The next day, Xiao Yanchu brought Mu Jingshan to Su Ruojin's room.
He sent a carrier pigeon to tell Mu Jingshan to return to the capital as quickly as possible.
Mu Jingshan didn't even have time to rest before taking Su Ruojin's pulse, but the conclusion was the same.
Su Ruojin told the two of them about Mao Mao saying that she had worms in her heart. It's always better to work together than to work on something alone.
Although she possessed advanced medical experience from later generations, she also knew that there were many areas unknown to her in the current dynasty, and she never dared to be arrogant.
insect?
Mu Jingshan and Xiao Yanchu were both shocked.
This is unheard of; how can worms grow inside a person's heart?
Mu Jingshan suddenly seemed to realize something, and froze, muttering to himself, "Impossible, impossible."
Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu exchanged a glance, and Xiao Yanchu grabbed him, saying, "What do you mean it's impossible? Just tell me already!"
Mu Jingshan then realized what was happening and hurriedly said, "I remember my master once said that there is a type of Gu master in Xiaoyue who can use secret methods to inflict Gu on people. People who are afflicted with Gu will appear no different from ordinary people in terms of their pulse, but they will react differently depending on the type of Gu technique used."
Gu Master?
Poison?
"How do we crack it?" Xiao Yanchu asked hurriedly.
Mu Jingshan shook his head: "The Gu technique has always been passed down orally. No one outside the Gu master knows how to cast a Gu. Only the Gu master lineage can undo it. If you try to undo the Gu randomly, it will cause the Gu worms to riot and the host will die."
Xiao Yanchu's face turned deathly pale instantly: "I will send people to search immediately, to dig three feet into the ground in the capital, to find the person who cast the curse!"
"Ah Jin, wait for me, I won't let anything happen to you." Xiao Yanchu turned to leave, but Su Ruojin called out to him.
"Wait, Yanchu."
Xiao Yanchu stopped and looked at Su Ruojin.
“Since they dared to use a curse on me, they must be certain we won’t find her. Mu Jingshan, how much time do I have?” Su Ruojin asked.
Mu Jingshan shook his head again: "Each Gu technique is different, and only the person who casts the Gu knows it."
"Yan Chu, send someone to Yan Yang to bring my master here." Su Ruojin took out a small piece and handed it to Xiao Yan Chu: "My master will only believe the person you sent if he sees this sign."
"Hu Qing, go and come back quickly." Xiao Yanchu called over Hu Qing, who was guarding outside the door.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Hu Qing accepted the order and left.
"Ah Jin, does your master know how to remove poison?" Hope ignited in Xiao Yanchu's eyes.
Su Ruojin shook her head: "Master wouldn't, but I heard him mention that he had been to Xiaoyue and seemed to know a Gu Master from Xiaoyue."
Having hope is better than having no hope. She should try no matter what the outcome; waiting to die is not her style.
The Su family was waiting for the arrival of the head master.
In the study of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, Wei Xuelin was talking with the Duke of Dingguo.
"Xuelin, did the Master say anything when you returned this time?" Duke Dingguo asked.
Wei Xuelin replied, "Father, I have passed the academy's exam ahead of schedule, so I will no longer need to return to the academy to study."
"Good, good, he truly is my son." The Duke of Dingguo's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.
Getting into Ryan College is no easy feat; passing the college's entrance exam ahead of time is even more difficult.
Of all the Duke of Dingguo's men, the two sons he valued most were the ones before him.
His eldest son, Wei Xuebin, was brave but lacked strategy and was not capable of shouldering great responsibilities.
The third son's mother was of lowly birth and only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun all day long; she was not worthy of respect.
For the Duke of Dingguo, Wei Xuecheng's death was only a momentary sorrow, which he would forget once it passed.
