Jiang Bai glanced at Song Shi on the bed and shook his head.
"Don't worry, if she makes a fuss, I have a way to handle it."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten Song Shi out of there.
In order to divert attention, they even sent a black-clad guard into the Prince Xin's residence to distract the Prince Xin's son.
She originally thought that the Prince Xin's mansion was trustworthy, but the fact that the Prince Xin's heir gave Song a calming soup made her doubt the Prince Xin's mansion.
The Gu poison on Song's body was also very strange.
There was also news about the Song family.
No matter how they searched before, there was no news. Even Ji Yanwen said that he had not found out where Song had gone after arriving in the capital.
Why did news emerge so quickly, within just one or two months, after the Black-Clad Guards were deployed?
All of this seemed too deliberate, as if someone had deliberately guided them to find out.
And Song's performance.
Her gaze fell on Song's face.
She suspected that Song might not actually be insane, but just pretended to be.
If that's the case, then the Crown Prince is not to be trusted.
She couldn't leave Song there, lest something really happen to her.
The Crown Prince of Xin ordered his soldiers to search the entire capital, but they found nothing.
After hearing his subordinate's report, his expression was unreadable.
"Someone, keep a close eye on Doctor Ji."
Although the two people seemed normal, he had a hunch that Jiang Bai's appearance at the Prince's Mansion and his search for Madam Song must be related to them.
"Have people keep a close eye on the pharmacies in the city. If anyone buys medicine to treat bone injuries or the Soul-Disrupting Gu, arrest them."
"yes."
The people from Prince Xin's mansion sprang into action.
The atmosphere in the capital became solemn, and a group of secret guards, carrying people on their backs, headed towards Nan'an County.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xuan Yi finally arrived in the capital.
He disguised himself as an old man and stayed at an inn in the city.
Upon entering the capital, he discovered that he was being watched. He didn't dare to go directly to Jiang Bai for a while. Only after nightfall did he release the Gu worms he had raised to knock out the guards, and then followed the marks of the Black-Clad Guards to the residence.
"master."
Upon arriving at the destination, he first bowed to Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai looked at him, a hint of apology on his face.
"It was wrong of me to ask you to come over so soon after your injury had just healed."
Most importantly, she shouldn't have directly severed his and Xuan Ye's hands and feet back then.
Neither of them is young, and their recovery ability is not as good as that of younger people.
This loss of both limbs must have severely damaged his health.
“Master, there’s no need to apologize. It’s just that my arms and legs are broken. With your strength, if you had used your full power, I’m afraid both Xuan Ye and I would have been broken.”
Xuan Yi smiled and shook his head; they truly harbored no resentment.
"In short, I acted impulsively."
Jiang Bai interrupted his explanation, led him to the bedside, and asked him to examine Song Shi.
The calming soup that Prince Xin gave to Lady Song had an unusually good effect; she did not wake up for two whole days.
Xuan Yi took out a small knife, made a small cut on Song Shi's wrist, and placed a Gu worm on it.
Soon, the Gu worm disappeared.
A moment later, the Gu worm emerged, and the man in black listened intently, as if to hear what the Gu worm was saying.
"Master, the one on the lady is the Soul-Disrupting Gu."
His expression was solemn.
"The one on her body seems to be the Soul-Disrupting Gu that my master raised."
The Black-Clad Guards did not pass their ranks from father to son, but from master to apprentice.
The current Xuan Yi is merely the disciple of the previous generation of Xuan Yi.
"You mean the Gu worms your master raised were stolen and infect my mother?"
"No, as far as I know, my master only raised one Chaos Soul Gu, and gave it to Miss Jing'an."
Jiang Bai was taken aback. As far as she knew, her maternal grandmother's name was Jing An.
"You mean, the Gu worms on my mother's body were likely instigated by her herself?"
Her maternal grandmother died early, and it is highly likely that she passed on the Gu worm given to her by the Xuanyi Guard to the Song family.
"good."
Xuan Yi nodded, and when she turned to look at Song Shi, her eyes showed a hint of heartache.
He didn't know under what circumstances she would choose to plant the Chaotic Soul Gu herself.
"And her mental state..."
"There must be a real problem, but because of the plant itself, he may have occasional moments of lucidity."
"Then why did she become quiet when she saw the Crown Prince?"
"Eleven told me that the Crown Prince of Xin must be special to her, which is why she is so calm."
Hearing Jiang Bai's words, Xuan Yi shook his head.
"He doesn't really understand Gu worms. He's not special compared to the Prince of Xin. Rather, it's more accurate to say that he might be wearing some kind of medicine that can calm Gu worms, which is why the lady was able to fall silent when she saw him."
Jiang Bai recalled carefully, and indeed there was a faint medicinal fragrance on the Prince of Xin's body.
It is clear that any specific person is fake.
It was only the effect of the drug that made Song dependent on him, making her hesitant to act against him.
"Can this Gu worm be cured?"
"When I received the message, I brought all the medicinal herbs. However, the checks were too strict when entering the city, and I didn't dare to bring the herbs to avoid being discovered."
"After the lady takes the medicine, your blood will be used as a catalyst to attract the Gu worms in order to remove the Gu."
The man in black looked troubled.
He discovered this as soon as he entered the city; the city was cracking down on people who bought antidote herbs, and anyone who showed their face would be discovered.
The capital city is not like other places; if you are discovered, you will have no chance of escaping.
Jiang Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.
"If we can't get treatment in the city, what about outside the city?"
"You mean..."
