Chu Yanchen held Song Mingli's hand, his eyes gentle yet firm.

"Although Jingyou is young, he is smart and calm. And there is also Nanxing, the little disciple..." And the Dragon Shadow Guards are protecting him secretly.

Chu Yanchen didn't say it explicitly, but he paused slightly and looked at Song Mingli deeply.

Song Mingli understood instantly.

"He'll be fine, don't worry."

Song Mingli nodded. He understood the truth. The child would have to live his life on his own.

His parents can only accompany him for a short period of time, and the best love his parents can give him is to cultivate his ability to face life independently.

Chu Yanchen asked Song Mingli to return home, and he went to the Ministry of War to hand over the power affairs in his hands.

From then on, Prince Jing was just an idle prince in the capital.

Once a tiger’s teeth are pulled out, it will no longer be able to bite people. Perhaps the prince will not be so afraid of Prince Jing?

Song Mingli returned home feeling uneasy. She found Jingyou's favorite calligraphy copybook and began to practice calligraphy.

When my father was alive, he often said that writing can calm one’s mind.

Jingyou is a child who can always calm down and practice calligraphy no matter what happens. Song Mingli thinks that she has lived two lives, so she can't be worse than a child, right?

Sure enough, as she read these words over and over again, her restless heart slowly calmed down.

When a person calms down, his mind becomes particularly clear.

Just as she was getting into the mood, someone suddenly knocked on the window frame in front of her desk.

Song Mingli looked up and saw no one outside the window, but he saw a pink porcelain bone plate on the windowsill in front of him. On the plate were several delicate and beautiful flower-shaped snacks.

Song Mingli leaned over and looked out the window, but saw no one.

She picked up the pink porcelain bone plate, and a sweet osmanthus fragrance wafted from the dessert.

There was a note under the plate.

Song Mingli picked up the note and looked at it, his face changed slightly.

"Someone, please ask Nanxing to come over, quickly." Song Mingli ordered outside.

The maid hurried away.

The note read, "These are snacks given by the Eastern Palace to the Crown Prince. I am doubtful and unsure, so please ask the Master to identify them."

Seeing this plate of dim sum that might have problems, Song Mingli's heart calmed down instead.

One reason is that Nanxing's little apprentice was cautious enough to spot the problem and she did not take it lightly, but sent it back to Nanxing to see.

Secondly, the Dragon Shadow Guard was so powerful that he was able to steal the snacks from the East Palace without being discovered.

Nanxing came quickly, and Song Mingli explained the purpose of calling her.

Nanxing walked forward, crushed a piece of dessert, twisted it with her fingertips, put it to her nose and sniffed it, her brows slightly frowned.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Song Mingli didn't ask in a hurry, but just looked at her quietly.

Nanxing took another bite and spat it out.

Song Mingli's heart sank suddenly. There was indeed a problem.

But Nanxing still didn't say anything. She opened her medicine box, took out a few things from it, dropped them on the snack, stared at the snack carefully, and smelled the changes in the smell of the snack.

Song Mingli looked at her strange movements and became more and more confused.

What kind of poison is this? Even Nanxing can't identify it?

"It is poisonous and will dissipate in seven days. This poison will lie dormant in the human body and there will be no symptoms on weekdays. But when the moon is full, you must take the antidote."

"If you delay taking the medicine, you will feel severe pain all over your body. If you delay for more than seven days, you will die from the severe pain."

really!

Song Mingli secretly clenched his fists, doing exactly the same thing as what Long Yingwei said yesterday.

But Dragon Shadow Guard said that the prince did not agree to Cheng Li’s proposal, so... this snack was Cheng Li’s own idea?

Or has the prince changed his mind again?

"But the most troublesome thing is not this poison." Nan Xing frowned and said, "I can cure the poison of Qi Ri San."

From the way Nanxing spoke, it seemed that Qi Ri San was not a serious poison.

"What's more troublesome is that there is a symbiotic Gu on this snack." Nan Xing frowned, "I have only seen this kind of Gu in the rare medical book that the princess found for me."

"The neutron Gu will suffer a hundred times the pain of the mother Gu host. If the mother Gu host dies, the neutron Gu will die."

Upon hearing this, Song Mingli immediately took a step back and moved away from the snack.

"There is such a Gu in the world? But... why should we use this Gu to deal with Jingyou?" Song Mingli was puzzled when he heard this.

Does the prince know about this Gu?

If the Crown Prince is already so wary of Jingyou, wouldn't Prince Jing's Mansion be lying on someone else's chopping block if they gave in?

Nan Xing saw that she looked unhappy, and quickly explained, "Princess, don't panic. This poisonous insect must be taken orally to enter the body."

"If I'm poisoned by this poison, is there a cure?" Song Mingli asked.

Nan Xing held his chin and thought for a while, "There are two solutions. One is to draw out the sub-gu, and the other is to kill the sub-gu directly."

"To draw out the child Gu, you need the mother Gu, and you can only draw it out by manipulating the mother Gu. If you kill the child Gu directly, it will cause certain damage to the body of the child Gu's owner."

"Because Gu is cultivated with various strange poisons, if the child Gu dies directly in the body, it will release a large amount of toxins. In serious cases, it may be fatal."

Song Mingli pondered for a moment, "In that case, it would be best if we could find the person who put the poison on us."

"If you saw the host of the mother Gu, could you identify it?"

Song Mingli suddenly looked up and stared at Nanxing with burning eyes.

Nan Xing frowned and thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "I'm not sure. Unless he controls the mother Gu, the mother and child Gu are both dormant, so I can't tell."

Song Mingli frowned and nodded slightly, "Then... let's give it a try."

"Zi Su, ask the kitchen to make the same desserts as this one. I'm going to the East Palace to visit the Crown Princess and Jing You." Song Mingli ordered.

Shiso comes to serve the dessert.

Nan Xing instructed, "Be careful, don't eat it. The sub-Gu is temporarily 'drunk' and there's no telling when it will wake up. Keep it for me, I need to study it carefully."

When Zi Su heard this, her hands shook and she almost dropped the plate of snacks.

Nan Xing stared at Song Mingli and said, "Princess, can you take me with you when you go to the East Palace? I want to meet the person who cast the curse."

Song Mingli nodded. Of course she would take Nanxing with her, and she would also ask Nanxing to give Jingyou a thorough check-up!

After the snacks were ready, Song Mingli went to the East Palace.

Because Jingyou saved Chu Xiyuan, Chu Xiyuan often praised Jingyou in front of the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess had long wanted to meet Song Mingli.

She also prepared a reward for Jingyou and was planning to send it to Prince Jing's Mansion. Just then, the person arrived, so she invited him into the East Palace.

The Crown Princess is older than Song Mingli. She is not very pretty, but she is dignified and generous, and looks kind and generous.

She was also very polite to Song Mingli, and the two of them exchanged pleasantries.

Song Mingli smiled and said, "I wonder if I can take a look at where the Crown Prince and Jingyou are studying?"

"Why not? Actually, I am being rude. I should have invited you and your wife to come earlier."

"Jingyou is the only son of Prince Jing's Mansion. You will feel more at ease if you come to see where he studies."

The Crown Princess immediately took Song Mingli to Wenhua Palace.

When they arrived, it happened to be the time for the two of them to rest.

Donggong had prepared a plate of snacks and fruits and was about to serve it.
