Chapter 86 Temptation

The insect's body was nailed down, and it finally realized the danger.

With a slight sneer, everyone present felt dizzy.

If someone else were in this situation, they would probably be killed twice.

It’s a pity that no matter how powerful it is, it is just a bug with its body nailed down.

Moreover, Doctor Hua was well prepared. He suddenly stabbed his own hand with a golden needle. The pain made him regain consciousness. Doctor Hua then poured the prepared medicine on it.

After a series of sharp cries, the insect became limp and no longer had the energy to struggle.

Chu Ci was both afraid and curious. So he asked tentatively, "Master, can we take a look at it?"

Doctor Hua nodded, "Don't move the golden needle yet."

It was only then that Chu Ci and the others discovered that this insect not only could fly, but also had a mouth full of sharp fangs.

"This... this thing, how exactly was it cultivated?" The fifth prince was the first one who couldn't stand it anymore. He quickly took a step back and then asked.

Chu Chengyun and the head of the Chu family also felt scared, and they turned to look at Doctor Hua.

Doctor Hua understood their concerns. "I've read about this in an ancient book before. It's probably about letting a bunch of insects kill each other, and then adding some poison. Some are even kept in the body by the Gu Master."

But this sentence not only does not have any comforting effect, but makes people feel more horrified, right?

"So there is a more powerful poison than the one in Chu Ling'er? Is there any way to prevent or treat it?" The fifth prince felt a chill on his back at this moment.

Doctor Hua shook his head. "However, the conditions for refining the poison are extremely harsh. Not everyone is worthy of having such a precious thing used."

But these words may be useful to ordinary people.

The dignified Fifth Prince already had a high status and had encountered all kinds of methods. Now he knew some methods that could influence people invisibly and even kill people invisibly. How could he remain calm?

The Fifth Prince was in a state of panic, but he tried his best to maintain composure. Finally, unable to contain himself any longer, he said, "I'm going to go out for some fresh air."

Turned and left the house.

Not long after the fifth prince left the house, Chu Ling'er opened her eyes and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"It hurts, it hurts so much! Help me." Chu Ling'er felt as if her internal organs were being cut by a knife. She could no longer care about anything else and begged for help from the people present.

Doctor Hua heard Chu Ling'er's cry for help, took out a small bottle from the medicine box, and poured out a black pill, "Take this medicine, it can temporarily relieve the pain."

Chu Ling'er didn't bother to listen to what Doctor Hua said, she just instinctively took the pill and swallowed it.

After about a quarter of an hour, the pain gradually subsided, and Chu Linger stared at Chu Ci with resentment: "Your goal has been achieved, you can let me go now!"

Chu Ci stared at Chu Ling'er for a long time. The original owner was actually forced to death by such a brainless person?

Why do I feel so pathetic?

But Chu Ci wasn't the type to let himself get frustrated. If he felt bad, he'd naturally make Chu Ling'er feel worse. "I'm afraid you didn't listen to the Tsinghua genius doctor. That pill can only temporarily relieve your pain, it won't cure it."

"This is not your business." Chu Ling'er still insisted.

Chu Ci rolled his eyes after hearing this, too lazy to waste time talking to someone who couldn't understand him, "Your fate can only be jail."

As soon as Chu Ci finished speaking, Xiao Wu and Mo Yan tactfully took Chu Ling'er away. But not long after, they came running back with terrified faces.

"Master, Young Madam. That woman aged decades in the blink of an eye, her hair turning white and her face wrinkled."

Everyone present had a rough guess, but they still turned their attention to Dr. Hua, who lived up to everyone's expectations. "This is a sign of backlash. I thought it was just a rumor, but I never thought it was true."

"I guess everything has a price. I just wonder if Chu Ling'er will resent the person who cast the curse on her." Chu Ci whispered to himself.

Then Chu Ci had a flash of inspiration, "Husband, what do you say we should talk to the Fifth Prince and have Chu Ling'er released?"

Fan Jingrui instantly understood Chu Ci's intention: "Didn't my wife say that she was quite strange? Aren't you afraid of the worst?"

"That's the emperor's headache. I'm just making a suggestion." Chu Ci said in a dishonest manner.

Seeing Fan Jingrui's disapproval, Chu Ci remained confident and said, "My dear husband, have you ever heard of 'one should not meddle in the affairs of another'? Or 'interfering in other's affairs'?"

"This is inappropriate, absolutely inappropriate. If our high and mighty emperor dislikes us and considers this an offense, will we be exiled again?"

The Fifth Prince and the Purple-Robed Envoy had just hurried back upon learning of Chu Ling'er's aging. [Should they hear such outrageous words, or should they not?]

In an instant, the Fifth Prince decided to pretend he hadn't heard anything. His father and mother's actions were indeed unkind. With a fake cough, the Fifth Prince shouted, "Are you serious? Father is really going to appoint Old Man Chu as the Lianzhou Agricultural Promotion Envoy?"

Although the Purple Envoy is loyal to the emperor, every human being has his own ideas.

Moreover, as a Purple Envoy, he was in possession of many secrets. Naturally, he knew that the Emperor was both eager to employ and distrustful of the Fan family.

He immediately followed the Fifth Prince's words and said, "That's right, the imperial edict will be delivered in three days."

Chu Ci in the room, [What does this mean, is the emperor trying to snatch her away? ]

Fan Jingrui now understood Chu Ci's thoughts more and more. He smiled slightly and said, "My wife, this world is not suitable for doing good deeds without leaving a name."

Chuci: ...

She turned her head and stared at Fan Jingrui for a long time, "Husband, can you be considered to have come to your senses?"

When Fan Jingrui heard this, his whole body seemed to blossom. "My wife, you have taught me so much through words and deeds. If I don't make any progress, wouldn't I be letting you down?"

When Fan Jingrui heard Chu Ci's words, he seemed to be illuminated, radiating a different spirit. "My lady, you have taught me by example for so long. If I don't make any progress, wouldn't I be letting you down?"

Chu Ci, is this still the upright, noble, modest and elegant gentleman she had in her previous impression?

But damn, Fan Jingrui is damn much to her liking now. Thinking of this, Chu Ci swallowed unconsciously. "Husband, are you tempting me?"

How can such words be said so easily?

Even though Fan Jingrui had become much thicker-skinned after following Chu Ci, he was still choked and coughing.

Doctor Fan immediately gave Chu Ci an injection, sealing his muteness on the spot. "We three old men are still here!"
