Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 434

The Crown Princess was a little panicked. She was afraid that the real murderer found by the Crown Prince was actually her mother. She was also worried that the forgetfulness poison in her body would break out and she would really forget Kang'er, the child she and the Crown Prince had worked so hard to give birth to.

However, the Crown Prince thought that the Crown Princess was afraid and could not find the person who cast the poison, so she forgot about herself and Kang'er, so she held the Crown Princess's hand tightly, as if to give her strength.

"Doctor Wu, do you have any way to find out who put the poison on me?" the prince asked anxiously.

"Gu is different from ordinary poisons. It is generally divided into mother and child Gu, and the one on the Crown Princess is the child Gu. If we want to find out who put the Gu on us, we have to find the mother Gu." Wu Jiu thought for a while and said, but Wu Jiu was thinking that the life-eating Gu was actually more troublesome.

However, the Life-Eating Gu requires a medicinal ingredient, which is the blood of a direct relative, so Wu Jiu did not say it, mainly because he did not know whether he, an outsider, could say this.

"Mother-child Gu, that is to say, the person who is infected with the Gu cannot be a mother Gu, right?" Chu Yuanming quickly thought of a key question.

"You can say that." Wu Jiu thought for a moment and said.

"That is to say, the person who poisoned the Crown Princess and the eunuch are not the same person?" The Crown Prince also put forward his own guess.

"Yeah!" Wu Jiu nodded. Although this answer was cruel, it was the truth.

"Originally, I thought there might be only one person in Miaojiang, but now it seems that there may be more than one." Chu Yuanming said in a deep voice.

The prince then remembered the recent strange phenomena in the capital.

"Your Majesty, when I went to Second Brother's house today, I happened to encounter something. Recently, many children have been lost in the capital." The prince thought of the children they rescued from the dilapidated temple today.

Today, the prince and Chu Haojue went to the caves and ruined temples near the capital, and they actually found the four children who had not been taken away yet.

Those children were all drugged, and I'm afraid they haven't woken up yet.

"A lot of children are missing?" Chu Yuanming frowned, not understanding why so many things had happened in what was once a peaceful and prosperous era.

What is the purpose of the mastermind behind this?

"Yes, most of those children are between six and nine years old. Even the fifth prince's wife's younger brother is missing." The prince said quickly.

"Hurry up and send people out to look for them! Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find out those who are behind this!" Chu Yuanming patted the table lightly.

"Doctor Wu, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with this matter." Chu Yuanming said to Wu Jiu with a heavy face.

Wu Jiu responded respectfully, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best."

At this moment, the Crown Princess suddenly covered her head with her hands, her face showing pain.

The prince hurriedly supported her and called out worriedly, "My beloved, what's wrong with you?"

The Crown Princess bit her lip painfully and said, "Your Highness, I...I'm fine, I just have a headache."

The Crown Prince was extremely anxious and pleaded with Wu Jiu, "Divine Doctor Wu, could you please quickly think of a way to save the Crown Princess?"

Wu Jiu hurried forward to check his pulse. After a moment, he said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will use silver needles to suppress the insect's activity, but this will only provide temporary relief."

As he spoke, he took out a silver needle and began to give acupuncture.

Wu Jiu's heart sank. The Crown Princess's situation was worse than he had imagined.

Doctor Zhang was standing by, and even if he wanted to help, he didn't know where to start.

After all, witchcraft is his weakness.

Outside the palace, in a remote courtyard.

A man in a black robe laughed sinisterly. "Hmph, I bet the palace must be in chaos right now. Tell the people below to find a way to bring back more children. Those children are excellent nutrients. As long as I use their blood to feed my Gu worms, my Gu technique will grow faster. By then, the entire Chu Yuan Kingdom will be under my control."

The little minions beside him said flatteringly, "Master, you are wise, but will the poison in the Crown Princess' body expose us?"

The black-robed man sneered, "It doesn't matter. Even if they find out here, what will happen? By the way, where is the young lady?"

"Master, the young lady is still in the house. However, the Crown Princess is her own flesh and blood after all, and that life-eating poison..." the minion asked again with some embarrassment.

"Hmph, it's not my fault that she doesn't know what's good for her. If she were, and if she could do my job well, why would I put a curse on her?" The man in black robe snorted coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The minions didn't dare to persuade him any further.

In another room, there was a beautiful woman sitting there. Upon closer inspection, she looked somewhat like the Crown Princess.

This person is Min Zhengan’s long-deceased ex-wife Zhou Yan.

The Crown Princess' biological mother.

"Miss, you should eat something, please?" The maid said worriedly as she stood by, holding something.

"Take it away, I don't want to eat it." Zhou Yan's face was cold. When she thought about the fact that her father had put a life-eating poison in her daughter, her heart ached. That was her own daughter.

How could her father be so cruel?

"Miss, the master said that everything has been arranged for the young lady. You don't have to worry." The little maid advised carefully.

"Don't lie to me. How could he be so kind? My poor Ruolan lost her mother when she was young. Now, she has a stepmother and a stepfather. But her biological grandfather wants to murder her. It's me, her mother, who harmed her." After Zhou Yan finished speaking, she began to cry sadly.

That day, she shouldn't have said that she wanted to see Ruolan. That way, her father wouldn't have had the chance to attack her. Thinking of this, Zhou Yan felt infinite regret in her heart.

"Miss, you should know the master's purpose this time. Besides, the master has promised that after the matter is accomplished, he will hand the young lady over to you." The little girl said again.

"Oh, kiss me? Hand over the body to me? I'm afraid that by then, my Ruolan will no longer be here." Zhou Yan said sarcastically.

"But, Miss, why don't you think about it, that young lady's father actually hurt her like this, don't you want to avenge her?" The little maid quickly changed the subject.

"Where is Min Zhengan now?" Zhou Yan clenched her fists. How could she let Min Zhengan go so easily? At the beginning, she left her daughter behind, thinking that Min Zhengan would not treat their daughter badly.

But the fact is, Min Zhengan married a second wife, which is fine. After all, when she left, she never thought that Min Zhengan would stay with her for the rest of his life.

However, he should never have helped his step-wife and his later daughter to harm her daughter.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yan clenched her fists. How could she tolerate those people hurting her daughter?

In particular, she heard that as soon as her daughter gave birth, those people couldn't wait to replace their own children with those in the palace.
