The mysterious milk group, hands on hips, is being fought over by five dads who are going crazy over

Xie Yunze frowned deeply and immediately ordered, "Close the doors and windows! Capture that thing alive!"

A group of eunuchs and palace maids immediately sprang into action, some closing doors, others catching insects, but none of them dared to make too much noise, lest they disturb the Sixth Prince.

On the bed, after spitting out the black worm, the sixth prince lay back down softly, still fast asleep.

Perhaps it was because I was too upset, but a single tear welled up in the corner of my eye...

Ah Ning felt a little reluctant, but she still formed the hand seals again, quickly chanted the incantation, and repeated the actions from before.

As she moved, the Sixth Prince's face grew increasingly pale, turning red from his neck down to his entire face.

Then, one after another, insects like those from before began crawling out of his mouth...

Each one is black, and each one has dozens of legs, but they vary in size.

Some are as big as a fist, while others are only as small as a fingernail.

Xie Yunze counted them; including the first one that crawled out, there were fifteen in total...

His face was extremely pale, and he asked the equally shocked Imperial Advisor in a low voice.

"What on earth is going on? Why are so many worms crawling out of Xiao Huai's body?"

Zhou Shengze stared intently at the young prince on the bed with his dark eyes, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed to say that I have never seen such a situation before..."

"However, I have heard my master mention an ancient kingdom in the south that specializes in Gu worms, which can heal and save people, and those who have mastered them can even manipulate people's minds. I wonder if the Sixth Prince has been infected by Gu worms..."

Xie Yunze twirled the large thumb ring on his hand. "If it is the Gu worm you mentioned, is there a cure?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shengze pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head, his eyes filled with regret. "I have only heard my master mention it, but I have never gone into detail about it, and I do not know how to deal with Gu worms."

The sixth prince was exceptionally intelligent and the emperor's most beloved child. If he were to die because of this...

"call--"

"I'm so tired."

Just then, a sigh came from the bedside, the voice soft and sweet, full of childishness.

Ah Ning raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, her lips slightly pale.

Xie Yunze immediately stepped forward, staring intently at the small figure on the bed with its eyes closed, and asked in a hoarse voice, "A-Ning, how is Xiao Huai?"

A Ning blinked: "Brother Xiao Huai has been poisoned by Gu. Those things that crawled out of his body just now were Gu worms. Did you catch them all?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yunze gave a single glance, and the eunuch, trembling with fear, stepped forward carrying a ceramic jar and respectfully said:

"Your Majesty, they're all here, fifteen in total, not one missing..."

Seeing that the eunuch's hands were trembling as he held the jar, Ah Ning said considerately:

"Don't be afraid, these bugs won't bite you. They only do things on command."

"Quickly put the jar on the ground and open it so I can see it."

Seeing the emperor nod, the eunuch quickly and carefully placed the jar on the ground.

The moment the jar slipped from his grasp, he breathed a sigh of relief...

Ah Ning squatted down, casually pulled out a talisman paper that spontaneously combusted, and brought it close to the mouth of the jar to open the lid, using it as a light source.

The moment they sensed the firelight, the fifteen black insects stirred with their dozens of legs, trying to crawl out. But when they reached the rim of the jar, they seemed afraid of the firelight in Aning's hand, hesitating to take a step forward and retreating one by one back to the bottom of the jar...

Aning extinguished the fire, put the lid back on, and then stood up and looked up at Xie Yunze.

"Father, Brother Xiao Huai has been poisoned by a Gu worm. These Gu worms are very poisonous; they will slowly eat away at Brother Xiao Huai's flesh and blood, devour his internal organs, and turn him into an empty shell!"

Xie Yunze clenched his fists behind his back.

"So you mean that if it weren't discovered that he was poisoned by Gu, he would have died completely once the Gu worms emptied his body. And in the eyes of those who don't understand Gu poison techniques, Xiao Huai would have died inexplicably, with no cause to be found, so he could only be attributed to death from illness?"

Xie Yunze narrowed his eyes, exuding an imperial aura. "Excellent tactic! Truly excellent tactic!"

The emperor was furious, and all the eunuchs and palace maids serving in the room panicked and knelt down in unison.

Xie Yunze raised his hand to smooth Xie Yanhuai's furrowed brows and asked in a low voice:

"Ah Ning, now that all these Gu worms have been driven out, will Xiao Huai be alright?"

Ah Ning shook her head decisively, "Not for now, but if you want to get rid of the Gu, just driving the worms out won't work. New Gu worms will appear in Brother Xiao Huai's body in the future."

Xie Yunze pondered for a moment and said, "But at least Xiao Huai is safe for now. How long will it take for the new Gu worms to appear?"

Aning shook her head blankly: "Aning doesn't know."

She quietly watched Xie Yunze's clenched fist, blinked, and felt a little guilty.

In fact, after being poisoned by Gu, the Gu worms will leave eggs in the host's body. So even if all the Gu worms are expelled, as long as the Gu poison is not cured, the eggs will continue to grow into Gu worms in the body...

She didn't say anything because she was worried that her father would be frightened.

However, it takes quite a while for the insect egg to grow into a Gu worm. As long as the Gu poison is neutralized as soon as possible, everything will be fine!

A-Ning stepped forward and tugged at Zhou Shengze's sleeve. "Big Brother Zhou, could you help me find the person who put the curse on Brother Xiao Huai?"

Zhou Shengze said solemnly, "Miss Aning, please feel free to ask if there's anything I can do."

Ah Ning nodded: "That's great."

As she spoke, she beckoned with her little hand and said mysteriously, "Brother Zhou Sheng, squat down, and I'll tell you in secret."

So mysterious that even Xie Yunze couldn't help but shift his gaze from his son and look at them.

Zhou Shengze's expression changed several times after hearing what Aning said, and he finally asked, "Miss Aning, are you sure?"

Ah Ning nodded emphatically: "Confirmed!"

"good!"

Zhou Shengze responded, then stood up with a serious expression and said to Xie Yunze:

"Your Majesty, please come with me to the outside of the palace to wait a moment."

Xie Yunze looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"???" Ah Ning suddenly opened her eyes wide, looking at Zhou Shengze in disbelief!

Her fair and tender face was puffed up, and she looked incredulous.

She clearly said that she wanted to draw the insect eggs out of Xiao Huai's body so that the eggs could find the person who cast the curse!

However, Grandpa Xie was most afraid of wriggling things. In order to avoid Grandpa Xie being frightened to the point of fainting, she did not dare to tell him and asked Zhou Shengze to find a way to lure Grandpa Xie out. Unexpectedly, he was so direct!

Ah Ning bit her lower lip and blinked her big eyes at Zhou Shengze, who was looking very serious.

That look seemed to say: Can't you just make up any excuse?

However, Zhou Shengze did not receive any signal at all.

He pursed his lips, paused for a moment, and then said:

"In order to save the Sixth Prince, you must come with me to wait."
