Chapter 148 Prayers
"Gu poison?"

If these words came from someone else, Fang Zhengjun must have felt that that person was talking nonsense, and he was sure to beat him all over the place, but seeing Fang Ruxuan's calm face that could not hide the pain, Fang Zhengjun suddenly felt that his heart seemed to be It's like not jumping anymore, time seems to stand still.

From his birth until now, except for the moment when his mother Su Xin passed away, he has only felt this way.

After going through so many tribulations, why doesn't God let Prince Qi's mansion go?Don't let your father go?
Fang Zhengjun felt sad.

"Are you sure it's Gu poison? If so, is there a cure?"

Looking at Fang Ruxuan with a hint of expectation, Fang Zhengjun asked bitterly.

Fang Ruxuan shook her head, "I'm not sure. Now, we can only wait and see. Since that person has put in so much effort, he must ask for something, right?"

The two brothers and sisters were standing in the courtyard of Qingfengzhai talking, a glimmer of dawn gradually appeared in the sky, and then, the night seemed to get darker.

"The darkness before dawn, you mean now, right?"

With a pun, Fang Ruxuan let out a breath of white air, looked back at Fang Zhengjun and said, "Brother, don't worry too much, I believe that there is always a way."

While talking, Kapok's soft call sounded outside, Fang Ruxuan stepped forward to open the courtyard door, and saw Kapok leaning over to whisper a few words.

Chu Dong came with the people he had summoned.

When Fang Ruxuan and Fang Zhengjun rushed to the conference hall, they saw three people standing behind Chu Dong. Their makeup made people feel a little nondescript.

A middle-aged man with a simple and honest face, wearing patched clothes, looks like a farmer in a suburban village.

An old man with gray hair and a hunchback, his face was wrinkled and his eyes were squeezed into slits.

Another one turned out to be a pretty woman who was still holding a baby, she seemed to be still breastfeeding, so she carried the baby along with her.

Except for the old man who might look like a doctor, the other two people didn't seem to be people with medical skills. Fang Zhengjun looked back at Fang Ruxuan suspiciously, wondering when she met these people.

In Fang Ruxuan's heart, she did not dare to be sloppy at all.

Fang Ruxuan had no doubts about Chu Yuan's ability. If these people were not really capable, Chu Yuan would not have made great efforts to recruit them for his own use.

What's more, now that these three people are walking on the street, who would have thought that they would be people with medical skills. Isn't this the simplest but safest disguise technique?

With some hope in her heart, Fang Ruxuan nodded and smiled at Chudong gratefully, and politely led the three of them towards Nuanxiang Hall.

Along the way, Fang Ruxuan felt that these three people should not be underestimated.

Anyone who came to Prince Qi's Mansion for the first time would be overwhelmed by the majestic buildings. Although everyone kept their eyes straight, the envy in their eyes could not be concealed.

But the three of them seemed to be walking on the street outside, they didn't feel that they were in the palace at all, they looked relaxed, they didn't look like they were here to see a doctor.

Fang Zhengjun followed behind, secretly amazed in his heart, and when he looked at Fang Ruxuan again, he felt even more that he had underestimated this sister in the past.

After seeing these three people, Concubine Shen didn't ask any more questions about what she was asked to do, so she quickly got ready.

After a stick of incense, the three of them came out of the inner hall with serious expressions on their faces.

"I look at it, it seems to be the poison of Miao Jiang..."

The pretty woman spoke first.

Fang Zhengjun and Fang Ruxuan were shocked, while Mu Mian received Fang Ruxuan's wink and went to the side hall to invite Ye Changfeng.

The four of them were standing or sitting around the round table, talking about King Qi's strange symptoms while analyzing the similarities or differences with the Gu poison. After a while, the four of them had basically concluded; King Qi was indeed poisoned by Gu, as for which type it is, it remains to be further observed.

When I came to this conclusion, it was already bright outside, thinking that Fang Zhengjun was still on duty, Fang Ruxuan hurriedly pushed him back to the house to change clothes and have breakfast, she would pay close attention here, thinking that these people were all invited by Fang Ruxuan He came, and since he hadn't been of any help since yesterday, Fang Zhengjun left with a guilty expression on his face.

In the main hall, Ye Changfeng and the others were still discussing how to determine what kind of Gu poison King Qi was poisoned by. Fang Ruxuan listened intently until Ye Changfeng said that the person who tied the bell needed to untie the bell. The person who manipulated the poison was backlashed, and when he caught the person to detoxify King Qi, the hall suddenly became quiet.

"Is this method feasible?"

Fang Ruxuan asked nervously as her eyes flicked over the faces of the three people Chu Dong brought.

None of the three spoke, as if they were analyzing the pros and cons of the risks. After a while, the old man clicked his tongue and said: "The method is feasible, but the capital is so big, if the Gu controler hides well, maybe there is no one." When we find him, King Qi has already been tortured to death by Gu poison, the risk is too great."

The other two nodded approvingly.

Ye Changfeng stopped talking, crossed his arms, and lowered his head to think. Fang Ruxuan frowned, feeling as if he had entered a dead end.

The tranquility was broken, and Ding Xiang came in to reply, saying that there was movement in Yixin Hall, and Su Yuan might come over.

Not wanting Ye Changfeng and others to be discovered by Su Yuan, Fang Ruxuan hurriedly sent them out of the Nuanxiang Palace, begging them to think of a way.

Chu Dong also said that he would arrange for people to search for clues in the capital to see if there were any suspicious people. After all, since the poison came from Miaojiang, the person who controlled the Gu was from Miaojiang, and the people in the capital were from Miaojiang. There is still a noticeable difference in appearance.

When I returned to Nuanxiang Palace, I saw Su Yuan reprimanding Concubine Shen with a serious face, saying that she had failed the high hopes of the prince, and the prince still had a high fever after a night of hard work.

Concubine Shen felt bitter in her heart, but she also understood that Su Yuan was deliberately finding fault, so she just listened to Su Yuan's scolding with humiliation.

When Fang Ruxuan entered the door, Su Yuan stopped talking, and said with a sarcasm, "If the lord hasn't woken up yet, I'll see how you explain it when the time comes", and walked away with her.

"Princess, is the prince really poisoned?"

Concubine Shen knew a thing or two about the situation in the main hall. Now, King Qi was still unconscious and couldn't even take the medicine.

Fang Ruxuan didn't know what to say, so she could only comfort Concubine Shen with soft words, asking her to take good care of King Qi, and went back to Shu Yuxuan with a heavy heart.

After drinking a bowl of porridge and leaning on the soft couch, Fang Ruxuan's mind was in a mess.

She can be sure that Su Yuan is related to her father's bewitching, and the person behind him is probably King Lu.

Since King Lu was so bold, it was expected that Fang Ruxuan and others would not guess that it was Gu poison. After all, it sounded too unbelievable, and even the imperial doctor couldn't diagnose what the problem was.

Secondly, the hiding place of the person who controlled the Gu was very secretive, even if Fang Ruxuan invited capable people and strangers to diagnose that King Qi had been poisoned by Gu, there was absolutely no way to save him.

Going around, it seems that this is a dead end.

Su Yuan...

Thinking bitterly in her heart, Fang Ruxuan realized at this moment that she had far underestimated Su Yuan's stupidity and boldness: what else can a woman who can even count on the people next to her pillow not do?

But, didn't she ever think that once something happened to King Qi and the Prince Qi's mansion existed in name only, what value would there be for her, Princess Qi?
Or, King Lu promised her higher honor than Princess Qi, or was it wealth?
Thinking silently, Fang Ruxuan had an idea: Maybe, we can start to test Su Yuan, and maybe we will find something different.

After summoning Kapok and giving her some careful instructions, Fang Ruxuan got up and went to Qingfengzhai.

In the afternoon, Chen Mei brought Concubine Wu, Concubine Yun, Concubine Zhu, Fang Ruxuan and others to the Yixin Hall, saying that she was going to Jingxin Pavilion to pray for the prince, and asked Su Yuan if she wanted to come with her.

King Qi is seriously ill, what reason does Su Yuan have to refuse?
After preparing incense, candles, sacrifices and other things, it was already evening, and when Su Yuan and his party arrived at Jingxin Pavilion, it was already dark.

Whether it is true or false, everyone has their own prayers in their hearts.

Afterwards, they went to Nuanxiang Hall together again, King Qi still didn't feel better, everyone sat for a while, and then went back to the sleeping hall to rest.

When Fang Ruxuan returned to Shuyuxuan, Kapok had already returned.

Shaking his head, Mu Mian said with some frustration: "I didn't find the slightest bit of strangeness in the palace of the princess. Presumably, they were afraid of showing their feet this time, so they handled it very carefully."

Or, was she guessing wrong, and it wasn't Su Yuan who did it?

As soon as the idea came up, Fang Ruxuan shook her head and vetoed it: She remembered clearly that when she first saw the poison, it was mentioned in the book that after being infected by the poison, it must be supplemented with medicine to trigger the outbreak of the poison. When he and Su Yuan came back from the Qiutang Club, although King Qi was drunk, he could still talk and walk, and he didn't wake up until the next morning. So, it must be that night that Su Yuan moved his hands and feet.

What could it be?

Fang Ruxuan felt her head was about to explode.

After a while, she got up and faced outside, calling to Kapok, "Let's go, let's go to Shanshuiju."

The ancient books that Fang Ruxuan has read are all from King Qi's collection. Although it has been a long time, Fang Ruxuan still wants to find that book and see if she can find anything.

All night, the master and the servant were busy in the study room. It was not until dawn that Fang Ruxuan held the book in her hand and let out a sigh of relief. Finally, her hard work paid off.

According to the book, most of the poisonous poisons are colorless and tasteless, but it will be easier to get them if they are supplemented with wine. Therefore, when the person who controls the Gu poisons the poison, he will put the main body of the poison in the wine. It is abnormal, but once the person who controls the Gu controls it, then the person who is caught by the Gu will show different symptoms according to the characteristics of the Gu caught.

And the distance between the person who controls the Gu and the person who is infected by the Gu must not exceed ten feet, otherwise, once the manipulation is out of control, both sides will suffer.

ten feet...

So, this Gu controler is actually hiding in the palace?

When Fang Ruxuan thought of this, she felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her in the dark, and suddenly felt a little creepy.
