The red worm struggled and rolled around Gu Qing Ruo's body a few times, as if it was in agony. Suddenly, it arched its body and leaped again, landing on Gu Qing Ruo's neck, and then it bit down.
Gu Qingruo felt a sharp pain on the skin of her neck as her soul scattered. She tried her best to lower her head to look, but because of the angle, she couldn't see clearly. She could only feel the disgusting red worm slowly disappearing before her eyes.
On the opposite side, Gu Qingxiao could clearly see that the red worm had slowly drilled into Gu Qingruo's skin. There was no blood, no wounds, until it had completely entered her body. Her snow-white skin was completely undamaged, leaving nothing behind.
Gu Qingxiao did not know what this Gu was, but today, her understanding of insects far exceeded her understanding of them. She even felt that this was not a reared insect, but an inexplicable demon. Seeing this terrifying scene, she trembled and retreated even further, not caring about her own sister. She was glad that she was too far away to let the Gu enter her body.
Gu Qingruo had long since let go of Gu Qingli, and kept patting her own neck. Her tears rolled down as she cried, "Third sister, what did you do? This... What the hell is that bug? "
Gu Qingli was actually very shocked in her heart. Although she had never seen those red worms before, she was now certain that they were a type of Gu, possibly from the same place as the mother Gu in her body. She wasn't afraid. Instead, she grabbed Gu Qingruo and glared at her. "Who gave you this?"
Gu Qingxiao was trembling as she shook her head.
Gu Qingli turned to look at Gu Qingruo, constantly patting her body. Her skin was faintly red, as if something was about to escape through her body, but there was no other movement.
Instead, it was Gu Qingruo who cried out in grief, "Don't..." Stop... I feel so bad. "
Gu Qingli didn't pay any attention to her. Instead, she drew out the dragon Gu and began to circle around Gu Qingruo. The occasional burst of black fog indicated that she was attacking.
Gu Qingruo's skin alternated between white and red, and a strange fluctuation appeared on it. It was as if the red Gu worm was resisting inside her body but didn't dare to show itself. It was obviously much weaker than the Gu Gu Gu Qingli had released.
The two Gu worms formed a formation between Gu Qingruo's body and the rest of her body, causing her to suffer internal and external torment. Her body alternated between cold and hot, causing her pain from swelling and cold.
Gu Qingli's brows knitted as she looked at Gu Qingxiao.
Gu Qingxiao shook her hand, "I don't know, I …" I don't know anything, second sister... "Let me go …"
"Who gave you that Gu worm?" Gu Qing Li's expression was already stern. She had to find out who it was before she could find any information related to the Gu worm in her body.
"I... Princess Helian? " Gu Qingxiao suddenly raised her head as if she had seen her savior.
Gu Qingli looked back and saw Helian Shuang walking towards her with a face full of shock. Helian Yu was beside her.
Even He Yu came to the Prime Minister's residence. This was something Gu Qing Li had never expected.
"Princess Mo." Helian Yu's cold face softened a little when he saw Gu Qing Li.
Gu Qingli calmed down somewhat. "Crown Prince Helian actually came to attend Madame's birthday banquet. What a rare guest."
"I am unfamiliar with this place, so I don't want to go anywhere. Emperor Dongyuan ordered King Mo and Princess Wangfei to entertain me, but today you two have disappeared at the same time. I was bored to death in the inn, so I had no choice but to come out and find my sister."
His expression was cold and arrogant as he mercilessly denied that he had come to congratulate the Prime Minister's wife on his birthday.
Without waiting for Gu Qing Li to come up with a good choice of words, Helian Shuang lost control of her voice and said, "Isn't this Princess Mu? "What's going on?"
Gu Qingxiao was still trembling and had yet to regain her wits. When Gu Qingli saw Helian Lie bend over to flip Gu Qingruo's face, she quickly stepped forward to help her up.
As she spoke, Gu Qingli's fingertips moved secretly. With one hand supporting Gu Qingruo and the other using the other to block the wide sleeves of her robe, she rapidly healed several hidden acupoints. Hearing Gu Qingruo's groan, she slowly woke up.
Gu Qingluo had fainted because of the battle between the two Gu. Her skin was almost torn from the torture, and once Gu Qing Li stopped using the Gu worms, the red Gu within her body had stopped roasting and was self-nourishing. She looked normal.
Helian Peng watched as Gu Qingruo slowly woke up. He cast a suspicious glance around before looking at Gu Qingxiao, "Why is Imperial Concubine Gu panicking like this?"
Gu Qingxiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Her pale face and trembling lips exposed her fear. She couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Gu Qingli indifferently swept a glance at Gu Qingxiao and faintly smiled, "Third sister is naturally frightened because of caring for eldest sister." Elder sister, are you feeling better? "What happened just now scared us."
Under Gu Qingli's intimidating gaze, Gu Qingxiao frantically nodded her head. She didn't dare to retort in the slightest.
Gu Qingli had actually covered up for her. This was already far beyond her expectations, so how could she dare to expose this matter?
Instead, she kept looking at Gu Qingruo, even eagerly walking forward to help support her. She gently said, "Eldest young mistress, you've finally woken up. Is there something wrong?"
Gu Qingruo woke up, feeling a wave of nausea and terror. She wanted to open her mouth to say something, but felt a slight stabbing pain from her body. Suddenly, she couldn't speak. When she raised her eyes to take a look, she was met with two pairs of eyes.
Gu Qingli was cold and menacing, obviously threatening. Gu Qingxiao, on the other hand, was full of pleading and fear.
However, she knew that she had been set up by Gu Qing Li, so she couldn't say anything. If she didn't have to say something unfavorable, who knew if Gu Qing Li would release the black Gu worm again, making her want to live and not be able to beg for death?
She gritted her teeth and slowly nodded.
Gu Qingli slowly withdrew the silver needle in her hand. Gu Qingruo felt her body loosen up and blurted out, "Just now …" Oh, I just felt a bit dizzy a moment ago.
"Hmm?" The doubt in Helian Zhenren's eyes deepened. Although she wasn't very smart, she could see that Gu Qingruo was speaking the truth. Gu Qing Li had clearly seen Gu Qing Ruo fall to the ground, but she had ignored her and pretended to be anxious and concerned when she saw the two of them coming. There must be something fishy going on.
Helian Yu, on the other hand, saved her, saying, "Prime Minister and Madam have been waiting for too long. Since Princess Mu is fine, why don't we hurry up and go?"
"Yeah, yeah." Gu Qingxiao added with a pale face.
Helian Shuang wanted to ask more questions, but Gu Qingruo had already moved at ease. The three sisters walked side by side, no one gave her a chance to ask any more questions.
Although this birthday banquet was not very lively, it was very spectacular. Yu Bi Ling was very flattered by the presence of the Crown Prince and Princess from the Northern Chu, so she was much less concerned about Gu Qingxiao. She did not pay too much attention to her little daughter, who had been absent-minded all this time.
On the other hand, Xiao Yi Xiu was gentle and considerate, showing no favoritism towards his second wife. He was like a loving couple, making Gu Chaoran unable to criticize him.
