Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Cutting out the Heart and Removing the Gu
Yin Jinglong felt that the insect in his body seemed to be changing as well. Could it be that it was feeling so uncomfortable because it sensed that its sub-insect had died?
The female insect was moving around in his body, sometimes rushing to the deep of his abdominal cavity and causing him unbearable abdominal pain, and sometimes rushing to his chest and causing him to suffocate. The insect was like a spark that set the prairie on fire, and wherever it went, he felt a burning pain.
It's so uncomfortable! This feeling is worse than death!
His eyes were bloodshot, his hair stood on end with rage, and he strode out of the room, found the spider, and forced her to take it out for him now, immediately, right now!
Now is no longer the time for him to hesitate whether to save Hanyu. The mother Gu in his body seems to be eroding his meridians at an accelerated rate. If removing the mother Gu can relieve his physical pain and wake Hanyu up, why shouldn't he do it?
But the spider told him sincerely, "The pain you're feeling now is just a brief backlash from the mother Gu after losing her offspring. You'll be fine once you endure this pain. But if Your Majesty insists on removing it, both sides will suffer. The mother Gu will die, and so will you. Unless you're willing to try the 'Transfer Spider to Marry Gu' technique."
Yin Jinglong grabbed the spider's arm with his knuckles and ordered her, imploring her: "Try! Quickly! While I can still maintain my sanity."
"Okay! Come with me into the house."
The spider made him take off the clothes that covered his upper body, revealing the mark of the mother insect on his body.
Yin Jinglong, who was suffering from heart-wrenching pain, was restless. He struggled to tear his shirt. The old scar on his right arm was like a winding centipede clinging to his body, which would be shocking to anyone who saw it for the first time.
It was the first time that the spider had seen such a tortuous and ugly scar, and she was stunned for a moment.
"What are you waiting for? Get started!"
"But......"
"But what?"
"There's no spider mark on your body, so the mother Gu cannot be taken."
The spider's words hit him like a bolt of lightning, but he refused to believe it. He forced himself to calm down. Only by calming down could he feel where the poisonous insect was.
A moment later, he snatched the silver-bladed knife from the spider's hand and stabbed it towards his heart.
"Your Highness, are you trying to kill yourself? Gu worms are best at seeking advantage and avoiding harm. If you strike them with this knife, not only will you fail to catch them, but you will also injure your own vital parts!"
The spider tried to stop his next move, but Yin Jinglong stubbornly stabbed the tip of the knife into his skin. He was fighting the poisonous insect with his willpower.
"Doesn't it love to suck the blood from the heart the most? Then I will definitely trap it in the heart of my chest and quickly remove it. Remember this! No matter whether I live or die, I must save Min Hanyu!"
Seeing how determined he was, the spider knew it was useless to stop him, so she just watched as the tip of Yin Jinglong's knife cut through the skin on her chest, deep into her tendons and bones, leaving her flesh and blood all over the place.
She couldn't help crying. "Why did you do this? You sacrificed yourself just to let her live, but she still loves someone else in her heart. Is it really worth it?"
Yin Jinglong endured the severe pain and looked at the sleeping Hanyu with a wry smile.
"How could a witch like you understand? This has nothing to do with love. This is something I owed her in my past life."
The tip of his knife continued to pierce deeper into his chest, and the egg-sized poisonous insect appeared in the spider's belly. At this time, he knelt on his knees due to severe pain and excessive blood loss, unable to remove the poisonous insect.
Yin Jinglong looked up at the spider, asking for help with his eyes.
The spider quickly stepped forward and took out the mother insect. Her hands were stained with Yin Jinglong's blood. After the insect left her body, it did not forget to suck the blood remaining on her palm.
"Hurry! Save her..."
Yin Jinglong used his last bit of strength to say this before he fell down. His eyes showed that he had let go of the grudges in his previous life. When a man is about to die, he is kind. He didn't seem to hate his brother and father so much anymore.
If he could do it again, he wouldn't want to live such a tiring life.
It’s a pity that there is no if in all this. The grudges from the previous life can never be resolved and still entangle them in this life.
The spider quickly implanted the extracted mother insect into Hanyu's body. While waiting for Hanyu to wake up, there seemed to be a figure outside the window. The spider recognized the person and immediately invited him in.
"Master, do you want to save him?"
"I didn't expect that he would actually die for Min Hanyu."
The man she called 'Master' was dressed in a white robe, with loose silver hair. His expression was difficult to discern under the white veil covering his face.
Without the master's order, the spider dared not utter a word. It squatted beside Yin Jinglong, reaching out to touch the bleeding hole, muttering to itself, "His blood is actually warm? Isn't that ridiculous? The cruel and cold-blooded Regent actually has warm blood in his chest? I thought he didn't even have a heart! But he would actually die for a woman who had nothing to do with him?"
"Master, if you don't save him now, it will be too late. Don't you regret it?"
"Why should I regret it? Doesn't he deserve it?"
The man in white robe looked at the winding scar on Yin Jinglong's right arm again, as if he remembered something. He stroked his ugly centipede-like scar with his fingertips and suddenly laughed wildly.
The spider urged again, "Min Hanyu is about to wake up. Master, why don't you leave immediately? Prince Yin is still alive. I have to take him away when no one is around."
The man in white robe searched Yin Jinglong's body and took out a jade seal, then pulled out the silver blade from his chest and cut a gash in his right arm from top to bottom. At the same time, his snow-white silver hair gradually turned black.
The spider exclaimed, "Master, why are you doing this? This knife is poisoned!"
She hurriedly took out the antidote from the pouch at her waist and urged him to take it, but he refused.
"Your poison won't kill me. On the contrary, it can temporarily dye my silver hair black. Take him away quickly and treat his wounds. Whether he survives or not depends on his own luck."
The spider nodded and looked at his bleeding right arm worriedly, "Master, your hand..."
"Don't worry about anything you haven't been told. Knowing too much will only hurt you. Talk less, do more, and leave!"
"The spider obeys!"
She carried Yin Jinglong on her back with great effort, and while the guards were asleep, she left through the back door of the post station and brought him to Miao Village overnight.
After a night of deep sleep inflicted by the mother insect, Hanyu finally showed signs of awakening. Her fingers trembled slightly, and suddenly a pair of warm hands enveloped hers. She slowly opened her eyes, unsure of how long she had slept, and unable to recall what had happened. She only remembered talking to Yin Jinglong before she passed out.
After opening her eyes, she saw Yin Jinglong wearing a white robe, looking at her with gentle and affectionate eyes after she woke up, and a familiar voice calling her name.
"Ayu, are you awake?"
"Well, how long was I unconscious?"
"It took three days and three nights. Fortunately, God was kind enough to let me rescue you."
Yin Jinglong brought her a cup of tea and prepared to help her sit up. Only then did Hanyu realize that there was a layer of white gauze wrapped around his right arm.
"Are you... injured?"
"Last night, several assassins came to the post station. During the fight, I accidentally scratched my right arm. It's a small matter, not worth mentioning. But you have just recovered from a serious illness and your body is still weak. You need to nourish yourself well."
He smiled awkwardly, hid his right arm behind his back, and pretended that it was not in the way.
Yin Jinglong suddenly became so gentle to her, which made Hanyu feel indescribable awkwardness. She had vague doubts in her heart, and always felt that the person in front of her looked like him but was not him.
But if this person is not him, then who is the person in this world who looks exactly like Yin Jinglong?
"Ajiang?" Hanyu called softly.
The man with his back to her trembled slightly, the teapot in his hand hung in the air, and the tea overflowed from the teacup.
"Is that you, Ajiang?"
He stood up straight and looked at her with a serious expression: "Who do you want me to be?"
Hanyu always had an indescribable sense of familiarity with the man in front of her. Her intuition told her that this man must be Ajiang!
The husband A Jiang whom she had been looking for for a long time was now standing in front of her, but for some reason she was not as happy as she had imagined. Instead, she began to worry about another person.
She looked around and shouted to the door, "Help! Is anyone there?"
Ah Jiang immediately stepped forward and covered her mouth, stopping her: "What do you want to do? Reveal my identity in front of those guards?"
Hanyu couldn't believe that her husband, who had always been gentle to her, would cover her mouth and nose so rudely. Even though she struggled hard, he had no intention of letting go.
Her eyes gradually changed from disbelief to disappointment, with tears of unwillingness streaming down her face.
It was that tear that touched Ah Jiang. Like a child who had done something wrong, he immediately let go and took Han Yu into his arms, whispering, "I'm sorry, I was too anxious and accidentally hurt you."
At this moment, the guards outside the door asked, "Miss Min? Are you awake? Do you need us to come in and help?"
Ah Jiang signaled Hanyu to refuse with his eyes. Hanyu hesitated for a moment and explained to the guard, "I'm fine."
"Then what are your instructions, my Lord?"
Ah Jiang straightened his voice and imitated Yin Jinglong's tone, ordering: "This king is fine, please withdraw immediately!"
"promise!"
After he walked away, Hanyu asked him sharply, "Why did you pretend to be Prince Yin? What did you do to him?"
A Jiang looked lost. He didn't expect that Han Yu would look at him coldly for the sake of her enemy from her previous life.
He explained the matter perfunctorily, "Don't worry. He's my brother after all. I won't harm his life. I just need to borrow his identity for the time being. Ah Yu, I can't explain too much to you right now. Please be patient. When all this is over, we can return to the cabin under the snow-capped mountains and live a life of envy together, okay?"
"A Jiang, I don't understand what you're trying to do. Why did you leave without saying goodbye on the night of our wedding on the snowy mountain? Where have you been these days? Why are you in southern Xinjiang now? Can you give me a reasonable explanation? Do you know how hard I've been looking for you these days? Your leaving without saying goodbye made me think I'd never see you again in this life!"
