Shen Yang nodded to Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu walked around the table with an anxious expression.

Pei Moning hurried forward, pulled him and asked, "Stop. What's the matter?"

"The toxins in her body are about to be cleaned up. But if the Awakening Worm is not brought out in time, she may not be able to stand it." He said at this time.

After listening, Pei Moning quickly asked, "What will happen?"

"Get weak and die." He looked at Pei Moning and said.

Pei Moning was shocked after hearing this, "What?"

Runyu walked to Shen Yang and asked, "Does Marquis Shuo know about this?"

"He already knew that, and he is now heading to the Witchcraft City." Shen Yang said.

Pei Moning walked to Shen Yang and asked with a puzzled look, "The Witchcraft City? Is it related to Witchcraft City?"

"I don't know." Shen Yang shook his head and said.

Pei Moning turned around and walked out.

Runyu asked, "Where are you going?"

"To Witchcraft City. Instead of being anxious here, I'd like to see what's going on. Maybe I can help." Pei Moning turned his head and said.

Runyu nodded and then said, "I will go with you."

Pei Moning nodded, and the two also left the yard.

Shen Yang saw Uncle Liu was still sighing, so he comforted and said, "It will be all right."

"I hope so!" Uncle Liu closed his eyes and said.

In Dongling.

After Chushi Weiming returned to Jing City, he went to report to Chushi Youtian.

In the Imperial Study, Chushi Youtian put down the file and asked Chushi Weiming, "How is everything in Jiandu?"

"With Dean Shen here, the plague has been almost under control. Marquis Shuo led the people to build houses for the victims. Most victims have already lived in the houses." Chushi Weiming answered.

Chushi Youtian was very happy and then said with a smile, "Very good!"

"By the way, I heard that he is preparing to build the dam!" Chushi Weiming said, taking a peek at Chushi Youtian.

Chushi Youtian, who was still smiling just now, heard what Chushi Weiming said, stopped smiling, and asked him some other questions. Then he let Chushi Weiming go.

Chushi Weiming sneered after leaving the Imperial Study. He thought, "Shuo Ling, if it weren't for you, Yang Zijin would have been mine long ago, as well as the card."

Then His Majesty would punish Shuo Ling for me.

He knew that after he told Chushi Youtian about the matter, Chushi Youtian wouldn't be happy.

Building a dam needed a large amount of money, but Shuo Ling started the construction without reporting it to Chushi Youtian.

After Chushi Weiming left, Chushi Youtian clenched his fists tightly.

It seemed that he underestimated Shuo Ling. He knew that Shuo Ling ran several banks in Jing City.

But he didn't expect that he would build the dam casually. It seemed that it was time to investigate carefully.

So, he called the secret guard Luoxue.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Chushi Youtian ordered, "Go to the mansion of Marquis secretly and investigate all the people there, including people they have contacted."

"Okay." Luoxue nodded after hearing this.

Luoxue was about to leave. Chushi Youtian spoke again, "Wait, he also has banks here. Go to investigate these banks, too."

"Okay!" Then Luoxue walked out of the Imperial Study.

After Luoxue left, Chushi Youtian frowned. He wondered how much did Shuo Ling know about the thing that happened many years ago?

If he really knew what happened back then, who told him? Could it be that there was someone who had escaped?

Thinking of this, Chushi Youtian frowned.

As soon as Chushi Weiming got off the carriage, he saw Liu Yiyi standing at the door with a big belly waiting for him.

He hurried forward to hold her, then touched her stomach and said, "It's windy outside. How can you stand here?"

Then he yelled at Zi, the maid beside Liu Yiyi, "How do you take care of Madam?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me." Zi knelt down quickly.

Liu Yiyi hurriedly pulled Chushi Weiming, "Don't blame her. I am very happy to hear that you are back, so I asked her to wait at the door with me."

"Okay. You're pregnant now. You can't do this again. I will go to find you and our child when I come back." He said while touching her belly.

Liu Yiyi's face turned red. She lowered her head, and said, "I know."

"Then let's go in." He helped her in.

She nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

They walked to the yard. Chushi Weiming said, "It hasn't been a long time since I went out. Your belly is much bigger. It seems that our child wants to grow up sooner."

The doctor who went back earlier also arrived in Jing City.

Qiao Yanlin learned the news. He hurried out from the imperial hospital, and the doctors all greeted him one after another.

After all the doctors got off the carriage, he still didn't see Qiao Shu and Shen Yang.

He frowned and wondered could it be that something happened?

Then he pulled a person and asked, "Where are Dean Shen and Qiao Shu?"

"Oh, they are still in Jiandu." One man said.

Hearing this, Qiao Yanlin looked puzzled and asked, "Still in Jiandu? Why didn't they come back with you?"

"Originally, we planned to come back together. Later, when we came out of Jiandu, Master Mo came to chase us, saying that Her Highness had been poisoned, so Dean Shen turned back. Later, Miss Qiao was worried, so she followed him." Another person said.

Qiao Yanlin felt relaxed and then said to them, "Okay, I know. You must be tired all the way. Go in to have a rest."

"Okay." They nodded and left.

Qiao Yanlin felt that Her Highness's poisoning could be caused by Qiao Shu.

He knew her the best. She had admired Shuo Ling for many years. But Infanta Qingcheng would become his wife soon. Qiao Shu might do this, possibly.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yanlin felt worried and then prayed silently in his mind, hoping that it had nothing to do with Qiao Shu.

In Witchcraft City.

Shuo Ling rushed forward, and after only half a day's journey, he reached the Witchcraft City.

He arrived at the door, took out the card that the king of witchcraft gave him, and hurriedly walked inside.

Hou Shi was enjoying flowers and tea in the courtyard when he heard the sound.

Hou Shi frowned, and then turned his head and said loudly, "I don't want to be bothered... Ah, why are you here?"

Seeing that it was Shuo Ling, Hou Shi asked in surprise.

"I am here to discuss something with you." Shuo Ling walked forward and said.

Hou Shi asked, "What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?"

"The seduce of the nightmare!" Shuo Ling said.

Hou Shi asked with a puzzled look, "The seduce of the nightmare? What's wrong?"

"Zhan You captured Her Highness, and there is an Awakening Worm in her body. I am afraid it will be life-threatening as time passes." Shuo Ling said.

Hou Shi frowned, "You mean Zhan You asked you to exchange her with the seduce of the nightmare?"

"Right!" Shuo Ling nodded.

Hou Shi looked at Shuo Ling and then asked, "Are you determined? Once the seduce of the nightmare is returned to Zhan You, I am afraid that it won't be so easy to get it back."

"I will think of a way later, but I can only do this now." Shuo Ling looked aside and said.

Hou Shi nodded, and then said, "It seems that you have a very close relationship with her. In this case, I have an idea to deal with it."

"What?" Shuo Ling asked.

Hou Shi said, "I will make a potion and soak the seduce of the nightmare in it, which can weaken its ability. Even if there is no chance to get it back in the future, we can also reduce some damage."

"How long will it take?" After hearing this, Shuo Ling frowned slightly and then asked.

Hou Shi thought for a while, then said. "About 15 minutes."

"Then, thank you." Shuo Ling nodded.

Hou Shi hurriedly walked into the house to make the potion.

Fifteen minutes later, Hou Shi walked out of the house with a jar in his hand. The seduce of the nightmare was in the jar.

Hou Shi walked to Shuo Ling, "It's all right."

Hou Shi said, handing the jar to Shuo Ling, and then said, "It seems that there are Twin Worms in your and her Highness's bodies. Zhan You is cunning. I'm afraid that it will be hard for you to deal with him if you are alone. How about I go with you?"

"Thank you for worrying. But if you go, it will definitely arouse Zhan You's vigilance." Shuo Ling said.

Hou Shi said, "That's it."

Then Shuo Ling nodded, then turned around and ran out.

There was not much time, and it would take two days to get to Xiling from here at the fastest speed.

Thinking of this, Shuo Ling left quickly.

After Shuo Ling had just left, Pei Moning and Runyu also arrived.

They didn't have a card, so that they couldn't get in. Pei Moning asked the person at the door and knew that Shuo Ling had just left.

Later they asked his whereabouts, only to find out that he had run towards Xiling.

So the two got on their horses again and chased after him.
