Chen Yunniang took out a handkerchief to wipe the wound on the corner of her mouth, and said, "The old doctor next to you is Su Yujiao. Don't think I don't know."
What do you want to do?
Now that she knows, there's no need for him to keep pretending.
I want you to marry me!
"This has always been my wish, didn't you know?"
Lu Ziqian sneered: "Do you think that's possible?"
Chen Yunniang stared at him with a smug smile, her tone certain: "You'll be begging me soon."
After the woman finished speaking, she smiled and left.
"madman!"
Lu Ziqian felt somewhat confused.
No sooner had Chen Yunniang left than Su Yujiao came in, covering her face.
When Lu Ziqian saw her covering her face, for some reason, he suddenly thought of the scene of Chen Yunniang slapping herself, and felt inexplicably nervous.
What happened to your face?
Su Yujiao lowered her hand, her cheek was swollen high with a very obvious handprint, and blood was still flowing from the corner of her mouth.
The man instantly radiated a menacing aura: "Who hit me?"
Su Yujiao looked terrible, and even seemed a little dazed: "I think I'm possessed."
“I didn’t believe in these things before, but what’s happened these past two days has been really strange.”
"Cough cough... Look at these wounds." She pointed to the bruises on her arm and the scars on her fingertips.
"As you probably know, malaria is transmitted through blood. I take special care when treating patients, and I dare not have any wounds on my hands to avoid getting infected myself."
"But just last night, I suddenly felt a pain in my finger. When I looked at it, I saw a scratch on my fingertip."
"Then, I felt a pain in my arm and found another bruise on it."
"And the inexplicable cold I caught last night."
"If all of this is just my paranoia, then today is truly a case of encountering a ghost."
"I was changing the dressing on Mo Hua's face when I suddenly felt a sharp pain on my face. Then my face swelled up and I got a handprint on it, as if someone had slapped me from a distance."
"This is really strange."
"Do you think I should hire a master to exorcise the evil spirits from me?"
Lu Ziqian's face grew increasingly grim, as he recalled Chen Yunniang's resolute words when she left.
My premonition is getting worse!
"Ziqian, what's wrong?"
"What are you thinking about?"
"Are you even listening to me?" Su Yujiao was a little angry at his absent-minded look.
Lu Ziqian tried to calm himself down and comforted her, "You're just too tired."
"I will send someone to invite a renowned master from the neighborhood to take a look."
Lu Ziqian pulled her to sit down and even sent someone to invite several of the best imperial physicians, including Physician Zhou and Physician Zhang, to come and diagnose her.
"I'm not sick, am I really possessed?"
"Do you think I'm hallucinating, or that I'm mentally ill?"
Seeing her agitated and irritable state, the man patiently comforted her, "I know you're not sick, but I'd still like to have Physician Zhou come and take a look to put my mind at ease."
Su Yujiao was somewhat dazed by the series of strange events that had occurred in the past two days, and could only let him make arrangements.
After examining Su Yujiao, Physician Zhou only said that she had caught a cold and could not find any other illness. He told her that she would be fine after resting for two days and that she should not be too nervous.
After Lu Ziqian coaxed the person to sleep, he had them carried to Chen Yunniang's tent.
"What exactly did you do to her?"
Chen Yunniang pouted: "You've come so quickly. It seems you care about her more than I thought."
"I didn't do anything to her, I just put a little bit of poison on her."
"If I get hurt, she will get hurt; if I die, she will die too."
“I know you sent Mo Shu to invite Nan Sheng, hoping to expose my identity.”
"I had no other choice. I had to do this to survive."
"Don't look at me like that, it's scary. This is all your fault."
Chen Yunniang took a sip of tea with a nonchalant air: "You're too heartless. I risked my life to save you twice."
"Not only are you ungrateful, but you also want to kill me. What am I supposed to do?"
"Are you just going to do nothing and wait for me to die?"
Lu Ziqian's face was gloomy, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his whole body was filled with murderous aura, as if he wanted to grind the poisonous woman in front of him to dust.
Unfortunately, Jiaojiao's life was in her hands, and he had no choice but to compromise.
"I won't expose you if you remove the curse from her."
"From now on, you will continue to be your saintess, and we will keep to ourselves and never see each other again."
Chen Yunniang nodded: "If you want to remove the curse, that's fine, it just depends on how you behave in front of Nan Sheng."
"You better keep your word!"
"That's natural."
Nan Sheng arrived that evening, and Lu Ziqian expressed his gratitude to her for sending the secret medicine that saved his life.
I also asked about the mother-child Gu.
When Nan Sheng heard him inquire about the Mother-Child Gu, she nodded in agreement: "Our Southern Frontier Kingdom does indeed have this kind of Gu, a Mother-Child Gu."
"The mother Gu can control the child Gu."
"This kind of Gu has another name: the Obsessive Love Gu."
"There is a legend circulating in our clan about the Love-Obsessed Gu."
Legend has it that there was a woman who loved a man, but the man's heart belonged to another.
"The woman then crafted the Love-Obsession Gu, planting the mother Gu inside her own body and the offspring Gu inside the man's body."
"If a man doesn't love her and wants to leave her, she will do things that hurt herself in order to control him and force him to stay by her side for life."
"The man did stay by her side for the rest of his life, but he also hated her for the rest of his life. In the end, unable to bear the pain of missing his lover, he committed suicide, thus ending this abnormal relationship."
Nan Sheng knew that Chen Yunniang was infatuated with Lu Ziqian, and now that Lu Ziqian was inquiring about the Love Infatuation Gu, she naturally assumed that Chen Yunniang had put the Love Infatuation Gu on Lu Ziqian.
Lu Ziqian frowned deeply: "Is there an antidote for this 'love-obsessed curse'?"
"No!" Nan Sheng answered decisively.
Lu Ziqian stared into his eyes. His gaze was clear, and his answer was crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation. He didn't seem to be lying.
Lu Ziqian's face was extremely pale, and he asked again, "Is death the only way to break the curse?"
"yes."
"Moreover, the mother Gu is dominant, and if the mother Gu dies, the child Gu will undoubtedly die as well."
"If the offspring Gu dies, the mother Gu will also suffer for a period of time, but it will not be fatal."
Nan Sheng looked at Lu Ziqian's distraught expression and smiled slightly.
It seems their new saintess is quite devoted!
Sigh, yet another pitiful man controlled by the love potion!
"If General Lu wishes to form a marriage alliance with our Southern Frontier Kingdom, I will not object."
"After all, you are the man our Holy Maiden has chosen, and our Southern Frontier Kingdom should treat you as an honored guest!"
Lu Ziqian's face was grim as he called out to the outside of the tent, "It's getting late. Send the Crown Prince back to rest."
Nan Sheng didn't care. After all, no one would be too nice when being forced into marriage.
What's more, the one being forced into marriage this time is a proud and arrogant general!
