　　"Poison?" Xie Ciyan frowned, his expression even more fierce. "But the Miaojiang poisonous insect that the imperial physician told me about before?"

　　"That's right." Imperial Physician Shen's face was also a bit solemn, no longer as gentle as before. "The emperor once asked me about a kind of insect that can emit light in the army, which is also a poisonous insect."

　　Yan Zhaozhao was also impressed by the insect that could emit light. It was the day when she asked the empress dowager about something. She said that Yan Zhiman had a kind of insect that could emit light and could also detect what others said. On the same night, the empress dowager died strangely.

　　She always felt that the death of the empress dowager was probably related to Yan Zhiman, but after being in the cold palace for half a year, she couldn't figure out why. The empress dowager was the biological mother of the deposed emperor, not a concubine, and her position had always been stable. She had always been favored by the deposed emperor, and no one could threaten her at all, but she killed the empress dowager. Why on earth was this?

　　"When the emperor asked about the poison in Miaojiang before, I only knew a little bit. After looking through the ancient books, I think I can answer the emperor's doubts now." Doctor Shen humbly bowed to Xie Ciyan.

　　"Doctor Shen is too modest." Xie Ciyan raised his hand to exempt him from the bow. Doctor Shen's ancestors were all the leading doctors, and Doctor Shen was even more knowledgeable. Not only was he a great doctor, but he also loved to study the art of poison medicine. Many years ago, Xie Ciyan saved Doctor Shen from danger. In order to repay his kindness and appreciate Xie Ciyan's character, he volunteered to join him and become his military doctor.

　　"Gu worms are both poisonous and poisonous insects. It is not easy to refine such an evil thing. You need to put more than a dozen or even hundreds of Gu worms in a sealed jar for a period of 49 days. During this period of time, those poisonous insects will start to hunt other poisonous insects and even swallow them into their stomachs when they have no water or food. It is also because of this that the poisonous insect that survived at last absorbed many kinds of toxins and became extremely poisonous. This is Gu."

　　Doctor Shen told the story, and the two listened attentively. "And if this kind of trained Gu is to be used, it needs to be raised by a person. The poison has become extremely bloodthirsty during those 49 days. If you want to control the Gu worm, you have to feed it your blood regularly to keep it alive for your use. The Gu worm is picky, and not everyone's blood can be used to raise it. Once the Gu worm chooses a person's blood, it will not drink other blood. This is called recognizing its master. From then on, the Gu worm will listen to the person who raises the Gu and become the best killing weapon."

　　He touched his graying beard, and when he talked about the Miaojiang Gu worm, even his slightly turbid eyes were stained with a layer of light. "The glowing insect that the Queen asked about half a year ago is the golden silkworm Gu, which is the most toxic of all the Gu poisons. It is blood red all over, as bright as a ruby, and at night it is like a firefly, and its body will emit light. This is because the poison of the golden silkworm Gu contains phosphorus, so it will emit light at night. The stronger the poison, the brighter the light."

　　"So... the glowing insect that the Queen Mother saw is undoubtedly the golden silkworm Gu." As Doctor Shen said this, Yan Zhaozhao kept recalling what the Queen Mother said to her in Shoukang Palace that day. If the Queen Mother really saw the golden silkworm Gu on Yan Zhiman, perhaps this is why the Queen Mother went crazy and died.

　　The Queen Mother caught Yan Zhiman raising Gu. Although she didn't know that it was a Gu worm, Yan Zhiman ruthlessly poisoned the Queen Mother to prevent the secret of her raising Gu in the palace from being leaked.

　　Xie Ci Yan nodded in agreement, and then set his eyes on the deposed emperor. "Is the Gu in his body also a golden silkworm Gu?"

　　"No." Doctor Shen shook his head. "The poison of the golden silkworm Gu is extremely strong. If he had been infected with this Gu, he would not be alive. The Gu in his body is a love Gu, the most vicious Gu in the world."

　　He said seriously: "The love Gu is fed with the blood of the Gu breeder. Once it is planted in the body, it will control the person's thoughts and give him the illusion of falling in love with the Gu breeder. He will miss the Gu breeder every day and want to get close to the Gu breeder all the time. In fact, this is not what the person thinks in his mind. It's just that the Gu worm misses the Gu breeder's blood, so it controls the person to keep getting close to the Gu breeder. This is the love Gu."

　　As soon as Doctor Shen finished speaking, Yan Zhaozhao instantly connected everything. Why did the deposed emperor, who had always indulged in sensual pleasures, suddenly fall in love with Yan Zhiman after she appeared, and even looked down on other women and changed his nature to favor her exclusively? I think all this is due to the love Gu in his body.

　　Xie Ciyan seemed to understand the plan, and his eyes became deeper. "According to Doctor Shen, is there any way to save him?"

　　"Of course there is." Doctor Shen took out a silver needle from the medicine box and pierced the deposed emperor's wrist to seal his heart meridian, and then said: "Although the love Gu is evil, it is not as poisonous as the golden silkworm Gu. The backlash now is just because the love Gu has been away from the Gu breeder for a long time, and he must have had contact with other women before. The love Gu recognizes its master, and as long as it approaches other women, it will be backlashed. The only way to save it is to let the Gu breeder feed it with heart blood again."

　　Yan Zhaozhao was distressed, and the more she thought about the details, the more frightened she became. Yan Zhiman was the prime minister's concubine's daughter, and she had been raised in the mansion since she was a child. How did she know about raising Gu? She even raised a love Gu with her own heart blood to murder the emperor. If Xie Ciyan had not ascended the throne today, such a thing would be a serious crime that would implicate the entire clan!

　　Her face turned pale, her heart kept falling, and she was full of fear.

　　Seeing this, Xie Ci Yan took her hand firmly into his palm, and said in a hoarse voice beside her ear: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." He no longer cared about the other people in the hall at this time, and lowered his head to kiss the top of her head, comforting her softly. "This time, I will protect you and won't let anything happen to you."

　　He has been trying his best and overcoming all the difficulties along the way to sit on the dragon throne, just so that one day he can protect the people he wants to protect, and no longer be the regent who couldn't even ask for his beloved to marry him personally, and let her marry the deposed emperor and suffer all kinds

　　of grievances. Now, as long as he, Xie Ci Yan, is here, Yan Zhaozhao will not suffer any grievances.

　　He called the guards, his eyes were stern, and his every move was the demeanor and elegance of a king, making people unconsciously surrender to him. "Where is Concubine Chun Yan Zhi Man who is by the side of the deposed emperor?"

　　The guard thought for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, last night, the deposed emperor's harem was sealed off according to your order. Concubine Chun should be in Guanju Palace now."

　　"Go, invite this person to me."

　　"Yes!" The guard took the order and turned around to ask the eunuchs outside to prepare a sedan chair and go to Guanju Palace with him.

　　"Wait." Xie Ci Yan suddenly spoke, his fingertips pinching the black belt around his waist nonchalantly, "The palace is short of sedan chairs, so please ask Concubine Chun to come here in person."

　　"I'll wait here."
