"Don't be anxious, Queen Dowager. This is a matter of fighting poison with poison. We have to lure out the Mother Gu King first." After Gu Yunru finished speaking, she took off the silver hairpin on her head. The silver hairpin was smeared with a mysterious venom. It would not cause any harm if it only irritated human skin.

"How dare you! What are you doing?" When the empress dowager saw her pulling out the silver hairpin, she thought she was going to do something bad to the emperor and immediately scolded her.

Rong Zhen quickly asked Nanny Hua and others to help the empress dowager to the side room to rest. It was better not to let her see this scene to avoid having too many nightmares.

"Empress Dowager, just leave it to Miss Ashin. Miss Ashin has traveled all over the world since she was a child and is knowledgeable. She will definitely be able to cure the emperor's strange disease." Aunt Hua supported the Empress Dowager's trembling arm and helped her down with a distressed look on her face.

Gu Yunru was undisturbed as he took the silver needle and began to force out the female Gu King. As expected, the female Gu King was hiding in his veins. It would take some effort to force it out.

Seeing that the day was about to dawn, Gu Yunru had to hurry up and race against time, otherwise the emperor would definitely not survive the night.

Seeing that she was sweating profusely and concentrating, Rong Zhen walked up to her and personally wiped the sweat off her head with a handkerchief. Gu Yunru looked at him flattered and was not distracted.

On the other side, Shu'er saw Shen Aojun standing near the courtyard, and had not yet stepped into the palace gate. She walked up to her curiously and said, "Aunt Aojun, why are you here?"

"Ah, Shu'er, you should go back to the Chu Mansion with your mother today. Your aunt has already prepared the carriage for you. You can go back first." Shen Aojun was taking care of all matters, big and small, but Shu'er had no intention of going back. The sky was already turning pale, and the emperor must have passed away at this moment.

"Aunt, why is there so much sweat on your forehead?"

Shu'er wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief with concern. Shen Aojun's eyes showed a deep look and he avoided her gaze.

"It's okay. Something happened in the Yangxin Palace. You should take the princess back to the Chu Mansion as soon as possible."

"What's the matter?" Shu'er asked immediately. Shen Aojun hesitated, fearing that the matter of the Mother Gu King would scare her. Just listening to the scenes sent by the eunuchs and palace maids, she felt extremely horrified. She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. It would be better not to tell her about this matter.

"Don't worry about it. I don't know how the prince is doing now. I have to wait in the palace. You can take the princess back first. Remember to let her take medicine and go to sleep. Do you understand?" Shen Aojun was afraid that his playful personality would forget important things, so she repeatedly reminded him.

"I understand." Shu'er brought Tingya back to the Chu Mansion, but she felt vaguely uneasy. She had secretly poisoned the emperor with a female poisonous insect yesterday. If he did not receive timely treatment, he would surely die, and it would only be a matter of time before the Great Qi would change its master.

Just when he thought his plan was going well, he didn't expect that on the other side of the palace, Gu Yunru had already forced the mother insect out completely and sealed it in a box. He looked at Rong Zhen behind him with a smug look.

"I have forced the bug out. Can Your Majesty give it to me as a reward?"

"What do you want with such a disgusting bug?"

"Of course we're researching it. Foreigners are good at using Gu, so shouldn't we be prepared?"

Gu Yunru had a proud smile on her face. She had finally lived up to everyone's expectations and forced the insect out. This mother insect could call on many larvae to work for it. In the world of insects, there were naturally class distinctions. A sinister look gradually appeared on Rong Zhen's face. It was not known whether he felt disgusted and afraid of the insect, or because he felt a sense of familiarity when he saw Gu Yunru at this moment.

"It's up to you. When will my brother get better?" Rong Zhen's voice was tight and hoarse. Gu Yunru looked at her nose and her heart, and replied cautiously: "In two more sticks of incense, we have to let him eat some porridge or something, because the stomach acid he vomited has come out."

This was an ordeal that not even an ordinary person could endure. The emperor was in good health as he had managed to hold on until now. However, this time the invasion by the female poisonous insect had seriously damaged his vitality, and he had been unable to personally handle state affairs for a full half month.

"Your Highness, these are life-saving pills. There are three pills in total. Feed one to the emperor every morning when the rooster crows. There are no more." Gu Yunru stretched lazily as if relieved. At the moment, she was already drowsy, but she had finally accomplished a major event that benefited the country and the people, so she naturally felt a little elated.

"You really have some skills." Rong Zhen praised sincerely, but Gu Yunru felt that his words sounded a bit sarcastic.

"Your Highness, you don't think I have anything to do with this Gu, do you? I learned some techniques of raising Gu from my master, so I can use it freely. The fact that the emperor was poisoned by Gu has nothing to do with me."

Gu Yunru came up to him with a look of horror and completely denied the matter.

"When did I ever tell you that you were involved in witchcraft?" Rong Zhen saw her agitated expression, and a few words made her speechless. She quickly raised her head and straightened her back, frowning and saying, "I'm afraid that you, Your Highness, will have wild thoughts. I finally did a good thing, you can't blame me for this."

"Don't worry, you have done a great deed."

Rong Zhen patted her shoulder solemnly, and rushed to the Cining Palace in person to report the matter to the empress dowager. The empress dowager had a headache and had not slept all night because of the emperor's affairs. When she heard that the girl Ashin from the countryside had finally cured the emperor's strange disease, she was overjoyed, clapped her hands and turned around to express her gratitude in person.

"Mother, she has already left the palace. You don't need to go and thank her. If my brother has any problems, I will bring her to the palace as soon as possible." Rong Zhen said coldly. The Queen Mother grabbed his arm excitedly, "That's great, but your brother's body is seriously injured this time. You have to stay in the palace to take care of the affairs of the court for him.

You also know that the emperor has given birth to so many princes, but none of them are capable of anything."

This is one of the empress dowager's concerns. These princes only know how to eat, drink and have fun. When they know that foreign rebellions are rising, they are all cowards who dare not lead troops to fight. They are not even willing to take the opportunity to hone their skills. They are all stupid and cowardly.

"Mother, don't say that. They have been used to a life of luxury since they were young. They have never experienced any storms. Unlike me, I have been sent to the frontier to train since I was young. That's why I have such courage and strategy."
