That's simply impossible.
“Yes, he’s already locked up. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Qingdai, or you can ask the Prince.” Qu Qingxi nodded matter-of-factly, feeling that this was inappropriate.
"Indeed, that's right. The princess threw a sleeping potion over there, and the man fell to the ground and wouldn't get up. Then we put him in a sack and brought him back." Qingdai nodded, indicating that what the princess said was correct.
"This..." Gu Liangsheng was stunned. Was the person who raised the Gu so weak? Could they just throw some sleeping potion at them and knock them out?
"Then the Gu worms on his body..." Now that the person has been captured, Qu Qingxi will definitely search out all the Gu worms on that person's body. In that case, wouldn't he have a new research subject?
"I had someone prepare a few, and I was planning to have them delivered to you after breakfast this morning. But before I even finished eating, Cangyuan came over, and I got so busy that I forgot again." Qu Qingxi knew what Gu Liangsheng was thinking about, so she prepared a few Gu worms last night.
"Is there only a few?" Gu Liangsheng looked at Qu Qingxi expectantly, clearly somewhat dissatisfied.
"Yes, the rest are too evil to keep. I've already dealt with them." Qu Qingxi nodded. It wasn't that she was stingy, but the remaining Gu worms were too difficult to control and could easily escape from people's sight.
The best approach is to deal with it directly.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Your Highness." Knowing that there were only a few left and that Qu Qingxi had dealt with the rest, Gu Liangsheng wasn't too disappointed. Qu Qingxi had her own considerations, and Gu Liangsheng knew his own abilities. It was already quite good that Qu Qingxi was willing to leave him a few.
"Once the person who raised the Gu poison is caught, there's nothing to worry about," Gu Liangsheng sighed softly.
Zhou Wenli is not scary; what they fear most is this person who raises Gu poison.
Hearing Gu Liangsheng say this, Qu Qingxi simply nodded slightly but did not speak. For some reason, she felt that Zhou Wenli seemed to have a backup plan.
However, with Die Feng captured, most of the risks have been avoided; the rest can be left to He Liufeng.
Just as Gu Liangsheng left with his things, news came from Cangyuan that Cangyuan had woken up.
Qu Qingxi changed her clothes before taking Qingdai to see Cangyuan. She was also very curious as to why Cangyuan had been bewitched again.
When Qu Qingxi arrived, the smell in Cang Yuan's room was completely gone. Not only was the smell gone, but the room was even filled with a faint fragrance.
Upon seeing Qu Qingxi enter, Cang Yuan's eyes lit up, his face filled with unconcealed gratitude and joy. "Your Highness, you saved me again."
"It was just a coincidence." Qu Qingxi smiled gently and sat down on a chair to the side.
Cangzhu stood by Cangyuan's bedside, looking at Qu Qingxi with eyes full of gratitude.
"How are you feeling now? Are you still uncomfortable?" Qu Qingxi asked with concern.
"I'm much better, but I still feel a little tired. I should be fine after a rest." Cang Yuan's eyes were bright and extremely clear, like a clear spring in the mountains, making people want to protect them.
Cang Yuan seemed to know that his eyes were beautiful, so when he spoke to Qu Qingxi, he always stared straight at her.
"By the way, when did you realize something was wrong with you, and then you came to the Prince's Mansion to find me?" Qu Qingxi asked, puzzled.
"Because it was the princess who helped me last time, and I believe the princess can save me." Cang Yuan nodded with a smile.
"What if I can't do anything about it either? You trust me that much?" Qu Qingxi smiled, her eyes unconsciously filled with laughter.
"I don't know either. Anyway, I felt something was wrong and you were the first person I thought of. But don't worry, I already told Cangzhu that if you really couldn't do anything, then so be it. Maybe it was just fate. But luckily, you saved me again," Cangyuan explained with a smile.
"By the way, is this kind of Gu worm different from the Dream-Eating Gu from last time? The solution seems to be different." Although Cang Yuan was unconscious, he could still sense something was different. He knew that he had been moved to many different places, but it seemed that he was still sitting in one place.
Most importantly, when he woke up, he had a very disgusting taste in his mouth, and he had to rinse his mouth with water several times to barely suppress it.
"It can be considered a kind of Dream-Eating Gu, but this Dream-Eating Gu is much more powerful than the last one, so this is the only way to cure it."
Qu Qingxi said, glancing at Cangzhu again, and then said, "Your guard is very sensible. He never refuses to do whatever I ask him to do."
“Cangzhu has been with me since he was a child, and he is only one year older than me. We are both master and servant, and also friends. Before we came here, I told him that once we arrived at the Prince’s Mansion, he should follow your arrangements.” Seeing Qu Qingxi praising Cangzhu, Cangyuan also turned to look at Cangzhu.
Qu Qingxi nodded slightly. It was clear from the fact that Cangzhu shared the same surname as Cangyuan that Cangzhu was someone Cangyuan trusted implicitly.
"Why were you poisoned again this time?" Qu Qingxi looked at Cang Yuan suspiciously. "Was it the same person who poisoned you last time?"
"I don't know either." Cang Yuan shook his head with a wry smile. "I don't know when I offended anyone, or when this Gu was put on me. I just woke up suddenly in the early morning. When I woke up, I found myself exhausted and had a lot of bad dreams. So I guessed that I might have been Gued again. I finally made it to dawn and asked Cang Zhu to come with me to find you."
"So you didn't notice anything unusual at all, and by the time you realized it, you were already infected with the Gu worm?" Qu Qingxi frowned. How could that be? If there was no contact, how could the Gu worm be implanted in the body?
But looking at Cang Yuan's sincere expression, he probably wasn't lying. Could it be that the person infiltrated Cang Yuan's place, cast a spell on him, and then left?
"Hmm, I really didn't notice anything. I stayed in my house all day yesterday and didn't leave." Cang Yuan lowered his head and thought for a while, but still couldn't remember anything.
"Cangzhu, did you notice anything unusual yesterday, or did you see anyone you've never seen before?" Qu Qingxi turned her gaze to Cangzhu beside her.
"No, I stayed in the house all day yesterday and didn't go out or see any strange people." Cangzhu shook his head in confusion.
"Why is this happening?" Qu Qingxi frowned slightly, not knowing what was going on for a moment.
The room fell silent, and Qingdai stood obediently to the side without saying a word.
