Tilan frowned almost imperceptibly: "The environment here is terrible. Can't we go somewhere else?"

"Let's wait a bit, at least until we've thoroughly familiarized ourselves with the capital," the man said.

Tilan nodded: "Alright then, you guys tidy this place up properly, then rest for a bit and we'll go out and scout things out."

"Yes," replied several of Tilan's maids.

Tilan had already led the man who had just spoken inside.

The maid who was originally standing next to Tilan took out a bottle of medicine from her body, walked to the big man's side, and sprinkled the medicine directly on him.

Then, after a short while, the burly man's body began to corrode, turning into a pile of powder. The guard's eyes widened, and his expression became even more serious as he looked at the people in the courtyard.

Emperor Kangxi, far away in the palace, received a report from his secret guards. He frowned when he saw that the figure had not been discovered by them, but he was shocked when he saw that they used the powder to dissolve the person. The bone-dissolving powder had been lost for so long, and he had always thought it was just a legend. He never expected that it actually existed.

While Kangxi was still in shock, Yinreng rushed over.

"Father, Father, I have something important to say."

Kangxi looked up at Yinreng and scolded, "Walk slowly. Don't you know how old you are? You're behaving so improperly. You need to be mindful of your manners. You are the Crown Prince."

Yinreng rushed to Kangxi's side in a hurry, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead because he was so anxious.

Looking at Yinreng's appearance, Kangxi sighed helplessly and gestured for Liang Jiugong to get a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

Liang Jiugong quickly handed the handkerchief to Yinreng, and then, quite perceptively, poured him a glass of water.

Yinreng accepted the tea with a smile and drank it all in one gulp.

Looking at Yinreng's expression, Kangxi said, "Speak, what happened that made you so anxious?"

Upon hearing this, Yinreng quickly put down the cup. Fortunately, Kangxi and Liang Jiugong were still there. Kangxi waved his hand and dismissed everyone. Once everyone was clear, Yinreng spoke up: "Father, I was working at the Ministry of Revenue when I suddenly heard the Cat System issue a warning, saying that something threatening has appeared in the capital. However, it doesn't know what it is. I thought the Cat System was usually very calm, but this time it issued a warning directly, so it must be something very serious. Does Father know what it is?"

Kangxi frowned, looking at the contents in his hand. The system had issued a reminder, and at this time no less. Could it really be the same thing?

"Have you asked the system what it feels like?" Kangxi asked Yinreng.

Yinreng tilted his head back, still asking the system questions in his mind, his expression constantly changing. After a while, he finally spoke: "Father, I asked, and it said it wasn't very clear on the specifics, but it should be something very bad. This thing is also related to a system that they defected from before."

Kangxi's expression changed: "What defected system? Ask clearly what harm it poses and whether the Qing Dynasty is capable of handling it now."

While Kangxi was speaking, the system had already explained it to Yinreng. So as soon as Kangxi finished speaking, Yinreng could say, "Father, Maomao said that this system is actually not very harmful. When it first defected, it was captured and destroyed by their people. However, some parts were still left outside. The part that is outside now should be that part. We just need to find it and deal with it."

Kangxi snorted coldly: "It's easy to say. I don't even know what it is that's so simple. Besides, is it really that this thing has no harm to the body?"

Yinreng looked at Kangxi with a puzzled expression, wondering what was wrong with his father today.

Having had enough of his pent-up anger, Kangxi handed the object in his hand to Yinreng for him to see: "That object should be in their hands, but we don't know exactly what it is. Moreover, even the secret guards didn't detect it. Do you think it's not dangerous?"

As Yinreng read the contents, his eyes widened more and more.

His brows furrowed, and after a while he spoke, "Father, why don't you entrust this matter to your son?"

"No!" Before Yinreng could finish speaking, Kangxi refused outright. Was this some kind of good thing? This matter was so dangerous! Yinreng looked at the contents of the document, his eyes widening with each word.

His brows furrowed, and after a while he spoke, "Father, why don't you entrust this matter to your son?"

"No!" Before Yinreng could finish speaking, Kangxi refused outright. Was this some kind of good thing? This matter was so dangerous!
