Chapter 80.2 – Gu Removal! Tearing Down Her Mask! (2)

Du Xiao Li saw the gu appear on the arm. Reaching this step, the gu removal this time can be considered halfcomplete!

Han Ming Ze and the others were observing the Grand Empress Dowager’s situation the whole time. Seeing the area

swell up from the gu, they practically held their breath.

The gu slowly moved, testing the patience of everyone in the room. Du Xiao Li was staring the gu the whole time,

and when it was about to reach the wrist, she said: “Xia Yuan, dagger.”

The dagger was brought before Du Xiao Li. Taking the dagger, Du Xiao Li lightly slit a cut across the Grand

Empress Dowager’s wrist. Fresh blood slowly flowed out.

“Number five.” Du Xiao Li handed the dagger back to Xia Yuan, and then said. A silver needle immediately was

placed into her hands. She took the needle and inserted it into a point near the wrist, and the outflowing blood

instantly stopped.

Seeing Du Xiao Li stop the blood like so, Hu Yi Jian’s eyes lit up. Then seeing her steady and calm appearance, he

smilingly nodded his head.

“It’s come out.” Niu Jing and the others, who have been continuously paying attention, softly said when they saw the

gu already moving towards the cut slowly.

Du Xiao Li took out a pouch of white powder, and using her nail, scooped a little bit and placed it by the cut, faintly

emitting a delicate fragrant. The gu seemingly likes this smell a lot, because its migration towards the cut increased

quite a bit. In the end, it exposed its fat body out bit by bit.

(T/N: My impression of gu have always been like tiny leeches or something similar——-)

Although it came out from the body, and just now, moved around the cut as well, the gu however didn’t get stained

with a single drop of blood, like a transparent cicada pupa.

Du Xiao Li used clamps to have the gu clipped out and placed into a prepared basin. Afterwards, using a cotton ball

soaked in strong alcohol, she carefully had the medicinal powder just now wiped clean. Then, she had the cut taken

care of, and after bandaging it, finally removed all the needles on the Grand Empress Dowager’s arm.

“Huu—–” When she finished these things, Du Xiao Li’s tense body finally relaxed, “Grandma Han, the gu is

already removed.”

After the gu left the body, the Grand Empress Dowager’s painful expression finally eased. Seeing Du Xiao Li

already covered in sweat, she said, “You’ve worked hard, child.”

“Not at all. Grandma Han, after you eat this medicine, you’ll be fine.” Du Xiao Li said, and then turned to look to

Xia Yuan. Xia Yuan had the container opened, taking out that small medicine pill and handing it to the Grand

Empress Dowager.

When Fan Nuo’er saw the small medicine pill move into the Grand Empress Dowager’s hand, the corner of her

mouth slowly raised up. Once she eats this, Du Xiao Li will be doomed!

“Master, once you eat this, you’ll be well again.” Meng Gu brought a cup of water before the Grand Empress

Dowager.

“En.” The Grand Empress Dowager, after experiencing that torment just now, was already out of strength. She

slightly nodded her head and took the pill with Meng Gu’s help.

Done!

Fan Nuo’er anxiously looked the Grand Empress Dowager. Seeing her swallow the medicine, she relaxed a breath

and asked, pretending to be concerned, “Grand Empress Dowager, how do you feel right now?”

“Already much better.” The Grand Empress Dowager said, but just as she finished, she suddenly clutched her chest

and urgently began grasping for breath.

“Grandmother, grandmother, what’s wrong?”

“Master?”

“What’s this?”

Seeing the Grand Empress Dowager like this, everyone in the room began panicking, all closing in on the guifei

couch.

“Grand Empress Dowager, what’s wrong?” Fan Nuo’er screamed.

“I, I feel, painful all over!” The Grand Empress Dowager said with great effort, “Wuu……”

“Little shishu, what did you give the Grand Empress Dowager! Why is she hurting like this?” Fan Nuo’er lashed out,

and then grabbed the Grand Empress Dowager’s hand, pretending to take the pulse, before screaming out, “Bone

Devouring Powder! Little shishu, why did you give this to the Grand Empress Dowager?!”

“Bone Devouring Powder!?”

Hearing Fan Nuo’er’s words, everyone all cried out in shock. Han Ming Ze thus lashed out, “Du Xiao Li, why did

you poison imperial grandmother?! If you can’t give a reason, this emperor will have your head!”

Before Du Xiao Li could say anything, Han Ming Yi came to her side and grabbed her hand, “Xiao Li wouldn’t do

something like that.”

“I believe in little sister-in-law.” Han Ming Yuan echoed, “Your Majesty, there must be an explanation for this.”

Bai Ning Yuan glanced at the Grand Empress Dowager’s situation, holding a smile in the corner of his mouth, as he

stood to the side not saying a word.

“Then little shishu, please explain, why did you give the Grand Empress Dowager Bone Devouring Powder?” Fan1

Nuo’er loudly questioned.

Du Xiao Li looked to Han Ming Yi, then looked to Fan Nuo’er’s ‘you’re so dead’ expression, and said, “Your

Majesty, this isn’t Bone Devouring Powder, look.”

Her calm tone made everyone present quiet down at once, and followed her gaze towards the Grand Empress

Dowager, only seeing her face flushed red, trembling all over. Afterwards, she spatted out a mouthful of blood.

“Imperial grandmother!”

“Master!”

“Grand Empress Dowager!”

“Keke………” The Grand Empress Dowager grabbed Meng Gu’s arm with one hand, while she waved her other hand

towards the panicking crowd, indicating that she was fine.

Du Xiao Li brought over the water Xia Yuan handed over, waiting for the Grand Empress Dowager’s breathing to

calm down before handing it to her, saying: “Grandma Han, here, rinse your mouth.”

The Grand Empress Dowager drank the water and gargled in her mouth a few times before spitting it into the basin.

“Imperial Grandmother, how are you?” Han Ming Ze asked in concern.

“Much more comfortable.” The Grand Empress Dowager took the handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth,

“After spitting out this mouthful of blood, I feel my body easing up quite a bit. The previous suffocating and

nauseous feeling is all gone as well, and my chest no longer feels stuffy.”

Hearing the Grand Empress Dowager’s words, Han Ming Ze and the others all relaxed. Fan Nuo’er somewhat

bewilderedly watched the situation before her, subconsciously voicing her inner doubts, “Did the Grand Empress

Dowager get infected with the Bone Devouring Powder’s poison?”

“What Bone Devouring Powder? I just gave the Grand Empress Dowager medicine to clean out the gu remains in

her body. Because the gu was in the body for too long, if not cleaned out, it’ll affect the body. Having all of it

expelled from the body, grandma Han will feel the body is much more refreshed now! Shifu, why don’t you also

take grandma Han’s pulse.” Du Xiao Li explained and then stood up and turned to Hu Yi Jian.

Hu Yi Jian had been observing everyone’s reaction from the side. Hearing Du Xiao Li’s words, he stroked his white

beard and said, “En, then I’ll have a look.”

With that said, Hu Yi Jian came to the seat and sat down, as he reached out to the Grand Empress Dowager’s pulse.

Everyone all held their breath and watched.

“Shigong, how is it?” When Hu Yi Jian was more or less done, Fan Nuo’er was the first to open her mouth.

Hu Yi Jian got up and said, “The Grand Empress Dowager doesn’t have any signs of poison in her body. On the

contrary, her pulse is much more stable than before. The previous symptoms of chest pain should be all gone. Seems

this gu has been removed completely.”

Hearing Hu Yi Jian’s words, Han Ming Ze and the others finally relaxed for real. Since he said it was fine, then that

means there aren’t any problems!
