Chapter 843 I die, she lives
Chapter 843 I die, she lives
When Liang Yanbing arrived at the Imperial Hospital, Shen Siyuan and Zhuo Qiran were both there.
Both of them looked unhappy.
When Shen Siyuan saw Liang Yanbing coming in, he immediately stood up and asked, "Did you detect the princess's pregnancy?"
Liang Yanbing hesitated for a moment, still cautious, "I'm actually not as good as Madam Meng at gynecological examinations. If she said she's pregnant, then she must be pregnant."
This! It's as good as saying nothing.
Shen Siyuan's face darkened when he heard this, and he sat back in his chair dejectedly, "What if it's not? What if it's not a happy pulse, but... a fate-defying child and mother Gu?"
When he said this, his eyes turned to Zhuo Qiran.
Zhuo Qiran was silent.
After a long while, he said, "Don't look at me. It was the Prince Consort who came to me that day."
It turned out that the princess was in a coma for several days that year and never woke up.
Everyone tried everything they could to wake the princess up, but none of them worked. Finally, the princess' husband came to ask him if there was any way.
Zhuo Qiran initially said no, but later, under the pressure of the prince consort, he changed his words and said yes.
Yes, but he only used it once in his life. That time was because one party had been in a coma for several years, and the other party later used the mother Gu to wake up the child Gu to wake him up.
He explained the principle in detail to the prince consort. The mother Gu and the child Gu were made through special Gu techniques, and there was a spiritual resonance between the two, similar to telepathy.
The mother Gu can sense slight changes in the carrier through the child Gu, including emotions and physical condition.
After listening to it, the prince consort only said, "It's good to have used it, at least it shows that it can be successful."
Zhuo Qiran added that the thing was very expensive and could not be bought with just a few coins.
It costs tens of thousands of gold to refine a pair of poisonous insects. Zhuo's ancestors were also very wealthy, but who would have thought that when they came into Zhuo Qiran's hands, he would ruin them.
Everyone in the Zhuo family blames him.
In his early years, he was scolded by his family members and went crazy. He had no choice but to sell a pair of mother and child Gu in exchange for a lot of silver, which calmed the resentment of the Zhuo family.
Later, he couldn't help it and made another pair, and he was reluctant to sell them.
There is only one pair. He swore never to practice again.
The son-in-law answered him that money was not a problem.
Zhuo Qiran asked again, "Who will be the carrier of the mother Gu?"
The prince consort didn't hesitate, "I."
Zhuo Qiran continued to ask, "Do you want to use the Life and Death Mother Gu, or the Fate-Defying Mother Gu?"
The so-called life and death means that when the mother Gu carrier dies, the child Gu carrier also dies; vice versa, the same happens.
However, the mother-child Gu of the reverse fate is different. If the child Gu carrier dies, the mother Gu carrier will also die. However, if the mother Gu carrier dies, the child Gu carrier will not be affected.
At that time, Zhuo Qiran was afraid that the prince consort would not understand these twists and turns, so he explained them several times.
The prince consort said, "I understand. Even if I die, the princess will not die. But if the princess dies, I must die. Is that what you mean?"
Zhuo Qiran knew from these words, "The Prince Consort wants to choose the Fate-Defying Gu?"
The prince consort nodded and joked, "So you can just choose randomly?"
Zhuo Qiran has always been proud of this, "Others can't do it, but I can."
But in this world, who would choose the fate-defying Gu?
It only benefits others and not yourself.
The more you love someone, the more you hope that the other person belongs to you alone.
It was at this time that Zhuo Qiran began to look at his son-in-law with new eyes.
Even if the prince consort had once swung his pole to take revenge on the Wan people on the polo field, or defeated the archery god in the archery competition, it would not be as shocking as this moment.
What kind of touching divine friendship can make people choose "I die and she lives"?
Moreover, most friendships will fade with the passage of time and will no longer be what they were originally.
Just like the mother-child Gu he sold in his early years, it became a means for the couple to perish together. This made Zhuo Qiran angry and helpless.
He once swore that he would never make the mother-child Gu for anyone again.
But the prince consort made him unable to refuse. It was the prince consort's majestic aura like a king and his deep love for his wife that made him agree.
Afterwards, the mother Gu entered the body of the prince consort, and the son Gu entered the body of the princess.
Then the princess was successfully awakened.
There were five people who knew about this matter: the prince consort, Zhuo Qiran, Liang Yanbing, Shen Siyuan, and Emperor Mingde.
Emperor Mingde was against it at first because the mother-child Gu was too dangerous.
One person's life and death depends on another person. Once this secret gets out, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Emperor Mingde was even worried that Zhuo Qiran might do something else with the Gu, and he bluntly asked Zhuo Qiran to act as a guarantor.
Although Zhuo Qiran was very sad that Emperor Mingde did not trust him, he accepted that Shen Siyuan had poisoned him.
The poison has no effect on normal days, but once the princess and her husband are controlled by Zhuo Qiran, Shen Siyuan will use poison to control him.
Zhuo Qiran didn’t understand why Emperor Mingde cared so much about the prince consort and the princess, and trusted Shen Siyuan so much. He didn’t understand why he couldn’t trust himself a little?
He would always remember the look in Emperor Mingde's eyes when he looked at him. It was hard to describe. It was as if he had done something terrible.
Liang Yanbing said solemnly at this time, "Even if the pulse of the person who was poisoned is no different from that of a pregnant woman, so what? Now that Madam Meng has insisted that the princess is pregnant, at least the princess is happy."
"It will be exposed sooner or later." Shen Siyuan stroked his forehead, exhausted, "With the princess's keenness, she will definitely be suspicious."
"Since she's suspicious, just tell her the truth." Liang Yanbing didn't think this was a big deal.
“No.” Shen Siyuan couldn’t explain why the princess was not infected by the Heartless Gu, but might be affected by it. “Anyway, the princess seems to be emotionally stable now, but that’s because she is relying on her strong willpower to barely get by…”
Once she knew that her every move could determine the life or death of her husband, how cautious would she have to be every day?
She was already very tired, and Shen Siyuan didn't dare to bet that adding one more thing would crush her will.
Zhuo Qiran noticed something strange and asked abruptly, "Why? Has she been poisoned by another Gu before?"
"No." Sweat broke out on Shen Siyuan's forehead.
He must keep to himself the words that Emperor Mingde told him, and not let out a single word.
Zhuo Qiran lost interest, stood up, and said coldly, "You don't believe me, but you still want to find me. There's no need to do that in the future!"
Before he left, he stopped to explain, "The pulse of a person who has been poisoned is similar to that of a pregnant woman, so what? I don't know why you are panicking. At worst, you can tell the princess that it was Madam Meng who made a wrong diagnosis. It's nothing more than that you can't have a child, so why rush? My poison will not devour the essence and blood of a woman and her fetus just because she is pregnant. Not only that, it will protect them from danger."
After hearing this, Shen Siyuan finally felt relieved.
That’s right, he was worried that the Zi Gu would devour the fetus’s essence and blood to feed itself.
The second was that he was worried that if there was no fetus at all, the princess would be very disappointed.
The princess was like a broken string, and now with the help of the fetus she has managed to regain some of her energy and spirit.
Then tell her that it was a mistake. Wouldn't this make the princess fall down?
If the princess can't breathe, the prince consort will have to... This is a series of reactions. As an insider, how can Shen Siyuan not be nervous?
Regardless of whether there was a pregnancy pulse or not, he was worried.
