They didn’t know where Wei Xuan found so many pine branches, but he burned the pine branches to ashes in the yard and then put some strange things in the ashes.

After that, he sprinkled the ashes into the tanks in the hall and closed the lid. The tanks made bursts of crackling noises, like water splashing into an oil pan. The sound continued for a while. Only when the sound inside disappeared, he opened the lid of one of the tanks.

The disgusting smell no longer appeared but changed into a burnt scent.

Well, it was the smell of pig hair roasted on the fire.

The heart-biting gu in the tank had turned into black water. Even the corpse also disappeared.

Bai Zhi was surprised: “It can’t be the corpse turn into ashes?”

Wei Xuan said: “It’s similar to the corpse ashes, but it’s also different.”

Bai Zhi didn’t want to know the difference. The five internal organs that had already calmed down again tumbled and she vomited again. She didn’t eat anything, she only vomited some stomach.

Seeing this, the three imperial doctors couldn’t bear it. They had been enduring it for a long time now.

When they went down the mountain, Bai Zhi took Wei Xuan and Wei Mo together. As well as Old Lady Wei, who was still drowsy.

On the carriage back to the capital, Imperial Doctor Xu looked worried and said: “If there is no way to solve this gu, then isn’t it bad?”

Bai Zhi opened the small curtain and looked outside. The city gate of the capital can be seen from the distance: “I hope Prince Jin has found the whereabouts of Chu Feng and the rebels of the Jin Country.”

After returning to the capital, Bai Zhi took Wei Mo and the others back to Dongfang Family Mansion. While the three imperial doctors went back.

As soon as she entered the gate of the mansion, a servant rushed to her: “Miss, you finally came back. Prince Jin is here and has been waiting for you in the side hall.”

Bai Zhi asked the servant to take Old Lady Wei to rest, while she led Wei Mo and Wei Xuan to see Hu Feng.

In the side hall, Hu Feng was fidgeting and walking back and forth in the small hall. His eyebrows were frowning and his face looked gloomy.

“Hu Feng!” Bai Zhi stepped forward when she saw Hu Feng walking back and forth and looked so anxious.

As soon as Hu Feng saw Bai Zhi, his heart calmed down. The outside was not at peace. As long as she was not in the house, he would always be afraid.

“Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you.” Hu Feng quickly stepped forward and naturally stretched out his hand to hold her.

Bai Zhi also stretched out her hand to hold him and smiled: “I’m fine, didn’t I come back now?”

Hu Feng raised his eyes and looked at the people behind her. There were two men, one old and the other one was young. The old man looked sick and a little sluggish.

The young man looked upright and had clear eyes. But why was he staring at the hand he and Bai Zhi held together?

Hu Feng frowned immediately and asked, “Who are they?”

Bai Zhi pulled him to sat down and explained the Wei family’s affairs clearly.

Hu Feng was very angry and pointed his finger at Wei Mo: “In other words, the source of this heart-biting is his handwriting?”

Bai Zhi nodded and shook her head: “Yes and no. He is controlled by others and has done something against his will. He can only be regarded as a worker.”

Hu Feng glared at Wei Mo, then asked, “Why did you bring them here?”

Bai Zhi said: “Grandpa is like this now. If someone who knows gu is around to look after him, that would be great.”

Hu Feng looked into Bai Zhi’s eyes and saw a flash of light in her eyes when she said this. It immediately became clear to him, she must have other plans.

Hu Feng nodded his head: “Alright, it can be considered to giving them a chance to atone for their sins.”
