"Could it be...?"
A look of shock flashed in Bai Li Hongzhuang's eyes. She had never considered this possibility before, but judging from Mu Jinse's current condition, there was only one possible explanation.
Everyone, including Situ Yan and the others, watched Mu Jinse with deep concern, their hearts in turmoil.
When they heard Bai Li Hongzhuang's sudden realization, all eyes turned to her.
"Yixuan, do you know something?" Mu Lingbing grabbed Bai Li Hongzhuang's hand anxiously, her face filled with worry.
"Gu poison," Bai Li Hongzhuang murmured, uttering the two words that made Situ Yan and the others' faces turn pale.
"Gu poison?" Situ Yan looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang in astonishment. Gu poison was rarely encountered, and its reputation alone was enough to make people shudder in fear.
Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded slightly. "I saw a trace of Gu poison on my grandmother's forehead just now, something that has never appeared before, so I never considered it."
During these days, Bai Li Hongzhuang had always believed that Mu Jinse's current condition was due to poisoning. However, none of the toxins or poisons she had encountered matched Mu Jinse's symptoms.
Now, linking it to Gu poison, Bai Li Hongzhuang suddenly realized.
If it was Gu poison, everything would make sense.
"The methods of Gu poison are extremely vicious, and they have long been banned. The Witch Gu Clan, in particular, was completely wiped out in the Holy Profound Continent many years ago," Lan Yundiao said with a serious face.
Gu poison was incredibly sinister and its methods extremely cruel. The Witch Gu Clan had caused havoc in the Holy Profound Continent in the past, and as a result, the entire clan was exterminated.
They had never thought that Yue Siqing would use Gu poison on Mu Jinse. However, now that they thought about it, they couldn't think of anything else that would cause Mu Jinse such extreme suffering.
"Hongzhuang, if it is Gu poison, do you know how to cure it?" Situ Yan and the others' faces turned grim. Gu poison had disappeared from sight for many years, and most physicians had little understanding of it, with only a few scattered records in ancient texts.
It was nearly impossible to unravel the secrets of Gu poison based solely on those records.
Moreover, Bai Li Hongzhuang was still young and might not have any exposure to Gu poison.
Emperor Beichen's gaze focused on Bai Li Hongzhuang. He knew that she was special, but he didn't know if she had any knowledge in this area.
"Let me see what kind of Gu poison it is first," Bai Li Hongzhuang said, her gaze slightly deepening. She didn't say much more.
Even if it was Gu poison, there were many different types. In her previous life, she had learned to fear Gu poison.
The Witch Gu Clan had always been able to control others and cause their deaths without leaving a trace.
After her transmigration, Bai Li Hongzhuang learned that the Witch Gu Clan had been exterminated, so she never considered this possibility. She hadn't expected Yue Siqing to be capable of such a thing. She had underestimated her.
Bai Li Hongzhuang sat by Mu Jinse's side and carefully put away the silver needles.
At this moment, Mu Jinse had completely fallen into a coma and showed no signs of waking up anytime soon.
