Chapter 249: Snakes and rats in the same nest



When Eleven heard that Xiao Ruyu was going to use her body to attract the poison, he was also very surprised.

"Did the little princess come up with this idea because of the inspiration from the queen?"

Xiao Ruyu nodded seriously and analyzed it in an orderly manner.

[Since mother and child are connected by heart, the mother and child Gu can also sense the existence of the mother Gu. ]

[If we can use our stinky little brother to sense the mother Gu, then we will have a way to find the person who put the Gu there! ]

But... things are not that simple.

Xiao Ruyu's expression darkened a little as he pondered the feasibility of this matter.

[But this is easier said than done. If I really do this... I'm afraid my stinky little brother will get hurt...]

The thought that had just risen up in her mind was half extinguished. Xiao Ruyu bit her lips tightly, feeling somewhat unwilling.

Eleven saw what she was thinking, rubbed her head, and comforted her softly, "This is feasible, but we have to think carefully and not act rashly."

"Little princess needs to be careful too."

Xiao Ruyu nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.

The next day, Xiao Ruyu rushed to the imperial physician's office early in the morning, wanting to discuss the matter with him in detail.

As soon as I stepped into the yard, I unexpectedly ran into two familiar people.

[Brother Yiheng, Brother Yiling, why are you here? ]

Xiao Ruyu looked at her two cousins ​​in surprise and ran into their arms.

Duan Yiling quickly picked her up and smiled, "We are here to see Doctor Yang."

[Looking for a master? What's the purpose? ]

She was confused and couldn't help but ask the two people why they came.

Just then, Doctor Yang heard the noise and walked out of the house. Seeing Duan Yiheng and the other man coming, he quickly invited them into the house.

"Two young masters, please come in and talk."

After they were seated, Duan Yiheng slowly explained the reason, "A few days ago, Imperial Doctor Yang was worried that other officials would fall ill, so he specifically asked us to monitor the residences of some officials."

"So that if there is anything unusual, we can close the net in time."

Duan Yiling interrupted and spoke with great interest.

"Since my father gave us the right to deploy officers and soldiers, the search has become easier."

Doctor Yang poured tea for the two of them with a smile, and there was a hint of gratitude in his words.

"I'll have to trouble you two young masters for this matter."

He sat down and asked about the situation, "Did you come here today because something has happened?"

Duan Yiheng put down the teacup and nodded heavily.

"Dr. Yang's guess was correct. As expected, we found a sneaky person in an official's mansion."

Before Doctor Yang could speak, Xiao Ruyu stood up impatiently.

[Where is the person? Let's go and interrogate him.]

【Maybe the clue lies with him! 】

Wailing sounds were heard in the dark and damp prison.

Xiao Ruyu was helped down from the prison by Eleven, and at first glance he saw an unusual person.

He was wearing coarse linen clothes and looked like an ordinary citizen, but his eyes were empty and lifeless.

"Did you find out anything during the interrogation?" Duan Yiheng asked the jailer beside him in a low voice, glancing at the man a few times out of the corner of his eye.

The jailer looked embarrassed and shook his head.

"We have used all possible tortures, but we still cannot pry this man open his mouth."

"He insisted that he knew nothing."

Xiao Ruyu squatted down and looked at his pale face, vaguely feeling that this man was not normal.

[Eleven, look at him, he seems to be exactly the same as the guy from a few days ago! ]

Eleven also came over, feeling more and more that something was wrong, "Indeed, that person was also like that a few days ago."

He immediately turned around and asked the jailer, "Has this person been searched?"

The jailer was stunned and shook his head.

"We haven't searched him yet. We started interrogating him as soon as he came in."

Seeing Eleven nodding slightly at him, the jailer tactfully opened the prison door and began to search the prison from head to toe.

The man seemed unconscious and did not resist, allowing the jailer to toss him over and over again.

“There’s something!”

The jailer immediately pulled out a package from his chest and handed it to the men respectfully.

Doctor Yang opened the package and his face changed.

"Stand back, don't touch this thing!"

The jailer was so frightened by his roar that his hands trembled, the package fell to the ground, and several small insects crawled out of it.

They have different shapes and look very strange with their fangs and claws.

[It's a poisonous insect! ]

Xiao Ruyu cried out in surprise, and seeing the poisonous insect crawling towards her feet, she immediately raised her foot and crushed it hard.

The poisonous insect exploded and disgusting liquid came out of her body. She rubbed her feet on the ground in disgust.

"It seems that the illness of these officials is not a normal cold, but they have indeed been poisoned by someone."

Doctor Yang frowned, told the jailer to deal with the remaining poisonous insects, and then led everyone out of the prison.

The sunlight shone on Xiao Ruyu, but she felt a cool breeze.

[If this is the case, then the sorcerer might have already joined forces with the cult...]

She realized it a little late and was shocked.

[This is a group of bad people who are all the same. 】

Xiao Ruyu quietly clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

Doctor Yang had not expected that this investigation would involve so many forces. He looked solemn and said, "The most important thing right now is to cure these officials first."

"No wonder Master has been trying to detoxify them these past few days but to no avail..."

I originally thought I was just cursed, but I didn't expect it to be a bewitching curse.

[Master, this poison is not difficult to cure. I happened to have learned it secretly when I was in Miaojiang.]

Xiao Ruyu suggested taking her to detoxify and help these officials get rid of their illnesses.

Doctor Yang agreed and took her to Lu's house.

After these few days of torture, Lu Huaikun became even thinner, and his forehead turned slightly black.

He listened to the voice of Doctor Yang and raised half of his body with difficulty.

"Master Yang, you are here again."

Doctor Yang held his hand, which was so thin that only the joints were left, with a firm look in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to cure you this time."

Lu Huaikun opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he had no strength left.

He leaned back on the bed, closed his eyes, and breathed out through his mouth and nose.

[Master, he is too deeply poisoned. I need to use my spiritual power to force the poison out of his body.]

[Eleven, please help me guard the door. ]

Xiao Ruyu felt very uncomfortable seeing him, so he asked Shi Shi to send his servants away and began to mobilize his spiritual power.

She bit her finger and fed a trace of blood into Lu Huaikun's mouth, then used her spiritual power to investigate.

The insect smelled the blood and became visibly excited in his body.

Lu Huaikun's belly began to move, as if something wanted to break out of his body, and he began to groan in pain.

The time is now!

Beads of sweat broke out on Xiao Ruyu's forehead. The spiritual power in his hands deepened a bit, forcing the poisonous insect in his stomach to come out.

"vomit--"

As the sound of Lu Huaikun vomiting was heard, Doctor Yang hurriedly supported him and let him vomit on the ground.

In a pool of black water, there was a bean-sized poisonous insect struggling hard, and its body was constantly expanding.

“Bang!”

In less than half a second, the poisonous insect left the human body and exploded, dying!
