366 Gu Poison Expert
Xu Qing smiled at Deng Chengxi. If she didn’t have so many missions, she would follow Deng Chengxi out to sightsee. After all, she was really too busy in the past and never had the time to admire the rivers and mountains.

“You’re pretty much a boss now, but you’re still so carefree and relaxed now!” Before Deng Chengxi left, she even scolded Xu Qing indignantly to express her envy and jealousy.

“When you come back, hold a large-scale event and I’ll design a few more sample drafts,” Xu Qing said fawningly.

Deng Chengxi said smugly, “That’s more like it.” She had contributed her stamina, so Xu Qing had to contribute her intelligence. Otherwise, it would a loss for her.

After finally sending Deng Chengxi away, Xu Qing continued to read medical books. At this moment, Ao Jie rushed over, so Xu Qing put down the medical book. She really didn’t have any free time today.

Xu Qing looked at Ao Jie. “Tell me, what’s wrong with your body?”

“I’ve been having headaches very often recently. I lose consciousness occasionally and don’t remember what happened,” Ao Jie said truthfully without hiding anything. Otherwise, if he truly became the two other personalities one day and hurt Qiao Yanhui and Xu Qing, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

Xu Qing frowned slightly. Last time, Ao Jie No. 3 was injured, so it was impossible for him to wake up so quickly. Even if the other personalities were activated, he shouldn’t have a headache. If he had a headache, it probably meant that Lin Shu was controlling the Gu worm. Why was Lin Shu so anxious to summon Ao Jie No. 3? She clearly knew that it wasn’t appropriate to summon Ao Jie No. 3 at this time, but she still kept trying…

“I have a headache again.” Ao Jie suddenly covered his head in pain.

Xu Qing hurriedly took out silver needles and inserted them into a few acupoints on Ao Jie’s head. Then, she grabbed Ao Jie’s wrist and observed his pulse. As expected, the child Gu was active.

Lin Shu was using the mother Gu to control the child Gu.

Xu Qing asked Xun Fen to go to her pharmacy to get some medicine. Then, the silver needles were soaked in the medicine and inserted into Ao Jie’s head. She didn’t know why Lin Shu was so anxious to activate the child Gu, but Xu Qing believed that it definitely wasn’t a good sign. She could only let the child Gu fall into a deep sleep first. This way, the mother Gu wouldn’t be able to control the child Gu.

However, the medicine she had developed this time couldn’t make the child Gu sleep for long, and it couldn’t be used too many times, so Ao Jie’s situation was dangerous during this period of time.

At the same time, Lin Shu, who was in the palace, was furious. What was going on?! Why did she suddenly lose contact with the child Gu?

“Aunt Lin, where is the emperor?” Lin Shu asked in a low voice.

“His Majesty has been in the study the entire time. Someone has been watching him secretly and he has never left,” Aunt Lin said with certainty.

Lin Shu was puzzled. In that case, why couldn’t she contact the child Gu? She was certain that the child Gu was still in Ao Jie’s body, but for some reason, there was suddenly no reaction.

At the Qiao family’s house.

Xu Qing retracted all the silver needles. As she looked at Ao Jie, who had returned to normal, she sighed softly and said, “Although your situation is a little special, it still depends on your own mindset.” Therefore, to save himself, Ao Jie had to control his emotions and face the past.

Ao Jie smiled bitterly. Of course he knew, but he was very afraid. Even though Qiao Yanhui had encouraged him, he was still afraid. That kind of fear wasn’t something others could understand.

The only thing Xu Qing could help Ao Jie with now was psychological counseling. This kind of illness wasn’t easy to cure and required a lot of patience. Fortunately, Ao Jie was in a good state. Next, Ao Jie needed to undergo mental treatment every day while they thought of a way to safely remove the child and mother Gu.

After Ao Jie left, Xu Qing continued to study the child and mother Gu all the way until late at night, before she stretched herself and finally prepared to return to her room to rest.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and Xu Qing’s sleepiness instantly disappeared. She looked around warily and her fingers had already touched the mechanism of the concealed weapon. “Who is it?”

However, there was no sound.

“Xun Fen, Teng Nian!” Xu Qing called out in a low voice.

The surroundings were still silent. It was obvious that something had happened to Xun Fen and Teng Nian! In the next second, a strange fragrance wafted in the air, shocking Xu Qing.

It was Gu poison.

It was a Gu poison that Xun Fen, Teng Nian, and the others couldn’t resist. Xun Fen and Teng Nian had only taken poison detoxification pills, which could only help them defend against poison.

The person who came was a Gu poison expert who was extremely skilled in martial arts. Could it be that Lin Shu wanted to attack her? That shouldn’t be the case. If Lin Shu had such a capable person by her side, that person would have been sent out to kill her long ago. How could she have waited until now? Even if Qiao Yanhui was around, he couldn’t be by her side 24 hours a day.
