Xie Shouzheng asked again: "Then how to identify infected people? And how can it be treated after infection?"

Lin Qingyue: "The method of identification is not difficult, I can synthesize a spice that Mayfly Silk hates, and ordinary people will not have any abnormality when smelling that incense. Infected people will have headaches when smelling it. From this, it can be identified whether it is an infected person."

As she spoke, she wrote a formula and handed it to Xie Shouzheng: "This is the ingredient for the Identification Incense Pill, find a way to help me gather it, and I will refine it into incense pills."

Xie Shouzheng looked at the formula and said: "Other medicinal materials are easy to say, only this Moon Orchid has never been heard of."

Moon Orchid is a common orchid in the Immortal Cultivation World, and it is the most important medicinal herb for identifying Mayfly Silk. If there is none, it will be very troublesome.

However, all things in the world have always been mutually reinforcing and restraining. Since there are Mayfly Demons and Mayfly Silk in this world, there will naturally be things that restrain them.

So she picked up a pen and drew the Moon Orchid: "Have you never seen this?"

"Oh, this is the Night Orchid! It is a kind of orchid that blooms at night, I didn't expect it to be used as medicine..."

It turns out that Moon Orchid has changed its name in this place, called Night Orchid. Anyway, it's fine if it can be found, the name is not important!

"... This kind of flower grows in Lan Xian, it is rare in ordinary places. Lan Xian is the hometown of orchids, and it happens to be in the Prince of Jin's fief, and the Prince of Jin is very fond of orchids, maybe there will be some."

Lin Qingyue said: "I will go to the Wangfu to find it."

Xie Shouzheng nodded and said again: "It is not enough to identify the infected people, the important thing is how to lift the parasitism?"

Lin Qingyue said: "Then we have to find the head worm, which is the Mayfly Demon. The demon should be in the capital. If you want to investigate, be careful not to alert the enemy. Mayfly Silk has no IQ, after entering the human body, it just simply imitates the host's habits and behaviors. But the Mayfly Demon has IQ."

"In addition, we must control and prevent it, and not continue to expand the scope of infection. Mayfly Silk is dormant on weekdays, but if it is within a certain range, it will be driven by the head worm. That is to say, the parasitized people will all become his chess pieces, the more chess pieces, the harder it is to control the situation."

Xie Shouzheng was shocked as he listened: "What does a certain range mean..."

Lin Qingyue: "Within a radius of ten miles."

That is to say, within this range, as long as the head worm is willing, no matter how expensive the identity of the infected person is, they will be driven by him.

Thinking about it, it's terrifying!

Xie Shouzheng pondered for a moment and said: "Within today, the entire Xuanjing Division will temporarily not take any action. If the Princess can refine the Identification Incense Pill, all the brothers in the division will be checked to ensure they are not infected before proceeding with the next action!"

The purpose of doing this is also to avoid infected people in the Xuanjing Division, thereby becoming chess pieces for others.

Lin Qingyue nodded, didn't say anything more, and turned back to the Wangfu to find the Night Orchid.

Xiao Hua walked with light cat steps, following closely all the way, its round cat face also in a dignified manner.

On the way, sitting in the carriage, Xiao Hua asked Lin Qingyue: "Will my father also be infected with Mayfly Silk?"

Lin Qingyue nodded: "It should be. Mayfly Silk has no demon evil spirit before parasitism, so it can flow into the palace smoothly. And your father is the True Dragon Emperor, who has great luck himself, so he will show a little abnormality after infection."

Speaking of this, Lin Qingyue's voice stopped, and Xiao Hua also thought of something, one person and one cat looked at each other, both tacitly understanding.

All things in the world are mutually reinforcing and restraining, and poisons are often accompanied by antidotes. Then conversely, could all this be the trick of the Prince of Jin in secret?

The Prince of Jin's ambition for the position of Crown Prince is obvious.

But he has been in the capital for more than half a year, but the Emperor of Qi has been slow to loosen his mouth.

Perhaps, Dongfang Yan can't wait, so he wants to use Mayfly Silk to manipulate the Emperor of Qi to establish a Crown Prince!

At the same time, the Prince of Jin Dongfang Yan was at the mansion of the Prince of Rui's Heir, discussing matters.

The Prince of Rui's Heir is one year older than Dongfang Yan, and the relationship between the two has been very good since they were young.

Most importantly, the old Rui Wang is lazy and doesn't like to hold power.

Even when the Emperor summoned the eight kings of Qi to the capital for the matter of the Crown Prince, the old Rui Wang was not interested and only sent his son to go through the motions.

And the Prince of Rui's Heir Dongfang Kuai has the same personality as his old man. After arriving in the capital, other princes were busy fighting for power. Only this Dongfang Kuai was busy looking for delicious food and wine.

At this moment, the round-bodied Heir pointed to the full table of delicacies and said to Dongfang Yan: "These are the ten delicacies I have carefully selected over the past six months, ready to be compiled into my 'Great Qi Folk Food Spectrum'. Come and taste how it tastes."

Dongfang Yan frowned: "You said there was an important matter, just to invite me to dinner?"

Dongfang Kuai said naturally: "Isn't delicious food and wine the most important thing in the world?"

Dongfang Yan came, so he had to sit down and eat.

"This delicacy has a strange taste, I guarantee you will want to eat it again after eating it!"

Dongfang Kuai enthusiastically added a few pieces of crystal clear things to him, and matched them with a pile of small dipping sauces, and then enthusiastically greeted: "Taste it! You have to stuff it in one bite to have a taste."

Dongfang Yan ate it in one bite according to the method he taught.

Chewed a few times, although he didn't know what the ingredients were, it did have a strange taste and was delicious.

After eating one bite, he couldn't help but add some more, and asked casually: "What kind of meat is this, it's really delicious."

"Raw fish! How is it, addicted in one bite?"

Dongfang Yan's hand holding the fish meat shook, and the fish meat as thin as a cicada's wing fell back into the plate.

"What? Raw fish? Raw?"

Dongfang Yan had also heard of the great name of this dish, but he never ate raw food, and didn't know what raw fish looked like.

Dongfang Kuai said happily: "How is it, very surprised? I didn't like raw food at first, but after tasting raw fish, it feels delicious. I am also preparing to list this dish as the head of raw food. Come, come, taste this peach blossom wine. One bite of wine and one bite of raw fish, I wouldn't even be an emperor!"

Dongfang Yan still had some disgust for raw food in his heart, only drank some peach blossom wine, and didn't eat raw fish again.

After three rounds of drinking, he was almost done eating, Dongfang Yan still had many errands to do, so he got up and said goodbye.

Dongfang Kuai joked: "You are so diligent, even if you don't become an emperor in the future, you must be a regent to be worthy of your efforts."

Dongfang Yan glared at him: "Be careful with your words."

Dongfang Kuai laughed loudly: "You people, you are really hypocritical. Clearly, it is Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it, but you still have to hide it. Do you really think our imperial uncle doesn't know? He is very smart!"

Dongfang Yan smiled helplessly: "It's just you, without great ambition. No wonder the Emperor always summons you, if it weren't for our many years of friendship and thorough understanding of you. I would have listed you as the biggest competitor."

"Don't, don't, I don't have those thoughts! By the way, I also prepared a portion of raw fish and peach blossom wine, you take it back for the sister-in-law to taste. Speaking of which, you have been married for many days, why don't you bring the Princess to meet us clan members?"

"Nothing to see." Dongfang Yan's tone was not very good when he mentioned Lin Qingyue.

"You, you!" Dongfang Kuai patted him on the shoulder and advised, "Since you are husband and wife, you should treat people well. The wine and raw fish are packed for you, remember to bring them."

This time, Dongfang Yan didn't refuse again.
