Xiao Yanchu looked at Su Ruojin and said, "Ajin, take Yanluo to the Imperial Preceptor's residence, and your identity will be exposed."
As long as Gao Hongyuan isn't stupid, seeing Yan Luo will naturally lead him to discover that Ye Zhao is Su Ruojin.
Su Ruojin also thought of this, "If we can't hide it, so be it. There's nothing wrong with being the wife of a merchant from the Great Chu."
Between concealing her identity and saving Yanluo, she naturally chose the latter without hesitation.
Forget about Ye Zhao's identity. Even if it were discovered that she was the Regent's Consort, so what? As long as Yan Luo can be saved, none of that matters.
Hu Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief upon learning that the Imperial Advisor was willing to intervene.
With the suppression of the hair, Yanluo felt a little weak but didn't experience any abdominal pain.
At the Imperial Preceptor's residence, Gao Hongyuan received news that all five companions he had found that day had been rescued, and Ye Zhao had also rescued the father of one of the children.
Gao Hongyuan frowned. Since he started choosing a study companion for Zhuo'er, nothing like this had ever happened before.
"Go and investigate!"
This Ye Zhao really loves to meddle in other people's business; he even has the audacity to save a lowly commoner.
That's fine, though; people with soft hearts are easier to manipulate.
The following day, Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu brought Yanluo to the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
Gao Hongyuan was quite decisive; without saying any nonsense, he started examining Yan Luo directly.
He lifted Yanluo's eyelids to look at her, then gently placed his hand on her abdomen, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Isn't this the Gu worm he brought to Yue Ning?
However, it was only for a moment. Gao Hongyuan concealed the surprise in his eyes and said, "This is a worm gu. But it's very strange. In theory, once a worm gu enters the human body, it will continue to cause damage until the person dies. But the worm in this girl's body has fallen into a deep sleep."
Su Ruojin, of course, wouldn't tell Gao Hongyuan the real reason. "I gave her a lot of medicine. Maybe some kind of medicine worked."
Gao Hongyuan knew Ye Zhao's medical skills. He knew that everything in the world has its counterpart, and that a certain medicine might be able to counteract it, so he didn't have too much doubt.
"Imperial Preceptor, can this curse be cured?" Su Ruojin was even more concerned about this question.
Gao Hongyuan sighed, "It's solvable, but very difficult and will take a long time."
Based on my examination, the Gu worms are mainly concentrated in the girl's abdomen. We need to awaken the Gu worms first, then slowly lure them to her wrist, and finally cut her wrist to let the Gu worms flow out of her body with the blood. Only then can we remove the Gu worms.
Because it is impossible to know exactly how many Gu worms are inside this girl, everything must be done slowly. If one is not careful, the Gu worms will riot and explode and die.
These venomous insects are all highly poisonous; even if just one dies inside the girl's body, she will not survive.
Su Ruojin sensed something was amiss. "If this Gu worm awakens, could it harm her?"
Gao Hongyuan nodded solemnly, "Yes, the Gu worms will bite human flesh to survive when they are hungry. I can only suppress them to make the bites less severe, but this girl will have to suffer a bit."
"Is there no other way?" Su Ruojin didn't want Yan Luo to suffer like this.
"Young...Young Master, I'm fine, I can endure it," Yan Luo said.
She had witnessed the suffering her mistress endured from the poison, and knew that curing it was no easy task.
Gao Hongyuan slowly shook his head. "No."
"Approximately how many days will it take to lure out the Gu worms?"
"At least one month."
One month!
Yan Luo will be bitten by Gu worms for a month!
Su Ruojin frowned. Yan Luo's abdomen was covered in blood from being bitten by the Gu worms, and the pain was unimaginable. Now, she was to be bitten for a whole month.
"If this curse isn't cured, how much time does she have left?"
“Seven days!” Gao Hongyuan replied.
In fact, Yanluo had already spent two days, but the Gu worms were dormant in her body, so those two days didn't count.
