"You ungrateful little devil."

"As for what I mentioned, I'll leave that to Master when the time comes."

Yan Xun: "No problem."

...

"Tell me about what Emperor Junlan and Jin'er did in the capital."

Upon hearing this, Lan Ziyao thought, "Alright, everyone wants to hear it, so I have to repeat it every time..."

However, under the pressure of his martial uncle's tyranny, he still spoke up.

Otherwise, you might be poisoned, get an upset stomach, or experience itchy skin – these are all minor poisonings, and they're the most torturous...

...

"His Majesty."

"I'm fine."

Jin Yue bandaged Di Junlan's wounds, saying, "These are the best medicines; he should recover in half a month."

Thank you.

A hint of surprise flashed in Jin Yue's eyes before she applied medicine and bandaged his wound.

That night, Di Junlan went to the back mountain alone.

Looking at the person sitting on the rock, holding a gourd of wine in his hand, his posture was unrestrained and elegant, and his robes swayed in the wind.

"senior."

Yan Xun looked at him and said, "You're here."

"sit."

Emperor Junlan sat down on the ground next to Yan Xun, but leaned back slightly.

"Jin'er is not dead."

Emperor Junlan's pupils dilated, and he was about to stand up when he aggravated his wound. His expression changed, and someone pressed down on his shoulder.

"calm."

Emperor Junlan then calmed down.

"What do you mean by that, senior?"

"She is indeed dead, but there was a Gu worm in her body, which she must have put on herself before the incident."

"insanity?"

Yan Xun: "Yes, I found a book on Gu techniques in the medical books she was studying. She must be learning that ability. The first step is to learn how to cast Gu on herself."

"By a twist of fate, the first Gu she raised was a Heart-Protecting Gu."

Heart-protecting Gu.

Di Junlan was so anxious that he almost lost his temper due to excitement.

"And where is she now... Is she healthy... And what about the baby in her belly...?"
