At this time, the woman in white rushed in angrily: "Brother Chang'an, didn't I tell you that you must keep the Qionghua for me? Why did you burn it?"

Xie Changan said calmly: "I found a poisonous insect inside last night, so I had to burn it."

"Insect?" The woman in white said incredulously, "How do you know there is an insect inside? Did you see a small bug and think it was an insect?"

"We have ways to confirm it."

Xie Changan didn't want to say more. He lowered his eyes and looked at the document in his hand.

"Brother Chang'an!" The woman in white stomped her feet and said angrily.

"Junior sister, don't be rude!" the man in green said gently.

He is the helper that Xie Changan has been waiting for for many days, the eldest disciple of Ghost Doctor Valley, Shen Muchun.

The woman in white is named Chu Feixue, the only beloved daughter of Valley Master Chu Linfeng.

Xie Changan was seriously injured three years ago and was sent to the Ghost Doctor Valley for treatment by Liao Wuyong. As a result, he has some friendship with the people in the Ghost Doctor Valley.

Not long ago, Xie Changan sent a letter to Ghost Doctor Valley for help regarding the poison.

As the eldest disciple of Ghost Doctor Valley, Shen Muchun was naturally very interested in the Miaojiang poison. After learning about this, he took the initiative to follow his master's orders and assist Xie Changan.

Chu Feixue has admired Xie Changan for a long time and insisted on coming with him, so Shen Muchun had to agree.

He could see clearly that the goddess had the intention, but the Prince of Xiang had no intention. Xie Chang'an had always been known as the "eunuch", and it was obvious that he wanted to inherit Liao Wuyong's position and be in charge of the East Factory. He had no intention of starting a family at all.

Junior sister's efforts were ultimately in vain.

As soon as Shen Muchun arrived in the capital, Xie Changan sent someone to send him to the charity cemetery to check on the deceased in the Cuixiang Pavilion case.

There were ten bodies in total, including the three members of Manager Yang's family, the palace maid who did the rough work, and the palace maid and eunuch who later vomited blood and died during the interrogation.

At this moment, Shen Muchun had just returned from the charity cemetery. He learned that the poisonous insect in the magnolia had been burned. He was sighing and wondering why he didn't come back earlier so that he could grab a poisonous insect.

Chu Feixue rushed in angrily and demanded to know the culprit.

"Who on earth is so smart as to say that this flower has poisonous insects?"

After she followed Shen Muchun to the East Factory, she could tell at a glance that these rare flowers were the long-lost "Qiong flowers". When the Qionghua flowers appeared, they bloomed like snow, magnificent and beautiful.

Chu Feixue begged Xie Changan to keep these flowers for her, wanting to take them back to Ghost Doctor Valley to plant them.

Xie Changan didn't mind at all, as long as the flower was useless, he could give it to anyone.

She thought that this was a gift from Xie Changan to her, but she didn't expect it to turn into ashes!

Xie Changan didn't want to waste time talking to her, so he turned to Shen Muchun and asked, "Brother Shen, can you tell what kind of poison those ten corpses were in?"

"I was just about to tell Brother Xie about this." Shen Muchun said seriously, "There is a strange grass in Southern Xinjiang, called 'Dancing Grass'. It understands the rhythm of music and will dance to the sound of people's singing. The Southern Yi Kingdom regards it as a sacred grass."

"I actually found the toxin of 'Dancing Grass' in those ten corpses!"

Xie Changan frowned, "Sure enough, it's related to the Nanyi Kingdom! Is the 'Dancing Grass' highly poisonous?"

"The poison of 'Dancing Grass' is very mild. If a person accidentally ingests it, he or she will start to dance like the 'Dancing Grass'. After one stick of incense, the poison will be eliminated. However, if this grass is mixed with tonic medicine, it will become extremely poisonous."

"Those ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum..." Xie Changan suddenly realized.

"Yes, I heard from Brother Xie that ginseng and ganoderma lucidum and other tonics were found in Madam Gong's room and in Cuixiang Pavilion. Then I suddenly realized that they were using this herb and ginseng and ganoderma lucidum to cultivate young Gu."

Shen Muchun analyzed slowly, "That Madam Gong should be the owner of the mother Gu. When she sensed danger, she ordered the child Gu to self-destruct, and the person with the child Gu in his body would die on the spot from the poison."

Xie Changan was immediately shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. If the evil plan of "Madame Gong" had succeeded that day, and if Jiang Li had planted the seed poison in the emperor's heart and used the emperor to control the princes, wouldn't she be able to control the Great Chu in her hands?

"Is there an antidote?"

Shen Muchun shook his head: "The Miaojiang Gu poison is ever-changing. The mixture of dancing grass and tonic medicine is just one of the most poisonous. Brother Xie, do you know what 'Gu' is?"

Xie Changan said: "I heard that they put several poisonous creatures together and let them eat and kill each other. In the end, the only poisonous creature that survived was the 'gu'."

"That's right. There are many types of Gu. Only those who raise Gu know what kind of poisons are used to cultivate them and what kind of poisons are used to feed them. How can there be an antidote?" Shen Muchun spread his hands.

So, what can be confirmed at present is that "Madame Gong" is indeed related to Miaojiang and Nanyi Kingdom. Xie Changan thought silently.

Shen Muchun added: "I heard that the cosmetics from Cuixiang Pavilion contain banned drugs. Brother Xie, do you have any samples?"

He was also quite interested in the various "banned drugs".

Xie Changan said: "The cosmetics of Cuixiang Pavilion are currently sealed in the Imperial Hospital and cannot be taken out. I am writing this letter and ask Brother Shen to go to the Imperial Hospital and help the imperial physician to examine the ingredients."

Shen Muchun smiled and said, "Brother Xie, you are welcome. Even if you don't tell me, I would also like to see if there is any Miaojiang poison in it."

Xie Changan thought of the medicinal bath recipe that Jiang Li wanted, so he took out the list and said, "Brother Shen, can you please take a look at these herbs? Is it possible to find them?"

Shen Muchun took it and looked at it: "Tendon-shaping vine, bone-penetrating grass, blood marrow branch, scorpion tail flower? Bone-penetrating grass is common, but the other herbs are rare. I'll send a letter back to ask Master."

Xie Changan smiled slightly: "In that case, I'll trouble you, Valley Master and Brother Shen."

Chu Feixue had been sitting next to Shen Muchun, quietly sizing up Xie Changan. The more she looked, the more impressed she became. Compared to three years ago, he was more mature and more manly.

When he heard that his sweetheart was looking for medicine, he hurriedly snatched the list from his senior brother's hand, took a look at it, and couldn't help but sneered.

"Who came up with this recipe? The medicinal properties of the tendon-molding vine and blood marrow branch are so strong. Mixing them together and taking them, is this a way to kill yourself?"

Xie Changan raised his eyes: "How about using it as a medicinal bath?"

Shen Muchun said: "It is so painful to temper the skin and reshape the bones. Only those with strong will can endure it. Brother Xie, are you planning to use it yourself?"

Xie Changan frowned: "A friend asked me to do this."

Shen Muchun took the list back from Chu Feixue: "Let me look for it first. It is indeed a good recipe for body training, but the process is too painful. Brother Xie, can you tell your friend not to try it unless it is necessary."

Xie Changan cupped his hands and thanked him, "Thank you for your help."

Shen Muchun took Xie Changan's warrant and was about to go to the Imperial Hospital. Seeing Chu Feixue still sitting in the chair motionless, he said, "Junior sister, won't you come with me?"

Chu Feixue smiled sweetly: "I haven't seen Brother Changan for many years. I want to talk to him for a while. Please feel free to do as you please, Senior Brother."

Xie Changan was slightly impatient: "Sorry, I also need to go to the Imperial Household Department, so I just happened to go with Brother Shen."

Chu Feixue had no choice but to go out with the two of them.

She wanted to say a few more words to Xie Changan on the way, but as soon as he left the house, the factory guards came over with horses.

Xie Changan got on his horse and said, "Brother Shen, please wait a moment. I have arranged a carriage to take you to the Imperial Hospital. I have official business to attend to, so I will go ahead."

After saying this, he whipped his horse and galloped away.

Seeing how he was trying to avoid her, Chu Feixue felt so angry that she almost cried.

Shen Muchun sighed: "Why bother? You know he..."

"Brother, please stop talking. I have made up my mind. He is the only one I can have in my life!" Chu Feixue walked away unhappily.
