The Imperial Master said in a gentle voice, "Although the Second Prince has been deeply poisoned, the insects have not yet multiplied in his body, so he can still be saved."
Emperor Mingxi and the Crown Prince then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, we will fully cooperate with you on how to remove the poison!" the prince said hurriedly.
The Imperial Master nodded slightly, took out a small cloth bag from his bosom, opened it, and spread it on the small table beside him.
There were props of all sizes inside.
Then, the Imperial Preceptor inserted his hands under the Second Prince's armpits and pulled him up. "Your Highness, lend me a hand. Support him from behind."
The prince responded and helped the second prince to his feet.
The Imperial Master stepped forward, neatly undressed the Second Prince, and took off his shirt.
"Wuwuwu!" The second prince was still struggling, but the acupuncture points on his body made him unable to move, and his mouth was stuffed, so he could not say anything except "wuwuwu".
The Imperial Master stood before the Second Prince, his eyes tightly closed and his hands clasped together, as if concentrating on practicing his skills.
Emperor Mingxi and the Crown Prince both held their breath and dared not utter a sound.
After a moment, the Imperial Master suddenly opened his eyes and placed his palms on the Second Prince's chest.
"ah……"
In an instant, the Second Prince's facial features twisted and he let out an indistinct growl, as if he was in great pain.
At this time, a thumb-sized bulge appeared on the second prince's shoulder. The bulge quickly moved around his upper body, like a worm moving inside his body.
"Ah! That's it?" the prince exclaimed.
The Imperial Master said calmly, "That's right. I'll take the poisonous insect out right now and burn it. This thing won't harm anyone anymore!"
As he spoke, the Imperial Master picked up a knife of suitable size from the small table and held it in his hand.
"Wait a minute!" Emperor Mingxi shouted suddenly.
The Imperial Master was somewhat puzzled: "What's wrong, Your Majesty? Is there something wrong?"
Emperor Mingxi frowned and said, "If this poisonous insect is taken out and burned, will the person who put it there find out?"
"Of course she would find out! The person who put the poison in the insect controls it every day. If the insect dies, she would find out naturally if she found no response after controlling it." The Imperial Master said in a light tone.
The Crown Prince looked at Emperor Mingxi as if he had suddenly realized something. "Father, are you afraid that Wu Ya will find out? Then you won't be able to continue this drama?"
Emperor Mingxi sighed and said, "That's exactly what I meant."
The Imperial Master smiled faintly: "That's easy. I'll just remove the Gu and put it in a bottle. As long as the Gu worm survives, the person controlling it won't be able to detect it."
The brows of Emperor Mingxi and the Crown Prince relaxed instantly.
The Imperial Master used the same old trick again, using his internal energy to force the poisonous insect to run around in the Second Prince's body.
Then, he picked up the knife, aimed at the arched position of the insect, and stabbed it hard. A half-inch wound was instantly pierced on the second prince's skin, and blood quickly oozed out of the wound.
"Ahhh!" The second prince's groans became louder, his face turned black and purple, and his expression was hideous, looking extremely scary.
Immediately afterwards, a black object the size of a date pit came out from the blade.
The Imperial Master picked up the small porcelain bottle he had prepared, put the poisonous insect in it, and then put the stopper in the bottle.
Looking at the second prince again, his body suddenly twitched, and then he lost consciousness and fainted.
"It's done!" The imperial master looked at the small porcelain bottle, as if he was admiring his own work.
Emperor Mingxi took out a handkerchief and quickly pressed the Second Prince's throat, his eyes moist with distress: "What happened to Chengnian? Why did he faint?"
The Crown Prince was now holding the Second Prince tightly in his arms, sweat breaking out on his forehead with anxiety.
"Don't worry, don't worry!" The national teacher waved his hand and comforted.
"The Second Prince has been poisoned for a long time. Although his heart meridians have not been damaged and his life is not in danger, his internal organs have been affected."
"He needs to rest for a few days and take some tonic medicine before he can recover as normal."
"But you don't have to worry."
Emperor Mingxi's frown finally relaxed a little: "That's good!"
The Imperial Master gave a few more instructions and then left.
Emperor Mingxi immediately ordered Debao to vacate a small room behind the imperial study and move the second prince there. He also had someone notify the empress.
A quarter of an hour later, the second prince slowly woke up.
"Chengnian, you're awake!" The queen sat beside the bed, tears in her eyes.
"Second brother, you scared us to death!" Xia Miaoyuan held the second prince's hand and looked at him nervously.
Although the Second Prince's face was gray and ugly, his eyes had become clear, just like usual.
The second prince looked up blankly and took a quick look, only to see Emperor Mingxi, the empress, the crown prince, and his sister were all there.
"What's wrong with me?" the second prince murmured.
As he said this, he forced himself to stand up and sit up.
"Second brother, do you remember? What strange things did you do recently? Do you know? You were poisoned and your mind was controlled by someone."
"The Imperial Master just removed the poison from you. Then you fainted and just woke up now." Xia Miaoyuan briefly recounted the situation like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
The Second Prince held his forehead with his hand and said, "I, was actually poisoned? How could this happen?"
The Queen said gently, "Do you still remember that Miss Wuya in your palace? She must have been the one who planted this poison."
"Do you remember how you met her?"
The Second Prince exclaimed in surprise, "Wu Ya! Is it her?"
"How could it be her?"
The second prince stared in disbelief and looked at everyone blankly.
After a long silence, the Second Prince finally spoke: "However, now that you mention it, I seem to have been a bit off lately."
