Young Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Hu Xin'er suddenly turned around: "Let's go find the old lady!"

At this time, Lu's mother was chanting in the small Buddhist hall.

When she heard that Hu Xin'er had arrived, she came out with a smile: "Xin'er, what's the matter?"

Hu Xin'er suppressed the thoughts surging in her heart and said with a smile, "Mom, why isn't my aunt at home?"

Mother Lu shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

Hu Xiner was a little disappointed, but suddenly remembered another message revealed in Feng Ge's previous words.

She chatted with Mother Lu for a while, then turned the topic to her wedding with Mu Qing, asking indirectly, "Mother, does Lu Yunjue have a cinnabar mole on his right wrist?"

Mother Lu's eyes showed nostalgia and sadness: "Yes, I relied on that cinnabar mole to distinguish Mu'er from Jue'er."

"Then..." Hu Xin'er unconsciously pinched the corner of her clothes, "Is Lu Yunjue's mole natural?"

Mother Lu actually shook her head. "That mole appeared after he grew up. Originally, the mole was light in color, so we didn't notice it. But one day, when he accompanied me to burn incense, we met an old fortune teller. The old man calculated that he was born with a peach blossom mole..."

The more Hu Xin'er listened, the more frightened she became.

Mother Lu put down the Buddhist beads in her hand and fell into reminiscence as she spoke: "At that time, I teased him, saying that he should avoid attracting romantic interests and get married and have children as soon as possible, but I never thought..."

She couldn't help but shed tears again. She raised her sleeves to wipe her tears and kept silent, for fear that she would reveal her crying as soon as she opened her mouth.

Seeing this, Hu Xin'er quickly said, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned these things that made Mother sad!"

Mother Lu choked and just shook her head.

Hu Xiner comforted Lu's mother for a long time before leaving.

On the way back, I went to Jiang Yao's room again, but still no one was there.

"Yunqiu, you stay here and tell me as soon as you see your aunt come back." She rubbed her head with a headache.

Yun Qiu responded and left.

After all this trouble, it was already evening.

Layers of dark clouds obscured the moon, and although there were a few twinkling stars, their light was very dim.

Hu Xiner felt irritated while sitting in the room and couldn't help but walk to the yard to get some fresh air.

She stood in the yard, looking at the moon silently. The bleak night wind blew from all directions, making people feel cold in their hearts.

She didn't know why she suddenly thought of Lu Yunjue's mole.

Lu Yunjue was clearly dead, and the cause of death was not some poisonous insect. Moreover, the cinnabar mole on his body appeared many years ago, which did not coincide with the time when Jiang Yao was in charge of Chunfengzui.

Even if he didn't die, how could the son of a prime minister and a nobleman in the capital be involved with some poisonous insect?

At that time, Prime Minister Lu was still alive. How could he tolerate his only heir being infected with a poisonous insect?

Thinking of this, she sighed and thought it was probably a coincidence.

Mu Qing was right. She was a little paranoid and actually linked two completely unrelated things together.

She thought self-deprecatingly that maybe she had been thinking too much recently, and her limited brain capacity had been turned into a mess.

Sure enough, this kind of suspenseful stuff is not suitable for her. She is only suitable for writing and making money.

She looked at the moon quietly, lost in thought for a while.

Footsteps were heard. Mu Qing had just returned home. He was going to pay his respects to his aunt and mother, but he heard that one of them had gone out and the other had locked herself in.

Although he was a little surprised, he didn't think much about it.

As soon as I walked into the archway, I saw Hu Xiner standing in the yard admiring the moon, and a trace of tenderness arose in my heart.

He walked gently behind Hu Xin'er, then reached out and flicked her forehead: "Madam, what are you doing?"

Hu Xin'er snapped back to her senses, clutching her forehead and complaining, "What are you doing? I'm admiring the moon!"

Mu Qing couldn't help but chuckle, "Madam, you're so leisurely and elegant. Are you planning to depict Chang'e flying to the moon in your next work?"

Hu Xin'er complained: "This is too cliché! By the way, you are in such a good mood today, how are you doing in the palace? Did you find anything new?"

When it came to serious matters, Mu Qing put away his previous joking attitude and his expression unconsciously became solemn.

He pulled Hu Xin'er into the house and said, "Xin'er, I found some strange things in the prince's study today..."
