Chapter 75: This is just the worst outcome

Xie Yingmian's expression turned serious.

"Fu Mo probably told you that last night your body was covered with red marks. Although those red marks have faded, I'm not sure if they will come back."

Yu Lingye frowned: "Hasn't it been taken out?"

Xie Yingmian sighed: "That's the problem."

"That's what I want to tell you."

"Due'e Twin Gu and Du'e Gu are two different concepts."

"How do you put it?"

Xie Yingmian couldn't find the right words for a while.

"Let me think about it first. I'll think about how I can explain it to you more clearly."

After organizing her words for a while, she spoke again.

"An ordinary Du'e Zi Gu is just a simple Zi Gu."

"Due'e Twin Gu is not just a Twin Gu. It's called a Twin Gu, but no one can be sure it's twins. It could be three or four."

"There may be other immature sub-gu hidden within the Du'e Twin Gu."

Seeing Yu Lingye was puzzled.

Xie Yingmian gave an inappropriate example.

"Let me give you an example."

"A simple Du'ezi Gu is like an eggshell with only one egg inside."

"Due'e Twin Gu, there's only one egg inside the eggshell, at least from the outside it looks like there's only one egg."

"But when you open it, you'll find it has double, triple, or even quadruple yolks. In short, it's hard to tell how many yolks are inside just by looking at the outside."

Yu Lingye: "Generally speaking, double-yolk eggs are slightly larger than regular eggs, and they are easy to distinguish with the naked eye."

Xie Yingmian: ...

The question raised by Yu Gangjing is very good.

It’s great that he, a prince, can actually tell the difference between double-yolk eggs and single-yolk eggs.

Xie Yingmian took out two strands of hair and said, "So, can you tell which one is thicker, this one or that one?"

"For eggs, perhaps they can be distinguished by size."

"But the Gu worms themselves are extremely small. When they're full of blood, they're only the size of a grain of rice. When they're in the egg stage, they're even smaller. I'm afraid it's difficult to tell apart with the naked eye."

"Also, this is not the point, don't get sidetracked."

"The point is, if there are other yolks inside, that is, insect eggs, then it will be a bit troublesome."

"Those eggs haven't hatched yet, so there's no way to prevent them."

"Once the eggs hatch, it's completely unknown what kind of damage they'll cause you."

Yu Lingye understood.

His expression remained unchanged, showing no emotion.

Xie Yingmian added, "But don't worry too much, this is just the worst possible outcome."

"I think you shouldn't be that unlucky."

"No matter what your reasons are for not wanting to talk about the Mother Gu, since I've taken your money, I must be loyal to you."

"Whether you hate it or reject it, I still want to remind you that the most thorough solution is to find the mother Gu and eliminate it once and for all."

Yu Lingye's expression remained unchanged.

He was as indifferent and cold as ever, and his expression couldn't reveal any emotion.

Xie Yingmian had said everything he needed to say.

She didn't consider what Yu Lingye was thinking.

She slept outside all night and felt very uncomfortable with her back and waist aching.

"If there is nothing else, don't disturb me. I need to rest." Xie Yingmian said.

Yu Lingye looked out the window and said, "It's getting late, let's eat first."

Xie Yingmian was indeed a little hungry.

"Indeed, we must eat first..."

Speaking of meals, Xie Yingmian suddenly remembered the snail noodle soup she made.

"By the way, where's my soup?"

Her soul soup should be ready.

Thinking of the soul snail noodles, Xie Yingmian's appetite was whetted.

Yu Lingye frowned.

If I remember correctly, the soup in Xie Yingmian's mouth was the stuff with a strong fishy smell.

Come to think of it, that indescribable smell seemed to have never appeared since he came back.

"I'm not sure, ask Fu Mo?"

Xie Yingmian called Fu Mo over.

Fu Mo was confused: "What soup?"

"It's the soup I made on the small stove at the back of the kitchen," Xie Yingmian said. "When Nanny Jiang called me away, didn't I specifically remind you to lower the heat for me?"

Fu Mo remembered.

"You mean those stinky things?"

"The fire was a little too high, and it boiled dry. The contents of the pot looked like shit. I could smell something wrong, and the color was even more wrong."

"That thing is so fishy and the color looks so unappetizing."

"So?" Xie Yingmian's voice was grim.

Fu Mo scratched his head and said, "So, I buried the pot and its contents under a tree not far away."

The veins on Xie Yingmian's forehead twitched several times.

The snail noodle soup that she had been looking forward to for a long time was ruined by Fu Mo.

She also wanted to wait until the soup was ready so that she could recreate the soul-stirring midnight snack of snail noodles that she had longed for.

As a result, he died before he could accomplish his mission.

"Okay, I'll remember you." Xie Yingmian gritted her teeth and said to Fu Mo, "When I succeed in replicating it, there will be no place for you."

Fu Mo was confused.

He didn't know what he did wrong.

That's clearly a pile of poop.

Why is the princess so obsessed with that thing? There is no shortage of food in the palace.

Fu Mo asks Yu Lingye for help.

Yu Lingye pretended not to see it.

Without the soup, Xie Yingmian's plan to replicate the snail noodles failed, and she also lost her soul.

He had a quick breakfast and went back to his room to recuperate.

Last night, she took the opportunity to ask Fu Mo to bring a lot of tonic medicine for her condition.

The tonics were of good quality. She simply ground them into powder, rolled them into pills and took them.

After taking the pill, I fell asleep quickly.

When she woke up, the medicine had taken effect and the pain was much relieved.

Xie Yingmian put on a coat and walked out.

After taking two steps, he found Yu Lingye's tall body curled up on a soft couch not far away, sleeping soundly.

Xie Yingmian was a little surprised to see Yu Lingye sleeping very uncomfortably.

Why doesn't this person go to bed?

It wasn't the first time they slept in the same bed, so she didn't care about the differences between men and women.

This person insists on curling up on this small couch. This is not just asking for trouble.

After complaining in his heart, Xie Yingmian went to the outer room.

Someone was arguing in the yard at the bottom of his voice.

Fu Mo lowered his voice to a whisper, but one could clearly hear the anger in it: "Imperial Physician Cui, I respect you as a highly respected imperial physician, and I've always been kind to you."

"Is it because I'm too polite to you that you think I'm easy to talk to?"

"I've already told you, the prince is resting, the princess is resting too, the prince doesn't need you to take his pulse, don't you understand?"

"If the Concubine Dowager asks, tell her directly that the prince is fine and you can go back quickly."

Doctor Cui's face turned red and white after hearing what Fu Mo said.

"No, I must see the prince today."

"I must check the prince's pulse again."

"I won't disturb you. I'll just wait here. When the prince wakes up, please help pass the message."

Fu Mo was completely speechless.

Yesterday, because of this old man's wrong diagnosis, the prince was almost in danger.

It would have been fine if he didn't go and fight the old man.

This old man actually dared to stake out in Danyue Courtyard!
