Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 145 Heart-Eating Gu

Mrs. Qiu's bedroom was very quiet. A maid was serving in the room. When she saw them come in, she bowed silently.

Huang Ye looked at Mrs. Qiu who was sleeping against the head of the bed. She was very thin, and her face was unhealthily pale. Even when Huang Ye pulled her wrist to feel her pulse, she did not wake up.

Qiu Yun'er held her breath and stared at Huang Ye without blinking. Her expression became more and more solemn, and her heart sank more and more.

Huang Ye didn't care if anyone saw her or not. She went straight forward and unbuttoned Mrs. Qiu's shirt, then carefully felt her skinny body. Finally, her finger stopped at her heart, feeling it carefully. She didn't know how much time had passed. She covered Mrs. Qiu's clothes, pulled the quilt up again, and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing her solemn expression, Qiu Yun'er's heart rose to her throat, "How is my mother...?" She asked with a tearful voice.

Huang Ye came back to his senses: "Don't worry, your mother is not in danger for the time being, it's just..."

Huang Ye did not hide the truth from her: "Your mother is not sick, but has been poisoned by a Gu, and it is the most vicious heart-eating Gu. Usually, this Gu worm only absorbs the host's nutrients, and on the full moon night of each month, it is the most active time. Usually, the host will be in excruciating pain on this night. Your mother has been able to endure it for so many years, which is amazing."

Qiu Yun'er was already in tears. She wondered how her mother survived those nights without her knowing. She hated the person who put the poison in her mother's body. He was so cruel that he put the poison in people's bodies. It was obvious how vicious he was.

Madam Qiu's maid suddenly knelt on the ground and burst into tears. She kowtowed to Huang Ye. She was Madam Qiu's personal maid brought from her mother's home. She knew better than anyone how Madam Qiu had survived all these years. "The mansion has invited so many doctors over the years, but none of them can tell what disease Madam has. Please, young lady, save Madam."

"It's Aunt Li, it must be her, there's no one else but her." Qiu Yun'er rushed out the door with gnashing teeth in hatred. She wanted to tear that person into pieces to relieve the hatred in her heart.

"Come back." Huang Ye didn't pull her back, but just this one sentence successfully stopped Qiu Yun'er, who was almost out of control. She looked at Huang Ye with tears in her eyes, looking so pitiful.

"If you go to her now, will she admit it?"

"Also, your mother was only infected with a male Gu, while the female Gu is in the hands of the person who poisoned her. If we alert the person who poisoned her and kill the female Gu, your mother will die immediately."

"What do you think we should do?" Qiu Yun'er was extremely panicked. After all, she was only fourteen years old.

"This matter is of great importance. We need the help of your father and grandfather. How about this? I won't go back tonight. If I remember correctly, tonight is the night of the full moon. The reason why your mother is unconscious now is that the poisonous insect is saving food for itself. When the midnight comes, it will enjoy its feast."

"We have to find the mother Gu and destroy it first, so that we can eliminate the hidden danger. Besides, judging from your mother's health, it's not certain whether she can survive tonight."

"Hongdou, go back and tell my family that I want to play in the Qiu Mansion for two days and won't be back at night. Tell them not to worry. Also, bring my bottle of blood-replenishing pills with you."

"Yes." Hongdou also knew that the matter was of great importance, so she agreed and went out.

Next, Huang Ye gave Madam Qiu acupuncture to protect her heart meridian first. He also dissolved the detoxification pills he carried with him in warm water and fed it to the unconscious Madam Qiu. The poison is also poisonous. The detoxification pills can have a certain inhibitory effect on the Gu worm. Even if the mother Gu cannot be found today, when the poison takes effect, the Gu worm will move less and people will suffer less.

When Mr. Qiu and his two sons returned to Mrs. Qiu's yard after work, they saw a pretty little girl and their granddaughter sitting in the house, with Mrs. Qiu and the second wife accompanying them.

Old Madam Qiu was actually also confused. The two children just said that there was something important that they could only tell the three people after they came back.

Huang Ye stood up and saluted the three people. Old Master Qiu looked to be in his fifties, walking with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. His other two sons were also very energetic. After all, they came from a family of military generals, and this spirit and energy was accumulated from generations.

"Grandpa and grandma, it's like this." After everyone sat down, Qiu Yun'er told Huang Ye everything about the diagnosis.

Everyone in the room was stunned and could not believe their ears. How could such a strange thing happen in their family? Poisoning? It sounded like a very distant legend.

"Could the little girl have made a mistake?" Old Man Qiu couldn't believe it. To be honest, he didn't quite believe it. There was such a young girl.

"I believe her." Father Qiu suddenly remembered that when Yue Niang first became ill, it was just like what the little girl said. She would feel excruciating pain in her heart every middle of the month. Later... she didn't let him go into the room to accompany her, so he didn't know what happened.

"Today is the night of the full moon, when the male Gu are most active, and the female Gu will also be active. The person who feeds the female Gu will feed it with blood on this day to wake up the sleeping female Gu. As long as we find the person who put the Gu in her body and kill the female Gu, the lady will be saved."

"I suspect Aunt Li. Apart from her, no one else has any reason to harm my mother." Qiu Yun'er still gave the same reason.

"No way...." Father Qiu couldn't believe that the person who slept next to him every night, the person who gave birth to his two children, could be such a vicious person. If it was really her, it was really terrible.
