The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

However, the person screaming was completely unexpected.

Everyone stared blankly at King Wu, who was kneeling on the ground in agony, clutching his head.

What... what's going on here?

The great shaman was so frightened that he forgot to play his flute.

Shouldn't it be Qi Zhiyu who was infected by the Gu worm?

The great shaman's stunned gaze shifted from the agonizing screams of the King of Wu to the indifferent expression on Qi Zhiyu's face.

What... what's going on?

The flute music stopped, but that did not mean the King of Wu's suffering had ended.

Just as the great shaman said, once the Gu worm is activated, the person parasitized by the Gu worm will suffer excruciating pain, wishing they were dead.

The King of Wu pulled hard on his hair, and the golden crown that bound his hair was ripped off.

The King of Wu seemed oblivious to the strands of hair wrapped around his crown, and simply plucked them off.

Even so, the King of Wu's eyes remained bloodshot as he began to tear at his clothes.

He tore his python robe and jade belt into a mess.

He seemed oblivious, pulling and tugging as if there were knives cutting him from his clothes.

The officials were horrified, terrified by the horror of the Gu worm.

Just then, they heard Emperor Kangwu let out a soft snort: "A spy?"

These two slow, deliberate words, like the calm before a storm, weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

The civil and military officials were so frightened that they trembled and dared not utter a word.

Are the King of Wu and the Fourth Prince... spies from the Siyun tribe?

Is there anything more absurd than this?

Even if the King of Wu were extremely corrupt, he would never become a spy for a mere tribe!

"The imperial physician," Emperor Kangwu said calmly.

The young eunuch hurriedly ran out to find the imperial physician.

If the situation with the King of Wu is not brought under control, their heads... I wonder if they'll be taken away?

Before the imperial physician arrived, King Wu was already writhing on the ground, unable to bear it any longer.

The dignified prince was now acting like a madman.

They either roared like wild beasts, scratched themselves, or banged their heads on the ground, drawing blood in just a few thuds.

Not to mention the bloody scratches on his body, which were truly a gruesome sight.

"Hold him down!" At Emperor Kangwu's command, guards rushed in and pinned down the Prince of Wu's hands and feet.

Even so, the King of Wu continued to struggle violently.

His forehead and neck veins bulged, his facial features were distorted, and his face was as ferocious as a demon from the underworld.

The civil and military officials couldn't help but frown. Was this the master they followed?

It's really... not presentable at all.

"Father!" Prince Rui bowed and proclaimed loudly, "The Siyun tribe harbors wolfish ambitions!"

"I believe we should arrest them and imprison them first. We can discuss other matters later!"

Emperor Kangwu said nothing, he simply raised his hand.

The guards rushed in immediately, their blades drawn, all aimed at the people of the Siyun tribe.

The envoy panicked.

This is not what was planned.

Shouldn't it be Princess Chen'an?

It's no big deal to have a princess who was just found.

Anyway, everything about Qi Zhiyu in the past can be fabricated at will, and can be attributed to her as a spy.

However... the King of Wu was born and raised in the capital.

That's insane. The King of Wu couldn't possibly be an informant for their tribe.

What is all this about?

How could the great shaman make such a basic mistake?

Is this an attempt to kill them all?

"Great Shaman, what exactly is going on?" the messenger asked angrily in a low voice through gritted teeth.

He didn't want to die here!

The great shaman was also bewildered.

He also couldn't understand why the Gu worms he had carefully cultivated were on the King of Wu.

He clearly activated the Gu worms and sent them to Princess Chen'an.

The great shaman suddenly looked at Qi Zhiyu: "Princess Chen'an, impressive skill. You actually stole my method of controlling Gu worms and transferred them to the King of Wu."

Qi Zhiyu chuckled softly: "You can transplant Gu worms?"

"If you know how, please demonstrate it for us on the spot."

The great shaman's expression changed.

Once the Gu worm is planted, it's planted; there's no such thing as transferring it.

Qi Zhiyu naturally knew that the Great Witch wouldn't, because the disgusting thing he had cultivated was of a very low level.

Anyone who leaves the parasite will surely die.

"You don't even know it yourself, and you're saying I stole it from you?" Qi Zhiyu asked, raising an eyebrow with amusement.

Seeing the shaman open his mouth to retort, she interrupted him, "Are you trying to say you don't have any Gu worms for us to perform for?"

"Your place doesn't have one, does it?"

"Guess what? If our people search your place now, they might be able to retrieve the Gu worms for you?"

The great shaman angrily shut his mouth and glared fiercely at Qi Zhiyu.

That damned bastard!

"Your Majesty." The imperial physician was dragged over by the eunuch as they ran frantically.

When he entered the main hall, his legs gave way and he tripped over the threshold, falling to the ground.

The imperial physician immediately bowed in respect.

"Quickly, let the King of Wu take a look!" Emperor Kangwu waved his hand, not caring whether the imperial physician had been impolite.

The imperial physician rushed over, stumbling and crawling, to check on the King of Wu's condition.

After reading it, he was so frightened that he kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I... am not skilled enough in medicine and am powerless to help."

Emperor Kangwu frowned deeply.

Even if he dislikes his fourth son, he is still his son.

He was killed by the Siyun tribe. What a shameful way to die!

"Great Shaman, if you still want to live, get rid of the Gu worms." Emperor Kangwu's gaze fell on the Great Shaman, freezing his blood inch by inch.

He sensed the murderous intent emanating from Emperor Kangwu.

He naturally didn't want to die, but the problem was...

"Your Majesty, once the Gu worms are activated, I... I can't do anything about it," the Great Shaman said with difficulty.

As soon as the high shaman finished speaking, the messengers and the others felt their legs go weak and almost collapsed to the ground.

Their eyes were all fixed on the high shaman.

Even the great shaman couldn't do anything about it?

Then, can they still save their lives?

Duke Wei stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Princess Chen'an is a highly skilled physician. I wonder if she has any way to save Prince Wu's life?"

Emperor Kangwu then turned to Qi Zhiyu: "Chen'an, do you have a solution?"

"Yes," Qi Zhiyu said casually.

The Duke of Wei was furious: "Since the princess had a solution, why didn't she say so earlier?"

Qi Zhiyu looked at him amusedly: "You didn't even ask me."

The Duke of Wei was so angry that his vision blurred: "Human life is at stake! The King of Wu is the Princess's uncle! Does the Princess truly have no regard for family ties at all?"

"Family affection?" Qi Zhiyu's smile deepened as she asked the Duke of Wei, "Did the King of Wu ever show me any familial affection?"

Don't try to fool her with what she just did!

Duke Wei naturally knew King Wu's plan.

Everyone knew that the King of Wu and the King of Rui were vying for power, but apart from Princess Chen'an, no one brought it up; they were all pretending to be ignorant.

Not tearing each other apart is what a decent person should do; only Princess Chen'an is breaking the rules.

"Your Highness is mistaken. Even if we were to face a situation like this, we would risk our lives to save the King of Wu, let alone Your Highness being a relative of him!" Duke Wei said in a deep voice.

"To risk your life to save him?" Qi Zhiyu looked at the Duke of Wei with a half-smile. "If sacrificing yourself could save the King of Wu, would you sacrifice yourself?"

With one hand behind his back, the Duke of Wei declared passionately, "What does it matter if this old minister sacrifices his life, as long as the King of Wu is safe and sound?"

"Protecting the royal family is the duty of a subject!"
