After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 289 Gu worms found in the palace
The next day, neither Ning Youbei nor Su Yingxue replied, but someone sent a letter to Qu Chu to reassure her.

Qu Chu forced himself to calm down, so as not to infect the three children with his emotions.

Qu Chu found that she hadn't been on the battlefield for several years and had a child again, so she was no longer as calm as when she led troops to fight.

She reflected on herself: now that she is in this situation, even if she goes to the battlefield, can she be as unscrupulous as before?Will it still be undefeated?
This is the first time Qu Chu has doubts about himself.

……

Ning Youbei and Su Yingxue returned to Chu Palace in three days.

Before Qu Chu asked, Ning Youbei told Qu Chu first.

"Brother Huang's poison has been cured, but his body is still affected, so he needs to recuperate."

Seeing Su Yingxue's pale face, Qu Chu asked, "Are you alright?"

Ning Youbei said: "This time, it's thanks to Su Zhuangzhu. Without her, Brother Huang's poison cannot be cured."

Deng Mingyu muttered to the side: "Ying Xue contributed two cups of blood."

Su Yingxue patted Deng Mingyu's hand, telling him not to speak.

Qu Chu helped Su Yingxue into her room, "What's going on?"

In the past, Ying Xue detoxified people, no matter how difficult the poison was, she had never required so much blood at one time.

There was nothing he couldn't say to Qu Chu, Su Yingxue dismissed Deng Mingyu: "Go to the kitchen and cook two cups of medicinal food for nourishing qi and blood for me."

After Deng Mingyu left, Su Yingxue said:

"The emperor was poisoned by a kind of baby wood flower poison, which is colorless and tasteless and cannot be tested. After being poisoned by this kind of poison, people will stay in a deep sleep until they die.

This kind of baby wood flower is born in extremely cold places, and it grows in the north of Changqing country. "

"You told the emperor all these words?"

Su Yingxue said:

"How could I be so stupid? I only talked about the toxicity of the baby wood flower, and said that it was born in an extremely cold place. The entire Dayu Kingdom cannot grow this poisonous flower, and I didn't say that it grows in the north of Changqing Kingdom."

Qu Chu said: "Then why did you contribute two tea cups of blood? You are still pregnant, two tea cups of blood is not a small amount."

Su Yingxue said:

"I knew it well. It would be life-threatening to bleed more than four cups of blood at a time. While bleeding, I took Xuetengcao pills to enrich the blood."

This Xueteng grass pill was developed by Bi Shenyi.

Blood vine grass is difficult to preserve. After refining it into pills, not only does it retain its strong blood-enriching effect, but it can also be preserved for several years.

"You have never used so much blood to save people before, have you? Why do you need so much this time?"

Su Yingxue showed a sly smile, "If I tell you that I did it on purpose for Chong Jiu, would you believe it?"

Qu Chu thought for a while, "Are you trying to fight for a title for Chongjiu?"

"Well," Su Yingxue said, "I never thought about this before, but since I knew that I was pregnant with a boy, I have thought more about it."

Qu Chu thought for a while and understood.

The child in Ying Xue's womb is Deng Mingyu's eldest son. If there is no accident, he will inherit his title in the future.Chongjiu is the elder brother of Yingxue's unborn child. The two brothers will definitely grow up in the future. Chongjiu will not have a title at that time, and he will have to look at other people's faces when he goes in and out.

Ying Xue must have thought of these things before thinking of fighting for a title for Chong Jiu.

"You..."

Qu Chu didn't know what to say about Ying Xue.

Ying Xue was such a free and easy person before, but after having a child, she also has a lot of worries.

Seeing that Qu Chu understood, Su Yingxue stopped explaining, but said:

"Today when the emperor asked me what reward I wanted, I said it was my honor to save the emperor's life, and I dared not ask for a reward. But the emperor will definitely reward me. Whether I can ask for a title for Chongjiu depends on your family." .”

Qu Chu responded immediately, "I see, I'll talk to Youbei later."

"There is one more thing, you should decide whether to tell King Chu."

"what's up?"

"When I was in Nanyi, I raised a little golden snake that senses Gu worms, and I brought it into the palace today, but the little golden snake is restless today.

But at that time there were too many people present, not only the imperial physicians, but also many concubines. I was anxious to save the emperor, so I didn't talk about it. "

"I see. I'll tell Youbei about it. It's just that I may have to trouble you to enter the palace."

"It's okay, it's a trivial matter to me anyway."

After Su Yingxue talked casually for a while, Deng Mingyu came back with a cup of soup.

Qu Chu stood up, "You have a good rest, I'll go first."

……

Ning Youbei had just finished washing when she saw Qu Chu come back and hold her hand:
"Ah Chu, Brother Huang's coma after being poisoned this time is the same as that of Emperor Father's coma back then. I suspect that the reason why Emperor Father fell asleep back then was because of this poison."

"Ying Xue said that this poison is baby wood flower poison, which grows in the northern region of Changqing Kingdom."

"Ah Chu, you once suspected that the king of Jiangcheng raised his private soldiers in Changqing country. Could this baby tree flower poison be related to him?"

Qu Chu thought for a while:
"Ye Yu'an's father was killed by members of the Dark Night Alliance on the way to look for the late emperor's doctor Bi. If the late emperor was also poisoned by this poison, then the whole matter may have something to do with the old Jiangcheng prince and his son."

Ning Youbei hypothesized the whole thing: after the old Jiangcheng king poisoned his father, he was afraid that Yu'an's father would find Bi Shenyi to detoxify him, so he ordered the Dark Yemeng to kill Yu'an's father.

But these are conjectures with no evidence.

After talking about this, Qu Chu told Ying Xue that someone might be hiding Gu worms in the palace.

"Ying Xue said that there were a lot of people at that time, and she was anxious to detoxify the emperor, so she didn't say anything about it."

Ning Youbei heard that Gu worms appeared in the palace, and said: "This is not a trivial matter, I will go into the palace and talk to the emperor right now."

"Don't be in a hurry," Qu Chu stopped Ning Youbei, "If the emperor talks about rewarding Yingxue, you might as well ask for one for Chongjiu."

Ning Youbei thought about it and figured out what was going on, "It's a trivial matter, you tell Zhu Zhuangzhu that even if you don't get the title for Chong Jiu this time, Chong Jiu will always be indispensable in the future."

Qu Chudao: "Have you really thought about becoming emperor?"

Ningyou North Road:

"I didn't think about it before, but now the people behind me have used all the tricks of poisoning and Gu, how can there be life if I don't argue?

Even if it is for you and the children, I will fight. "

Qu Chu didn't say anything, but Ning Youbei knew that no matter how he chose Qu Chu would support him.

……

Ning Youbei entered the palace again, this time to the emperor's bedroom.

When Ning Youbei arrived, Eunuch Rong brought medicine for the emperor to take.

Ning Youbei personally served the emperor to drink the medicine, then helped him to rinse his mouth, and helped him to lie on the big pillow.

"Why did you enter the palace again?"

Ning Youbei said to Eunuch Rong: "I haven't had time to eat when I get back to the house, so please go and get some food for me, Eunuch."

No one can believe it until they can't confirm who is carrying the Gu worm.
