Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Moving the Spider to Marry the Gu
Hanyu fell into coma so suddenly that he panicked. He quickly carried her to the room in the post station and asked someone to call a doctor. However, it was difficult to find a doctor in this place as there was no village nearby and no shop nearby.
Her whole body was burning hot, and her face was pale, but the spider mark on her chest was exceptionally red, like weeping blood, and it seemed as if something alive was moving under her skin.
"What is this?"
At this time, Yin Jinglong didn't care about the difference between men and women, or the avoidance of suspicion between uncle and sister-in-law. He pulled open Hanyu's front and saw that the red spider mark began to bleed, and a black spider leg stretched out from the spider eye.
He immediately realized that it was very likely that the sub-parasite in her body was about to escape.
"Why is this happening?"
The guard reported, "Your Highness, the innkeeper's wife said she's sent for a doctor, but he won't be here until tomorrow morning at the earliest."
"No need to call a doctor, go get that spider for me! Quick!"
"promise!"
If Hanyu suddenly became like this because of the poisonous insect, then only the witch Zhu could save her.
The spider had been away for half a day and it was night when she returned to the post station. The guards hurriedly brought her into the room. Seeing the dying Hanyu, the spider frowned and immediately went forward to check.
"It's your poisonous insect that's causing all this trouble! If anything happens to her, I'll make sure you're buried with her!" Yin Jinglong grabbed her throat and threatened her.
"Even if the prince kills me, he can't save her! The poison has already invaded her heart. Whether I remove it or not, she's in grave danger."
The spider's words pressed him to the limit, and he increased his strength, as if he really wanted her to be buried with him.
At this moment, the spider pointed at Yin Jinglong and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness, the only one who can save her now is you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yin Jinglong let go instantly, and the spider, which breathed a sigh of relief, collapsed to the ground.
"Please explain clearly, how can I save her?"
"The young Gu in Miss Hanyu's body invaded the heart and devoured the host due to a mutation. It hasn't yet reached the point of being uncontrollable. The mother Gu in the prince's body can still control it and delay its progress in devouring the heart, perhaps saving her life."
The spider rubbed his neck, which was scarlet from being strangled, and continued, "But the poisonous insect in her body must be removed. Otherwise, when it absorbs her essence and blood and becomes too powerful to be controlled, it will be troublesome."
She stood up and walked to Hanyu, pulled out a small silver-bladed knife from her waist, and used the tip of the knife to cut out the spider mark.
The intense pain woke up the sleeping Hanyu. She widened her eyes, grabbed the spider's knife handle with both hands and retreated, her knuckles turning white.
"Your Highness, why are you still standing there? Come and help control her! If the poisonous insect is not removed, she will hardly survive."
Seeing Hanyu in so much pain, Yin Jinglong couldn't bear it, but in order to keep her alive, he had no choice but to help tie up her struggling limbs.
The spider mark under the silver blade was cut off bit by bit, and blood spurted out from the chest. The already weak Han Yu gradually lost the strength to struggle and fainted again.
The poisonous insect was also taken out at this time, and the spider handed the little spider covered in blood to Yin Jinglong for a look.
"The poison has been removed. Her life is safe for now. Your Highness, please find someone to bandage her wounds!"
After the poisonous insect leaves the host, it will die in less than half an hour. The spider did not care about Hanyu's wound and hurriedly took the separated little spider away.
Yin Jinglong noticed that she was acting suspiciously, so he sent someone to follow her secretly, while he stayed by Hanyu's side all the time. He took out the golden medicine he carried with him, sprinkled it on her chest, and carefully bandaged her wound and put on her clothes.
He gently stroked Hanyu's snow-white face, his fingertips passed over the tip of her nose, and felt that she was breathing lightly. The warm palm of his hand gradually became cold, and he became vaguely worried.
The doctor called by the innkeeper came overnight and prescribed a blood-replenishing and healing medicine for her, and also prepared some detoxifying Chinese medicine for her.
After drinking the medicine, Hanyu's body gradually warmed up. The doctor took his pulse and said that his pulse was rapid and his qi was weak because of the cold body and blood loss. It would be difficult to replenish his qi in a short time.
In addition, the most important thing right now is the wound on her chest. If the wound becomes a sore, it will increase the amount of toxins entering the blood, which will be even more dangerous.
In order to prevent the wound from developing sores, there is no better way than to change the dressing frequently and take good care of it.
The guard who went to investigate the mystery came back to report the whereabouts of the spider. He learned that the spider had brought the dying poisonous insect into the Miao village and wanted to meet a white-haired man.
Yin Jinglong recalled that the spider had once mentioned her master in southern Xinjiang. Could it be that the white-haired man she went to meet was the mysterious master she was talking about?
"Very good! Keep searching! Find out the identity and whereabouts of that white-haired man for me! Don't alert the enemy."
"promise!"
Yin Jinglong calculated the time and found that he had left Beijing without permission for five days, which was a few days later than he expected. However, Hanyu still had not woken up. He was worried about leaving her alone at the post station and was in a dilemma for a moment.
At the same time, a masked thief appeared in Prince Yin's mansion far away in Shangjing last night.
Around midnight last night, the patrolling guards saw a fire in the prince's study, but the prince was not in the capital, so how could there be someone in the study?
When the guard went forward to check, he accidentally alarmed the people inside. He saw a man in black wearing a facial mask climbing out of the east window and running quickly towards the dungeon.
"Don't run away, little thief ahead!"
The patrolling guards went forward to chase him, but the masked thief was agile and shook him off in a few moves.
The noise of the chase woke up the sleeping Steward Xu. Hearing that a thief had sneaked into the palace, he lost all sleepiness and immediately dispatched all the guards in the palace to catch the thief.
Steward Xu walked into the study room that the thief had just broken into and carefully examined it. This study room was a confidential place in the palace! So far, except for Min Hanyu, an outsider, the prince would not let anyone else set foot in it. I really don't know what that cunning thief was doing in the study room?
There are only memorials and some ancient books and documents here, nothing valuable, unless...
Steward Xu suddenly realized, "Could it be that he wasn't trying to steal money, but the prince's jade seal? This is bad, this is bad! The jade seal is a symbol of the regent's power. If it's lost, His Majesty will punish him!"
He hurriedly searched the study for the place where the prince kept the jade seal, but he couldn't find any trace of the jade seal.
"Could it be that the thief stole it? This is tragic! This is tragic! I, Old Xu, haven't even had the chance to marry and have children in this lifetime, is my life going to be ruined by this abominable thief?"
That night, the palace guards searched the entire residence but failed to catch the thief wearing a mask. Manager Xu sat dejectedly in front of the study door.
The guard reported to him: "This matter is of great importance. Sir, please inform the prince of this matter!"
"Spread it! Spread it! Anyway, your head and mine are already on the belt, we are just waiting for the order of the prince to kill us."
"Master Steward, there's no need to be so pessimistic. Perhaps the jade seal has already been taken away by the prince, and the thief just now didn't succeed. The most important thing right now is to cover up the fact that the prince is not in the palace. In a few days, a eunuch will send a memorial from the palace for the prince to review. You should think of a way to forge a jade seal!"
The guard's words woke the dreamer up. Now that the jade seal is not there and the prince is not at home, someone has to approve the memorials sent from the palace every month!
Manager Xu immediately became alert again, found other reviewed memorials in the study, copied the seal, and sent someone to secretly forge a jade seal.
The masked thief Zhang's whereabouts are erratic, and he might be a veteran. If he's after money, I'm not afraid of him, but I'm afraid he has other intentions.
After that night, the guards at the palace became stricter than ever before. Several older stewards took turns to stand guard, determined to catch the rampant thief!
On the other side, Prince Yin, who was far away in the southern border, was waiting for Hanyu to wake up. However, after sleeping for a whole day and a night, although her body gradually returned to normal, her consciousness was still not awake.
The spider returned with a message for Yin Jinglong: "I have consulted the elders of the village since I returned this time. Miss Hanyu has not yet woken up because of the soul-eating disease she contracted after the poisonous insect was removed."
What is soul-eating disease? According to the spider, after a certain period of time, the Gu worm gradually merges with the host, gradually eroding the host's heart and soul and sucking the host's blood. If the host cannot control it, the host and the Gu worm will eventually perish together.
The poisonous insect was taken out, but it had sucked too much of Han Yu's blood and had also disturbed her mind. So even if her body was saved, it was difficult to awaken her soul, and she turned into a living dead.
"So, according to you, she is beyond saving? But what if I insist on saving her? No matter what crooked methods I have to use, I will save her!"
The spider held its head in thought and murmured, "I do have a crooked way, but it will cost you, Your Highness. I wonder if Your Highness is willing to try it?"
"What method? What price will it cost?"
"This method is called 'Transferring the Spider to Marry the Gu,' which involves transferring the mother Gu within you, Your Highness, that once sucked your blood, into Miss Hanyu's body to repair her heart and soul. Of course, the price is that Your Highness will have to lie here as a living dead in her place. This method is commonly known as 'borrowing a life,' and because it's so unorthodox, it's considered a forbidden technique by the people of Southern Xinjiang. Would Your Highness be willing to try it?"
As the lives of two people were at stake, Yin Jinglong was unable to make a decision for a while. The spider gave him space to think alone and handed him the newly born parasite in his hand.
"I promised to give you this newly born protozoan. I hope it can be of help this time!"
After she left, Yin Jinglong returned to Hanyu's bedside. All the grudges of his previous life and the love, hatred and emotions of this life were intertwined. He could no longer tell what his feelings were for her.
He took Hanyu's slender hand and told her his true feelings: "Do you know how much I hope he can come back at this moment? That way, at least he can still accompany you after I leave, instead of the three of us going to hell together like in the last life."
He sighed, "What I owed you in my last life, I must repay you in this one. How can fate be so ridiculous? If there is an afterlife, when you know that it was me who died for you in this life, will you still fall in love with him?"
