Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

She looked at Mu Hu and said, "The Mu family is now a mixed bag of people. You must be careful to protect yourself, and if necessary, get out as soon as possible."

Moved, Mu Hu continued, "This morning, Aunt An didn't see Doctor Gu. After returning home, she ordered Granny Wang to send a letter to Yingkelai Inn. Mu Jiaojiao also sent a letter to Prince Jing's son."

"Yes, I've already met with Prince Jing's son. Butler Mu sent him away. It seems Aunt An doesn't know that her daughter is secretly helping Mo Shijie," Mu Xue said with a smile.

“Aunt An has been in frequent contact with the capital lately; it seems that Vice Minister An Ruhai of the Ministry of Revenue is getting impatient,” Mu Hu said.

"Oh? I haven't seen any activity from the Prince Jing's residence lately?" Mu Xue asked.

"I once overheard Aunt An admonishing the Sixth Miss, telling her not to go to see Prince Mo during this period," Mu Hu said.

He continued, "But the Sixth Miss didn't listen to Aunt An and secretly went out to see Prince Mo. When Aunt An found out, she was furious. She gave the Sixth Miss a severe scolding for the first time. And now, the Sixth Miss has been staying in the mansion and hasn't gone out at all. She's been very well-behaved."

Mu Xue stroked her chin and said, "So, it seems that Mo Shijie and An Ruhai don't want to continue their cooperation?"

"This, I wouldn't know," Mu Hu said.

"Ah Hu, just gather information and don't alert the enemy, lest you get yourself into trouble," Mu Xue reminded her.

"I understand, Master, please rest assured," Mu Hu said solemnly.

Thinking of Zhu Zhiyue and Xiaochun that Mu Hu had just mentioned, she suddenly remembered something.

"Ah Hu, you must be careful of Xiao Chun, who's with Zhu Zhiyue," Mu Xue said solemnly.

"But what's wrong with her?" Mu Hu asked hurriedly.

“I smelled the scent of datura on Zhu Zhiyue before, and I thought it was left over from her medicine making. But not long ago, when I passed by them, I found that the scent was even stronger on the maid named Xiaochun. So she must be a master of medicine,” Mu Xue explained.

Mu Hu nodded thoughtfully. He glanced at Mu Feng lying on the bed and asked, "Is the young master poisoned?"

Mu Xue didn't hide anything. She shook her head and said, "What's on his body isn't poison, it's Gu worms."

Mu Hu stared in shock at Mu Feng on the bed. He had only ever heard of Gu worms, but he had never actually seen anyone with them!

"Then, Master, are you going to remove the curse from the eldest young master? Is there any danger?" Mu Hu asked.

Mu Xue felt a warmth in her heart and said, "Don't worry, Ah Hu, I won't remove the Gu worm from him for now. Otherwise, he still won't survive."

Upon hearing this, Mu Hu became anxious and said, "If it can't be cured, will the general cause you trouble?"

Mu Xue smiled and explained, "Once I've stabilized his condition, I'll explain to General Mu."

Mu Hu looked at Mu Xue cautiously and asked, "Master, are you really not going back to the Mu residence?"

Mu Xue tilted her head and asked, "What will happen to Ah Hu if I don't go back?"

“Of course we should follow our master!” Mu Hu said without hesitation.

Then, as if remembering something, he continued, "However, my identity documents are all with the Mu family army. Under what identity should I stay by my master's side?"

Mu Xue realized this was a problem after he reminded her.

She thought for a moment and said, "I'll figure something out. You just need to wait for news."

She mentally considered whether any of the people she knew had this ability.

After much deliberation, the most suitable candidate turned out to be Ye Shangyuan.

"They call each other friends, but Ye Shangyuan doesn't really consider me a friend, does he?" Mu Xue thought to herself.

Thinking of this man made her a little angry; he left in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to say goodbye.

Mu Xue never imagined that Ye Shangyuan had fled overnight because of her rejection.

Just as she was thinking about how to contact Ye Shangyuan, she heard Ren Yuan's loud voice coming from outside the door: "I can tell from the smell of this wine that it will definitely be very potent!"

Changsheng said, "That's right, this is the strongest liquor that the General brought back from the border. One sip and you'll be intoxicated!"

Mu Hu also heard their conversation and looked at Mu Xue.

Mu Xue nodded and said, "You go first, I'll come find you again."

Mu Hu nodded and said, "Okay, if you need anything, just let me know and I'll come find you."

After saying that, he leaped onto the wall and left.

Mu Xue walked back to the bedside, removed the silver needles from Mu Feng's acupoints, gently wiped them clean, and put them away.

She had just received it when Ren Yuan and Chang Sheng pushed the door open and came in.

Ren Yuan subtly observed the inner room, and his eyes flickered slightly when he saw the open window.

He said, "Master Doctor Gu, this wine smells very strong."

"Put it on the side of the wooden bucket; we'll pour it in later," Mu Xue said, nodding to Ren Yuan at the same time.

The desire for immortality resided solely in Mu Feng, so he didn't notice the exchange of glances between Mu Xue and Ren Yuan.

He obediently put down the wine jar and asked, "Master Physician, shall we begin now?"

The silver needles had just been removed, and Mu Feng was still unconscious. Mu Xue wanted Mu Feng to experience what it felt like to be boiled in water, so she insisted on waiting until Mu Feng woke up.

As he spoke, Mu Feng's eyes twitched, as if he could wake up at any moment.

Seeing this, Mu Xue said to Ren Yuan and Chang Sheng, "Chang Sheng, go start the fire. Brother Ren, go open all the wine jars."

While the two of them turned away to attend to their business, she quickly pulled out a silver needle and inserted it into Mu Feng's body, sealing his acupoints.

Mu Feng is currently in a semi-conscious state; his senses are still present, but he cannot open his eyes.

In a daze, Mu Feng felt himself being carried around, and after a while, he felt himself being put into the water.

The water was a little cold at first, and he wanted to frown because he wasn't used to it. However, even though he wanted to do that, his face remained expressionless.

He was a little flustered at first, until he heard Changsheng's voice. He heard Changsheng asking about someone or something.

Changsheng was indeed asking Muxue.

He kept the fire burning, the flames making his face glow red. He wiped the sweat streaming down his forehead and asked, "Master Doctor Gu, is the water temperature right?"

Mu Xue was also drenched in sweat. She was adding various medicinal herbs to the bucket, wiping her sweat from time to time and saying, "It's not enough, add more fire."

Mu Qinghe looked through the window that Ren Yuan had just opened and saw the situation inside the room. He couldn't help but frown and asked Mu An beside him, "How can Feng'er stand such hot weather and such hot water?"

Seeing Mu Qinghe's anxiety, Mu An, who was standing to the side, comforted him, "Master, you're just worried. I just saw the ancient physician give the eldest young master a pill, which should be enough to ensure his safety."

Upon hearing this, Mu Qinghe was taken aback. He hadn't noticed what Mu Xue had fed Mu Feng earlier.

Thinking of the elixir, Mu Qinghe's heart, which had just been hanging in suspense, settled down again.
