Emperor Junlan felt somewhat helpless. "Then, Regent, may I know whether you prefer men or women?"

Murong Jin looked at Di Junlan, who had a serious expression on his face. His eyes were filled with solemnity, and the corners of his eyes were upturned. His voice was lazy and pleasant. "Man."

She's a woman, so what if she likes men?

Upon hearing this, Emperor Junlan immediately stood up, somewhat losing his composure.

man?

Doesn't that mean that if he keeps pestering her, he still has a chance to be liked by Murong Jin?

"Well, cough cough, can you tell me what kind of man you like, brother?"

Murong Jin looked at the young man and said, "He is mature and steady. I like him, and he only has me in his heart."

Emperor Junlan sat beside him and asked, "Then, brother, do you think I've matured a bit now?"

"No."

Di Junlan: "???"

(-???-???-???-???-???___-???-???-???-???-???)???????????

No, does that mean he's been completely dismissed?

Can't I just look at him a little longer?

"No, brother..."

“Your Highness…” A voice came from outside. Di Junlan stopped speaking and the two looked at the person who had entered the courtyard.

"This old servant greets Your Majesty and Your Highness." Then he looked at Murong Jin and said, "Your Highness, according to the latest investigation, someone is selling medicine in the night market."

Murong Jin asked in confusion, "Medicine? What medicine? Has it been found out?"

"They couldn't find anything wrong with it. The imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital came to examine it and all said there was no toxicity. But people who took this medicine became somewhat mentally unstable and lost their senses."

"Twelfth, he sent people to investigate. They heard that one of the ingredients in the medicine was a poisonous insect, but when tested separately, it showed no toxicity..."

Murong Jin looked puzzled. "Insects?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Murong Jin's voice was somewhat cold, "Bring the items over. I will personally inspect them. Also, arrange for all the victims to be together and have someone specially assigned to treat them."

"We will increase patrols both day and night, and arrest any suspicious persons immediately."

"yes!!"

After the steward left, Murong Jin looked at Yi Liu beside her and said, "Yi Liu, arrange for someone to also go and observe secretly."

"yes."

Emperor Junlan: "I will also arrange for people to accompany your men to investigate."

"No need, Your Majesty. I suspect it is a Gu worm. That thing can control a person's sanity and can even turn a person into a puppet."

"I intend to let the people of Yumen handle this matter. They are skilled in insect-based witchcraft. As for Your Majesty, I hope you will return to the palace immediately. If those around you are controlled by ill-intentioned individuals, it will be detrimental to you..."

Emperor Junlan looked puzzled. "You mean, these things are probably aimed at me?"

Murong Jin: "After all, His Majesty was assassinated in the palace last time, so it's not impossible that this wasn't part of their plan."

Emperor Junlan knew that Murong Jin was worried about him, and looked at the person in front of him, "I understand, but what about you, Regent?"

"I will naturally take charge of resolving this matter. Besides, there are people in the court who can assist me, so I have no worries."

Emperor Junlan looked at the calm-faced man and said, "Alright, but I have one request: whatever you do, remember to protect yourself."

Murong Jin smiled at him: "Okay."

As Emperor Junlan was about to turn and leave, he turned back to him and said, "Also, remember to come to the palace to see me."

Seeing the expectation in his eyes, Murong Jin finally agreed, "Okay."

After Emperor Junlan left, Twelve returned.

"Master, this is the medicine."

Murong Jin glanced at it, and then smelled it one last time. "There are poisonous herbs and insects inside, but other things have also been added. The toxicity is neutralized by the mixture, making it colorless and odorless, so no one can detect the toxicity."

However, it can slowly invade a person's brain.

The reason why the medicine is not very toxic is because the gu worm can lay eggs.

"Go to Yumen and find someone to handle this."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice came from outside, "Grandpa, what are you doing here?"

A familiar old man's voice rang out, "I've come to see my grandson-in-law."

"What grandson-in-law? You'd better hurry back to Yumen, otherwise there will be chaos without a head of the family."

Old man: "So, girl, you really have a boyfriend?"

"No, no."

The old man said, "Don't lie to your grandfather. Are you the commander of the Imperial Guard?"

Yu Jing'er's voice rang out in confusion and bewilderment: "Huh? No, Grandpa, how did you know? No, I haven't agreed to be with him yet, so I'm not your grandson-in-law."

Murong Jin put the things down. "There's no need to go to Yumen to look for people anymore. Someone experienced has come."

Jin nodded and immediately stood behind Murong Jin.

"The Regent!!!"

Hearing his granddaughter's fierce voice, especially since she was running forward and he couldn't catch her in time, the old man said, "No, you brat, show some respect to the Regent!"

He had witnessed Murong Jin's methods firsthand; so many people had been manipulated by him.

When the old man went inside, he saw his granddaughter fawning over Murong Jin.

"Your Highness, I'm back."

Murong Jin: "Is everything resolved?"

"It's solved, it's solved. A dog that can't be tamed needs to be slaughtered." Besides, it caused her and her sweetheart to misunderstand each other for so many years.

"However, now that you're back, I have something for you to do."

Yu Jing'er: "Good! I have fulfilled my mission!"

Murong Jin looked at her and said, "I need another drug investigator under my command. We have those with medical skills, but we're missing one with insect and gu techniques."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jing'er exclaimed, "Me! I can!!!"

Murong Jin: "Okay."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Yu exclaimed, "Wait a minute, how did my granddaughter suddenly become a government employee?"

"Greetings, Regent."

Murong Jin nodded slightly, "Mr. Yu, you're too kind. If there's anything I need in the future, I might need your assistance."

"Your Highness is too kind. As long as you ask, I will certainly not fail in my mission."

Moreover, they have some connections with the imperial court, so even those who are jealous of Yumen can be wary of them.

Although the Jade Gate sect practices insect-based witchcraft, they have never harmed innocent people. However, some people have spread rumors that they are practicing evil arts...

"However..." Looking at the relationship between his granddaughter and Murong Jin, he wondered if his granddaughter had taken a liking to Murong Jin.

Murong Jin is gay!! If she marries him, her granddaughter will only suffer!!

He did not agree to the marriage.

"Your relationship with this girl..."

Murong Jin hummed in agreement, "Since she has recognized me as her brother, then she is naturally my sister."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jing'er hugged Murong Jin's arm, "That's right, Grandpa, this is my sworn brother!"

Grandpa Yu was dumbfounded.

So, is it permissible for him to randomly claim relatives?

Since he is already the granddaughter's brother, can he be the regent's godfather?

However, seeing Murong Jin's cold gaze, he dared not try to establish a connection, so he decided to let this girl smooth things over...
