After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

She felt a little disappointed.

Sure enough, there are still huge conflicts of ideas between them.

At this moment, the feelings that had been gradually warming up in recent times cooled down a little. She would definitely have a good talk with him about this issue some other day.

Even in ancient times, she never thought of giving up her career. She always remembered that she was a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine.

She has studied hard for so many years since she was a child, and has spent so many days and nights memorizing prescriptions and pharmacology. She has learned the skills with great difficulty, and she will not abandon her former self for anyone.

If he can't accept this, then they are destined to go their separate ways.

Lu Jiangnian could see that she was in a low mood. He pursed his lips tightly, feeling a surge of irritation in his heart.

"How to do it?"

He broke the silence between them, feeling that she was somewhat distant from him at this moment, a feeling he really disliked.

Yuan Wanru collected her thoughts and said calmly, "Let's take a look at his eye condition first."

"Open his eyelids."

Professionals will never bring emotions into work.

At this moment, she had only one thought, to find out the reason for Rongshu's death.

Lu Jiangnian didn't say anything else. Following her instructions, Yuan Wanru took a look at Rong Shu's cornea. It was translucent and moderately turbid, but the pupil was still visible.

According to speculation, the time of death is roughly the same as the time originally judged by Xuanqing. Rong Shu died around midnight.

As she expected, the color of the sclera was normal without any dark spots.

"Feel behind his ears. Is there a bump?"

Lu Jiangnian carefully touched the back of both ears: "No."

She pondered for a moment, then took out the Mandarin Duck Lotus ointment and handed it to him: "Cut open his clothes, apply this ointment on Rong Shu's heart, and then stab him in the heart."

There are many people who died suddenly due to Gu, but most of them would cause bleeding from all seven orifices or black spots. Now that Rongshu does not have these characteristics, there are only two possibilities.

There is no bulge behind the ear, so basically there is only a kind of Gu left, which is consistent with his death symptoms.

Heart-eating insect.

The Heart-Eating Gu is a pair of mother and child Gu. The mother Gu has absolute power over the life and death of the child Gu, and is mostly used to control others.

After the sub-parasite enters the human body, it will hide in the heart and is usually in a dormant state. The person who is poisoned will not notice anything unusual.

But once the mother insect is activated, the child insects will gnaw at the host's heart veins and release a toxin similar to an anesthetic, causing the heart to stop beating without the person realizing it.

After the host dies, the young Gu will continue to gnaw on the host's heart. It will take about seven days for it to finish eating the heart and then burst out of the chest. Unless the Gu breeder comes to take it away, it will die quickly.

The child Gu is still alive and is stimulated by the Mandarin Duck Lotus. Once its heart is pierced, it will escape on its own.

Sure enough, not long after, a small, white, wriggling worm crawled out of the wound.

Xuan Qing felt a little numb on his scalp. He was not afraid of soft things like insects, but the thought of such a disgusting thing drilling into his body made him shudder.

Looking at the expressionless Crown Prince's wife, he felt secretly afraid. The wife was indeed not an ordinary person.

Yuan Wanru handed a porcelain bottle to Lu Jiangnian. The bottle contained cinnabar. The poisonous insects liked cinnabar, so putting it in the bottle would prevent it from tearing apart temporarily. There was also cinnabar in the bottle that contained the sleep nightmare poison in the morning.

"Give this bottle to Xuan Huang."

Lu Jiangnian took it and threw the bottle to Xuanqing. Xuanqing almost didn't want to reach out to take it, because there was a horrible insect lying inside!

Under the pressure of the prince's terrifying gaze, he still took the bottle in his hand.

Yuan Wanru recounted the process of how the heart-eating insect killed Rong Shu.

Xuan Qing suddenly realized: "No wonder he died without any signs. In this case, we can't find any clues at all."

Yuan Wanru nodded: "It's really hard to find clues. No one knows when this poison was put into Rong Shu."

Lu Jiangnian pondered for a moment and asked, "How did the Heart-Eating Gu get into Rong Shu's body?"

"There is only one way for the Heart-Eating Gu to enter the body, through the mouth."

"Gu cannot withstand heat, so they are usually placed in liquids like cold tea or cold wine, and enter the body through food."

After listening to this, Lu Jiangnian turned around and instructed Xuan Qing, "Rong Shu is a coward who loves life and fears death. He must not know that he has a Zi Gu in his body. He has been able to deceive people for so many years. He must be a cautious person and must be careful about his diet in every aspect of his daily life."

"The person who could have put the curse on him must be someone he trusts and is close to. Everyone from Yunjian Temple, please go through this carefully."

-

After leaving Yunjian Temple, Yuan Wanru and Lu Jiangnian got on the carriage, neither of them speaking.

Although there are times of silence when the two of them are together, this time, it always makes people feel very depressed.

She lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked into the distance. The autumn wind was blowing, and the originally lush green branches had gradually turned yellow, looking desolate and depressed.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the bustling streets. Pedestrians are hurrying along the road, their expressions either happy or sad, all busy working for their lives.

Once upon a time, she was like this, going to and from get off work in a hurry.

When I was tired, I lamented that I didn’t have a single day of free time, but if I really had nothing to do, I would miss the busy and fulfilling days.

She often feels fortunate that she loves her job, and her pursuit is to love learning and put what she has learned into practice.

It's time for her to think carefully about her future path.

Lu Jiangnian's eyes were always on her. The orange-yellow sunlight fell on her beautiful profile. Her whole body was covered with a halo, blurring her delicate eyebrows and eyes. She looked hazy and beautiful, but out of reach.

She had not once glanced at him since she had boarded the carriage.

No, it should be said that from the moment he refused to let her touch Rongshu's body, she seemed to be covered with a thin veil, and her whole body exuded a vague and distant air.

Was he wrong?

She was his wife, and physical contact between men and women was forbidden. Even though that person was dead, he couldn't convince himself not to care.

Since the goal can be achieved, why must she do it herself?

Lu Jiangnian also felt a little aggrieved. He almost always granted her requests. Was she going to be angry with him just for such a small matter?

He finally couldn't help but speak, trying to grab her attention: "What are you looking at?"

She raised the corners of her lips slightly, her gaze still outside the carriage: "Just taking a look."

What a casual answer.

How could she ignore him like that?

When he was with her, he couldn't bear to look at her less than once, but what about her?

A bitterness spread in his heart, and his voice was filled with inexplicable grievance: "Are you angry with me?"

Yuan Wanru chuckled: "Why should I be angry?"

Lu Jiangnian paused, suppressing the discomfort in his heart, and communicated with her tactfully: "Rong Shu is already dead, why should my lady be affected by his bad luck?"

"I'm used to seeing blood. These things are nothing to me. Now we've figured out the cause of Rongshu's death, right? Why do you mind?"

Yuan Wanru didn't want to discuss this issue with him now, but since he insisted on bringing it up, she should let him understand her attitude.
