Hearing the little dumpling's words, Huyan Xiaozhe felt much better. He turned to the imperial physician, who was still stunned, and said:
"Hurry up and give me the deworming medicine."
The imperial physicians nodded repeatedly, quickly wrote down the prescription for the deworming medicine, and then began to boil the medicine at a rapid pace.
The little dumpling held Huyan Xiaozhe's hand and chatted with him.
Seeing the two little ones' friendly and caring manner, Mu Tingzheng also spoke up to Yu Yiman:
"Don't worry, the young master will be alright."
Mu Ting saw the dark circles under Yu Yiman's eyes and knew that she hadn't slept all night.
Looking at Mu Tingzheng, Yu Yiman's eyebrows relaxed, and she nodded gently, saying:
"Thanks."
Mu Tingzheng continued, "After the young master takes his medicine, you should go and rest for a while. I will keep an eye on the young master for you."
A hint of tenderness appeared in Yu Yiman's eyes. "General Mu, only you would care about me."
Mu Tingzheng said nonchalantly:
"I can tell from your tired appearance that you haven't slept all night. You grew up with my wife, so we've known each other since we were little."
The tenderness in Yu Yiman's eyes vanished instantly.
It turns out that his concern for her was only because he missed Princess Yuening.
Yu Yiman thanked him and walked into the bedroom without making a sound.
"What's going on? How come there are worms inside Huyan Xiaozhe's body?"
Yu Yiman was in a bad mood. As soon as she entered the bedroom, she growled at Fu Yun.
Fu Yun shrank his neck and knelt on the ground.
"I...I think...it might be because of the insect poison used on the singer back then."
Yu Yiman: "No! It was the insect poison given to the singer, not to Huyan Xiaozhe."
Yu Yiman narrowed her eyes and questioned, "Did you secretly cast a spell on Huyan Xiaozhe behind my back?"
Fu Yun was so frightened that he shook his head repeatedly and said:
"Impossible! Princess, I am utterly loyal to you. I would never dare to do this without your orders!"
Yu Yiman glanced at her up and down.
Fu Yun was rescued by her father from the sacrificial altar in Yunnan and Tibet. At that time, she was very young and was chosen by the village as a living sacrifice.
After rescuing her, Yu Yiman's father took her back to the mansion and made her Yu Yiman's personal maid, naming her Fuyun.
Fu Yun has always regarded Yu Yiman's family as her saviors, a fact that Yu Yiman is well aware of, especially since the two grew up together and have a deep bond.
Yu Yiman trusted Fu Yun's loyalty.
Yu Yiman: "Get up."
Fu Yun then dared to stand up and told Yu Yiman her inner speculation.
“Princess, perhaps the worms on the young prince were contracted during his mother’s womb, and they should be the worm eggs from the singer’s body.”
Yu Yiman nodded. When mother and child are one, this is indeed a possibility.
She asked, "So over the past five years, the number of insect eggs has increased, and now, it has finally erupted?"
Fu Yun: "Gu worms do indeed require several years to develop."
Yu Yiman looked at the Buddha statue in the bedroom.
Unexpectedly, the worm poison planted in the singer's body back then would implicate Huyan Xiaozhe.
This is probably what karma is all about.
Seeing Yu Yiman deep in thought, Fu Yun asked:
"Princess, what do you plan to do about this?"
Yu Yiman: "That little princess seems capable of handling it, so let her heal Xiaoze."
He's the heir apparent; keeping him around is still useful!
Fu Yun said with some worry, "If she cures the prince, we'll probably owe her a favor!"
"General Mu will definitely take this opportunity to ask you for the Mind-Strengthening Pill, and we won't be able to refuse then!"
Yu Yiman gestured for Fu Yun to continue.
"Princess, the letter Mu Ran sent last time said that General Mu wants the Brain-Boosting Pill to cure Madam Bai."
"Madam Bai was so frightened at the Mu family's house that she lost her mind and, in her madness, revealed things about Princess Yuening's disappearance years ago."
"If she is cured, she will probably reveal what happened back then!"
After learning that Mu Ran had regained her senses and had been brought into the Mu family by the little dumpling, Yu Yiman contacted Fu Yun to get in touch with her.
She also appointed Mu Ran as her informant to keep a close eye on the Mu family's every move.
That day at the Nanfu Restaurant, Yu Yiman was preparing to meet with Mu Ran so that she could convey Madam Bai's situation at the Mu family.
Unfortunately, the little dumpling ruined everything, so Mu Ran had no choice but to send a secret letter to tell them what had happened to Madam Bai at the Mu family.
As Yu Yiman listened, she lit three incense sticks.
She held three incense sticks, respectfully gestured towards the Buddha statue, and then inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner.
Yu Yiman's dark eyes were like a deep well, revealing no emotion.
