Chapter 285 The Maid Sold From Nanyang
Concubine Hua just came to rescue the siege, and it wasn't because she was unwell. Chu Yunni walked with her on the palace road, and suddenly remembered to ask her something.

"The Crown Prince of Nanyang has entered the capital in the past two days. I wonder if the concubine Hua has heard of it?"

Concubine Hua nodded, "Prince Nanyang's entry to Beijing is a major event, and this palace knows it. I heard that the emperor wanted to hold a banquet for Prince Nanyang, but Prince Nanyang refused."

Having said that, Concubine Hua looked at Chu Yunni and smiled subtly. "I heard that the Prince of Nanyang is a good-looking man, capable of writing and martial arts. He is the Queen Mother's favored son-in-law for the Seventh Princess."

Concubine Hua glanced at the direction Mo Xun left. "The Seventh Princess has been here for a long time with Master Mo. Since she is the queen mother's target, she must not be bad. But seeing Master Mo's state, I'm afraid I don't want to give you a good life."

Chu Yunni blurted out, "He still shows me the day? It's fine if he doesn't say that other people have problems with their horoscopes."

Concubine Hua covered her mouth and smiled tacitly.

Chu Yunni put away her thoughts.Ask Concubine Hua. "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of Nanyang Gu Poison?"

Concubine Hua was about to shake her head, but suddenly remembered something again. "In the past, I heard that there are people who specialize in raising Gu in Nanyang. It used to be Yanggu to save people, but later it turned into raising Gu to harm people. In the end, even Nanyang banned this method, and no one is allowed to practice Gu."

Concubine Hua paused. "Why did the princess ask about this?"

Chu Yunni didn't say anything clearly, but just continued to ask. "Have you ever heard about this kind of Gu, how does it save people and how does it harm people?"

Concubine Hua thought about it carefully, but only gave a rough idea. "I only heard about it, not everything. There should be such information or books in Beijing. If the seventh princess wants to know more, she just needs to ask someone to look it up."

What Concubine Hua said about Chu Yunni had already been read in the book, and there was nothing new about it.After talking casually with Concubine Hua, Chu Yunni wanted to say goodbye first, and was about to leave to find Prince Nanyang and ask a few more questions.

As soon as she turned around and didn't take a few steps, Concubine Hua stopped her. "My mother's family has a long-term worker. The family came from Nanyang, so maybe they can know something. If the princess is not busy, I will ask him to come over tomorrow to ask questions. When the time comes, the princess can come to Huayu Palace."

"Tomorrow? Can you call him over today?"

Seeing her in such a hurry, Concubine Hua was a little surprised when the time came.Concubine Hua turned around and ordered people to go back to her mother's house now and find that person. "If that person arrives at the palace in a while, I will send someone to Liudan Hall to inform the princess."

After thanking Concubine Hua, Chu Yunni returned to Liudan Hall.

I went back and looked through my medical books, all of which had nothing to do with Gu techniques.And those related to Gu are still stored in Qin Tianjian.

Putting down the medical book in her hand, Chu Yunni ordered Zhiqiu to send someone to General Xu's mansion to inquire about Miss Xu's condition, and then to Chen's house to inquire about Elder Chen's health.

Finally, he remembered that Shangguan Rui, whom he had forgotten for a long time, also inquired about it before reporting back.

After giving these orders, Chu Yunni let out a long breath of foul air.

Now, we can only wait for news from Concubine Hua.

But after a while, Zhiqiu inquired about General Xu's residence and the Chen family.

It is said that although Miss Xu Er is still physically weak, her spirit has improved a lot.It's just a serious illness, Second Miss Xu looks a little haggard, and I'm afraid she will have to take care of her for a long time.

Cheng Lao is still sick in bed, but Beijing will ask why Chu Yunni didn't come to see him?He also said that the people he served in front of him were not dedicated.

Chu Yunni felt a little guilty, "Isn't Mrs. Liu serving in front of him?"

Zhiqiu shook his head, "The princess just ordered to inquire about Mr. Chen's recent situation, and did not mention Mrs. Liu, so naturally the servant did not order."

Chu Yunni waved her hand, "That's all."

After waiting for nearly two hours, it was almost evening, before Concubine Hua called someone to tell Chu Yunni that the long-term worker had entered the palace.

Chu Yunni hurried to Huayu Palace, ran directly to the main hall, entered the hall, and saw a person kneeling in front of Concubine Hua.Seeing her, Concubine Hua hurried over and said, "This is the person you are looking for."

Chu Yunni walked up to the man. The man lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly, but he had a stocky figure. It seemed that he was indeed a long-term worker.

"Is this the one who has been working in your house?"

Concubine Hua nodded.

Chu Yunni asked again. "Never been out of the capital?" It seemed a bit insufficient, so she changed the question again: "Never left Dachu?"

It was difficult for Concubine Hua to answer this question, so the man kowtowed and straightened up to answer. "The villain has been in the capital in recent years, and only went to his hometown in the countryside twice the year before last, and he came back within half a month."

"Where is my hometown?"

The man mentioned a place, and when Chu Yunni heard it, it was indeed a rural place not far from the capital.

Now the matter of Gu poison is only a month or two at most, and this person returned to the countryside two years ago, there should be no possibility of contact.

"The Seventh Princess can just ask you directly." Concubine Hua waved her hand, and all the maids in the palace retreated.

Seeing such a posture, the man was slightly nervous.Seeing his honesty, he didn't dare to lie, Chu Yunni comforted him a few words before asking. "You heard that your family is from Nanyang, how much do you know about Nanyang?"

The man answered quickly. "The villain's mother was sold to Dachu by Nanyang, and then she settled down in her mother's house. That's when the villain was born. The villain's understanding of Nanyang is only heard from his mother, and he doesn't know too much."

"Then let me ask you, do you know the Gu poison in Nanyang?"

The man thought about it. "I seem to have heard my mother say these two words."

Chu Yunni stopped making rounds, and asked directly: "Then did your mother ever mention that there is a kind of Gu worm, good water?"

The man thought about it again, but did not respond for a long time.

When Chu Yunni was waiting impatiently, the man suddenly opened his eyes wide. "The villain remembered, mother did mention that there are people in Nanyang raising such a kind of Gu worm,"

The man said politely: "That kind of Gu worm needs to be planted with special care. It is usually placed on other things. Once it is contaminated with human blood, it will penetrate into the human body and suck the human blood. It makes people look like skeletons, and the young ones look like old age. They look very scary. If they are discovered early, they can be drawn out with water, and their lives can be saved, but if they are discovered too late, the essence and blood will be sucked dry. Those who play Gu can only wait to die."

That's right, this is it!
Chu Yunni asked: "Can it be drawn out with only water? But how can it be drawn out?"

The man shook his head. "My mother only mentioned this sentence, and she didn't ask again when she was young."

Although Concubine Hua didn't understand why Chu Yunni asked this, but seeing her serious expression, she also knew that this matter was no small matter.

After calming down, Concubine Hua ordered: "Think carefully about whether your mother has mentioned anything else."

It took another half-hour for the man to say hesitantly, "I really don't remember, I just remember that my mother said that I need water, and I need a lot of water."

water.

Lots and lots of water.

Rivers and seas?
"That's right!" the man suddenly shouted.
