Chapter 110 Gu Insect
The second prince put the pills into the medicine bottle: "I'll take them later. The doctor told me not to eat anything else after taking the medicine I just took to avoid any adverse reactions."
The black-robed doctor and the prime minister exchanged a glance: "Your Highness, this medicine does not conflict with the doctor's prescription; you can use it with confidence."
"Regarding you, I still trust the doctor in my own household more."
The black witch doctor stammered, "Yes, Your Highness, just remember to take it later."
"Grandfather, I'm not feeling well, so I won't keep you for dinner. I need to go and rest."
Seeing his pale face, the Prime Minister didn't linger: "Alright, you should rest. The witch doctor and I will take our leave now."
After the Prime Minister and the witch doctor left, the Second Prince ordered, "Close the door."
"Yes"
The second prince summoned a bodyguard, who opened the medicine bottle and poured out the pills: "Put it on the ground and open it carefully, there might be something inside."
[Oh, so the second son's finally gotten smarter? Now he's starting to doubt the Prime Minister?]
Second Prince: "..."
The guards were confused. Could something given by the Prime Minister possibly be explosive?
But she still put on a face mask and gloves: "Your Highness, please step back a little."
The second prince took a few steps back and covered his nostrils with his wide sleeves.
He wanted to see for himself whether his maternal grandfather was trying to harm him.
The guard used the back of his knife to split the pill open, and the pill shattered into pieces. A very small worm crawled out from inside. The guard was surprised and immediately picked up the worm.
"Your Highness, there really is something inside."
The second prince stepped forward and saw that it was a small, completely black worm that he had never seen before and that was extremely ugly.
Gu Linglong is right. If the Prime Minister really wants to harm him, then it's true that he's out of his mind.
The thought of his head being full of worms made his stomach churn: "Ugh!"
"Ugh~ The Second Prince couldn't stop dry heaving."
"Take it away, kill it."
"No, this worm is different from the one in your head. This is a larva. If the larva dies, the black witch doctor will know you haven't taken your medicine, and might even suspect you've discovered something. What if he just kills you then?"
If it were me, I should find a Gu Master to raise this insect properly, just in case.
The Second Prince found this laughable. How could he, the Second Prince, be afraid of them?
Suddenly, he thought of something and couldn't laugh anymore. He always had a headache whenever something important happened, so he entrusted many things, including the management of assets, to the Prime Minister.
If I just take the money, but Prime Minister Cheng finds out and tries to cut off my supply lines, wouldn't I lose everything?
"Take good care of this insect, and find a Gu master."
"Yes"
The guards obeyed and left.
[The second son has become smarter, but it's a pity. Even with the help of a Gu master, it wasn't easy to get the worms out of his head. Those worms had been inside his head for too long, but fortunately they were only wandering around his meridians.]
Second Prince: "..."
The second prince sat dejectedly on the ground. How could this have happened?
His maternal grandfather, who loved and doted on him the most, wanted to harm him.
[That's true. The Prime Minister won't let the Second Prince die before he gets the throne, but having this worm in his head for too long isn't good either. Even if he's not stupid, he'll suffer a lot and become very irritable over time.]
【Hey……】
The second prince was even more desperate: "..."
The servant, who witnessed the whole thing, couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. He felt sorry for the Second Prince, secretly wiped away his tears, and went over to help him up: "Your Highness, please get up and sit in a chair; the floor is cold."
The second prince was more grief-stricken than heartbroken; what difference did it make where he sat? He was going to die anyway.
No wonder Gu Linglong called him mentally ill; he really is.
"No need, I'll sit here."
Gu Linglong sighed softly. "Sigh, fine. Considering that the second son helped my father, I'll repay him by helping him lure out the Gu worms."
The second prince scrambled to his feet in a flash: "This ground is definitely quite cold."
Boy: "..."
He now trusts Gu Linglong completely, even though he doesn't know how a baby like her can help him, he just believes her.
He walked around the screen, picked up Gu Linglong from the cradle, and smiled inexplicably: "Are you hungry? I'll have someone make you some milk."
[So hungry...]
The second prince gently pinched Gu Linglong's cheek and said to the maid, "Go and prepare milk for Miss."
"Yes"
The second prince carried Gu Linglong to another room, then turned to the servant and ordered, "Clean this place up."
"Yes"
【I'll lure the worms for you after I drink the milk】
The second prince smiled knowingly, "It wasn't for nothing that I spoiled you."
Gu Linglong gulped down her milk, and by the time the Second Prince finished dealing with his business and came over, she was already asleep.
She was still sucking on her finger, sucking it every now and then.
Second Prince: "..." What happened to the promise to lure the Gu worms to him after he finished drinking milk?
The second prince took her hand out, wiped it with a handkerchief, and quietly looked at her for a while.
……
And just like that, a day had passed since Gu Linglong was lost.
Everyone in the Minister's mansion was gloomy and dejected, and Gu Xinyi also searched around outside.
"Sister-in-law, please eat something. You have to take care of yourself no matter what."
Su Xiuran shook her head, looking at the food on the table with no appetite at all. Usually, her daughter would be chattering away if she were here.
They kept saying they wanted to eat this and that, that this was delicious and that was delicious, but now there's not a sound at all.
Gu Yu'an: "Mother, please eat something. My little sister is a lucky star; she'll be alright."
Su Xiuran knew that her daughter was different, but she was still young. Even the most capable child would be afraid of someone that young.
Gu Liyao was also very upset: "I'll go out and look again. What if some bad guys take my little sister away under the cover of darkness?"
Gu Ziming also got up from his seat: "Second Brother, I'll go with you."
"Come back, all of you."
Gu Liyao suddenly stopped in his tracks: "What are you doing, brother?"
"We've sent people out to search, and you're not allowed to go there now."
"Why? Aren't you worried about your little sister?"
"How can I not worry? But the Gu family is in a very special situation right now. What if someone uses my younger sister's situation to ambush them and wipe them all out?"
"That's better than worrying at home," Gu Liyao said somewhat defiantly. His older brother was being too cautious.
Gu Yu'an's considerations were indeed very comprehensive, and besides, his biggest suspicion right now was the Second Prince.
However, he couldn't even get into the Second Prince's residence, so he had to ask Chu Jingyan for help.
If he barges in, things will get really messed up. Why would someone risk it?
Otherwise, not only will we not be able to find my little sister, but we'll also get ourselves into trouble.
Gu Xinyi pursed her lips: "How about we report this to the authorities? Or ask Zhou Zhixing for help?"
Gu Yu'an looked at his aunt gratefully. If his aunt asked, the Iron-Faced Yama would most likely help.
"If I don't receive the message I want by tomorrow morning, I'll go."
Gu Xinyi nodded and said to Su Xiuran, "You see, An'er is a person with her own ideas, so don't worry too much. It'll be easier for you to take care of Linglong when she comes back, right?"
Gu Xinyi served Su Xiuran a bowl of chicken soup: "Sister-in-law, would you like some?"
Su Xiuran forced a smile, scooped up a spoonful of soup, licked it, and then put it down.
