Looking at the smile on her face that couldn't be hidden, Xiao Qingqian's throat was choked with sobs. He hugged Wei Qing tightly in his arms and used more strength in his arms.

Vaguely, Wei Qing could smell the faint smell of blood.

"Ah Qian, did your wound split open again?" Wei Qing placed her hands across his chest and pushed with all her might.

However, both of Xiao Qingqian's arms were like solid vines, no matter how hard she tried, he had no intentions of releasing her.

Wei Qing did not struggle anymore and allowed him to hug her.

"Are you stupid?" Xiao Qingqian hugged her for a moment, held onto her arms, and in that instant, looked into her star-like eyes.

"What fool?"

"You've been staring at the worms for the whole morning just to raise the Gu?"

He could still clearly remember the terrified look Wei Qing had when he had threatened her with a caterpillar.

She stared at the worm all morning, wondering how she had managed to overcome her fear.

Wei Qing blushed and smiled at him, "When we ride the horses, don't we have to defeat the fear in our hearts?"

"It's not the same."

Wei Qing turned her head, "There's nothing different. When it comes to fear, it's just human psychology. I'm afraid, but I might not be afraid anymore."

Xiao Qingqian sighed somewhat helplessly, "Up to you."

Actually, she could just leave the matter of nurturing the Gu to the dark guards, but she seemed to especially dislike fake people.

"Oh right, did that fake Eunuch Gui go to the national treasury to collect silver today?" Wei Qing suddenly thought of this and asked.

Logically speaking, if he was followed by Xiao Qingqian yesterday, he shouldn't have the guts to appear again.

Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrows, "Talking about this matter is rather interesting."

"What?" Wei Qing frowned, "Could it be that he really has the guts to go to the national treasury?"

"I had already decided to bring the Dark Guard here to wait for the king to enter the Urn. However, royal father stopped me."

"What is royal father's intention?"

"Father asked me to borrow the dog general."

Wei Qing's eyes quickly turned and she quickly understood that Old Emperor was trying to catch a big fish with a long line.

With only a fake Eunuch Gui, it was impossible for him to have the guts to do such a thing.

"Eunuch Gui also said that he had a twin brother. However, the two of them separated very early on."

"Don't tell me that person yesterday was Eunuch Gui's elder brother?" Wei Qing was surprised.

"Maybe."

Wei Qing felt that all of this was too unbelievable, it was as if everything was a mess.

After closing the lid, the two of them walked out of medicine hut and towards the dining hall.

These days, Xiao Qingqian was too busy, it was rare for the two of them to have lunch together.

"Eat more." Wei Qing kept picking dishes for Xiao Qingqian.

Seeing the dishes that were piled into a small mountain in front of him, Xiao Qingqian chose to give another portion to Wei Qing.

dog general followed the smell of the silver and found a forest. However, when the smell reached there, it suddenly disappeared.

Under Wei Qing's intense request, the secret guard hurriedly returned to report. With her, Xiao Qingqian flew all the way to the forest on the outskirts of the city.

Wei Qing asked the guard, "Have you guys searched for any caves nearby?"

When dog general saw Wei Qing, he shook his head and turned into a little puppy.

Wei Qing rubbed its head, then said lovingly, "Be good."

He did not know if it was the painting that Wei Qing drew before, but Xiao Qingqian was not feeling good right now.

Just then, Wei Qing looked over, and their eyes met in mid air. Wei Qing saw that he had a weird look in his eyes, and turned to look at dog general who was rubbing against her leg, and could not help but smile.

He walked to Xiao Qingqian's side and called out softly, "Little milk dog, be good."

Xiao Qingqian's eyes darkened, "Wait!"

Wei Qing was shocked, her mouth twitched.

"Reporting to consort, your subordinate has already searched the vicinity, but has not found any caves."

Wei Qing frowned, upon thinking about it, the smell immediately disappeared, it could be that there was an underground palace nearby, or that the fake Eunuch Gui had a movement technique, flying towards him from above.

However, even if it was a top class expert, he might not be able to carry a few boxes along the way with him.

Wei Qing thought about it repeatedly, then said to the shadow guard: "Find around here, don't let even an inch of it go."

Since it was impossible to fly away from the sky, then the only possibility left was the underground palace.

There was bound to be an entrance to the underground palace.

The guard accepted the order, and everyone started to search around the area.

At the entrance to the underground palace, the 'Eunuch Gui' listened attentively with a solemn expression.

He said to his subordinates, "Quickly hide the silver and close the gate to prepare the poison gas."

The few of them nodded and moved extremely quickly.

At this time, the dog general suddenly barked.

Wei Qing loosened the reins in her hands, and the dog general shot forward like an arrow that had just left the bow.

After exchanging glances with Xiao Qingqian, Wei Qing said to the guard in secret, "Dig this place out!"

When the few people below the underground palace heard this, their faces suddenly changed several times.

"Eunuch Gui" frowned as he thought about it, "I don't want the silver anymore, let's go."

The Dark Guard dug very quickly, but this underground palace seemed to be built quite deep. In addition to the fact that the soil here was hard, the sun was slightly to the west, so they didn't manage to dig into the underground palace.

Wei Qing earnestly looked at the place where dog general had just squatted.

"Did you find anything?"

"The dark guard said that the smell disappeared right here, so the entrance to the underground palace should be here."

Wei Qing whistled to dog general, who ran over quickly.

"dog general, take a good sniff and see if there's any more silver here."

perhaps dog general really was the reincarnation of a Howling Celestial Dog, and was actually slowly and carefully sniffing the air.

Not far from here, it stopped and turned its head to bark at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing anxiously walked forward, and after searching around, she found a rock that was buried on the ground. She turned her head and looked at Xiao Qingqian, and Xiao Qingqian walked forward and stepped on it.

Everything was normal!

He frowned, bent over, and moved the stone away. With a "boom", a huge entrance appeared at the place where Wei Qing and Xiao Qingqian were at just a moment ago.

Xiao Qingqian smiled at Wei Qing and the two of them walked forward together.

He picked up a rock and threw it down. However, he did not hear the sound of the mechanism being activated.

Just as Wei Qing was about to get down, she was stopped.

He called a guard and found the silver that he hadn't hidden yet.

Xiao Qingqian squinted his eyes and allowed the hidden guard to continue moving forward.

The shadow guard walked along the passage and the stone door behind him suddenly closed. Following that, the poison gas quickly sprayed out and the dark guard fell to the ground, blood flowing out of his eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

After not getting a response for a long time, a huge unease surfaced in Wei Qing's heart.

She said to Xiao Qingqian: "I'm afraid the odds are against us."
