"The prince's injuries haven't healed yet, and he's going on a long journey..."

Su Yuejian frowned slightly, with a worried look on her face.

"Are you worried about me?" Xiao Heng asked.

"Ah?" Su Yue was stunned by his question and was a little flustered for a moment.

"Prince Gong is not as virtuous as the outside world claims. He has a poisonous old monster by his side. He is the leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect and is insidious and vicious. I am afraid that he will take advantage of the opportunity to harm you."

Hearing Su Yuejian tacitly admit that she was worried about him, Xiao Heng's smile deepened and he was in a very good mood.

During the following period of time, working with Xiao Chengchang became less disgusting.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment." After saying that, he stood up and went out.

After a cup of tea, he returned to the house and searched the inner room.

A moment later, Su Yuejian came out with a package and placed it on the table.

"Here are some medicines for injuries and detoxification that I made earlier. Just in case, Your Highness should take them all with you."

Then he took out a purple brocade sachet and handed it to Xiao Heng.

"There are medicinal herbs in it, and the brocade has been soaked. It will change color when it comes into contact with poisonous substances. Your Highness can wear it with you."

"If the evil poison attacks, Your Majesty, please send the secret guards to find me. I will rescue you immediately."

Xiao Heng said softly, "Okay."

He took the sachet and looked at it carefully. On the front of the purple sachet were a few unknown four-petal clover flowers embroidered crookedly, and on the back was a crescent moon.

Su Yue felt a little embarrassed when she saw him staring at the sachet.

This sachet was embroidered by her herself. She had just searched for a long time and found that other brocades had not been soaked in medicine.

Only the satin of the sachet she wore was special.

This was the embroidery that Mrs. Zhong taught her that day. It took her several days to embroider such a nice one.

I should have turned those exquisite sachets Sister Wan gave me into medicine sachets earlier.

"Ahem..." She coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment, "I had an eye disease before and never did needlework, so the embroidery is a bit rough."

She had a flash of inspiration.

"If it's convenient for you, Your Highness, I can have Xuanshuang go back to the Su Mansion right now to get a few more sachets made by Sister Wan. I'll make them into medicine bags tonight and send them to you tomorrow morning."

Su Yuejian reached out to take back the sachet, but Xiao Heng slightly turned sideways, and Su Yuejian's hand was empty.

"It's inconvenient for me, so this is great."

Su Yue saw that he was still holding the sachet tightly, so she didn't know what to say.

"Okay, as long as the prince is happy."

Xiao Heng took out two bottles of medicine from his arms and placed them on the table.

Su Yuejian was puzzled and picked it up and smelled it.

One bottle is for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and the other bottle is for the best wound medicine.

Su Yuejian chuckled, "Your Majesty, the thing I have the most of here is medicine."

Xiao Heng's deep gaze fell on her small red lips, and he responded in a hoarse voice, "Hmm."

He knew it was just another excuse to buy time, to see her a little longer.

Su Yuejian blinked her beautiful eyes.

Hmm. What does Hmm mean?

After a long moment, Xiao Heng looked away, pointed at the medical book on the table, and asked, "Are you researching Gu poison?"

Su Yuejian nodded.

"Yes, but the poison technique here is very strange, and I still only have a partial understanding of it."

Xiao Heng's eyes fell on the golden silkworm on the table and he said in a deep voice,

"That thing is the Gu King."

Su Yuejian followed his gaze, picked up the golden silkworm on the table, and asked doubtfully, "King of Gu?"

"The people from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect have been trying to find out more about the Gu King recently."

Su Yuejian shook the gold and felt curious.

"But this is clearly a dead thing. Shouldn't the Gu King be alive?"

Xiao Heng took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

"Legend has it that a hundred years ago, the last Saint of Nanwan possessed a golden silkworm Gu King, the most powerful Gu insect in Nanwan since ancient times, capable of subjugating all other Gu. After the Saint's death, the Gu King fell into a deep sleep. The Emperor of Nanwan ordered that the Gu King be buried with the Saint as a burial object."

The Gu King who has been sleeping for a hundred years?

Su Yuejian looked at the lively little golden silkworm in her hand in amazement.

This little thing is so powerful?!

Fortunately, the people from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect didn’t take it away, otherwise if it fell into the hands of that old monster Du, who knows what bad things he would do with it!

Su Yuejian thought for a moment and complained, "Those people from Wanbao Pavilion are so bold! They actually dug up Saint Nanwan's tomb. How immoral!"

"Ahem..." Xiao Heng was choked by her train of thought.

There was a trace of panic in his eyes, and he explained evasively,

"I heard that there was a crack in the ground in Nanwan a while ago, destroying many valleys. I think it must be the earthquake that caused the burial objects to flow out."

He didn't dig up anyone else's grave! It must have been an earthquake!

The treasure hunters found it in a cave on the border of Nanwan and brought it back.

If he hadn't learned about the news from the Wan Du Sect, he wouldn't have thought that it would be such a coincidence that he picked up the Gu King.

"Does Your Majesty know how to wake it up?"

Xiao Heng shook his head.

"Rumor has it that everyone in Nanwan has tried every possible method to wake him up, but none have been able to do so. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been buried with her."

Su Yuejian nodded thoughtfully.

Xiao Heng glanced at the medical book and said worriedly,

"The poisonous insect technique is insidious and harmful to your body. You must not..."

Su Yue smiled.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know I won't do anything wrong."

Looking at the girl's charming smile, Xiao Heng also curved his eyebrows.

Su Yuejian was distracted by the handsome smile of the man in front of her. Listening to her heartbeat, she came back to her senses in a panic, "It's getting late, Your Highness, go back and rest early."

Xiao Heng was very pleased with her flustered and shy appearance, and the emotions in his smiling eyes seemed to be overflowing.

Does this mean that she is attracted to me too?

A sweet feeling welled up in Xiao Heng's heart.

Su Yuejian only felt a pressure on her head, and a low and pleasant voice entered her ears.

Xiao Heng gently touched her soft hair.

"Zhao Zhao, wait for me to come back obediently."

For some reason, Su Yuejian felt as if her heartbeat stopped for a moment.

She didn't say a word, and her snow-white ears, half hidden by her long hair, blushed shamefully.

When she came to her senses, there was only the faint scent of pine wood around her.
