With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 968 The Frail Heiress 13
Unable to obtain any results from the examination, Ling Anmin suggested that the child might be under the influence of a curse, so the hospital did not recommend that Lian Yang and her son try the medication.

It will take some time to get the Holy Gu Clan to come and help with the examination, so Lian Yang and his mother will have to wait.

After resting at the hotel for half a day, Meng Xuan arrived.

"I've already asked my cousin, and he's already notified the people from the Holy Gu Clan. They should be sending someone over in the next couple of days. We'll meet at my cousin's house then."

Since it is very likely to be a Gu technique, the Holy Gu Clan naturally takes it seriously. My cousin said that the Holy Gu Clan is going to send important people to check the situation. They are all experts in Gu techniques within the clan.

After some questioning, Meng Xuan learned that such magical arts as Gu poison truly existed in this world. However, his cousin warned him that it was best not to use such things unless absolutely necessary. Of course, it was fine to use those remedies that wouldn't harm anyone.

However, when it comes to Gu techniques, there are always advantages and disadvantages, gains and losses, and now the Holy Gu Clan members will not easily use them outside.

Because the communication time was short, my cousin didn't say anything more to him.

Meng Xuan wasn't in a hurry; if he wanted to ask, there would be plenty of opportunities.

He's a member of the Meng family after all, so it's natural for him to want to know; he just hadn't paid attention to it before.

"Fourth brother, thank you." Lian Yang's voice sounded very weak. Although he had ulterior motives, he still had to say the polite words.

Meng Xuan smiled and said, "We're all in the same dorm, so let's not talk about those things. Seeing you suddenly get so sick has really touched me. I hope we can resolve this issue this time."

"If it really is Gu magic, have you had any special experiences before?" Meng Xuan asked. "I asked my cousin, and it seems that if someone has Gu poisoned, they either have a wound or they eat it directly. After all, the purpose of Gu poisoning is to catch people off guard and not let them know."

Lian Yang thought about it seriously this time, then shook his head.

He hadn't broken any skin in the past few months. Thinking back to when he planted the Gu worm in Xia Zhen, he realized that he really hadn't been vaccinated in the past few months.

As for eating, people eat every day, so if someone gets infected with a curse using this method, it's really impossible to determine who it is.

"Alright, don't worry. My cousin said the Holy Gu Clan is very powerful; they should be able to detect any Gu. Even if it's not, they might still find something unusual. Once they find the problem, all that's left is to solve it," Meng Xuan reassured him.

"Hmm." Lian Yang wasn't worried at all. With his mother around, he wouldn't die.

All this fuss is because his mother wants to see those old acquaintances beforehand. They'll be rivals in the future, so it's good for them to get to know each other now and become familiar faces, so they can launch a surprise attack later.

Meng Xuan is a decent person, good to his friends, but what can you do when the other party is a member of the Meng family?
From the very beginning, his intention was to use Meng Xuan to understand the situation of the Ling and Meng families, and that will not change.

At most, if he achieves his goal and Meng Xuan isn't persistent, he won't go so far as to kill him out of consideration for today.

"Is this your first time in Beijing?" Meng Xuan asked, turning his gaze to Azhen. "If you're interested, I'll show you around tomorrow. It's not easy to come all this way. Especially Aunt Yun, she's been on edge these past few days. Health problems will always be resolved, and it's good for her to relax."

"The most important thing is how well your second brother is doing, and whether you can handle it."

In fact, after observing Lian Yang for so many days, it was clear that his condition had not worsened and had remained the same, which is why Meng Xuan made that suggestion.

Being under constant pressure and tension isn't good. Going out for a walk might help.
Azhen and Yun Xiuzi both looked at Lian Yang, clearly letting him make the decision.

Azhen didn't care; it didn't matter where she watched the show. As for Yun Xiuzi, of course she had to play the role of a good mother who cared about her son and focused on him.

Lian Yang had been going to the hospital a lot these past few days, and to be honest, he was quite frustrated. When Meng Xuan suddenly made that suggestion, he was actually tempted.

With his mother around, he'll get better sooner or later, so there's nothing to worry about. Going out for a walk and seeing other scenery can definitely help him relax. Anyway, he's in a wheelchair, so he doesn't have to exert any effort.

Staying in a hotel is even more depressing; this kind of life is really tasteless.

"Then let's go for a walk," Lian Yang said.

The next day, accompanied by Meng Xuan, the group took a stroll around.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Yun Xiuzi had been secretly cultivating the Life and Death Gu these past few nights. She had been making preparations ever since she learned of Lian Yang's situation.

Who would have thought that this seemingly honest and unassuming middle-aged woman, whose face was full of worry for her son's illness, was actually a master of witchcraft?
On the third day, Meng Xuan came to the hotel to pick up Azhen and the others to go to the Ling family. He said that the people of the Holy Gu Clan had arrived at the Ling family the night before, and they could go there at dawn.

"Aunt Yun, don't be too nervous. Just think of it as seeing a doctor." Meng Xuan noticed that Yun Xiuzi's mood was a bit off and assumed she was too nervous, so he offered a few words of reassurance.

Little did anyone know, Yun Xiuzi was a little excited. Usually calm, she was about to see an old friend, and it was inevitable that she would find it difficult to control her emotions.

Given the current situation, she's not afraid to show some of her emotions; it would be abnormal if she didn't have any.

Over the years, she has also been studying Gu poison.

Sooner or later, she will take back everything that belongs to her.

Her talent in Gu magic was unmatched by anyone except the clan leader.

The clan leader is so much older than her; he'll die sooner or later. Even if they possess the Life-and-Death Gu, given the clan leader's old-fashioned and rigid thinking, he probably wouldn't use it, much less let anyone else use it. And what's this talk about the Life-and-Death Gu being a forbidden technique? How could something so useful be forbidden? If used properly, why worry about the Holy Gu Clan not growing stronger?

It is because of a clan leader like Miao Xiang that the Holy Gu Clan is so passive. They have such powerful methods, yet they still have to be controlled. Don't they feel frustrated?
If she hadn't been clever enough to secretly memorize the cultivation techniques of the Life and Death Gu, such a wonderful Gu technique would probably have been lost.

"Aunt Yun, are you alright?" A-Zhen held Yun Xiuzi's arm, and could feel the excitement emanating from the other's trembling flesh.

Yun Xiuzi shook her head, her face pale: "It's nothing, I'm just worried."

"Don't worry, there will definitely be results this time, and Lian Yang will be fine," A-Zhen comforted him.

Yun Xiuzi nodded, but when she lowered her eyes, a hint of indifference flashed in them.

Her son will be fine, of course; now they're just waiting for the Life-and-Death Gu to be cultivated. She needs to find some time to choose a suitable mate for her son. She definitely can't choose one at Qing City University; that would easily attract attention.

Naturally, they couldn't go to the capital to choose, as this place was close to the Ling and Meng families, and it would be easy to expose their scheme.

Go to the more remote villages. The young men there are strong and healthy, but the conditions are poor, and they don't have the money to treat their health problems, so they won't go to big hospitals for checkups.

Ling family.

Meng Xuan led Azhen and the others out of the car, and then the Ling family's butler led them inside.

There were three people sitting in the living room: a middle-aged couple and a thin young man with skin so white that his veins were clearly visible. He looked to be the same age as Azhen Mengxuan and the others.

"This is my cousin, Ling Huan." Meng Xuan quickly introduced him to Azhen and the others. "This trip to the hospital for the check-up was all arranged by my cousin."
