After receiving the pills handed over by Ji Chengchu, Zhao Yan only had a serene expression on his face, and even had a hint of anticipation.On the other hand, the other three were more nervous than one.Zhao Yan only smiled at them comfortingly, and took the medicine.

At the beginning, Zhao Yan was only talking and laughing, but soon he fell asleep.There was only half a moment until he fell unconscious on the couch and his body gradually cooled down.Ji Chengchu immediately took out the silver needle and quickly pricked Zhao Yanzhi's ten fingers, each of which squeezed out a few drops of blood.

He explained to the other three people who were stunned at the same place: "Ten fingers connected to the heart, I am providing an exit for the Gu worm, lest it can't find it by itself, and waste time for nothing."

The three of them nodded in understanding.

Ji Chengchu suddenly felt a little ridiculous.The Imperial Shuangbi and their successors should plan strategies and make decisive decisions, but at this moment they are ignorant like children in the beginning.Concern is not a lie.He was a little envious of Zhao Yanzhi who was unconscious on the couch.Who said that the emperor has no relatives, but there are more people who really care about him than his own relatives.

Ji Chengchu was used to being alone, and when he occasionally felt a little emotional, it immediately faded away.He took out a small crystal bottle, collected half of Zhao Yanzhi's blood, and put it next to the Boshan stove at Zhao Yanzhi's feet.

Zhao Yanzhi's usual incense was burning in the Boshan furnace, and it would not go out until the Gu worms were discharged; the small half bottle of blood was the bait for the Gu worms.Everyone waited silently, only Ji Chengchu yawned, and Shi Shiran walked a little far away and sat down.

Wang Chun came several times to ask them to eat Asr food, but the three of them didn't know it.In the end, Ji Chengchu was full from the wine and food, and brought them back some leftovers, but the three of them ate absent-mindedly.

That's all for Zhao Wangzhi and Gu Shenxing. After all, they spent a long time in the military in their early years, but everyone in Guangming Palace knows how picky Xie Qing is. He also brought him his customary cook.At this moment, Xie Qing took several mouthfuls of a plate of bitter tea that he had never touched before. Ji Chengchu raised his eyebrows, revealing his expression of watching a drama.

Anxiety is useless, as Miracle Doctor Ji said, that kind of Gu worm is not sure whether it is cautious by nature or slow to react, in short, it will not come out until it is sure that the person is completely dead. Generally speaking, it takes five to seven days.After slowly adapting from the initial nervousness, the three began to try to talk about other topics.

"Huaifang, how about Guangling?" Zhao Wangzhi changed the subject a bit abruptly, but he managed to grab Xie Qing's mind.

"Qing has sent people to inform General Wei that the whole army is preparing for war. Once the king of Guangling changes, it will become a siege immediately, and the Guangling garrison will not be allowed to step out of the country!" Xie Qing's voice was deep and firm.

Gu Shenxing nodded approvingly, and said: "Huaifang has done a good job. The servant reported to King Changshan that the Forbidden Palace is safe, and Wei Wei Gu Yan is loyal."

As he spoke, he and Zhao Wangzhi looked at each other and smiled.Zhao Wangzhi said: "That's right. Your son, how can you be wrong. The 18 cavalry here in Changshan are secretly stationed at the border. Once there is a change in Chang'an, they can arrive within three days."

The three of them calculated the strength of their respective troops, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.As a soldier, it is a major matter of the country, so it is natural to do as much as possible to stay still.But if someone is really looking for an opportunity to rebel, there must be enough confidence to restrain the evildoer.

During these days when Zhao Yan was only in suspended animation, Xie Qing was by his side every day.According to Ji Chengchu, just taking medicine is not enough, and the external environment should also create the illusion that the host is dead.Therefore, these days, no one has only wiped Zhao Yan's face and body.Sometimes Xie Qing couldn't help thinking, what a wonderful expression Zhao Yan would have if he only woke up to find himself stinking all over.

On the fourth day of Zhao Yan's feigned death, the Marquis of Chengyang sent a pile of rare medicinal materials and wanted to visit the emperor, but Gu Shenxing found an excuse to stop him from going back.

On the fifth day, the three began to move all government affairs to Zhao Yanzhi's bedroom, wishing they had to stare at him wrongly.Even though Ji Chengchu had said earlier that the Gu worm had lived in Zhao Yanzhi's body for half a year, and there was really little hope of it coming out on the fifth day.

Sure enough, they were disappointed.

The sixth day, the seventh day, is still disappointing.

Now even Ji Chengchu couldn't sit still.It has been seven days, and no matter how dull the Gu worm is, it should come out. People who have been "dead" for so many days do not have enough nutrients in their bodies for it to survive.

Ji Chengchu checked Zhao Yanzhi's hand repeatedly, but there was no trace of Gu worms crawling out; he also checked Zhao Yanzhi's body unwillingly, but there was still no trace!

The three Boshan furnaces emitted curling green smoke, and the strong aroma made Xie Qing feel a headache.However, he couldn't take care of that much anymore, the Gu worms in Zhao Yan's body refused to crawl out, which made him restless.

Gu Shenxing also had a lot of troubles.The emperor did not show up for seven days in a row, and people in the court and the field have already started talking about it.And under the guidance of some deliberate public opinion, these discussions are increasingly developing in a direction that makes Gu Shenxing a headache.

Gu Shenxing, who has been tortured by various emotions such as worry and anxiety for several days, is inevitably irritable and restless when he hears these rumors, but it is far from the point where he is distracted to deal with it.At this time, Gu Shenxing was sitting at home, rubbing his temples, with a sneer on his lips.If the tiger does not show its power, it is inevitable that some young people will forget something.That's okay, when he frees his hand, they will remember it well.

When Zhao Wangzhi came in, he saw a cold smile on Gu Shenxing's face, like a tiger grinding its claws.Based on Zhao Wangzhi's understanding of him, he immediately realized that someone was going to be unlucky again.But he hasn't seen Gu Shenxing showing this expression for a long time, and he really misses it; he has never told anyone that in his opinion, Gu Shenxing looks like a noble and bad-tempered cat , tickling him unbearably.

Zhao Wangzhi walked up to Gu Shenxing with light steps, put down the soup bowl in his hand, replaced the hand that Gu Shenxing was pressing on his temple with his own, and rubbed it lightly.

The two of them have been together for many years, and they are very familiar with each other.Zhao Wangzhi's massage with just the right intensity quickly made Gu Shenxing feel comfortable and drowsy, and the fatigue and bad temper of the past few days disappeared.

"Careful, don't sleep, drink the soup first." Zhao Wangzhi felt the weight leaning on him getting heavier, so he hurriedly woke him up.This person was tired all day and didn't eat anything, and went to sleep without a bowl of soup, and he would feel bad again tomorrow.

Gu Shenxing was very annoyed when someone woke him up when he was about to sleep or not, but he was too tired today, so he really didn't have the energy to lose his temper.Gu Shenxing effortlessly raised his eyelids to glance at Zhao Wangzhi, then nestled into his arms and prepared to continue sleeping.

Zhao Wangzhi shook him up dumbfounded: "Hey, don't be self-willed, at least drink the soup first."

Gu Shenxing was very dissatisfied.During this period of time, he spent almost all day and night in Guangming Palace, exhausted like a cow, and finally had a chance to sleep soundly, but he was woken up one after another, telling him to drink some irrelevant soup.Gu Shenxing frowned while half asleep and half awake, and childishly buried his head deeper into Zhao Wangzhi's arms.

"Big Sima!" It seemed that Gu Shenxing was destined not to be able to sleep today.When Zhao Wangzhi was still hesitating whether to wake him up, eunuch Ling Wang Chun's yelling came from outside the door.

After three dynasties, Wang Chun has always been steady, and it must be a major event that made him lose his composure.Gu Shenxing immediately woke up.

"King Changshan, Da Sima," Wang Chunxi raised his eyebrows, "The Gu worms in the upper body have been discharged!"

When Gu Shenxing and Zhao Wangzhi arrived at Guangming Palace, the servant had already wiped Zhao Yan's body once, changed into clean and fresh clothes, and removed the strong incense from the palace.Ji Chengchu played with interest in the small crystal bottle containing Zhao Yan's blood. The blood in the bottle had long since solidified, and now there was another ugly bug in it.

"Come out? Does that mean I don't need to take that kind of medicine anymore?" Gu Shenxing couldn't wait to see Zhao Yanzhi on the couch as soon as he entered the door, so Zhao Wangzhi had to ask.

Ji Chengchu gave a absent-minded "hmm", and then said to Zhao Wangzhi in a voice that was possessed by a demon, "Look, how beautiful it is."

Zhao Wangzhi suspected that Ji Chengchu didn't know who he was talking to at all; the genius doctor was always interested in strange things, this bug was fat and ugly, and he didn't know what it looked like.Ji Chengchu continued to talk to himself in that enchanted voice: "Look at it's fat, no wonder it lasted so long."

Gu Shenxing played with Zhao Yanzhi for a long time, and finally confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him except that he was unconscious, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Chengchu, where is Huaifang? He knows that the Gu worms on his body have been expelled." ?"

"En. He was here all the time just now. I gave him a bowl of soothing soup, and he fell asleep now." Ji Chengchu put down his precious bottle for the first time, and looked up at the others, "Others are so tired that they can hardly walk. Shake straight."

The Gu worms in Zhao Yanzhi's body finally came out, which cheered up several people.Gu Shenxing sometimes thinks about it carefully, since he returned to Chang'an at Zhao Jing's request, he has not had a comfortable day.What happened this time made him feel that he was really old, and he was a little powerless to do anything.From now on, he was fully expecting that Zhao Yan would wake up quickly; if Zhao Yan woke up one day earlier, he would be able to return to Changshan one day earlier.

Gu Shenxing and Zhao Wangzhi stayed in Guangming Palace again that night.

The first thing Gu Shenxing did when he woke up the next morning was to lose his temper. He said that Zhao Wangzhi shouldn't have called him home yesterday, causing him to make another trip; What soup does he drink.Zhao Wangzhi didn't get angry when he heard it, he just teased: "Keep your voice down, don't let people hear you. If people know that Da Sima is so unreasonable, I have to bother to silence you."

Gu Shenxing glared at him, unconvinced and wanted to say something more, but in the end he didn't open his mouth.
