"Father, what's the matter with calling your son here?" After receiving the news, Xie Changming immediately rushed to the backyard. Seeing his father's serious look, he must be discussing something important.

"Ming'er, there is still one person missing from Sword Tomb." Xie Yihui sighed slowly and turned around, narrowing his narrow eyes. Xie Changming learned that Gongsun Ningxue was absconding and must know some secrets about the transaction between Sword Tomb and them. Whether he knew it or not, he had to bring Gongsun Ningxue back.

"My son understands and will handle this matter with caution."

Xie Changming left and asked his men to look for news about Gongsun Ningxue. At this time, Gongsun Ningxue was still tied up in a small dark room, without seeing the sun. She hadn't heard any movement from anyone in the past two days. Could it be that the brothers here had moved to another place? But why did the eldest brother still lock her up here and not let her go out?

She cried out to heaven and earth for help but to no avail. She had to gather all her internal energy and break all the ropes on her hands and feet during the transportation process. Only then did she untie the ropes on her body. She was overjoyed and rushed to the door, only to find that there was no one there.

"Is anyone here?" Gongsun Ningxue looked around, but found no one here. Feeling puzzled, she rushed to Gongsun Mansion, only to find that it had been sealed off by the imperial court.

There was a group of militiamen patrolling not far away, so she quickly went to a nearby inn, changed into civilian clothes, and blended in with the people.

"Auntie, what's going on in the Gongsun Mansion?" Gongsun Ningxue didn't know what changes had happened in the past few days, so she casually asked a passerby. The old lady talked incessantly, describing the turmoil and chaos that had happened in the past few days, and she exaggerated it. Gongsun Ningxue's blood boiled when she heard it.

"Zhao Wangfu was attacked?" Gongsun Ningxue couldn't believe what she heard was true. Could it be that this group of people was mobilized by her brother? Are they really going to go against the court? "Yes..."

The old lady continued to speak, but Gongsun Ningxue seemed a little distracted.

Prince Zhao's Palace.

Shen Aojun gently wiped the sweat off Gu Yunru's forehead with a handkerchief, then looked at Rong Zhen, who had a jade-like figure, and said, "Your Highness, don't you think her body has changed a lot these days? I always feel that she is weak and out of breath."

Shen Aojun, who has become a doctor after suffering from long-term illness, has found some clues. Every time he sees Gu Yunru, although she has a happy smile on her face, one can also see how powerless her smile is.

"I have also seen that. It seems that Doctor Hu is a useless piece of rubbish." Rong Zhen said lazily. Doctor Hu, who was sorting the medicine box at the side, was so scared when he heard it that he quickly knelt down in front of him, kowtowing and wiping his tears.

"Your Highness... I am not an expert in medicine, please forgive me." Doctor Hu Hu knelt and trembled. Seeing this, Shen Aojun helped him up and said, "Doctor, what are you talking about? I just said it casually. I feel that the princess's illness is not as simple as being frightened.

Doctor Hu, please take a closer look at her. I'm afraid something might happen to the princess. Shen Aojun also wanted to be on the safe side and asked Doctor Hu to take a closer look to see if he could find any clues.

After hearing this, Doctor Hu took two needles and inserted them into the acupuncture points on Gu Yunru's head. This way he could visually observe the subtle changes in Gu Yunru's body. Sure enough, he found something wrong, as if something was moving inside her body.

Moreover, her vitality was extremely strong. If she had not been stimulated, no one would have discovered the abnormality in her body. After telling the two about this strange scene, Shen Aojun sat up from the bed in shock. "What kind of evil magic is this? Could it be that someone has planted a Gu in her body?"

She had seen records of witchcraft in ancient books, but she didn't expect such a strange scene to happen. Gu Yunru was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She could hear someone talking next to her, but her body could not move, as if it was fixed by something.

"Gu?" Rong Zhen was full of awe for this word.

The descendants of the Wu Gu tribe were discovered before, and I thought the matter had been settled, but I didn’t expect it to arise again today.

"That's right." Doctor Hu also found it quite strange when he heard Shen Aojun say this, but Gu Yunru's body was slightly hot, which was exactly the same as she said.

Rong Zhen came to the backyard and gathered all the servants together. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why the prince did this.

"Has anyone been serving the princess recently?" Rong Zhen felt that someone must have poisoned them, so he asked. Everyone panicked and pushed Qiuyue and Xiaoye forward. The two maids were so scared that they trembled and didn't know what to say.

"It's you!" Rong Zhen raised his thick eyebrows and looked at the two with a scrutinizing gaze. The two were kneeling on the ground. Xiao Ye was the most timid. He didn't even know what was going on, but he was already scared.

"Your Highness, I know nothing..." Xiao Ye's eyes were filled with tears and her gaze was extremely sincere. She looked at Rong Zhen and trembled with tears. Rong Zhen could see that this matter should have nothing to do with her, or they didn't even know what Gu was.

"Prince! The princess is awake." Shen Aojun shouted in surprise. Rong Zhen rushed to the room impatiently and saw Gu Yunru waking up.

"Yunru...how are you?" Rong Zhen got close to her and saw that her little face was slightly red, probably because of the heat.

"Your Highness...what happened? Why did you ask so many people to guard outside the door?" Gu Yunru opened her eyes in surprise and looked at him, her eyes full of confusion.

"Someone has put a curse on you, and I suspect the murderer is hiding among them...so..." Rong Zhen lowered his eyebrows and held her hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in an instant.

"Don't leave me." Rong Zhen looked worried, which made Gu Yunru burst into tears. "I'm not dead yet, what nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Yunru said with a smile. Pointing at his forehead, Rong Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and held her in his arms.

When Shen Aojun saw this scene, she sincerely blessed the two of them and came out of the house with Qingfeng. Qingfeng was going to send her back, but she suddenly stopped and looked at Qingfeng with gentle and graceful eyes.
