Qin Yuanhao held the candle next to the insect. The insect seemed to be in hibernation and did not move at all. He only discovered it after getting closer.
The Gu worm itself is transparent, and the red color they see is the blood inside the Gu worm, which is probably the blood of other Gu worms and His Majesty Sang.
"Father, this insect seems to be afraid of fire. When your candle got closer, it retreated a little."
Qin Yuanhao nodded, looked at the insect, and had a plan in mind.
"Your Majesty, this poisonous insect looks very strange. I will go back to Yonghua Palace and find a small jade box to put it in. This box with a mechanism is no longer useful." Concubine Chen took out a small object from her pocket and shook it casually, and it turned into a square lid.
She happened to have covered the poisonous insect inside, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Is this poisonous insect like this? I'm afraid it's hibernating. I wonder if the thief's entry into the palace is related to this poisonous insect."
Qin Jinlin received a hint from his mother and stepped forward to ask, "Could it be that the thief wants to see if this insect actually works?"
"Then the person we should look for most is my second brother. After all, the poisonous insect was delivered by my second brother. I saw my second brother went to Concubine Jin. Did the thief also go there?" Qin Jinlin thought of his second brother who had hurried to Concubine Jin before.
[Ding, limited-time mission: Find the thief who infiltrated the palace and resolve the Laba crisis. Current progress is 20%. I have found one of the thief's purposes for entering the palace. Determine whether Emperor Qin Yuanhao has been poisoned. Current countdown is 20 hours.]
When Qin Zhenzhen saw the message from the system, she moved in Qin Yuanhao's arms.
[This is just one of the thieves' goals. It seems they have further plans.]
There are also follow-up preparations. Qin Yuanhao thought for a while, "Since these thieves are coming for me, then we must naturally satisfy their wishes."
Qin Yuanhao looked at the Gu worm in front of him and continued, "Zhou Mian, pass it down. I went to bed without dinner today. Spread it to all the palaces."
"Since this Gu insect is so rare, it certainly can't be wasted. Doctor Zhen, remember to return to the capital. Find him and let me study him thoroughly."
[Dr. Zhen is coming, and my future uncle will know if he can do it.]
Future uncle-in-law?
Qin Yuanhao instantly shook off his previous nervousness.
Doctor Zhen has already confronted the young lady of the Yang family?
It's outrageous that he was completely unaware of such important news.
Concubine Chen had been studying the mechanism box from a while ago, and by the time Qin Yuanhao finished speaking, she had just finished her study.
"Your Majesty, I think I should be able to reproduce this mechanism box and restore the mechanism inside."
Qin Yuanhao suddenly turned around and looked at Concubine Chen, and the surprise in his eyes could not be hidden.
"Concubine Chen, you have given me so many surprises. Can you complete them before the Emperor of Sang passes away?"
Qin Yuanhao saw Concubine Chen nod, and clapped his hands and said, "Oh, right, take that emerald green brocade."
"I will personally hand it over to Sang Zhen, the Emperor of Sang."
Just at this time, An Yi also came back with news.
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince did go to see Concubine Jin, but it seems they had an argument. In the end, Concubine Jin had a headache, so the Second Prince left."
"According to my subordinates, after the Second Prince left, he hurried back to his palace and tightly closed the doors and windows."
"I just don't know if the Second Prince will join forces with them."
[No, the Second Prince won't do that. He swore an oath before me.]
[Because this is a time-limited mission, I'm not allowed to watch the live broadcast. Now I can't see what my second brother is doing?]
【But I can be sure that I didn't feel that he broke his oath. There must be something fishy going on.】
[This system is broken. It said it wouldn't give any prompts, but it actually didn't.]
An Yi was about to say something, but Qin Yuanhao interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"An Yi, send people to guard the palace. This person will definitely leave the palace tonight. She has important matters to report back."
"Send another person to the post station to guard the area near Sang State. Remember not to alert the enemy."
"Concubine Chen, please take the little princess back first. I will take a look at those books."
Seeing that His Majesty had already made up his mind, Concubine Chen took Qin Jinlin and the little princess back to Yonghua Palace.
Let Qin Jinlin rest in the side hall of Yonghua Palace.

The night is deep.
Jin Gui looked at a mandarin duck totem on the table, tears falling on his handkerchief.
"How dare he? How dare he threaten me with his own son?"
"That's his son!"
"Even if I love you, you absolutely shouldn't threaten me with my son. How can I care whether I return to Sang Country or not?"
"You and my father were so cruel to send me into this golden cage. Have you ever considered my feelings?"
Concubine Jin looked at the needle hole on her hand with mockery.
She practiced dancing day and night and helped the queen with embroidery, so her hands were no longer as strong as before.
Ever since His Majesty changed the so-called opera into a sacrificial dance to worship heaven, she had not slept well for nearly a month.
Let her, a Sang people, perform a sacrificial dance and pray to heaven for the continuation of the Qin Dynasty, the prosperity of the royal family, and the peace and prosperity of the people.
This was worse than insulting her.
As if she had cried herself to death, Concubine Jin raised her head, looked at the full moon outside the window, and made up her mind.
"No one, not even his biological father, can stand in the way of my son becoming emperor."
"Since you force me like this, I can only do what I want. I hope my son will understand my painstaking efforts when he returns."
