Wen Xiuzhu froze, his heart skipped a beat, and his smile seemed to freeze on his face, making him look extremely unnatural.
It took him a while to stiffen and turn his head to look at Shu Xiaohan, his heart filled with thoughts of "Save me, save me, save me..."
He only had a slight urge to leave, but if Shu Xiaohan hadn't pointed it out, he would have given up on that thought in a couple of days!
What worries him is that if the main system determines that the host has developed a rejection of the system, then he will have to leave whether he wants to or not. The system that captures him will lock him in the system confinement room and will not be able to take on missions for at least five years!
Normally, Shu Xiaohan would have seized this opportunity to ridicule Wen Xiuzhu, but Gu Yuzhi's sudden awakening caught her off guard.
She guessed that the two of them hadn't controlled their volume during their argument and had woken the young prince up.
The young prince has probably heard almost everything he should and shouldn't have heard.
She had no choice but to steel herself and step forward to pat Gu Yuzhi's head: "Young Prince, when did you wake up? Did you need to get up in the middle of the night?"
Gu Yuzhi lowered his eyes and shook his head.
Strangely enough, just as Manager Wen said he wouldn't let anyone else reap the rewards of victory, the feeling of constraint on him suddenly disappeared.
After a while, Gu Yuzhi groped his way forward and patted Teacher Shu's hand: "Teacher Shu, Manager Wen, I heard what you said."
He withdrew his hands, hugged his knees, and rested his chin on them: "Actually, your worries are valid, because I don't know if my brother will abandon me."
Every time he wrote to his elder brother, he would write a lot, not only about the development of Xinliang and what new food he had found, but also about many interesting things.
But the Emperor's replies were always exceptionally brief.
Gu Yuzhi used to naively think that although his elder brother's replies were brief, he always sent him a lot of things, which meant that his elder brother still cared about him as his younger brother!
But now that he thought about it more carefully, he realized that the things his elder brother sent him were always the same few items: gold, cloth, jewelry, and the like, no different from what he gave to other ministers.
His elder brother might not have even opened the letters he wrote...
He pouted, looking even more upset.
Xie Changshi and the others were all deceiving themselves. The Emperor didn't like them at all; he just saw them as ordinary ministers, tools for his conquest of the northern desert.
Gu Yuzhi burst into tears, then quickly wiped away his tears and covered his mouth while sobbing.
Shu Xiaohan rushed forward and hugged him tightly, gently patting his back: "Don't cry, don't cry, little prince. You're so cute and so amazing, the emperor will never give up on you!"
"And look, aren't Chief Clerk Xie and the others all here? And there's also Imperial Physician Qin. Imperial Physician Qin said that your eyes will definitely get better, right?"
As soon as Shu Xiaohan finished speaking, Xu Mama from the outer room got up and hurried over with a candle: "Your Highness, are you awake?"
Gu Yuzhi suddenly froze and turned to look in the direction of Granny Xu.
He rubbed his eyes hard, then blinked hard in disbelief. The halo in front of him not only didn't disappear, but instead got closer and closer.
Along with that halo of light, there was also a blurry human figure!
Gu Yuzhi slowly raised his head, staring at the figure in disbelief.
Although it was very blurry, he could still recognize that it was Granny Xu!
Gu Yuzhi couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!" He threw off the covers and jumped up, his eyes full of surprise and his voice brimming with joy: "Granny Xu!"
Xu Mama's hand holding the candle trembled, and she looked at Gu Yuzhi with some confusion.
She woke up when she heard the little prince crying in her sleep, but when she came in, the little prince not only stopped crying, but started jumping and laughing.
Could it be that His Highness has been possessed by some evil spirit?
Granny Xu was terrified. She put down the candle and rushed forward to pick up Gu Yuzhi, anxiously asking, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Gu Yuzhi was so overjoyed that he didn't notice that Xu Mama's face had turned pale with fright. She muttered to herself, "Imperial Physician Qin is a doctor, he shouldn't be catching anything dirty, right?"
Heavens above, how could you be so cruel to the young prince!
He's so young. If you want something evil to possess you, then let it possess me. I'm tough and thick-skinned, I'm not afraid!
Wen Xiuzhu and Shu Xiaohan, the two filthy creatures, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock and helplessness.
Shockingly, they could also see a blurry shadow, but to their dismay, Xu Mama, the young prince was clearly happy, and it had nothing to do with being possessed by any evil spirit!
Gu Yuzhi blinked repeatedly in Xu Mama's arms until he was sure he could really see the blurry shadows. Then he hugged Xu Mama and giggled.
He was so happy!
Xu Mama, whose mind was originally filled with thoughts of the young prince being possessed by something evil, disregarded everything else upon hearing his clear laughter. She grabbed her cloak, wrapped Gu Yuzhi in it, and rushed towards Qin Yuanpan's room with him in her arms.
Whether Judge Qin can drive away the evil spirits is not important; what's important is that she has no other choice now!
The guards outside saw Xu Mama holding the little prince in such a hurry, and thought that something had happened to the little prince's health again. They hurriedly ran after him and kicked open the door to Qin Yuanpan's room.
The guard cried out in anguish, "Judge Qin, please save the young prince!"
When the guard shouted, Judge Qin and Consort Chen practically jumped up from the bed, their faces blank. They looked at each other, then threw off the covers and tried to run away.
Imperial Physician Qin didn't even bother to put on his boots: "What exactly happened to His Highness?"
The guard scratched his head. Oh right, what's wrong with His Highness?
He said in a simple and honest voice, "Granny Xu is carrying the little prince and running this way. She looks so anxious. I saw that Granny Xu was crying!"
"Idiot!" Chen Dianyi rushed over after putting on his boots, angrily shouting, "Since there was an emergency on the young prince's side, why didn't you bring him here?"
The guard opened his mouth, he did want to, but the young prince was clinging to Xu Mama and wouldn't let go, and would occasionally chuckle.
The guard felt a little creeped out!
At this moment, the guards' brainwaves and Granny Xu's were strangely in sync, both believing that the young prince had attracted some evil spirit, which was why he woke up in the middle of the night and occasionally let out strange laughter.
Judge Qin and Consort Chen were too lazy to pay attention to this brainless guard. Just as they were about to rush out, they saw Granny Xu carrying Gu Yuzhi over.
When she saw Imperial Physician Qin coming out, her eyes lit up: "Imperial Physician Qin, please save the young prince!"
Gu Yuzhi turned to look at Judge Qin, and seeing his somewhat blurry features, Gu Yuzhi's smile became even brighter.
Just as he was about to say that he could vaguely see something, he heard Granny Xu cry out in anguish, "Oh no! The young prince has been possessed by something evil!"
