Because of the Golden Silkworm Gu, Yuan Qi has recently been researching some methods to remove Gu worms. She saw a book that recorded a kind of herb that can repel insects, and she guessed that it could also repel this kind of low-level Lover Gu worm.
Moreover, when she was refining medicine last time, she also made a batch of insect repellent pills, about a hundred or so, to test if they were effective. If they were, she would let Tu Shanli take them to sell, which would bring in a considerable income.
She felt she couldn't let Jiang Jiulu continue like this; she had to expel the Gu worms from her body as soon as possible.
Most importantly, Xiao Zhen doesn't like Jiang Jiulu, yet he cast a love spell on her. No one knows what he's planning to do, but whatever he's planning, it's bound to be bad.
"Come with me to Peony Pavilion and tell me what you said and did at the Fifth Prince's residence. That way I'll know why the Fifth Prince won't see you, okay?"
Jiang Jiulu's heart, riddled with wounds, was soothed; she felt that there were still people in this world who understood and supported her.
She didn't realize that Yuan Qi was coaxing her, so she obediently followed Yuan Qi to the Peony Residence.
Wen Zhujun had just returned from outside and was holding a cup of hot tea. She poured a cup for each of them. Seeing Jiang Jiulu's red eyes, she asked, "Who bullied our Fifth Miss? Tell me, and I'll beat him up for you!"
Jiang Jiulu almost burst into tears again. She held the cup of tea and said thank you.
Seeing that the other person didn't want to talk about it, Wen Zhujun didn't ask. Instead, she tactfully took her teacup and went to the door to tease Shen Xun.
Yuan Qi took a black porcelain bottle from a box on the antique shelf, poured out a small pill from the bottle and handed it to Jiang Jiulu, lying to her, "I see you don't look well and your steps are unsteady. You almost fell just now. This is a tonic; it will make you feel better."
Jiang Jiulu didn't suspect that Yuan Qi would deceive her, and without thinking much about it, she swallowed the deworming pill directly.
She then began to recount her visit to the Fifth Prince's residence that day.
"Seventh Sister, I told you, you can't laugh at me." She said with a wronged expression, feeling sad when she thought about how she had confessed her love to the Fifth Prince at the gate of his residence.
Yuan Qi hummed in agreement, resting his chin on his hands as he listened attentively to her.
Jiang Jiulu slowly began to speak: "This morning, before I even had breakfast, I felt an overwhelming longing for the Fifth Prince. My feelings for him have reached the point where a day apart feels like three autumns. I even dreamt of our wedding last night. His Highness is so good to me. So I was thinking of going to see him today to discuss our marriage."
Yuan Qi let out an "oh" and was curious. This lover's curse could actually make people have sweet dreams. He wondered if her deworming medicine would work. If it didn't, he would have to think of another way.
"This is just a dream; you can't take it seriously. Do you think the Fifth Prince is in love with you?"
Jiang Jiulu was even more upset: "I don't know. I hurriedly ate a few bites of food and went to the gate of the Fifth Prince's residence. I told the gatekeeper that I wanted to discuss our marriage with the Fifth Prince. The gatekeeper just laughed and asked me when the Fifth Prince had said he would marry me. They even mocked me for being delusional. I scolded the gatekeeper and asked him to pass on my message. But the gatekeeper not only refused to pass on the message, but also mocked me for being shameless. In a fit of anger, I hit the gatekeeper, but he didn't dare to offend me. After all, I am the daughter of the Jiang family, one of the four great families, and he couldn't completely offend me. He could only go and report it."
Jiang Jiulu was immersed in grief and even raised her hand to wipe away the tear stains on her cheeks.
She continued, "Soon, the gatekeeper came out and said that the Fifth Prince was cultivating and had no time to see me, nor did he want to marry me. I was not giving up, so I told the gatekeeper that if the Fifth Prince did not see me, I would wait. The gatekeeper refused to inform the Fifth Prince again and closed the door. I waited outside the door and told the Fifth Prince about my love for him, hoping that he could hear me and then discuss the marriage with me."
Yuan Qi felt ashamed for Jiang Jiulu, who confessed her feelings to someone else's servants and was treated like a clown by everyone.
Fifth Prince, you've gone too far! Do you think the Jiang family has no one to rely on?
Yuan Qi felt extremely angry.
She held Jiang Jiulu's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll go with you to confront the Fifth Prince tomorrow."
Jiang Jiulu didn't want Yuan Qi to cause trouble for the Fifth Prince: "Don't do that. Even if you come with me, please beg him properly for me and say some nice things. Don't say anything harsh. If he gets angry, he will dislike me even more. Seventh Sister, you mustn't ruin my plans."
Yuan Qi grinned. This Lover's Gu is really powerful. Jiang Jiulu is actually thinking of Xiao Zhen in this way.
Completely oblivious to the fact that she had spent the entire day confessing her feelings in front of Xiao Zhen's residence, and that if word got out, Jiang Jiulu would never be able to face anyone again. How would the people of Kyoto laugh at her?
"Don't worry, I will make sure the Fifth Prince obediently comes to see you and apologizes to you."
Jiang Jiulu quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no, how can I let His Highness apologize to me? Even if I am wrong, it is my fault. His Highness is an outstanding person and would not make a mistake. As long as he is willing to talk to me about marriage, I would be willing to be his concubine. Seventh Sister, you are very capable, you must help me. I beg you, I cannot live without the Fifth Prince."
Yuan Qi truly experienced the power of the Love Gu. The Love Gu could turn a reserved and dignified woman into this. Not to mention in ancient times where everyone hid their true thoughts, such behavior was unacceptable. Even in her first life in the modern world where people were more open-minded, such a direct confession was still unacceptable. It was almost like moral blackmail.
Wen Zhujun's understanding of Jiang Jiulu was also refreshed. Wow, this is really something! The Fifth Miss has fallen deeply in love with the Fifth Prince.
Yuan Qi wanted to wait until the deworming medicine took effect and the Love Gu left Jiang Jiulu before making any further moves. However, a cup of tea's time passed and Jiang Jiulu still didn't react. Could it be that the deworming medicine she made was ineffective?
That can't be! I prepared the medicine according to the recipe in the book, how could it not work?
Jiang Jiulu seemed a little unwell. She clutched her stomach and frowned slightly, but the discomfort passed quickly. She didn't take it seriously and continued talking to Yuan Qi about what happened that day.
"Later, I saw that it was getting late, so I came back. On the way back, I was thinking that I should go to the Fifth Prince's residence again tomorrow. I don't believe he would bear to see me forever." Jiang Jiulu felt her stomach hurting more and more, and she needed to go to the toilet.
She stood up: "I'm not talking to you anymore, I need to use the restroom."
Yuan Qi chuckled and said that her medicine couldn't be ineffective.
I'm afraid that after Jiang Jiulu pulls out the Gu worm, she might think about what she has done and said in the past few days, and she might even want to crawl into a hole or commit suicide.
