After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.
Chapter 485 [Little Xiu'er] Our Little Xiu'er is worth it!
Xiao Xiu'er nodded very seriously, "There are bugs!"
"Hiss..." Yin Cheng's gaze towards Zhao Su became very strange, making Zhao Su feel uneasy.
"This... Your Highness, is there something wrong with this humble official?" Zhao Su thought about it and realized that she had only eaten a piece of pastry prepared by her husband before going out, and she had not rolled in the grass, so where would the bugs on her body come from?
Yin Cheng truly did not expect that this Gu worm was not an isolated case.
The square is now filled with officials waiting to enter the palace. Apart from Zhao Su, all the other civil and military officials chose to detour when they saw Prince Cheng.
With one arm around Xiao Xiu'er and the other pulling the civil official Zhao Su along, Yin Cheng quickly stepped forward.
Zhao Suxin panicked, "Your Highness, I am a second-rank official! According to the rules, I should be behind Lord Zheng."
Lord Zheng, who was forcibly cut in line: "..." So angry!
"Everyone, step back." Yin Cheng held up the Xiaoxiu'er brand detector. "Line up, one at a time."
For you gentlemen who have served in court your whole lives, this is the first time you've been forced to stand in line.
Out of respect for His Highness Prince Cheng's authority, no one dared to raise any objections.
After all, he was the only prince in the entire country who could bring weapons to court, so people generally only dared to gossip about him behind his back.
Based on Xiao Xiu'er's color-changing test, the officials who were allowed to enter the Golden Palace were quickly divided into two groups.
When Yin Mo arrived, he saw his officials standing in twos and threes, which could be considered as two groups.
Then he saw his younger brother holding up a chubby, white baby and waving it around in front of all the officials.
Uh… Yin Mo thought: Is this showing off a good baby?
Although my younger brother can be quite unreliable at times, he's not this unreliable.
When the officials saw His Majesty attending court, they felt as if they had found their pillar of support and quickly resumed their formation to kowtow.
Yin Cheng gritted his teeth. Damn it, he had just identified the host of the Gu worm, and now he had to do it all over again.
He stared at his brother sullenly, rolling his eyes to the sky.
The older brother, completely unaware of the situation, was baffled. "What's going on?"
Yin Cheng originally intended to reveal the matter after the Gu worm was removed, so as not to frighten these fragile officials.
If things get chaotic and people panic, his brother will have to step in to calm them down.
Yin Cheng was already short of patience, and now he was even less inclined to hide it. He carried Xiao Xiu'er to Zhao Su's side.
"Lord Zhao, roll up your sleeves."
As one of the few upright officials in the capital who believed in Prince Cheng's character, Zhao Su, though bewildered, still rolled up his sleeves.
Yin Cheng did not bring a dagger with him today, only the plum blossom dart at his waist.
He took the plum blossom dart, wiped the blade on Lord Zhao's official robe, and then said to Xiao Xiu'er, "Baby, catch the bugs."
Xiao Xiuer, a professional pest control expert, rolled up her sleeves, revealing her chubby, white arm with tattoos. Her plump little hands patted and pinched Zhao Su's arm.
Soon, a bump appeared on Zhao Su's arm.
Yin Cheng quickly cut open the bulge, and Xiao Xiu'er grabbed the Gu worm, holding it in her hand and asking for praise, "Grandpa, I caught it!"
"Our Xiu'er is the most amazing baby in the whole world."
Xiao Xiu'er chuckled.
Seeing Zhao Su's blank expression, Yin Cheng said, "What are you standing there for? Stop the bleeding!"
Only then did Zhao Su belatedly press on her wound, utterly incredulous: "This is...!"
When everyone saw the white worm still in its pupa in Xiaoxiu'er's hand, they were all surprised. What was going on?
Even Yin Mo was so startled that he stood up from his dragon throne and asked the question that was on the minds of all the officials: "What is this?"
Yin Cheng turned his head and gave his brother a deathly smile, "A Gu worm, huh."
Everyone gasped.
Yin Mo quickly sent Xiao Anzi to fetch the imperial physician.
There's nothing he doesn't understand now; his younger brother was just distinguishing whether these people were carrying Gu worms.
"Besides Lord Zhao, who else has been poisoned by the curse?" Yin Mo asked.
The younger brother continued his deathly smile, without saying a word.
Yin Mo: "..." How old is he? He still likes to throw tantrums.
Yin Mo: "Stand according to the arrangement made by Prince Cheng just now."
The officials were alarmed. Could it be that one of them also had a Gu worm residing in his body?
Thinking of this, the officials who had just been complaining about Prince Cheng started to move and quickly split into two groups again.
Xiao Xiuer crushed the Gu worm in her hand with a snap, leaving her hand covered in a sticky paste.
Yin Cheng casually grabbed one of the officials' robes and used it to wipe Xiao Xiu'er's hands. "Good girl, just grab it out, no need to crush it."
Xiao Xiu'er said softly, "I know it's spicy."
Yin Cheng placed Xiao Xiu'er on the steps and said to the eunuch beside his brother, "Bring me a pot of wine, and make it strong liquor."
After receiving a look of approval from His Majesty, the young eunuch quickly ran to fetch the wine.
After a quick disinfection, Yin Cheng pointed to the official who had previously wiped Xiao Xiu'er's hands with his official robe, "One by one, you're next, roll up your sleeves."
The official whose name was called stepped forward, squatted down in front of Xiao Xiu'er, and asked somewhat nervously, "Your Highness, do I also have Gu worms on my body?"
Yin Cheng: "No, how could that be? There isn't any."
Little Xiu'er had already started, and she comforted him, saying, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
With a sharp pain in his arm, the official saw a three-inch-long white worm being pulled out of his flesh, and nearly fainted.
Who wouldn't be terrified to see such a long worm being pulled out of their own flesh?
Yin Cheng had a young eunuch bring over a vase. "Come here, Xiu'er, throw it in."
Little Xiu'er was very obedient and threw the Gu worm into the vase.
Yin Cheng said lazily, "Next."
The officials who had been poisoned were all clutching their arms and getting the bleeding stopped by the imperial physician, while Yin Mo's face grew increasingly dark.
If it were an isolated incident, it could be attributed to an enemy's plot, but with half the officials in the court affected by the curse, it's clearly a conspiracy against the Great Yin Dynasty.
The white worms inside the vase were writhing in a disgusting way, and even the eunuchs nearby dared not look inside.
But as a professional, Xiao Xiuer is not only completely unafraid, but she can also pinch the head and tail of the Gu worm and play with it like a rubber band.
Yin Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong with her at all; in fact, he thought his little Xiu'er was smart and capable and would succeed in whatever she did in the future.
Some low-ranking officials who were not allowed to enter the main hall were also summoned in and made to show themselves to Xiao Xiuer one by one to determine if they had any Gu poison in their bodies.
Yin Cheng was afraid of tiring his beloved grandson, and felt that after this matter was over, he could simply send someone to collect the medical expenses.
The tattoo on Xiaoxiu'er's face only faded after the two vases were filled with Gu worms.
Yin Mo sat down next to Xiao Xiu'er and personally fanned him with a fan.
Little Xiu'er was exhausted and leaned against her grandfather, snoring softly.
"Let's organize some physical examinations for the officials later. I'll have Xin Hui help out." Yin Cheng picked up Xiao Xiu'er. "Xiu'er is tired, I'll take him home first."
Yin Mo nodded; he would investigate the matter thoroughly.
As Yin Cheng was leaving, he whispered to his brother, "Some members of the Golden Guard have also been poisoned. You should investigate the people in your palace."
The older brother nodded, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
The younger brother took two steps, then turned back. "Remember to reward her. Our little Xiu'er loves gold, silver, jewelry, jade, agate, silk, and satin..."
In summary: expensive, good.
Yin Mo: "...Okay, okay."
Yin Cheng then happily took Xiao Xiu'er home.
After extensive investigation, it was discovered that a pastry shop in the capital was actually a spy for a certain faction, aiming to undermine the Great Yin Dynasty from within.
Of course, when they encountered a professional like Xiaoxiuer, their conspiracy failed.
Xiao Xiuer had no idea that this incident would make him famous in the capital.
However, his reputation, like his grandfather's, is a mixture of good and bad.
But Xiao Xiu'er doesn't care, because he is the precious baby that the whole family cherishes and will grow up surrounded by love for the rest of his life.
