The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

As the crowd walked past the Grand Counselor, countless eyes swept over him hurriedly, as if they were watching a show, but no one dared to stay for long and quickened their pace to leave the side hall.

After leaving the side hall, the biting cold air penetrated their noses and everyone slowed down their pace.

Fan Jiang didn't want to waste any more time talking to this fool. He wanted to leave when he saw the clerk stopping the man, but when he looked over, he met Eunuch Ping'an's gaze, which made him stop in his tracks.

After most of the ministers in the side hall had left, Ping An walked towards Fan Jiang.

"Your Majesty has decreed that the Imperial Counselor is suspected of colluding with the Northern Territory. Lord Fan, please bring him back to the Dali Temple for a thorough interrogation."

Upon hearing this, those who had not yet left turned their heads to look over here. The Counselor immediately became agitated when he heard this. Just as he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, someone covered his mouth and no matter how he struggled, it was useless.

After years of working in the officialdom, everyone had their own guesses when they heard the words "collusion with the Northern Territory". They also knew what was happening in Beihai Garden, so they quickened their pace and left the place as if it was nothing important.

Fan Jiang looked at the censor who was being escorted by the guards with a flushed face, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

Just as one was sent away, another one came. I was already busy before the New Year.

"Yes, I accept the order."

Your Majesty has already defined this person as colluding with the Northern Territory, so there is no way he can leave the Dali Temple alive. Fan Jiang knew this, and after taking his men out of the palace, he went straight to the Dali Temple.

The puppy who witnessed the whole process finished the food in the bowl and let go of his grandfather's feet. He had just heard his mother mutter about his grandfather a few days ago and wanted to drag his grandfather back to talk to his mother.

The system thought this in its mind and had already dialed the call with the host, telling him all its needs in a burst of words.

Liang Chongyue was still handling government affairs. After listening, he hummed and hung up the phone, then slowly said:

"Minglang should still be practicing martial arts at this hour."

Yun Ling, who was standing by, heard this and glanced at the incense burner with smoke rising from it.

"Your Majesty, the little prince still has half an hour to go before the end."

"Go see if Duke Dingguo has left. If not, take him to see how Minglang is doing and see if there is anything that needs improvement."

A Zheng taught Ming Lang martial arts in the palace and often left after having meals there.

"Yes, slave, go right away."

After Yun Ling left, Liang Chongyue continued to be busy. A dark shadow fell, and Liang Chongyue remembered that there was another person in the side hall of the Yangxin Palace.

"How did last night go?"

Fei He saw His Majesty busy and stepped forward to grind ink for His Majesty:

"Master Lianchi has already cleared out all the poison in the post station. The envoys from the Northern Territory and Dai Viet have all been poisoned. The antidote Master Lianchi gave is only enough for the Dai Viet envoys. The people from the Northern Territory envoys haven't woken up yet."

Liang Chongyue didn't stop even after hearing this.

"It's okay, just die."

These people were going to die anyway. If they didn't die today, they wouldn't live until summer. It was just a matter of time.

"What about the poisons?"

Liang Chongyue was still more concerned about the poisonous creatures coming from the northern border. She had seen what those creatures were capable of.

Fei He recalled the scene he saw last night:

"He is still with Master Lianchi, and most of him has been liberated."

If the little snake still has an appetite, that bag might not be enough for it.

"Transcendence?"

Liang Chongyue was puzzled. How could Lian Chi be so kind? Didn't he hate the Northern Territory to the core?

Fei He told His Majesty what he saw last night. After listening, Liang Chongyue fell into a brief silence.

"Forget it, kid, let him eat if he likes. Go get Lianchi and bring him the bag of poison if he still has it."

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, she continued to get busy. After watching for a long time, her eyes felt tired.

Lian Chi had changed back into his usual robes and walked in carrying a sack of extremely fishy smell. The little snake lying on his body stared at the sack with its eyes wide open, and it looked like it had not eaten enough.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

Lian Chi's voice appeared, accompanied by a fishy smell. Liang Chongyue subconsciously raised his hand to cover his nose.

"Get up and answer. Are all the poisonous creatures in this bag dead?"

Liang Chongyue put down his pen and looked towards the lotus pond. Even with his slender fingers under his nose, he couldn't block out the stench that was coming towards him.

"No, there's a baby Gu inside this poisonous creature. If it's been away from its mother Gu for too long, it will become restless and fight with the poisonous insects inside the sack. The poisonous insects that haven't been poisoned by it won't be able to kill it, so they'll be bitten to death. It's normal for it to stink."

As Lian Chi spoke, Liang Chongyue felt as if the little snake was staring at the bag of poisonous creatures that were neither alive nor dead, and his saliva was about to flow down his robes and fall to the ground.

"Where is the mother Gu?"

"Of course, it's on the people from the Northern Territory delegation. This kind of insect is even harder to raise once it reaches adulthood. It needs the heart blood of an adult man to nourish it and grow slowly. It can only be inserted once, and once it's removed, it will die quickly."

Lianchi grew up in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave in the northern border, and was very familiar with these poisonous insects. Naturally, he guessed about 80% of the northern border's plan this time.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Northern Territory delegation wants to take advantage of the occasion of the international celebrations to strike. It may not be aimed at Your Majesty, but could be another country's delegation."

After Lian Chi finished speaking, he carefully explained the special habits of this insect.

"This Gu worm is considered a relatively special one in the Northern Territory. Its offspring are over a hundred times more powerful than its mother. Those who enter the mother Gu will attract the offspring, but they cannot control them. The offspring will absorb essence and blood. Humans and beasts have a limited amount of essence and blood. Once it is completely absorbed, the victim will die of old age within three days. The offspring will then need to find a new host, or else they will violently die. The more essence and blood a offspring absorbs before death, the more poisonous its blood will be after death. The blood of a offspring that lives for twenty years can rank among the top three strange poisons."

When Lian Chi said this, there was still movement in the sack. It seemed that the child Gu who was named was not giving up yet.

"The poisonous creatures in this sack are all small animals. They can't withstand the sucking of the Zi Gu for even a moment. The Zi Gu is already starving."

The noise inside the sack became louder and louder, and from time to time there were roars like those of wild beasts.

"Judging from the sound, this Gu has previously sucked the blood of many ferocious beasts."

Lian Chi's voice was full of admiration for the young Gu. Liang Chongyue felt that if the mother Gu could enter only once in its lifetime, Lian Chi might have found a new host for it.

"This child Gu is so ferocious, I will reward you. After you die, I will give you half of your poisonous blood."

There are countless poisons in the system mall, I wonder if there is any that is this poisonous.

"Your Majesty, this insect is not even as long as my little finger. Even if it attacks me, it can only extract a few drops of poisonous blood."

Liang Chongyue thought Lian Chi didn't want to give it to Ke Xin, but then he heard the following words:

"When it dies, I will send all of them to Your Majesty."
