Upon hearing Xuan Yuanpeng's cough, Zong Jiu hurriedly entered the inner hall: "Your Majesty, you're awake."
Zong Jiu helped Xuan Yuanpeng up and gave him a large pillow to lean against.
"Your Majesty, how are you feeling?" Zong Jiu was pleased to see that Xuan Yuanpeng's complexion was much better than it had been two days ago.
"I feel much better." Xuan Yuanpeng had a good sleep and felt much better. "Please invite Doctor Luo and Master Daoyi in."
"yes."
Zong Jiu agreed and hurriedly tried to come out to greet them.
But before he could come out, Pei Luo and Dao Yi came in together.
Xuanyuan Peng looked at the two men gratefully and said, "Thank you both, I feel much better today."
Dao Yi glanced at Pei Luo and smiled, "Dr. Luo's medical skills are naturally beyond question. You are fortunate to be treated by Dr. Luo."
Xuanyuan Peng was quite sincere and thanked Pei Luo sincerely again: "Thank you very much, Doctor Luo. Your medical skills are indeed well-deserved."
Pei Luo raised an eyebrow indifferently: "No need to thank me. My willingness to enter the palace is also due to the Holy King's Mansion."
If it weren't for Ning'er and Bai Yatou, he probably wouldn't have gotten involved in such a matter.
"Regardless, I still want to thank you." Xuan Yuanpeng naturally knew that they were invited by the Bai family, but he still wanted to express his gratitude.
After all, he was able to sleep so well last night thanks to this divine doctor, Dr. Luo.
Xuanyuan Peng recalled what he had just heard and frowned as he looked at Dao Yi: "Master Dao Yi just said that I am afflicted with the Puppet Gu?"
"Yes." Now that things had come to this, Dao Yi didn't want to hide it from him anymore.
"I know nothing about the Gu worms of the Southern Frontier. May I ask Master Daoyi to explain this Puppet Gu?" Xuan Yuanpeng was very calm at the moment. He was neither shocked nor saddened by the fact that he had been infected with the Puppet Gu, nor was he angry that Xuan Yuanyu had given him such a Gu.
He just wanted to know what this puppet gu was.
The others also looked at Dao Yi with curiosity.
"Puppet Gu is a type of Gu worm that can control people's minds. It is also a mother-child Gu. Generally, the person who casts the Gu will introduce the mother Gu and use the mother Gu to control the child Gu, thereby controlling the thoughts and behaviors of the person who is afflicted by the Gu."
To be honest, Dao Yi knew very little about this Puppet Gu. But as far as he knew, the Puppet Gu should be like this.
Hang Yuqing and Zong Jiu were both greatly surprised upon hearing this.
So the Third Prince used the puppet Gu on the Emperor in an attempt to control him. He really dared to think that way! If he controlled the Emperor, the Emperor would pass the throne to him!
Xuanyuan Peng, however, showed no surprise, as if he had anticipated Xuanyuan Yu's purpose all along.
"Can this Gu worm be cured?"
Seeing Xuanyuan Peng so calm, Dao Yi was truly impressed!
He had always treated Bai Yatou as a woman, but he couldn't treat Xuan Yuanpeng as a son-in-law. Although he wasn't yet at the level of a son-in-law, he could now understand why Bai Yatou was willing to be with this man.
He does have a bit of an imperial air about him!
“Amitabha, this humble monk is merely a monk, and my understanding of the Gu techniques of the Southern Frontier comes entirely from classical texts. I fear I am unable to undo this puppet Gu. However, in my humble opinion, to remove the puppet Gu, one must at least first find the mother Gu.”
Anyway, it seems that when Youyi was trying to remove the curse from Zhan's wife, he first had to find the mother curse.
Xuanyuan Peng watched as Dao Yi suddenly started chanting "Amitabha" and "this humble monk," and he almost laughed.
It is said that Master Daoyi of Bailong Temple has profound Buddhist knowledge. Now it seems that he doesn't know whether his Buddhist knowledge is profound or not, but he is still very approachable.
Dao Yi couldn't cure the Gu, but Xuan Yuanpeng wasn't sad or upset: "Finding the mother Gu shouldn't be difficult; the difficulty lies in not knowing how to cure it."
Dao Yi was truly impressed by Xuan Yuanpeng's calm demeanor and couldn't help but comfort him, saying, "Doctor Luo has a junior brother who is very skilled in Gu techniques, but he is not in the capital of Eastern Chu at the moment and will need some time to get here."
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Peng immediately looked at Pei Luo.
Pei Luo nodded: "Yes, he's not in Kyoto right now. We can ask him to come and take a look at you when he gets back."
Xuanyuan Peng then smiled, as if he had seen hope: "Thank you, Doctor Luo, and thank you, Master Daoyi, for your hard work as well."
Xuanyuan Peng didn't even ask his junior brother, Doctor Luo, when he would return to the capital.
He believed in Ya'er. Ya'er had even sought out Doctor Luo and Master Daoyi. If someone could really cure him of the curse, Ya'er would definitely find a way to do so.
"There is one more thing I would like to ask Master Daoyi."
Xuanyuan Peng's sudden question startled Dao Yi: "Go on, tell me."
Having not slept for two days and two nights, Dao Yi's mind was starting to get all jumbled up.
"You just said that the person who cast the Gu has not yet officially activated the puppet Gu within me. I want to know if I will still be controlled by the person who cast the Gu in the future?"
He is not under control now, but there is no guarantee that his thoughts and actions will be controlled in the future.
Of course, being a puppet isn't scary; what's scary is that he does things that harm Ya'er and Zhan'er. If he really does, even if his mind is clouded and he's being controlled, he'll hate himself to death.
"Of course it will!" Dao Yi knew what Xuan Yuanpeng was worried about, but he couldn't lie to him: "The person who planted the Gu hasn't officially activated the puppet Gu yet, which means the sub-Gu in your body hasn't officially received the command, so you're still conscious. But when he activates the puppet Gu one day, your thoughts and actions will likely be controlled by him."
Xuanyuan Peng frowned, somewhat worried: "Is there any way to keep me sober?"
He couldn't remove the curse for the time being, and he didn't want to think about it for the time being, but he didn't want to be controlled or become a puppet.
"This..." Dao Yi said with shame, "I'm really sorry, I have no way to help you."
He had no knowledge of this puppet gu, so he had no idea how to prevent it from being controlled.
Xuanyuan Peng was immediately disappointed and also became flustered.
He was really afraid that if he were controlled, he would hurt Ya'er and Zhan'er without realizing it!
If it was Xuanyuan Yu who cast this puppet gu, then he really might harm Ya'er and Zhan'er. He doesn't want that to happen!
Dao Yi thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll go back and do some more research to see if there's a way to make you uncontrollable."
He could only go back and consult the classics; there was no other way.
Xuanyuan Peng didn't want to make things difficult for him: "No matter what, I have to thank you both."
"Don't mention it, we didn't do this for you." Dao Yi glanced at the bright sky outside: "It's getting late, we should go back."
"Let Zong Jiu escort you out," Xuan Yuanpeng gestured to Zong Jiu.
Pei Luo said, "No need to see us off, lest we alert them. Let's just go back the way we came."
As Pei Luo spoke, he grabbed Dao Yi and flew off the roof.
"Your subordinates take their leave." Ye Shui and Ye Bing were about to take their leave when they heard Xuan Yuanpeng say, "Wait a moment, you two, and help me send out a few secret edicts."
Ye Shui and Ye Bing exchanged a glance and stayed together.
