Chapter 618: Poison
Impossible, how could it be?
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t figure it out.
It’s impossible that he hasn’t met Princess Chu Yu?
As long as he is in Beijing, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, his parents will take him to Chu's house. It is impossible that he has never met Chu Yu, but... his memory does not have her at all.
So weird.
The more Chu Jingqi thought about it, the weirder he felt, and the more panicked he became. Moreover, he found that every time he recalled what happened in Chu's house, his memory was very confusing and intermittent, as if...
It was as if someone took a knife and cut off his memory section by section.
This feeling is really uncomfortable.
Chu Jingqi let go of Xia Zihan and held her head, her expression very uncomfortable. Xia Zihan turned pale with fright and rushed over, "What's wrong with you? Do you have a headache?"
"Don't touch me."
As soon as her hand touched him, he threw it away. He stared at her with red eyes and said coldly, "Don't touch me, go away, go away...don't let me destroy you."
< br>
"Aqi."
"Don't call me." As soon as he heard her calling his name in a voice that sounded like spring water, his head hurt even more, as if someone was hitting his head with an awl again and again.
"Still not leaving yet," he shouted.
"Okay, I'm leaving, I'm leaving now..." Xia Zihan wanted to check his pulse, but seeing his eyes getting redder and redder, she didn't dare to stay any longer. She was afraid that if she continued to stay, he would Something will happen.
She hurried out of his room and told the servant outside, "Go and call the fox over. Remember, don't let anyone know."
"Yes, Crown Princess."
The boy who had long heard the two masters quarreling, immediately felt like his butt was on fire and hurried to call someone.
Xia Zihan didn't dare to really leave. She stood at the door of the house, clenching her fists and waiting anxiously.
Soon, the fox came leaping over. Xia Zihan went up to meet him and said, "Go in and see him quickly. He has a headache and he won't let me..."
Her eyes were red and she was about to shed tears.
The fox hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, I will take good care of the prince."
"Try to persuade him to let me take his pulse." Xia Zihan whispered.
The fox hummed and went in.
After more than half an hour, Xia Zihan heard the fox's voice inside calling her, "Princess, the Crown Prince invites you to come in."
Xia Zihan felt happy, opened the door and walked in.
Chu Jingqi was lying on the Luohan bed, covered with a thin blanket, and her face was a little pale. When she came in, she didn't speak, but obediently stretched out a hand.
The fox stood in front of the Arhat's bed. After paying her a courtesy, he gave up his position to her.
Sitting down on the edge of the bed, Xia Zihan raised her hand and gently pinched his veins with her slender and beautiful fingers.
The moment she met him, Xia Zihan clearly felt that his body stiffened a bit. She coaxed gently, "Relax, don't worry, I won't hurt you."
< br>
Who is Chu Jingqi? He has always had a very cold temperament and a strong sense of vigilance. Not to mention in his heart, he doesn’t know Xia Zihan. Even if he does, as long as she is not a close relative, he will not let her pinch her veins. .
It was the fox who repeatedly promised him that Xia Zihan would not hurt him, so he would allow her to take his pulse. Otherwise, without the fox around, even if he suspected that there was something wrong with his memory, he would not let Xia Zihan take his pulse. When Duomingri entered the palace to see the emperor, he asked the imperial physician to take his pulse.
Therefore, when Xia Zihan pinched his veins, he only felt that his death thread was being pulled, and he could not relax no matter what.
Xia Zihan frowned attentively and held Chu Jingqi's wrist carefully for a long time before letting go of Chu Jingqi's wrist with a solemn expression.
The fox hurriedly asked, "Princess, how is the prince's health?"
Xia Zihan looked at Chu Jingqi and saw that he was also staring at her, his eyes seemed to be asking questions, so Xia Zihan asked him, "You have a sachet that never leaves your body. Where did it go? Why don't you wear it?"
I glanced at the clothes he took off aside, but I didn't see the sachet on it.
"Sachet?" Chu Jingqi looked slightly stunned.
He remembered that he seemed to have a sachet before, which seemed to have been given to him by Doctor Bai. It contained anti-poison powder, but...where did his sachet go?
When did he take it off?
Chu Jingqi tried hard to remember, but she couldn't remember where his sachet went.
Wait, didn't Chu Yu check his pulse? Why did he suddenly ask about the sachet? Could it be...
Chu Jingqi's eyes widened and she stared at Xia Zihan, "Is there a worm in my body?"
That sachet is anti-poison. Since Chu Yu would ask about that sachet, it must be related to voodoo insects.
Seeing Xia Zihan nodding silently, Chu Jingqi was ready to hit the wall and said in disbelief, "How is it possible? No stranger has ever been near me. How could I be infected by a poisonous insect?"
Could it be that Princess Ximin is not a stranger to you?
Xia Zihan wanted to ask, but remembering the scene of him defending Princess Ximin yesterday, she suppressed the question.
She said, "There is a Gu worm in your body. What kind of Gu is it? I don't know yet. However, everyone remembers me but forgot about me. I guess it must be related to this Gu worm." Is it love Gu?" Fox suddenly interrupted and asked.
He had heard before that there was a kind of Gu in Miao territory called Love Gu.
As long as someone has been poisoned by love, they will fall in love with the person who fell in love at first sight, and they will be devoted to the person until death.
If you want the person who has fallen under the love poison to wake up, you have to find a way to lure out the love poison. Otherwise, the person who has fallen under the love poison will never wake up in this life.
Thinking of this, the fox became a little worried about Chu Jingqi.
Xia Zihan shook his head, "I don't know. I've only seen Love Gu in books. I don't know what it looks like."
In her mind, the image of Chu Jingqi being gentle to Princess Ximin came back to her mind.
A guess gradually came into her mind.
But... Princess Ximin has been raised in the palace since she was a child, and she has not been out of the palace for more than ten years. How can she raise love Gu?
Where did she get the lovegu larvae?
Also, raising Love Gu is no more pretentious than other Gus. It requires a woman’s own blood to raise it from an early age. People without any physical constitution really can’t raise Love Gu.
As for Princess Ximin, I heard that she had been frail and sickly since she was a child and was not liked by the late emperor. Her life in the palace was not easy.
How can a princess who doesn't even have enough to eat and who isn't pampered be able to raise a Love Gu?
Even if she could afford it, where did her Love Gu larvae come from?
Many questions flooded into her head, but she couldn't find answers.
Chu Jingqi thought for a while and said to her, "Tomorrow, I will go to the palace to see the emperor. When I come back, we will go to Chu's house to see Dr. Bai and pay my respects to my grandmother."
As expected of Chu Jingqi, even if he was bewitched and forgot about Xia Zihan, his IQ was not damaged at all.
He thought of Doctor Bai, and also thought of...
"Don't spread the word about my physical condition for now." He told the two of them calmly.
He could be poisoned. He guessed that it must have been caused by the people around him. Except for the people around him,... no one could be poisoned by him.
He was worried that he would scare away the person who had bewitched him.
Xia Zihan and Fox both nodded.
The next day, Chu Jingqi went to the palace to see the emperor before he had eaten. He only told what happened in the south, but did not tell the emperor about his poison.
However, he explained everything about Princess Ximin.
Finally, he said, "Princess Ximin said that she likes to live in Anjun Prince's Mansion, so I asked someone to arrange a guest house for Princess Ximin to temporarily live in Anjun Prince's Mansion. Your Majesty, would you like to invite her into the palace?" Meet? ”
"No, but it will be inconvenient for a married woman to live in Prince Anjun's palace, and it will be bad for her reputation. I will send someone to pick her up and live in the palace. She will stay in her original residence." In the palace." The emperor said.
Princess Ximin, a married woman, is no different from a widow. People say that widows have a lot of troubles in front of them. Now, she is living in Prince Anjun's mansion for no reason, and she will definitely arouse people's criticism.
When the time comes, Chu Yu will definitely be unhappy if Chu Jingqi is involved. He doesn't want to affect the relationship between Chu Jingqi and Chu Yu because of Princess Ximin.
After the emperor made his decision, he sent Eunuch Li to the Yinan County Prince's Mansion to take Princess Ximin, who was extremely reluctant to leave, into the palace.
Princess Ximin wanted to cry and not leave, but Eunuch Li said that this was the emperor's will, and violating the emperor's will would be a serious crime of beheading no matter who it was.
Even though Princess Ximin was so powerful, she didn't dare to really disobey the imperial edict. After weighing the pros and cons, Princess Ximin finally agreed to move into the palace.
When Chu Jingqi came back, she had already moved away.
Chu Jingqi took Xia Zihan to Chu's house.
I greeted Ms. Zeng first, talked to her for a while, and then asked to see Dr. Bai.
Zeng thought that he had just returned to Beijing and was going to pay a visit to Doctor Bai, so he didn't worry much and asked Xia Zihan to accompany him.
"You young people, go for a walk in the garden more often. In this season, the flowers are blooming brightly."
Zeng waved her hand and signaled them to go quickly.
"Grandma, let's go over then." Xia Zihan smiled and tried to pull Chu Jingqi's hand out of habit, but Chu Jingqi subconsciously avoided it.
Xia Zihan grabbed the opportunity and felt very unhappy. However, in order to prevent her shrewd grandmother from seeing anything, she quietly retracted her hand.
……
After Doctor Bai took Chu Jingqi's pulse, he kept frowning and never let go.
Xia Zihan looked anxiously, "Master, is there a poisonous insect in Aqi's body?"
Doctor Bai hummed and stood under the window, with his hands behind his hands, looking out at the sunshine outside the window.
Xia Zihan could see that the master's face was solemn and frowning, as if he had encountered a problem that was difficult to solve, and Xia Zihan couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.
Neither Xia Zihan nor Chu Jingqi dared to come forward to disturb him. Finally, when Doctor Bai came out of his thoughts, Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi surrounded him.
