I made the villain right.

In front of the vermilion lacquered gate of the Dali Temple, Luo Yi stood there in black clothes, holding a food box in her hand.

"Big brother, I'm looking for your Shaoqing Shi. Please help me inform him."

As he spoke, Luo Yi calmly stuffed a silver note into the guard's hand.

The guard's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the banknote, with a slight smile on his face: "Miss, please wait here for a moment."

After a while, Shi Sheng was seen walking towards them with a tall and imposing manner, wearing a red official robe.

His face was stern, but the moment he saw Luo Yi, a hint of tenderness appeared on his face. His thin lips curled up slightly and his pace quickened.

"Why are you here?" There was a barely perceptible hint of joy in his voice.

Luo Yi stepped forward with a smile and said, "Here I'll bring you some snacks." Then she handed the food box to him.

"Thank you, I will enjoy it."

Shi Sheng took the food box, but his eyes still stayed on Luo Yi's face, his eyes full of affection.

Luo Yi noticed his gaze, the corners of his mouth curled up, and a hint of scheming appeared in his eyes.

Then she threw him a wink.

There is a hint of charm and temptation in her eyes, and the curve at the corner of her mouth is like a crescent moon, touching the heart.

Shi Sheng's heartbeat suddenly quickened.

Luo Yi turned and left, her steps light and graceful.

Shi Sheng didn't come back to his senses until her figure disappeared around the corner of the street.

Back in the Dali Temple to work, Shi Sheng sat at his desk, brush in hand, trying to concentrate on reviewing the mountain of official documents.

But the words in front of him suddenly disappeared, and only Luo Yi's charming appearance appeared in the document.

The curve of his mouth grew wider and wider.

"Shaoqing, have you approved the official document from the day before yesterday?"

The subordinate Liu Jia lowered his head and asked.

Seeing no one responding for a while, he couldn't help but look up, only to see Shi Sheng grinning strangely.

He coughed loudly.

Liu Jia suddenly coughed, and Shi Sheng suddenly came back to his senses.

Only then did he realize that Liu Jia had been standing in front of him, looking at him with a puzzled look on his face.

Shi Sheng's eyes flashed with a trace of panic, and he maintained his usual superior attitude, but he did not read the random reply.

"You have a cold?"

A look of surprise appeared on Liu Jia's face again, and then he repeated the question.

"All right."

Shi Sheng quickly picked up a stack of documents, stood up and stuffed them into the subordinate's hand.

Liu Jia didn't catch it properly and one book fell down.

He looked up at Shi Sheng and observed his expression, then picked it up carefully.

"I'll take my leave," he said, and walked out quickly.

Shi Sheng scolded him in a low voice as he looked at his departing back, “Why are you so rash?”

After sitting back in his original seat, he picked up the document and reviewed it with a calm expression.

He looked focused and serious.

In fact, my mind was as confused as a thread, and I was silently reciting the Dharma formula in my heart.

Be pure and have few desires.

The heart is like still water.

The six senses are pure.

……

After a while, seeing that it was useless, he simply gave up.

He put down the document in his hand, opened the pastry beside him and ate it quietly.

I ate it with gusto, and my heart felt as sweet as if I had eaten honey.

His eyes were full of comfort and enjoyment.

Little did they know that at this moment, there were two figures lurking outside the door.

Liu Jia and Wu Yu, both of them are Shi Sheng's confidants.

Normally, Shi Sheng treats his duties meticulously and attentively, but today he was distracted frequently and his condition was not as good as before.

Liu Jia told his companion Wu Yu about this discovery.

The two's curiosity was instantly aroused, and they sneaked to the door of Shi Sheng's office to peek and find out what was going on.

Wu Yu looked through the crack in the door and saw Shi Sheng eating pastries with an intoxicated look on his face, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised. Even through the door, one could feel that he was in a happy mood.

Wu Yu whispered, "Shaoqing, you are experiencing a happy event, why do you keep your mouth shut after eating the cakes?"

Liu Jia narrowed his eyes and said, "Based on my many years of experience in investigating cases, Shaoqing is probably suffering from lovesickness."

Wu Yu looked surprised, "Lovesick? Shouldn't he be frowning? Why is he smiling?"

Liu Jia touched his chin, narrowed his eyes, and pretended to be in deep thought. After a moment, he thought of something and his eyes lit up.

"I guess the cake was sent by the person he missed, so he must be happy."

Wu Yu waved his hand and said in a slightly teasing tone: "You understand again."

The two were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice that every word of their conversation was heard by Shi Sheng inside the house.

When Shi Sheng heard the two people's discussion, he frowned and scolded them.

"come out!"

When Wu Yu and Liu Jia heard the scolding, they were shocked and a bitter expression instantly appeared on their faces.

They knew that their peeping had been discovered, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out the door.

The two men lowered their heads and forced a flattering smile on their faces. Wu Yu was the first to speak: "Shao Qing, what can I do for you?"

Shi Sheng looked at the two troublesome subordinates in front of him, frowned and pretended to be angry.

"I see you two are too idle, why don't you reorganize those rows of files?"

When Liu Jia and Wu Yu heard this, they immediately groaned in pain, but they did not dare to refute and could only agree obediently.

"Yes," the two said, and could only turn around dejectedly and walk towards where the files were stored.

Watching the two people leaving, Shi Sheng secretly ate another piece of cake, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed by in a hurry.

The Imperial Hospital has prepared the medicinal materials needed to induce the poison according to the secret recipe, and everything is ready.

Just wait for Xu Ruogu to come to Dali Temple to draw the poison into the Blood Evil Puppet.

At this moment, a group of people were standing in the Dali Temple prison.

Yun Zhengting, Shi Sheng, and several experienced imperial physicians stood in the aisle.

There were more than a dozen soldiers following behind him.

The prison cell holding the Blood Doom puppets was transformed into a temporary site for inducing poison.

The house was filled with all kinds of items needed to induce Gu.

In the center of the cell, a large bathtub is particularly eye-catching. It is filled with dark brown medicinal soup with a strange medicinal fragrance.

A large circle was drawn on the floor of the cell, and a layer of white lime was evenly spread on it.

In addition, there are many incense balls on the ground.

After a while, Shi Jin, Fan Hua, Xu Ruogu, and Ran Ke arrived at the prison.

Seeing this, Yun Zhengting said, "Everything is ready. Thank you for your help."

"Okay, I'll need your cooperation after I lure the poisonous insect out."

"Okay, then we'll wait outside the cell."

Ran Ke and Xu Ruogu are each responsible for a blood puppet.

In Xu Ruogu's cell, Fan Hua and Shi Jin were helping him.

Ran Ke's cell was guarded by Shi Sheng and his two subordinates, Wu Yu and Liu Jia.

Xu Ruogu looked around and then began to divide the work.

He stood outside the circle, glanced at Shi Jin and said, "Sister Jin, you are in charge of this area. When the poisonous insects enter this circle, you will set fire to them and burn them to death."

"Okay." Shi Jin responded.

Xu Ruogu turned to look at Fan Hua and said, "Brother, you are responsible for the poisonous insects outside the circle."

Fan Hua: "Okay, leave it to me, and you just focus on attracting the Gu."

Finally, Xu Ruogu looked at Yun Zhengting and said respectfully: "Master Siqing, please guard outside the cell and do not let any poisonous insect go."

Yun Zhengting nodded solemnly and said, "Just focus on attracting the Gu. We'll be outside."

After Xu Ruogu explained everything clearly, he lit up all the incense balls on the ground.

"Carry the person into the bathtub first." Xu Ruogu said.

As Xu Ruogu finished speaking, several burly soldiers carefully lifted the Blood Puppet into the bathtub and soaked its entire body in the medicinal soup.

The Blood Evil Puppet's hands, feet and mouth were all restrained, allowing it to be manipulated at will.

Xu Ruogu took off his clothes, and with a focused look, he accurately inserted silver needles into several acupuncture points on the Blood Evil Puppet.

At the same time, in another cell, Ran Ke followed suit in an orderly manner and gave acupuncture to the Blood Hate Puppet.

As time goes by, the medicine gradually takes effect.

The poisonous insect was moving wildly in the body.

Everyone held their breath and stared intently.

After a while, tiny black and gray poisonous insects crawled out of the ears and mouth of the Blood Evil Puppet.

They twisted their bodies and swam quickly on the ground. There were so many of them, so densely packed, it made one's scalp tingle.

After Xu Ruogu saw the appearance of the insect clearly, his brows furrowed.

The poisonous insect is a soul-eating insect, and it is native to the Southern Frontier Kingdom.

There are relevant ancient records that the wizards of Southern Xinjiang are good at raising various kinds of poisonous insects and using them to manipulate people's hearts.

"Everyone must be careful and don't let the poisonous insects get close to you." Xu Ruogu shouted loudly.

The poisonous insect on the ground wanted to escape in all directions, but when it touched the incense ball on the ground, it suddenly changed its route and crawled towards the lime circle.

Seeing the poisonous insects crawling into the circle, Shi Jin immediately set fire to the lime.

A raging fire rose up, burning a large number of poisonous insects to death.

When Fan Hua saw Gu escaping from the circle, he immediately picked up a torch and burned it to death with quick and decisive movements.

Several imperial doctors outside the cell who did not practice martial arts stepped back in astonishment, their eyes filled with fear.

More than a dozen soldiers looked solemn as they protected Yun Zhengting behind them, holding weapons and ready for battle.

Some of them held long knives, and with a flash of their knives, they killed the poisonous insects that escaped from the cells one by one.

Some of them used special insect nets to catch them and then threw them into the brazier to kill them.

Ran Ke was slower than Xu Ruogu in attracting the Gu, but he also succeeded.

With everyone's tacit cooperation, all the poisonous insects that escaped from the body were eliminated.

After the poisonous insects left the bodies of the two Blood Evil puppets, they suddenly calmed down and no longer behaved wildly and bit people.

His expression gradually returned to normal, like that of a normal person.

Several imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau witnessed Xu Ruogu's superb medical skills with their own eyes and were amazed.

The slender Wang Imperial Physician said in surprise, "It actually healed me."

Han Imperial Physician, who was slightly plump, said with a happy expression, "That's great."

Chen, the experienced imperial physician, had a gleam of surprise and appreciation in his eyes.

"At such a young age, he has such medical skills. His future is limitless!"

After saying this, Imperial Physician Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Their imperial doctors had been unable to find out the cause of the disease for several days, yet they were outdone by a ten-year-old child.

With this child's talent and potential, he will surely become a great man in the future.

If he could be recruited into the Imperial Medical Service, it would undoubtedly be a great blessing for the hospital and the entire court.

Seeing that they no longer showed any signs of aggression, they removed the shackles from the two men and moved them to a side room.

Xu Ruogu sat beside the bed, taking his pulse, his face solemn.

He thought of detoxifying them after luring the poisonous insects out of their bodies.

Little did they know that their poison had penetrated deep into their internal organs, and that there was no way to save them.

"The poison in their bodies is a soul-eating insect that can control a person's behavior, making them cruel and bloodthirsty, and eat human flesh. Although the insect has been lured out, there is still toxin in their bodies, and the poison has penetrated deep into their lungs."

Several imperial doctors turned pale when they heard this and took turns to feel his pulse.

After the diagnosis results came out, everyone shook their heads and sighed.

Doctor Chen: "Although the poisonous insects have been drawn out, they only have a month to live."

Imperial Physician Han saw the few black lines left on their hands and asked in confusion, "What are these black lines?"

Xu Ruogu hesitated for a moment and said, "It's probably caused by poisoning."

Wang Imperial Physician: "Do you know what poison they were poisoned with?"

"It's still unknown." Xu Ruogu shook his head, looking depressed.

Seeing this, Ran Ke patted his shoulder gently and comforted him: "We have tried our best. This may be the best result."

Afterwards, Imperial Physician Chen stepped forward and said to Xu Ruogu with a smile on his face: "I heard that you are the grandson of Old Master Xu and have inherited his legacy. It is indeed true that you are worthy of your reputation. Would you like to join the Imperial Hospital and study medicine with us and treat difficult and complicated diseases in the future? What do you think?"

Xu Ruogu was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he saluted and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, but I have no intention of pursuing a career in politics. I just want to travel the world like my grandfather and heal more people."

Chen Yuyi was a little regretful: "It is rare for a young friend to have such ambitions."
