Fortunately, although the Guozijian incident was a big one, Shen Rong's resignation from Songqing Lake was not revealed to Concubine Jin.

At the dinner table, she sighed a bit: "Fortunately, you asked for leave today and didn't go. It was a false alarm..."

Shen Rongci naturally didn't dare to tell her that he was sitting next to Gu Chiyuan at that time, and he put the grass snake in it himself.

After seeing Concubine Jin off, Shen Rongci asked the system to install a plate of soufflé cheese and a pot of milk tea, and the two sneaked away to Chonghua Hall through the back door.

The system interrogated him for a whole day, but the assassin still refused to recruit anything.But Shen Rongci didn't care about it anymore.

He was more concerned about why the system said that Gu Chiyuan would not be bitten to death by a poisonous snake.

"Ah, what are you talking about..." The system obviously didn't want to bring this up, with a hesitant look on its face.

But after all, it was his own host's request, and Shen Rongci had already sensed something was wrong and asked himself, so he had to answer.

He considered his words and thought for a long time before opening his mouth: "Actually, the emperor has not been in good health."

Shen Rongci was puzzled: "What does this have to do with the emperor?"

The two walked side by side on the narrow palace road, and the stone road under the moonlight looked extraordinarily clear, with a watery luster.The black branches protruding from the palace wall swayed slightly, casting whirling shadows on the system's face, making his face flickering.

"Two years ago, an old Taoist priest came to the palace. The Taoist priest said that if the emperor wants to live a hundred years, he must make sacrifices. The so-called sacrifice is to take the blood of the flesh and blood of the closest relatives, and it must be from the most powerful to the sun." The boy's blood will do."

Shen Rongci vaguely guessed something, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Choose and choose, naturally it is Gu Chiyuan, the most suitable." The system sighed, "Actually, there is no description of this paragraph in the original work, so it is normal for the host to be unclear. The reason why Gu Chiyuan was bitten by a poisonous snake is also He won't die because he will be baptized by a poisonous snake every month. Only in this way can the blood on his body be useful to the emperor's condition, and it was also at that time that the male protagonist's body gradually weakened and became sickly. look...Of course, because of this, Gu Chiyuan himself has a certain degree of immunity to toxins."

Shen Rongci was speechless for a long time after hearing this.

Tiger poison still does not eat seeds.

At this moment, all the previous fragments finally connected into one line, fully displayed in front of Shen Rongci.He also seemed to understand why Gu Chiyuan would suddenly embarrass Yang Si, who had nothing to do with him, after he left De'an Hall that day.

Think about it, he is just an 11-year-old child, whose biological mother was ruined and ordered to commit suicide, and his biological father was willing to exchange his life for his own for his own longevity.

Think about it, being thrown into a pile of poisonous snakes, being eaten by sharp fangs, but nowhere to cry, nowhere to sue, because he knows in his heart that no one will rescue him...

How desperate should he be?

And beside him, apart from his biological sister, there is no one who is close and confidant.There is also a vicious queen and the second prince who despised him in the Chonghua Palace. No one will relieve him of his suffering. How uncomfortable it must be for him to suffer alone?

If his mind is not firmer, he may have grown crooked and become a murderer who disregards human life.

At this moment, Shen Rongci finally understood a little bit, Gu Chiyuan's madness and uncertainty.

"The last time the host was poisoned, Gu Chiyuan dripped blood on the wound, but he actually had the mentality of detoxification. But this time, Gu Chiyuan actually vomited blood. The toxin must not be formed by nature... The poisonous snake is probably Gu poison that was bred artificially."

Shen Rongci's expression froze: "You mean, that snake was probably cultivated by someone deliberately targeting Gu Chiyuan, and put it in his schoolbag on purpose?"

And it must have been after he put the straw snake into the book bag, otherwise he would have discovered the anomaly before it happened.

After Shen Rongci appeared in Zangshu Pavilion, only the sixth prince and the second prince had the chance.

These two people, if you insist on it, actually have the possibility of committing crimes...

Shen Rongci rubbed his eyebrows.

He originally wove snakes out of grass, just thinking that he could scare Gu Chiyuan a little bit, with the idea of ​​getting away with it; whoever imagined it, gave those who intend to hurt Gu Chiyuan a chance.

"By the way, the system, is my mission completed this time?"

Shen Rongci was so focused on Gu Chiyuan's problem that he almost forgot about it.

The antidote rewarded by the last mission happened to be helpful to Gu Chiyuan, so is it possible to reward something better this time?

The best thing is something that can help Gu Chiyuan get out of the sea of ​​suffering immediately, something that can completely get rid of such a dark fate.

He didn't want to watch Gu Chi Yuan fall into the abyss step by step.Even... Even if it is for the future of the world, the world needs a wise king, if Gu Chiyuan is infected with a cruel heart from the bottom of his heart, then the world will eventually usher in the most cruel tyrant.

The system shook his head: "Not yet. But I feel that it's not because the host changed the customs clearance method, but the final result was biased, so the host did not judge the mission as successful."

Final Results?

Shen Rongci couldn't help recalling the original plot.In the plot, the original owner put a poisonous snake into Gu Chiyuan's book bag, but Gu Chiyuan was only scared by him and was not poisoned.

"You mean, as long as the poison in Gu Chiyuan's body is completely discharged, the task can be completed?" Shen Rongci asked.

The system nodded: "It's very likely."

Shen Rongci immediately quickened his pace, wanting to see Gu Chiyuan sooner and see how he was doing.

Now he dare not say he is familiar with Chonghua Palace, but he is already familiar with the road to Gu Chiyuan's small ruined courtyard.When he left just now, Linlin also told him the way to the back door, which made it easier for Shen Rongci to sneak in.

Unexpectedly, he just got into the back door, and after turning another corner, he could reach Gu Chiyuan's courtyard, and a bottle cork was smashed on top of his head.

Shen Rongci looked up: "Master?"

Ling Ke was sitting on the wall, propping her chin with one hand and holding her inseparable wine gourd with the other, looking at Shen Rongci leisurely.

Shen Rongci slapped his head.There are too many things today, and I have forgotten the secret training every night.

I didn't expect Master to find here...

Shen Rongci immediately put on a cute expression, and said apologetically, "Master, I have something to do today, can we wait a little later?"

Ling Ke raised her head and drank the strong wine in the gourd, casually tossed her long hair behind her chest, said "Come with me", then turned and went behind the wall.

On the other side of this wall is Gu Chiyuan's small courtyard.

Shen Rongci and the system looked at each other, and quickly followed in. Ling Ke didn't wait for them, and strode directly into Gu Chiyuan's room.

Linlin obviously didn't know Ling Ke, and she was obediently holding her knees by Gu Chiyuan's bed, but when she saw a stranger coming in, she immediately stood up in a daze, and asked timidly, "Who are you?"

Ling Ke ignored her, walked straight to the bed, and lowered her head to examine the sleeping Gu Chiyuan's complexion.

As soon as Shen Rongci entered the door, Linlin threw himself into his arms.

He comforted the little girl softly: "It's okay, this elder sister is an acquaintance of Brother Shen, she will not harm your brother."

Linlin hid in Shen Rongci's arms without making a sound, but looked at Ling Ke warily.

She subconsciously doesn't like this woman.

Shen Rongci did not notice Linlin's little emotions.He saw Ling Ke put his hand on Gu Chiyuan's pulse.

By the way, doesn't Master like raising snakes?Will she know something about the snake venom that Gu Chiyuan poisoned?

He asked Lin Lin and the system to eat soufflé outside the house first, and after closing the door, he walked to Ling Ke and asked in a low voice, "Master, what can you see? Can this snake's venom be cured?"

Gu Chiyuan on the bed did not sleep soundly, his complexion was sallow, his head was covered with fine beads of sweat, as if he was trying to break free in a dream, his hands were twitching unconsciously.

Unexpectedly, Shen Rongci was stunned by Ling Ke's words.

She said in a deep voice: "The snake venom in the fifth prince's body has been detoxified, and what remains in his blood now is another chronic poison."

"Chronic poison?"

Shen Rongci was taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

"Literally." Ling Ke said coldly, "The fifth prince's daily necessities of life have been tampered with, and poisoned quietly. The dose of this kind of poison is small, and it will not be noticed on weekdays. Over the years, it will damage the body. Hollowed out. Now being stimulated by the venom of the poisonous snake, the two collide, triggering the poison in advance."

Shen Rongci was shocked - how could someone use such vicious means to deal with a child?

However, before Shen Rongci could say anything, Ling Ke reached out and ripped off Gu Chiyuan's shirt.

Shen Rongci covered his mouth.

I saw that the skin below Gu Chiyuan's neck was not intact.The almost transparent white skin was riddled with holes, densely packed with overlapping holes and shocking bruises.

On the skinny chest, scabs had formed in some places, before healed, they were torn apart by new wounds, criss-crossing, festering his skin until it looked ugly.

These... are all sacrifices made for the sake of his emperor's father for thousands of years.

However, Ling Ke seemed to understand the strangeness, her complexion remained unchanged, and after carefully inspecting the wounds on his body, she turned to pull Gu Chiyuan's other arm, revealing the fresh knife on his wrist scar.

This scar is much clearer than those overlapping snake teeth holes.I saw a strange dark blue color under the newly grown skin around the scar.

"Someone tampered with his clothes, and the poison seeped in from his unhealed wounds. These clothes can no longer be worn, so they were burned."

Ling Ke quickly took off Gu Chiyuan's clothes and threw them on the ground.

Immediately, he turned to Shen Rongci and asked, "Did you detoxify his snake venom today?"

Shen Rongci hesitated, wondering if he should tell his master that he had Da Luo Jiu Zhuan San in his hand.

Ling Ke saw his worries, and had already reached a conclusion in her heart, so she didn't force him to admit it, but said: "If you have a good antidote, you can apply it on his wound. I have something else to do, first Let's go, the Fifth Prince will entrust you."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Shen Rongci to answer, she quickly left here.

By the time Shen Rongci chased her out, her figure had already disappeared into the night.
