Chapter 754: Can't Give Up the Original Owner's Memory
As a coup was imminent, Qi Jing transferred most of the troops, so there were only a dozen people guarding Shen Huai's mansion, which made it convenient for her to eavesdrop.
"Besides grandpa, there are two other people in the room!"
She said softly, handing another pair of headphones to Gu Yanchen beside her.
In the room, Qi Jing paced around Shen Huai with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. He suddenly turned around and looked at the figure curled up in the corner: "Master Balan, can this 'Pulling Silk Gu' ensure that the Grand Tutor will act according to plan in the court later?"
A thin and emaciated man walked out of the shadows. His face was as pale as paper, and two cloudy eyeballs were embedded in his deep eye sockets.
Every step he took seemed to consume a great deal of physical strength, and the wide black robe hung empty on his body.
"Don't worry, Your Highness..." Balan Lechi's voice was hoarse, and every word felt like sandpaper rubbing against his throat.
"This Gu has been planted in his heart for more than half a year. Unless I activate the mother Gu myself, the Gu worms in his body will sense the movement and run around everywhere in his body. There is no way they can break free from my control."
Perhaps thinking of something, Qi Jing said to Balan Lechi: "If someone wants to take the Gu by force, what will be the consequences?"
Balan Lechi snorted coldly, which unexpectedly caused a burst of coughing.
"This little thing only recognizes my blood essence. If it wants to cure the poison, it must rely on my blood essence..."
Qi Jing frowned slightly after hearing the voice: "Master, you look a little unwell."
Balan Lechi showed a hideous smile: "To make the 'Pulling Silk Gu', one needs to feed it with one's own blood for 49 days.
But for His Highness's great cause, this price is nothing..."
In the secluded part of the garden, Ran Qingxuan gently took off his headphones: "It seems that Qi Mingjing's reading of more books when he has nothing to do is useful. As long as I have blood essence, I can start..."
Gu Yanchen's eyes flashed coldly: "That is to say..."
"As long as we obtain the essence and blood of Balan Lechi, we can temporarily appease the poisonous insect."
Just as the two were delighted, Qi Jing's cold laugh suddenly came from the headset: "With Master's words, this king is relieved. When the hour of Mao arrives, this king will wait for good news from the Grand Tutor in the court."
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. When the dispute is over, the Grand Tutor will definitely go with the gifts to help Your Highness inherit the throne!"
“Hahahaha…Okay!”
The footsteps of Qi Jing and the Black Feather Guard gradually faded away, and the sound of a door closing was heard from the monitoring device. Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen looked at each other and stood up at the same time.
"Action." Gu Yanchen said briefly.
In the backyard of the mansion, Balan Lechi was struggling to move forward while holding onto the wall.
It was still dark outside, but dark red blood could be faintly seen dripping from the cuffs of his black robe. After taking blood to feed the Gu for several days, the wound was not healing at all.
"Heh... I never thought that my Balan Lechi... would fall to this point..." He muttered to himself, and suddenly started coughing violently, with a mouthful of blood spraying directly onto his palm.
Balanch died, and the Blue Rain Emperor was replaced. The change in the court caught him off guard. When he rushed back, he couldn't even see Balanch's body.
Now he can only rely on this prince who has lost his power and is trying to plunder. It's really pathetic...
Just as he bent his head to wipe the blood from his palm, a dark shadow came rushing from the garden like a ghost. A cold light flashed, and a long sword was against his throat.
"Don't move." Gu Yanchen's voice was as cold as ice.
"Otherwise you will live a life worse than death!"
Balan Lechi's cloudy eyes suddenly shrank: "You are...the one from the Gu family..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly threw out a handful of black powder from his sleeve. Gu Yanchen was prepared and turned the sword to cut his wrist, while dodging sideways.
The black powder fell on the ground and corroded several small holes.
"Looking for death." Gu Yanchen's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the tip of the sword was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, instantly piercing Balan Lechi's shoulder blade.
"Ah!" Balan Lechi let out a shrill scream, took a few steps back and hit the cold wall directly.
"You...you can't kill me...the poisonous insect in Shen Huai's body..."
"It doesn't matter whether you live or die, as long as I have your blood and essence..."
Gu Yanchen flipped his wrist, and the sword blade accurately cut through Balan Lechi's palm, and blood immediately gushed out.
Ran Qingxuan appeared from the darkness and quickly placed a jade bottle under the wound. Blood dripped into the bottle, making a strange "sizzling" sound.
Balan Lechi looked at his actions with a pale face: "How... do you know..."
"Thanks to you for telling Qi Jing in person." Ran Qingxuan said coldly, carefully putting away the jade bottle filled with blood.
"Take the people away..."
The two secret guards who followed Gu Yanchen immediately stepped forward to hold Balan Lechi. The man who knew he was in danger suddenly struggled frantically: "No! You can't..."
Just as he was shouting, a faint sound came from the outer courtyard.
The sword flashed, and a red line as thin as a hair appeared on Balan Lechi's throat.
He widened his eyes and looked at Gu Yanchen in disbelief as he sheathed his sword.
"This sword is for my elder brother!" Gu Yanchen said coldly.
Balan Lechi's body was brought into Shen Huai's bedroom. Ran Qingxuan glanced at the sky before entering: "It's less than half an hour until the morning hour. We must immediately remove the poison from Grandpa."
"Let's take action, it's starting to get chaotic outside!"
The sound of horse hooves came from the imperial city, from far away to near, and reached the ears of those who were still awake.
In the space operating room, Shen Huai was fixed on the operating table. Ran Qingxuan and his friends were dressed neatly, holding scalpels, and beads of sweat had already seeped out of their foreheads.
Chen Huai was like a rag doll, looking up with empty eyes.
"You... bear with it." Ran Qingxuan whispered in Shen Huai's ear, although she didn't know that people controlled by the "pulling silk Gu" couldn't hear the outside world...
The original owner was very afraid of Shen Huai when he grew up, but what appeared most in Ran Qingxuan's mind was the scene of the original owner getting along with this grandfather when he was young.
She couldn't completely get rid of the memories passed down by the original owner, so she could only try to digest them slowly.
Gu Yanchen stood aside, holding the jade bottle: "When you are ready, I will open the lid."
Ran Qingxuan took a deep breath and gently cut the skin on Shen Huai's chest with the tip of the knife.
The moment the blood gushed out, the insect on the monitor suddenly twisted violently!
"Hurry, blood..." Ran Qingxuan called out urgently.
Gu Yanchen immediately tilted the jade bottle, and a drop of Balan Lechi's blood dripped on the edge of the wound. Miraculously, the originally restless poisonous insect suddenly calmed down and slowly moved towards the blood.
"It's looking for a host..." Ran Qingxuan held his breath, with the surgical forceps hanging steadily above the insect.
But the moment the insect's head touched the foreign blood, it shrank back without any warning.
This scene caught Ran Qingxuan off guard. At this moment, the instrument began beeping, and Shen Huai, who was fixed on the operating table, suddenly shook violently.
"What's going on?"
Qi Mingjing, who was standing outside the operating room, saw this scene through the window and expressed his doubts. Ran Qingxuan was also a little afraid to take action at this time...
