Su Ruojin's tone carried a hint of teasing.
Aya thought about it and it seemed to make sense, so she didn't refuse anymore and took the book to look through it.
Seeing the two of them like this, Xiao Yanchu didn't disturb them. He said to Yanluo, "Go and make some white fungus soup for the Princess and Aya later."
Yan Luo nodded hurriedly and left, but Hu Qing chased after her, saying, "I'll go with you."
Yuan Hong and Da Pu stood quietly by his side.
Suddenly, Su Ruojin slammed her hand on the table, "Found it!"
Then she read it aloud, “The Dream-Eating Gu loves flowers and plants. It is transparent and enters the brain through the five senses. It sucks the brain out of people. People feel no pain, so they will feel dizzy and stupid. Eventually, they will lose their minds and die after seven days.”
This insect likes flowers and plants, and most likely it likes fragrance. Normally, women often use perfume, so they smell better than men.
It seems Gao Hongyuan planned to take her life.
That makes sense, though. It would be much easier to deal with Yuan Hong after killing her.
Even if she were to fall under the spell, Gao Hongyuan could use her life to threaten Xiao Yanchu, thus indirectly controlling the Great Chu.
Gao Hongyuan has quite a lot of ambition.
Su Ruojin then looked at the method to cure the Dream-Eating Gu. It was indeed necessary to mix human blood with fresh meat and then use it with a sleeping animal to lure it out and kill it.
Moreover, the Dream-Eating Gu does not require a mother-child Gu. Rather than calling it a Gu worm, it is more accurate to describe it as a poisonous insect. It simply needs to be nourished by human blood day and night, and then allowed to live among flowers and plants. The more precious the flowers and plants, the better the effect.
An ordinary Dream-Eating Gu takes a month to kill, but one raised in a Spirit Purple Orchid can kill in just seven days.
After a person dies, the Dream-Eating Gu will also die. Its transparent body merges with the person's body, and no one can find out the cause of death. At most, the coroner can see various pits and holes in the person's brain, but he can't explain why.
Moreover, Su Ruojin is the Regent's Consort of the Great Chu Kingdom. If she really died from the Dream-Eating Gu, who would dare to dissect her body to investigate the cause of death?
It must be said that if it weren't for my innate vigilance and the fact that I happened to become Fu Linglong's disciple and learn Gu techniques, I might have really fallen for it.
Gu magic!
At this moment, Su Ruojin decided that she would do her best to research a method that could diagnose the Gu worm and use medical skills to remove it, so that it would no longer harm people in the dark.
Xiao Yanchu's eyes were also filled with icy coldness; Gao Hongyuan could not be allowed to live!
Su Ruojin saw the anger in Xiao Yanchu's eyes and gently took his hand. "Yanchu, don't worry. I will settle the score with Gao Hongyuan slowly. The ministers of Xiaoyue will not let him off the hook either."
Then Su Ruojin leaned close to Xiao Yanchu's ear and whispered a few words.
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Yanchu's eyes. "Is it really true?"
“I have my doubts, but everything remains to be seen,” Su Ruojin said.
Xiao Yanchu knew that A Jin usually wouldn't suspect anything randomly, so the things she questioned were most likely problematic.
"No rush, we'll have the results tomorrow." A sharp glint flashed in Xiao Yanchu's eyes.
If it's true, there'll be a good show to watch tomorrow.
Morning next day.
As agreed, Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu led Yuan Hong and Dapu to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Ji Yanzhuo sat on the dragon throne in the hall. Gao Hongyuan stood to Ji Yanzhuo's left, and behind him, a curtain hung, behind which sat Empress Dowager Wu.
Upon seeing Yuan Hong and Da Pu appear, some court officials were excited, some were incredulous, and some were bewildered.
Some of these officials knew about the past, but many more were completely unaware of what happened back then.
Empress Dowager Wu gripped the armrests of her phoenix chair tightly to suppress her anger.
Although she didn't know who Ji Yanche was in front of her, she was sure it was one of them.
That little bastard is really lucky, just like his slutty mother.
And that damned Su Ruojin, she's actually the Regent's Consort of the Great Chu Kingdom. Otherwise, why go through all this trouble? We could have just killed her in secret.
