Lan Xin followed in and said, “My master was also poisoned by the Gu when he was young. If Miss Ruoyi’s life is hanging by a thread, why not let my master take a look at her?”


  Old Madam Qiao nodded and said to Zheng Xiao, “Now we can only treat it as a last resort.”


  Xie Yun walked forward and looked at the black lines on Qiao Ruoyi’s fingernails. He asked Yan Yu who was beside him, “When did the blood lines on your miss’s fingernails start to appear?”


  Yan Yu said, “It’s been four years. At the beginning, it was only superficial and there was only one finger. After seeing the imperial physician, I thought it was because miss was under too much pressure in the imperial court. In these two years, it gradually increased.

  There was nothing else, so I used flower juice to dye my fingernails. The Big Red Dan Kou covered the blood lines on my fingernails.”


  Lan Xin said from the side, “Four years ago? Master, could it be that on that day, the GU poison on your body ran into Miss Qiao’s body?”


  Xie Yun frowned. That day, after Qiao Ruoyi got out of the water, there were wounds on her body, and they were so intimate. Perhaps the GU worm had really entered Qiao Ruoyi’s body at that time.

  Xie Yun said to Yan Yu at the side, “Go and get a bowl.”


  Yan Yu placed a white porcelain bowl in front of Xie Yun. Xie Yun cut open his own hand and dripped the blood into the bowl. Then, he passed the blood in the bowl to Yan Yu and let Yan Yu serve Qiao Ruoyi to drink it.

  After Qiao Ruoyi drank the blood in Xie Yun’s hand, she slowly woke up. The imperial physicians at the side were all amazed. A person who was about to die could actually wake up after using the blood.

  Old Madam Qiao held her walking stick and asked Xie Yun, “What’s going on? If she was poisoned four years ago according to what you said, why did the poison take effect at this time?”


  Xie Yun said, “The poison I was poisoned with was the ice silkworm Gu, a hundred-year poison gu passed down from the Xie family’s ancestors. The second branch, in order to get the Xie family’s property, poisoned me when I was young.”


  Old Madam Qiao had never heard of a Gu like the ice silkworm gu, “Isn’t this the Miao region’s Gu?”


  Xie Yun slowly explained, “In the three hundred years since the founding of the Western Liang Kingdom, the Miao region has been in constant warfare, and the southwest has never settled down. There are many gu worms that have long been lost in the Miao region.

  Back then, there was an ancestor who liked gu worms. After collecting some Gu worms that had not died for thousands of years, he ordered people to keep them.

  The ice silkworm Gu was a kind of poisonous worm on the Tianshan Mountain. It was extremely precious and only appeared once every ten thousand years. Usually, it needed to be kept in an ice box made of thousand-year-old ice, and its toxicity was very strong.

  “Back then, after I was poisoned, the medicine stone did not work. I met a Divine Doctor Who gave me the fire lotus grass, which could suppress the ice silkworm gu once every ten thousand years. That was how I was able to suppress the poison of the ice silkworm Gu.

  “I once asked the Miao Jiang tribe leader to remove the ice silkworm gu left in my body. They said that they had no way to remove the king of the GU that had existed for hundreds of years. However, they probed the GU worm in my body and said that the fire lotus had already fused into my bloodline, “The ice silkworm gu was useless even in my body.

  “They searched through several ancient books and found that if the ice silkworm gu found a new host, the host would coincidentally have a wound on his body. Perhaps he would leave my body by himself. I just didn’t think that it would end up in Miss Qiao Wu’s body.”


  Old Madam Qiao asked, “Then why is the poison acting up now?”


  Xie Yun said, “The ice silkworm Gu has been suppressed by the Fire Lotus in my body for a long time, so its poison is naturally not as strong as before. This time, it is probably because Miss Qiao is too sad and is not feeling well, which caused the ice silkworm gu to act up.”


  Zheng Xiao asked anxiously, “Then is there still a fire lotus?”


  Xie Yun shook her head and said, “I don’t know where that fire lotus came from. Moreover, that Holy Doctor said that the fire lotus is a once in a thousand years life, and is specially created to control the ice silkworm gu that comes once in a thousand years.”


  Qiao Ruoyi’s long hair was draped over her shoulders. She held the quilt tightly and cried, “Grandmother, mother, I don’t want to die yet. I Can’t bear to part with Nichang and the rest of you.”


  She looked at Xie Yun and said, “Why do you want to harm me like this? It’s not enough to harm Luo Wei, even I can’t live for Long!”


  Qiao ruoyi thought that she had only been promoted to Assistant Minister of the Ministry of appointments for less than three months, and she still wanted to display her strength and work for the people. Also, Nichang’s birthday was just over three years old……

  She was really unwilling to accept this!

  “Good news.”


  Fu Lu hurriedly came in from outside. “Ah Lu and I were just about to go to the Miaojiang to bring their chief here when the Miaojiang Elder happened to come to Chang ‘an.”


  The Miaojiang Elder entered and bowed to old madam Qiao and Zheng Xiao. “Old Madam, Madam Hou, I came under the Order of the chief to contribute to the imperial court. I didn’t expect that His Majesty was not in Chang ‘an. I also heard that the fifth miss of your house was poisoned by a Gu.”


  Old Madam Qiao said, “Yes, I will have to trouble you to take a good look at my granddaughter.”


  The Miaojiang Elder walked up to Qiao Ruoyi and looked at the blood on her finger, he said, “This is the ice silkworm Gu! According to the ancient records, the only thing that the ice silkworm gu can counter is the fire lotus. However, the fire lotus has already been given to the eldest daughter of the Xie family!

  “That’s not right. I heard that the Xie family’s eldest daughter has already died in Miaojiang. Shouldn’t the ice silkworm gu have died along with the Xie family’s eldest daughter? “How did it end up with fifth miss?

  “The ice silkworm gu can not be transferred unless the flesh touches the wound for four hours.”


  Old Madam Qiao continued to ask, “Is there no way to save my granddaughter now?”


  The Miaojiang elder sighed and said, “If the Xie family’s daughter-in-law was still alive and there was still a way to save her, then the Xie family’s daughter-in-law had consumed the fire lotus. Her blood is the antidote to the ice silkworm Gu. She only needs to take it once every half a month. Unfortunately, the Xie family’s daughter-in-law has already passed away.”


  Not many people knew about the incident with Xie Yun back then, and the Elder was far away in Miaojiang and did not know about it either.

  After Zheng Xiao sent the elder away, old madam Qiao said to Xie Yun, “Xie family head, ruoyi being poisoned by the Gu is also an undeserved disaster.”


  Xie Yun looked at the thin and frail Qiao ruoyi on the bed and said, “Old Madam, don’t worry. I will donate blood to Miss Qiao Wu every half a month until I am a hundred years old.”


  Lan Xin said, “Master, your body wouldn’t be able to withstand so much blood every half a month! Using such a method, I’m afraid that you and Miss Ruoyi won’t be able to live for many years!”


  Xie Yun reprimanded Lan Xin, “Noisy.”


  Fu Lu said from the side, “This servant girl of yours doesn’t protect master like this. Ruoyi is a Gu worm because of Xie Yun. So what if Xie Yun gives all his blood to Ruoyi?”


  Lan Xin said slowly, “That’s not what I meant. When I was young, I also read the ancient records of the ice silkworm Gu in the Miaojiang. It was recorded that after the ice silkworm gu was transferred, if the person who consumed the fire lotus was a man, his blood essence could suppress the poison of the ice silkworm Gu.

  There’s no need to donate blood. Even if we become husband and wife, we can still suppress it……”


  Qiao ruoyi said, “If master Xie is afraid of losing his life and is unwilling to donate blood, I won’t force you. I only hope that master Xie can treat nichang well after I pass away. Otherwise, I won’t let you off even if I become a ghost!”


  Xie Yun’s phoenix-like eyes slightly twitched. “That was what Lanxin said, not what I meant. Don’t worry, I will only donate blood to you. I Won’t force you to do anything!”
