The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

The Fifth Prince couldn't believe it, his pale lips trembling constantly. He had actually been poisoned by a Gu for over twenty years, and there were still terrifying Gu worms constantly circulating in his body!

Doctor Shi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. What kind of unbelievable truth was this? In addition, the diagnosis and treatment results of the Night King and his wife proved his incompetence. Could he still survive?

Master Du quietly hid behind Fu Qian, thinking: The royal family is full of intrigues. A little prince was poisoned and murdered at a young age. The water of this power struggle is too deep and too dark. He should stay away from it!

Yun Mujiu briefly explained the cause of the Fifth Prince's illness and didn't elaborate further. She planned to let Valley Master Du and Imperial Physician Shi know the general situation. As for what to say or remind Ye Chuhe about, she would give him some private advice later.

She returned to the bedside and collected all the needles from the Fifth Prince's legs and back one by one. She then handed them to Fu Qian and asked him to clean and disinfect the needles.

Yun Mujiu shot a look at Du Ziheng, who immediately reacted and handed the fifth prince back a shirt for him to wear.

Yun Mujiu turned around and quietly held Ye Xiaohan's hand. Fortunately, there was no particularly cold feeling, so he felt relieved.

She turned to the Fifth Prince and said, "Fifth Prince, try moving your legs."

The fifth prince tightened his clothes with his hands, held his breath, and stared at his legs with his big black eyes.

His legs were incredibly smooth and had an unnaturally pale complexion.

His cheeks flushed instantly, and Du Ziheng reminded him, "Your Highness, King Crane, after we performed spinal surgery on you, we also performed a minor leg decompression surgery to promote blood circulation in your lower limbs and repair damaged leg nerves. Therefore, there are some things we have to do."

Like cutting your pants short, like shaving your legs...

The fifth prince lowered his eyebrows slightly, "I don't mind, it's fine."

Du Ziheng smiled and stepped aside. Speaking of which, it was he and Doctor Fu who shaved the Fifth Prince's leg hair together. He was really nervous.

Du Ziheng's explanation just now was so coherent that even Doctor Shi on the ground and Doctor Shi in the corner looked up at him and sighed in their hearts that Du Ziheng was worthy of being Yun Mujiu's "eldest disciple". He could actually tell them so much medical knowledge that these old men had never heard of.

Yun Mujiu said softly, "Fifth Prince, please move slightly first."

The fifth prince came back to his senses, nodded, straightened his neck, moved his calves slightly, and then several of his toes were able to lift up or press down.

He instantly broke into a big smile, looking at his legs with curiosity like a child, reaching out to play with his legs, and could also feel the increasingly strong sense of existence of his legs.

He suddenly looked up and around, only to be met with Yun Mujiu's gentle smile and Ye Xiaohan's calm expression. He felt a little embarrassed, thinking he had made a fool of himself.

Yun Mujiu said in a tone of a seasoned doctor, "The Fifth Prince's condition has improved, and we are happy for you." This also meant that any excitement the patient showed after his condition improved was normal, so just feel free to express it boldly.

As the night deepened, a light rain began to fall from the sky again.

Doctor Shi and Valley Master Du had already gone down, while Yun Mujiu and his group stayed with the Fifth Prince.

Yun Mujiu planned to tell the fifth prince the truth about the cause of his illness.

"Aunt Huang, I contracted myelitis because of the cold I caught when I was three. So where did this poisonous insect come from?"

Yun Mujiu first corrected him, "On the surface, it seems you did catch myelitis from a cold, which then led to paralysis of both legs. But in reality, is it possible that the serious illness you suffered when you were three years old wasn't an accident, but rather a man-made one?"

Yun Mujiu had previously subtly reminded the Fifth Prince, so he did not look too surprised when he heard it and quickly accepted it.

"Yes. Chu He will think about it carefully when he gets back."

Yun Mujiu continued, "As for the poison in your body, it was carried in your mother's womb."

The Fifth Prince was shocked and asked, "What kind of poison is this?"

Ye Xiao said coldly, "The main toxin in the White Marrow Gu comes from some poisons in Nantai."

The Fifth Prince frowned in thought as Yun Mujiu's voice rang in his ears again: "The White Marrow Gu is extremely toxic. Normally, it will gradually erode a person's legs, but the patient himself is completely unaware of it. Moreover, outside doctors are unable to diagnose the existence and source of this strange poison."

Over the years, Ye Chuhe's legs were destroyed step by step. When his legs were almost completely damaged by the poisonous insects, other parts of his body started to suffer.

Before long, the person would suddenly die from the long-term wear and tear of the body. Outsiders would not notice anything unusual and would simply think the patient had died of a normal illness.

Du Ziheng was puzzled. "If the poisonous insect had been causing trouble all along, how could the Fifth Prince have lasted so long?"

Yun Mujiu said, "So, most of the time, the poisonous insects are dormant, and during this time, they don't cause much harm to the Fifth Prince's body. Only when they become active and awaken will they begin to madly harm the Fifth Prince's body."

"No wonder every time the Fifth Prince had an attack of illness, it was always so serious. It turns out that these dead bugs were causing trouble and affecting the inflamed spinal cord of the Fifth Prince." Du Ziheng said with understanding.

The Fifth Prince seemed to be lost in thought before continuing, "So, those medicines that the Imperial Aunt prescribed for me before contained something that could inhibit the poisonous insects?"

Yun Mujiu nodded. "Although I want to get rid of the poisonous insects for you immediately, I can't rush it, lest the poisonous insects riot and the consequences become even more unimaginable. In short, I will slowly get rid of them without anyone noticing."

"The Imperial Aunt examined me at the palace banquet and then at the Herbal Hall. Was it during that time that she gradually discovered the abnormalities in my body?"

"You could say that, but the findings back then weren't accurate enough. During the initial diagnosis, the white marrow Gu worms were cunning and dormant, so I couldn't immediately confirm that you actually had them." Yun Mujiu turned to look at Ye Xiaohan, tugging on his black sleeve, and said, "It was only with the help of the prince's investigation that I was able to gradually diagnose the cause of your illness."

This world is different from the modern world in her previous life. There are more mysterious and wonderful things here that are difficult to explain, such as light skills that are not flying, magic pills and herbs, poisonous insects... She was able to find the white marrow poisonous insect in the end only after checking a lot of information and listing them one by one.

The fifth prince nodded heavily and sincerely thanked the Night King and his wife, saying that he would be happy to help them if they needed him in the future.

Yun Mujiu smiled and waved his hand, "No need for such great favors. Fifth Prince, just take care of yourself."

Ye Xiaohan reminded calmly: "Go back and check it out carefully."

The Fifth Prince's expression suddenly changed, and he began to think about who his enemy was...
