Chapter 74: Deliverance of the Twin Gu
Yu Lingye turned sideways and looked at Xie Yingmian beside him.
Xie Yingmian was still asleep.
She slept uneasily, her brows furrowed the whole time.
Yu Lingye reached out his hand and gently smoothed her forehead with his fingers.
Xie Yingmian felt a cool touch on his forehead and suddenly opened his eyes.
Her gaze happened to meet Shangyu Lingye's.
Before Yu Lingye could retract his fingers, he said, "Sorry for waking you."
"You woke up just in time. The fact that you woke up means you're fine. Let me take your pulse." Xie Yingmian turned sideways and grabbed his wrist.
Yu Lingye said: "Thank you for last night."
After Xie Yingmian took his pulse, she felt that he was fine and lay back down.
Her voice was lazy: "You really have to thank me."
"If I hadn't been there yesterday, you would have been in great danger. If you're lucky, you'll still be unconscious, but if you're unlucky, you'll have died."
"I almost exhausted myself to death in order to save you."
"I never work for free. Remember to pay for saving you. Ten thousand taels, no bargaining."
Yu Lingye: "Madam Fang's sixty thousand taels, you don't need to split it 50-50 with me, it's all yours."
Xie Yingmian perked up, his eyes sparkling: "You want to give me the thirty thousand taels?"
"To be honest, thirty thousand taels is a bit much. I charge a lot, but I clearly mark the price and never gouging people."
Yu Lingye: "Keep it with you first, and deduct it directly later."
Xie Yingmian thought about it and felt that it was feasible.
"Since you paid for the medical treatment in advance, I can't be stingy."
"Well, I'll give you a 20% discount from now on."
Yu Lingye: I don’t really want this kind of future.
He asked, "Is there something wrong with the Du'e Gu?"
Xie Yingmian hummed casually, "Maybe the news of your awakening reached the other party, and they are using a special method to activate the mother Gu."
"The mother Gu noticed that the child Gu was dormant and forcibly woke it up. The child Gu in your body was under my control, so the mother Gu couldn't wake it up. By chance, she woke up another one."
"The other one?" Yu Lingye frowned.
Xie Yingmian said: "The child Gu in your body is not just a simple Du'e child Gu, but a Du'e twin child Gu."
"I don't know if you're surprised or not, but I'm quite surprised."
Fu Mo couldn't help but ask, "What is the Du'e Twin Gu?"
Xie Yingmian: "Have you seen twins?"
"Due'e Gemini Gu means twins."
"To put it simply, the Du'e Twin Gu are born from the same Gu. Under normal circumstances, only one Gu is active, while the other is hidden very deeply. Because they are born from the same Gu, twins, it is very difficult to detect."
"When the mother insect couldn't awaken the visible one, it awakened the hidden one."
"The hidden one was awakened, and the twin Gu sensed each other, which also caused both Gu worms to awaken."
"Two poisonous insects, one bright and one dark, each with their own specialization, will devour your body in a short period of time, putting you in danger."
Xie Yingmian sighed.
The one controlled by her is the one in the open, referred to as the Ming Gu, and the other one can be called the An Gu.
Ming Gu is only responsible for transferring damage to the mother Gu's host body.
Yu Lingye will only be harmed if the mother Gu's host is harmed.
Dark Gu is different.
The hidden poison is hard to detect.
The function of the dark Gu is to attack Yu Lingye's body unexpectedly.
"Fu Mo, is the porcelain bottle I sealed the red bug in still there?"
"Here." Fu Mo brought the porcelain bottle.
After opening the small lid, you can vaguely see the small red bugs at the bottom of the porcelain bottle.
The bugs are very small, only the size of a grain of millet.
If you don't look carefully, it's easy to overlook.
The little bug lay dormant at the bottom, motionless, as if dead.
This was the first time Yu Lingye saw the true appearance of the insect.
"Dead?" he asked.
"Not dead." Xie Yingmian said, "He's in indefinite hibernation after being poisoned."
"If it dies, the mother Gu will notice that there is still a child Gu in your body. If both sides are dead, it will be very disadvantageous to you."
"This secret poison is hidden in your body and is very harmful to you. It's like a time bomb that may explode at any moment."
"So, I took it out last night while it was attacking you."
"You can be considered to have found a blessing in disguise. Although it was thrilling, the rewards were enormous."
"There's only one daughter Gu left in your body. The other party shouldn't act rashly again. However, I still suggest you find the mother Gu as soon as possible."
"Only by finding the mother Gu can we remove the child Gu in the Dantian. If we can't remove it, it will always be a hidden danger."
Fu Mo has completely trusted Xie Yingmian.
Xie Yingmian repeatedly saved the prince, saved him and Fufeng, and saved Yanqing.
If that doesn't make him feel like one of us, he washes his hair while standing upside down.
After classifying Xie Yingmian as one of his own, Fu Mo no longer wanted to hide the truth: "Your Highness actually knew who the mother Gu was, but that person's identity..."
"Fu Mo!"
"Your Highness, didn't you hear what the princess said?" Fu Mo said anxiously, "Only by finding the mother Gu can we eliminate your child Gu. For the sake of your health, you can't just let it go."
"Stop talking."
"Your Highness!" Fu Mo said, "Do you know how dangerous last night was? Your body is covered with strange red marks. If it weren't for the princess's intervention, two poisonous insects would have been enough to kill you."
"I don't know what happened between you and that person, but it has come to this..."
Yu Lingye interrupted Fu Mo coldly: "Since you don't listen to me, there is no need for you to stay by my side any longer. Get out."
Fu Mo closed his mouth unwillingly and left the room with red eyes.
Yu Lingye said to Xie Yingmian, "I'm sorry, there are some things that Fu Mo is not clear about."
"I don't want to talk about the mother insect for now."
Xie Yingmian didn't care.
The body is not hers.
As the attending physician, she was just giving Yu Lingye advice.
It was Yu Lingye's business if he didn't follow the doctor's advice. She didn't want to do something that would be thankless.
"It's okay, I respect the patient's wishes." Xie Yingmian said.
Listening to Xie Yingmian's calm response, Yu Lingye felt inexplicably depressed.
He could tell that Xie Yingmian really didn't care.
Xie Yingmian only treated him as a patient.
In Xie Yingmian's eyes, he was probably the same as Fu Mo, Fu Feng, Yan Qing and others.
When this thought came to his mind, Yu Lingye felt an indescribable sense of loss.
This feeling of loss was fleeting.
Yu Lingye found it ridiculous.
He had only known Xie Yingmian for seven days.
To both him and Xie Yingmian, she was only slightly better than a stranger.
There is nothing to lose.
Xie Yingmian didn't know what Yu Lingye was thinking.
If she knew, she would definitely add a few words.
In her heart, Yu Lingye, Fu Mo and Fu Feng are different.
Yu Lingye is her financial sponsor.
If her financial sponsor has a request, she will do her best to satisfy it.
Fu Mo and Fu Feng are two poor oxen and horses, and are not worthy of being compared with the wealthy sponsor.
"You'd better not stay too far away from me in the next three days." Xie Yingmian said.
"I'm not sure if there will be any side effects from removing a Gu worm. Stay close to me so I can respond at any time if there's an emergency."
"Besides that, there's one more thing I need to make clear to you."
