The Four Concubines

"Yun Xiao, are you awake?"

"how do you feel?"

"well enough."

……

Xiao Chuo and the others asked aloud, Yun Xiao smiled with difficulty, "It's all right."

The eldest grandson Wugou didn't speak, but tightly held Yun Xiao's hand, as if she would disappear in the next second.

"I'm fine." Yun Xiao said softly, tightly holding Changsun Wugou's hand.

Changsun Wugou bit his lips lightly, suppressing the anger and distress in his heart.

"You are Zhou Si, right?" Yun Xiao turned her gaze to the stranger beside her.

Zhou Si lowered her head slightly.

"It really looks good." Yun Xiao's tone was weak and light.

"At first, I wanted to find an excuse to see what the other party was going to do, but I didn't expect that it would become a prophecy, and if I said I was sick, I would be sick." Yun Xiao didn't mind revealing her old background at all.

"You are very powerful, and you are still sober." Zhou Si said.

"Are you praising me?" Yun Xiao hooked her lips, "You don't want to be a holy girl in Pinglang, and you come all the way to Daqin, and enter this Longtan and Tiger's den, just to work for Wufeng?" No. [-] brought back According to the news, the saint's status in Pinglang is very high.

"I can't help it." Zhou Si replied blankly.

On the other side, Chen Wei, who had heard the name Wufeng before, told Xiao and Luo what happened in Guangxia before.

"The whole world is a game." Xiao Chuo said coldly.

"When did you cast this Gu?" Luo Shui, who had been silent all this time, asked suddenly.

"If I say that I didn't plant the Gu, would you believe me? All I know is that Emperor Qin will summon me within three days. I don't know Wufeng's arrangement for this side. Even the Gu on her body was just released I only found out after I got my pulse." Maybe Zhou Si was amazed by the previous glance, and Zhou Si's answer to Luoshui's question would be longer and more specific.

"It's not you?" Xiao Chuo's face turned ugly. Didn't everything the other party did before was to send Zhou Si to the palace, but now Zhou Si said that she was also a false spear, the one who threw back arrows, and someone else others.

"What's going on between you and Wu Feng." Luo Shui continued to ask.

Yun Xiao raised her eyes and glanced at Luo Shui.

"I'm an orphan. After I was picked up by Wu Feng, I was trained to learn medicine and Gu skills because of my good looks. Later, the person who was originally designated as a saint escaped on the day of succession, so I was temporarily promoted. become a saint."

"Is your saintess selection so casual?" Chen Wei couldn't help complaining.

Zhou Si nodded seriously, "Well, anyone who knows Gu skills and looks good can be a saint."

"Why do you have to be good-looking?" Chen Wei was puzzled.

"Because the holy girl wants to sacrifice to the snake god, and the snake god likes beautiful women." Zhou Si just said.

"What? Is this true?" Number Seven asked suddenly.After finishing speaking, he realized that he had violated the rules, and quickly lowered his head again.

"Snake God will talk about it later." Xiao Chuo interrupted the topic, "Can you control the Gu in Yunxiao's body?"

"Well, theoretically yes." Zhou Si resumed the brief words just now.

Regarding Zhou Si's different treatment, Xiao Chuo frowned slightly, "On what conditions are you willing to save Yun Xiao?" She couldn't believe that this man came from a long distance to be a volunteer.

"Let me stay in Daqin, in the palace." Zhou Si replied.

"Your theoretical method of controlling Gu doesn't seem to be acceptable." Luo Shui said again suddenly.

Zhou Si glanced at Luoshui in surprise, "Do you know what I'm going to do?"

Luo Shui just smiled and said nothing.

"What method." The eldest grandson Wugou who had been silent all this time finally spoke.

Zhou Si glanced at her eldest grandson Wugou and Yun Xiao beside her, "Using Gu to stop Gu, although it cannot be removed, it can guarantee her continued life."

"What do you mean?" Changsun Wugou felt that Zhou Si's "survive" might not be the result she wanted.

"Seven-day Gu is to make the victim unable to distinguish between reality and dream, coupled with mental exhaustion, tortured to death, if you want to relieve it, you can only use Gu to paralyze her when she is asleep, so that her spirit can be temporarily Take a break, but this paralysis process is very painful." Zhou Si explained.

"How painful." Changsun Wugou asked.

"It feels like a thousand needles being driven into the brain at the same time." Zhou Si didn't hide it either.

"no!"

"no!"

"No!"

The eldest grandson Wugou, Xiao Chuo and Chen Wei spoke at the same time.

According to Zhou Si's statement, Yun Xiao couldn't hold on at all!

"That Gu..."

"Luo Shui!"

Luo Shui wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yun Xiao. This was the first time she called Luo Shui's name.

Yun Xiao's tone was very serious, and the people present were a little puzzled.

"You asked a lot today." Yun Xiao pointedly.

Xiao Chuo frowned indistinctly.

Luo Shui's face darkened, "It's better for you to use your brain less." She understood that Yun Xiao was thinking of her, and her status could not interfere too much, so she only guided and questioned Yun Xiao, and did not directly help Yun Xiao.

Panting heavily, Yun Xiao looked at Zhou Si and said, "I believe you, you didn't lay that Gu on me."

Zhou Si raised her eyes and looked at Yun Xiao again, but said nothing.

"Will that Gu attack immediately after entering the human body?" Yun Xiao asked again.

Zhou Si's expression turned slightly condensed, and she shook her head, "No, every seven-day Gu has a medicine that suppresses it blindly, but only Wufeng knows the specifics. It was raised by him."

"Oh? Each seven-day Gu needs different medicines to suppress it?" Yun Xiao then asked.

"Yes." Zhou Si nodded affirmatively.

"What are the special conditions for this Gu to enter the human body?" Luo Shui interjected.

Zhou Si looked at Luoshui with a slight change of expression.

"It must pass through that person's bleeding wound." Yun Xiao continued.

Zhou Si's face was serious, and she turned her gaze to Yun Xiao again. Looking at Yun Xiao's smiling face, she nodded slowly. The seven-day Gu is different from other Gu insects, and must be lured into the body by blood.

It's just that Luo Shui has been guiding her to answer key questions since the very beginning, and now the emperor has guessed the conditions for Gu worms to enter his body...

Are women in Daqin so scary?

"Do you know who put the Gu on you?" Changsun Wugou reacted quickly, since Yun Xiao had verified the method, he must know who put the Gu on her.

Yun Xiao nodded without hiding.

"Who is it?" Changsun Wugou, Xiao Chuo and Chen Wei asked at the same time.

Yun Xiao looked at Luo Shui, and said without thinking, "Help me later."

Luo Shui snorted softly, "I'm going to be used again at this time." That's what he said, but he still nodded in agreement.

"Who is it?" Changsun Wugou asked in a deep voice.

Yun Xiao was silent, as if she was a little tired, without explaining, she just said, "I can grasp the time when Zhou Si enters the palace, know the layout of the palace, understand medicine, understand Gu, and be able to touch my wound..."

Chen Gui reacted the fastest, and when Yun Xiao said "understanding Gu", he locked his eyes on No. [-]!

Xiao Chuo and Changsun Wugou reacted a bit slowly, but they guessed who it was right away.

Someone in the dark guard wanted to speak out, but No. [-] stopped him and nodded.

Yun Xiao turned to No. [-], and said something even more unbelievable, "You are the Pinglang saint who escaped, right?"

No. [-]'s expression froze, his eyes sank in the next second, and he raised his hand as if he wanted to grab something. No. [-] reacted quickly and stepped forward, but he was not as fast as Luo Shui.

Luo Shui gently raised his hand, and No. [-]'s whole body floated in the air uncontrollably.

On the [-]st, thinking of Yun Xiao's words just now, she turned her head to look at Luoshui with a face of shock. This Concubine Xian, who is so inconspicuous, turned out to be such a master.

As Luo Shui gently put down the raised hand, No. [-] also fell to the ground slowly, and the whole person fell to the ground, unable to move. No. [-] stepped forward to search for the thing No. [-] wanted to take out just now.

Yun Xiao glanced at the two balls found by No. [-], "You were the one who helped Pang Huaibing escape in the hall that year, right?"

"When did you start to doubt me?" Number Seven asked Yun Xiao blankly.

"Before a cup of tea." Yun Xiao said.

"You are really scary." Number Seven said in a deep voice.

"It's just for self-protection." Yun Xiao said with a smile.

"Wu Feng arranged for you to escape back then?" Xiao Chuo asked after he had figured out what had happened.

No. [-] put her eyes on Zhou Si, and the temperature flashed in her eyes for a moment, "My mother is the saint of the previous generation..."

"Impossible! Saintesses are not allowed to conceive and have children." Zhou Si was shocked.

"Your father is Wufeng?" Yun Xiao asked in surprise.

"You know a lot." Number Seven seemed to be used to Yun Xiao knowing so many things, and said in a flat tone.

"I guessed it." Yun Xiao told the truth, she asked No. [-] to send someone to Pinglang, mainly investigating Zhou Si, and she didn't know anything about No. [-].

Number Seven looked at Zhou Si and continued, "My mother told me about this after I left Pinglang. My mother said that the life of the saint was too miserable, but she was powerless to change, and she didn't want me to follow in her footsteps. I had no choice but to take me away, I always thought she was making excuses, and taking me away was revenge for her failed love."

"I didn't expect what she said to be true..." No. [-] looked lonely.

"Then how did Wufeng get in touch with you?" Xiao Chuo asked.

"Shortly after my mother and I left Pipinglang, my mother died of illness. I was selected by the previous generation No. [-] and received training to become a new hidden guard. Later, I found someone using Gu in the palace. After tracing it down, I found a palace maid. , After several exchanges, we got in touch with that side." No. [-] replied.

"Why didn't you tell your father my identity?" Yun Xiao asked.This is also the point she doesn't understand the most. If No. [-] tells Wu Feng her identity, the current Daqin must be full of gunpowder.

"I didn't find an opportunity to spread the news." Seven glanced away.

The eldest grandson Wugou glanced at No. [-] indiscriminately.

"I have another question." Yun Xiao's tone was very light, looking weak, "When did the Gu be planted?"

"Guangxia." No. [-] just said.

Yun Xiao understood that she was slightly injured when she went to rescue Chen Yu, and No. [-] played Gu when she bandaged her.

"Okay. I have no problem." Yun Xiao said.

No. [-] looked at Yun Xiao in disbelief, "Don't you ask me about the medicine that suppresses Seven-day Gu?"

"It's sulfur." ​​Yun Xiao gave the answer with a smile.

Seven was stunned.

"Are you wondering how I know?" Yun Xiao said, "At that time in the Guangxia Royal Court, I was standing at the closest place to the Royal Court, and I inhaled the most smoke. I was holding my breath and coughing, but I didn't feel anything."

"I think it's because there is something in my body that helps me resist it. Since the Gu was buried in Guangxia, it makes sense."

Number Seven was silent and kept silent.

"Go get the brimstone." Changsun Wugou told No. [-], then turned his head to look at Zhou Si, and said uncompromisingly, "I agree to your request, but you must cure Yunxiao."

Zhou Si nodded, "With the method of restraint, I can try to relieve Gu."

"Yun Xiao!" Xiao Chuo shouted suddenly.

The eldest grandson Wugou was startled, looked down, it was just a free time, Yun Xiao fell asleep again.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

No. [-]'s performance was actually not so obvious, the more prominent one was the time when Chen Wei fainted, and he handled it very well. When he returned to the palace, the imperial doctors also saw that Chen Wei had Gu on his body, but the removal plan had to go back. Discuss and deliberate, and number seven seems to be at hand. It is very reliable to say that it can be removed when you go back. This is not a problem of high medical skills, but a problem of specialization.

In my impression, it seems that No. [-] is from Pinglang. I remember there was such a sentence, or maybe I deleted it. Well, I also used "No. [-]" to improve some of the previous plots, like the hall Pang Huaibing, who was rescued, escaped from an imperial city under martial law, and he had been inhaling sulfur dioxide for so long in Guangxia.

As for the seven-day Gu, there is actually another setting. I just thought about it and deleted it. Judging from the setting of this Gu, it is actually a kind of hallucinogen. Sulfur can kill insects. Gu, they are generally Gu insects, and it is just right to use sulfur to suppress the insects.

Well, that's all for today.
