The conspiracy between the Liu family and Prince An to depose and enthrone the emperor, and their vicious plan to make His Majesty "die of illness".

The secret guards deployed by Lin Ci'an had already discovered everything clearly.

He seemed to be keeping his troops in place, but in fact he had already laid a tight net, waiting for the other party to show their fangs completely so that he could catch them all in one fell swoop.

During the first few days after stopping the medication, Chu Ziyu seemed unaware that the medicine had been discontinued.

His dependence on Lin Ci'an continued to grow, and he even seemed to be more clingy because he no longer took those sedatives.

He would subconsciously fall asleep clutching the corner of Lin Ci'an's clothes, and the first thing he would do when he woke up was look for his figure.

This greatly pleased Lin Ci'an, and the slight guilt caused by the deception was overwhelmed by a huge sense of satisfaction.

(That's all.)

Lin Ci'an was reviewing memorials, but his eyes kept lingering on the quietly curled up figure on the couch.

(Only look at me, only depend on me, only belong to me.)

Another day, Lin Ci'an carefully deployed a monitoring network for the Liu family's power. After ensuring that there were no mistakes, he returned to the warm room with a cold and stern look on his face.

When I opened the door, the room was warm and quiet, with the charcoal fire crackling.

His eyes immediately went to the soft couch by the window - Chu Ziyu was still sleeping soundly, in the same posture as when he left.

(I seem to be sleeping particularly soundly today.)

Lin Ci'an frowned slightly and walked closer with light steps.

Chu Ziyu had become increasingly sleepy in the past few days. At first, he thought it was just normal drowsiness after stopping the tranquilizers. In addition, the complete dependence on him made him feel pity for him, so he didn't think too much about it.

But at this moment, looking at that person's overly peaceful sleeping face, a subtle uneasiness quietly crept into my heart.

He sat down beside the couch, his eyes carefully tracing Chu Ziyu's sleeping face.

His face seemed a little paler than the previous two days, and there was a barely noticeable hint of pale blue under his eyes. Even his soft eyelashes, which were always slightly fluttering, were now drooping quietly, revealing a fragile fatigue.

(wrong……)

Lin Ci'an's heart slowly sank.

He stretched out his hand and lightly brushed away a strand of hair on Chu Ziyu's forehead with his fingertips, and it felt slightly cool to the touch.

As he moved, his fingers rested on Chu Ziyu's wrist that was exposed outside the blanket.

(Boss, why do you want to awaken the entanglement?)

(This thing is no joke if it backfires!)

(If I hadn't been a little sicker and weaker, how could those old foxes from the Liu family have seen an opportunity and dared to take a gamble?)

(They've been jumping around long enough. It's time to clear out.)

He felt the slight stagnation from Lin Ci'an's fingertips and knew that the other party had noticed it.

(Secondly...)

There was a hint of pleasant malice in Chu Ziyu's tone. (I just like to see Xiao An worrying about me and feeling distressed for me.

(Look at how nervous he is now. Isn't that much more interesting than his usual cold, dead expression?)

Lin Ci'an's face turned pale instantly! As a Gu doctor, he knew exactly what this pulse sign meant!

(The insect is backfiring?! How could it happen so quickly?!)

(The activity has increased so much?! Is it because I stopped taking the medicine and lost that little bit of suppression?)

The entanglement of love is like a carbuncle attached to the bone, feeding on the "spirit" of the person who is poisoned.

The sub-parasite lurks near the heart meridian and will continue to erode it.

If the poisonous insect is not drawn out, the person who is infected will die of exhaustion. He may look weak and ill due to a long-term illness, but in fact, the poisonous insect has drained his life force.

The Gu must be removed as soon as possible!

He suppressed the panic in his heart, and carefully explored the pulse with his fingertips, which was disordered but temporarily stable. His brain quickly thought about the steps and items needed to induce the Gu.

(Golden needles need to be roasted with strong liquor...)

(Supplemented with snow lotus and ice silkworm sand to soothe the poisonous insects...)

(The most crucial thing is to use the Hundred-Year Stone Marrow to protect the heart meridian, to prevent the child Gu from violently counterattacking and damaging the root when it leaves the body...)

However, when he counted the things he needed, his brows were furrowed.

There was still stock of Snow Lotus and Ice Silkworm Sand in the warehouse, but the most crucial ingredient, the "Hundred-Year Stone Marrow" that was used to absolutely protect the heart meridian...

I didn't even restock it after it ran out last time! This item is difficult to collect, and the palace's stock is empty. Even if I send someone to look for it immediately, the fastest round trip would take at least three days!

Three days...

Lin Ci'an looked at Chu Ziyu's slightly furrowed brows and pale face while he was sleeping, and weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Without the protection of stone marrow, the risk of forcibly inducing the poison will increase several times.

He couldn't imagine what would happen if Zi Yu's heart meridian was damaged during the process of inducing the poison... Just the thought made his heart shrink.

(No! Can't take any risks!)
