As the extremely fishy smell came, Xiao Ruyu covered her mouth and nose, her stomach churning.

[Why is this insect so smelly! ]

She asked Eleven to open the doors and windows with disgust, and called the servants to take the body of the poisonous insect out.

After Lu Huaikun spat out the poisonous insect, his face became visibly redder and his energy and spirit recovered a little.

He looked at himself in disbelief and spoke tremblingly, "Am I... okay?"

Doctor Yang helped him lie down, checked his pulse again, and nodded slightly.

"Your pulse has stabilized. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to take care of your body. You'll be able to get out of bed in a few days."

"Thank you so much, Doctor Yang, little princess..."

He opened his mouth, but when Doctor Yang winked at him, he swallowed his words back.

"I know, I won't say anything..."

Lu Huaikun held Doctor Yang's hand gratefully and was reluctant to let go.

"Well, there's no need to talk about our friendship. I still have to go and treat other officials."

Doctor Yang gently pushed his hand away, picked up the medical box and prepared to go to other mansions.

Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and whispered, "Lord Lu, don't announce your recovery for now. We haven't caught the man behind this yet."

Lu Huaikun was stunned at first, then agreed without hesitation.

After leaving Lu's house, Xiao Ruyu looked up and asked Doctor Yang.

[Master, is this to avoid alerting the enemy? ]

Doctor Yang nodded, his expression solemn, "We haven't caught Lu Zongyuan yet. When Master returns, we will report this to the emperor first."

"Let's see what the Emperor decides..."

He took Xiao Ruyu to several officials' residences and found that they were all poisoned by Gu without exception.

After cleaning up one by one, Xiao Ruyu was a little exhausted, but at the same time he made a new discovery.

[Once these poisonous insects leave the human body, they will automatically explode and die. ]

She felt a little disappointed. Her previous idea of ​​using the child Gu to track the mother Gu was extinguished, but she secretly used her spiritual power to leave behind another Gu worm.

After returning to the palace, Xiao Ruyu collapsed on the bed, feeling exhausted.

But thinking of the poisonous insect in her arms, she forced her eyelids open and took out the insect.

If the Gu worm leaves the human body, it will explode and die. On the contrary, if the Gu worm is put into the body...

You can sense the existence of the mother Gu, and then you can find the person who put the Gu in your body!

Xiao Ruyu clenched her teeth. There was nothing else she could do at the moment, so she made up her mind to put the insect into her mouth.

"Little princess, no!"

The door was pushed open, and Eleven rushed in and snatched the insect from her hand.

Before Xiao Ruyu could react, he swallowed the insect into his mouth.

【eleven!】

【What are you doing? ! 】

Xiao Ruyu was so frightened that she almost jumped up from the bed. She went forward to pry open Shiyi's mouth, but found that he had already swallowed the insect.

She was a little anxious and her face turned red.

[Do you know what that is?! It’s a poisonous insect! ]

[Spit it out! ]

Xiao Ruyu didn't care about anything else and reached out to grab Shiyi's throat, wanting him to spit it out.

Eleven dodged lightly, leaving her empty-handed, but his eyes were firm.

"Eleven naturally knows what this is."

"If Eleven doesn't eat it, won't the little princess have to eat it too?"

"Don't take any risks, little princess."

Xiao Ruyu was stunned and asked subconsciously.

[How did you know? ]

"During the day, Eleven saw the little princess using her spiritual power to secretly hide the poisonous insect."

"I guessed that the little princess wanted to use her body to attract the Gu." Eleven reached out to touch her head and shook his head slightly, "Eleven can't let the little princess do such a dangerous thing."

"Eleven is willing to be the test subject."

When she raised her head and met his dark pupils, Xiao Ruyu's heart skipped a beat.

[But... this is risky... I don't want you to take the risk. ]

"Eleven doesn't want the little princess to take risks."

Eleven met her gaze seriously and firmly.

Xiao Ruyu felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes. She felt both moved and distressed.

She threw herself into Eleven's arms and spoke with sobs.

[Don’t do this next time. ]

When the sub-gu first entered the body, there was no obvious reaction.

Even so, Xiao Ruyu still nervously held Eleven's hand and stared at him without slacking off.

"elder sister……"

Just as I was sweating with nervousness, Xiao Rujin's weak voice came from the door.

"Can I come in?" He looked in carefully, but seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, he didn't dare to step in.

Xiao Ruyu realized that she was too tense, so she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

【Come in. 】

As soon as Xiao Rujin stepped into the room, he noticed something was wrong.

He moved closer to Eleven, sniffed the scent, and looked a little strange.

[What's wrong? Does Eleven smell bad? ]

Xiao Ruyu asked in confusion, somewhat confused.

Xiao Rujin shook his head slightly, then raised his head and looked at Eleven seriously, "Eleven, have you been poisoned?"

After these words were spoken, not only Eleven was shocked, but Xiao Ruyu was also very surprised.

[Stinky brother, how did you know? ]

"It's... just a weird feeling."

Xiao Rujin couldn't explain it either. "As soon as I saw Eleven, I felt that he had a poisonous insect in his body."

Xiao Ruyu had never encountered such a situation before. She pondered for a moment and took Xiao Rujin's pulse.

Sure enough, his pulse was much faster than usual.

Her guess was not wrong!

It is precisely because there is also a sub-Gu in Xiao Rujin's body that she can sense other people who are poisoned.

After telling the two of them about this discovery, Xiao Rujin was also very surprised.

"So that's how it is..."

He looked down at his pulse, lost in thought.

Xiao Ruyu knew what he was thinking and reached out to touch his head.

[Don't worry, little brother. I will drive this poison out of your body sooner or later.]

The most important thing right now is the poisonous insect in Eleven’s body!

Another hour passed, and Eleven still showed no signs of being poisoned. Xiao Ruyu became a little impatient and took his pulse.

Strange, this insect...

[Eleven, why is the poisonous insect in your body motionless? ]

Xiao Ruyu was extremely confused and couldn't figure out the matter.

She watched the poisonous insect go into her stomach with her own eyes, so why can't she find any trace of it now?

Eleven was also confused and looked nervous, "Then what should we do next?"

Xiao Ruyu sighed, and remembered that the imperial physician had several books on witchcraft in his possession, so he suggested checking them out.

【First, go and look through the book to see where the problem lies. 】

Without further ado, she immediately went to the imperial physician to look through the book.

The contents of the imperial physician's instructions were very limited, and Xiao Ruyu did not find any relevant information at all.

Just as she slumped on the ground in frustration, a familiar book not far away caught her attention.

A book without words?

Xiao Ruyu moved closer and was surprised to find something unusual.

The book, which was originally empty, now had a few more pages of words!
