Chapter 240 The Difficult Lianzhi Gu

Lu Jiangnian was silent.

It was something he should know.

But his mind was empty.

Yuan Wanru didn't urge him, but just looked at him coldly.

After a long while, Lu Jiangnian stretched out his long arm and placed it on the table: "Thank you."

Yuan Wanru's soft fingertips directly covered his pulse, and the warm touch made him very uncomfortable.

He tried to resist the urge to pull his arm back and said disapprovingly, "You should cover yourself with a handkerchief."

Yuan Wanru raised her eyes and glanced at him sideways, without answering, concentrating on taking his pulse.

Lu Jiangnian sat upright, trying his best to ignore the feeling of skin contact.

"Switch hands."

After Yuan Wanru took the pulse of her right hand, she raised her arm and motioned for him to take the pulse of her left hand.

He hesitated for a moment, met her light gaze, and quickly straightened his left arm.

The pulse was surging just now, but suddenly it beat slowly, and then turned sharply downward, with ups and downs unpredictable.

This is... Lianzhi Gu. Her face couldn't help but become a little heavy.

Lianzhi Gu can be said to be the most difficult Gu to cure.

Young poison worms are fed with thirty-six kinds of poisons and thirty-six kinds of antidotes. They are first fed poisons, then antidotes, and then the cycle continues, allowing the worms to struggle back and forth between poisoning and detoxification. Only after ten years can they hope to mature into poison worms.

Many poisonous insects could not survive and died.

Therefore, Lianzhi Gu is very rare.

It is recorded in "Miao Medical Gu Secrets" that once the mother and child Gu of Lianzhi Gu establish induction, their hearts are connected to each other.

The male Gu host will develop an irresistible feeling for the female Gu host, and will be deeply in love with her without regrets, and will no longer have eyes for anyone else.

The mother host will not have this problem.

However, Lianzhi Gu is not completely harmless to the mother Gu host. If the child Gu host is strong-willed, loyal to itself, and tries to break free from the mother Gu's control, the mother Gu host will suffer backlash and suffer damage to its heart meridians.

Lianzhi Gu has another side effect that is still uncertain. If one of two people who are connected by heart dies, the other will most likely die as well.

Why is it not determined yet?

The main reason is that since ancient times, Lianzhi Gu is too rare and there are not many cases. The statement in "Miao Medical Gu Secret" is just a guess and has not been confirmed.

As for the antidote to Lianzhi Gu, Yuan Wanru couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

It's as difficult as climbing to the sky.

According to the book, the Phoenix Jade Fruit in the antidote is a sacred medicine from Miaojiang, passed down from generation to generation by the Miaojiang Gu Sect. It is extremely rare and precious, and cannot be obtained by outsiders at all.

As she was thinking, she forgot to remove her fingers. Lu Jiangnian felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't help but coughed softly: "Are you done?"

Hearing this, Yuan Wanru snorted coldly and retracted her wrist.

Since it is the Lianzhi Gu, then if we push the time of infection back to the past, it will be clear how the infection occurred.

"You are indeed poisoned."

She told him the details of Lianzhi Gu, "At that time, the Immortal Drunk that Lu Wei asked you to drink not only contained drugs, but also Gu."

Yuan Wanru showed a mocking expression and said murderously: "She is really your good sister."

Lu Jiangnian recalled that in his memory, he had indeed forced Lu Wei to leave the palace.

He was drugged that day, so he and she...

Lu Jiangnian's throat tightened and he couldn't help but pick up the teacup and drink it all in one gulp.

Having said that, Lu Jiangnian could probably be sure that what Yuanshi said was basically true.

However, regarding what she said about their deep love and affection, he really felt nothing.

Yuan Wanru did not keep him in suspense and told him the solution to Lianzhi Gu.

"There are only a few records of the Phoenix Jade Fruit. It is still unknown whether it really exists."

"Even if it really exists, it is not easy to obtain the Phoenix Jade Fruit."

Lu Jiangnian's heart sank. Who would like to be controlled by others?

In his heart, he felt a deep disgust and strong murderous intent towards Liang Yusong.

"So what? I will never have any interest in anyone trying to manipulate me."

Yuan Wanru was not so optimistic. Things like Gu were inherently mysterious.

In modern times, she had never seen a real Gu, so she could not use medical knowledge to analyze what exactly caused Gu to produce such an effect.

"Xuan Huang has taken the Sleep Nightmare Gu. He has been studying it for a while and may have some results."

"After returning to the capital, notify Xuan Huang to go to Qi Huang Zhai. I want to work with him to find a way to help you control the influence of Lian Zhi Gu."

Lu Jiangnian glanced at her inconspicuously. She even knew about Xuan Huang. Could it be that he really had no secrets from her before?

"Um."

Then the room fell silent again.

Yuan Wanru kept searching for records about the Phoenix Jade Fruit in her mind.

I didn't even notice that it was already very late at night.

Lu Jiangnian didn't know what attitude he should take towards her. No matter how she described it, at this moment, sitting opposite her, his heart was as calm as still water, without a ripple at all.

Why hasn't she left yet?

Did she want him to go back to his room?

How could he refuse?

There was a crackling sound of firecrackers, and Yuan Wanru pressed her forehead, feeling a little headache.

Forget it, detoxification takes a long time, and staying up late won’t solve the problem.

She stood up and said calmly, "It's getting late. You should rest here tonight. Try to avoid Liang Yusong during this time."

"The more you come into contact with her, the more susceptible you will be to the influence of Lianzhi Gu."

After saying that, she turned around first, with no trace of nostalgia on her face.

Lu Jiangnian was stunned: "You..."

Yuan Wanru stopped and looked at him puzzledly: "Anything else?"

He was stunned for a moment, "Nothing."

"That's it for now. There's no rush to get rid of the poison. Just relax, keep calm, and keep a clear mind. There will always be a way."

It's completely the tone of a doctor.

Lu Jiangnian frowned, watching her slim figure disappear out the door, feeling very strange.

Isn't she afraid that he will fall in love with Liang Yusong?

It feels like she's not worried about him at all.

Xuan Qing came in with bedding and neatly made the bed, "Prince, you can go to bed now."

Lu Jiangnian stopped Xuan Qing who was about to leave and said, "How is my relationship with Yuanshi?"

This inexplicable sentence left Xuan Qing confused.

However, this question is easy to answer.

"Of course the prince and his wife are in perfect harmony, inseparable, talented and pretty, a match made in heaven, the envy of others."

Lu Jiangnian was silent for a while, then asked again: "Do you still remember what happened when I went to Nanjiang County?"

This question is even more confusing.

"Of course I remember. I was the first one to discover that Madam had left the capital."

"At that time, you asked for it... At that time, the prince and his wife had a small conflict. His wife had something to do in her hometown and left without saying goodbye. The prince made a prompt decision and left the capital the next day to catch up with his wife."

After Xuan Qing finished speaking, he looked at Lu Jiangnian suspiciously, not understanding why he asked these questions.

Lu Jiangnian did not hide it from him and told Xuanqing the matter of Lianzhi Gu.

"mean!"

Xuan Qing didn't expect that the prince was actually poisoned by a Gu!

Even the wife of the prince was helpless. He said with a sad face: "You must protect yourself and don't let Liang Yusong touch you, otherwise, the wife of the prince may not want you in the future."

"Remember this."

Lu Jiangnian said with a dark face: "Get lost."

Do these words make sense?
