The pet career of Shaoqing of Dali Temple

Chapter 243 Unsolved Mysterious Case, Gu Poison and Chong Niang

Mr. Changyuan's words left everyone speechless for a while in shock.

Changhen was stunned there unable to recover.

"Poisoned?"

Chang Yuan sipped his tea slowly, "Yes, he came to ask me for the prescription in person."

"Father wants to poison the imperial concubine he is treating?"

"He was also forced to do nothing." Chang Yuan sighed, "I asked him to retire a long time ago...but he..."

"Who, who forced father to poison the imperial concubine?"

Chang Yuan sighed again, "Those are the things of the previous generation. People in the family are now dying and fleeing. Don't pursue this matter anymore."

"No!" Chang Hen stood up abruptly, almost knocking over the teacup in front of him, "At least I want to know who killed my father."

Chang Yuan put down the teacup and looked at Chang Hen helplessly, "Even if you know the answer, you can't touch the other party, and if the other party knows your life experience, even your life will be lost."

Changhen stood there motionless.

Ru Xiaonan could tell that she had made up her mind.

Chang Yuan was silent for a long while, "Well, you are his daughter, since you want to know, then I will tell you, your father entered the palace to see a doctor for an emperor's favorite concubine, and that concubine is said to be A native of Qi, she is extremely beautiful and is deeply favored by the emperor, but she was pregnant before the empress, so she became a thorn in the side of some people."

After hearing this, Qing Moyan's eyes were all dimmed, including Qing Moyan.

In the palace, such things are very common.

The empress of the harem is the most powerful, and whoever wins the limelight will naturally become an obstacle to the empress. You must know that the empress's child is a banished son and will become a prince in the future. How can she allow other concubines to give birth to a child before her? It was also the child of a woman who was extremely favored by the emperor.

The other party is likely to threaten her status.

"At that time, the favorite concubine had a health problem, and the imperial physician in the palace was helpless. The empress recommended your father to the emperor, so your father was called into the palace by the emperor."

"What happened later..." Chang Hen paused every word, she never expected the truth to be like this.

"Your father had no choice but to obey orders. You know everything after leaving the palace."

He poisoned that beloved concubine, how could the empress keep him, so naturally she wanted to get rid of him.

"But he managed to find a way to protect you." Chang Yuan said quietly, "This can be regarded as a blessing among misfortunes."

"Did that beloved concubine die later?" Changhen asked.

Chang Yuan shook his head, "This... There are many opinions."

Chang Hen was stunned, not to mention that it is difficult for ordinary people to live with Gu poison, if a pregnant woman is poisoned by Gu poison, there is no way to get rid of it.

"How do you say that?" Changhen asked.

"It was rumored that the beloved concubine was seriously ill. One night, she dreamed that the Buddhist hall was clear of smoke, so she begged the emperor to allow her to go out of the palace to offer incense, and the emperor sent someone to protect her from the palace..."

"They went to Huayan Temple?" Qing Moyan suddenly asked.

Chang Yuan nodded slowly, "Exactly."

Ru Xiaonan and Chang Hen could not help but turn to Qing Moyan.

"How do you know where it is?" Ru Xiaonan asked in a low voice.

Qing Moyan pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.

Ru Xiaonan saw that his expression was not good, so she obediently did not press the question any further.

In fact, it wasn't that Qing Moyan didn't want to speak, but that he couldn't restrain the uneasiness and anxiety surging in his heart.

In order to track down his biological mother, he also secretly investigated his father. It was precisely because he was ordered by the emperor to go to Huayan Temple. Since then, he has lost power and has never been reused by the emperor.

"The emperor's favorite concubine went to Huayan Temple, what happened afterwards?" Changhen asked.

"She's missing." Chang Yuan said quietly.

"Missing?" Changhen was taken aback.

You must know that she is the emperor's favorite concubine, how could she disappear for no reason.

"That day, the side hall of Huayan Temple suddenly caught fire, and there was great chaos in the temple. The side hall was burned to ashes, and the emperor's favorite concubine disappeared. Some people said that she was burned to ashes, while others said that she was kidnapped. Anyway, in the end, the emperor was furious and beheaded all the Jinwu guards who escorted them to Huayan Temple that day, and countless officials in the Jinwu guards were dismissed because of this."

Qing Moyan closed her eyes heavily.

His father used to work in the Jinwu Guard in the palace.

Chang Yuan and Chang Hen continued to say something, but he didn't listen to a single word, chaotic thoughts flashed back and forth in his mind, which only made him dizzy, and a layer of blood appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, he felt someone tugging at the corner of his clothes.

"Qing Moyan, do you want some tea?" Ru Xiaonan approached him holding a steaming cup of tea.

Qing Moyan looked at her steadfastly, the blood in her eyes gradually receded, and her clarity returned.

"Thank you." Qing Moyan took the tea, but didn't drink it. Instead, she took Ru Xiaonan and let her sit on her lap.

Ru Xiaonan looked anxiously at the old Mr. Changyuan opposite, it would be a bit impolite for her to sit on Qing Moyan like this on such an occasion.

She used to look like a child, but now she has grown so big...

"Let me lean on for a while." Qing Moyan tightened her arms and rested her forehead on the back of her neck, "I have a headache..."

Ru Xiaonan obediently sat still, she could feel Qing Moyan's hot breath sweeping over the back of her neck.

At this moment, Chang Hen finished talking with Chang Yuan, and his expression was obviously not very good.

"By the way, I have one last thing to ask you for advice." Changhen looked at Qing Moyan, "Master Shaoqing also has Gu poison in his body, some people say that the thing in his body is the Gu king, do you know how to cure the Gu king's poison? "

"The poison of Gu King?" Chang Yuan looked at Qing Moyan, slowly stretched out his hand, and nodded to him, "Sit closer."

Qing Moyan got up and sat down opposite Chang Yuan, but he didn't let go of Ru Xiaonan, but still wrapped his arms around her waist. Ru Xiaonan was a little embarrassed, and lowered her head to avoid Chang Yuan's gaze.

Fortunately, Chang Yuan was not interested in her appearance, so he asked Qing Moyan to stretch out his left hand and cut the pulse door.

"It really is Gu King." Chang Yuan smiled, "Rare, rare."

"I don't know if this kind of Gu poison can be cured by my father's prescription?" Changhen said anxiously.

Mr. Changyuan nodded first, then shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Changhen asked.

"It's true that your father's prescription can detoxify the Gu poison, and it naturally includes the poison of the Gu king, but the Gu king is the most rare thing in the world, so it would be a pity to remove it like this."

Qing Moyan frowned, "What is Gu King, and how is this poison different from ordinary Gu poison?"

Chang Yuan let go of Qing Moyan's veins, twirled his beard and said, "If you talk about Gu worms, you have to mention the worm girls of Qi State. I wonder if you have heard their legends?"

"I've heard a little bit about it." Qing Moyan has investigated a lot of things about Gu poison in recent years, "They are a secret clan in Qi State, women in the clan use their bodies as offerings to Gu insects to drive them away."

Chang Yuan nodded, "That's right, they are the source of the Gu poison."

"What does this have to do with the matter of Gu King?" Changhen asked.

Chang Yuan smiled slightly, "The Gu worms raised in the Chongniang's body live with the owner, and die, but no one can live to the end of their life, so the Gu worms in their bodies cannot have the opportunity to turn into Gu king, but there are exceptions to everything, if the Gu worms in the insect mother's body can survive the death of their owner in someone else's body, they can become a Gu king."

Changhen and Qing Moyan looked at each other in dismay.

After the insect mothers died, the insects in their bodies could no longer survive, how could they live in other people's bodies after their death?

Ru Xiaonan felt that the smile on Mr. Changyuan's face was a little vague, she seemed to have seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
