Meanwhile, the doctor had already taken Liu's pulse and shook his head, saying, "Princess Liu, where do you feel uncomfortable?" Because after taking Liu's pulse, he hadn't found anything wrong.
"My stomach hurts, and I just fell. Doctor, please check if my baby is alright!" Liu said in a panic.
"Princess, please don't panic. Let me take another look." The doctor had no choice but to take Liu's pulse again.
Lanqin and Sihua stood to the side with slightly furrowed brows, their minds growing increasingly puzzled. The doctor seemed to be perfectly fine, yet Liu herself kept saying she felt unwell.
Lanqin sensed something was amiss and gave Sihua a meaningful look. Sihua understood and suddenly said, "Master, when I called the doctor over just now, the Sixth Prince seemed to be doing better. Please go back quickly, Master. Perhaps I should stay here and report back immediately if there are any results."
Lanqin immediately said to Cuizhu, "Your mistress, I think there's nothing seriously wrong. Have the painter and the doctor watch over him here. I need to go back and check on the Sixth Prince first."
Seeing Lanqin say this, Cuizhu and Liu Shi naturally couldn't refute it, so they had no choice but to let Lanqin leave.
Meanwhile, Doctor Yang and Shui Ling, who were expelling the Gu worm from Mu Qingyang, were on tenterhooks. As his complexion worsened and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, it meant that the deadly Gu worm was crawling out.
"Shui Ling, look at his nose!" Physician Yang said in a very low voice, keeping his mind focused.
"Yes, I'm ready at any time," Shui Ling replied.
Finally, the disgusting, bone-devouring Gu worm poked its head out of Mu Qingyang's nostrils. Shui Ling felt utterly nauseous, but she forced herself to stay upright with immense willpower, staring intently at the creature. Doctor Yang had said that she couldn't catch it now, because it was extremely cunning; if she wasn't careful, she wouldn't be able to catch it, and it would be almost impossible to lure it out again.
Physician Yang was an experienced doctor who had seen all sorts of strange illnesses. When he saw this scene, his hands and feet trembled, but he managed to keep moving his hands thanks to the strong self-control of a doctor.
The melodious ringing of bells drifted in from outside, while the enticing smoke from Physician Yang's fan was drawing the wretched little creature to wriggle its fat body and crawl outside.
Little by little, the worm crawled out about halfway. It was extremely cautious, almost probing in and out three times in a row, testing its surroundings. It turned out that this thing had no eyes or ears, relying solely on its sense of smell and sound waves to perceive the outside world.
Even though Physician Yang knew that it couldn't hear or see at all, he still only dared to use an extremely weak voice to tell Shui Ling that she could start her treatment in a little while.
Shui Ling nodded, indicating that she understood. Her eyes were fixed on the fleshy thing, and the wick in her right hand was already raised. She was just waiting for the worm to crawl out a little more before she could make her move.
"Awoo!!"
"ah!!"
Just then, the sound of an old cat meowing suddenly rang out outside, followed by the startled scream of the maid ringing the bell. The bell was then stopped ringing, and panic erupted outside.
Both Physician Yang and Shui Ling were startled by the situation outside. The Gu worm that was clinging to Mu Qingyang's nose seemed to have suddenly sensed the change in sound waves and stopped wriggling.
Upon seeing this situation, Physician Yang didn't have time to think further and immediately gave Shui Ling a signal to act, because the Gu worm was very suspicious, and if they waited any longer, it might retreat.
No sooner said than done! Shui Ling raised her right hand and pinched it against the Gu worm. The thing seemed to sense something and tried to back away, but it had already extended halfway out and couldn't possibly retract in an instant.
Shui Ling's hands were also very precise; she quickly grasped the body of the Gu worm. Physician Yang let out a long sigh of relief and suddenly exclaimed, "Quickly, pull it out!"
Just as Shui Ling was about to raise her hand to pull the hind half of the Gu worm out of Mu Qingyang's nose, the thing suddenly severed its forelimbs like a gecko...
Meanwhile, Lanqin hurried towards Yueyun Residence at the end of the month. She suddenly realized that Liu had summoned her at this time for some purpose, especially since it was a critical moment when Mu Qingyang's life was at stake.
Thinking of all this, Lanqin felt a chill run down her spine. This Liu woman looked frail and pure, but her methods were so treacherous.
Meanwhile, Liu let the doctor examine her for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"Doctor, I feel a bit better. I'm afraid it's just because I've been worrying too much. Thank you for your help," Liu said to the doctor.
"That's probably it. The princess's pregnancy is stable and there's nothing to worry about. I'll prescribe some more calming and soothing medicine for her." The doctor put away the pillowcase.
"Then I'll trouble you. Cuizhu, go and ask the doctor for a prescription," said Madam Liu.
The painter saw that Lady Liu was indeed unharmed, and she was furious, but she dared not speak out because of her status. She could only say, "Since Lady Liu is alright, then this servant must go and report to the concubine."
"I'm so sorry to trouble you, Miss Sihua. Please convey my gratitude to the concubine on behalf of the princess, I'm sorry to have worried her," Liu said apologetically.
After Si Hua left, Cui Zhu instructed a maid to follow the doctor out to get the medicine, while she herself immediately returned to Liu's bedroom.
"I wonder how things are going with Xiao Jinzi!" Liu Shi had already sat up in bed.
“He said that among those maids who ring the bell, Tao Hong is most afraid of cats. If a cat frightens her, she’ll be terrified,” Cui Zhu said.
"Hmm, I never expected they would find a way to wake him up. I had no choice but to resort to this tactic. As long as Mu Qingyang never wakes up, the matter will never be resolved." Liu's eyes were filled with a sinister aura.
“Yes, I heard that once that thing knows something is trying to lure it, it won’t fall for it again,” Cuizhu said.
"I hope my letter has reached Father's ears, and that all those who know about it have been properly settled so they can't find anything," Liu said. She raised her hand to stroke her belly and sighed, "You must be strong enough to be a prince. That way, Mother's position in this household will be secure."
Meanwhile, after Lanqin and Sihua arrived at Yue Di Yun Ju, they stayed inside for a whole day without coming out. All the servants inside were sent out to wait and were not allowed to enter. Whether Mu Qingyang's life was saved or not, no one knew.
