Song Yuanshi quickly smeared the blood on the wound. The bulge inside was attracted by the fragrance and ran over here.
Ji Changying stared at it closely, and as soon as the insect head appeared, she hardened her heart, reached out with lightning speed, pulled it out, and crushed it.
Such an action stunned Mr. Huang and the others.
When Huang Lao realized what was happening, he jumped up and grabbed Ji Changying's hand to check it out: "You idiot! This is a poisonous insect! As long as it comes into contact with human skin, it will burrow into it! Do you think your hands are iron vests?!"
Ji Changying had suffered losses at the hands of Huiji, so she naturally knew how powerful this thing was.
When she reached out to grab, her entire hand was covered with an invisible layer of mental power, so she was fearless.
Huang Lao held her hand and looked at it for a while, then pulled her ear and found that there was no red spot. Then he said in surprise, "Huh?"
"What's going on? Are you okay?"
Ji Changying knew that Mr. Huang was concerned about her, so she said weakly, "I have something to do."
"What’s wrong with you?"
Ji Changying raised her hand: "It's disgusting..."
Huang Lao slapped her hand aside and said, "You're lucky this time, but you better be more careful next time!"
At this point, he glared at Tang Qingfeng fiercely: "You useless piece of shit! You almost messed up such a small thing!"
Tang Qingfeng was scolded with a face full of grievance: "This is the first time I, your disciple, have seen that thing. Who would have thought... it was so disgusting!"
"Get out of here! Good-for-nothing!"
Old Huang took the thing from Tang Qingfeng's hand and asked Ji Changying to see where the remaining two poisonous insects were, and he took action himself.
Doctor Sun didn't dare get too close this time, for fear that he would also become nauseous and unable to control himself. He lit the brazier with a fire starter and waited for the opportunity.
After the first experience, the next two times went much more smoothly. After Ji Changying found the location, Song Yuanshi and Huang Lao started to lure the insects out, then quickly picked them up with daggers and threw them into the brazier.
Soon a foul smell filled the room.
In the dark room on the other side, Huiji's eyes, which were tightly closed, suddenly opened. After feeling the restlessness of the Gu mother in his hand, he cut open the palm of his hand and squeezed out a few drops of blood to feed the Gu mother.
"I didn't expect... I didn't die."
······
Although the bugs were eliminated, the three people's bodies were still severely damaged and they needed to recuperate for a while.
This result was already quite good. Ji Changying heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Then I'll trouble Envoy Song and Grandpa Huang to take care of it."
When Old Huang heard her address him like that, he suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha, that shameless guy hasn't even heard you call me Grandpa Huang yet! I've heard it plenty of times, so I win this time! So satisfying!"
In the palace.
Upon hearing the news that Prince Ping was going to enter the palace today, everyone in the court became hesitant.
Things that used to be explained in a few words began to become lukewarm today. Everyone understood each other tacitly, and the atmosphere in the court was surprisingly harmonious, which was rare.
Emperor Mingde knew it very well, but he didn't expose it. He just kept wasting time with everyone.
"Your Majesty, it hasn't been long since Lord Xie arbitrarily slaughtered the guards of Prince Duan's Palace. Lord Xie has now gone to Xuanxu Academy and arrested several students. This has truly aroused public outrage. If he doesn't punish them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!"
At this time, another master stood up and said, "Not only that... I just heard a piece of news a few days ago. It is said that Master Xie not only robbed the property of Marquis Xuanping at home, but also... beat up the Marquis Xuanping!"
Everyone, who had been feeling that time was passing slowly and was feeling a bit tormented, suddenly perked up after hearing these words and looked towards Marquis Xuanping.
Marquis Xuanping seemed to be surprised that someone would suddenly mention him, and he tried to cover his arm in panic. His action immediately attracted the attention of the people next to him, who pulled his arm and lifted his sleeve.
Just one glance and the people around were immediately in an uproar.
"The Marquis really has injuries from being beaten!"
"It's still caused by a sharp weapon!"
"Hiss! Could it be that Master Xie is actually planning to kill his father?"
Such an action undoubtedly aroused public anger, and those who had been watching the show for the time being had to pay attention to this issue now.
Just imagine that such an unfilial person actually serves as an official in the court with them. Wouldn't it make people follow his example?
If the younger generations in their own family regard such people as role models, then wouldn't Xuanping Hou's today be their tomorrow?
Even some neutral people stood up and said, "Your Majesty, our great country Dali has always valued benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and filial piety. How can such a person serve in the court?"
"Your Majesty! If he dares to assault his parents today, he might kill the king tomorrow! Your Majesty!"
Emperor Mingde yawned, wondering impatiently why Zhonglizhou hadn't arrived yet. He was starting to make trouble for no reason.
"Marquis Xuanping! Tell me, was the wound on your arm caused by Prince Xie?"
Emperor Mingde lowered his eyelids and looked at Marquis Xuanping below, wanting to see how he would answer.
Under the gaze of Emperor Mingde, Marquis Xuanping took a deep breath and replied, "Your Majesty...it was an accident. It has nothing to do with Lord Xie."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was caused by a sharp weapon, but he insisted that he bumped into something himself. No one would believe him if he said that!
What's more, listening to the tone of Marquis Xuanping, he actually called his own son Lord Xie!
This is simply...
"Marquis Xuanping! I know you've always kept a low profile, but with so many of us here, we can definitely get justice for you!"
Cui Taibao looked at Marquis Xuanping, who seemed to be trying to calm things down, frowned and tried to persuade him.
Marquis Xuanping gave a bitter laugh and said, "It was really my own fault."
The helplessness on his face made people feel sad. Xie Siheng stood there as if he didn't hear the farce here, and didn't even glance at them.
The person who first exposed this matter stood up indignantly and said, "Whether it was Lord Xie who did it, we can ask the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion. When he went to ask the doctor that day, I heard it clearly. What he said was..."
"Prince Ping, Zhongli Zhou requests an audience!"
Emperor Mingde almost immediately sat up straighter: "Announce!"
This action actually directly ignored the official who had just spoken. His face turned pale and blue. He stepped aside and did not dare to speak again, for fear that he would end up like the censor last time.
Xie Siheng glanced at Marquis Xuanping, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
When Marquis Xuanping saw his expression, a trace of anger flashed through his heart.
This rebellious son! If I had known this would happen, I should have strangled him to death!
"Grandson Zhonglizhou pays homage to His Majesty!"
Zhongli Zhou knelt down immediately after entering the palace. "My father led an army of 300,000 to guard the border. He fought against the Tatars, Silla, and Oirat for eight months, and finally forced them to surrender."
"My father has specially ordered my grandson to travel day and night to bring the spoils back to the capital and present them to my grandfather!"
