The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 361 Suspected Witch Gu Concubine De Leaves the Palace Privately (1)
Although Yinzhen didn't have a good impression of Chen Li for some reasons, he was always kind to people with more real skills, not to mention that Chen Li was still a member of Anbu now.Chen Li has his own small courtyard in the Prince's Mansion, which is located in the deepest courtyard on the left wing of the Prince's Mansion.Chen Li lives here occasionally to give lessons to a few elder brothers.In the small courtyard, there is a room that Chen Li set up alone, in which are stored all kinds of medical materials and equipment of Chen Li.Generally, few people can come in. Chen Li asked Yinzhen and Daiyu unceremoniously for a lot of silver to buy the utensils they needed, and of course he also gave corresponding returns during the period.Ever since he knew that Daiyu would send a group of people to Europe every year, Chen Li even more bluntly issued a series of orders asking for more equipment for himself.Even though Daiyu didn't understand what he asked for, she didn't refuse to buy it back exactly as required on the list.

When Qi Buchen stepped into Chen Li's secret room, he saw Chen Li standing in front of a strange thing and observing something with great concentration.It wasn't until Qi Buchen walked into Chen Li that he heard footsteps and turned back and asked, "How did you come in?" Because the things in the room were so special, he even specifically asked Gege to find someone to install a mechanism on the door. Getting in is even harder.Qi Buchen smiled and didn't answer his words. He looked at the things in front of him with some puzzlement and said, "What are you doing?" Chen Li raised his eyebrows, and gave up the seat beside him, "You come Take a look." Qi Buchen leaned forward according to his instructions, a little dizzy with what he saw in front of him, "What is this thing? You said to take the blood of His Highness the Prince for a test, how did it go? "Chen Li said: "Isn't that what you saw?" Qi Buchen went up to look at it again with some disbelief, and said, "You said it was the blood of His Royal Highness. What is the wriggling thing inside?"

Chen Li shook his head, took off Yinzhen's blood and put it aside, took a thin blade from the table and scratched it on his hand, dripped a few drops of blood on it, and said: "I'm looking at the difference. .”

Qi Buchen looked again, and found that there were no such strange creeping objects in Chen Li's blood, and said, "You mean that His Highness the Crown Prince's coma is related to the things in this blood? But we can all see that His Highness's blood is very Normal?" Chen Li said helplessly, "There is an unknown creature in the blood of His Royal Highness, that is, those wriggling bugs. Unfortunately, the magnification of my microscope is too low, and I can only see the roughly linear creatures, but not I know exactly what it is. And I can be sure that there was no such thing in the blood of the prince yesterday. This thing appeared at least five hours after His Royal Highness was in a coma. However, it cannot be ruled out that it was caused by His Royal Highness It's already in the prince's body." Qi Buchen frowned heavily, and couldn't fully understand Chen Li's words, so Chen Li could only sigh and said, "I suspect that His Highness the prince's fainting was caused by some kind of tiny creature. Eggs are produced in the blood of His Royal Highness, and the eggs should not have hatched when I checked last night, and they may be smaller than what can be seen with this microscope, so I didn't find them."

Qi Buchen's face turned pale. Although he couldn't understand what Chen Li said, just imagining the scene was enough to make one's hair stand on end. "You said... There are bugs in His Highness's body..." Even the self-proclaimed experienced One of the seven cabinet masters of Anbu also felt unable to speak.

Chen Li gave him a strange look, and said, "There's nothing so strange about it. Just treat it as a human parasite and understand."

Qi Buchen was speechless, and asked after a while, "What can I do?"

Chen Li shook his head and said: "I just observed for a long time, the vitality of this little thing is not weak, it is not difficult to kill them alone outside, the problem is that they are in the blood of His Royal Highness. And no one can definitely kill them His Royal Highness will surely wake up." Qi Buchen could only sigh, and said, "Let's report to Gege first." Chen Li nodded, and began to pack his things, while saying: "Actually, I think this kind of inexplicable body The fact that there are bugs in it is more like an ancient secret art."

"Secret art?"

Chen Li blinked, raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiangxi Gu Art, is it possible that you haven't heard of it?"

Qi Buchen said: "Qingli Shanzhifang, Qianjinfang and other books have recorded some of them. But they are not as weird as folk legends. At the beginning of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the art of witchcraft was strictly prohibited. What's more, His Royal Highness's symptoms and Gu techniques are not the same."

Chen Lidao: "Folk legends always have her reasoning and basis. What's more, those are books written hundreds or even thousands of years ago. How do you know that people's Gu art in Xiangxi will not keep pace with the times? After all, it is not the saying that Jieling Do you still need someone to tie the bell? The princess should already have someone to suspect, right? Isn’t everything solved by catching the person who harmed the prince directly?” Qi Buchen glanced sideways at Chen Li who was busy packing up the equipment, and said: “ Do you know the crime of murdering the crown prince?" Chen Li paused for a moment, then said in silence for a moment: "Capital crime." Qi Buchen said: "After murdering the crown prince, it doesn't mean that he can be pardoned if he saves the crown prince. Therefore, even if the person who murdered the prince is caught, we may not be able to rest assured that he can save the prince. It is best to be able to find a way to save the prince, let alone..." Qi Buchen did not speak, but Chen Li knew that he was the last What is the worry.This is probably what everyone is worried about.What if... even the other party can't save the prince, what should we do?
When she returned to the main courtyard, Daiyu had already sent those imperial doctors to rest, leaving only two doctors from Anbu guarding her.Before the two came back, Daiyu was persuaded by Mo Feng and others to rest for more than an hour, and then got up again.

After listening to Chen Li's report and speculation, Dai Yu frowned and looked at Qi Buchen and said, "What do you think of Chen Li's thoughts? What do you know about Gu Art?"

Qi Buchen shook his head and said: "Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, witchcraft has been listed as a forbidden technique, especially in the court, every time it is involved, it is always involved. Up to now, it has basically disappeared. The residents in the Miaojiang area are He is good at poison, and likes to raise poisonous insects, but that is only due to the environment, and has nothing to do with the legendary Gu techniques. There are also several Miao doctors in Tianxuan Pavilion, if you have any questions, you may ask them to ask."

Daiyu shook her head and said, "Go back and ask them to see. Can Fourth Brother's illness be controlled, and will there be any changes?"
