The candles in the storeroom were suddenly blown out, and the eunuchs guarding the door were so frightened that they almost lost their minds.

The group looked at each other, all terrified.

They were both afraid that something had happened to Xuanyuan Yu, and worried that he might have taken something too valuable for them to explain.

"Third Prince? Are you alright?" A eunuch entered the storeroom in the dark and tentatively called out to Xuanyuan Yu.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Yu was standing in front of a small box that emitted a ghostly green light. Looking at the small insect inside that emitted a ghostly green light, Xuanyuan Yu was overjoyed. He immediately closed the box and stuffed it into his arms.

The eunuchs relit the candles, and only then did they see Xuan Yuan Yu standing before them. They were immediately terrified.

"Your Highness?"

The group of people were all terrified by Xuan Yuan Yu's sudden and sinister appearance, and their faces turned pale.

What is the Third Prince doing? It's terrifying! Especially that last move of his, it looked like there was a green light shining on his face, which made it even more frightening!

"It's nothing, the candle just went out," Xuan Yuan Yu explained casually, then added, "I've found what I'm looking for, you can close the storeroom door now."

Without waiting for the eunuchs to respond, Xuanyuan Yu left.

The eunuchs exchanged bewildered glances again. The eunuch in charge of the keys was the first to realize what was missing: "You few, quickly check the storeroom records and see what's missing."

"Yes." The group immediately responded and got to work.

Xuanyuan Yu's visit kept the eunuchs managing the warehouse busy all night.

Xuanyuan Yu, having obtained what he desired, immediately returned to Jingfeng Palace.

Upon returning to the main hall, Xuanyuan Yu immediately closed the hall door and eagerly took out the small box.

Upon opening the box, the Snow Silkworm, a treasure of the Southern Frontier, which Long Jiaojiao had previously presented, was immediately revealed.

Xuanyuan Yu stared excitedly at the snow silkworm, took out the letter that Long Jiaojiao had given him, and then took out a dagger. Following the instructions in the letter, he gently slashed the snow silkworm's body.

With a gentle slash of his dagger, Xuan Yuan Yu removed the snow-white outer layer from the Snow Silkworm, transforming it into an ordinary Gu worm glowing with green light.

Xuanyuan Yu stared at the insect with excitement, his heart pounding with anticipation.

This is definitely not a snow silkworm!

Instead, it was the mother Gu of the puppet Gu inside the Emperor's body. It did look very similar to the puppet Gu he had planted in the Emperor's body, except that it was a size larger than the puppet Gu inside the Emperor's body.

This dragon is really something, he actually planned all of this long ago.

She disguised the mother Gu of the Puppet Gu as a Snow Silkworm and sent it to her father, so she must have wanted to use the Puppet Gu on him for a long time.

She was probably just using him, using him to cast a puppet curse on her father!

But what could he do? His father favored Xuanyuan Zhan so much that if he didn't use the puppet poison on him, he would completely lose his chance to ascend the throne!

No!

From childhood to adulthood, he was raised by his father as the crown prince. Why should he be made crown prince now that his father says so?

He is not convinced!

This position was rightfully his, and he would never give it up to Xuan Yuanzhan!

And Ning'er too!

Sooner or later, he will make Ning'er obediently return to his side.

He must do this to reclaim everything that belongs to him!

Father, don't blame me, you forced me to do this!

Xuanyuan Yu stared intently at the Gu worms in the box, and with a do-or-die attitude, he slashed his wrist with a dagger, dripping his blood into the box.

The crimson blood dripped onto the luminous green Gu worm, and the green light on the Gu worm instantly intensified, illuminating the entire main hall with a green glow.

When the two guards outside saw the sudden appearance of the green light, they immediately exchanged a glance and nervously looked into the house.

Still worried, Yueyuan knocked on the door again: "Your Highness? Are you alright?"

Inside the room, Xuan Yuan Yu couldn't hear the sound of the full moon; he was staring greedily at the green-bodied mother Gu.

After the mother Gu completely absorbed his blood, it was like a peerless sword that had been sharpened with blood. It excitedly spun around the box, as if searching for the owner who fed it blood.

The mother Gu seemed to have finally found its master, and suddenly flew towards Xuan Yuan Yu.

Xuanyuan Yu felt no fear, only excitement in his eyes.

A moment later, the mother Gu seemed to have found its source by the smell of blood and rushed towards the wound on Xuan Yuan Yu's wrist.

"Hiss~" The sharp pain made Xuan Yuan Yu gasp in pain.

The green light that had illuminated the entire main hall suddenly disappeared, but Yueyuan seemed to hear Xuanyuan Yu's suppressed pain again, and immediately knocked on the door with concern: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing!" Xuan Yuan Yu gripped his wrist tightly, enduring the pain, and replied through gritted teeth.

Both the full moon and the waning moon outside could hear the strangeness in Xuan Yuan Yu's voice.

His Highness seemed to be in great pain, but he said he was fine, probably because he didn't want them to go in and disturb him.

The two exchanged a glance. Although they were still very worried about Xuan Yuan Yu, neither of them dared to go in.

Inside the room, Xuan Yuan Yu lay on the ground in excruciating pain, the inhuman agony of the Gu worms burrowing into his meridians driving him almost insane.

He curled up on the ground in agony, experiencing for the first time the true meaning of suffering worse than death.

What kind of Gu worm is this?

Why does it hurt so much?!

A few days ago, when he used the curse on his father, his father seemed to only feel a momentary pain. Why is he in so much pain now...?

Xuanyuan Yu was in so much pain that he wanted to roll on the ground several times. What was even more terrifying was that he could clearly feel the Gu worms moving through his meridians and drilling straight into his brain.

To be honest, Xuanyuan Yu was scared at this moment.

He was afraid that he had been tricked by that woman, Long Jiaojiao. He was afraid that Long Jiaojiao would play dirty tricks on him behind his back, not only to harm his father, but also him. He was even more afraid that this so-called Gu worm that could control his father would take his life!

No matter how scared he was, the Gu worm had already entered his meridians, and he didn't know how to remove it himself. Now he could only endure the pain and wait to see the final result.

Xuanyuan Yu was tormented by the Gu worms for an entire night, the pain was so intense that it felt like his skin had been peeled off.

Fortunately, by dawn, the Gu worm seemed to have found its way and finally crawled into his brain, and the inhuman pain gradually disappeared.

For a moment, Xuanyuan Yu's mind seemed to go blank.

It was the relief of surviving inhuman torture, the uncertainty about the future after being tortured for so long, and the excitement of being able to control the emperor!

After a long silence, Yueyuan knocked on the door again: "Your Highness, are you awake? It's time for court."

Xuanyuan Yu's consciousness returned instantly, and he sat up abruptly from the ground, his eyes filled with excitement.

He'll go and test whether he can control his father during the court session!
