The mother Gu was thrown into the fire by Bai Wujin and his lover last night, but they were too arrogant. They left without seeing the mother Gu burned to ashes.

No sooner had they left than Little Fatty Orange crawled inside and pulled out the mother Gu.

It's playful and finds everything interesting; it can't resist scratching at things with its paws. Before it could even glance at the box containing the mother Gu, it went to find the two "locked-up" kittens.

The chubby orange cat says it's very busy too!

If it weren't for that woman constantly rummaging around in the morning, they wouldn't have remembered this at all. Curious, it bit open the box, and a large insect flew out towards its forehead. The brave and mighty Fat Orange Prince immediately slapped the insect down, pinning it down.

Little Fatty Orange shrank its neck guiltily; this bug seemed quite important to them.

He probably wasn't beaten to death...

The mother Gu was ugly and tenacious, constantly flapping her wings to prove that she was still alive.

Su Jinze tore off a piece of his clothing to wrap the mother Gu, holding it in one hand and carrying Qiuqiu in the other, heading towards the main hall of Zhengyang Palace. As he turned a corner, he encountered the Imperial Guards who had come to his aid.

"General Su."

Feng Lin's face darkened. He felt that his head was not far from being split up. He hadn't even noticed that the remnants of the previous dynasty had infiltrated the emperor's palace!

Where are the traitors?

Su Jinze: "I have tied the man up in the side hall. General, you can take your men to arrest him. I have important matters to report to the Imperial Preceptor, so I will take my leave first."

"Please proceed, young general."

Qiuqiu hugged Su Jinze's neck and strained to look behind her, feeling that there had been a strange person there just now.

"What happened to Jijiu?"

Chiu Chiu stared blankly for a while, then shook her head. She glanced at it again, but it seemed like nothing was wrong.

Su Jinze carefully listened for any unseen whispers before quickly leaving. After handing the mother Gu to Yue Wen, he stepped aside, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Grand Preceptor."

Yuewen was skilled in divination, but only had a superficial understanding of witchcraft. Given Emperor Jingming's situation, he dared not attempt anything rashly. He placed the mother Gu (a type of venomous insect) beside the bright yellow bed curtains, hesitated for a moment, and then retrieved it.

"I need to consider this matter further."

The offspring Gu within Emperor Jingming sensed the scent of the mother Gu and began to roam through his veins and flesh.

The Gu worm devoured flesh and blood, and the unconscious Emperor Jingming let out a painful groan, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

The Empress was shocked and wanted to rush forward but didn't know how to do it. "Your Majesty! Imperial Advisor, please think of a way!"

Yuewen had never heard of the Heart-Eating Gu before, but seeing that Emperor Jingming's facial features were starting to bleed, he had no choice but to give it a try.

The atmosphere reached an extremely tense level, and no one dared to breathe loudly.

Amidst Yuewen's trembling movements, a long, drawn-out fart escaped...

Su Jinze's face turned green. What's wrong with babies these days!

Two little red clouds rose to Qiuqiu's cheeks. [Embarrassed, the anger just started to escape from below...]

To hide her embarrassment, Chiu Chiu pointed outside with her little hand.

She wanted to leave, to go somewhere where no one knew her and start over!

Yue Wen was suspicious, but after a moment she suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, quickly send people to search in the east. The person who can save His Majesty must be in the east."

The east is the direction Chiu Chiu is pointing.

Yuewen's eyes were frighteningly bright, and Su Jinze silently pressed down Qiuqiu's outstretched hand. If this continued, it would be impossible to explain.

Others might not know him, but surely they know his sister! He must have felt awkward and asked me to take her out, but little did he know that the imaginative Grand Tutor would misunderstand him.

If this delays His Majesty's treatment, even ten heads wouldn't be enough to chop off.

However, Eunuch Liu had already led a group of people out and conducted a thorough search in the east direction, and they actually found several imperial physicians gathered together.

But they already said last night that they were powerless to do anything about it.

Imperial Physician Wang said, "Your Majesty, we have only gleaned fragments of knowledge about witchcraft, and we cannot even distinguish between mother and child Gu!"

The Empress stared at the old Physician Wang's face. Suddenly, she asked, "Don't you have a granddaughter who was taken away by a witch doctor?"

Suddenly, Chiu Chiu's eyes lit up: [Uncle Emperor is saved!]

[Sister Xinyu cured Gu Qinghuai of the Gu poison.]

[Quickly invite Sister Xinyu!]

Qiuqiu pointed desperately at Physician Wang. After several coincidences, the Empress became even more convinced of the divination that Qiuqiu could save His Majesty. "Physician Wang, think about it carefully again!"

Su Jinze: "Has the granddaughter of Physician Wang learned any methods to cure Gu poison from witch doctors? Why don't we call her over?"

Now that things had come to this, it was no longer a matter that Physician Wang could refuse. "Your Majesty, my granddaughter is somewhat special. If she has done anything disrespectful, please be lenient!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Have someone bring Physician Wang's granddaughter over!"

Wang Xinyu was taken back by Liu Gonggong's men, which made Wang Taiyi (the imperial physician) almost cry. Taking advantage of the situation, Wang Xinyu bit Liu Gonggong's hand.

"Oh dear!" Eunuch Liu shook his hand. "Your Majesty, this little girl is ignoring people. This old servant only offended her in a moment of panic."

The Empress waved him away, saying, "Young lady, do you have a way to break the witchcraft? Once His Majesty is saved, I can grant you endless riches and honor!"

Wang Xinyu was already different from ordinary people. Just now, Liu Gonggong's action of grabbing her triggered her protective mechanism, and she became silent and completely immersed in her own world, just like when she first came back.

The Empress was furious when she received no response for a long time. Just as she was about to lash out, Imperial Physician Wang rushed over, grabbed Wang Xinyu, and forcefully pressed her down to apologize to the Empress, "Your Majesty, my granddaughter has suffered a shock and is not like ordinary people. Please spare her life!"

Wang Xinyu was forced to lower her head, like a manipulated puppet. Su Jinze's first reaction upon seeing Wang Xinyu was that the little girl looked pitiful.

Instead of pleading with the Queen directly, he placed Qiuqiu on the ground.

"Kid, it's up to you now."

Chirp crawled up to Wang Xinyu on all fours, looked up at her and made faces, gesturing wildly with its chubby little hands, and muttering something unintelligible.

"Aww, sis, hahaha!" [Sister Xinxinyu, do you remember Fu Ning? The one who almost grabbed your hand!]

[Her dad's dying! Please save him, I'll get her to give you... Hey!]

Qiuqiu turned around and glared angrily at Princess Fu Ning, who had appeared out of nowhere and punched her.

Chirp: "Huh?"

Princess Fu Ning: "Ah!"

Su Jinze: "???"

Wang Xinyu, who had been unresponsive, struggled to get out of Doctor Wang's arms and manually muted the two arguing children.

"save!"

"Quarrel!"

Empress: "What do you mean?"

Do you find chirping too noisy?

The imperial physician was overjoyed: "Your Majesty, Xinyu said that as long as Qiuqiu and Princess are too noisy, she gets a headache. As long as they stop arguing, Her Majesty can be saved."

The Empress was somewhat skeptical of Physician Wang's interpretation; could two words really convey so much meaning?

However, Wang Xinyu had already bypassed the Empress and arrived directly at Emperor Jingming's bedside. She raised her hand and said coldly, "Knife."

An exquisite dagger was handed to her, and she immediately pressed the tip against Emperor Jingming's heart.

Su Jinze's brow twitched, and he pressed his long sword against her back. "What do you want to do!"
