Chu Yuanhua's angry curse caught Chu Lingyue's attention.

"Your Majesty, have mercy on me! The Queen Mother...she is indeed very sick. I have never seen a situation where the source of the disease cannot be found. I beg the Emperor to be kind and let the Queen Mother take care of her for the time being. Maybe we can know what's going on."

…”

The imperial doctors knelt on the ground, trembling and kowtowing wildly, fearing that they would be killed by the unreasonable tyrant in front of them.

Chu Lingyue hid at the door of the side hall and quietly looked at the scene over there, and couldn't help but frown.

At that time, I had a lot of close contact with the Empress Dowager Tang when she was checking accounts with her, and I never noticed anything strange about her. Besides, she just fainted due to a sudden rage. How could even the imperial doctor suddenly be helpless?

"Your Majesty, why don't you let Yue'er give it a try? I heard that people who are good at bewitching usually have good medical skills. Maybe she really has some magic prescription?"

Fifth Banquet suggested gently, and after speaking, he patted Chu Yuanhua on the back like he was coaxing a child.

Chu Yuanhua was furious just now, but he became normal after her persuasion.

Chu Lingyue only saw him agree with his hands on his hips, with the word "rice bucket" written all over his face, and his temperament from head to toe was obvious.

Pretending not to hear anything, Chu Lingyue went there with hesitation after Chen Quan came in to invite him.

When she arrived in front of everyone, her first words were: "The Queen thinks highly of me, so I'll give it a try, but in the end I'm a useless person. If you don't think so, please beg the Emperor for me and let me be spared."

"Don't worry about the treatment. No matter what the result is, I will not blame you."

With the words of the fifth banquet, Chu Lingyue no longer hesitated.

But when she checked the Empress Dowager Tang's pulse, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Where did the poison come from in this old woman's body?!

Suppressing her surprise, Chu Lingyue began to investigate the problem in her heart.

After spending such a long time with the Empress Dowager Tang at that time, she didn't notice any of the peculiar smell of Gu insects. Not only that, there was nothing strange about the Empress Dowager Tang at that time.

But judging from the state of the poison in her body, it has been almost half a month since she was poisoned!

Putting away the abnormality, Chu Lingyue asked the person who was serving the Empress Dowager Tang casually: "Where has the Empress Dowager been these days?"

"Returning to Princess Jing, the Queen Mother has some allergic symptoms these days and has basically never left the house. The furthest she went was the day she and the Queen Mother went to Prince Jing's Mansion to deal with the death of Grandma Song.

She has seen only a few people recently. The last time there were so many people in Shoukang Palace was when the eldest lady was summoned to the palace to see her."

Chu Lingyue was heartbroken after receiving this reply.

On the day when the Empress Dowager of the Tang Dynasty came to visit the palace to investigate the charges, she was always present. Even if there were "ghosts" in the palace, it was impossible for her to make any small moves at that time.

Judging from the duration of the poison in the Queen Mother, the detailed time of the poison must be the day when Tang Shiling returned to the palace!

But that day, the only thing she touched and was brought into the palace was that silk handkerchief!

Chu Lingyue let out a breath and closed her eyes.

Once the story of the Queen Mother Tang being poisoned is revealed, she will be suspected immediately. If she explains herself, then after careful consideration, all the fingers will be pointed at herself!

So, someone wants to take this opportunity to frame you!

After biting her tongue hard and spitting out a mouthful of blood, Chu Lingyue made a preemptive move.

When everyone was in panic, they saw her covering her heart and leaning back. When the fifth banquet stepped forward to respond, she cried:

"The Queen Mother, please stay away! There is a poison in the Queen Mother's body that can infect people!"

There was no response at the fifth banquet. Chu Yuanhua jumped back a lot and said, "What's going on!"

"It's all because Yue'er is not good at studying. Not only did he fail to find out what kind of poison is in the Queen Mother's body, but he also contracted it himself... Queen Mother, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Yue'er really doesn't know how to deal with it."

Who is Chu Lingyue? The daughter of Yu Yin who was walking around the whole capital back then! She was also the ruthless Gu mother who became famous in the whole city within a month!

How powerful must a Gu be that even she can't do anything about?!

This time, the fifth banquet was also panicked. While helping Chu Lingyue away from the Empress Dowager Tang's bed, she ordered all the imperial doctors: "Try the secret anti-insect medicine made by the imperial hospital!"

Chu Yuanhua, who had been panicking for a long time, had already jumped outside the door of Shoukang Palace, pulling his neck and shouting: "The Queen Mother's palace is not clean! From today on, no one is allowed to enter or leave Shoukang Palace! Daily designated disinfecting and control!" There must be no mistakes!”

Half a quarter of an hour later, Chu Lingyue, who was taking anti-insect medicine like taking sugar pills, expressed discomfort and said goodbye to the fifth banquet: "Queen, my concubine seems to be feeling a little better now. I want to go back and take a nap first to try."

After hearing this, Wu Yan, who was too busy to do anything else, immediately put aside what he was doing and took her personally to his eunuch to greet her and send her off:

"Yue'er, if you still feel uncomfortable after returning, you must send someone to inform me in time. If I hadn't made my own decision, I wouldn't have made you suffer... Don't be afraid of troublesome me, remember?

"

"Queen, please treat Yue'er well. Yue'er won't blame you. I don't feel there is any problem myself. Maybe I can just take a nap."

Nodding, the Fifth Banquet still felt a little guilty: "By the way, I heard about the incident on the anniversary of Concubine Gu's death, when Concubine Tang and Yun Shuangwan teamed up with outsiders to bully you. They were too wanton. Do you want me to send you a message?

Can someone help you teach them a lesson?"

Chu Lingyue, who insisted on her original intention, naturally declined: "No, there is no need to call in reinforcements to deal with them. Thank you for your concern. There are still so many things waiting for you to deal with in the palace, Yue'er will not hinder you, leave."

Chu Lingyue, who originally planned to go to the soon-to-be-opened medical clinic to inspect and manage it in person, received a signal to track down Qiu Ri's Gu insects as soon as she left the palace.

Skillfully getting rid of the guards, she set off to Guheji as the fourth month of the lunar month.

Guheji is the most mixed-up place in the capital. There is also a black market underneath that sells all sorts of businesses, specializing in businesses that are not allowed to be done by the higher-ups.

There were so many pinholes in Qiu Ri's body and she was in a state of great loss of blood. According to Chu Lingyue's estimation, she must have made some kind of deal with her blood.

Following the tracking Gu all the way to the center of Guheji, Chu Lingyue gradually became uneasy.

Further ahead is the entrance to the black market.

Who did Qiuhi Hui conduct transactions with?

Suddenly, the tracking Gus rushing forward were in chaos at the intersection, bumping into each other as if they were encountering a ghost and hitting a wall.

Immediately afterwards, the strong and special smell of poison came from the crowd on the opposite side!

Tianyuan Gu?!

No wonder the tracking Gus are so abnormal, it turns out they were disturbed by them and lost their direction!

There is actually Tianyuan Gu in such a place? Chu Lingyue was surprised and happy.

Before the source of the poisonous smell could be found, a ragged young man suddenly rushed out of the crowd and was being chased by several people.

The crowd became more crowded in the fluctuation. Chu Lingyue was pushed forward before she could stand still. She was about to fall. The young man pushed away four or five big men with one shoulder, reached out to lend her a hand to help her stand still, and then

Passed by her.

When looking at the young man, Chu Lingyue noticed that the Gu King in her body was connected with him, which made her instantly feel that the young man was asking for help from her!

In order not to expose her identity, she took out voodoo from her soul and sprinkled it on several pursuers who were passing by. The poison took effect in a second and paralyzed their nerves, allowing the young man who was almost caught to escape.

Turning around subconsciously, Chu Lingyue looked back at the young man.

The other party only left a deep gaze and quickly disappeared among the sea of ​​people.

call out!

The sound of cutting through the air flew from her ears. Before Chu Lingyue could react, a lancet was inserted into the brick in front of her feet!

As the pursuers just surrounded her, she finally realized that something was going on.

A clear shadow suddenly appeared, and as soon as Chu Lingyue saw the afterimage, the lancet was pulled out and placed on her neck.

The crowded crowd immediately dispersed, leaving the area quite empty.

It was also at this time that Chu Lingyue recognized the person in front of her.

It's Baili Fenling Mausoleum.

When he wasn't pretending to be sick, he actually had a bit of a Chu Banshi feeling.

"You are so brave, how dare you hinder the Yulong Division from handling the case? Did you know that the person you let go just now was the villain who killed the governor of the nine provinces? Are you his accomplice? Come here, tie her up for me!"

According to Yulong Division's orders, Baili Fengling could kill the woman in front of him on the spot.

But for some reason, he always felt that she was a little familiar.

Knowing that he was chasing the puppet master who controlled Li Daniu, Chu Lingyue frowned, looked at the tracking Gu that had returned to normal and pointed the direction, moved the knife around his neck and said:

"That young man is not the one you really want to arrest. He is suppressed by the Tianyuan Gu and has no way of contacting other Gus."

Seeing Baili Fengling letting people run away like this, several pursuers were so angry that they yelled:

"Don't take us with you if you want! We finally found the puppet master and let him escape. Even his accomplices were let go! The master blamed us and our heads together are not enough for him to chop off!"

Baili Fengling was silent.

He didn't seem to mention that the young man was a puppet master just now. How did the woman know whether this man should be arrested?

Thinking about it, he sheathed the knife and chased her in the direction she had just left.

Out of fear, the tracking Gu that guided Chu Lingyue finally stopped near the entrance of the black market in Guheji, waiting for her to go inside.

However, the black market is not that easy to enter.

There were a total of eight people guarding the entrance. Four were sitting at a table playing cards, two were watching in front of them, and two were chatting. But no matter what they were doing, their eyes would scan the surroundings for review.

If you want to enter, you must show a special token that the black market resets every once in a while.

Because most of the transactions below are not clean, the existence of special tokens is, on the one hand, to prevent the government from sneaking in and causing trouble in disguise, and on the other hand, it is to distinguish sellers and buyers from "blind people".

The so-called "blind people" usually refer to people who have committed crimes and are absconding. Such people can enter and exit the black market at will without showing a special token, but they are not protected by black market regulations.

Those who are incompetent will basically be brutally killed, and those who are capable will be targeted by the bounty hunters inside. If there is a time when the skills are not enough, they will usually end up being torn into pieces. Typically, they can get in but cannot get out.
