When Yun Zhou saw the black thing, he was stunned.

"Mrs. Ye, could this be the Gu you just mentioned?"

"Exactly."

Seeing that the Gu was still moving slowly even after leaving the body, accompanied by a faint and sharp buzzing sound, Ye Qingluo inserted a silver needle into the Gu, completely ending its life.

"This little thing has quite a strong vitality."

After resolving these issues, Ye Qingluo finally felt two pairs of eyes falling on him. Compared to Yun Zhou's shock, Ye Beimo's expression was much calmer.

"Is there any problem?" Ye Qingluo asked.

Yun Zhou reacted and shook his head quickly. He was just amazed that Mrs. Ye's speed in using the silver needle was too fast!

"Is the matter resolved?"

Ye Beimo came to her side and asked softly. Ye Qingluo nodded, and thinking of what Nie Qian said, she looked at him with a very complicated look.

"Let's go out and talk."

Both Ye Yuanshan and Nie Qian need to rest, Ye Qingluo said as he walked out.

It was getting close to evening, and Ye Qingluo was troubled by countless things.

"You step back first."

Seeing Ye Qingluo leave the house and stand there without saying a word, Ye Beimo said to the person next to him.

"Yes." Yun Zhou took the order and left quickly.

"But is there anything you want to ask?"

Ye Beimo walked slowly to Ye Qingluo, still with a faint smile on his face.

Ye Qingluo raised her eyes and met his gaze, "Your Highness, can you tell me how it is possible that your people can appear there when the capital is a thousand miles away from the border, and by such a coincidence..." and rescued the people.

"Do you suspect that what General Ye experienced is related to this king?"

Ye Qingluo did not answer directly, but lowered his eyes and said lightly, "I just want to figure out what happened."

She and Ye Beimo have a good cooperative relationship, but once interests are involved, who can guarantee that nothing else will happen.

Moreover, he must have some ulterior motive in order to be able to cast a curse on both Ye Yuanshan and Nie Qian at the same time and control their words and actions.

"If the king says it's because of you, would you believe it?"

After a brief silence, Ye Beimo suddenly said, Ye Qingluo hesitated for a moment, with confusion in his eyes.

"Your Highness, please make your words clearer."

Saying "because of her" is really a bit pretentious.

Ye Beimo sighed softly, "Before you arrived, I had already noticed that there was something fishy about General Ye's demotion, and I had sent people to investigate secretly, but it was delayed by the illness, and then you showed up."

"Leng Yi came back from the capital this time for matters concerning the border."

"In other words, the reason why you got injured and the poison at that time were also related to this?" Ye Qingluo seemed to have figured something out, and then asked, "During the time when you were not there, you were not in the capital, but went to the border?"

Ye Beimo nodded, agreeing to Ye Qingluo's words.

"Since we are cooperating, you will do your best to treat me, and I will protect the people around you."

Ye Qingluo had a complicated expression, and felt a little ashamed when he thought of his previous doubts.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

"No matter what, I still want to say thank you." Ye Qingluo said gratefully. If it weren't for Ye Beimo's people, even if her father didn't die at the hands of the group of men in black, he would have been tortured to death by the poisonous insects.

Ye Beimo took a step closer to her, "There is no need to thank me between you and the king."

“Compared to the treatment, this is nothing.

Ye Qingluo hummed lightly and did not notice the strangeness in Ye Bei's dark eyes.

"Your Highness, Nie Qian is awake."

Yun Zhou's voice was heard, and Ye Qingluo went into the house upon hearing it.

As soon as Nie Qian opened his eyes, he saw himself tied up with ropes. When he saw Ye Qingluo coming in, he asked in confusion, "Miss, what's wrong with me?"

"Yunzhou, untie the rope."

Ye Qingluo said to Yun Zhou.

After untying the ropes, Ye Qingluo briefly recounted what had happened. Hearing this, Nie Qian opened his eyes wide, his face full of regret.

"It's actually this damned poisonous insect!"

"Miss, did your subordinate do anything to hurt you?"

Nie Qian asked cautiously.

"No."

Nie Qian heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the answer, and his eyes fell on the person on the bed again.

"Miss, since you can cure the poison in my body, then the general's..."

"Your father and yours are a little different. Although you are both controlled by a Gu worm and have strange words and deeds, the Gu in your body is just an ordinary one, while your father's Gu has two types, male and female, plus Ningxiang Powder."

"Although I have cleared the remaining toxicity of Ningxiang Powder, my father's current condition is simply unable to withstand the impact of the Gu."

"Mrs. Ye, since there are two types of Gu, if we can find the mother Gu, will it be easier to induce the Gu?"

"Yes, miss, you must save the general!"

"If we find the mother Gu, we can indeed draw it out without any effort, but the current situation is obviously not the case. Moreover, I suspect that the mother Gu is in the hands of the person who put the Gu."

They were in the open, while the other party was in the dark. It was not easy to track them down. The most important thing was...

"I suspect something went wrong at the border." Ye Qingluo paused for a few seconds and expressed his doubts.

"Are you saying that the person who cast the poison is still at the border?"

Ye Beimo already understood what Ye Qingluo meant, "And the reason why General Ye's condition has worsened is also related to this?"

"You can say that." Ye Qingluo replied, "The other party may have realized that my father was not at the border, so he used the mother Gu as a bait and made a series of probing actions."

"In this case, General Ye and Nie Qian must return to the border as soon as possible." Yun Zhou said.

As he was speaking, a violent cough suddenly came from the bedside.

Ye Yuanshan, who was originally in a coma, opened his eyes at some point, and Nie Qian was overjoyed to see this.

"woke up!"

"The general is awake!"

Nie Qian helped the person on the bed up and asked worriedly, "General, how do you feel now?"

"Nie Qian?" Ye Yuanshan pinched his brows, feeling a headache. He was a little surprised when he saw the person next to him, "Why am I here?"

"And those men in black..."

Ye Yuanshan said this and looked around again. He was a little confused when he saw Ye Beimo and Yun Zhou.

"Your Highness the Regent."

Seeing this, Nie Qian hurriedly explained, "General, thanks to the arrival of His Royal Highness the Regent's men, we were able to deal with those men in black. In your situation, I can only take you away without authorization."

"Nonsense!" Ye Yuanshan scolded, "Do you know the consequences of leaving Beijing without permission?"

No matter how unimportant he is, if the news gets to the palace, Qingluo will definitely be in danger.

Thinking of his daughter whom he hadn't seen for three years, Ye Yuanshan sighed, with deep longing in his eyes.

I don't know how she is...

"Father."

Ye Yuanshan's expression froze. This... this voice was...
