Pei Feng hurried to meet Chu Jingyue as soon as she arrived at the gate of the mansion.
“The Grand Madam’s condition has improved a lot, please go and see her quickly, Princess.”
Wenren Si raised his eyebrows and asked, seeing his anxious look, “Did Mama scold you?”
“Yes.” Pei Feng pouted a little aggrieved, knowing that he wouldn’t mention the King, and was scolded for nothing.
Wenren Si coughed lightly and said, “There are still important matters in the mansion, or should this King go to the study to handle affairs first.”
Since Pei Feng said that the bead string was effective, it meant that Chu Jingyue did have a way to treat her, so he wouldn’t go there.
Chu Jingyue didn’t know what was going on with the two of them, and didn’t bother to pay attention, and went straight to the Grand Madam’s courtyard.
However, Wenren Si said he was relieved, but in fact he still followed.
“Princess, please come in quickly, that bead string is indeed effective, but the Grand Madam still hasn’t woken up.”
Chu Jingyue nodded lightly and ordered, “No matter what sound you hear, you must not break in.”
The people outside the door looked at each other. Before long, the Grand Madam’s extremely painful wailing sounded in the room, and Zhao Mama immediately couldn’t stand still.
“Even killing someone wouldn’t be like this.” Zhao Mama was worried about the Grand Madam, and completely forgot Chu Jingyue’s instructions in her urgency.
Wenren Si immediately asked Pei Feng to block the door, “Mama, please wait.”
“King! Listen to the sound in the room, can a normal person make that sound?” Mama anxiously wanted to break in.
Wenren Si was also worried, but now he could only choose to believe Chu Jingyue.
Trust those you employ.
Zhao Mama anxiously circled in the courtyard, and Wenren Si was equally uneasy.
Before long, Chu Jingyue opened the door, holding a dark worm in her hand, as big as a palm, emitting a terrifying black aura.
This thing scared Pei Feng, the big man, and jumped ten feet away.
A look of disgust rose in Wenren Si’s eyes, “What is it?”
Someone dared to use this thing to harm his mother.
“Grievance Gu.”
Chu Jingyue explained, and then threw the thing into the air, and the Weizhi sword was unsheathed, cutting it off.
The worm’s body fell in two, and after the black gas dissipated, it looked like an ordinary big bug.
“The Gu worm is refined from grievances. It is only the size of a grain of rice at first. If it enters the human body, it can quickly devour its blood and even its internal organs. It eats from the inside to the outside until the whole body is eaten, and it will become the size of a person.”
Chu Jingyue picked up the Gu worm with mucus with a handkerchief and said, “Find a container, I want to burn it.”
“Then her body…” Wenren Si frowned and asked worriedly.
Chu Jingyue put away the Weizhi sword and said, “It’s okay, it’s only the size of a palm, and it was only able to swallow some essence and blood before being suppressed by the Zangling bead. Later, I will prescribe a prescription to replenish blood and increase qi, and it will be fine after drinking two doses of decoction.”
Pei Feng hurriedly found a container, Chu Jingyue threw the handkerchief and the worm into it, and casually twisted a decision, and a fire started in the container.
“It’s really amazing.” Zhao Mama was surprised by what she saw, even immortals and real people were nothing more than this.
“Princess, please wash your hands first.” Pei Feng thoughtfully brought a basin of water.
Chu Jingyue washed her hands, Wenren Si took out his handkerchief to wipe her hands, and asked Zhao Mama, “What did mother eat before the accident?”
“She didn’t eat anything, just drank a soothing soup. Since you had an accident, King, the princess has hardly slept. She didn’t have the mood to drink any soup before. Today, seeing that you are fine, King, she thought about drinking some soup to help.”
After Zhao Mama finished speaking, she said again, “This old servant will call everyone who has been in contact with the soup to ask questions.”
“No need to be so troublesome.”
Chu Jingyue held the burning container in her hand, the heat-insulating ceramic was icy cold, she put her two fingers together and drew a talisman in the air directly above the container.
“Follow me.”
A line that only she could see guided her, and everyone followed her all the way to the kitchen.
Chu Jingyue pointed to the fat aunt who was washing dishes in the yard and said, “She has been in contact with it, interrogate her.”
Wenren Si immediately ordered to arrest the fat aunt and take her to the backyard for interrogation.
The fat aunt didn’t say anything at first. Chu Jingyue leaned in the rattan chair, eating pastries, and said slowly, “Let the King beat you with a board, and then I will use some methods, and you will definitely tell the truth.”
The fat aunt didn’t take her words seriously, and was still kowtowing and crying, “This servant doesn’t know anything.”
“Hit her.” Chu Jingyue did have a way to make her tell the truth, but doing so would require drawing talismans and chanting spells, which she found troublesome.
It’s better to use some simpler methods.
The bench was set up, the fat aunt was pressed on it, and the board was struck down alternately, she inexplicably had a kind of illusion.
This board didn’t seem to be hitting her buttocks, but rather hitting her tongue.
“I, I say, I say!”
The fat aunt couldn’t help crying and begging for mercy after only three hits. Pei Feng widened his eyes, so magical?
Wenren Si also asked curiously, “What did you do?”
“I set up a truth spell. If the person in the spell doesn’t tell the truth, the pain of the punishment will be transferred to the tongue.”
Chu Jingyue said calmly, but let Pei Feng next to her subconsciously cover his mouth.
Goodness, the board is hitting the tongue, it hurts to think about it.
“Say.” Wenren Si straightened his face, not forgetting to do business.
The fat aunt said vaguely with a thick tongue, “Some time ago, someone gave this servant ten taels of silver and asked me to put a few rice-like things into the food of the masters.”
Zhao Mama was anxious when she heard this, “A few? How many did you put? Where are the remaining things? If you dare to lie, this board will still hit your tongue!”
The fat aunt kowtowed in fear and said, “It wasn’t me on duty some time ago, so I only had time to put one today. The King and the Princess haven’t returned at noon, I don’t know what that thing is, I just thought it was a few grains of rice, and it would be time to put the others in the dinner, but the backyard said that the Grand Madam had an accident, so I, so I…”
Zhao Mama looked back at Chu Jingyue, wanting to ask her if she was telling the truth or a lie, she couldn’t tell if the fat aunt was pretending to be in pain.
“It’s true.”
Wenren Si immediately asked Pei Feng to send someone to escort the cook Wang to find the remaining grievance Gu worms and bring them back.
However, two hours passed, and the people sent to search Wang’s house had not returned. Wenren Si couldn’t rest assured and planned to send a few more people to take a look.
“It’s been two hours and they haven’t returned, is the road far?”
Chu Jingyue was also waiting to destroy the remaining grievance Gu worms, but the waiting time was too long.
“It’s not close, but I sent the dark guards.” Wenren Si frowned, even if it was farther, the dark guards should have returned at their speed.
Chu Jingyue’s eyes sank slightly, and she started to calculate, “Something happened.”
“Prepare the carriage immediately.” Wenren Si walked in a hurry, those dark guards were all his confidants, and they guarded him wholeheartedly, he must not let them have an accident.
Chu Jingyue quickly borrowed strength to jump on the roof, “It’s too late, I’ll go first.”
She went straight to the place where the black gas was faintly emerging above the capital, the black gas must be there.
Wenren Si didn’t care about his identity, and chased her, stepping on tiles and flying over walls, followed by Pei Feng and a group of dark guards.
“Found it.”
