Chapter 275: The Remaining Officials of the Former Dynasty
At this moment, Liang Moyuan had already fallen asleep.
Jushu and Ye Zhonglin were sitting in the yard, picking herbs and chatting in low voices.
Hearing the noise at the door, Jushu narrowed his eyes and became alert.
Seeing that it was Lan Xin, she immediately signaled Ye Zhonglin to close the yard door.
Lan Xin told Ju Shu about Liang Shanyu's nightmare: "The number of poisonous insects under Madam's skin is increasing, and they are becoming clearer and clearer."
As she spoke, she lowered her voice, with a hint of fear in her tone.
"Last time during lunch break, I saw worms moving under the Second Madam's eyelids."
The scene made me sick just thinking about it.
After hearing this, Ye Zhonglin became even more certain that Liang Shanyu had also been poisoned by a poisonous insect.
And it is the rouge Gu.
"Take this with you, and the next time she has another attack, crush the second bead. Come back and tell me how she reacts."
Ye Zhonglin took out a bracelet from his arms and put it on Lan Xin's hand.
It looked like an ordinary string of driftwood beads.
However, the second bead Ye Zhonglin mentioned was darker and felt a little soft when squeezed gently.
When I raised my hand, I could faintly smell the scent of sandalwood.
"yes."
Lan Xin touched the bracelet on her hand and left first.
Jushu was thinking about waiting for Liang Moyuan to wake up tomorrow and then reporting the matter to her, but when he turned around, he found that Ye Zhonglin was frowning with a very ugly expression.
"What's wrong, Doctor Ye? It's rare to see you like this. Is this insect really difficult to deal with?"
Ye Zhonglin shook his head.
His brows were filled with confusion and worry. "This rouge Gu isn't difficult to deal with, but it's very difficult to master it. I wonder how he got two of them."
If the rouge Gu is not activated in time, it will soon die in the egg.
Therefore, most Gu Masters, no matter how powerful they are, can only possess one Rouge Gu.
What's more, the reason why Ye Xingzhi parted ways with Ye Zhonglin and even betrayed his master was because Ye Xingzhi was not as skilled as his master and felt that his master was giving Ye Zhonglin special treatment, so he left in anger.
Now even Ye Zhonglin can't do it, using two rouge insects at the same time.
In just a few years, Ye Xingzhi has made such progress.
It's really surprising.
"Tomorrow, when the Crown Princess wakes up, I will go and talk to her about this in person."
Ye Zhonglin's expression was unprecedentedly serious and earnest.
The next morning, while dressing up, Ju Shu told Liang Moyuan what happened last night.
Hearing this, she frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy.
"Have Divine Doctor Ye wait for me in the front hall. I'll be there right away."
Liang Moyuan had planned to visit Zhuangzi today, so she put on her fancy clothes for going out.
A dark purple dress with gold patterns made Liang Moyuan look very elegant and noble, with a cold and aloof look in her eyes like that of a god or Buddha.
With the luxurious head ornaments, she doesn't look vulgar at all.
Instead, she looks like a fairy in a painting.
Liang Moyuan walked in the morning light and came in front of Ye Zhonglin. The circle of light around her was like a golden glow, which made people's eyes bright.
If it were any other day, Ye Zhonglin would have definitely praised her a few words, but today he felt choked up and just nodded to Liang Moyuan.
"Jushu has already told me the general idea of what happened last night. Just tell me what you want to tell me."
Liang Moyuan raised her hand and motioned Ye Zhonglin to sit next to her.
Ye Zhonglin sighed heavily, and after sitting down, his expression still showed some struggle.
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "I suspect Ye Xingzhi's goal is to establish a connection with the Imperial Palace through the Marquis' Mansion."
Liang Moyuan was stunned, then frowned.
She didn't doubt Ye Zhonglin, but was wondering how he came to such a conclusion.
Ye Zhonglin tightened his hand on the table.
"I promised Master not to tell anyone about his life story, but the current situation is so special that I have no other choice."
After saying that, Ye Zhonglin stood up and bowed deeply towards the sky outside.
It can also be regarded as an apology to the master for breaking his promise.
After standing up, he said to Liang Moyuan: "Ye Xingzhi is actually a remnant of the previous dynasty."
"What?" Liang Moyuan's almond-shaped eyes widened even more, and her tone was full of disbelief.
The remaining ministers of the previous dynasty?
But Ye Xingzhi looks to be only in his early forties.
According to the timeline of the previous dynasty, could he have become an official when he was just over ten years old?
Knowing Liang Moyuan's doubts, Ye Zhonglin shook his head and said, "Ye Xingzhi is almost thirty years old, but he is proficient in Gu insects and is good at using Gu magic, using evil methods to maintain his appearance."
That makes sense.
Liang Moyuan had read related records when she was reading a book before, but at that time she just regarded it as strange anecdotes and laughed it off after reading it.
"You said he wanted to contact the palace through the Marquis' Mansion. Why?"
"I was wondering why he wanted to help the Second Madam before. Now it seems that he wants to control the Second Madam and then transfer the blame to you, the Crown Prince's Consort, and slowly infiltrate the Marquis' Mansion. His ultimate target is naturally the Crown Prince."
