"Go light it up and put it next to the Second Master's bed."
Xia Heng didn't ask any more questions. He picked up the incense like an arrow and lit it, then inserted it steadily into the incense burner and gently placed it on the head of Jiang Zhixu's bed.
Everyone was extremely anxious, waiting anxiously like ants on a hot pan. Jin Linlin was especially so. Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. She was afraid that she would be helpless against Jiang Zhixu's poison. This was also the first time she had used this incense, and her hands trembled as she wiped the blood off Jiang Zhixu.
Not long after, the blood from the corners of Jiang Zhixu's mouth and nose stopped flowing. Gradually, a poisonous insect the size of a fingernail appeared on Jiang Zhixu's forehead. It was like an ugly little snake, slowly wriggling under his skin. As it walked, it escaped from Jiang Zhixu's ear.
The insect's appearance was hideous and terrifying, sending chills down everyone's spines. Everyone gasped in shock, as if struck by a biting cold wind. Jin Linlin suppressed her fear and, as if facing a formidable enemy, quickly produced a specially crafted vial, signaling Xia Heng to capture the insect.

Jiang Zhixu said with difficulty: "I was in the palace...it seems that someone was assassinating me..." Jin Linlin's heart tightened, as if she fell into an ice cellar. It seemed that this matter must be related to the palace struggle.
