Chapter 533: Feng Qing betrayed me

"When I ordered people to find a wet nurse, I specifically looked for a woman with a clean background. Even so, tragedy could not be avoided."

"One of the wet nurses was controlled by a poisonous insect, which entered Yu Meng's body through her milk."

"By the time Feng Qing discovered it, the poison had already taken root in Yu Meng's body."

"When the Gu worm attacked, Yu Meng's body turned purple and she was on the verge of death," Yu Lingye said. "All the doctors in the Imperial Hospital were helpless against the Gu worm."

"Fortunately, Pei Xun was there at that time. Pei Xun and Feng Qing worked together to rescue Yu Meng."

"But, we can only save her. We can't cure the poison. Yu Meng will still die."

"Yu Meng was already weak, and after being tortured by the poisonous insects, her life force was almost gone. Feng Qing stayed with Yu Meng all night long."

"When Yu Meng's parasite attacked again, Feng Qing made a deal with the person who had poisoned her."

"I'm sure you've guessed what the deal was about." He looked at Xie Yingmian, his expression showing neither sadness nor joy. "Feng Qing betrayed me."

"In order to cure Yu Meng's poison, she planted the mother Du'e Gu in herself, and then she planted the child Du'e Gu in me."

"Later, she confessed the incident to me. She said she had no regrets and that I could kill her or chop her up as I pleased."

"Yu Meng was poisoned by a Gu in Prince Ling's mansion. I also ordered someone to find a wet nurse. Yu Meng is my daughter in name only. I have an unshirkable responsibility for Yu Meng's poisoning."

"Feng Qing betrayed me to save Yu Meng. I can't judge whether this was right or wrong."

"It just so happened that Shen Tingsi's mother was in trouble, and Feng Qing's adoptive mother came to ask for help. I asked Feng Qing to take Yu Meng to the Shen residence."

"That's how it is."

Xie Yingmian grabbed Yu Lingye's hand and said, "Yu Meng's poison has been cured, but not completely, right?"

Yu Lingye knew that he couldn't hide it from Xie Yingmian.

He sighed faintly, "That's right, Feng Qing was deceived."

"After Feng Qing forced the insect out, she thought she had successfully expelled it. In fact, the insect was a twin. After forcing one out, there was still one left."

"The remaining one is in a dormant state. Under normal circumstances, Yu Meng does not show any abnormalities. However, the person who poisoned it can awaken the remaining insect through a specific method."

"The person who poisoned Feng Qing used this method to control her."

"In order to protect Yu Meng, Feng Qing repeatedly harmed herself at the behest of the person who cast the Gu. Her injuries were transferred to me through the Deliverance Gu..."

"To be precise, when Feng Qing injures herself, the mother Du'e Gu passes the damage to the son Du'e Gu, and the son Du'e Gu will inflict the same damage on me."

Xie Yingmian was speechless for a long time.

No wonder Yu Lingye’s attitude is so strange every time the mother Gu is mentioned.

Yu Meng was to be adopted by Yu Lingye. It was a decision Yu Lingye made on his own initiative in order to preserve Lu Jiuyuan's bloodline.

Since Yu Lingye has adopted her as his daughter, he must be responsible for her.

Feng Qing cast a curse on herself and Yu Lingye in order to save Yu Meng.

No one can tell who is right and who is wrong.

Xie Yingmian asked, "Have you ever thought that maybe I could cure Yu Meng's poison?"

Yu Lingye: "I thought of it a long time ago."

"I wrote to Feng Qing, but she didn't respond."

"She probably doesn't believe it, or maybe she doesn't want to take Yu Meng into danger."

Xie Yingmian felt that something was wrong.

The news that she was the descendant of the Gu Saint had spread a long time ago.

Feng Qing was beside Shen's mother, and she should have known the news that Shen Tingsi's arm had been reattached.

Feng Qing is a doctor and should know the title of Gu Saint.

Since Feng Qing values ​​Yu Meng so much and has a way to cure Yu Meng's poisonous insect, there is no reason for Feng Qing to avoid her.

unless----

Feng Qing had reasons why she had to do this.

Xie Yingmian picked up a piece of paper.

She wrote down the names of Feng Qing, Yu Meng, Yu Lingye, and Chen Tingsi on the paper.

"What is Feng Qing's relationship like with her adoptive parents?"

Yu Lingye: "Excellent."

"Feng Qing's adoptive parents lost their son at a young age, and her adoptive mother's health collapsed due to the grief of losing her son, making her unable to have children again."

"When Feng Qing showed up at the government office, it had only been three months since the news of the Feng family's extermination. People were still in a state of panic. Fearing trouble, they didn't dare adopt Feng Qing."

"Feng Qing's adoptive father took a huge risk to bring Feng Qing home."

"After adopting Feng Qing, her adoptive mother's health improved day by day. They treated Feng Qing as their own daughter."

Xie Yingmian probably guessed what Feng Qing was worried about.

"What do you have to do next?"

Yu Lingye: "What do you want to do?"

Xie Yingmian: "Help me design a recruitment flyer."

She brought a piece of paper.

"The general idea is that affordable clinics need highly skilled doctors to see patients, and they're looking for talented doctors. The monthly salary and various benefits are in place."

Yu Lingye: "Where to send it?"

Xie Yingmian: "The Imperial Hospital."

"My affordable clinic has more and more patients, and relying on just those few doctors is completely insufficient. There should be many old doctors in the Imperial Hospital who are about to retire and return home. It would be perfect for me to poach them."

Yu Lingye: ...

"Who is your target?" he asked.

Xie Yingmian gave Yu Lingye a thumbs-up: "Feng Qing's adoptive father."

Yu Lingye: "You probably can't steal his girl."

"He is the current director of the Imperial Hospital."
