Chapter 1101: Ferocious Little Gu!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Old Cui, come and take a look!” Yu Wan whispered to Old Cui as she stared at Han Jingshu’s face.

“What’s wrong?” Old Cui came over.

The moment he saw Han Jingshu’s face clearly, he felt that something was wrong. “What Gu was she poisoned with? Why does it look like she was poisoned? Was she really poisoned?”

The two of them knew that Jun Chang’an was a martial arts expert with extremely good hearing. When he spoke, he lowered his voice to the lowest.

Yu Wan said, “It’s a Gu, I’m sure of that. But this Gu is different from the Gu we’ve seen in the past.”

Just as Old Cui had said, it was more like she had been poisoned.

Ordinary Gu would have its own special effects. For example, the effect of the Love Gu was to bewitch one’s mind. The effect of the Mute Gu was to make one temporarily speechless, but there was often a saying among the people of Nanzhao that one should not provoke the people of Southern Xinjiang. They could even poison children. They did not even know when they had been poisoned!

Although these words were a little exaggerated, it also indirectly explained a phenomenon. After being poisoned by a Gu, there was usually not much abnormality on the surface. Wouldn’t it be very obvious if one had dark foreheads, purple lips and black nails?

“Hiss… That’s right.” Old Cui took a weak breath. He rolled up her sleeves, unbuttoned her shirt, and looked at her body. At his level, he only had eyes for patients. There was no difference between men and women. After he finished checking, he seemed to understand how the imperial physician had diagnosed her. “Just by looking at her face and nails, ordinary doctors would suspect that she was poisoned, and even her pulse is very similar. However, there’s a very obvious difference between being poisoned and being poisoned by Gu. There won’t be a Gu line on her body.”

It was because when the Gu worm swam in her body, it caused her blood to clot and reacted to her skin. From this, it could be seen that the doctors of the Imperial Hospital still had some skills.

Yu Wan released the little Gu and said to it, “Can you catch her Gu?”

Little Gu nodded. Soon, Little Gu shook its head again. The two of them looked at it in confusion. It fell in Yu Wan’s palm and grabbed its neck with its claws, making a posture of dying.

“Uh… what does it mean?” Old Cui was at a loss.

Yu Wan said, “It wants to tell us that after that Gu is caught, Han Jingshu will also die.” Yu Wan frowned. “If only Ah Wei was here. He would definitely know what Gu this is and how to cure it.”

At this moment, Yu Wan really missed Ah Wei. Although she could control Gu, it was not because of her superb Gu technique, but purely because she had the Little Gu as a cheat.

Old Cui frowned. “If that’s the case… then there’s only one way.”

“What way?” Yu Wan asked.

Old Cui said seriously, “Kill the person who planted the Gu! If he dies, the Gu he planted will naturally be cured.”

“There’s such a thing?” Yu Wan had experienced many Gu along the way, but because they were not as powerful as Little Gu and could be easily resolved, they did not go to the point of fighting to the death with the person who poisoned her.

“I heard it from Qiu Bing by accident!” Old Cui had a good relationship with

Grandma. Grandma liked to listen to him talk about opera. In exchange, Grandma would teach him some general knowledge about sorcery, including killing Gu Masters.

Since Grandma said so, it must be true.

But… where were they going to find the culprit?

Yu Wan muttered, “The capital is so big. Where’s the culprit?”

Old Cui reminded, “She only has less than ten hours left. If we don’t kill the Gu Master at dawn, even the heavens won’t be able to save her.” “Squeak squeak squeak!” Little Gu jumped up with its claws! Yu Wan looked at it and said, “You know how to find the person?”

Little Gu nodded!

“But how can I explain this to Jun Chang’an?”

To be honest, your Crown Princess Consort’s Gu had to be cured by killing the culprit. What? You don’t know where the culprit is? It’s fine, I know!

How did I know?

Because my Little Gu is capable!

Where did the Little Gu come from?

Won’t she still expose her trump card?

Actually, just the holy artifact of Nanzhao alone might not make people think of Yan Jiuchao’s medicinal primer. After all, Yan Jiuchao’s medicinal primer was the Queen of Gu, not the Little Gu. However, Yu Wan could not explain why. She had a dangerous intuition: It was best not to expose the Little Gu!

At this moment, Yu Wan still did not know how right her decision was. The

Little Gu was the King of Ten Thousand Gu. When she arrived in the Nether Capital, she realized that it was actually the body of the Gu Emperor. However, until now, no one knew that Little Gu was not a simple Gu Emperor body.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Little Gu could not sit still anymore and jumped around on the floor! Was Yu Wan the only one who had nothing to do recently? It was the same! It was lonely without a fight!

Yu Wan held her forehead. “Alright, alright, I’ll bring you there later. Stop fooling around! If others discover your existence, I won’t want you anymore!”

Little Gu instantly became obedient. What’s even more terrifying than being captured is that I don’t want you anymore. If it was captured, it could escape by itself, but if Yu Wan didn’t want it, it would have no home.

Little Gu lowered its head aggrievedly.

Yu Wan said to Old Cui, “We can’t let Jun Chang’an know about this.”

Old Cui nodded and agreed with Yu Wan’s actions. Although he always complained about Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao and wished he had never known them, when it really concerned their safety, Old Cui became an existence like Grandma.

In fact, when Grandma was not around, he had to protect these two children. “Wait.” Old Cui’s hand that was holding Han Jingshu’s wrist paused.

“What’s wrong?” Yu Wan asked.

“She’s pregnant,” Old Cui said.

“Huh?” Yu Wan was stunned. She hurriedly took Han Jingshu’s wrist from Old Cui and carefully took her pulse. “She’s really pregnant.”

However, it was suppressed by the Gu poison and was too weak. It appeared and disappeared, causing them to almost not let it out.

“So, these are two lives.” Yu Wan sighed. She was also a mother. How could she really bear to watch Han Jingshu lose two lives in front of her?

“Are you confident?” Old Cui asked.

“Yes,” Yu Wan said. She was confident that she could find or kill the culprit. “I’m the strongest Saintess!” she said.

Old Cui, who couldn’t bear to expose her: “…”

“Alright, act according to my signal later,” Old Cui said as he walked forward and opened the door.

Jun Chang’an turned around, his eyes anxious. “How is it?”

Old Cui said, “The situation is complicated. She’s pregnant.”

Jun Chang’an was stunned!

Old Cui continued, “That’s why we can’t cure her for the time being. I have to protect her fetus first. I’ll give you a prescription. Go get the medicine. Remember, you have to catch it yourself. I don’t trust others. Also, give me an empty courtyard. I’ll rest for a while. I’m afraid I’ll be busy tonight.”

This change was unexpected. No one expected Han Jingshu to be pregnant. Did Han Jingshu know?

According to the original plan, Yu Wan could leave on the spot after curing Han Jingshu. There was no need for her to really stay here. However, at this moment, the courtyard that was used as a prop was actually used by a freak combination of factors.

Old Cui prescribed a prescription, and Jun Chang’an went to get the medicine. Before he left, he instructed Lu’er to settle Old Cui in the courtyard next door.

Old Cui was not a criminal, so there were naturally no guards watching him. There were only a few old women and maidservants on duty in the courtyard, so it was not difficult to avoid these people’s eyes and ears.

“Wait for me here,” Yu Wan said.

“Are you sure you don’t want me to go with you?” Old Cui asked.

Yu Wan clicked her tongue and said, “If we’re both gone, what are you going to say later? I’m a maidservant. No one will care if they can’t see me. You just have to guarantee that you can stroll under their noses from time to time.”

Old Cui wanted to follow, but he felt that what she said made sense. “Got it. Come back quickly. Don’t force yourself. Shadow Six will meet you outside the manor.”

Yu Wan felt that she most likely did not need Shadow Six because from the excitement of the Little Gu, the culprit who planted the Gu should not be far away. It was very likely in the manor!

Yu Wan avoided the servants’ gazes and slipped out of the courtyard. She

released the Little Gu. Now, the Little Gu could already restrain its aura very well. When it didn’t attack, it was no different from ordinary insects.

“Where is he?” Yu Wan asked.

Little Gu pointed to the east.

Yu Wan followed it east. That was where the Full Moon Pavilion was, but there was more than one house there. All the advisors of the Crown Prince Manor lived in that direction. Yu Wan even needed to walk past the other people’s houses to reach the Full Moon Pavilion in the deepest depths.

In that case, wouldn’t it be easy to be discovered if she went?

Little Gu patted its chest considerately, indicating that it could kill him itself! Yu Wan narrowed her eyes. “I’m afraid you want to go in and kill all you want, right?”

Little Gu: Sob-

It had been seen through.

Yu Wan gasped. It was such a cute worm. But why was it so ferocious?

Of course, Yu Wan could not let it kill so much. Putting aside whether they should kill that group of people or not, if they killed all of them, would they be able to leave the manor safely? There was a risk of being exposed even if they killed one, okay?

However, human lives were at stake. They had to kill that person!

Yu Wan said seriously, “You’re only allowed to kill one. That’s the person who planted the Gu. You’re not allowed to touch anything else!”

Little Gu stretched out three small claws. Three.

Yu Wan:

Was this guy… negotiating with her?

“One!” Yu Wan said solemnly.

Little Gu returned a small claw.

Two.

Yu Wan:

Why do I suddenly want to strangle you to death!
