After provoking the holy maiden of Miao territory, she was infected with a love curse.

Sang Che has already spoken.

There was no reason for Wuming to hide it.

She told Sang Che everything about interrogating Hua He at Fengming Mountain, without hiding a single word.

"That's all?"

Sang Che did not choose to completely believe what Wuming said.

Anonymous: "Holy Maiden, that's all."

She said she obtained this herb from the Western Regions by chance and sold it to someone nearby. As for how that person sold it to Lü Panshan, she had no idea.

The whole story was very clear, and Sang Che figured that this was probably not something Hua He had made up to deceive people.

However, Sang Che did not let his guard down. With Hua He's intelligence, it wouldn't be difficult for her to deceive everyone.

She has always been shrewd.

Extending his finger, Sang Che looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky. A blue butterfly fluttered down and landed on the tip of his finger.

Wuming was horrified when he saw this.

Although she had heard His Highness say that the Miao people were skilled in using Gu poison, especially Sang Che, the Miao saintess who carried the blood of Chi You.

They are masters of using Gu and poison.

However, seeing is believing.

Seeing Sang Che manipulate butterflies that only exist in springtime, amidst the cold winter and heavy snow, was a source of surprise.

Such abilities cannot be acquired by martial arts practitioners through ten years of practice offstage.

This is a skill that can only be mastered by those of the Chiyou bloodline, believed by generations of Miao people. Its power is so great that it can reverse cause and effect, allowing butterflies to live in perpetual spring.

Are you...surprised?

Sang Che hadn't expected that an ordinary Gu worm could cause Wuming such a stir. However, once Wuming looked away from her butterfly, Sang Che understood why Wuming, the knowledgeable right-hand man of the princess, would act this way.

Anonymous: "There are secret manuals in the palace that record that even if the Miao people know how to use Gu, they cannot go against the will of Heaven, and Cordyceps sinensis cannot become Cordyceps sinensis."

"Your abilities are truly rare."

"I've never seen it before either."

Sang Che sensed a hint of awe in her words and took it as the princess's subordinate flattering her.

Sang Che said casually, "Since you know how powerful I am, how ruthless I am, and how powerful I am."

"Then you'd better keep a close eye on that Hua He guy for the next few days, and don't make any mistakes."

Unexpectedly, Wuming was being bossed around by Sang Che, a Miao man, as if he had heard something incomprehensible.

She practically wore her doubts on her face—or rather, she already did.

"Your Holiness, haven't I already completed my mission?"

Wuming had been planning to finish his business with His Highness and then quickly return to the capital to get away from this troublesome place.

But who would have thought that Sang Che would turn around and order her around, even saying that he wanted her to follow Hua He.

God knows how difficult that woman was; even the professional spy Wuming almost couldn't handle her.

Sang Che has plenty of free time; she doesn't want to look for things to do.

"You don't want to..."

Hearing Wuming's gentle refusal, Sang Che slightly curled his fingertips, and a blue butterfly landed on Wuming's shoulder. It folded its wings, waiting for its master's next command.

"It seems I need to go see Ah Shui and ask her to keep an eye on Hua He for me. But I hope your prince won't be angry with me and will be understanding enough to let me pass."

A threat, a blatant threat!

Everyone knows how much His Highness values ​​that Miao woman, wishing he could pluck the stars and the moon from the sky. If that Miao woman were to run away again, Wuming could already foresee the chaos that would engulf the entire capital.

Prince Rui is about to enter the capital, and Your Highness is currently extremely busy. How could you possibly have the energy to spare time to attend to other matters? You are simply overwhelmed.

The nameless man remained silent and did not respond.

Sang Che didn't seem annoyed or in a hurry.

She waited silently for Wuming to reply to her.

Three, two, one.

As Sang Che expected, Wuming gritted his teeth and agreed: "Fine, I promise you."

"I'll follow her."

...

Completely unaware that Wuming and Sang Che had made a deal, Hua He took advantage of Sang Che falling behind her and grabbed Yin Huaixi's wrist.

"Huaixi, I've told you everything I need to say. That Western Region poison is extremely potent. If an ordinary person were to take it, they would have died long ago. How could they possibly survive?"

"I have indeed studied this poison and can suppress its effects, but that's still a drop in the ocean, Huaixi... I don't understand."

Seeing Yin Huaixi's lost and dejected expression, Hua He felt that Yin Huaixi had undergone a complete transformation.

It's clear that the person who hated Sang Che to death at Fengming Mountain before was Yin Huaixi, and now, disregarding everything and even risking his life to save him, it's still Yin Huaixi.

Hua He couldn't understand what was going on in her head. Had her brain really been eaten away by a love potion?

Love potions are truly harmful!

Earlier, when Hua He arrived, Wu Ming told her in the carriage that her wise and brave prince had already removed the love curse from Yin Huaixi's body. Hua He was skeptical.

Sang Che's Gu worms are unparalleled in Miao territory, and even she cannot undo them. Is the imperial court really that quick?

But then she thought of the princess of the royal family, and Hua He wasn't so sure. Under heaven, all land belongs to the king. Could the princess really have some information that could expel the Gu worms?

It's not impossible for this to happen.

Yin Huaixi: "Hua He, what don't you understand? Don't you understand why I'm so fixated on Sang Che? Didn't I already make it perfectly clear to you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Hua He, who was suspicious, grabbed Yin Huaixi's wrist and took her pulse with a frown.

With a light touch of fingertips to the skin, Hua He froze in place.

"What's wrong?"

"Huahe, is there something wrong with my body?"

Seeing Hua He's panicked behavior, Yin Huaixi guessed why Hua He had suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand.

Hua He was taking her pulse to confirm whether the love potion was still present in her body. Hua He's expression suggested only one possibility: her love potion had truly disappeared.

Vanished without a trace.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"Was it really Her Highness the Eldest Princess who removed the love potion from your body?"

"Yin Huaixi, answer me."

Could there really be a second person in the world whose talent in Gu magic is comparable to Sang Che's?

The thought alone made Hua He excited; her body was almost numb with excitement.

If she could find that person, coupled with her years of research and achievements in Gu techniques, she might actually be able to surpass Sang Che!

When her mother was alive, she read a lot of Han Chinese books to her, and Hua He firmly believed in the saying "Three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang".

Over the years, Hua He has repeatedly studied Gu techniques and medical skills, but she is no match for Sang Che, a "gifted monster." Although she doesn't show it on her face, who can truly remain calm and composed inside?

Hua He couldn't swallow this insult, which is why she chose to stay and guard the Miao village on Fengming Mountain when the imperial army attacked.

The purpose was to investigate what Sang Che was up to.

When Hua He went into the nursery with her hoe, she was surprised to find that the seedlings were all wonderful things she had never seen before.

To cultivate medicinal herbs properly and explore their medicinal properties, Hua He would stay indoors for months at a time.

...

Faced with Hua He's bright eyes, Yin Huaixi didn't know what to say for a moment. Her Gu worms were not cured by the Princess's medicine.

Rather, it was… Sang Che himself.

Yin Huaixi was worried that if she revealed the truth, Hua He would not be able to handle the blow.

"I was the one who removed the Gu worms from Huaixi's body."

Slender fingers rested on Yin Huaixi's shoulder, and Sang Che's eyes were wet, like the sticky streets after a rain.

"Hua He, you've crossed the line."
