The little dumpling kept calling him "servant," which shocked the great wizard, who could only respectfully reply, "This servant dares not."

The little dumpling happily tucked the bell into her pocket, but she wasn't about to let the great wizard off the hook. She pointed at him and asked, "What were you doing to her just now?"

The high shaman stared at the little dumpling, his expression unreadable. "Huyan Qing once suffered a brain injury. This servant was merely treating her in the name of the king."

Injuried?

Upon hearing this, the little dumpling immediately asked Hu Yanqing, "Are you injured? Let me see."

She was anxious and reached out her little hand to touch Huyan Qing's head, but before she could touch her, she was stopped by the great shaman.

"Little princess, you don't need to do that. Your servant will take care of it." The high priest pushed Huyan Qing back.

"You filthy servant, how dare you stop me!" The little dumpling frowned, and with a forceful push of its two little hands, it shoved the great wizard against the wall, making a loud thud.

The great wizard clutched his chest and coughed. He never expected that this tiny person would have such strength, causing his entire spine to ache from the impact.

Without the Great Wizard's intervention, the little dumpling rushed straight to Hu Yanqing, waved her chubby little hand, and said in a concerned, childish voice, "Let me see your injury."

But Hu Yanqing didn't step forward. She looked coldly at the little dumpling and said in a distant tone, "I only accept treatment from the Great Wizard."

Rejected by Hu Yanqing, the little dumpling put her hands on her hips in anger and retorted, "Hmph! Can that weird old man cure you? You might as well let me see, I'm much stronger than him. Look, I beat him down."

But Hu Yanqing completely ignored her advice and walked to the Great Wizard's side, clearly trying to distance himself from the little dumpling.

That stupid woman! How did she end up standing with that wicked old man again!

The little dumpling grabbed Hu Yanqing's hand and tried to pull her closer to her.

The moment the tiny hand touched her palm, a warm current flowed through Hu Yanqing's heart. She reflexively reached out to grasp that little hand, but suddenly her brain started to ache.

"Ah!" Hu Yanqing screamed, clutching her head and backing away. Strange voices kept commanding her in her mind, making her want to get away from everyone and everything here.

"What's wrong with you?" The little boy was startled when he saw her suddenly in pain. He reached out to hug her, but she pushed him away hard.

Su Ruiling quickly supported the baby with her pregnant belly to prevent her from falling to the ground.

Seeing Hu Yanqing's distressed state, Su Ruiling also felt distressed. She shouted to Yu Yiman, "Call someone, go and call someone quickly."

Yu Yiman had been watching coldly from the sidelines. At this moment, her face was as cold as ice, as if she had not heard Su Ruiling's words, and she did not move her feet.

"She should be fine, so don't worry," Yu Yiman said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the little girl glared fiercely at Yu Yiman. She grabbed Hu Yanqing's arm and said to Su Ruiling, "Aunt, I want to take her away."

Su Ruiling nodded, and together with the little dumpling, she pulled Hu Yanqing away from here.

"Don't take her away! Otherwise she will die!" the high wizard suddenly shouted.

Upon hearing that Hu Yanqing's life was in danger, Xiao Tuanzi and Su Ruiling immediately stopped.

The great wizard stood up, enduring the pain in his back, and placed his hand on Huyan Qing's head, chanting strange incantations.

The little dumpling listened attentively, but found that it couldn't understand a single word. Strangely, as the great wizard finished his incantation, Hu Yanqing's breathing gradually became steady, and he returned to normal.

The great wizard withdrew his hand, his narrow eyes looking at the little girl, and said meaningfully, "Little princess, if you don't want her to die, stay far away from her. The farther you are from her, the safer she will be."

These words struck the little girl's heart like a hammer. She clenched her little fists and retorted, "Did you cast a spell on her?"

The great wizard was taken aback, not expecting that this little girl also knew about Gu magic! And she even guessed it!

Su Ruiling froze upon hearing about the curse, pointing at Hu Yanqing and asking the Grand Wizard, "Who exactly is she? Why would you cast a curse on her!"

The high priest's expression flickered with unease for a moment. "She is the king's maid. Besides, what is witchcraft? This servant does not understand such things."

"Hmph!" Su Ruiling didn't believe his words. She looked at Hu Yanqing and said, "Who exactly is she? Just take off her mask and we'll know!"

Yu Yiman stepped forward, "That's right, once we take off her mask and see her face, we'll know who she is!"

"Queen, you..." The Grand Wizard was both anxious and incredulous when he heard Yu Yiman say the same thing.

Seeing that the little boy had already rolled up his sleeves and was about to remove Huyan Qing's mask, the Grand Wizard quickly stopped him:

"This mask is not something that can be easily removed. If you try to remove it by force, her entire face will be torn apart along with the mask."
