Chapter 350

What is this!

Shi Lin's hand tightened instantly; he just felt this matter was related to him.

They stopped strolling and sped up, riding the carriage toward the Imperial Capital.

Even though the Imperial Capital was bustling.

Qiao Sheng and the others now had no desire to sightsee at all.

After settling Qiao Hushui and the others.

Shi Lin took Qiao Sheng, Ouyang Zhi, and Feng Qingyang back home together.

The Xie Yin who was once white and chubby—not exactly fat, just a bit round—has now changed drastically, looking thin and yellow.

Ouyang Zhi, watching without waiting for them to speak, sat down and took Xie Yin's pulse.

"Ah Zhi, how's Xie Yin? Did you notice anything?"

Na Lan Ruo Lan waited a while without hearing Ouyang Zhi speak, and couldn't hold back, saying:

Ouyang Zhi withdrew her hand, her expression complex, and said, "I've never seen a pulse pattern like this before; I'm not sure it's what I think..."

"Senior Ouyang, you speak."

Qiao Sheng looked at Ouyang Zhi and said.

Shi Lin and the others also let her speak.

Ouyang Zhi pursed her lips and said, "I suspect Xie Yin has been afflicted by a gu. I've heard of such a gu, but I don't know how to dispel it."

What!

Shi Lin and the others' expressions all changed.

Shiyu opened and pleaded with Ouyang Zhi: "Senior Ouyang, please save my wife; she's still so young, she can't have any trouble."

Shi Jin and the others also pleaded with Ouyang Zhi.

Ouyang Zhi sighed and said, "We're all so familiar; if I could save her, could I choose not to? All I can do now is keep her alive; I can't wake her up. If you want her to awaken, you must quickly find out how this gu originated..."

Shi Lin, taking An Yi and the others, headed straight for the black market.

They hadn't walked far.

Qiao Sheng received a slip of paper; after reading its contents, she stood still in place for a while without moving.

She originally thought Xie Yin's gu was a ploy by someone to attack Shi Lin.

Never would she have thought.

It was actually aimed at her!

Xiao Shitou came out, saw Qiao Sheng not far away, and asked, "Mother, what are you standing there for?"

"I'm thinking."

Qiao Sheng quickly tossed the slip into the void.

Xiao Shitou came over and saw nothing.

Qiao Sheng patted Xiao Shitou's head and said, "Xiao Shitou, mother has something to go out for."

"Mother, what are you going out to do?"

Xiao Shitou asked with a puzzled expression.

Qiao Sheng improvised, "I'm a bit uneasy about Shi Shushu; I want to go to the black market to take a look. You and Shi Jin stay obediently at home, don't run around; we'll be back soon."

She turned and took fewer than two steps.

Xiao Shitou grabbed her sleeve, "Mother, if you're uneasy about Shi Shushu, don't go alone; it's too dangerous. Wait, I'll go fetch someone."

As soon as he left,

Qiao Sheng left this place.

The slip she just received said that she must go alone to the Imperial Abundance Tea House in the western city; if she dares to bring anyone, the gu insects will be activated to take Xie Yin's life.

That's exactly what the slip said.

How could Qiao Sheng dare to gamble?

Xie Yin is Shi Lin's mother; if she encounters any problem because of her—

She would never forgive herself in this lifetime.

Shi Lin would surely resent her.

When that time comes.

How could they still be together?

Qiao Sheng didn't take long before locating the Imperial Abundance Tea House; it wasn't far from Shi Lin's annex.

The tea house's main door was closed.

Qiao Sheng stepped forward and knocked several times; only then did the door open from inside.

"If you're here, come in; are you waiting for our master to invite you?" (End of chapter)
