In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Seeing this, Xie Chengjin quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, the Princess's Mansion is not far from the Xie Mansion. Let's go and take a look. Maybe things are not as bad as you think."

Su Zhizhi nodded and followed Xie Chengjin to the princess's mansion.

In the princess's mansion, Xu Miao was staying in her own bedroom when she heard the servant come to report that Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin had arrived. She couldn't help but frown, then asked someone to take the two to the front hall, and she packed up and rushed over.

Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi were led by servants to the front hall. However, on the way, Xie Chengjin seemed to have discovered something. He winked at Su Zhizhi, turned around and walked to the side, saying that his stomach was a little uncomfortable. Su Zhizhi continued to go to the front hall to cover for Xie Chengjin.

Xie Chengjin came to the vicinity of the garden and carefully checked the surrounding soil, but found something unusual. There was actually excrement of poisonous insects mixed in the soil. Xie Chengjin was immediately shocked.

After confirming his thoughts, Xie Chengjin took a shortcut back to Su Zhizhi. At this time, Xu Miao had not arrived in the front hall yet.

Taking this opportunity, Xie Chengjin whispered in Su Zhizhi's ear about his recent discovery.

Su Zhizhi's pupils shrank when she heard that. "What did you say? Gu worm?" She looked around and lowered her voice.

"Yes, it's the poisonous insect. If I'm not mistaken, this poisonous insect should have been put on Xu Miao's body. This is why Xu Miao suddenly changed his personality during this period." Xie Chengjin looked very serious and analyzed calmly.

"Then what should we do? We can't just watch Xu Miao being killed by the poisonous insect." Su Zhizhi was extremely anxious, but she didn't dare to speak loudly. She just felt extremely aggrieved.

"Don't worry, there is a solution to this problem. Then we will..." Xie Chengjin whispered in Su Zhizhi's ear and briefly told her his plan.

Su Zhizhi looked at Xie Chengjin suspiciously, "Are you sure we can do this?"

Xie Chengjin nodded at Su Zhizhi and was about to say something when Xu Miao walked in.

Seeing this, Xie Chengjin had no choice but to wink at Su Zhizhi, indicating that Su Zhizhi should act according to the plan.

Su Zhizhi first sent Xu Miao's maid away, and then protected Xie Chengjin and knocked Xu Miao unconscious.

In order not to attract the attention of the maid outside, Xie Chengjin's movements were very gentle but powerful, and with just one move, Xu Miao fainted.

Xie Chengjin took Xu Miao's pulse and soon frowned. "Sure enough, the Gu worm is inside Xu Miao's body."

"What?! Xu Miao shouldn't be such a careless person, how could he be infected by the insect?" The more Su Zhizhi thought about it, the more confused she became.

"Once the poisonous insect is lured out, we should ask Xiaohe, who is beside His Highness, and we will know the answer." Xie Chengjin analyzed calmly.

"What do you need me to do now?" Su Zhizhi asked, forcing herself to calm down.

"I will confirm the location of the poisonous insect in her body later, and then find a way to lure it out." With that, Xie Chengjin began to investigate.

Su Zhizhi on the side saw Xie Chengjin's actions, then looked around, turned around, and began to search in the universal capsule. After searching for a long time, Su Zhizhi finally found a small bottle containing liquid that could attract poisonous insects, as well as a complete set of medical supplies.

What Xie Chengjin said just now was that the poisonous insect had to be peeled out alive, which required breaking the skin to remove the insect.

Xie Chengjin moved very quickly. It didn't take long for him to find the exact location of the insect and lure it to the arm with something. Only then did Su Zhizhi hand the medical supplies to Xie Chengjin.

Xie Chengjin raised his knife and a cut appeared on Xu Miao's arm. The poisonous insect crawled out of Xu Miao's body along with blood.

Sensing that something was not right with the surrounding environment, the insect wanted to turn around and crawl back, but Su Zhizhi was one step faster and directly found a box to put the insect away.

"This is it." The box was transparent. Su Zhizhi held the box to her eyes and looked inside curiously.

While treating the wound, Xie Chengjin said, "This thing is small, but it can cause serious harm. Have you forgotten the time when you were poisoned by the Gu?"

Recalling how she looked at that time, Su Zhizhi shrank back, immediately put the things down, and had a gloomy look on her face.

"Okay, go ask the maid to prepare some hot water and clean up here." Xie Chengjin wiped the sweat from his forehead and told Su Zhizhi.

Su Zhizhi hurriedly called people in. When Xiaohe came in with the things, she saw a pool of blood on the ground, but Xu Miao was still fainted on the side with gauze wrapped around his arm.

Xiao He was immediately horrified, "What did you do to the princess?!"

Su Zhizhi glanced around and instantly understood what Xiaohe had misunderstood. She quickly explained, "Miss Xiaohe, there's no need to be wary of us. Her Royal Highness was infected with a Gu worm, and we had no choice but to knock her unconscious in order to draw it out. Look, this is the Gu worm we took out of the princess's body."

After saying that, Su Zhizhi was still worried that Xiaohe wouldn't believe it, so she showed Xiaohe the box containing the poisonous insect.

Xiao He still looked at Su Zhizhi suspiciously, but after seeing the insect, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Miss Xiaohe, be careful." Su Zhizhi helped Xiaohe to steady herself.

"How is this possible? How could there be such a thing in His Highness's body?" Xiao He was also puzzled.

Seeing this, Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin looked at each other and then began to ask questions.

"Think carefully, Your Highness, have you ever eaten anything strange before?"

Xiao He kept thinking about it, and finally her memory froze on the so-called "Forgetfulness Pill".

"I remember now! A few days ago, a man claiming to be a sorcerer came to the Princess' residence and claimed Your Highness had a heart condition. He then coaxed Your Highness into taking some damn 'forgetfulness pill'! The pill was pitch black, and I immediately sensed something was amiss. But Your Highness was determined to do what he wanted, and I had no chance to stop him."

After hearing what Xiao He said, Su Zhizhi's expression suddenly changed. "It seems that it was the wandering sorcerer who did it. Do you still remember what he looks like?" Su Zhizhi asked hurriedly.

Xiao He hesitated for a moment, as if trying to recall something, but in the end, she just shook her head in vain. "I don't remember. I didn't observe the man closely. I just remember that he seemed young, about twenty years old, and his clothes were very ordinary. I can't remember anything special about him at all."
