Chapter 186: Don’t Stop Me!
Hearing his brother-in-law’s strange comment, Gu Yu curiously turned his head.
I wonder what kind of person could make Gu Qingheng feel strange…
However, when Gu Yu looked over, he also found that this person had some problems.
This unknown woman, brought by an official, was standing alone in a corner, expressionless, staring directly at the dragon throne, her eyes unblinking.
Someone nearby also noticed the woman’s abnormality, but didn’t take it seriously, just moved away from her and continued to chat and laugh.
“Brother-in-law, you see it too! This woman, how is she like she’s soul-less!”
As Gu Yu frowned, Gu Qingheng’s voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
With his superstitious demeanor, Gu Yu felt that his brother-in-law was about to talk about feudal superstition!
We need to believe in science!
Even if it were truly feudal superstition, generally evil spirits wouldn’t dare to enter the Imperial Palace to run rampant.
After all, the Imperial Palace is the residence of the Son of Heaven… The dragon’s energy alone could dispel evil spirits.
Cough, cough, why did this topic come up!
If it continues, ghost stories will emerge.
“Maybe she’s just sick!”
“Sick? She doesn’t look like it! And if she were sick, she couldn’t come to congratulate Empress Bai Qian on her birthday!”
When Gu Yu said this, Gu Qingheng’s small face immediately showed a look of disbelief, clearly not believing that the woman was just sick.
However, possession by a ghost or the like was also unlikely.
After all, this was not only the Imperial Palace, but also broad daylight, so it was obviously not a place for ghosts to appear!
Or, this is an assassin!
Under the guise of an official’s family member, she sneaked into the Imperial Palace, and then waited for an opportunity to harm Empress Bai Qian!
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, which made Gu Qingheng anxious. He raised his hand, grabbed Gu Yu’s sleeve, and then hurriedly stated his thoughts.
“Brother-in-law, do you think… this person might want to harm Empress Bai Qian? If so, that would be terrible!”
“You’re getting more and more outlandish! If she were really an assassin, would she expose herself so openly?”
“I have a very strong sixth sense that things are really like this!”
Gu Yu felt a little relieved that Gu Qingheng didn’t mention anything about ghosts.
However, listening to Gu Qingheng’s somewhat drifting thoughts, Gu Yu couldn’t help but shake his head.
If Gu Yu hadn’t heard that secret from Qiu Ju, he might have worried like Gu Qingheng, thinking that the other party might be an assassin sent by the enemy to assassinate Bai Qian.
But, thinking about how that Witch Priest had spent so much effort just to gain Empress Bai Qian’s favor…
Thinking of this, Gu Yu couldn’t help but shake his head, thinking that Bai Qian’s charm was truly immense!
Originally, he thought the other party was just trying to seize Linfeng Kingdom, but now he knew that Linfeng Kingdom was just a secondary objective.
The real target was only Bai Qian.
However, now that Bai Qian and the young eunuch Li Ye had become a pair, the Witch Priest was too late.
After all, Bai Qian already had a child.
Moreover, even if Li Ye hadn’t appeared, with Bai Qian’s personality, those who dared to force her would not end well.
“No, I have to go and see what’s going on!”
“Come back.”
Just as Gu Yu was thinking about these things, Gu Qingheng’s hurried voice sounded, making Gu Yu quickly raise his hand and grab his brother-in-law’s collar, preventing him from leaving his side.
This trip was to celebrate Bai Qian’s birthday, and causing trouble for no reason would not be good.
Furthermore, whether that woman had a problem or not was not something Gu Qingheng could determine.
“Brother-in-law, don’t stop me!”
“Alright, what good would it do for a child like you to go? I’ll go.”
“Ah! Brother-in-law, you’re just a scholar with no strength to even truss a chicken, so you shouldn’t take the risk! Otherwise, if something really happens, my sister will skin me alive!”
“Get lost, get lost, get lost. If this woman really has a problem, she’s being controlled by drugs… and I’m an expert in this field, so I can go and see the specific situation. Your going would just be a hindrance.”
After Gu Yu gave his brother-in-law a glare, he didn’t waste any more time in place. Instead, he quickly strode towards the corner, preparing to investigate.
No wonder Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng were wary, as the place they were in was quite sensitive.
Whether Empress Bai Qian or the officials had an accident, it would not be a good thing.
Just with Gu Yu dealing with some nobles, Bai Qian told him to behave himself… If a few of the officials present died, Bai Qian would be heartbroken.
Of course, in Gu Yu’s mind, it didn’t matter if they lived or got stuck.
After all, it had nothing to do with him.
But this time, his father-in-law’s family was also here!
If anything happened, and it implicated his father-in-law’s family, that would be terrible!
Therefore, Gu Yu had to take the initiative to investigate and see what was going on.
If it was just a false alarm, then everyone would be happy…
However…
When Gu Yu reached the woman, he didn’t see any reaction from her.
As Gu Yu looked at the woman from the side, his gaze swept across her face, and his eyes suddenly became solemn.
Around the woman’s neck, there were three to five bulges that were clearly moving in circles.
However, after a few seconds, the bulges returned to normal.
After a few more minutes, the bulges appeared again.
It was as if several small snakes were hidden under her skin, which made Gu Yu recall a casual remark in the Medical Scripture and suddenly thought of the words ‘Gu worm’.
Clearly, a normal person would not have such a reaction; at least Gu Yu’s neck would not be like this.
This was Gu Yu’s first time seeing Gu technique, and besides surprise, he also felt a lot of curiosity.
Speaking of Gu technique, in the extremely southern part of Linfeng Kingdom, there were some villages that could control all sorts of Gu worms.
These worms were varied.
There was nothing they couldn’t do, as long as you could imagine it.
This also made people in other parts of Linfeng Kingdom fearful of them, with few daring to contact these villages, fearing they would be unknowingly affected by Gu.
Therefore, even though Gu Yu had read in the Medical Scripture how to deal with Gu worms, he did not dare to be careless now. Instead, he quickly walked out of the palace and raised his hand to summon the alliance members.
“Doctor Gu, what are your orders?”
“There is a strange woman in the hall. It seems she has been affected by Gu. Please inform Bai Qian.”
“Yes!”
As Gu Yu raised his hand, someone immediately appeared before him.
Upon hearing what Gu Yu said, the masked person knew that the matter was serious, so without saying much, he quickly disappeared from the spot.
Gu Yu looked at the empty space before him and felt truly envious.
Having an amazing lightness skill is truly great!
Afterwards, he imagined his little wife also taking him away with a vanishing act, it sounded so satisfying!!!
“Brother-in-law, why did you come out? Hurry and go in and see, that woman has fainted!”
Just as Gu Yu was lost in his airy-fairy fantasies, Gu Qingheng’s voice suddenly sounded.
The panic in his words was undeniable, which made Gu Yu feel surprised when he heard it.
Gu worm, has it taken effect so quickly?
