Although Gu Qinlan was extremely surprised, she felt more admiration.

Immediately, Gu Qinlan gave an order to Lou Wei, who was stunned at the side:

"Come here. The next process will be even more painful. You must be careful not to let Prince Duan hurt himself."

"Yes, yes, sir." Lou Wei agreed quickly, his nervousness evident in his words.

At this moment, as the golden needle in Gu Qinlan's hand pierced the target accurately, the Thousand Poison Golden Toad seemed to become even more fanatical.

Its mouthparts actually stretched out and bit tightly onto the blood vessel at Zheng Dinglian's wound!

As the blood vessels expand and surge, an obvious bulge slowly moves in the blood vessels.

Gu Qinlan observed the bulge intently, knowing full well that it was half of the poisonous insect hidden in Zheng Dinglian's body.

Immediately, golden needles pierced in like raindrops, blocking the insect's retreat and forcing it to move towards the Thousand Poison Golden Toad.

The two poisons fought fiercely in Zheng Dinglian's body, and both sides tried to gain control of this body!

As a battlefield in this war, the pain that Zheng Dinglian endured is beyond words!

He felt as if he was in a mixture of ice and fire. Every organ in his body was itchy and painful, and his bones seemed to be torn apart and then put back together. All the feelings intertwined together, making him feel like he was dying.

Zheng Dinglian bit his lips in pain, and blood dyed the corners of his lips red, adding a bit of weird beauty.

Gu Qinlan took a glance and shouted to Lou Wei: "What are you still standing there for? Stop him from biting his tongue!"

Lou Wei was startled and hurriedly tried to pry open Zheng Dinglian's mouth. In his anxiety, he even put his arm in.

"Yeah." Zheng Dinglian bit Lou Wei's arm, and Lou Wei couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Upon seeing this, Gu Qinlan immediately went all out and chased after the Southern Xinjiang poisonous insect together with the Thousand Poison Golden Toad!

As the bulge moved slowly, it finally reached the wound.

I saw a black insect crawling out of the wound with difficulty.

As soon as the insect showed its head, it tried to escape, but Gu Qinlan quickly shot it with several golden needles and nailed it to the bed.

Upon seeing this, the Thousand Poison Golden Toad pounced on it excitedly and swallowed the black half of the poisonous insect into its stomach in just a few bites.

Gu Qinlan immediately opened the sandalwood box. After the Thousand Poison Golden Toad had eaten and drunk its fill, it smelled the scent of the sandalwood box and slowly crawled in.

The moment the box was closed, Gu Qinlan's forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

The poisonous insect continued to absorb nutrients from Zheng Dinglian's body, and his body was almost recovered!

If the poisonous insect is allowed to fully recover, it will be extremely difficult to force it out even with the help of the Thousand Poison Golden Toad.

As the poisonous insect disappeared, Zheng Dinglian's pain was relieved and he let go of Lou Wei's arm.

Lou Wei covered his bloody arm, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked cautiously:

"Princess, our master..."

Gu Qinlan was extremely tired at this moment.

Her mind was working at high speed throughout the whole night, and she didn't dare to relax at all.

Not only did he have to appease Xinyi Shewu, but he also had to find a way to make him willingly join forces with him.

Now, after successfully removing the Southern Xinjiang poison from Zheng Dinglian, Gu Qinlan has exhausted the last bit of his strength.

Gu Qinlan looked a little haggard. She casually threw a bottle of herbs to Lou Wei and said in a serious tone:

"The crisis has been resolved for now, but your body has been eroded by the poisonous insect for a long time. It will take at least three months to completely remove the poison. During this period, you need to recuperate slowly. I'm afraid you won't be able to move freely for the time being."

"You take care of Prince Duan's wound first. I have to go back and rest for a while. We will continue the discussion after I wake up."

Before she finished speaking, Gu Qinlan was about to stand up, but as soon as she stood up, her wrist was held tightly by someone.

Gu Qinlan was slightly startled and looked down.

Zheng Dinglian had already opened his eyes at this time, and his eyes, as deep as the night sky, were fixed on her.

The pair of hands that had been wielding weapons for years had rough calluses on the palms. They tightly gripped Gu Qinlan's wrist, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

Zheng Dinglian seemed to notice Gu Qinlan's slightly frowned brows. He was slightly stunned and glanced at her, and ripples appeared in his heart.

Gu Qinlan's wrist, as white as jade, and Ding Lian's bronze hand set off each other beautifully, and the contrast between black and white appears particularly vivid.

Such a fragile wrist, it seemed like it could be broken with just a slight pinch.

However, it was this pair of hands that actually saved him and the lives of everyone in Prince Duan's Mansion...

Zheng Dinglian quickly let go of Gu Qinlan's hand, only to see a hint of pink on that delicate wrist. He couldn't help but say with some regret:

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to express... gratitude to you."

Gu Qinlan glanced at Zheng Dinglian helplessly, rubbed her wrist gently, muttered "rude man" in her heart, but whispered:

"No need to be polite. Since I have married into the palace, I am a member of the palace and your wife. Saving you is my duty. Don't worry about it."

"However, with your wisdom, you should understand that although Prince Duan's Mansion is prosperous on the surface, it is actually full of crises..."

Hearing Zheng Dinglian wanting to continue talking, Gu Qinlan couldn't help but feel a splitting headache. She was really too tired...

So she interrupted Zheng Dinglian and said seriously:

"Prince Duan, are you really going to talk to me about these things now?"

Having said that, Gu Qinlan looked Zheng Dinglian up and down, and a deep and meaningful light flashed in her eyes.

Zheng Dinglian was speechless for a moment and lowered his head subconsciously. When he saw this, his face suddenly turned as red as the sunset.

He is actually naked?

Zheng Dinglian realized this and quickly pulled the quilt over to cover his body tightly.

Who could have thought that a god of war who struck fear into the hearts of his enemies on the battlefield would actually experience an unprecedented shyness at this moment?

Gu Qinlan looked at Zheng Dinglian's embarrassed expression, who was as if he wanted to hide himself under the quilt, and couldn't help laughing. She turned to Lou Wei and said,

"Please take good care of Prince Duan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qinlan turned around and left, going straight back to his residence to rest.

After Gu Qinlan left, the heat on Zheng Dinglian's face slowly faded away. He glanced at Lou Wei and said in a heavy tone:

"Why didn't you remind the king?"

It was the first time that Lou Wei saw his master so flustered, like an innocent teenager. He couldn't help but smile and answer:

"Oh, isn't it too late? It was you who insisted on holding the princess back and not letting her leave..."

After hearing this, Zheng Dinglian felt even more depressed.

Zheng Dinglian originally just wanted to clarify the situation with Gu Qinlan and hoped that she would leave Prince Duan's Mansion. However, he did not expect that the detoxification ceremony would become so embarrassing that he was almost stripped of all his clothes.

If that's the case...

Didn't it mean that during the process of removing the poison, Gu Qinlan had a clear view of him?

Zheng Dinglian suppressed his anger and remained silent.

Lou Wei noticed his emotions, gently shook the porcelain bottle in his hand, and carefully suggested:

"Then, shall I apply medicine and bandage the wound first?"
