Princess Zhaoyang blurted out, "Why?"
Marquis Yong'an glanced at the two female servants, who bowed and left.
Xiao Qingyin felt that she was not really suited to stay here.
She placed the hemostatic powder on the desk.
"My lord, please apply the medicine first. I'll go out for a bit and then I'll bandage you up later."
"You don't need to leave."
"The Marquis of Yong'an said calmly."
"From now on, we're all family. There's nothing you can't hear."
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
What if we can't become a family?
I don't want to know so many of your family's secrets.
"This isn't quite right..."
Before he could finish speaking, a heavy hand suddenly appeared on his shoulder.
Yi Shuihan parted his thin lips slightly.
There's nothing inappropriate about it.
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
I'm even more worried about what to do.
I hope I won't be killed to silence me.
"I was editing a book in the study when Linlang suddenly rushed in looking flustered. I was about to ask her what happened when my mind suddenly went blank and the person in front of me turned into 'you'."
"The Marquis of Yong'an said calmly."
"As you undressed and approached me, I felt frozen in place, completely unable to react, until you reached out and grabbed my wrist."
"I noticed something was wrong with the touch, so I cut it with a paper cutter. The pain brought me back to my senses."
"I cut her hand because I didn't control my strength when I was cutting myself."
"After I regained consciousness, she huddled in the corner, looking at me with a terrified expression."
“I had someone call a servant in, sent someone to the palace to find you, and also sent Han’er to invite Qingyin.”
"Believe it or not, that's what just happened."
After Marquis Yong'an finished speaking, he looked straight at Princess Zhaoyang.
Linlang shook her head incessantly in Princess Zhaoyang's arms, as if denying what Marquis Yong'an had said.
Xiao Qingyin looked down at her toes.
He wondered to himself whether the Marquis of Yong'an was lying or whether this Miss Linlang was putting on an act.
Unfortunately, this young lady, Linlang, is unable to speak or write. I had heard from Yi Jiu that Princess Zhaoyang had specially arranged calligraphy lessons for her.
The Marquis of Yong'an held an absolute advantage, but at the same time, he was also at a disadvantage.
After all, the girl can't express herself, so what happened depends entirely on your word.
Even if what Marquis Yong'an said is true, if this gets out, he'll be covered in shit.
There's really no way to defend myself.
Princess Zhaoyang's expression remained unreadable after hearing this.
He only said, "I'll take Linlang back to the hospital first and then come over."
He then left the study with Linlang.
Xiao Qingyin noticed that the Marquis of Yong'an's expression visibly darkened.
The study was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Xiao Qingyin felt a little suffocated and suggested, "My lord, let me treat your wounds first."
"good."
Marquis Yong'an said listlessly.
His wound didn't need stitches. Xiao Qingyin sprinkled some medicine powder on it, bandaged it, and told him not to get it wet for the next few days.
Marquis Yong'an nodded: "Thank you."
Suddenly remembering something, she asked Xiao Qingyin, "I felt like I was under a spell just now. Do you know what kind of spell it was?"
Xiao Qingyin took his pulse and shook her head, saying, "Your pulse is normal; the medicine may have worn off."
Marquis Yong'an's face darkened.
“However,” Xiao Qingyin paused, “I feel that the air in your study seems a bit murky, as if there was medicine present, but I didn’t smell any special odor and can’t tell.”
Marquis Yong'an glanced at the spotless ground but said nothing.
Xiao Qingyin put the scissors and the remaining gauze back into the medical kit. Seeing that the paper cutter was still stained with blood, her obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in, and she picked it up directly.
Just as I was about to clean it, I suddenly noticed that the bloodstains on the knife were gleaming with a golden light.
He couldn't help but wonder, "Why is the blood golden?"
"What did you say?" Yi Shuihan asked, "What golden blood?"
"this."
Xiao Qingyin brandished the paper cutter at him.
Remembering that he had brought a microscope, he put a little blood on the slide.
After I finished setting it up, I looked through the eyepiece and was almost scared to death.
She gasped and took several steps back.
"What's wrong?"
Yi Shuihan inquired.
"See for yourself." Xiao Qingyin was still in shock. "Don't touch the paper cutter or the glass slide."
After reading it, Yi Shuihan was also quite shocked.
"How come there are so many tiny insects in this blood?"
Xiao Qingyin shrugged.
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
On a tiny glass slide, there were thousands upon thousands of golden insects that looked similar to tardigrades, and they were all alive.
She had never seen anything so bizarre in her two lives.
"Could it be the legendary Gu worm?"
She asked.
Have you ever encountered Gu worms?
Yi Shuihan frowned.
“All countries abhor witchcraft and sorcery and will never allow such evil things to exist. I have never seen a Gu worm, nor have I ever heard of Gu worms appearing anywhere. I have only heard of them eating insects.”
"Huh?" Xiao Qingyin was taken aback. "What country do people from? They eat insects."
"Don't you know?"
Yi Shuihan countered with a question.
"The Kingdom of Nandan. They eat bee pupae, bamboo worms, centipedes, grasshoppers..."
That's it?
Xiao Qingyin immediately lost interest.
What kind of insects are you talking about?
Marquis Yong'an asked.
It seems that they have broken free from negative emotions.
Xiao Qingyin quickly said, "My lord, there are golden worms in the blood on this paper cutter. I don't know if they are from your blood or from Miss Linlang's blood. We need to take blood from both of you to verify."
