Your Majesty, the Empress Runs Again

Shen Xin originally only wanted to have a small rest, but she didn't expect that when she woke up, it was already the morning of the second day. After checking his pulse, Shen Xin frowned. The phrase "a doctor cannot cure himself" made sense. Knowing that she was sick was something she had long accepted. Knowing that she was sick yet not being able to find out the cause was what troubled her the most.

The potential danger was the most fatal. She could only faintly feel that there was something wrong with her body, but other than being able to eat and not getting fat, it was nothing. Recently, however, she had been getting more and more addicted to sleep. She was always worried that if she slept, she would never wake up. In this life, she hadn't had enough fun yet.

"Miss, the Emperor came to see you sleeping before leaving."

"What is he doing here?" Shen Xin was somewhat surprised that Qin Ao would come to his place. Ever since Shen Yan and Shen He had entered the palace, he seemed to have forgotten about the existence of this Empress.

"Miss, he didn't say anything." Steamed Bun was puzzled. When the emperor came, he clearly had something to say, but he didn't ask them to wake up the young lady and just left.

"Oh." Shen Xin quickly forgot about this matter. She was thinking to talk to Young Master Yulong. The world was big, and just because one's medical skills weren't enough didn't mean that others weren't. But Sir Yulong was one of Qin Ao's men, she could not easily expose her weakness to others. If not for her exposing her weakness in her previous life, she would never have come to this world.

"Qingxu, where's the book from before?" With a thought, if he could have the qualifications to trade with Master Yulong, the result would be different. However, she was not completely sure. After all, she had never come into contact with that thing before.

Very quickly, Qingxu found the book that Steamed Bun came over from the Leisurely House. The information on the books were all about difficult and strange diseases. What she clearly remembered was the story of a rich man who had died after marrying a woman in distress.

After learning medicine from Shen Xin for a long time, Qingxu had never seen such a terrifying disease that could turn a living person into a container for bugs. The bugs would thrive inside the body, slowly sucking up the flesh and blood, and finally draining the body to find a new container. Finally, he explained that those bugs were the Gu from the legends, carried by the body of the woman who married the rich family's old master.

"Miss, don't tell me you want to study Gu worms?" Because Shen Xin had made a lot of markings on the Gu, Qingxu could guess right away. With a bitter face, she looked into Shen Xin's eyes that seemed like they could teach a child a lesson. She trembled a little, Miss being serious would definitely make people's hearts palpitate. He still remembered that his young miss had dared to test him for poison in order to study the insect poison. She would never forget how her young miss looked like when she died after being poisoned, but it was fortunate that her medical skill was superb enough to pull him back from the gates of hell. Although the Miss said that nothing really happened to her body, they were scared stiff.

"Miss, Gu worms don't exist, it's just a legend." Qingxu's face instantly paled. She didn't know whether or not the Gu really existed, so the only thought she had was to extinguish Shen Xin's dangerous thoughts. No one was clearer than Qingxu about Shen Xin's astonishing perseverance. Once she decided to do something, she would not stop until she achieved her goal.

"Qingxu, don't worry. I won't take the risk." Shen Xin carefully held Qingxu's shoulders. She knew what happened in the past and it frightened Qingxu. She wasn't the kind of person who didn't know how high the heavens were and how deep the earth was. The reason why she studied the Insect Grass Poison was to test the limits of her body. But towards Gu worms, a domain that she herself had never explored, she would not risk it easily. It was just that she had read the ancient book about Gu worms and mother Gu, if she could find the mother Gu, there might be hope.

"Where's Steamed Bun?" Shen Xin felt it was strange that he hadn't seen that little girl for a long time.
