Qu Qingxi glanced at He Liufeng. Since Gu Liangsheng had sent someone to find her, it meant that Gu Liangsheng was unable to handle the current situation in Cangyuan.
Qu Qingxi got up and started to get dressed, and He Liufeng also picked up the clothes next to him and started to put them on.
"It's fine if you're asleep. I'll go check what's going on." Qu Qingxi glanced at He Liufeng as he dressed.
“I’ll go with you to see him. I haven’t gone to see Lan Cangyuan since he woke up. This is a good opportunity to go and see him.” Upon hearing this, He Liufeng did not stop what he was doing. After putting on his own clothes, he helped Qu Qingxi put on a cloak.
She's always been very sensitive to the cold, and since she was already asleep at night, having to get up now must make her feel even colder.
When the two arrived, Gu Liangsheng was pacing anxiously back and forth in Cangyuan's room.
Hearing the door open, Gu Liangsheng immediately turned around and saw Qu Qingxi and He Liufeng walk in together.
Gu Liangsheng didn't even look at He Liufeng before stepping forward. "Your Highness, take a look! Cangyuan's condition is very strange, but I still can't see anything. Could it be that he has been infected with some other Gu worm?"
The pulse showed nothing, but Cang Yuan's body was in great discomfort. It was very likely that he still had Gu worms in his body. Given the strict security of the Nanqing Prince's Mansion, it was impossible for an outsider to sneak in and successfully inoculate someone with Gu. The only possibility was that Cang Yuan had already been inoculated with more than one type of Gu worm.
Therefore, after the first Gu worm was removed, the second Gu worm inside the body also began to appear.
"Let me take a look first." Qu Qingxi did not find a second Gu worm in Cang Yuan's body yesterday, but Gu Liangsheng's suspicion was not without reason.
Qu Qingxi walked to Cangyuan's bedside, and Qingdai immediately brought a stool for Qu Qingxi to sit down.
Qu Qingxi first took Cang Yuan's pulse and found nothing wrong. Then she glanced at Gu Liangsheng and took off Cang Yuan's clothes twice. This time, Gu Liangsheng was very cooperative.
Noticing Qu Qingxi's gaze, Gu Liangsheng quickly stepped forward, stripped Cangyuan of his shirt, and then stood on the other side, finding the best viewing position.
Now, every examination Qu Qingxi gives him is a rare learning opportunity, and he won't miss it.
He Liufeng watched in surprise. He hadn't expected that someone as proud and aloof as Gu Liangsheng could be ordered around by Qu Qingxi. Even when Qu Qingxi asked Gu Liangsheng to do something, Gu Liangsheng would have to consider whether he was willing.
The fact that Gu Liangsheng is willing to follow Qu Qingxi's instructions shows that he genuinely admires Qu Qingxi's medical skills.
Qu Qingxi took out silver needles from her sleeve and began to insert them into Cang Yuan's needles.
Cang Yuan's once rosy face turned pale again, his brows were furrowed, and his face was covered in sweat, making him look extremely uncomfortable.
However, He Liufeng was puzzled when he saw Qu Qingxi take out the silver needles from her sleeve. He had been right next to Qu Qingxi when she was getting dressed, but he hadn't seen her put anything in her sleeve.
When did these silver needles appear in Qu Qingxi's sleeve?
Qu Qingxi did not notice He Liufeng's abnormality and continued to give Cangyuan acupuncture. However, after Qu Qingxi tried several acupoints, Cangyuan's body did not show any abnormality.
Qu Qingxi frowned, withdrew all the silver needles, and then focused her gaze on Cang Yuan's face. "He doesn't have any other Gu worms on his body."
"No? Then why is he like this?" Gu Liangsheng was somewhat incredulous at the result, but he also trusted Qu Qingxi's medical skills and judgment.
If there are no Gu worms, why is Cangyuan exhibiting such an anomaly?
Qu Qingxi did not answer Gu Liangsheng's question. Instead, she frowned and looked at Cangyuan. She then grabbed Cangyuan's right hand and began to take his pulse. This time, Qu Qingxi detected a slight difference in the pulse.
Qu Qingxi then put down her right hand, picked up her left hand, confirmed her suspicions, took out a silver needle, and inserted it into an acupoint on Cang Yuan's head.
This time, Cangyuan finally reacted differently.
The moment the silver needle pierced through, Cang Yuan shuddered. As soon as the second needle went in, Cang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of black blood.
After spitting out black blood, Cang Yuan did not faint. Instead, he frowned, calmed himself down, and then looked up at Qu Qingxi, asking intermittently, "What happened to me just now?"
He Liufeng and Gu Liangsheng also looked at Qu Qingxi in surprise.
"It's nothing serious. It's just that the Dream-Eating Gu from before had some effect on your body, which is why you fell into nightmares again after falling asleep. I just stimulated it with silver needles, and you're fine now." Qu Qingxi lowered her eyebrows, looking somewhat upset.
After removing the Gu worm from Cangyuan this morning, she checked it again, but unexpectedly, there was still a oversight. This Dream-Eating Gu is indeed a very troublesome thing.
Qu Qingxi only just realized that even if the Dream-Eating Gu is removed from the human body in time, it will still have an impact on the person who is infected.
The person who used Gu is truly vicious. If Qu Qingxi hadn't been here today, Cangyuan would probably have remained in this state of agony until he couldn't bear it any longer and died a tragic death.
"So that's how it is." After spitting out black blood, Cang Yuan's spirits improved significantly.
"This Dream-Eating Gu actually has such an effect?" Gu Liangsheng's eyes widened in shock.
Based on Qu Qingxi and Cang Yuan's words in the morning, it can be basically determined that Cang Yuan was poisoned by a Gu the night before last, the Gu poison took effect yesterday noon, and the Gu was cured this morning. In such a short time, the Gu worm had such a great effect on people, which is simply terrifying.
"This is the first time I've heard of this either." Qu Qingxi had no idea that after the Gu worm was removed, something would still be produced inside the body. Qu Qingxi guessed that the Dream-Eating Gu must have secreted something that stimulated Cang Yuan's brain.
That's why this happens—even though there are no Gu worms in the body, the person still reacts as if they do.
"How are you feeling now? Are you still feeling unwell?" Qu Qingxi asked with concern.
"I'm fine now, I feel much better." Cang Yuan's face was still a little pale, but it was much better than before, and he looked to be in good spirits, though he did appear somewhat weak.
"That's good." Qu Qingxi nodded.
He Liufeng took two steps forward and stood beside Qu Qingxi. He looked up at the person on the bed and was slightly taken aback when he saw Cang Yuan's eyes. Cang Yuan's eyes were amber and very beautiful.
This is completely different from how he used to look when he was asleep.
Furthermore, a grown man deliberately acting like this, isn't he ashamed?!
