I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Lin Jin stroked his chest gently and calmed his thoughts: "No, I wasn't looking at them, I just saw my brother going over there." Lin Jin stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction where Liu Zhengqing disappeared.

"That's not the one..." Jing'an paused, her fair face stained with anger, "That's ridiculous, my sister was frightened last night, even if you want to choose a prince consort for her, there's no need to rush."

Lin Jin was thinking whether to stop Jing'an who was about to run away, when Prince Pei, who was drinking tea at the side, put down his teacup and said, "Jing'an, stop! The Queen Mother has summoned Liu Zhengqing to the palace. You can't do anything if you go there now, and it will make the Queen Mother lose face. It's just a nightmare, why should you be so cautious?"

"What do you mean it's just a nightmare! Even if you don't like your sister, you can't say such things." Jing'an was dissatisfied with his words, and didn't care that Lin Jin was still here, and directly retorted, "That's why father didn't like you in the first place. No matter how hard you try to learn from Song Shiqiu, you can't learn it!"

Lin Jin now regretted why she didn't ask more clearly at the beginning. In this situation, she really wanted to find a hole to crawl into. It was difficult to persuade or not at this time.

King Pei rarely appeared in public because of his leg amputation. His skin looked pale and sickly due to years of not seeing the sun. At this moment, because of Jing'an's words, he looked even more sinister, and his eyes were like a poisonous snake staring at its prey in the grass.

"What did you say? Jing'an." King Pei suppressed his anger.

Jing'an knew that he had said something wrong, so he moved his lips but didn't say anything. He pulled Lin Jin, who was still in a daze, and made a face before running off: "Anyway, I won't listen to you on this matter."

Lin Jin followed behind Jing'an and subconsciously glanced at King Pei, then looked away before the other party noticed.

"What I said just now was just angry words, don't take it to heart." Jing An said to Lin Jin after leaving the small building, "I just said that."

"I don't remember what I said." Lin Jin touched his nose to hide his embarrassment, and sighed in his heart that Song Shiqiu was indeed easy to attract hatred, "But I'll go there too, isn't it bad?"

Although Lin Jin really wanted to go and see the princess, she always felt something was wrong.

"It would be even more impolite to leave you there." Jing'an now just wanted to rush over to stop them, "But it's okay this way, I can get away with it today."

Lin Jin followed Jing'an and caught a glimpse of the anxiety on the other's face from the corner of her eye. Just as Song Shiqiu said, Jing'an cared very much about this princess who was finally found.

Jing'an suddenly stopped, Lin Jin looked at him in confusion, only to see Liu Zhengqing walking towards him.

"Brother, you are not..." Lin Jin took a few steps forward. It hasn't been long since then. Is it over already?

Liu Zhengqing nodded: "Yes."

"Did you see it?" Lin Jin was a little concerned.

"No, I hadn't even stepped in yet, but I heard the palace servants inside shouting something in panic, and then someone was carrying blood in and out..." Before Liu Zhengqing could finish his words, Jing'an ran past them in panic.

Liu Zhengqing looked at Jing'an's back and asked, "Are there any other unmarried princesses in the palace now?"

"Yes, I heard that he was just found, and Jing'an seemed to care a lot about it." Lin Jin looked at Jing'an's back worriedly, not knowing whether he should follow him.

"I see." Liu Zhengqing lowered his head in thought, "Is that princess the woman that Princess Jing'an rescued when she led the army to suppress the bandits?"

"Eh? I don't know about that. I only heard Song Shiqiu say that she was found recently. It seems that it is indeed around the same time as Jing'an's return to Beijing. Maybe." Lin Jin also fell into deep thought. He didn't expect that this princess was actually found by Jing'an. "No wonder Jing'an is so anxious."

Just as Lin Jin was hesitating whether to follow, a palace servant hurried over and said, "Lord Liu, Madam Song, the carriage is ready. Princess Jing'an has told you two to leave the palace first. Please don't tell anyone about what happened today."

Lin Jin was stunned for a moment when she was called Madam Song. When she realized what was happening, she nodded: "Okay. Let's go first, brother."

The two people followed the palace servants towards the palace gate. Lin Jin didn't pay attention when she was sitting in the carriage just now, but now she realized that the palace road was really long, so long that her legs felt tired just by looking at it.

Liu Zhengqing helped Lin Jin onto the carriage. The wheels of the carriage rolled slowly, leaving light dust marks as they rolled over the bricks.

"You actually want me to see the princess who was just found, whether she knows witchcraft, right?" Liu Zhengqing looked at Lin Jin who was obviously uneasy, and he got the answer to Lin Jin's hesitation yesterday.

Lin Jin was speechless and could only nod honestly: "That's right, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you the truth."

"It's okay." Liu Zhengqing knew Lin Jin's temper to some extent. "Although I didn't see that woman, she was too weak."

"And then?" Lin Jin didn't understand what this had to do with the body, so she could only ask him to continue.

Liu Zhengqing frowned, "Raising a Gu requires a lot of energy, which is why there are not many people in this world who are truly proficient in Gu techniques. Many people cannot afford the cost of raising a Gu, and may die from it before the Gu worm is even grown."

"That means, that girl might not be like that, right?" Lin Jin didn't know why she felt relieved. If possible, she actually hoped that the other party would not do such a thing.

"On the contrary, she is very likely to be proficient in witchcraft. Precisely because raising witchcraft requires extremely high standards from the owner, if one reluctantly learns witchcraft and raises the poisonous insects himself, his body will be damaged, his essence and blood will be insufficient, and in severe cases, he may even be attacked by the poisonous insects. An ordinary person would not be so weak." Liu Zhengqing had not seen the woman in person and could not be completely sure.

"Is that so?" Lin Jin sighed. He didn't really want this to happen.

Liu Zhengqing continued to speak according to his inference: "If she was rescued by Princess Jing'an at that time, it would be even more suspicious. Ah Jin, no matter why you don't want that woman to know witchcraft, I still want to remind you that this woman's origin is too unusual."

"There's something weird about her. Song Shiqiu's worry is not without reason." Liu Zhengqing had to admit that if he were Song Shiqiu, he would also be suspicious of this woman, and might even be more ruthless.

It is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go so as to prevent future troubles.

"That's true." Lin Jin forced a helpless smile.

If she really was a princess who had been stranded outside, how could Jing'an know that she was her sister? Even if there was a token of trust, she would not have any suspicion at all. Such strangeness could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

Liu Zhengqing laughed with an ambiguous meaning: "Song Shiqiu is really a kind prime minister."

"Why are you angry for no reason?" Lin Jin noticed Liu Zhengqing's anger and felt that it was unreasonable. As he spoke, he started to mock.

"What a weird thing?" Liu Zhengqing raised his hand as if to hit her, but then put it down. "If that woman really knows witchcraft and has bad intentions, anyone who gets close to her will be in danger. How could Song Shiqiu let you take the risk?"

"No, no, this is just my guess, not what he said, and my guess may not be correct." Lin Jin cursed inwardly, almost forgetting that Liu Zhengqing was an extremely protective person.

"That's not that bad." Liu Zhengqing snorted, "Even if that woman doesn't know witchcraft, it's not easy to deal with her if she needs so many people to take care of her in such a short period of time."

Lin Jin wanted to help Song Shiqiu explain, but seeing that Liu Zhengqing obviously already had his own opinion, her further explanation would only make things worse and add fuel to the fire.
