My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Chapter 261 The Sacred Insect is Actually a Witch Insect

He went to the village chief's house and asked if anyone wanted to buy land.

Upon hearing this, the village chief was immediately shocked and said, "You're going to sell your land? How will you live after that?"

Jiang Laoshi knew she couldn't reveal Ji Yunshuang and Xia Biao's true identities, so she made up an excuse: "Didn't my relative's family buy a lot of estates?"

They needed manpower over there, and my relative put in a good word for me with his employer, saying they were willing to hire our whole family to work.

I was thinking of selling the land and going to work for that landlord. The money from selling the land would help pay for Gou Dan's leg treatment.

The village chief had been somewhat envious when he heard that the man had gone to work with his relatives. But when he learned that the man was going to use the money from selling his land to treat his grandson's leg, he sighed inwardly.

I felt he was a pitiful person too.

The couple had so many sons, but they all died. In the end, only Jiang Liu was left, and he even joined the army. It was unknown whether he would come back alive.

Jiang Liu and his wife only have one son, Gou Dan, who unfortunately has a leg injury. If it's not cured, he'll be a cripple for life…

This family is really unlucky.

He said, "Okay, I'll ask around for you and try to say the best things to help you sell your land."

After thanking the village chief, Jiang Laoshi went to the field and harvested all the vegetables that could be harvested. When he saw the newly planted crops, he sighed with reluctance.

Inside the Jiang family's old house, Ji Yunshuang gave Gou Dan a bowl of medicine, and after he fell asleep, she took him to the operating room.

Through continuous theoretical study and practical training, Ji Yunshuang has gained a certain level of confidence in performing surgery.

After all the surgical instruments were prepared, she drank a bowl of water with honey to make sure she was in the best possible condition before starting the surgery on Gou Dan.

While Ji Yunshuang was performing surgery on Gou Dan, Li Zhao also took the medicine she had given him and returned to the Prince's mansion, feeding it to Prince Duan.

"What medicine did you just give the prince? Where did it come from?" Liu Yongfu stared at Prince Duan nervously and asked, "Why hasn't the prince woken up yet?"

Li Zhao, like him, watched Duan Wang's reaction with bated breath.

He hadn't entirely ruled out the possibility that the woman might be deceiving him, and that the medicine she gave him might not be for his headaches, but rather something that would kill the prince...

He hesitated for a long time, holding the medicine, and thought about it for a long time, but in the end he couldn't think of any other way, so he could only try to take a gamble.

At this moment, he was just as nervous as Liu Yongfu.

Fortunately, the prince, who had been unresponsive, finally twitched his eyebrows and slowly opened his eyes.

Both of them were thrilled to see that Prince Duan had woken up.

Liu Yongfu shouted, "Doctor Rui, please take a look at the Prince! How is he now?"

Rui Bingtian hurriedly stepped forward to examine Prince Duan.

After a thorough examination, he said uncertainly, "Your Highness's pulse is normal... It seems... the insects are temporarily paralyzed?"

Prince Duan frowned, his expression displeased, and asked, "What kind of insect?"

Liu Yongfu said, "Your Highness, you don't know this, but when you fainted earlier, Doctor Rui said that you had worms in your brain and were under a spell. He said that only a witch could save you, which worried me to death."

"Absurd!" Prince Duan sat up abruptly and angrily rebuked Rui Bingtian, "How dare you frame a witch! What is your punishment?"

Rui Bingtian replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Your Highness, I was merely stating the facts based on Your Highness's illness; I did not falsely accuse anyone."

Seeing his attitude, Prince Duan was furious and immediately summoned men to expel Rui Bingtian from the palace.

Liu Yongfu hurriedly knelt down and begged, "Your Highness, you mustn't! Doctor Rui has been in the Prince's residence for many years and has always been the one to treat your health. He knows your body best. If you send him away, who will treat you?"

Liu Yongfu's words did not appease Prince Duan's anger; instead, they enraged him even more. He shouted, "Does he think I can't live without him?"

Seeing that the prince was determined to drive Doctor Rui away, Liu Yongfu quickly winked at Li Zhao, signaling him to say a few words. He then recounted how he had found medicine for Prince Duan, and how it was thanks to the medicine that Prince Duan had woken up.

Upon hearing that the medicine Li Zhao had found had cured his headache, Prince Duan looked at him with scrutiny and asked, "Where did you find this medicine?"

Li Zhao lowered his head, seemingly oblivious to the scrutiny and suspicion in his eyes, and replied, "I got it from a doctor in the Valley of Divine Physicians."

Her subordinate had unintentionally saved her life before, so she had agreed to his request at the time. This time, her subordinate asked her to treat the prince's illness, but she said she could not violate the rules of the Divine Physician Valley and could not come to diagnose the prince, but she was willing to listen to his symptoms and prescribe medicine.

So after her subordinate told him about the prince's condition, she gave the subordinate a porcelain bottle of medicine and asked him to take it back for the prince to take.

The founder of the Divine Doctor Valley had an unknown feud with the royal family, so there is an unwritten rule in the Divine Doctor Valley that no disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley may treat the royal family.

Interestingly, Emperor Taizu of Zhou also established a rule that no descendant of the royal family should invite doctors from the Divine Physician Valley to treat their illnesses, nor should they strangle anyone who deliberately made things difficult for the Divine Physician Valley.

No one knows what grudge Zhou Taizu had against the founder of the Divine Doctor Valley.

However, after listening to Li Zhao's explanation, the doubt in Prince Duan's eyes lessened somewhat.

He asked, "What did the doctor from Divine Healer Valley say?"

Li Zhaodao said, "She said the same thing as Doctor Rui, that the prince might be under a spell, and that an insect had entered his brain. She asked me to bring back medicine for the prince to try. If the medicine works, it means that his diagnosis was correct."

If it were just Rui Bingtian saying this, Prince Duan would only think it was absurd. But since the doctor from the Divine Physician Valley also said the same thing, he had to be cautious.

The medical skills of the legendary healer, Doctor Gu, are renowned.

Many doctors, after receiving only a little guidance from the legendary physician Dr. Gu, were able to distinguish themselves in the medical field and become renowned in their region.

The head and judges of the Imperial Medical Academy were all instructed by the legendary physician, Doctor Gu. Even Rui Bingtian had received instruction from Doctor Gu.

Prince Duan pondered for a moment and said, "Then the worm in my brain... is gone now?"

"The doctor said that what she gave could only temporarily put the worm in the prince's head to dormancy. Once the medicine was finished, the worm would awaken. To completely get rid of the worm, we still need to find the person who cast the spell on you."

As Li Zhao spoke, he knelt on the ground again and kowtowed to beg for forgiveness, saying, "Please punish me, Your Highness! At that time, in order to seek medicine for Your Highness's illness, I did not inform Your Highness before giving her the characteristics of the sacred insect and the porcelain bottle in which it lived for identification. After examining it, she said..."

Seeing his hesitation, Prince Duan angrily demanded, "What did you say?"

Li Zhaodao said, "They say that's the witch worm... the worm in the prince's head is... the sacred worm the prince spoke of."
