Chapter 78 Amnesia
As Xiao Jin left the palace, Xia Quan just happened to arrive on horseback.
"Sir, I have just personally gone to confirm that King Jinyue has returned to the palace."
"Where's Song Zijin?"
"It should still be in the hospital."
Xiao Jin pondered for a few breaths, "How many people from the Killer Pavilion are still there from yesterday?"
"The twenty men who went to the clinic to assassinate were all wiped out, and there are still six resting in the stronghold."
"Call these people and ambush them on the road leading to the clinic to tie up Xiao Linyuan."
Xia Quan guessed Xiao Jin's intention, "But my lord, your body is seriously injured. If you control the mother Gu at this time, I'm afraid..."
"Just do it!" His eyes were red, like a Shura crawling out of hell.
Otherwise, Emperor Guangxi will never let him go this time.
Forget it, let’s end the cat and mouse game here for now. His future is more important.
Xia Quan didn't dare to stop him anymore, for fear of angering this person and losing his life.
Alas, when I first learned that King Jinyue had woken up, wouldn’t it have been better to take action directly?
For the sake of his own selfish desires, he ended up making things worse.
…
The carriage with the palace emblem rolled over the bluestone road, making a dull sound.
Xiao Linyuan leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes to rest.
The spy was very stubborn and it took him a lot of effort to figure out the cause and effect of the rebellion and get clues about the spies hiding in the palace.
I have already sent a letter to Shen Zhuo, and I believe the remaining spies will be caught soon.
Wang Ge rode his horse closer to the carriage, "Your Highness, something is wrong."
"how?"
"There's murderous intent."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp sword shot out from the crowd.
“Whoosh—”
Wang Ge drew his sword and shot the arrow, which got nailed on a pillar by the roadside. The tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly.
"Protect the prince!"
Before the guards could react, six black shadows jumped down from the roof of the street, and the flashes of swords and sabers instantly enveloped the entire carriage.
The clanging sound of swords clashing rang out outside the car, but Xiao Linyuan seemed to be oblivious to it, leisurely drinking tea.
We had already tested these people's skills last night, and there were only six of them. The guards of the palace were fully capable of handling them and there was no need to be afraid of them.
Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his heart, as if millions of ants were gnawing at his flesh.
Xiao Linyuan groaned, his fingers tightly gripping the armrest of the carriage, his knuckles turning white.
He was all too familiar with this pain—
The Six Deadly Gu has broken out!
He clenched his teeth and cold sweat slid down his forehead.
The fact that the child Gu was so active meant that the mother Gu was very close. He lifted the car curtain and his eyes wandered around the fleeing crowd until he saw the people in the teahouse across the street.
At this moment, Xiao Jin was leaning against the railing with a vicious smile on his lips.
If you look closely, you can see the sweat on his forehead and his slightly pale lips.
It's him!
The mother Gu is actually on Xiao Jin's body!
This guy is really crazy. In order to take revenge on the Xiao family, he is even willing to sacrifice his own life.
"Wang Ge, go kill Xiao Jin..." Xiao Linyuan said with difficulty.
Wang Ge understood instantly, raised his sword and flew towards Xiao Jin, but was entangled by two killers.
At this time, people from the city defense camp arrived "in time" and surrounded the scene.
Wang Ge glanced at Xiao Jin, who was smiling cunningly, gritted his teeth and flew back to the carriage, "Your Highness, please be patient. I will take you back to the clinic right away!"
Xiao Linyuan could only hear Wang Ge's voice, sometimes nearer and sometimes farther, until he could hear nothing. He closed his eyes and let the darkness swallow him.
When I woke up again, it was three days later.
He tried to open his eyes, but all he saw was darkness. His head was splitting, and his whole body was weak and aching as if he had been run over by a carriage.
"What's wrong with this king?"
He was frightened by his own voice, which was even more unpleasant than the sound of sand rubbing against each other.
The old princess who was beside the bed was taking a nap. She was not sleeping soundly and was immediately awakened by the noise.
"Lingzhi! Lingzhi, you're awake!"
Xiao Linyuan's ears moved, "Mother."
"Oh! Thank God, you finally woke up!" The old princess burst into tears.
"Mother, what's wrong with me?"
The old princess waved her hand in front of his eyes and found that his eyes did not respond at all.
Is this a side effect of removing the poison?
The old princess bit her lips hard. As long as the person is alive, the rest will come slowly.
"You were ambushed by Xiao Jin's men on your way to the clinic. That bastard controlled the mother Gu, causing the poison to attack you and put you into a coma."
Xiao Linyuan blinked hard, but still couldn't see clearly.
"Why did Xiao Jin cast a spell on me?"
The old princess paused in wiping her tears, "Lingzhi... do you still remember what happened after you were poisoned?"
Xiao Linyuan shook his head, "My head hurts so much, I can't remember."
It's chaotic, everything is blurry.
The old princess quickly opened the door and said, "Someone, go get Doctor Liao!"
Liao Yan has locked himself in the house for three days. He has no appetite and stares at the pieces of medicinal stems left by Song Zijin after he cured the poison.
Upon learning that Xiao Linyuan had woken up, he stood up excitedly and almost fainted because he hadn't stood for a long time.
Chunsheng quickly stepped forward to support him, "The prince seems to be unable to see and has lost a lot of memory."
"What!" Liao Yandahai.
After arriving at the guest room and taking Xiao Linyuan's pulse, Liao Yan's brows remained furrowed for a long time.
The old princess was in a state of panic, "What happened?"
"Replying to the old princess, judging by his pulse, the prince is recovering well. It's just that the two herbs used to cure the poison were too potent, which temporarily affected his six senses.
Fortunately, it's just the loss of sight, and he'll just need to recuperate for a while. As for his memory, it's only a temporary confusion, not amnesia, so there's no need for you, old princess, to worry."
"What about the Gu? Has it been completely resolved?"
"The Six Deadly Gu is truly cunning. I am not talented enough to tell if it's alive or dead simply by taking its pulse."
Perhaps the method of detoxification that Mianmian used only temporarily suppressed the poison and made it sleep for a short time.
"How can we be sure of that?"
"I'm afraid that we can only determine whether the offspring is dead when the mother insect is active."
If he could tell by taking the prince's pulse, he wouldn't have been running around like a headless fly when the prince first fell unconscious.
His skills are not as good as others. There are always talented people in every generation. He is old.
The old princess was somewhat frustrated. Xiao Jin was protected by Emperor Guangxi, and the Xiao Mansion was surrounded by imperial guards. It was difficult to kill Xiao Jin.
Then I can only wait for Song Zijin...
Xiao Linyuan understood. He turned his head away, his eyes dull. "Was it Doctor Liao who cured me of the poison?"
"yes……"
"It's Liao Yan!" The old princess interrupted Liao Yan.
Liao Yan was puzzled, but the old princess's eyes were so intimidating that he could only smile and nod.
"Thank you, Doctor Liao."
"Chunsheng has gone to the kitchen to cook porridge. Please wait for a while and have a good rest after you finish the porridge."
"Um."
The old princess took Liao Yan for a long distance and only stopped when she was sure that Xiao Linyuan could not hear her.
"Are you sure Ling Zhi has short-term amnesia?"
"I'm sure. Just rest for a few days and you'll be fine. But I'm confused. It was Miss Mianmian who cured the poison. Why didn't the old princess tell the prince?"
The old princess treated Liao Yan as one of her own and did not hide anything from him: "You went to the mountains a few days ago. I'm afraid you don't know that Mianmian's real name is Song Zijin, and she is Xiao Jin's woman."
"?" Liao Yan was puzzled. Most of the women in the Xiao Mansion were Xiao Jin's women. This was not surprising. Why did the old princess suddenly care about it?
The old princess added, "She is still Xiao Jin's legal wife! Do you understand?"
"What!" Liao Yan was stunned and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back.
Xiao Jin's wife, that means the prince and his eldest sister-in-law...
This is unbelievable! How much hatred must Xiao Jin have for the palace to do such an inhumane thing!
Judging from the old princess's behavior, she wasn't planning...
