"What?"
Luo Mu Chen was surprised.
Everyone was.
Only Duan Xi Feng and Xiao Yi Hao, who had been by Gu Qian Ying's side for a long time, knew what Gu Qian Ying meant by this.
These two went to Du Qing Yue, who had already died from poisoning. The smaller one squatted down and skillfully took out silver needles from his small medicine box.
Xiao Yi Hao used several silver needles to prick several major acupoints on Du Qing Yue's head.
Just as his mother stood up, he had already noticed his mother feeding a pill to Miss Du.
From this, he judged that his mother wanted to save Miss Du.
At the same time.
Duan Xi Feng also grabbed the figure who was trying to escape in the crowd when Magistrate Yang arrived.
Du Yu Hang!
"Why are you grabbing me? What right do you have to grab me! Let me go!"
"I'm grabbing you to find out why Miss Du died of poisoning, and what right I have to grab you is because you are the murderer who poisoned Miss Du!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Du Yu Hang's face changed drastically.
"You... you're slandering me! How could I poison my own little sister?"
Du Yu Hang roared, but his guilty conscience was noticed by Gu Qian Ying beside him.
"Impossible? Heh?"
Duan Xi Feng sneered.
He remained silent, but turned to Gu Qian Ying and asked with his eyes what to do next.
In fact, he didn't know the reason.
It was his young lady who had winked at him and told him to catch Du Yu Hang who was trying to escape.
At this moment, Magistrate Yang was also bewildered.
However, the leading constable kneeling at his feet panicked.
On the other side, Luo Mu Chen, who maintained his elegant demeanor, cast his gentle gaze on Gu Qian Ying. Seeing her confident expression, he turned his eyes to Xiao Yi Hao, who was still applying needles to Miss Du.
He slowly walked closer and looked at Xiao Yi Hao's skillful needling technique.
"Could it be auricular acupuncture therapy?"
His words confused everyone.
However... those present with decent medical skills exclaimed in surprise.
"Auricular acupuncture therapy? It is rumored that this method of inserting silver needles into acupoints has been lost for a long time. How can anyone in this world still know it?"
As soon as the words fell.
Among the famous physicians present, someone pointed at Xiao Yi Hao with an incredulous expression.
"Look... what is that?"
Everyone followed the direction of the finger and was shocked.
At this time, black blood was flowing out of both ears of Miss Du, and several dead scabies worms rolled out from between her ears.
Small white worms, like rice grains, entered everyone's sight.
"Acupoints: Lung, Occiput, Endocrine, Adrenal, Ah Shi point. Single ear needle insertion, alternating ears. Rotate three times in this step. Each needle insertion must be steady and fast."
Luo Mu Chen's gentle voice came from above.
Xiao Yi Hao, who was applying needles, clearly felt that although his technique was accurate, his child's strength was small, and it was a bit strenuous to apply the second needle.
Auricular acupuncture therapy not only requires needling but also guiding the toxins in the body into the ears through the internal organs, and the direction of flow from the ears.
Xiao Yi Hao's forehead began to sweat.
His small fingers, which were applying needles, trembled slightly.
Gu Qian Ying noticed this, frowned, and wanted to step forward to help.
But someone was one step faster than her, squatting beside Xiao Yi Hao.
The backs of two small hands suddenly felt warm. Two large hands grabbed his small wrists, stopping his trembling: "It's okay."
Xiao Yi Hao looked sideways at Luo Mu Chen in a daze.
Auricular acupuncture therapy.
Luo Mu Chen smiled back at him: "Continue."
Instantly, Xiao Yi Hao gained confidence. He nodded.
Beside him, the physicians present gradually fell silent. They slowly gathered around.
Everyone stared intently at Luo Mu Chen holding Xiao Yi Hao and their needling techniques.
Today was the registration day for the medical competition at the Poisonous Doctor's Sacred Hall.
Except for those who were just trying to gain fame and some young ladies disguised as men who came to see the medical god Luo Mu Chen.
There were quite a few medical students present. At this moment, they were all focused on watching, as if they were no longer afraid of the contagious disease that Miss Du had contracted.
Gu Qian Ying stood in place.
She quietly watched the backs of Luo Mu Chen and Xiao Yi Hao, one big and one small.
Luo Mu Chen held Xiao Yi Hao in his arms. From behind him, Xiao Yi Hao could not be seen, but from Gu Qian Ying's line of sight, she could see very clearly.
A gentle breeze blew.
Suddenly, she remembered that when Xiao Yi Hao was one year old, the first word he uttered was "Daddy," not "Mommy."
At that time, her heart suddenly ached.
She had no memory of Xiao Yi Hao's father, only knowing that his name was Nangong Mo.
Over the years, there had always been a vague figure in her mind.
But she always felt that the person who often appeared in her mind was Xiao Yi Hao's father, Nangong Mo.
However, she had no idea what Nangong Mo looked like or where he was.
And the lost memories told her through people around her that during the war between the Empire and the Imperial Dynasty, she had suffered severe injuries, which caused her to lose some memories.
When her son Xiao Yi Hao was three years old, he was once listening to stories with her in a teahouse.
She saw a man playing with his young son downstairs.
The child kept calling out "Daddy."
This made Xiao Yi Hao, who was sitting beside her, very envious, and he cried and asked her for a father.
No matter how she coaxed him, she couldn't comfort Xiao Yi Hao.
Finally, she lost her temper, scolded Xiao Yi Hao, and told him that his father was dead.
Later, Xiao Yi Hao stopped crying and fussing. In the following years, Xiao Yi Hao never asked her for a father again.
Over the years, Xiao Yi Hao had become much more sensible.
But she knew that Xiao Yi Hao would still want a father.
Perhaps, the person in front of her could be a good father for Xiao Yi Hao?
This absurd thought arose.
"Quick, look... Miss Du, she... she's come back to life!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed, bringing Gu Qian Ying back to her senses.
"Miss! You... you're alive!"
The little maidservant cried out in surprise again.
She looked blankly at the person who sat up from the ground.
"I... what happened to me? What happened?"
Du Qing Yue looked around at everyone, a little confused.
She only remembered that after being hit on the head by a child, her body started to itch unbearably. While scratching, she lost consciousness.
After the needling was finished, Xiao Yi Hao put the silver needles back into his small medicine box, turned around, and burrowed into Luo Mu Chen's arms, letting him hold him.
After what had just happened, he suddenly felt that Uncle Luo was very kind, and he really wanted to recognize this Uncle Luo as his father.
Seeing Du Qing Yue come back to life with his own eyes, Du Yu Hang's eyes showed more panic, but outwardly, he still put on a face of surprise and joy.
"Little sister, it's great that you're alive."
"Yes, it's indeed great, so great that all your plans have fallen through."
Gu Qian Ying walked towards Du Yu Hang with cold eyes.
Everyone didn't quite understand what she said.
But Du Yu Hang understood, yet he pretended to be confused: "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Heh!"
Gu Qian Ying smiled.
Everyone looked at her.
Magistrate Yang also said confusedly: "Miss, why do you say that?"
"If you want to clarify this matter, we still need to invite Miss Du's parents here."
Gu Qian Ying played coy.
Magistrate Yang glanced at Luo Mu Chen, wanting to ask for his opinion.
Luo Mu Chen was someone the palace had specifically requested to protect.
Such an important person, he naturally dared not offend.
"Magistrate Yang, since this young lady can say this, it is likely that this young lady has already seen some clues about Miss Du's poisoning. It is not impossible to invite Miss Du's parents here."
Luo Mu Chen spoke for Gu Qian Ying.
Xiao Yi Hao lay in his arms, seeming very tired, as if he had fallen asleep.
Gu Qian Ying glanced at Luo Mu Chen, walked towards him, and reached out: "Thank you, give him to me."
Luo Mu Chen gently patted Xiao Yi Hao's back, his voice very gentle: "It's alright, let me hold him like this, and let the little bun have a good sleep."
Little bun?
Gu Qian Ying raised an eyebrow.
Her son's nickname... is really vulgar.
Since Magistrate Yang had agreed to find the Du couple,
He sent people to look for them.
Before the two subordinates left, Gu Qian Ying instructed them: "Just say that Miss Du had an accident at the Poisonous Doctor's Sacred Hall, and don't say too much else."
Although the two constables were suspicious, they nodded and did as they were told.
Soon, the Du couple arrived together.
Master Du wore a loose green robe, was not tall, was a bit plump, had a square face, and a little beard on his chin.
Madam Du wore plain clothes, without many ornaments, and had an ordinary appearance.
When the Du couple arrived, they were followed by the steward of the mansion, two maids, and a guard.
The two bowed upon seeing Magistrate Yang, then turned and saw Du Qing Yue being supported by the little maidservant.
Master Du's eyes showed surprise, and Madam Du, with red eyes, walked over and hugged Du Qing Yue.
After learning that Du Qing Yue was fine, Madam Du was relieved.
The two then listened to Magistrate Yang recount the events.
Madam Du, with red eyes, said nothing, just hugged Du Qing Yue.
Master Du, however, kept looking at Luo Mu Chen several times.
And said: "Magistrate Yang, Yu Hang is my son, and Qing Yue is his sister. He would never poison his sister. This matter might be a misunderstanding. Since my daughter is fine, your humble servant will take my daughter and my son back."
Master Du stated his attitude.
Magistrate Yang said nothing, turned to look at Luo Mu Chen.
"Let go quickly!"
Du Yu Hang angrily rebuked Duan Xi Feng, trying to shake him off.
But Duan Xi Feng pressed his shoulders, preventing him from moving.
Without his young lady's word, he naturally could not let go.
"Gui Xiang, Chen Pi, Goji, Bai Zhu... It seems that Master Du was drinking nourishing medicinal cuisine at home just now."
Gu Qian Ying blocked Master Du's path and circled him.
Smelling the faint medicinal scent emanating from him, Gu Qian Ying said in a clear and cold voice.
Master Du's surprised expression instantly returned to normal. He smiled and stroked his beard, praising: "This young lady has a good sense of smell."
Gu Qian Ying smiled.
"Master Du is indeed different from ordinary people. Upon learning that his daughter had an accident, not only was he not worried, but he also had the leisure to drink medicinal cuisine. When he saw Miss Du, he did not inquire about her condition, but instead wanted to rush them back to the mansion?"
As she spoke, Gu Qian Ying looked up and met Master Du's gaze, her voice becoming colder than before: "Master Du, are you guilty?"
