The two exchanged a glance and recognized that the person was Cang Yuan.

Cang Yuan was hesitating whether to go in to find Qu Qingxi, but before he could make up his mind, he noticed someone walking towards him. Cang Yuan turned his head and saw Qu Qingxi and He Liufeng walking towards him.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Cang Yuan originally didn't want to perform the proper greetings, but upon seeing He Liufeng, he gave a simple bow.

"Young Master Lan, what are you doing here?" He Liufeng stared at the young man in front of him and spoke calmly. He naturally knew that Cang Yuan had been poisoned by Gu again.

Upon hearing this address, Cang Yuan was visibly taken aback, clearly disliking it but having no choice but to accept it.

"I've come to see the Princess about something." With He Liufeng by his side, Cang Yuan seemed somewhat restrained, not as at ease as before.

"What's wrong?" Qu Qingxi's expression relaxed slightly when she saw Cang Yuan. "Let's go inside and talk."

Cang Yuan stared at He Liufeng, seemingly wanting to say something but then hesitated. In the end, he said nothing and followed the two inside.

After the three of them sat down, a maid quickly brought them hot tea.

"Is there something you need from me? Or are you feeling unwell?" Qu Qingxi had composed herself and looked no different than usual.

"No, I'm in good health. It's just that after these two Dream-Eating Gu incidents, I'm a little afraid to sleep at night. I only dare to sleep for a short while during the day, and I keep having nightmares. I was thinking of asking the Princess to come over and see if the Dream-Eating Gu will have any other effects on my body after it's been resolved."

Cang Yuan gave a wry smile. His brows revealed his weariness, indicating that he hadn't had a good rest recently.

"Let me take a look at you." Qu Qingxi stood up and walked to Cang Yuan's side.

Cang Yuan obediently extended his wrist, watching Qu Qingxi carefully take his pulse, and asked curiously, "I didn't expect the Princess Consort to know medicine."

"I can only take a quick look. This is probably what they call 'experienced medicine through long illness.' I used to be sick often, and gradually I learned a little bit," Qu Qingxi explained with a faint smile.

Qu Qingxi said, quickly put her hand away, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "Your body seems to be fine, you're just a little overworked and haven't rested well. Actually, you don't need to think too much. Once the Dream-Eating Gu is drawn out, it won't have much of an impact on your body."

The reason you feel like you're having nightmares is because you're too worried about your health and somewhat afraid of the Dream-Eating Gu. So you unconsciously give yourself a suggestion that you'll be affected when you sleep, but this is just your psychological effect.

"Once you get back, just sleep peacefully. Don't worry too much; no one should break into the palace and cast another spell on you."

"So that's how it is. I thought it was the effect of the Dream-Eating Gu." Cang Yuan said somewhat embarrassedly, "I guess I was overthinking it."

"It's alright. You're just a child. It's understandable that you'd be afraid when you see something like this for the first time," Qu Qingxi comforted her.

"I'm not a child, I'm nineteen years old this year." Cang Yuan didn't expect Qu Qingxi to call him a child, his ears turned slightly red, and he felt a little embarrassed. He defended himself in a low voice.

"Okay, just go back and get some rest, don't think too much." Qu Qingxi nodded, charmed by Cang Yuan's adorable appearance.

"Your Highness, I noticed you didn't look well just now. Did something happen?" Cang Yuan looked at Qu Qingxi with a puzzled expression. Although he had only met Qu Qingxi a few times, he could tell that she was the kind of person who would remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her.

Cang Yuan was somewhat surprised to see the solemn look on Qu Qingxi's face.

"Since you've asked, I can't very well hide it from you," Qu Qingxi said, glancing at He Liufeng before slowly speaking.

"It's Dr. Gu, who helped me remove the Gu from you before. He was also infected with a Gu worm. This Gu is very troublesome. Dr. Gu and I are friends, which is why I'm so worried."

As Qu Qingxi spoke, she sighed, and the worry she had just been hiding on her face resurfaced.

"Even Doctor Gu has been poisoned by a Gu?" Cang Yuan was stunned, somewhat incredulous, but Qu Qingxi had no reason to deceive him. "Isn't the Gu he's been poisoned with the Dream-Eating Gu?"

If it were the Dream-Eating Gu, Qu Qingxi should be able to cure it, but it seems that she can't.

“If it’s the Dream-Eating Gu, then there is still a way to deal with it.” Qu Qingxi paused for a moment. “He was infected with the Golden Silkworm Gu. I’ve only heard of this kind of Gu, but I’ve never seen it before, and I don’t know how to deal with it.”

"Golden Silkworm Gu? Is it even more powerful than Dream Devouring Gu?" Cang Yuan asked, puzzled.

"I don't know either. I can cure the Dream-Eating Gu, but I have no knowledge of the Golden Silkworm Gu. I don't know how to lure the Gu out. I only know that the Golden Silkworm Gu is an extremely vicious Gu." Qu Qingxi shook her head helplessly.

"What should we do then? Are there any other people in the capital who can cure the curse?" Cang Yuan asked, his face full of worry.

"There probably isn't one, but I'll have someone investigate this matter thoroughly. However, I think the most important thing right now is to find the person who cast the Gu poison. Maybe if we catch him, we'll know how to cure this Gu poison."

"I will arrange for someone to investigate this matter." He Liufeng also looked gloomy.

"I hope we can find out who the murderer is as soon as possible, and then let him cure Doctor Gu. This person is too despicable," Cang Yuan said indignantly.

The candlelight in Qu Qingxi's room burned all night. Through the shadows cast by the window, it was clear that Qu Qingxi was sitting at the table, constantly flipping through books. Even He Liufeng was sitting beside her, helping Qu Qingxi search for information about the Golden Silkworm Gu.

For the next two days, a low-pressure atmosphere permeated the Prince's Mansion.

Gu Liangsheng, the person involved, showed no abnormality the next day. He just occasionally clutched his abdomen, his face full of pain. After the pain subsided, he acted as if nothing had happened and continued doing what he was supposed to do.

Qu Qingxi comes over every day to give Gu Liangsheng two acupuncture treatments to try to relieve his pain.

Seeing the guilty look on Qu Qingxi's face, Gu Liangsheng knew that there was still no news, no information about the Golden Silkworm Gu, and no information about the murderer.

Gu Liangsheng waved his hand dismissively, "Oh, it's nothing. Anyway, I've lived a very happy life for the past twenty years. I've seen everything I need to see, made a lot of money, and made a lot of good friends. So what if I die? It's no big deal."

"I'll figure something out." At this moment, any words of comfort seemed pale and powerless, and that was all Qu Qingxi could say. Everyone was hoping that a miracle would happen in the next moment.
