Sikong Yun glanced at a few people innocently, his expression seemed to be clearing himself: You asked me to say it, don’t blame me if you choke to death on the melon.

Qin Canglan regained consciousness and frowned, "Tell me again, who is the child of the Grand Princess and Wei Wei?"

"Helian Ye." Sikong Yun repeated without emotion.

Wei Ting frowned and stared at him without blinking, as if he wanted to stare two holes into him.

Sikong Yun sighed again: "Even if you live till the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, I don't have a second answer."

Su Xiaoxiao went out for a while and came back with a stethoscope in her hand. She put on the earplugs and stuffed the stethoscope head into his lapel.

Sikong Yun was shocked and looked at Wei Ting in disbelief: "Hey! In broad daylight! Your wife is touching a grown man and you don't do anything about it!"

Wei Ting looked at him coldly.

Su Xiaoxiao asked the questions again in reverse order.

Sikong Yun's answers to every question were consistent with the previous ones. More importantly, except for the drastic fluctuation in his heart rate when Su Xiaoxiao just approached him, there was not much fluctuation during the subsequent interrogation process.

Indeed, he is an old charlatan and can be caught lying easily without any shame or beating of heart. It is not surprising.

But listening to heart rate is only one way to detect lies. There are three pairs of eyes staring at him. If he has any flaws, he will not be able to hide the truth.

Therefore, Sikong Yun did not deliberately deceive them about Helian Ye's life experience.

The three of them exchanged glances.

Su Xiaoxiao put away the stethoscope and said, "Put aside Helian Ye's story for now. We will verify whether it is true or not. We have another matter right now."

Sikong Yun pretended to be dumbfounded: "What else...?"

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "What do you think?"

"It's nothing..." Sikong Yun is the typical person who won't cry until he sees the coffin, and won't confess until he is caught in the act. If you don't explain everything clearly, I will turn a blind eye to it.

You can't use trickery to deal with this kind of person.

But Su Xiaoxiao was not lying to him. She had a solid inference: "Did you do something to Wei Ting and me? Are you afraid that we will find out, so you fled the capital overnight?"

Sikong Yun opened his mouth.

Girl, being too smart is not good.

Su Xiaoxiao said coldly: "I advise you not to quibble."

Qin Canglan drew out his big knife.

"I'll tell you!" Sikong Yun was afraid of these people, and his eyes fell on Wei Ting's face.

Wei Ting narrowed his eyes: "Is it me?"

Instead, he felt relieved.

Sikong Yun asked: "Have you felt tired recently?"

"No."

"Weak and feeble?"

“No.”

"Dizzy?"

“No.”

"That's not right..." Sikong Yun looked confused. He stood up and walked to Wei Ting, looking at Wei Ting's face carefully, then took out a strange little iron box from his arms and asked Wei Ting to hold it in his hand.

Wei Ting shook it as he was told.

There was no movement in the box.

A hint of coldness flashed across Su Xiaoxiao's eyes: "What on earth did you do to Wei Ting?"

Sikong Yun cleared his throat: "Ahem, I put a Gu on him."

Swish! Qin Canglan's long knife was placed on his neck.

Sikong Yun was so frightened that he trembled: "Wait! Wait! Don't kill him yet! Let me finish what I'm saying! He doesn't have any Gu in him!"

There is a small insect in the iron box. When it encounters a person who is poisoned by the Gu, the insect will react.

"What kind of poison did you put on me?" Wei Ting asked.

Sikong Yun confessed honestly: "It's the Gu that allowed you to be controlled by Princess Beiyan. But strangely, the Gu in your body is gone."

"Huh?" Sikong Yun was stunned.

Wei Ting frowned and said, "Xiaoxiao has experienced all the symptoms you just mentioned."

Su Xiaoxiao blinked. Yes, she had been extremely sleepy for several days after her wedding. She always felt sleepy and couldn't wake up. She thought she was exhausted from the wedding night.

Sikong Yun said thoughtfully: "This situation rarely occurs before, unless she has a special physique that attracts poisonous insects."

Qin Canglan was furious: "Why don't you check my granddaughter quickly!"

Sikong Yun handed the iron box to Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao opened the box and poked the little bugs inside, but the little bugs didn't react at all.

This means that there is no Gu in her body.

Sikong Yun was confused: "Is there something wrong with the Gu given by Bei Yan? Or did I fail to apply it successfully?"

Su Xiaoxiao recalled carefully and found that she had indeed experienced the symptoms that Sikong Yun described. Excluding the factor of excessive exercise, she must have been poisoned.

She thought again and seemed to have been to a pharmacy two days ago.

Gu is both a poison and a living thing, neither of which can be brought into a pharmacy.

The pharmacy forcibly "threw" the Gu out of her body. Once the Gu leaves the host, it will die within a few breaths unless it enters a special container.

The latter point was mentioned in the notes of a poison master in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Sikong Yun said earnestly, "This is my first time to cast a Gu on someone. I am not very skilled in the technique, so I might make a mistake. But this time, a serious Gu master has come to Beiyan. He probably hasn't shown up, but is hiding in the dark. You guys should be careful, because if he casts a Gu on you, he will never fail!"

"Gu can kill people invisibly. Even the warriors of the Western Jin Dynasty would not easily provoke a Gu Master. I advise you to run as far away as possible when you encounter a Gu Master. Don't let him get close to you!"

After leaving the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, the two got on the carriage back.

Wei Ting was very silent.

Su Xiaoxiao moved closer to him and handed him her hand: "Here you go."

Wei Ting asked curiously, "What?"

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Seeing that you are sad, I will lend it to you for a while."

Wei Ting paused and said, "Didn't you say your hands were sore last time?"

Su Xiaoxiao immediately got angry: "I'm just lending it to you for a bit! What are you thinking?!"

Wei Ting chuckled, "You reacted so quickly, don't you think the same as me?"

"I..." Su Xiaoxiao blinked. After all, she had seen poker movies, so she should understand this kind of thing in seconds, right?

"I'm not sad." Wei Ting said.

The topic changed so quickly... Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Then why haven't you said anything?"

Wei Ting stared and said, "I'm wondering whether what Sikong Yun said is true or false."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him: "About Helian Ye?"

"Yeah." Wei Ting nodded.

Su Xiaoxiao recalled: "What Sikong Yun said today should not be a lie, but it is not certain whether the information he received was wrong."

What if Master Huijue deceived Sikong Yun?

Wei Ting said seriously, "There have long been rumors in Beiyan that Helian Ye is not the biological son of the Helian family head, but an illegitimate child brought back from outside. Helian Ye had a very miserable childhood, and even the servants in the mansion could bully him. It was not until the Helian family head discovered his martial arts talent that he began to cultivate him carefully."

"Who is older, him or your father?"

"He," Wei Ting added, "is one month older."

Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Helian Ye killed his grandfather and murdered his father and brother. He investigated Helian Ye's background thoroughly, even his birth date.

If this is true, Helian Ye is Wu'an Jun's eldest son, but Wu'an Jun didn't want him, and Master Huijue was "forced" to give him away... After he learned the truth, he decided to come back and take revenge on the Wei family.

This can explain Helian Ye’s hostility towards the Wei family.

A thought flashed through her mind, and Su Xiaoxiao said to Wei Ting: "In fact, if we want to know whether he is your grandfather's biological son, we can do a test and the truth will be revealed."

This is the first time I'm asking for votes this month. It seems like I'm a little late. Do you still have your monthly votes? If you do, please vote for Fang Fangzai. Thank you very much.
