Dongfang Mu raised an eyebrow: “How did you know?”

Bai Zhi had a bad premonition: “Grandpa, did you drink that medicinal tea?”

Dongfang Mu replied: “I drink it. I didn’t want to drink it at first. However, the emperor persuaded me several times, so I took a sip. The taste was not really good, so I didn’t take a second sip.”

Bai Zhi rushed forward, stretched out her arms, and checked Dongfang Mu’s pulse.

She couldn’t find any symptoms in the pulse condition. Could it be because he just took a sip?

“What’s the matter?” When she and Hu Feng discussed medicinal tea, Dongfang Mu was not there. Unexpectedly, before she could tell her grandfather, he fell as a victim.

“Is there a problem with that medicinal tea? No! This is what Chu Feng dedicated to the emperor.” A tiger, though cruel, will not devour its cubs, and likewise, a son will not kill his father.

Bai Zhi asked: “Did he tell you where did this medicinal tea come from?”

Dongfang Mu shook his head: “He didn’t say, I didn’t ask, why? Is there really a problem with it?”

Bai Zhi said anxiously: “The day before Hu Feng entered the palace, he also met Chu Feng offering medicinal tea. Hu Feng asked at that time and brought a packet of medicinal tea back. This medicinal tea comes from Liuan Pharmacy Shop. It contains the licorice medicine in it.”

As soon as Dongfang Mu heard this, he felt his stomach turning and felt like vomiting: “What did you say?”

“Grandpa, you are probably already suffering from Gu.” Bai Zhi was now very anxious. Her forehead was covered with cold sweats.

Dongfang Mu froze for a while, then shook his head: “Impossible, even if Chu Feng wanted to harm me, he would never harm the emperor, right? That tea I drink was for the emperor.”

Bai Zhi sighed: “Chu Feng is already crazy. He doesn’t put anyone in his eyes right now. He only thinks about the imperial power. What do you think he can’t do?”

Dongfang Mu slumped into the chair. Originally, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. But now, he felt like his body was full of bugs, which he found extremely uncomfortable.

“You haven’t think of a way to solve these gu worms?” Dongfang Mu asked.

Bai Zhi immediately shook her head: “No, I’m still trying to find a way. I already have some solutions, but it still doesn’t work.”

The grandfather and granddaughter fell silent for a while, then Bai Zhi suddenly sighed: “If we can find Song Lang, it will be fine. These gu worms belong to him. He must have a way to solve it.”

Dongfang Mu suppressed the anxiety in his heart and forced himself to pull out a smile:: “It’s okay. If my old bones can’t stand it, then I will die. But you must remember, don’t let me become that inhumane and ghostly monster. If I lost my mind, just kill me in one fell swoop.”

It was very easy to say, but hard to do. Bai Zhi bitterly smiled: “Well, don’t say these silly things. There is still time, don’t worry. I will definitely find a way to solve these gu worms. I will never let you end up that way.”

Dongfang Mu waved his hand and said with a smile: “You must have something to say so you came and wait for me here.”

Bai Zhi got up and shook her head towards Dongfang Mu: “It’s okay, you should rest early.”

Soon after Bai Zhi left, Dongfang Mu asked someone to send him braised meat into the study.

On the way back to her courtyard, Bai Zhi looked up at the waning moon in the sky. She suddenly crazily hoped that the moon would be full sooner.

If the blood infected with Gu can be sent to the laboratory, the medicine that can restrain these worms can be found quickly.

But now, there were still more than ten days to go before the full moon.

She doesn’t know if her grandpa can hold it until then. After ten days, what will her grandpa become to be?

What should she do?

Standing under the corridor, she suddenly felt very cold. She had never felt so cold like this.

This feeling of helplessness was really terrible!

It would be great if Lin Yang was here. He had always been good at looking for a solution with unknown and problematic cases.
