Upon hearing Qu Qingxi's words, He Liufeng did not hesitate and immediately changed direction, heading towards the Xu residence. After taking a stroll around the Xu residence, he then headed towards the Crown Prince's residence.
Qu Qingxi thought that He Liufeng would go back after leaving the Crown Prince's residence, but unexpectedly, he took her to the Xu residence again.
Moreover, after entering the Xu residence, they stayed for a long time before leaving and returning home, and all the people chasing after them disappeared.
Throughout the journey, the little boy under He Liufeng's arm remained quiet and well-behaved, without making a fuss.
After returning to the Prince's mansion, the two took the little boy directly to He Liufeng's courtyard.
Looking at the delicate little boy in front of her, Qu Qingxi felt a little amazed. He was probably about four years old, but he was so sensible. Sure enough, children living in complicated families tend to be precocious.
"What's your name?" Qu Qingxi asked, staring at the little boy in front of her.
"My name is Zhou Chenguang. When will you take me to see my mother?" Compared to He Liufeng, who was not very talkative, Zhou Chenguang trusted Qu Qingxi more, so he looked at Qu Qingxi questioningly.
“It’s definitely not possible today. It’s already very late, and we just took you away from there. Zhou Wenli will definitely send people to monitor your mother and catch you as soon as possible,” Qu Qingxi explained. Although Zhou Chenguang was young, he had a mature air about him. She didn’t lie or deceive him, and spoke to Zhou Chenguang as if he were an adult.
While it might be inappropriate to use the word "mature" to describe a four-year-old, children born into royalty do tend to have a more mature mind than children from ordinary families.
"Okay, I understand. Could you help me find a doctor? I'm feeling very unwell." Zhou Chenguang nodded, and even though he knew he wouldn't be able to see his mother for the time being, he wasn't upset.
"Uncomfortable? When did you start feeling uncomfortable?" Qu Qingxi asked, somewhat surprised.
"Zhou Wenli poisoned me and gives me the antidote every three days. Could you please call a doctor for me? I don't want my mother to worry about my health." Zhou Chenguang blinked at Qu Qingxi.
Qu Qingxi glanced at He Liufeng and, seeing that he did not refute her, went outside and asked someone to invite Gu Liangsheng. She did not want to reveal too much about herself in front of outsiders.
As for Cangyuan, it was a complete accident and can be ignored.
Although Gu Liangsheng was already resting, he didn't hesitate much when he heard that it was Qu Qingxi who was looking for him, so he got dressed and came over.
"Where did this little brat come from?" Gu Liangsheng looked at Zhou Chenguang, who was sitting upright in the chair, with surprise.
"He is Xu Yanyan's child, Zhou Chenguang. He has been poisoned. Can you take a look at him?" Qu Qingxi gave a brief introduction.
Xu Yanyan's child? Gu Liangsheng's eyes widened, but he quickly recovered and stepped forward to take Zhou Chenguang's pulse.
After taking Zhou Chenguang's pulse for a while, Gu Liangsheng frowned, then looked at Qu Qingxi and He Liufeng and mouthed the word "Gu worm".
Qu Qingxi and He Liufeng exchanged a glance, completely surprised that Zhou Wenli would actually use a curse on Zhou Chenguang. No wonder, no wonder he wasn't so strict in guarding Zhou Chenguang.
However, Zhou Chenguang is the son of the eldest prince, and Zhou Wenli has such a good relationship with the eldest prince, yet he was still willing to do such a terrible thing to the eldest prince's own son.
Qu Qingxi gave Gu Liangsheng a look, and Gu Liangsheng nodded. Then he squatted down and looked at Zhou Chenguang. "I already have a way to treat the poison in your body. However, you need to recover first, as your body is too weak right now."
"Really?" Zhou Chenguang was still a child, and when he heard that there was a way to cure the poison in his body, his face immediately lit up with joy.
“Of course, everyone calls me a miracle doctor, so the poison in your body is a piece of cake.” Gu Liangsheng nodded with a smile.
"Qingdai, take Zhou Chenguang to rest first, and prepare some food. Since Doctor Gu said so, let's wait until he's recovered a bit before we detoxify him." Qu Qingxi looked at Qingdai.
"Yes, I'll go right away." Qingdai nodded.
After Zhou Chenguang left, the smile on Gu Liangsheng's face slowly disappeared, and then he stared at the two people in front of him with a serious expression, "How come Xu Yanyan's child is here? And how did you find him?"
“Zhou Wenli captured Zhou Chenguang and used him to threaten Xu Yanyan into doing things for him.” He Liufeng glanced at Gu Liangsheng.
"Can you confirm that he has been poisoned by a curse?" Qu Qingxi was more concerned about this. She should have thought of it earlier. Zhou Wenli was not a good person. How could he possibly poison Zhou Chenguang with a simple poison?
"That should be it. His body is somewhat weak, but there's nothing unusual about him, so he's probably been poisoned with Gu worms," Gu Liangsheng replied.
"I understand," Qu Qingxi nodded.
“Since Zhou Chenguang is the son of the eldest prince of Zhou, it’s not appropriate for him to stay here.” Although Gu Liangsheng was not an official in the court, he understood what this meant.
If someone with the bloodline of a Zhou Dynasty prince stays in the Ling Dynasty, wouldn't that give them a reason to attack the Ling Dynasty? Besides, even if this matter is concealed, Zhou Chenguang is old enough to remember things.
This matter cannot be kept secret forever; Zhou Chenguang's presence here is ultimately a hidden danger.
"I know, I'll handle this." He Liufeng's expression was somewhat solemn, clearly knowing what bringing Zhou Chenguang back meant.
"It's good that you know what I'm doing. I was just reminding you." Gu Liangsheng nodded slightly. "Since there's nothing else, I'll leave now. It's late, and I need to sleep."
Gu Liangsheng stretched, waved to the two of them, and then turned and left.
Qu Qingxi only realized at this moment that Zhou Chenguang was not an ordinary child. Just now, she only thought that saving Zhou Chenguang would prevent Xu Yanyan from being threatened by Zhou Wenli, and she had forgotten about his identity.
"What should we do?" Qu Qingxi looked at He Liufeng with a hint of guilt in her eyes. He Liufeng was, after all, a prince, and it seemed that she had brought trouble to him this time.
"It's not a big deal. Besides, Zhou Wenli doesn't know that we took Zhou Chenguang away. You don't need to worry. If we rescue him, we can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble."
"After Zhou Wenli leaves, we'll figure out a way to properly settle Zhou Chenguang."
Seeing the guilt on Qu Qingxi's face, He Liufeng smiled and touched Qu Qingxi's little face.
Meanwhile, the lamp in Zhou Wenli's room stayed on all night, and all the men he sent to chase after the person returned, but none of them brought back any good news.
Those who returned knelt on the ground all night, praying that the last person would bring back good news, but unfortunately, no good news came.
