"Is there anyone other than a wizard who can cure this curse?"
Gao Junning thought for a moment and then asked.
The sorcerer is Father's man. If we ask the sorcerer to remove the curse from my sister, Father will definitely find out. Then Father will think that he was incompetent and incapable, which is why my sister is in this state.
Therefore, he absolutely cannot invite a wizard.
"Well... there's also the former Imperial Preceptor. Perhaps we could ask him if he knows anyone who can cure this curse. After all, the Imperial Preceptor knows more people in the martial arts world than we do."
The doctor pondered.
"Alright, prepare pen and ink, I'll write another letter to the Grand Preceptor right away."
Gao Junning said.
He still planned to try to find a solution privately first.
"Young master, what about the princess?"
At this moment, the two maids beside Gao Yufei looked at Gao Junning expectantly and asked.
The curse hasn't been lifted yet, so once the princess wakes up, she'll definitely make a scene and insist on seeing that man.
If she knew her brother had arrested a man, she might cause a scene.
When Gao Junning was asked this question, he naturally thought of this aspect as well.
His expression darkened slightly, and he instructed the guards around him: "Until the curse is lifted, you must keep a close watch on the princess at all times. If you find her going to see that man, knock her unconscious."
"The princess must never see that man again. Also, that man must be kept locked up tight; don't let him escape."
"yes."
The guard bowed and responded.
After giving all the instructions, Gao Junning left the house and went to his study to have some peace and quiet.
He carefully recalled what happened that day, trying to figure out why the Gu worm was on this man, and whether he had seen this man that day.
Yes, have you seen it?
Suddenly, Gao Junning became alert. He needed to investigate this man's background. His Gu worm was lost at the restaurant that day, so this man must have been to the restaurant and had come into contact with him.
So Gao Junning ordered people to investigate.
Two days later, he finally found out the man's background. He learned that the man had been a waiter at the restaurant and had resigned the day after the incident.
To his even greater surprise, the real owner behind that restaurant was actually Su Liluo!
"It really is her!"
Gao Junning gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.
He suddenly realized that Su Liluo had planned all of this long ago. She had harmed his sister so much, and he was determined to avenge her!
He was immediately blinded by rage, grabbed his sword, and led his men toward the Crown Prince's residence.
*
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! That young master Gao has stormed into the Crown Prince's residence, demanding to see you!"
A young maidservant ran nervously to Su Liluo's courtyard and shouted loudly.
At that moment, Su Liluo was tending to the flowers and plants in the courtyard when she heard the sound and looked towards the maid.
"Gao Junning? What has he been saying outside?"
"He said you were the one who harmed his sister, and he's here to seek justice for her!"
"Seeking justice? Hah, he's got some nerve!"
Su Liluo gave a sarcastic laugh.
He who does many evil deeds will surely perish. He harmed his own sister, and now he's blaming her for it.
"Okay, let's go see what this joke is like."
Su Liluo put down the tool she was using to scoop water for the flowers and said casually.
"Your Highness, you have such a wicked heart! How could you hurt my sister like this!"
Gao Junning was invited to the hall. When he saw Su Liluo appear, he got excited and started yelling at her without thinking.
"Smack!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Su Liluo appeared in front of Gao Junning with lightning speed and slapped him across the face.
"Young Master Gao, please be careful with your words. In terms of status, I am the Crown Princess of Liang, while you, although the son of the Regent of the Northern Desert, have not been named the heir apparent."
"We are still on the territory of my Great Liang, and you dare to shout at me like that? Please recognize the situation."
Su Liluo's clear, cold, and sharp voice slowly fell to the ground.
Although Gao Junning was furious, Su Liluo's clear words made him understand in an instant.
He acted impulsively.
"Why did you put the Gu worm into a lowly person? Just to humiliate my sister? All she wanted was to marry the Crown Prince, what's wrong with that? To ruin a woman like this, isn't that too vicious!"
Gao Junning gradually calmed down and asked in a normal tone.
However, his eyes still couldn't completely hide his anger.
"What evidence do you have that I administered it? And what kind of poison is it? I don't understand."
When Su Liluo saw Gao Junning say this, she guessed that Gao Yufei had probably already reaped what she sowed.
She couldn't help but feel happy.
"It's that worm I was carrying when I met you that day. Why did it end up on that lowly person!"
At this point, Gao Junning stopped pretending and spoke his mind directly.
"Oh! You even brought insects with you that day? It seems Young Master Gao was trying to harm me and the Crown Prince. You two have made a mistake and are reaping the consequences, so how can you blame us?"
Su Liluo covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with undisguised laughter.
Gao Junning was so angry that his eyes turned red. "That worm should have been on the Crown Prince. Did you deliberately put it on that lowly person?"
"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't? Is that Gu worm mine? If we were to investigate, it would only reveal that you plotted to harm the Crown Prince of Great Liang. What can you do to us then?"
Su Lilu chuckled lightly, then looked at Gao Junning provocatively.
Gao Junning's body trembled. Yes, what could he do?
The Gu worm was brought by him; if we really want to investigate carefully, it's their fault.
He was so angry that he lost his mind and thought of seeking revenge and justice from the Crown Princess.
Now that things have turned out this way, he can only suffer in silence, unable to express his bitterness.
After giving Su Lilu a few reluctant glances, Gao Junning finally obediently left the Crown Prince's residence.
"Someone, go and find out how things are going with Gao Yufei."
After Gao Junning left, Su Liluo called out someone else.
She didn't get to hear Gao Junning explain in detail, but she was eager to see what would happen, which she considered as interest she was getting from them!
*
Several more days passed before Gao Junning finally received a letter from the former imperial advisor.
The letter said that the Imperial Advisor would send someone who could remove the curse to help him, and it would take about half a month for them to arrive.
Gao Junning was overjoyed, thinking that this matter could be completely covered up after his sister was freed from the curse.
But he didn't expect that the poison in Gao Yufei's body was so potent that it could make her poison her own people.
In her quest to see that man, Gao Yufei completely lost control of herself. One day, after waking up, she poisoned everyone in her courtyard.
Then, she took the opportunity to find that man and ran away with him.
This matter escalated so much that it naturally alarmed the Regent.
