"Okay, I like your attitude, so you should quickly teach me how to use Gu to control people's emotions."
The art of using Gu is a great subject, and the selection of Gu Masters is extremely strict. Not everyone can master Gu. If they can't master it well, they will be attacked by Gu. Shen Aojun is well aware of this, so he let Cui'er try first.
The old man placed three bowls on the table. In each bowl was a worm of different sizes and shapes, crawling around in the bowl, wriggling its fat body. When Cui'er saw this, she almost vomited in front of everyone.
"First, I need to test the Gu Master's physique. Please stretch out your hand, young lady."
When the old man spoke, Cui'er stretched out her hand tremblingly, her arms shaking constantly. Shen Aojun then helped her hold her arms tightly so that they would stop shaking.
"A Gu needs to recognize its master. This Gu costs 10,000 taels of silver. Madam, I think that's not expensive, right?"
Shen Aojun was confused. The transaction started so quickly, but he still didn't know whether the Gu had any effect.
"How can I know that this Gu can really be used to control people's emotions?" Shen Aojun is not a fool, so he naturally wants to test it carefully.
"Since Madam doesn't believe it, then I will do another experiment." The old man hurriedly made a mystery out of it until Shen Aojun was completely convinced that the Gu was indeed useful, and then he asked Cui'er to give him some money.
After sending this person away, Shen Aojun sat aside proudly, looking at Cui'er and said, "Think of a way to put this Gu in the prince's bedroom. Whenever the prince goes back to the bedroom to sleep every day, it will be like this Gu is hidden under his pillow."
She didn't dare to forget a single word of what the old man said, and Cui'er nodded.
Gu Yunru has not been idle these days since she returned to the palace. She took out Xiaobai, Xiaohuang, Xiaolu and others to dry them in the sun. These Gu are considered to be the best among all Gu, and sometimes they also need to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.
"Xiaobai, why don't you eat? You always eat your own kind, this is a bad habit." This Gu, Xiaobai, is the one that Gu Yunru is most proud of. It has a capricious personality and sometimes seems very domineering. Other Gu cannot be kept together with it.
Moreover, its sense of smell is the most sensitive among all the poisonous insects. Once it smells the presence of its own kind, it will eat it up without hesitation.
"You don't eat the insect dinner I specially prepared for you. I think you'll starve to death." Gu Yunru felt like giving up on it and was about to go back to get some water. However, when she turned around, she found that Xiaobai was missing, so she asked the servants to look for him all over the yard.
"Xiaobai! Xiaobai!" Gu Yunru looked around but couldn't find any trace of Xiaobai. Could this guy have run away? "What are you looking for?" Rong Zhen strolled to Ginkgo Garden and saw people walking back and forth in the yard. No one knew what they were looking for. The atmosphere was quite tense.
"I'm looking for my Xiaobai. Have you seen my Xiaobai?" Gu Yunru rubbed his palms and looked at him excitedly. "I didn't see your Xiaobai." Rong Zhen sat at the stone table and drank the tea in the cup calmly.
"Help me find it!" Gu Yunru was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. This Xiaobai was the Gu she was most proud of. It could be used as medicine and could also treat diseases.
It can be said that she has numerous interests at stake. Rong Zhen looked at her panic and couldn't help but smile bitterly. After waiting for a long time without finding the one, everyone gave up.
Some didn't know what Miss Ashin had dropped. After asking carefully, they found out that it was a caterpillar, which was likely to be on the tree. So many servants ran to the tree to see if the little white worm was there.
"Miss Ah Xin, we have searched the entire palace, but we still can't find it..." A row of servants ran to her. Gu Yunru saw that the night was about to get dark. At this time, Xiaobai would obediently return to the box, but after waiting for half an incense stick of time, he still didn't see Xiaobai come back. Could it be that this guy decided to run away from home? Rong Zhen returned to the room to rest and saw that something seemed to be moving under the quilt. He lifted it up and saw that it was a small white worm. Could this be the Xiaobai that Gu Yunru mentioned?
"Xiaobai, what did you do to my Xiaobai?!" As soon as Gu Yunru stepped over the threshold, she saw that he was holding a bug in his hand. She thought Rong Zhen was going to crush the bug to death, so she ran to him in fear.
"What on earth did you do to my Xiaobai? Why is it in your bed?" Rong Zhen faced Gu Yunru's questioning and waved his hands innocently, "You should ask it what's going on."
"You are bullying it because it can't talk. It must be you!" Gu Yunru put Xiaobai on her palm with heartache. Xiaobai's belly was bulging, and it seemed that he had just eaten a lot. But why did he run to Rong Zhen's bed? Gu Yunru was very curious, so she lifted his quilt and pillow.
"No need to look. There's nothing on my bed. But this thing was allowed to sleep on it for a whole day. I have to have everything washed again." Rong Zhen was well-known for his cleanliness. He was so frightened to find a bug sleeping on his bed that he asked the servants to take off all the mattresses and wash them.
"That's not right. Xiaobai usually attacks only when it smells the scent of its own kind. It looks like there are bugs in your bed." Gu Yunru sniffed his bed and didn't smell any other scent. Xiaobai's nose has always been the most sensitive. It must have discovered something.
"I tell you that Xiaobai is a lucky bug." Gu Yunru looked at him with great pride. At this moment, Shen Aojun was anxiously waiting for Cui'er's reply. Seeing her standing at the door hesitantly, he immediately walked up to her and asked, "How is it?"
"The young lady's worm seems to have disappeared, and there has been no change in the prince's body. I heard that when Miss Ashin's little white worm was found, it was on the prince's bed. It is very likely that it was eaten by the little white worm..."

"What!" Shen Aojun almost fainted from anger. She had to encounter such a thing.
"Miss, please calm down."
"How can I calm down? Why...that Ashin always ruins my plans."
"Miss, I also think this girl's background is really strange. She said she came to the capital with her master, but she still hasn't found her master."
Cui'er was analyzing the situation on the side, and Shen Aojun felt that what she said was reasonable and well-founded. The origin of this Miss Ashin was really confusing.
"Do you think she is a spy from a foreign country?" Shen Aojun had a bold guess. She and Miao Xiang actually knew each other, which meant that she knew everything about foreign countries. In addition, she was also good at controlling those Gu...
"I also have this doubt, but..."
