Situ Yan had been taking care of Mu Jinse all this time, and it was apparent that Mu Jinse had been unconscious for a considerable duration, although her overall physical condition remained stable.
Due to the internal impact of the Gu worm, Mu Jinse's vitality was significantly depleted.
Five days later, Mu Jinse finally regained consciousness.
Upon witnessing signs of Mu Jinse's awakening, Situ Yan quickly left the bedroom, allowing Mu Lingbing to take care of her instead.
Mu Jinse's current physical condition was already extremely weak, and encountering Situ Yan would likely exacerbate her distress. He couldn't take that risk and couldn't afford to worsen her condition.
When Mu Jinse woke up, she only saw a familiar figure disappearing before her eyes. However, when the thought crossed her mind that it might have been Situ Yan, she couldn't help but find it amusing.
To dream about a man who had ruined her life seemed ridiculous to her.
"Mother, how do you feel?" Mu Lingbing couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw Mu Jinse waking up. Mu Jinse had been unconscious for several days, and it had caused her great worry.
Mu Jinse shook her pale face and replied, "What happened to me afterward?"
After giving Mu Jinse a glass of water, Mu Lingbing proceeded to describe the events of the previous days, leaving out the involvement of Situ Yan and the others.
"You mean I was poisoned by a Gu worm?" A strong sense of shock filled Mu Jinse's eyes. She never expected to have fallen victim to such a terrifying Gu poison.
"Yes, Hongzhu used silver needles to force the Gu worm out of your body. That's when we discovered its existence. However, expelling the Gu worm from your body is not an easy task. Hongzhu is currently trying to find a solution," Mu Lingbing explained calmly.
"Yue Siqing... she actually poisoned me with a Gu worm!" Mu Jinse's voice carried a hint of disbelief. She never imagined that she would be afflicted by such a horrifying Gu poison. The fact that so many physicians were unfamiliar with its symptoms didn't come as a surprise.
The existence of Gu worms had disappeared for many years. It seemed that Yue Siqing went to great lengths to torment her, even going as far as to unearth such a thing.
"I never expected Yixuan to be able to discern the Gu poison. Truly remarkable," Mu Jinse couldn't help but sigh. Previously, Hongzhu had already cured her legs, which had amazed her. Although there were still some lingering effects when walking, given a little more time, she would fully recover.
This alone was enough to prove Hongzhu's medical skills. Despite the many physicians who had treated her before, none had been able to heal her legs.
Just this fact alone was astounding.
"So, Yixuan suppressed my Gu poison?" Mu Jinse asked.
Mu Lingbing nodded slightly. "Yixuan only temporarily suppressed the onset of the Gu poison. She said she would take advantage of this time to find a solution."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinse's expression changed. Although Mu Lingbing had only revealed a few details, she understood the implications.
While the previous episodes of Gu poison had been painful and intolerable, they were far less intense and terrifying compared to this time.
If Hongzhu hadn't discovered a solution during this period, Mu Jinse's life would be in imminent danger.
This was not what she wanted to see, but even if she lost her life, she considered it a blessing to have seen Mu Lingbing and Lan Yixuan in this lifetime.
Even if it meant losing her life like this, she could accept it.
