Chapter 187 Secret Technique
Meng Shi turned his head and nodded to Master Gu behind him, "This concerns the princess' life, you must identify it carefully!"
"yes!"
Master Gu received Meng Shi's order and strode towards Lan Zheng.
In fact, from the first moment Master Gu saw Lan Zheng, he had already determined that Lan Zheng was possessed by a puppet dragon.
However, Master Gu knew very well in his heart that the princess of Nanzhao could die in an accident or in the conspiracy of the people of Jiuzhou, but she could not die from being bitten by a Gu.
Master Gu circled Lan Zheng in a pretentious manner for a few times, pondered in his heart, and then reported to Murong Che and Meng Shi, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, according to my speculation, the Fourth Princess should not be..."
Xue Youli interrupted slowly, "As a qualified dragon master, you must be able to identify at a glance what kind of dragon insect the host has been infected with. General Meng, the dragon master you brought has been circling Princess Lan Zheng for a long time, but she is still so ambiguous. She can't even pass the basic skills. How can her examination results convince everyone present?"
Meng Shi was shocked. He didn't expect that the women in Murong Che's harem also knew about Gu Shi and Gu Chong.
However, he did not show any emotion on his face. Instead, he snorted coldly and asked Murong Che, "Your Majesty, is there anyone in your harem who knows the art of Gu?"
Xue Youli felt very unhappy when she heard his contemptuous look.
[Of course I know the art of killing insects. Not only do I know all kinds of insects in Nanzhao, I even know which concubine your king summons every night! If you dare to question me, believe it or not, I will reveal some unknown secrets about the Meng General's Mansion tomorrow? ]
[Originally, Meng Shi was sent here to let the Nanzhao people see with their own eyes the scene of the Nanzhao princess becoming the host of the insects and hurting people in the palace. If they want to stop Lan Zheng from hurting people, they can only make the decision to destroy Lan Zheng's body on the spot.]
[However, in order to save the reputation of the Nanzhao Kingdom, Meng Shi not only wanted to get away with it by lying, but also planned to use Master Gu to put the blame of Lan Zheng's madness on Empress Dowager Yin of Cining Palace.]
[If he dares to do this, I don't mind luring the insects out of Lan Zheng's body! Teach those Nanzhao people a lesson! ]
Murong Che listened to Xue Youli's angry voice, coughed lightly, and began to make up a lie with his eyes open, "General Meng, just as you said, my concubine Xue went to Nanzhao when she was young. A dragon master saw her talent and wanted to take her as a disciple. After she refused, the dragon master gave her a book. The book happened to record the method of luring the dragon worms out of the body of a person who was poisoned by a dragon. If the dragon master you brought cannot accurately determine whether Princess Lan Zheng was poisoned by a dragon, I can let Concubine Xue lure the dragon worms out."
Xue Youli glanced at Master Gu and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, General Meng would not bring a useless Master Gu to Jiuzhou to embarrass himself. Let's listen to Master Gu's judgment first."
Master Gu, "..." It was this woman who interrupted me and stopped me from speaking just now, and it was also this woman who forced me to tell the result now.
From the other party's words, it can be seen that this person really knows a lot about insects.
When she was young, her master also taught her how to remove parasites from the human body.
My master once said that it is not easy to raise a dragonfly. There is a secret technique that can summon the dragonflies that are parasitic in the host body back.
Could it be that this Concubine Xue is also proficient in this secret technique?
Seeing Xue Youli's confident demeanor, Master Gu suddenly felt unsure.
If she insisted that Lan Zheng was not possessed by a snake, and Xue Youli used a secret technique to draw the snake out of Lan Zheng's body in front of everyone, not only would she die, but even General Meng would be implicated by her.
But if she admitted that Princess Lan Zheng had been deceived, it would be difficult to resolve the incident of Princess Lan Zheng hurting others.
Just when Master Gu was in a dilemma, Chu Xinyue said loudly, "Princess Lan Zheng was led out of Ci Ning Palace by a whistle just now. All of us present here can testify to this. Although I have never been to Nanzhao, I know that the people of Nanzhao use special whistles to control the Zi Gu. Sisters, did you hear a whistle in Ci Ning Palace just now?"
Yin Xuan'er was the first to nod and reply, "I heard it. The whistle sounded like a flute, but it wasn't a flute. It was sharp and unpleasant. The sisters even laughed and asked where the Queen Mother found such a musician who couldn't even play the flute!"
"I heard it, too! Everyone was joking about the sound of the flute, but I never thought someone was maliciously manipulating the insects. It's really scary!"
"This person dared to plant a snake on the Princess of Nanzhao. It must be someone closest to the Princess. General Meng, you must not let this person go!"
"Yes, General Meng, this man even dared to murder the princess. He is so bold! If you don't find him as soon as possible, you will not have peace even if you return to Nanzhao!"
On the issue of national stance, all concubines united as one and faced the outside world in unison.
Each of them spoke as if there was a spy hidden in the Nanzhao delegation, and if the spy was not eliminated, each of them would be in danger of being framed.
Seeing that Meng Shi's expression was becoming increasingly ugly, Murong Che glanced at all the concubines, signaling them not to say any more.
Then, everyone shut up tacitly.
At this point, Meng Shi knew that there would be no peace if they did not tell the truth.
The emperor of Jiuzhou is not easy to fool!
And Concubine Xue beside the emperor is even more complicated.
Many dragon masters in Nanzhao may not know dragon insects as well as she does.
Meng Shi thought about it again and again, and didn't dare to take the risk of letting Master Gu lie. "Master Gu, has Princess Lan Zheng been possessed by a puppet dragon?"
The dragon master did not dare to speak nonsense, and quickly lowered his head and answered, "Yes, Princess Lan Zheng was not only infected by the puppet dragon, but the dragon worm has also devoured her brain..."
This is exactly what Xue Youli was waiting for.
She pretended to be surprised and widened her eyes. "What should we do? Do we have to keep Princess Lan Zheng chained up? Do you Nanzhao have any way to save her?"
Master Gu glanced at Meng Shi and only replied when he saw him nod, "Princess Lan Zheng's eyes are dull and she looks lifeless. Even if a miracle doctor came, there would be nothing he could do to save her!"
Chu Xinyue also showed a shocked expression, "Ah? Impossible! Princess Lan Zheng is clearly still alive! Look, she is still trying to break free from the chains!"
The Guinea Master looked at the ferocious expression on Lan Zheng's face and sighed, "Princess Lan Zheng's consciousness has long been gone, and all her actions are now controlled by the Guinea worms. If her body is not destroyed as soon as possible, when her body is exhausted, the Guinea worms will come out of her brain and look for the next host among us!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's face changed.
They stared at Lan Zheng who was still struggling desperately, and retreated quickly, fearing that the insect would immediately drill out of Lan Zheng's body and randomly choose someone as its new host.
Everyone had just seen clearly how horrible it was for Lan Zheng to be controlled by the insects, and no one wanted to be the next victim.
After listening to their conversation, Murong Che asked the most crucial question, "General Meng, how do you plan to destroy Princess Lan Zheng's body?"
