After Qu Qingxi finished speaking, she clearly noticed He Liufeng's breathing catch and his heartbeat quicken, so she couldn't help but laugh out loud, "What's wrong? Are you angry?"
"Deliberately teasing me? Your Highness, how dare you!" He Liufeng tightened his grip on Qu Qingxi's waist, causing Qu Qingxi's body to tremble slightly with his movement.
"Alright, enough joking around, let's get down to business." After playing around with He Liufeng for a while, Qu Qingxi sat up straight, but still remained in He Liufeng's lap.
"What important business is it? Are you looking for some handsome men for me?" Even though he knew Qu Qingxi was joking, He Liufeng couldn't help but say sourly.
"Oh, no, that's not it." Qu Qingxi reached out and patted He Liufeng's chest. "I went to see Zhou Wenli today, and he gave me a letter."
Qu Qingxi took out a letter from her sleeve. "Look, this letter is exactly the same style as the one Liu Xing gave us. Zhou Wenli also said that the letter was special. It had white ink-drop patterns on the yellow paper. The patterns were very regular and neatly arranged. I heard that ordinary people can't imitate it."
He Liufeng took the letter and examined it carefully. He understood what was going on. "This kind of paper is indeed difficult to imitate. It is produced in the Zhou Kingdom and is exclusively for the use of the royal family. It is difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with it. Even high-ranking officials are not allowed to use it."
"I see." Qu Qingxi nodded in understanding. It is not allowed to use it, but that does not mean that it is not allowed to touch it. Even if someone has this kind of letter paper, others will not think much of it and will only think that the letter paper has been stolen.
This type of stationery was used exclusively by members of the royal family, so Zhou Wenli's choice of this type of stationery was probably a way of expressing his attitude.
“Zhou Wenli said that I should switch these two letters so that you won’t find out. But should I really give him that letter?” Qu Qingxi looked at He Liufeng with doubt.
"I've already found someone skilled at imitating handwriting, and I've received news of him. Once he arrives here, I'll have him copy the contents of that letter onto this sheet of paper." A few days ago, when Qu Qingxi told He Liufeng that Zhou Wenli was looking for some secret letter, He Liufeng had already sent someone to find someone skilled at imitating handwriting.
"The handwriting is easy to imitate, but what about the seal? Can you have someone make an identical seal?" Qu Qingxi asked, looking up.
“I’m still trying to figure this out. If it were an ordinary seal, there wouldn’t be a problem. I have people who specialize in carving seals. But Zhou Wenli is the fifth prince of Zhou, and his seal has special markings that are difficult to imitate.” He Liufeng shook his head with some distress.
"But don't worry, I'll figure out a solution as soon as possible."
"Then how did that girl Liu Xing manage to imitate him? How did she manage to escape Zhou Wenli's notice?" Qu Qingxi asked in surprise.
The special markings on this seal are so difficult to imitate, so how did Liu Xing manage to deceive them?
"I don't know either. I didn't consider this situation at the time. How about we send someone to bring Liu Xing back?" Time was of the essence, and He Liufeng couldn't think of a better solution at the moment.
"I'm afraid that won't work. Liu Xing was sent very far away at the time, and given her vigilance, she's probably been moved to several different places already. Besides, even if we find her, there won't be enough time."
Qu Qingxi shook her head, rejecting He Liufeng's method. It wasn't that she doubted Liu Xing; if it were her in this situation, she would definitely change her name and identity and move to several different places after the person who sent her away left.
After all, what Liu Xing did was no small matter. If she were found out, she would definitely suffer a fate worse than death.
Just then, Qu Qingxi suddenly thought of a way. Although it was somewhat unethical, it was the only way to deal with someone like Zhou Wenli: to steal.
After all, that's how Xu Xingfeng obtained his personal jade pendant.
If it weren't for the fact that stealing from Zhou Wenli would easily cause trouble, Qu Qingxi would have liked to visit Zhou Wenli's residence. He usually dresses very elegantly and is not low-key at all. He must have brought a lot of good things with him this time.
It's a pity, but Qu Qingxi has no choice but to take action regarding this seal.
"I'll figure out a way to handle this. You just need to find someone to imitate the handwriting," Qu Qingxi said calmly.
"You have a plan?" He Liufeng raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled. "What do you intend to do?"
"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed," Qu Qingxi said mysteriously, a smile playing on her lips.
Seeing that Qu Qingxi said this, He Liufeng did not ask any further questions.
I need to remove the curse from that boy tomorrow, so I won't go today. I'll go there tomorrow to "borrow" Zhou Wenli's seal.
After a good night's sleep, when Qu Qingxi got up, He Liufeng had already left, and even the bed next to her was cold. Qu Qingxi packed her things and went over with Qing Qingdai.
When Qu Qingxi arrived, Gu Liangsheng was already standing there waiting.
Qu Qingxi prepared everything, then looked at Gu Liangsheng and instructed him, "You should know the acupoints on the human body. When I start working, I basically don't talk. You should understand just by looking without me reminding you. If there's anything you don't understand, I'll answer your questions after I've finished removing the Gu."
Gu Liangsheng was eager to learn, and Qu Qingxi wasn't the type to keep her skills to herself. It would be good to teach him, as he might be able to save more people in the future.
Gu Liangsheng nodded seriously, indicating that he understood.
Qu Qingxi walked to the side, opened the window outside, the sun came out, and the ice and snow were melting, but the temperature was even lower, and the cold wind blew in, making Qu Qingxi feel a chill for a moment.
A cold wind blew in from outside, and the person lying unconscious on the bed seemed to stir slightly.
As before, Qu Qingxi asked Gu Liangsheng to take off the boy's shirt. After disinfecting the silver needles, she began to apply the acupuncture. This time, the acupuncture was not as simple as yesterday.
Yesterday, Qu Qingxi only wanted to check what kind of Gu worm it was, which is different from the steps she needs to take to remove the Gu today.
Qu Qingxi first used silver needles to protect her heart meridian, and then inserted two needles into her right arm and two legs.
Then, Qu Qingxi, using her sleeve as a cover, took two small porcelain bottles from her spatial storage and placed them on the boy's left.
As soon as a silver needle was inserted, the boy's abdomen began to move again. With the second needle, the Gu worms inside became noticeably agitated. When the third needle was inserted, the Gu worms began to wriggle violently, which looked quite frightening.
Qu Qingxi showed no sign of abnormality and calmly continued with her actions.
