Chapter 211



"When I was interrogating the chief steward of the Liu Mansion, I learned from him that the Love Poison may have another function."

Li Yue didn't dare to keep the secret, and said quickly: "In addition to breaking up a pair of lovers and making them hate each other, it is rumored that the Love Gu is also said to be able to test the most sincere feelings in the world, so it got this name, and it is also because of this that it can become one of the ten great Gu in Miaojiang."

As he spoke, he showed hesitation again: "... However, the Love Gu has been around for hundreds of years and has harmed countless lovers, but its other effect is only sporadically recorded in the biography left by the Gu Master who cultivated it, and has never been truly verified. Gradually, this use has been regarded as a misunderstanding. Now that the Gu Master lineage is almost extinct, I'm afraid no one knows about it except the generals who went to Miaojiang to quell the rebellion back then."

The most sincere feelings in the world are tested...

Xiao Junzhan frowned slightly when he heard this, tapping the tabletop with his fingertips briefly. After thinking for a few breaths, he asked softly, "What kind of test is this?"

Li Yue said: "You know, the most common effect of the Love Poison is to stir up the feelings of lovers, so that the more they like someone before, the more they will feel uncontrollable annoyance and disgust towards that person after taking the Love Poison."

Hearing this, Xiao Junzhan's eyes turned cold, and he lowered his gaze indifferently, which made Li Yue's heart tremble. He realized that he was talking about something irrelevant, and after a shy smile, he quickly said:

"But poison is poison after all. The Love Poison can bewitch people's hearts and turn Miss Wei's joy for you into disgust and disdain. But that is not Miss Wei's true heart. She was just bewitched. According to records, true lovers will get rid of the influence of the poison and recognize their true heart."

After Li Yue told everything, he knelt on the ground with a respectful expression, and even his breathing became slower.

...He was not sure whether His Highness would be angry about this rumor that had never been verified and think that he should not have spoken such nonsense.

Xiao Junzhan stood with his hands behind his back, his body straight as a pine tree, his face cold and expressionless without a trace of emotion.

...In other words, the person who is poisoned needs to regain his love for his loved one and recognize his true heart despite the influence of the poison in his body.

Is this another function of the Joy Gu? The so-called test of the most sincere feelings in the world? After standing still for a long time, he suddenly asked, "I asked you to check whether the Joy Gu likes wine. Is there any precedent that the effect of the Gu temporarily decreases or disappears after drinking? Do you have any news?"

"This matter is recorded in the book "Gu Shu" jointly written by the Secret Guard Division and the Imperial Hospital." Xiao Junzhan gave instructions on this matter after returning to the capital yesterday. Li Yue did not dare to neglect it and nodded when he heard it: "It's not just the Love Gu. According to records, all Gu insects used to seduce people's hearts will be affected after the host drinks too much."

"Oh?" Xiao Junzhan seemed a little surprised. After a slight pause, he asked, "In your opinion, why is it so?"

Li Yue was ordered to investigate the matter of Gu poison. These days, he read through all the records he could find about Gu poison and interrogated hundreds of people in the Anguo Mansion. When he read this message, he was surprised, but also had his own guesses.

Therefore, when asked for his opinion, he did not hesitate and just said: "In my humble opinion, although Gu insects are spiritual creatures in the world, they are not human after all. They do not have human wisdom and do not understand the world. If they want to deceive people, they must make judgments based on the host's own psychological conditions, such as the Joy Gu..."

Last month, I reversed my day and night for too long, and this month I wanted to adjust my sleep clock, but after two days, it still didn't work. I'll stop here for now today, and try harder tomorrow~~ I hope I can sleep better tonight~~~      (End of this chapter)
