Chapter 238 Mother Gu
"Doctor Xu can treat you, and your illness will be completely cured."
"I know."
But the emperor knew even more that finding the mother Gu was as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.
Gu Feixue didn't know how to explain her superpowers. "Your Majesty, I..." She hesitated, trying to organize her words for a long time before finally speaking, defying logic. "I was born with a mysterious ability. I can see through things. Right now, I see this poisonous insect moving right on your heart."
The emperor was not too surprised, but nodded calmly.
Gu Feixue placed the porcelain bottle next to her in front of the emperor. "You can put anything in it. I know what it is."
The emperor didn't know what Gu Feixue meant. At this moment, he grabbed a few different things and threw them in. Unexpectedly, Gu Feixue could actually guess what was inside.
Yuchi Shuo was already familiar with these skills and was not curious about them at all.
At this moment, the emperor was dumbfounded, "You are truly extraordinary."
"Your Majesty, I have seen the mother Gu." Gu Feixue didn't know what to say. After all, what was going to happen next involved supernatural powers. If she continued to talk, if the emperor believed her, then she could try it. If he didn't, he might even kill her as a heretic or a spy for the Sixth Prince.
So she was cautious.
Seeing that Gu Feixue was hesitant to speak, Yuchi Shuo asked, "Where is the mother Gu?"
"In..." Gu Feixue pointed at his heart, "It's far away in the sky, yet it's right in front of you. The mother Gu is in your body." Gu Feixue could clearly see the mother Gu moving slowly on his heart, wriggling inch by inch, moving bit by bit.
"Really?"
The emperor would not believe such shocking words so easily.
"I did see it. This must be someone's plan to kill two birds with one stone. She wants to destroy both you and His Highness, and you both perish together."
Hearing this, Yuchi Shuo felt strange, "But why don't I feel anything at all, not even a pain or an itch?"
"This mother Gu won't hurt anyone. Once the child's host dies, problems will arise on the mother Gu's side. They are actually closely related."
"How can you prove that what you said is true? It's just empty words." Such a weird thing, not to mention that the emperor, who had met him several times, would not believe it, even Yuchi Shuo was half-believing and half-doubting.
Her observation at this moment is particularly important. If there is even the slightest problem, it is very likely that both of them will die.
When they were dealing with floods outside before, friction had arisen between the two due to trust issues. Since then, Yuchi Shuo gradually chose to trust Gu Feixue.
Now, Yuchi Shuo has no doubt about Gu Feixue's special ability, "Father, let her try it."
"Give it a try?" The emperor sighed, glancing at Gu Feixue. "This is your life and mine. If something goes wrong, we'll both perish. This will give him an opportunity to take advantage of us."
"Father, your life is hanging by a thread. Besides, I trust her completely."
Gu Feixue's trust was gained, and that feeling was truly unprecedentedly comfortable.
The two looked at each other, and the emperor finally closed his eyes slowly. He thought for a long time, but tears fell from the corners of his eyes. "I will give it a try."
Gu Feixue hurried to talk to the imperial physician.
Doctor Zhang was also very capable and claimed that he could get the poisonous insect out.
Now Yuchi Shuo was lying in front of Doctor Zhang and Gu Feixue.
Gu Feixue looked at him and saw that she was smiling. She knew that he had given his wholehearted trust in her. How could she not be happy?
"Don't worry, there will be no problem."
Just like thousands of times before, when faced with hardships and setbacks, she always smiled peacefully, but that smile was energetic and contagious.
Then Doctor Zhang prepared Ma Fei San.
"I believe in you, Xue'er, please don't let me down."
"Don't worry."
In fact, Gu Feixue could see that the emperor's so-called "belief" was just one-sided after all. The treatment began and both of them closed their eyes.
According to the procedure, Gu Feixue needed to assist Doctor Zhang in taking out the poisonous insect in his heart first. It was easy for the two to work together. Doctor Zhang initially did not believe that such an incredible thing would happen.
His bright eyes were fixed on the bottom of his palm.
He had just rubbed his palms with a special stone, which had an inexplicable attraction to the poisonous insects. In an instant, the poisonous insects became active. After a short while, the poisonous insects began to move again. Doctor Zhang watched as the poisonous insects swam out of Yuchi Shuo's heart, and then moved inch by inch to his forehead.
At this moment he suddenly understood.
With Gu Feixue's help, Imperial Physician Zhang was even more powerful. A moment later, the insect was taken out. It was like a fat silkworm, shaking its head and tail. Imperial Physician Zhang placed the mother insect in an enameled box.
The Gu suddenly emitted colorful light.
Gu Feixue leaned back a little and approached Yuchi Shuo gently.
He had slowly woken up, and when he saw the poisonous insect in Doctor Zhang's hand, he immediately understood that what Gu Feixue said was true. At this moment, Doctor Zhang was swaying in front of the emperor like a shaman. After an unknown amount of time, the poisonous insect was finally attracted out.
After a while, the emperor also woke up.
The emperor was still very weak. Seeing that the emperor had woken up, Yuchi Shuo hurried over to support him.
"I..." The emperor felt his heart relieved. "I have come back to life?"
"Father, you are fine, you are fine."
Over there, Doctor Zhang threw the two poisonous insects into the incense burner and left them to fend for themselves.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the poisonous insect disappear into dust and ashes.
After resting for a short while, the emperor sat up.
"You are really amazing now. I am so grateful to you. I..." There were so many words to say but I didn't know where to start. Gu Feixue just smiled faintly and said, "It's just a piece of cake."
"This is not a piece of cake. I should have believed you a long time ago." The emperor confessed. Gu Feixue was no longer prepared to continue talking about this matter.
"Father," Yuchi Shuo had a plan. "Why don't we take advantage of their strategy? Now..."
The three of them discussed it secretly.
In the afternoon, Wei Zhongxian came to see the emperor. Before he came, he brought a medical officer with him. His purpose of bringing the medical officer was naturally not to rob him of money or kill him, but to let this person see how long the emperor had left. He had been preparing for this day for many years.
As long as he could turn things around, he could be crowned emperor. He could no longer wait.
When the emperor saw Wei Zhongxian coming in, he was unable to speak and the corners of his mouth were twitching. Wei Zhongxian approached and knelt down in front of the emperor.
The emperor has been seriously ill in the past few years. After falling ill, he gradually saw through the truth of the world's fickleness. He also understood who is truly concerned about the country and who is just a hypocrite who only cares about profit and changes his ways according to the situation.
Before Wei Zhongxian came, he instructed the medical officer to examine the emperor.
But now when they went to the warm room, they found that the emperor was dying.
