Xia Hongming immediately looked at Wu Ju and said in shock, “Master Wu Ju is leaving? Where are you going?”

Wu Ju looked outside and said slowly, “Back then, when my mother died, she was a demon who was about to attain the Dao. Now, she has become a blade for the Cloud Breaking Sect to use. She’s covered in b.l.o.o.d.y sins. I naturally have to save her.”

Xia Hongming knew that he could not keep Wu Ju. He asked, “Master Wu Ju, will you come back to the capital?”

Wu Ju looked at Xia Hongming. “Now that your wish has been fulfilled, what’s the point of keeping me? Besides, I’ve already made up my mind to leave.”

Xia Hongming Knew that he could not stop Wu Ju.

He said sincerely, “Then I wish you a safe journey and get what you want.”

Wu Ju smiled. “Thank you for your kind words, Third Prince.”

At the end of May, the Crown Prince was deposed.

Xia Hongming was the new crown prince, and Xian Fei was conferred the t.i.tle of n.o.ble Consort.

The weather was getting hot.

Su Yanyu left the mansion with a jar of worms and hugged it like it was a treasure. There was a smug smile on his face. This was his newly refined worm, the Ice Silkworm. He kept praising himself for being a genius.

Su Yanyu got into the carriage and instructed the coachman, “Go, go, go. If you can’t get there in time, I’ll teach you a lesson.”

The coachman knew that Su Yanyu was going to see Liu Sanniang to brag about his improvement again. He quickly pulled the reins. “Giddyup!”

As soon as the carriage left, a carriage stopped outside the Marquis Mansion. A masked woman got out of the carriage. She entered the Marquis Mansion with the help of a maidservant and asked the guard to report.

Mrs. Su quickly came out and invited her in. She looked at the carriage outside worriedly and asked in a low voice, “Consort Shu, should we invite the Second Prince into the mansion too?”

Consort Shu shook her head. “No need. I won’t stay for long.”

Mrs. Su already knew why Consort Shu was here. She said, “Your Highness, my son is a disciple of Miss Liu. Miss Liu is kind-hearted. She will definitely help treat your son if she can.”

Consort Shu looked at Mrs. Su and said, “Is Young Marquis in the mansion?”

Mrs. Su knew what Consort Shu meant. She said, “He just went to see Miss Liu.”

Consort Shu looked at Mrs. Su and reached out to hold her hand. She said with a trembling voice, “Mrs. Su, you know what I’m worried about, right? Can you go with me? I don’t want anything. I just want my son to stay a bit longer in this world.”

In the past, Xia Hongjin’s illness was treated by an imperial physician, but after the fake empress was gone, that imperial physician changed completely. Now that he was dead, Xia Hongjin’s illness began to worsen.

As Xia Hongjin’s mother, how could Consort Shu sit back and do nothing?

She only hoped that her son could live.

Mrs. Su sighed. “Consort Shu, I understand. Let’s go. I’ll go with you.”

In the Xia Dynasty, the only prince who really wanted to fight for the throne was the Third Prince, Xia Hongming. Xian Fei was a smart woman. She knew that she was in a dangerous situation and protected her son well.

The Fifth Prince was not intelligent.

The Fourth Prince’s whereabouts were unknown.

The Second Prince was seriously ill, and there were two other princes who were only three and four years old.

Now that Mrs. Su thought about it, there were too few descendants of the Xia Dynasty’s royal family.

It was not a good thing.

Consort Shu was extremely happy. She smiled gratefully at Mrs. Su.

After getting into the carriage, Mrs. Su saw the Second Prince, Xia Hongjin, who was still wearing his winter clothes. He was wearing a fox fur coat and his face was pale. When he saw Mrs. Su, he nodded slightly.

Consort Shu instructed the coachman to go straight to Liu Sanniang.

Her son’s illness could not be delayed any longer.

Su Yanyu entered the courtyard and took out the jar of Icy Silkworm for Liu Sanniang to see. “s.h.i.+fu, look at the worms. It’s extremely cold. If you put one or two in the house, Summer will feel like spring.”

The Ice Silkworm was transparent and had frost on its body. When one approached it, they would feel cold.

Su Yanyu refined four worms. Liu Sanniang took a look and found that they were indeed extremely good. “Your Lords.h.i.+p is extremely talented. You can refine the Ice Silkworm in just a few months. It’s very impressive.”

Su Yanyu was overjoyed. “s.h.i.+fu, you taught me well. In a few years, I’ll know everything.”

It was not necessarily a dream for him to refine those legendary worms. As long as he had this dream, it might come true one day.

Su Yanyu looked at Liu Sanniang and saw that her complexion had become healthy. He looked at the Ice Silkworm in the jar and said, “s.h.i.+fu, don’t you like to drink iced plum juice? Put an Ice Silkworm in it. It can cool the juice down.” Liu Sanniang chuckled. “Sure.”

Liu Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Su Yanyu.

When Hu Yu returned from outside, she heard the word “cool”. She was excited. “Young Marquis, did you refine a new worm? Let me try it. It’s so hot.”

Hu Yu grabbed an Ice Silkworm and ate it. She smacked her lips. “It’s really effective. I don’t feel hot anymore. Make some more next time. It’s very useful.” Su Yanyu felt sad that the worm he had painstakingly refined was eaten like that. He said hesitantly, “My worms might be poisonous. Miss Hu, it’s best if you eat less.”

Hu Yu glanced at Su Yanyu. “Poisonous? How dare you give poisonous worms to me?”

Su Yanyu was speechless. He naturally wouldn’t dare…

If he was that bold, he would have died countless times.

Hu Yu grabbed another one and asked Liu Yuanyuan, “Do you want it or not? It’s as cooling as chewing ice. The only downside is that it doesn’t taste like anything. Speaking of which, it’s actually a little disgusting. After all, it’s a worm.”

Liu Yuanyuan said in disdain, “Eat it yourself. I don’t need it.”

Seeing that Hu Yu was about to finish all the worms, Su Yanyu was a little anxious. “Miss Hu, this is used to cool down the house. Put it in the courtyard. It’ll cool down the entire courtyard, so you won’t feel hot in summer.”

Hu Yu thought for a moment. “Then I’ll spare their lives.”

The weather was hot, so it was uncomfortable wherever she slept. Having such a thing could save a lot of trouble.

Seeing that she had put the worm back in the jar, Su Yanyu added, “The lifespan of the Ice Silkworm is three months. When it turns into water in three months, the weather will no longer be hot. It’s just right.”

Hu Yu turned around and asked Liu Sanniang, “Venerable Liu, where should I put this worm?”

Liu Sanniang smiled and said, “Put it wherever you want. Chu Yan and I don’t feel hot..”
