Xue Youli looked at the last line of big words on the Book of Heavenly Secrets and was shocked. She lost her grip on the amber pendant and it slipped from her fingertips.

She didn't intend to destroy the blood amber in this way.

After all, if the blood amber is broken, the poisonous insect sealed inside will wake up early!

She didn't have much knowledge about the field of poisonous insects, and it would be extremely dangerous to release the puppet insect before she had a thorough understanding of it.

Xue Youli's face changed and she reached out to grab the falling pendant, but unfortunately she missed it.

The pendant was about to fall to the ground.

It's too late, it's faster than that!

Chu Xinyue just raised her toes and passed through the rope tied to the pendant.

She raised her leg high and handsomely rescued the blood amber pendant.

Xue Youli looked at the pendant hanging on her ankle and breathed a sigh of relief. "I was so scared! Fortunately, it didn't break!"

Chu Xinyue took off the pendant and teased with a smile, "It's just a piece of blood amber. It doesn't matter if it breaks. At most you can just compensate me with a few more pieces. It's not like you, the dignified Concubine Xue, can't afford to break it!"

Xue Youli replied, "Compensation is a small matter. I'm worried that the blood amber might be damaged and the poisonous insect inside might escape."

"What kind of insect?"

Chu Xinyue turned the pendant over and over again, "Isn't this just an ordinary pendant?"

Xue Youli walked up to her and pointed at the black spot in the amber, "This is the Gu worm."

"Oh my god!"

This time, it was Chu Xinyue's turn to throw the blood amber in her hand.

Fortunately, Xue Youli was prepared and caught the blood amber that was thrown into the air.

"Don't worry, the insect is sealed in the blood amber. As long as you don't break the blood amber, it will be fine."

Chu Xinyue felt her scalp tingle just by looking at the poisonous insect in the blood amber. "How could there be such a terrifying thing in the pendant that Murong Nan always wears?"

Xue Youli replied, "This is a wedding gift from Murong Ye to your Prince Kang. It seems he has given up on winning over Murong Nan."

In the original plot of the novel, Princess Qinghe and Murong Nan did not get married, so naturally there was no scene of sending a congratulatory gift.

If the blood amber had been well preserved, the poisonous insect sealed in it would not have been able to wake up, and his plan to kill Murong Nan would have failed.

Chu Xinyue was puzzled. "If Murong Ye wanted to kill Murong Nan, why would he go to all the trouble of getting a poisonous insect? Wouldn't it be easier to just send an assassin?"

"Not necessarily. Sending assassins also carries risks. If the assassination fails, following the clues could expose him."

Xue Youli frowned and thought for a moment, then continued, "As long as Murong Ye makes sure Murong Nan wears the blood amber, he can find a chance to break it. Once Murong Nan falls victim to it, he will become his puppet. Once the puppet poison devours his brain, he will surely die!"

Chu Xinyue glanced at the blood amber in her hand, and suddenly a thought flashed through her mind. "Next month, General Yu, who is stationed in the southern border, will return to the capital. In addition to more than ten generals, he will also bring with him the princess of Nanzhao. They want to take this opportunity to form a marriage alliance with Jiuzhou and reach peace talks. Could it be that Murong Ye wants to kill Murong Nan during the autumn hunt and then put the blame on Nanzhao?"

If the Empress Dowager's most beloved youngest son, the Emperor's younger brother, died at the hands of a poisonous insect, Jiuzhou would definitely send troops to attack Nanzhao!

The peace talks between the two countries will collapse!

Xue Youli nodded. "That's right. Murong Ye wants to use Murong Nan's life to disrupt the peace talks between Jiuzhou and Nanzhao. Once war breaks out in Southern Xinjiang, Murong Che's attention will be diverted to the battlefield in Southern Xinjiang, and it will be much easier for him to do anything he wants."

Chu Xinyue suddenly realized what was going on and gritted her teeth in anger, "Murong Ye is such a vicious guy! It's a good thing you discovered that there was something wrong with this amber, otherwise it might not be Murong Nan who died, it could very well be me!"

No matter what, Murong Nan is his brother. He actually risked his brother's life for his own ambition!

"Murong Nan has always been on guard against his second brother, but Murong Ye never expected that the blood amber would be discovered by me!"

Chu Xinyue is the author herself, and she knows very well how terrifying the poisonous insects in the special edition of the novel world are.

If you are not careful, you may be controlled by the insect and lose your life.

The more she looked at the blood amber, the hotter it felt. "Then let's quickly throw this harmful thing away!"

Xue Youli shook her head. "Murong Ye is very meticulous. If you throw away the blood amber, you will alert the enemy."

"But, isn't it too dangerous to wear a poisonous insect on your body?" In this novel, Chu Xinyue set up the Nanzhao people to be good at using poisonous insects. The poisonous insects they raised could not only control people's words and deeds, but also take their lives.

This blood amber that sealed the poisonous insect was like a time bomb that could explode at any time.

Xue Youli frowned and pondered for a moment, "There are many skilled craftsmen outside the palace. Find a way to have someone make a replica of a blood amber. Remember to make it look exactly like this one, and then wear it openly every day."

"Okay!" Chu Xinyue agreed immediately, paused, and then said, "Ali, Murong Ye's knife is already on my neck, we can't let him get away with it! We have to find a way to fight back and kill him!"

Xue Youli tightened her grip on the blood amber, and she already had an idea in her mind. "If you don't mind, I'll keep this piece of blood amber with the poisonous insect in it."

Chu Xinyue looked at her worriedly, "Of course I don't mind, but be careful not to let the poisonous insect escape!"

Xue Youli met her worried expression and replied, "Well, as long as the blood amber is not broken, the insect will not be able to escape."

Chu Xinyue sat in Shuiyue Pavilion for a long time before she reluctantly stood up. "Ali, I'm leaving today. I don't know when I'll have the chance to visit you in the palace again."

"You are a princess, and now the empress dowager's daughter-in-law. If you want to enter the palace, it's just a matter of asking. It's not that troublesome." Xue Youli said, reaching out and giving her a big hug. "But you must be careful of Murong Ye outside the palace. Keep an eye on your little husband and try not to let him have any contact with Murong Ye alone. Also, the sooner the fake blood amber is made, the better."

"Okay, I'll take note. Be careful in the palace."

After seeing Chu Xinyue off, Xue Youli was not idle either. He immediately took Banxia to the library to look for books related to the poisonous insects.

Her and Chu Xinyue's travel through the book changed many plots in the novel, and even the poisonous insect appeared earlier than in the original novel.

In order to have a better chance of winning when she faces Murong Ye head-on in the future, she must understand the chips in the opponent's hand as soon as possible.

Know yourself and your enemy.

The sun sets in the west and the sky becomes dark.

Xue Youli dropped the bow and arrow in his hand and said to Xiao Zhongzi who was waiting beside him, "Clean up this place."

Now, apart from reading medical books, she practices archery every day, combining work and rest and leading a fulfilling life.

"Master, I'm going to the imperial kitchen..." Banxia was just about to go get dinner when Wang Defa's resounding voice rang out from outside, "The Emperor has arrived—"

Everyone in Shuiyuexuan immediately knelt down and saluted, "Your Highness."

Murong Che walked up to Xue Youli and helped her up from the ground. "Fifth brother and Princess Qinghe have already left the palace. I'm here to serve you dinner."

Wang Defa quickly brought the imperial meal and asked the palace servants to set it up.

As soon as Xue Youli sat down at the table, Murong Che spoke, "I came here tonight because I have something happy to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Xue Youli heard this and waited for the man to continue with curiosity.

"Today, I received a report of the battle sent back at full speed from Southern Xinjiang. The Nanzhao Kingdom has also sent envoys to negotiate peace with us. They are already on their way and will reach the capital in ten days or half a month."

Nanzhao envoy?

They come so quickly!

Xue Youli knew that some of the envoys had already reached an agreement with Murong Ye and were preparing to disrupt the peace talks between the two countries.

However, her focus could not be here, so she could only feign surprise, "So, my eldest brother is coming back too?"
