When Xiao Yanchu saw Hu Qing like this, he knew something must have happened.
As expected, Hu Qing bowed and said, "This subordinate greets Your Highness and Your Highness."
"What happened?"
"Two people died in prison."
Xiao Yanchu narrowed his eyes. The fake princess and Song Zijie were locked in the dungeon of the Prince's mansion. No one except the people of the Prince's mansion could possibly break in and kill them.
"How did he die?"
"I was unaware that the two men died suddenly, simultaneously vomiting blood."
Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu exchanged a glance. "Let's go take a look," Su Ruojin said.
When Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin arrived at the dungeon, the bodies of the fake princess and Song Zijie had already been unchained and placed on the ground.
Su Ruojin stepped forward to check on the two of them and found no signs of poisoning.
She put on cloth gloves, took out a scalpel, and gently cut open the abdomens of the two people.
When Xiao Yanchu and Hu Qing saw the two men's abdomens, they were both shocked.
All the organs in their abdomens were a blur, as if something had exploded inside them, shattering the organs.
Su Ruojin hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Could you bring Aya with you?"
"You suspect it's a curse?" Xiao Yanchu already knew about Aya and Dapu's affair.
Su Ruojin nodded. "Since it's not poisoning, the most likely cause of this situation is a Gu poison."
"good."
Xiao Yanchu made his move, and Aya was quickly brought to the Prince's mansion.
After seeing the two corpses, Aya wrote on a piece of paper she had prepared: "The two of them are infected with the Mother-Child Gu. The two of them have the Child Gu in their bodies. They need to consume something with the scent of the Mother Gu over a period of time, otherwise they will explode and die."
Something that smells like a mother gu?
It seems that the fake princess and Song Zijie were imprisoned in the dungeon and missed taking the medicine to suppress the Gu worms, which is why they exploded and died.
"So the mother Gu (a type of worm) knows they're both dead?"
Aya nodded.
The mother and child Gu are originally one.
The original plan was to use the two of them to lure out the person behind it all, but it seems that lead has gone cold.
"Can you track down the other party?"
Since she was poisoned by Gu last time, Su Ruojin has gained a general understanding of Gu techniques and knows that some Gu can be traced back to their mother Gu.
Aya shook her head and wrote: "The Zi Gu is dead and cannot be tracked. The person who cast the Gu is more powerful than me. Even if the Yuan Gu were alive, I still wouldn't be able to track it."
Gu masters are also divided into different levels. Lower-level Gu masters cannot undo the Gu poison cast by higher-level Gu masters.
This matter can only be put on hold for now.
"Has the Gu been administered?" Su Ruojin asked, changing the subject.
Aya wrote again: It's been downloaded and can be activated at any time.
Su Ruojin nodded, "No rush."
Didn't Yaolan put the Heart-Eating Gu on her?
She naturally wanted to retaliate in kind.
However, with the marriage alliance between the Great Chu and the Northern Li, if Yao Lan were to die now, it would disrupt the temporary peace between the two countries.
Even if Aya said that Bei Li wanted to attack Da Chu, it was just a thought, and there was still a distance between thinking and taking action. She did this only to prevent problems before they occurred.
If Yao Lan does anything detrimental to the Great Chu, this Gu could take her life at any time!
"Give me your hand," Su Ruojin said.
Aya didn't know what Su Ruojin was going to do, but she still obediently reached out her hand.
Su Ruojin took her wrist, but withdrew her hand after a while. "Go back first, and don't let Yaolan find out. I will take good care of Dapu for you."
Aya was about to kneel down and kowtow to Su Ruojin again, but Su Ruojin stopped her.
