After arriving at the uncle's mansion, the queen ordered people to help the prince down and strictly guard Yuan Ziying, not allowing her to leave her sight.

The people in the uncle's mansion hurriedly arranged a bedroom for the prince.

"What happened? Why did Prince Duan suddenly launch a palace coup?"

"It's a long story." The queen was worried about the prince's poison and didn't want to explain too much. "There are the emperor and the imperial guards in the palace. Don't worry for now, wait for news."

Yuan Ziying was forced to enter the prince's bedroom. There were the queen and two maids in the room, and six maids. There were also a lot of guards outside the bedroom, as if they were afraid that she would run away.

"This palace orders you to detoxify the prince immediately." The queen's face was very cold, "The news of the palace coup will come early tomorrow morning. If Prince Duan gets the throne, you witch, this palace will let you be buried with the prince."

Yuan Ziying raised her eyebrows slightly.

What the queen meant by this was that if Prince Duan won, she would give up saving the prince?

What a cold and ruthless mother.

But the prince must be saved. After all, she never intended to let Lu Mingxuan, the ungrateful man, sit on the throne of the emperor.

"Don't worry, Queen. Since I have left the palace, I will naturally save the prince." Yuan Ziying looked around, "But with so many people around, it may not be conducive to detoxification later."

The Queen said coldly: "Witch, you'd better not play tricks again."

"It's not a trick, it's just for the safety of the prince." Yuan Ziying walked up to her and whispered the method and process of detoxification, "So there must be an absolutely quiet environment."

The Queen looked at her suspiciously: "You'd better not lie to me."

"If the Queen doesn't believe it, I can't help it."

The Queen gritted her teeth and waved coldly: "Everyone go out. Stand outside the door and wait outside the window. Don't let her run away."

"Yes."

Yuan Ziying washed her hands, ordered someone to bring in a bowl, then moved a stool to the bed, and pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and placed it on the table next to her.

When Lu Mingyu saw the dagger, a trace of vigilance flashed across his eyes: "What do you want to do with the dagger?"

"Of course I have a use for it." Yuan Ziying said calmly, "Your Highness, you can rest assured. If I want to kill you, I don't need a dagger at all. It's unnecessary."

Lu Mingyu looked gloomy, but he didn't say anything else.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Yuan Ziying first sealed several major meridians on Lu Mingyu's body with silver needles, and explained: "Seal these meridians to relieve your pain. When you draw out the poison later, you won't howl in pain, and you won't scare the baby Gu and let it go back into your body."

As she said, she gave a few instructions: "During the process of drawing out the poison, the prince must remain quiet and try not to move."

Lu Mingyu warned: "You'd better not play tricks."

Yuan Ziying was too lazy to pay attention, and quickly cut her finger with a dagger, dripping bright red blood into the bowl. When the blood covered the bottom of the bowl, she wrapped her finger with a cloth strip and placed the bowl next to Lu Mingyu's finger.

Then she began to give Lu Mingyu acupuncture.

I don't know if it was because of Yuan Ziying's bloodletting, the worms seemed to start wriggling in his body.

Lu Mingyu's blood seemed to be coagulated, and the feeling was not pain, but an indescribable nausea and vomiting.

He suppressed the discomfort and quietly felt the insect moving from his heart to his left shoulder under the guidance of Yuan Ziying's silver needle.

The pain was clear, but bearable.

The queen stood not far from the inner room, pacing non-stop.

The lights in the front yard were brilliant, and countless torches illuminated half of the sky.

Everyone in the Prince's Mansion was destined to be unable to sleep tonight. There were news from the palace from time to time, but because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was at a critical moment of detoxification, no one dared to pass the news to the inner courtyard.

The insect moved along the arm little by little.

Lu Mingyu was tense all over, lying motionless at the head of the bed, his face pale, and fine cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

Yuan Ziying stared at his arm, and the queen followed her line of sight and almost couldn't help screaming.

On the strong arm, a living thing seemed to break through the layer of skin and break out of the ground, which was frightening.

The queen was frightened and pale, what is this?

The creature moved from the shoulder to the elbow, and then moved towards the wrist little by little, where a bowl of fresh blood was waiting for it.

Time was extremely long and unbearable.

Lu Mingyu's face was extremely pale, half because of the pain, and half because of nervousness. The fear of death and pain was firmly shrouded in his heart at this time, restraining all his movements, making people willing to turn into a wooden sculpture.

The queen's face was also pale, but as she watched the thing gradually move towards her fingertips, she finally saw the hope of living.

At this moment, she didn't even think about taking Yuan Ziying's life, but thanked her for not playing any tricks and just detoxifying the prince.

The thing finally showed up.

The queen opened her mouth wide, her face pale, and turned her head quickly, holding back the sound of a scream of fear.

What is that?

A thing with a pointed head and sharp claws like a centipede.

Black…

Her blood seemed to be coagulating. She held her breath and turned her head carefully to take another look. But she saw that the thing had slowly emerged from her fingertips and jumped directly into the bowl of blood.

The queen didn’t dare to say a word.

Until Yuan Ziying picked the insect out of the bowl with a dagger and stood up, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Her legs went weak and she almost fell down: “Are you okay?”

Yuan Ziying nodded: “The poison has been cured.”

"That's good, that's good." The queen's face turned pale, and she walked to the bed with weak legs, "Yu'er, how do you feel?"

Lu Mingyu said: "Not bad."

"Does it still hurt now?"

Lu Mingyu shook his head: "No."

The queen was still in shock, and turned to look at Yuan Ziying, her tone was not as tough and fierce as before in the palace.

She had figured it out in that short time.

Whether Yuan Ziying was a doctor or a witch, whether the poison in Lu Mingyu's body was put by her, she didn't want to pursue it.

Yuan Ziying's ability was powerful and weird, and she fell into her trap if she was not careful.

Even though she had detoxified the prince, the queen still felt uneasy, thinking that such a smart woman would not leave a way out for herself.

She was worried that if she insisted on killing Yuan Ziying, she would have some tricks waiting for her.

So after making sure that Lu Mingyu was fine, she calmed down and said lightly: "I still want to thank you for detoxifying the prince. Whether it was a coincidence that you came to the palace to treat the emperor, or you had other purposes, I don't want to pursue it. I just hope you can tell the truth. Is the prince really okay?"

"Yes."

"Then you go."

Yuan Ziying was surprised: "The queen let me go?"

"Yes, let you go." The queen sat down on the edge of the bed tiredly, "The palace is in chaos, and the prince and I still have a lot of things to deal with. The most important thing now is to stay alive. I don't need to make enemies for the prince anymore, and I don't want to stain my hands with blood. You go."

Yuan Ziying was slightly surprised.

She did leave herself a backup plan, which was to prevent the queen from going back on her word and wanting to silence her, but since she was willing to be lenient, she certainly wouldn't continue to go against her.
