Shen Mi had a complicated expression. She slowly sat down on the chair, looking at the jade bracelet on the table. Her heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles.

Your Majesty really doesn't want her to have a child with the Fourth Master?

What about Yuer?

What about their Yu'er?

Yun Lan felt very distressed when she saw her like that.

She picked up the teapot, poured tea for Shen Mi, and sat opposite her.

"Miss, I heard that the spring silkworm poison can mess up people's minds."

"Now that the Fourth Master and you have consummated your marriage, I am afraid that the Fourth Master will be affected by this Gu."

"If we can't find the mother Gu, then the Fourth Master..."

She continued, "What if the Fourth Master is used by someone with ulterior motives? What should we do?"

Shen Mi's face was calm and her hands were slightly clenched.

"You're right, we have to find the mother insect."

"As for this jade bracelet."

Shen Mi took a look and said: "You don't have to go in person, just ask someone to go."

"Remember, don't let others notice."

"Yes, ma'am."

Shen Mi sat in the chair and took a deep breath.

In this life, she must protect Yu'er no matter what.

Even if it costs her own life, she will protect her child in this life.

In his previous life, his child died tragically and never met the Fourth Master until his death.

No matter what happens in this life, she will try her best to keep Yuer alive and well.

After Yunlan left, the sky gradually darkened.

Qinghe and Nanny Sun brought in hot water for her to wash.

Nanny Sun stood beside Shen Mi, and seeing that she was pretty, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

In recent days, the Qilin Army has been busy with military affairs, and the surrounding countries are in turmoil.

The Qilin Army was also mobilized very frequently.

While many countries were in turmoil, Dayan was relatively peaceful among them.

However, even in this peaceful situation, war could break out at any time.

During the past few days in Prince Rui's Mansion, Shen Mi also heard some news about Liguo and Beili.

After Li State and Xizhou destroyed Beili State, all the royal family members of Beili State became captives of Li State.

Among them, the queen, princess, and even concubines of Beili were captured and taken to Li State, becoming playthings of Li State’s soldiers and even the royal family.

Even Emperor Beili and many Beili princes died on the way to capture.

Emperor Li was cruel and brutal, and he performed the sheep-leading ceremony on the men of the Beili royal family.

They were made to take off their clothes, cover themselves with sheepskins and parade through the streets of the capital of Liguo.

Some men committed suicide out of shame and anger, while others were tortured to death.

Emperor Li has always been extremely licentious, and the royal family of Li is even more filthy.

Shen Mi closed her eyes and thought of the scene when the Fourth Master was in the royal family of Liguo when he was a child, and she couldn't help feeling sad.

These days, although Murong Che was newly married to her, he was busy with military affairs.

Shen Mi lay on the couch, looking at the flickering candlelight, as if it were all a dream.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it had been, but in a daze, I seemed to feel a familiar breath walking to the bed.

"Mi'er."

The gentle and magnetic voice penetrates into the eardrum.

Before Shen Mi could open her eyes, she felt a strong hand holding her waist, lifting her up from the bed and taking her to a cool place to sit.

The candles in the room went out and Shen Mi slowly opened her eyes.

In the night, Murong Che's deep eyes looked at him.

The white rice paper on the table swayed in the moonlight and fell to the ground, making a rustling sound.

Only then did Shen Mi realize that Murong Che was holding her on the desk.

"Fourth Master, you're back."

"You, what are you doing?"

Murong Che curled his lips and leaned closer to her.

The ink-like black hair was scattered and entangled with hers.

The moonlight fell on his face, making him look evil and handsome.

He raised his eyebrows: "Wait for me, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Shen Mi nodded, her cheeks slightly red.

She looked at the desk beneath her and the scattered white rice paper.

With his disheveled clothes and clear, bright eyes, there was a hint of surprise.

"Murong Che, you are not..."

"Could it be that he was affected by the Gu and his mind was disturbed?"

“This is the table.”

Murong Che raised his eyebrows, leaned over, and his hot breath touched her cheek.

"Nonsense, who's messed up?"

"Let's...try it here."

Shen Mi blushed instantly.

"try what?"

"Murong Che!"

She reached out and pushed him. Seeing his expression, she was very worried: "Could it be that this is really the effect of the Gu?"

"Does your heart hurt?"

Murong Che reached out, grabbed her hand, and placed it on his chest.

"It hurts. It hurts a lot."

"You touch it."

Seeing his evil look, Shen Mi reached out and pinched his chest.

"Murong Che, you have been abiding by etiquette for so long, but now that you are married, your fox tail has finally been exposed."

"True nature is revealed."

"This is a table, you also..."

Seeing her anxious and angry look, Murong Che let out a low, hoarse laugh.

"I've always been like this. I've never hidden my tail."

"Before I married you, I was afraid that you might get pregnant and that would tarnish your reputation."

"Now, it's legitimate with you."

"nature……"

His words died on his lips.

Shen Mi took advantage of the moonlight and reached out to gently stroke his handsome cheek.

Seeing his lazy look, I couldn't help but say: "Before you got married, you were very polite."

"Now that we're married, it's not serious at all."

"On this table, you also..."

"You are obsessed with lust."

The man's protruding Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he couldn't help but lean over and kiss her.

"You're right, I am just lustful, I just like your lust."

"I have no interest in other people's things."

Shen Mi's breathing was disordered. She held his chest tightly with her hands. Looking at the old scars on his body, she felt very distressed.

The poison has been removed, and the Fourth Master doesn't seem to be controlled by the mother poison.

The man's long black hair hung down, and the moonlight shone through the window, intertwining with hers.

For a moment, she felt like a prey, allowing Murong Che to control her.

Late at night, Shen Mi was carried back to bed by Murong Che.

She was sleeping soundly in the quiet room.

Murong Che got down from the couch under the moonlight, covered his chest in pain, and walked out of the room.

The door closed again, veins popped out on his forehead, and beads of sweat dripped down his handsome cheeks.

My heart feels like it's being stabbed by a knife.

Is this the heart-wrenching pain that Yu Zian mentioned?

But he also gradually realized that his memory of Shen Mi had faded a little in the past few days.

He could not remember leaving the country, but only remembered what happened after Shen Mi met her in Yanjing.

In the pavilion, Fu Ying ran over when she saw this.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"Could it be that the Gu has taken effect?"

Murong Che covered his chest with one hand and supported his body with the other hand as he walked towards the front hall of Prince Rui's Mansion.

"Go and fetch Yu Zian now."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After receiving the order, Fu Ying immediately left Prince Rui's Mansion, mounted his horse and headed straight for Wangjing Tower.

In the second half of the night, Shen Mi was sleeping soundly and did not notice that Murong Che was not beside her.

In the middle of the night, Yu Zian was invited to Prince Rui's mansion by Fu Ying.

He entered the front hall of Prince Rui's mansion and saw Murong Che sitting on a chair with a painful look on his face.

"Your Highness, is it the spring silkworms that are breaking out now?"

Murong Che nodded, "Yes."

Yu Zian said: "Now that Sang Ning is dead, the mother Gu has not been found yet. I am afraid we can only wait for the spring silkworms to slowly dissipate."

Murong Che covered his chest and asked: "How long will it take?"

Yu Zian said: "At least two months."

"Two months?"

"So long."

"Is there any way to relieve this heart-wrenching pain?"

Yu Zian nodded: "Yes."

"However, the most worrying thing about this spring silkworm is its restless nature."

"Your Highness, do you notice anything unusual now?"

Murong Che closed his eyes: "Nothing unusual."

"It's just that some memories seem to be getting more and more blurred, especially those about me and Shen Mi."

“I don’t know if it will get worse.”

Yu Zian stretched out his hand to feel his pulse.

Murong Che's pulse was stable. He sighed and said, "It's the second day of your marriage. Logically, this shouldn't happen."

He took a porcelain bottle from the medicine box and handed it to Murong Che.

"Take one pill every day, and this heart-wrenching pain will be relieved."

"Thank you, Doctor Yu."

……

The next day, when Shen Mi woke up, it was already dawn.

Murong Che got up early, had breakfast prepared for her, and went to court.

Yun Lan came in and told her what happened when Yu Zian came to Prince Rui’s mansion yesterday.

Shen Mi's hand holding the comb suddenly froze.

"Senior brother?"

"Brother, why are you coming to Prince Rui's Mansion so late at night?"

"Could it be that the Fourth Master has had a relapse of his spring silkworms?"

Yun Lan said: "From what Fu Ying said, it seems so."

Shen Mi put down the comb in her hand and looked at Yun Lan: "Yun Lan, have you found any clues about the matter you asked me to inquire about?"

"Where did Sang Ning go after returning to the Shen family?"

Yun Lan shook her head: "Miss, the secret guards are still investigating, but they have no clues so far."

"However, when Master Yu left yesterday, he gave Fu Ying a letter and asked her to give it to me and ask me to pass it on to you."

As he spoke, Yun Lan handed a letter to Shen Mi.

Shen Mi slowly opened the letter, glanced at the contents and frowned.

"What's wrong, miss?"

Shen Mi looked at the contents of the letter and remained silent for a while.

"Last night, the Fourth Master told Senior Brother that there are some things that the Fourth Master can't remember."

"He doesn't even remember clearly what happened when we were away from home as children."

"We have to find the mother Gu as soon as possible."
