Chapter 124 Notes on Refining Gu
"Gu?" Doctor Hua knew that what could make Jin Ming so anxious must be no trivial matter, but he didn't expect it to be such a deadly matter!
He took a quick step forward, lifted the purple-robed envoy's arm and began to feel his pulse.
"Did you give him any tonic?" Doctor Hua said in a serious tone.
Jin Ming kept walking, but his tone was hesitant. "Your Excellency's condition was extremely critical at the time, and I had no other options."
Doctor Hua understood Jin Ming's approach, but since he only knew a little about poison, he had no better solution. He could only say, "Let's go back to the cabin and make a long-term plan!"
Chu Ci even had the illusion that he was prone to accidents. When he thought of this, Chu Ci felt very bad and his vigilance increased a lot.
Fan Jingrui misunderstood. He thought Chu Ci was afraid, so he immediately held Chu Ci's hand. "Don't be afraid, aren't we safe?"
Chu Ci shook her head, but she didn't know how to explain it, so she could only make up an excuse: "Husband, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the village for too long this time."
Upon hearing this, Fan Jingrui tightened his grip on Chu Ci's hand and jokingly said in a nonchalant tone, "Madam, are you so eager to become a family with me?"
Even though Fan Jingrui understood the meaning of Chu Ci, he also hoped for the same thing in his heart.
Unfortunately, Chu Ci wasn't a real little girl and rolled her eyes at Fan Jingrui. "If the poison Zi Yi created can't be cured, is it possible for us to go to Southern Xinjiang?"
If the previous speculation made Fan Jingrui worried.
After hearing that Chu Ci was actually thinking about going to Southern Xinjiang, Fan Jingrui's worry level went through the roof. "My dear, do you know what will happen if you go to Southern Xinjiang?"
Chu Ci nodded, his resolve to head to Southern Xinjiang growing stronger. "But we can't just be on the defensive every time, right? This time it was the Purple Envoy, so who will it be next time?"
Fan Jingrui naturally understood that Chu Ci's words were right. "After the Purple Envoy wakes up, shall we discuss this with him?"
Before Chu Ci could refute, Fan Jingrui continued, "Going to Southern Xinjiang is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two. Whether it's Jingtian Village or Lianzhou, all matters need to be properly arranged."
After Fan Jingrui's reminder, Chu Ci seriously considered the backlog of things on hand.
When it comes to promoting potatoes, most of the time, although the head of the Chu family is in the front line, he still has to take action himself when problems arise.
There were even more miscellaneous matters in the women's college, including movable type printing, library, pepper farming, pig farming, winery, and the iron smelting technology that she privately asked Gu Dulie and Duan Tianji to improve.
That’s not all. She had planned to promote konjac when she returned to Lianzhou this time.
There are too many things to do. What if I leave for a year or two, will all these things be interrupted?
But what if I don’t go?
Wait, why does he have to go there himself for such a thing? The one who was poisoned by the Gu was the Purple-Robed Envoy, so the one who should be worried is the emperor in the capital, right?
Thinking of this, Chu Ci finally had the heart to worry about the Purple-Robed Envoy's safety. "Master, do you have a way to remove the Purple-Robed Envoy's Gu?"
Doctor Hua shook his head. "The Gu in Zi Yi's body is different from the ones in you and Chu Ling'er. This Gu is very aggressive..."
Although Dr. Hua's words were not very clear, everyone present understood that even a person with such great medical skills as Dr. Hua was helpless.
Especially Jin Ming, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
However, because of this, he finally remembered the booklet he had brought with him. "Doctor Hua, can you take a look at this and see if it's useful?"
Doctor Hua did not take it with his bare hands. Instead, he put on a hat, mask and gloves first, and even sprinkled anthelmintic powder on Chu Ci, Fan Jingrui and Xiao Wu who were present, and then carefully took the booklet.
But this one look was incredible, it turned out to be Old Man Chen’s Gu refining notes!
Doctor Hua's eyes lit up instantly, but he remained unforgiving, "Is this the Gu Refining Notes? Why didn't you take it out earlier, something so important?"
Could Jin Ming say that he forgot because he was anxious? Of course not.
"I'm just worried that there might be dirt on this thing." Jin Ming touched his nose and explained guiltily.
Doctor Hua didn't say whether he had received the letter or not, but just eagerly flipped through the pages until he came to a certain page. At first, his face showed joy, but then his brows furrowed more and more.
I am not afraid of Chinese medicine practitioners smiling, but I am afraid of them looking down.
Now, not to mention Jin Ming, even Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui didn't dare to breathe.
However, the more you fear something, the more likely it will come.
Not long after, Doctor Hua threw the notes on the ground. "This thing is only slightly better than waste paper. It can't be said to be completely useless for removing poison, but it's almost there."
Jin Ming: You’re worrying for nothing!
Chu Ci: It’s all in vain!
Fan Jingrui took the opportunity to ask, "Where's Old Man Chen, the one who raised the poisonous insect? How is he doing now?"
Jin Ming: "Didn't I tell you? Father Chen, although I injured you, you tried your best to kill him. Just to be on the safe side, you burned him."
Jin Ming paused before continuing, "And Chen Jingting knows nothing about Gu poison."
"So, the clue ends here?" This is totally inconsistent with the ability of the Xiuyi Law Enforcement Envoy. Chu Ci couldn't believe what he heard, so he couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Jin Ming felt a bit embarrassed. "Not really. We found out that the Chen family's money was given to Yao Qilin, the Second Prince's Chief Secretary. But in reality, this 'Yao Qilin' is just an actor."
"Yao Qilin? What a coincidence?" Chu Ci sighed again, sometimes the world is really small.
Chu Ci's reaction was so obvious that Jin Ming was startled and immediately asked, "Do you know this 'Yao Qilin'?"
Chu Ci did not hide anything and repeated the embarrassing story about Zhang Yaoyang that Ma Ming had told him.
Finally, Chu Ci stared at Jin Ming with a sly look on his face and said, "A performer who specifically seeks out court officials to defraud them, how likely do you think this is?"
[No way.] Jin Ming didn't answer, but he already had the answer in his heart.
"Sorry, I need to be out for a while." Jin Ming naturally did not dare to hide such an important clue and needed to pass it on as soon as possible.
As soon as Jin Ming left, Fan Jingrui took the opportunity to ask Divine Doctor Hua, "Master, if we go to Southern Xinjiang, can the Purple Envoy's body withstand it?"
"Do you mean to go to Southern Xinjiang and look for the Southern Xinjiang Gu King?" Doctor Hua's eyes turned and he understood Fan Jingrui's intention.
However, Dr. Hua was not hopeful about such a proposal. "It's just that Southern Xinjiang is extremely xenophobic, and outsiders can't enter at all."
"That was in the past. Now we have this." Chu Ci said as he picked up the Gu refining notes that Doctor Hua had thrown away.
