Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Chapter 86 Points of Ideological and Civilized Practice

Ye Shangyuan suddenly realized that Mu Feng had kicked Mu Xue out on his first day back at the manor, which was probably related to the Gu worm in his body.

So he asked Leng Quan, "Did Mu Mu say what the characteristics of this Gu worm are?"

Leng Quan suddenly remembered what Mu Xue had said that day, and he replied, "She said some things. She said that the one raising the Gu worms must be a virgin at least thirty years old."

Ye Shangyuan was puzzled and asked, "Thirty-something?"

Leng Quan said with certainty, "That's right. She said that this Gu worm needs to be nurtured with virgin blood for at least twenty years to mature. It's still in larval form now, so the woman who raised this Gu worm must be at least thirty years old."

"Is there someone like that around Mu Feng?" Ye Shangyuan asked, frowning.

“No, the only one who seems suspicious is Zhu Zhiyue, who came to the capital with us. But she looks about the same age as Miss Xue,” Leng Quan said.

“It seems I need to ask Mu Mu some more specific questions,” Ye Shangyuan said.

Then, Ye Shangyuan asked, "How is Mu Mu now?" He tried to get up, but Leng Quan stopped him.

He said, "Sir, you should rest well now. Miss Xue is being taken care of by Mr. Lin and Susu. She has already taken her medicine and is asleep."

Ye Shangyuan said with some self-reproach, "It's all because of me that she fell ill."

Leng Quan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ye Shangyuan. In the end, he couldn't hold back and said, "Mr. Lin has taken Miss Xue's pulse. Miss Xue, like the prince, also has a rare and extremely potent poison."

"What?" Ye Shangyuan stared at Leng Quan in shock.

Leng Quan nodded heavily in confirmation, and continued, "I never noticed before. She's usually so lively, who would have guessed? Mr. Lin greatly admires Miss Xue. He said that Miss Xue has suppressed the poison in her body very well. If it weren't for the fact that she was working so hard to suppress the poison for the Prince..."

Seeing Ye Shangyuan struggling to get up, Leng Quan swallowed his unfinished words and hurriedly stepped forward to support the prince.

"Master, what are you doing? You haven't recovered yet. Miss Xue told you not to get out of bed," Leng Quan said hurriedly.

"Help me over there, I need to see Mu Mu one last time. Just one last time." Ye Shangyuan's tone was urgent.

All he wanted to see at that moment was Mu Xue, just one glance.

Leng Quan couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he helped Ye Shangyuan to the window of Mu Xue's room, where he stopped.

Ye Shangyuan said, "Please ask Mr. Lin to come over again."

Su Su heard the door open, turned around and looked over. Seeing that it was Ye Shangyuan, she quickly stepped forward and bowed.

Ye Shangyuan said softly, "Get up, how is Mu Mu?"

"Miss just took her medicine and has fallen asleep. Her fever has also subsided a bit," SuSu replied.

"Hmm, I'll take a look at her. You go and do your work." After saying that, Ye Shangyuan walked to Mu Xue's bedside in the inner room.

There was a drum stool next to her bed, which Su Su placed there for easier care.

Ye Shangyuan stepped forward and sat on the drum stool.

Mu Xue lay quietly on the bed, her breathing steady. If you didn't see her pale face, you would think she was asleep.

"Mu Mu." Ye Shangyuan called out softly to Mu Xue.

Mu Xue frowned slightly, but showed no intention of opening her eyes.

She is very tired now, and the medicine Lin Jiu prescribed for her includes a relatively strong dose of sleeping pills.

She felt dizzy and not very clear-headed at the moment.

When Ye Shangyuan sat down beside her, she already had a vague feeling, but the drug was too strong and she couldn't open her eyes.

Ye Shangyuan picked up Mu Xue's hand, which was on the quilt, and held it gently, as if afraid of hurting her.

He whispered, "Mu Mu, why have I never heard you mention the poison in your body? I will definitely find an antidote for you."

He thought for a moment and then said, "Mu Mu is so capable, she can definitely detoxify herself. I will definitely help you find all the medicinal herbs."

"Mu Mu, I haven't had a chance to thank you for saving my life yet."

"Mumu, it is said that a life-saving grace should be repaid with a spring of gratitude, and some even say that a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's body."

"Mu Mu, shall I offer myself in return?"

"Mu Mu, ......"

The entire room was filled with Ye Shangyuan's mutterings.

In her dazed state, Mu Xue felt incredibly at ease hearing the repeated calls of "Mu Mu."

Ultimately, she couldn't resist the effects of the medicine and fell into a deep sleep.

Not long after, Leng Quan brought Lin Jiu in.

As soon as Lin Jiu entered the house, she said, "Hey, Yuanyuan, why aren't you resting in your room? What are you doing running around all day?"

"Keep your voice down," Ye Shangyuan hissed impatiently.

When Lin Jiu was scolded, he remembered that there was a patient sleeping on the bed. He made a zipping motion and wisely shut his mouth.

At Ye Shangyuan's signal, the group returned to his room.

Leng Quan helped Ye Shangyuan sit down, and Ye Shangyuan couldn't wait to ask, "Is Mu Mu poisoned with He Poison? Do you know how to cure this poison?"

When the topic came up, Lin Jiu sat down opposite him casually, poured himself a glass of water, and said, "What's wrong? Don't you trust Xiao Mu's medical skills? She's much better than me, so don't worry about it."

Lin Jiu changed the subject and continued, "However, I've only heard my master mention the poison on her body. It's called Flying Flower, and it's a very insidious poison. It's similar to the Injury-Free Poison on you."

At this moment, Leng Quan also said, "Yes, I've heard of these flying flowers too. I remember they appeared once in Dongli Kingdom a few years ago, and I haven't heard of them since."

Lin Jiu nodded in agreement, saying, "You're right. My master happened to be in Dongli Kingdom at that time, and he was fortunate enough to encounter it. However, the medicine was stolen by a mysterious man in black, and its whereabouts remain unknown to this day."

After saying that, he, Leng Quan, and Ye Shangyuan looked at each other, and then Leng Quan and Lin Jiu said in unison, "It wasn't Mu Xue who was used, was it?"

"Could it have been used on Miss Snow?!" Reizumi exclaimed in disbelief.

Upon hearing that it was Dongli Kingdom again, Ye Shangyuan clenched and unclenched his fists several times before coldly saying, "Send someone to Dongli Kingdom to investigate."

Leng Quan responded and immediately went out to take care of the matter.

Lin Jiu leaned closer to Ye Shangyuan and whispered teasingly, "Little Yuanyuan, you wouldn't happen to have taken a liking to this little girl, Xiao Mu, would you!"

Ye Shangyuan glanced at him sideways but didn't say anything.

"Holy crap, are you serious?! You're an old cow eating young grass! You're inhuman! How can you do this to Mu Lao Er?" Lin Jiu couldn't help but raise his voice.

Ye Shangyuan poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and said, "My heart belongs to Mu Mu. What does it have to do with Mu Sheng?"

"Grandpa, you're amazing! People risked their lives to find medicine for you, and you actually wanted to sleep with their sister!" Lin Jiu said exaggeratedly.

Ye Shangyuan said unhappily, "Be more civilized. I want to marry Mu Mu as my wife, Ye Shangyuan."
