The insect looked like an elongated squid, with a long body and a head full of slender tentacles.
At this moment, it was wrapped around Li Rong's hand, and he was waving those terrifying tentacles with all his teeth and claws.
Li Rong was so frightened that he screamed, but was silenced by Yun Jiutang's words.
"Shut up! Otherwise I'll crawl into your mouth!"
Li Rong and everyone else immediately shut their mouths.
Even Mu Mingchao, who had regained his composure, ignored his nausea and desperately covered his dislocated mouth with both hands.
In the silence, the insect suddenly rushed towards Yun Jiutang.
"Princess, be careful!" Hua Ying rushed forward immediately, but saw the insect wrapped around her hand.
Immediately afterwards, there was a stinging pain in the palm of his hand, Huaying groaned, and instantly fell to the ground weakly.
"Hua Ying!" Li Rong's expression suddenly changed and he stepped forward quickly.
Huaying's martial arts is so strong that he can't even stop her, which shows how powerful this insect is!
"Get out of the way!" Yun Jiutang scolded him coldly, then raised his foot and kicked him to one side.
Then, she suddenly grabbed a handful of white powder and sprinkled it.
The insect instantly rolled in pain and fell from Huaying's hand.
Yun Jiutang quickly stepped forward and sprinkled a handful of powder on Huaying's palm.
Hua Ying's face turned pale in pain, but she remained silent.
"Be patient!" Yun Jiutang said, and when he was about to scatter it again, the insect rushed towards Grandma Gui.
"Ah ah ah -" Aunt Gui screamed repeatedly, ignoring the pain of her broken finger, and ran away.
The insect seemed to have identified her and kept chasing after her.
Aunt Gui tripped and fell instantly.
The insect crawled towards her palm with its claws and fangs, and when she saw that it was about to bite her, she started rolling and running again.
"Close the door! Don't let her escape!" Yun Jiutang gave an order, and the courtyard door was slammed shut.
"What's going on?" Everyone was surprised.
"Because Aunt Gui has the same catalytic medicine as me in her hands!" Yun Jiutang spread out his hands, and the palms of his hands were dark, with the pungency of garlic showing through them. "Just in case, I I applied garlic paste in advance.”
Everyone pinched their noses, not knowing what was happening.
Li Rong, who reacted faster, quickly wiped away the remaining residue in the garlic bowl.
"You don't have to worry!" Yun Jiutang said, "It's us who should worry!"
Yun Jiutang raised his hand and pointed at himself, Huaying, and Aunt Gui.
At this time, the insect had got into the palm of Nanny Gui's hand, and she fell to the ground in a miserable state like a puddle of mud.
At this point, the bugs were still trying to get into her skin.
The palm of her hand was bitten and bled, but she seemed unconscious.
But the whole person was curled up on the ground, making some spicy noises.
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help showing expressions that were hard to explain.
It was Mu Mingchao who was the first to regain his composure and said angrily: "Stop her mouth!"
Otherwise, people who don’t know the truth would think that Tinglan Garden is some weird place!
Several people stepped forward cautiously, but they were still afraid of the terrible insects.
"I'll do it!" Yun Jiutang said, quickly stepped forward and sprinkled a handful of powder on the insects.
The insect struggled again and fell off from Aunt Gui's hand.
Aunt Gui's face was flushed at this time, and her whole body was soaked with sweat.
She was curled up on the ground, breathing heavily, and she was in an extremely miserable state.
At the same time, Yun Jiutang pinned the troublesome Gu insect to the ground with a few silver needles.
Then, a circle was drawn around it with powder.
"This...is this the Gu insect?" Li Rong was still frightened.
"kindness."
"What did the princess use to deal with this Gu insect just now?"
"Salt!"
"Salt?!"
Everyone was really surprised.
"Yes!" Yun Jiutang said, "This kind of Gu is afraid of salt. As long as you sprinkle salt, it will melt like earthworms and leeches."
At this time, Mu Mingchao, who had reinstalled his chin, ignored the burning pain in his body and walked forward quickly and said: "My king... I... I haven't cleaned up yet! Second Emperor's Wife, How about I take another jar of salt?”
"No need!" Yun Jiutang stopped him, "The poison has been removed. Drink more water and rinse your mouth!"
I saw that he was in a mess and smelled like garlic.
Yun Jiutang added: "Take a shower by the way!"
After this episode, Mu Mingchao cheered up again.
"What happened just now? Sister-in-law of the Second Emperor, please explain it quickly!" Mu Mingchao was very curious at this time, and the others also looked expectantly.
Yun Jiutang did not speak, but took Hua Ying's hand and said humbly: "I'm sorry Hua Ying, I made you suffer."
Huaying's face turned red and she quickly said: "The princess has spoken seriously! It is the subordinate's responsibility to protect the princess! Besides, the subordinate was not injured."
It was just a bite wound on the palm of my hand, as if it was a joke.
Yun Jiutang shook his head and sighed: "No! I had already guessed that this insect would attack you, but I didn't take any measures in advance. I hope you won't blame me!"
Yun Jiutang looked sincere, so Huaying naturally wouldn't blame her.
These people were born to serve the Lord.
As long as their master gives the order, they will die without hesitation.
Now she was just bitten on the palm of her hand, and Yun Jiutang rescued her in time without any consequences, so there was really no need to worry about it.
Moreover, she actually apologized to her for such a trivial matter, which made Huaying feel an indescribable feeling in her heart.
"Sister-in-law of the Second Emperor, stop being so secretive! Come on, tell me!"
"As I said before, the poisonous poison in your body will not show any toxicity when it exists alone, and it will not cause any harm. But as long as it comes into contact with the catalytic drug, it will activate its poison! I, Huaying, and Gui Grandma's hands are contaminated with that catalytic drug!" Yun Jiutang said.
"Ah? Why?"
"How did the princess get infected?" Li Rong was also confused.
"I have been thinking about this question. It was not until just now that I saw the Gu insect chasing Aunt Gui that I was finally sure! The medicine we were contaminated with came from Princess Huaiyu's whip!" Yun Jiutang said. As soon as the words came out, Aunt Gui's expression changed.
Everyone in the house knows that Mu Anli is looking for trouble today.
Coupled with the scene just now, everyone believed her story almost instantly.
"An Li? Why would she do this!" Mu Mingchao was shocked and angry.
"It may not be the princess's handiwork. She may have been used by others." Yun Jiutang said, "This kind of poisoning method is really hidden and insidious, not to mention whether she has the brains. Even if she does, doing so would be harmful to her. There’s no benefit! If you want to investigate, you have to start with the Gu worms!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xing'er fell to the ground and started wailing, clutching her stomach.
"It's her! It must be her! She has the opportunity and the motive!" Mu Ming's teeth itched with anger.
After all, Xing'er had a grudge against Yun Jiutang, and she was a person serving in Tinglan Garden.
"The time for burning incense has come, why don't you tell me who is behind the scenes?" Yun Jiutang said coldly, "If you delay any longer, you will be gutted!"
Before Xing'er could say anything, Aunt Gui said, "Why does the princess know the art of witchcraft? Is this a trick of yours to deliberately take revenge on the old slave by shouting to catch the thief?"
"Who do you think you are? It's worth all this trouble! I know more because I'm more knowledgeable! Don't use your knowledge to define others!" Yun Jiutang sneered coldly, "Also, this Gu insect can only... Into the mouth! Therefore, Prince Jin, there must be something wrong with your food! And who is in charge of this place? Who has come into contact with it? Your Majesty, you'd better check it out!"
"It's her! It must be her!" Mu Mingchao pointed at Xing'er and said, "It was you who poisoned me! Do you know that according to the law, this is a serious crime of exterminating a family!"
"This slave doesn't know! This slave is unjust!" Xing'er was sweating coldly, with tears streaming down her face, "These meals are all... all prepared by... Grandma Gui!"
After saying that, she didn't even dare to look at Aunt Gui's expression, she just lowered her head and sobbed.
"You bitch! You are slanderous! This is simply ridiculous!" Aunt Gui argued hastily, "Your Highness, please don't listen to her words! Not to mention that the old slave was entrusted by the empress to manage the palace!
Just say, Your Highness, you are an old slave who has watched you grow up! How the old slave treats His Highness, God can tell you! Even if I kill the old slave, it is impossible for the old slave to murder His Highness!
This meal was indeed prepared by the old slave, but the old slave only asked the kitchen to prepare it according to your highness’s taste! The old slave doesn’t know what’s going on! "
Concubine Zhuang always favored her younger son, and Mu Mingchao often went to Huarong Palace to play around since he was a child.
Therefore, what Aunt Gui said about watching him grow up is true and is not an exaggeration.
Her crying and crying brought back some warmth from Mu Mingchao.
"I am willing to believe that Aunt Gui, you will not harm me." Mu Ming said, "But don't you think this coincidence is too much? How should you explain the catalytic drug in your hands? "
Every detail has her handiwork, even Myolie was arranged by her, it’s hard not to think too much!
"I don't know! I'm wronged too! I will never murder Your Highness!" Aunt Gui burst into tears and suddenly pointed at Xing'er and said, "It's her! It must be her! That whip, she I’ve touched it before!”
Xing'er's face turned pale with fright, and she immediately shook her head wildly.
However, Aunt Gui got up with difficulty, pointed at her and accused: "Myolie, I treat you very well! Your Majesty treats you very well! Why do you want to harm me like this, and even plot to kill His Highness the King of Jin! If your family is like Quan If I know better, I'm afraid I'll die with my eyes open!"
Hearing this, Xing'er was stunned for a moment.
The next moment, she closed her eyes tightly and let out a low whimper.
When she opened her eyes again, she had a look of determination on her face.
"This slave was confused for a moment. I'm sorry for your Majesty! I'm sorry for Your Highness! I'm going to die to apologize!" As she said that, she suddenly pulled out the hairpin on her head, stabbed her heart hard with trembling hands.
