Yun Chuwei's claim that the entire Miao region didn't need to exist was obviously meant to scare people.
The purpose was to allow the Miao king to wholeheartedly treat the infant's poisoning.
After receiving the Miao King's assurance, Yun Chuwei stood up and said, "In that case, Miao King, please come with me to see the two children!"
After saying that, Yun Chuwei took a step and walked out.
Huo Qingjue stepped forward and whispered to Yun Chuwei about the baby's location.
The Miao King quickly stood up, strode forward, and followed on the other side.
Soon, Yun Chuwei arrived at the room where the baby was.
There were two cradles in the room, and inside the cradles were two infants who were not yet a month old.
The Miao king hurried forward to check on the infant's condition.
The two infants were clearly showing signs of premature death, with pale and grayish complexions and lips.
They remained asleep, whether unconscious or simply asleep, it was unclear.
Cold sweat broke out on the Miao King's forehead. He said in a low voice, "Miss Yun, my research on Gu poison is not in-depth. May I have my men take a look at the two young princes?"
When he arrived, he had already invited several of the most renowned Gu doctors in the clan.
Just now, those people were waiting for him outside the hall. Now that he has arrived, they naturally followed him over.
They just didn't come in because they hadn't received orders.
Yun Chuwei nodded slightly.
After receiving permission, the Miao King immediately went out and summoned all the Gu doctors inside.
After the group entered, they first bowed to Yun Chuwei, then approached the infant and began to examine him.
Seeing this, Yun Chuwei walked to a chair and sat down, quietly waiting for the result.
After they finished reading, they discussed it in Miao dialect, which Yun Chuwei couldn't understand.
Finally, the Miao King came before Yun Chuwei, his expression somewhat unpleasant and his attitude slightly hesitant.
Yun Chuwei asked directly, "How is it? Can it be cured?"
The Miao King first shook his head, then quickly nodded.
Yun Chu frowned slightly, her voice turning cold: "I have no patience!"
The Miao King immediately said, "This poison can be cured, but we cannot cure it. However, we can delay its onset. We can guarantee that the young prince will not be in mortal danger for the next three years."
Yun Chuwei's brows relaxed slightly, and she pressed for an answer: "How do you solve it?"
"We need to find the person who cast the Gu poison. That person has the mother Gu. All we need to do is let the mother Gu absorb the Gu poison from the infant's body!" said the Miao King.
Yun Chuwei pondered for a moment, then said, "It was Yun Qianming who planted the Gu poison on their mother. The one who gave Yun Qianming the Gu was a palace maid. That palace maid has already committed suicide out of fear of punishment. All her belongings have been burned. The mother Gu is not dead?"
Yun Chuwei thought, since the Miao King was so confident that finding the mother Gu would cure the disease, perhaps they knew that the mother Gu was still alive!
The Miao King paused slightly, then said decisively, "We are absolutely certain that the mother Gu is not dead. Gu poison has a spirit; if the mother Gu were dead, the poison would have taken effect immediately, and the two young princes could not have survived for so long!"
Yun Chuwei narrowed her eyes slightly.
It seems that there is someone else behind this.
Moreover, that person's goal wasn't necessarily to kill the two children.
Yun Chuwei suddenly asked, "What are the Miao King's plans?"
Upon hearing this, the King of Miao immediately said, "The medicinal herbs that suppress the Gu poison are unique to Miao territory, and it's best to use them immediately after picking. Harvesting, storing, transplanting, or transporting them will all damage their efficacy. Therefore, Miss Yun needs to bring her young grandson to Miao territory as a guest!"
Yun Chuwei had no objection and nodded slightly, waiting for the Miao King to continue.
However, the Miao king remained silent.
Yun Chuwei looked at the Miao King and said coolly, "And then?"
The Miao King gave a bewildered look, and asked somewhat nervously, "Is there anything else?"
Yun Chuwei said casually, "The Gu worms came from your Miao region, right?"
The Miao king was ashamed; this was indeed true.
Yun Chuwei continued softly, "The Miao King will surely find the mastermind behind the poisonous insects, right?"
"Ah, this..." The Miao King wiped the sweat from his forehead, speechless for a moment.
Sure enough, this Miss Yun is not easily fooled!
Yun Chuwei glanced at the King of Miao Jiang and slowly said, "Or perhaps the King of Miao Jiang wishes to speak with His Majesty?"
The Miao king choked.
He knew exactly what kind of person the Tianqi Emperor was.
Those who wanted to talk to him had already gone to the underworld.
Especially when Emperor Tianqi was young, there was no one who hadn't been beaten by him.
In recent years, in order to stabilize the situation in the Great Chu, Emperor Tianqi has become much more lenient.
However, no one dares to forget the fear of being beaten down back then.
"No need for that!" the Miao King said with a smile. "Miss Yun, rest assured, I will do my best to investigate this matter and find the mastermind behind it all."
Yun Chuwei's expression was gentle: "Then I'll have to trouble the King of Miao Jiang."
The Miao king remained silent.
He could see that this young lady handled problems with neither arrogance nor servility, but with her own unique methods.
It seemed to be the first time he had ever felt both pressure and gentleness from someone.
Such a person cannot be fooled or deceived.
Perhaps, the only correct approach is to treat each other with sincerity.
So, the Miao King dismissed everyone else until only Yun Chuwei, Huo Qingjue, and the two infants remained in the room. Then he whispered, "Miss, I actually have a concern."
Yun Chuwei glanced at the Miao King: "Speak your mind if you have any concerns!"
The Miao King said this to confirm that Yun Chuwei did not need to avoid Huo Qingjue.
Having received a definite answer, the Miao King no longer hesitated and spoke directly.
"If that person is still in Miao territory, should Xiao Wang really keep pressing him? If we really push him too far, he might leave Miao territory and we might never be able to find him again!"
Yun Chuwei pondered for a moment before asking, "If you were being relentlessly pressured by Miao Jiang, and you held the life of the young prince as a bargaining chip, what would you do?"
The Miao King was taken aback, and subconsciously replied, "I want to cooperate with you!"
Yun Chuwei curled her lips into a slight smile: "Since you've made your move, show no mercy. I'll wait until he's driven to desperation and comes to me for cooperation!"
The Miao King nodded in agreement, but couldn't help but whisper, "If we're too forceful, causing that person to escape Miao territory, or something else unexpected happens..."
“It’s on me!” Yun Chuwei said confidently.
When the Miao king was overjoyed, he knew that sincerity was the ultimate weapon.
She was right; as long as they were sincere with the young lady, she would protect them.
"Young Miss, rest assured, I will do exactly as you command. Your decree is the direction for our Miao region! We will brave any danger, even mountains of knives and seas of fire!"

Huo Qingjue: ...
