Although Nian Qiaoyue didn't believe that there were such magical things in the world, she still subconsciously followed his instructions. She opened her mouth and tentatively said two words: "I and..."

She didn't feel any discomfort, but her heart was about to settle down, but then the three words "Nian Su Su" appeared in her mind. Just as they came to her lips, her chest began to hurt violently, and there was a piercing ringing in her ears. She could only see a strong white light with her eyes, and no sound came out of her mouth.

Nian Qiaoyue’s body could no longer support herself, so she squatted down, holding her chest, her facial features twisted into a knot.

Nian Susu looked at her coldly. She had set so many keywords, how could she let go of her name?

Nian Qiaoyue forced herself to clear all thoughts from her mind, and her body functions immediately returned to normal.

She was dumbfounded and looked at Nian Susu as if he was a monster. She felt nauseous and wanted to vomit when she thought about having such a horrible poisonous insect in her body.

He scratched his throat and vomited a few times, but nothing came out except a few mouthfuls of bitter water.

"Don't waste your time. If you want to remove the Gu worm, I either have to summon it myself or I'll cut you open." Nian Susu said the most frightening words with the calmest expression: "And the Gu worm feeds on human blood. The reason you didn't get squeezed into a mummy is all thanks to my medicine. If you don't want to die from being sucked dry of blood, you have to drink the medicine every five days."

Nian Qiaoyue propped herself up with her knees, unable to stand up due to her weak legs. She could only look up and glare at her with resentful eyes, "I didn't expect you to be so vicious! If you wanted to kill me so much, why did you save me?"

Nian Susu spread his hands, "Because you are still useful. If you can't find clues that satisfy me, you won't have any medicine to drink."

Nian Qiaoyue was completely heartbroken. This time, she was really under Nian Susu's firm control. Her only way out was death.

Seeing Nian Qiaoyue’s painful expression, Nian Susu felt so happy.

Qin Junyu was still waiting for her in the east wing. She didn't dare to spend too much time on Nian Qiaoyue and not give her a chance to relax. She asked again, "So what is Qin Zehai's plan? What is he going to do?"

Nian Qiaoyue glanced at her coldly and stood up with difficulty. There was no expression on her face, but her violently heaving chest betrayed her emotions.

"I only know that he secretly met with a man in black in the study. From the accent he spoke, he didn't sound like a person from the Central Plains, but rather someone from the Northern Wei Dynasty." Nian Qiaoyue paused, secretly observing Su Su's reaction. Seeing that she seemed to be thinking about something and not angry, she continued.

"Right now, the Northern Wei man has Qin Zehai hold back the reinforcements. It will only take half a month for them to win the war."

Although Nian Qiaoyue was born in a humble family and led an ordinary life, she had never seen any major storms, let alone a war where people died. So she was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell, which made Qin Zehai realize that someone was eavesdropping.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and pretended to be passing by to get away with it. However, this time Qin Zehai was much more alert, and she tried every possible way to avoid running into Qin Zehai and the man in black again.

Nian Susu was in a heavy mood. Qin Zehai did all kinds of bad things all the time, but this time he actually collaborated with the enemy and committed treason!

Facing a powerful enemy, he only thought about his own interests and ignored the lives of the people of Liuli. If the emperor knew, he would definitely kill him. No wonder Nian Qiaoyue refused to tell him, this handle was enough to threaten Qin Zehai's life.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Nian Qiaoyue felt even more uneasy, "That's all I know."

Nian Susu pulled himself out of his thoughts.

"Got it. Keep an eye on him and report to me if anything happens."

Before she left, she kindly reminded Nian Qiaoyue: "Don't try to reveal our secret in any way, it will know it."

"It will take it ten days to eat your heart, and when you die, your body will slowly be eaten up as well."

Nian Qiaoyue shuddered and stared at Nian Susu's receding back, feeling uneasy.

She looked around, found paper and pen, and prepared to verify whether what Nian Susu said was true.

She dipped the brush into ink and wrote the word "I" on the paper. There was no adverse reaction. After thinking for a while, she picked up the brush and prepared to write the three words "Crown Princess". As soon as the first stroke fell, the feeling of her heart tightening appeared again, accompanied by a ringing in her ears. She panicked and threw away the brush and took a few steps back.

There was only one word "I" on the paper, and a large pool of ink was left, slowly soaking the rice paper.

She completely believed that the insect in her body had the ability to read minds.

-

Nian Susu rushed back to the east wing and found Qin Junyu still asleep. She breathed a sigh of relief.

She closed the door, closed her eyes, and her consciousness entered the small dark room. The system hid in the darkness, watching her quietly. This time she felt that the system's form was more real, and not just a cloud of fog.

"I've made up my mind. I want the universal antidote, and I want all the experience points, silver, and props returned to you." She was surprisingly calm.

[Host, have you made up your mind? ]

[Let me repeat it again. You only have one chance to ask the system for a designated item. After the item is issued, all the experience points and silver earned by the host, including the items in the backpack, will be reset to zero. From then on, the backpack function will be disabled. The host will no longer have the chance to win a prize after completing the task.]

After the cold mechanical sound ended, a pop-up window appeared in front of her.

[Host, please make the final decision. 】

Nian Susu clicked OK, and the pop-up window turned into the backpack interface. The items disappeared one by one, the experience bar regressed, and the silver rapidly decreased until it became 0.

She couldn't help feeling a little sad, after all, she had saved all the money by helping Nian Qiaoyue take the blame.

Nian Susu closed her eyes and closed the interface. A small porcelain bottle glowing with golden light appeared in front of her. She reached out to take it, held it in her palm, and felt relieved.

[This is a universal antidote that can cure all poisons in the world and takes effect in one second.]

"Thanks."

-

Back in the real world, Nian Susu tightly grasped the porcelain bottle in his hand, fearing that it was an illusion.

She fed the antidote to Qin Junyu, and his pale and haggard face instantly became rosy and vibrant.

Nian Susu's mood also improved and a smile appeared on her face. After taking her pulse, she found that the poison was indeed eliminated. She had never been so happy.

But then she thought again, she would no longer have any cheats from now on, and she couldn't help feeling sad.

Qin Junyu was alive, but she felt her body was stiff, so she must be dying.

"Ugh……"

"Your Highness?" She pushed Qin Junyu's shoulder, trying to wake him up, but he didn't wake up. Nian Susu guessed that he hadn't recovered from the aftereffects of the medicine yet.

Her eyelids gradually drooped and she fell asleep on the edge of the bed.

-

After Qin Junyu took the antidote, he slept for a whole day and night without waking up. Nian Susu was panicking, but he still had to send Nian Qiaoyue out of the palace.

Xizhimen.

A carriage drove up to the gate and was stopped by the guards.
