He bowed his head respectfully and arched his hand: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, the minister's health has improved a lot, but yesterday's incident has not been clarified, and the minister's heart is still uneasy."

The emperor put his hands behind his back and said in an indifferent tone: "Regarding the selection of the Holy Maiden, I have already handed it over to Chaotianwei and King Ling to deal with the aftermath, so you can recuperate at home during this time!"

How could Qin Yuetian tolerate his power being taken away, and immediately knelt on one knee.

"The minister knows that he has been entrusted by the emperor, but the selection of the holy woman is a big matter, if there are really aliens mixed into the palace, it will threaten the safety of the entire palace and even His Majesty, and the minister will not dare to slack off!"

He spoke with sincerity and fear, and his tone was very sincere, which was very moving.

Seeing that the emperor did not immediately refuse him, King Rong on the side arched his hand and said, "Father, the deputy pavilion master of Qin has always been loyal to his duties, and yesterday it was also because of a moment of negligence that the thief escaped, and the son begged his father to give him a chance to atone for his sins."

The emperor pondered for a moment and muttered, "That's it, the affairs of Zhilan Palace have been handed over to King Ling and Chao Tianwei to deal with, if Deputy Pavilion Master Qin recovers, let's find out in advance about this Gu worm today."

Qin Yuetian immediately bowed his head and bowed: "Thank you, Lord Longen."

After a while, the two of them left the Qinzheng Hall and walked towards the place where the Gu worms had been burned just now.

King Rong strode forward and said, "Now that my father refuses to let us meddle in the affairs of Zhilan Palace, what can Deputy Pavilion Master Qin do?"

Qin Yuetian's face was serious: "Your Highness, rest assured, the minister thinks that as long as the origin of these Gu worms is investigated, the emperor will definitely let us re-participate in the investigation of Zhilan Palace."

King Rong was puzzled, "Why?"

Qin Yue Tian said, "Your Highness thinks that today's Gu worms came from?"

Rong Wang pondered for a moment and shook his head.

Qin Yuetian lifted the corners of his mouth and sneered.

"Ruochen guessed correctly, these Gu worms must have been released by the thief to confuse the public."

King Rong was shocked: "What does Lord Qin mean, the thief in the Zhilan Palace is already hiding in the palace?"

Qin Yuetian thought for a while and said, "As soon as the minister woke up this morning, she received a paper crane from Sitong, the reason why she failed in the assessment yesterday was because of the woman named Chen Jingxian, I believe Her Highness already knows about it, right?"

King Rong nodded his head: "I have indeed heard of it, what Lord Qin meant, Chen Jingxian is the alien who mixed into the competition?"

The sneer on the corner of Qin Yuetian's mouth flashed and disappeared.

"I don't know if Chen Jingxian is a foreigner, but the one who entered the palace in her place must be an alien."

King Rong's face changed, and he was secretly shocked in his heart.

"Could it be that this person can also change into someone else's form?"

Qin Yuetian said as he walked forward, "Your Highness doesn't know that there is indeed such an evil art in the Xuanmen, which can turn bones and take skins and pretend to be others. It is difficult for even relatives to distinguish between the disguises of this kind of magic, and only familiar people can judge whether it is him by words and deeds."

King Rong only felt a chill in his back, and thought of the case that Chao Tianwei had done a few days ago, and immediately had an epiphany.

"I see. The clothes and blood that Chao Tianwei found in the dark alley a few days ago must have been left behind when Chen Jingxian was killed, and the person who killed her put on her human skin and pretended to be her to enter the Zhilan Palace."

While speaking, the two of them had already arrived at the gate of the temple where they had just discovered the Gu worm.

After the soldiers cleaned up, there were no traces of fire on the ground, but there were still some scattered insect corpses.

Qin Yuetian looked around sharply, and suddenly noticed that something black was quickly crawling out of the tree hole, and immediately raised his hand and shot out a spirit nail.

King Rong followed him and walked over to take a look, and found that it was indeed a Gu worm that had slipped through the net.

After being nailed by the Soul Leaking Nail, the evil spirit qi on the Gu worm's body was also suppressed, and no matter how strong its vitality was, it could no longer play a role.

Qin Yuetian pulled out the Spirit Leaking Nail and looked at the Gu worm that was nailed to it, then took out a bottle from his sleeve and carefully put the Gu worm inside.

"Rong Chen will bring this Gu worm back to the Yin Yang Pavilion to study it, and in less than half a day, he will definitely be able to give His Highness an answer.

」

King Rong nodded, "There is Lord Lao Qin."

The two said goodbye, one went back to King Rong's Mansion, and the other went back to the Yin Yang Pavilion.

On the other hand, Zhilan Palace's training was not affected in the slightest because of these accidents.

However, in the past few days after entering the palace, Xie Yuzhen has gradually become accustomed to the intensity of training, although she still complains every day, but the number of times she is beaten by the ring ruler is getting less and less.

Seeing that everyone was training about the same, the grandmothers changed their tricks to increase the difficulty of training in the afternoon.

The afternoon worked so well that by the end of the evening, more than a dozen people had been dragged out by the guards.

During the evening rest, Xie Yuzhen collapsed on the bed and sighed.

"Sister Su, I'm just afraid I won't be able to hold on like this."

Su Yiyuan smiled and said, "King Rong just sent us the ointment, how can you persist until you run out of ointment."

Xie Yuzhen immediately pouted, "You know how to make fun of me." z.br>

Before the words fell, a light knock suddenly came from the window.

Su Yiyuan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately signaled to Bai Zhi Nanxing, and ran to the window to open it.

It was Zhu Lu who was standing outside.

I saw him take out a jade pendant from his arms and hand it to Su Yiyuan, but he didn't speak.

Su Yiyuan stretched out his hand to take it, raised his eyebrows and said, "Your prince asked you to send it over?"

Zhu Lu nodded and said, "The prince said that this is a token for the girl, and in the future, whether it is a paper crane to pass the book or enter and exit the palace, as long as there is this jade pendant."

"This is what the Queen Mother gave him on the day King Ling's brother wore the crown."

Xie Yuzhen's voice suddenly came from behind, and then the jade pendant in Su Yiyuan's hand was taken over.

After Zhu Lu finished his errand, he didn't stay long, nodded at Su Yiyuan, and then walked away.

Xie Yuzhen took the jade pendant in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, and said in a casual tone, "Sister Su has seen what Brother Ling Wang used to look like? It is really a fairy-like character, and even the Empress Dowager said that among the existing emperors and grandchildren, it is King Ling's brother who is the most handsome."

Su Yiyuan's heart moved slightly when he heard this, but he only reached out and took the jade pendant and put it in his sleeve.

"What about you? Did the Queen Mother also say that you were the naughtiest of her grandchildren?"

Xie Yuzhen raised her head and said arrogantly: "The Empress Dowager loved me the most when she was alive, but you rarely entered the palace after being adopted by the Qin family, so you didn't know."

Speaking of the Qin family, Su Yiyuan's face changed significantly.

Xie Yuzhen also realized that she had lost her words, and hurriedly made up for it: "But the Queen Mother still often talks about you, saying that she doesn't know if you are doing well outside the palace."

Su Yiyuan didn't want to mention the past, firstly, he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and arouse suspicion, and secondly, he didn't want to have anything to do with the Qin family anymore.
