If it were just taking off the shirt, there wouldn't be any problem. Gu Liangsheng didn't hesitate for long and quickly unbuttoned the boy's shirt.
As he unbuttoned his clothes, Gu Liangsheng was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that this young man, who looked quite young, would have such a good physique.
Qu Qingxi sat down next to the boy with silver needles in her hand. She first inserted the needle into an acupoint on the boy's right upper arm, but the boy did not react.
Watching Qu Qingxi's speed and precision in administering acupuncture, Gu Liangsheng couldn't help but admire her skill.
With the second needle, Qu Qingxi inserted it into the boy's chest. This time, before Qu Qingxi could withdraw her hand, she noticed something unusual on the boy's stomach.
Qu Qingxi focused her attention and carefully observed the boy's reaction. Seeing that the boy's brows suddenly furrowed, she understood what was going on. So she took out another silver needle and stuck it into the other side of his chest.
This time, the reaction in his abdomen finally became obvious. A worm-like thing was wriggling under his skin. At the same time, the boy's brows furrowed even more, and pain appeared on his face. The more violently the worm moved, the more obvious the pain on the boy's face became.
In just a few breaths, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on the boy's forehead, and at the same time, the veins on the back of his hand, which was placed at his side, bulged.
Upon seeing this, Qu Qingxi quickly removed the two silver needles from her chest, and after a while, removed the silver needles from her arm.
After Qu Qingxi removed the silver needles, the Gu worm disappeared again, as if it had never appeared. The pain on the boy's face also disappeared, and he returned to his previous appearance.
This scene shocked both Gu Liangsheng and Qingdai.
Although they had heard of Gu worms, they had never seen them so close before.
"This is a Gu worm?" Qingdai exclaimed in shock. It was terrifying. A tiny worm crawling around inside her body—the thought alone filled her with dread.
"It's too bizarre," Gu Liangsheng exclaimed, but he also found it quite amazing.
"Can Your Highness tell what kind of Gu worm this is?" Gu Liangsheng was truly surprised that Qu Qingxi could use silver needles to detect the Gu worm inside her body, and he admired Qu Qingxi even more.
Thinking that he was many years older than Qu Qingxi, that his medical skills were inferior to hers, that he didn't know how to use silver needles, and that he didn't even understand Gu worms, Gu Liangsheng was deeply discouraged.
"This kind of Gu worm is called the Dream-Eating Gu. Those who are afflicted by it will fall into a deep sleep, constantly having nightmares, and eventually die in their dreams." Qu Qingxi's expression was somewhat strange.
She never expected that he would be poisoned with such a Gu worm. As far as she knew, only the person next to Zhou Wenli in the capital knew how to use Gu.
Who is this person in front of me? Did he offend Zhou Wenli, or someone close to Zhou Wenli?
"Then do you know how to remove the Gu?" Upon hearing this, Gu Liangsheng couldn't help but get goosebumps. Nightmares are bad enough, but to have someone afflicted with this kind of Gu worm and have to have nightmares forever is simply terrifying. The person who cast this Gu is truly vicious.
"I'm not sure either, I can only give it a try." Qu Qingxi wasn't too sure either. She had seen this kind of Gu worm in a book, but she had never tried to remove it herself.
"Give it a try? That means you still have a way." Gu Liangsheng's eyes lit up. "Then when you remove the curse from him, I'll stand by and help you."
He also learned how to remove the Gu poison. He admired the silver needle technique, but he didn't have the talent for it. However, Gu poison was much easier to learn than silver needles once he learned the method.
Qu Qingxi did not refuse, but her expression was somewhat solemn. This kind of Gu was quite tricky to cure. If you were not careful, the person who was Gu would fall into a coma forever and never wake up again.
"I'll go down and prepare what's needed now. Tomorrow morning, I'll remove the curse from him." Qu Qingxi stood up and couldn't help but glance at the boy's face again. It wasn't just similar; they were practically identical.
Qu Qingxi suddenly had a thought: could it be that this boy was someone he had traveled through time, since he himself had been able to travel through time?
"Okay, is there anything I need to prepare?" Gu Liangsheng's eyes lit up when he saw that Qu Qingxi did not refuse him.
"No need, you can just stand here." After Qu Qingxi finished speaking, she looked at Qingdai and said, "Qingdai, go and check this person's identity."
The fabric of his clothes was quite nice, making him look like a young master from a wealthy family. However, just like that day, his clothes were still rather thin, as if he didn't feel the cold.
"Yes, Your Highness." Qingdai nodded. Judging from the boy's clothes and appearance, he must have been pampered since childhood.
It wasn't that Qingdai looked down on ordinary families, but rather that the boy's skin was exceptionally delicate, something that ordinary families simply couldn't produce. Moreover, the boy was truly handsome, instantly winning people's favor.
After Gu Liangsheng left, Qingdai also left, leaving only Qu Qingxi and the unconscious person on the bed in the room.
Qu Qingxi stared at that face, slightly lost in thought. Could it be him?
What is the identity of this young man?
Qu Qingxi stayed for a while, then turned and left the room. However, she did not notice that the boy on the bed moved his hand beside him.
He Liufeng was also curious after hearing about this, "Why did you think of bringing him back?"
It's just a man who fainted on the roadside. We can just take him to the clinic. At worst, we can tell the clinic staff how much money was spent and ask the Prince of Nanqing's Mansion for help. Why bring him back?
Moreover, He Liufeng had heard that the boy was extremely handsome, and even when he fainted, his exquisite features were still evident. He Liufeng was already feeling uncomfortable because of the age gap between himself and Qu Qingxi, and there was nothing he could do about it.
However, now that such a person has appeared, He Liufeng doesn't think Qu Qingxi will be attracted to him; he just feels a little uncomfortable.
"I felt sorry for him, so I brought him back." Qu Qingxi sat down to the side.
"I heard that the young man is quite good-looking." He Liufeng stared into Qu Qingxi's eyes and spoke casually, but his words carried a hint of ambiguity.
"Yes, he is indeed good-looking, probably a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy." Qu Qingxi did not understand the meaning behind He Liufeng's words, and only thought that he was just curious, so she answered casually.
"Seventeen or eighteen years old?" He Liufeng narrowed his eyes slightly; their ages were still very close.
"Hmm." Qu Qingxi had just found some medicinal herbs to use tomorrow, so she was busy and only responded with a sound when she heard He Liufeng's words.
