Tianqing chuckled twice, and his clear eyes curved into crescents.

Qu Li came out of the bathtub, having made a decision.

No matter what the high priest was up to, or what tricks he had up his sleeve, she absolutely could not let him disrupt her rhythm.

The most important thing now is to get rid of the poison for the little emperor!

Thinking of this, in the middle of the night, Qu Li took advantage of the cover of space and easily sneaked into the palace and found the little emperor.

Both the little emperor and Zhao Yidao were accustomed to her sudden appearance.

"Sister Qu!"

The little emperor stayed up late reading the Art of War, his eyes bloodshot.

When he saw her, he was filled with surprise. He rushed over and pulled her to sit down.

Qu Li smiled and patted his head: "You are still a child. It is not good to stay up late like this every day. It affects your health."

The little emperor clenched his fist at her disapprovingly, "Sister Qu, have you seen my fist? It's very powerful! I'm fine!"

"Even though my fists are strong, I can't hold out for long!"

"Ms. Qu, you came here so late at night, but have you found a way to get rid of the poison?" Zhao Yidao's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"There is indeed a method to remove the sub-parasite! However..."

As if he could guess what Qu Li was worried about, the little emperor said with a firm face: "Sister Qu, since you already have a solution, then you can go ahead and do it boldly. I believe in you!"

These last four words gave Qu Li endless courage.

"After all, this is my first time using this kind of thing, so I might not be very skilled in operating it. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, remember to tell me."

"I said, I believe in Sister Qu!" The little emperor smiled at her.

Qu Li took a deep breath and let him lie down.

"I just need to lie down?"

Qu Li thought about it, took out another piece of candy from the space, peeled off the candy wrapper, and stuffed it into his mouth.

“So sweet.”

I don’t know if the candy is really sweet, or if the mischievous little emperor deliberately wants to calm her nervousness. He squinted his eyes in an exaggerated way, as if he wanted to swallow his tongue.

The smile in Qu Li's eyes grew deeper, "Okay, close your eyes for a moment..."

The little emperor blinked at her, his eyes sparkling with the candlelight.

"If I feel uncomfortable in any way, I will definitely tell Sister Qu! Sister Qu, just go ahead and do it. I trust you!"

She nodded and took out the wide-mouthed bottle from the space.

Seeing the little red bug in the jar, the little emperor sat up again, his face almost touching the wall of the glass jar.

"Can this little bug help me get rid of the Zi Gu?"

Qu Li raised the end of his eyebrows.

Just as she was about to explain to him what the Gu King was, she heard Zhao Yidao say, "Miss Qu, won't this thing hurt the Emperor?"

The curiosity on the little emperor's face disappeared, and his tone became a little gloomy: "Zhao Yidao, you don't believe Sister Qu?"

Zhao Yidao lowered his head, "I'm just afraid that this bug will harm the emperor."

"This is the Gu King. If you want to get rid of the child Gu without disturbing the mother Gu, you can only use the Gu King."

Zhao Yidao wanted to say something, but when he met the little emperor's displeased eyes, he could only close his mouth again.

Qu Li opened the wide-mouthed bottle, and the little red bug lay on her slender white hand, kicking its hind legs. It was super cute.

If he saw it unexpectedly outside, Zhao Yidao would never believe that such a cute little bug was actually the Gu King.

Noticing his gaze, Qu Li raised her eyes and raised her eyebrows at him.

The little red bug landed on the little emperor's arm and began to crawl around, searching.

The little emperor was a little ticklish, "Sister Qu, isn't it the Gu King?"

"They should be looking for Zi Gu."

The handwritten book that the medicine man had given her before clearly stated that the Gu King could easily find the location of any Gu worm, even if it was separated by a piece of iron.

The little emperor stopped talking and just waited quietly.

The little bug came to the little emperor's heart.

Zhao Yidao's expression gradually became solemn.

During this period, whenever the high priest persecuted the little emperor, the little emperor would indeed feel heartache.

He also suspected that the Gu might be in his heart, but he didn't know how to get rid of it.

Once the Gu King enters the heart...

He hardly dared to think further, and his whole body was tense with nervousness.

Qu Li asked the little emperor softly, "Are you scared?"

The little emperor stared at the little bug lying on his chest, and a huge fear quickly spread from the depths of his heart.

He is very scared!

But what he feared even more was that he would be constantly exploited by the high priest and would make more decisions that would be detrimental to those loyal ministers and Xiling.

"Sister Qu, I have already written the imperial edict of succession in advance, don't worry!"

He and Qu Li hit it off at first sight, and Qu Li and the high priest also had an irreconcilable hatred.

If something really happened to him, he would pass the throne to Qu Li, and believed that she would be able to help him develop Xiling well.

The situation is urgent now, and it is not the time to find out the contents of the decree of succession.

Qu Li held his hand and comforted him gently: "Don't be afraid, I believe Xiaohong."

As if it knew Qu Li was talking about it, the little bug that was about to burrow into the little emperor's flesh kicked its hind legs again.

It was not known whether it was because the little bug was too cute, or because Qu Li's palm was too warm, but the fear in the little emperor's heart slowly dissipated.

The little bug finally bit through his skin and flesh, causing a slight pain. The little emperor just frowned slightly.

"Does it hurt?" Qu Li asked.

"It's nothing, just like a mosquito bite."

Qu Li nodded: "Next, I will play the music."

"Yeah." The little emperor closed his eyes.

Just a pair of clenched fists still revealed his nervousness.

The music played by the leaves is very lively. In addition to commanding small insects, it can also paralyze insects.

The little bug successfully found the location of the sub-parasite and eliminated it completely before it could release its toxins in a lightning-fast manner.

On the other side, the mother insect in the high priest's body suddenly became restless.

The high priest frowned and raised his hand to press on his heart.

He asked someone to prepare a carriage and planned to enter the palace now.

However, when he walked to the door, the mother Gu regained her composure.

He looked puzzled.

"High Priest, the carriage is ready. Are you going to set off now?"

The high priest narrowed his eyes and said, "I won't go for now."

He sat down again and controlled the mother Gu. He didn't notice anything unusual, so he didn't think about it anymore.

On Qu Li's side, the music was still playing, but the little bug hadn't crawled out yet.

Zhao Yidao was a little uneasy. "Ms. Qu, is there really no problem? Why hasn't he come out after so long?"
