"Dead... Is he dead?" the prison boss asked in shock, holding the vessel.

Those pink and tender bloodworms turned gray in an instant, and there was deathly silence.

Cheng Zhong's body looked horrible, as if he had been dead for two days.

Rong Xun made a hand gesture and when he swung it towards Cheng Zhong, a wave of energy was visible to the naked eye.

Cheng Zhong still had no reaction.

"Go get some bloodworms."

Rong Xun glanced at the jailer.

The jailer felt so sick that he wanted to vomit, but there were so many people around, so he had no choice but to go ahead.

"Be careful." Rong Xun warned.

He had searched through many books about this bloodworm, but still couldn't find out what it was.

The jailer responded, and he carefully packed up the bloodworm that was no longer moving.

"Almost done." Rong Xun saw the jailer scoop a spoonful and spoke.

The jailer felt as if he had been pardoned, but he held his breath until he was far away from Cheng Zhongyuan and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He offered it with both hands, "Master Supervisor."

Rong Xun frowned and took it for a look. The fragile bloodworm was indeed lifeless.

Xiao Lusheng frowned and said, "Why is there something like this on Cheng Zhong? It looks similar to the bloodworms on Li Juanling's body, but it's not quite the same. These are like larvae."

Rong Xun smiled faintly, "This is indeed a larva."

"Isn't this thing very tough? Why did it die so easily?"

And there are so many of them, there are probably tens of thousands of bloodworms in Cheng Zhong's body.

If such an astonishing number of them all grew as long and hard as the bloodworms in Li Juanling's body...

Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

The bloodworms had a strong smell of blood, and he couldn't help but feel like vomiting.

Rong Xun shook his head slightly.

If he knew, he wouldn't be so nervous, and he wouldn't even come to the cell every day to keep an eye on the bloodworm man.

Seeing that Xiao Lusheng was about to vomit, Rong Xun said, "Your Majesty, let's talk outside."

The group walked out of the torture chamber.

Everyone's expression was very solemn.

Yu Qi looked at the gray-white larvae placed in a container not far away and said, "If all of these survive, it would be a horrible thing."

Lin Shian and Shu Ying were the same. They also kept looking at the dead larvae and felt as if their blood was about to freeze.

"Rong Xun, if I remember correctly, on the day you arrested Cheng Zhong, Yun'er and Cheng Zhong had contact for a long time..." Xiao Lusheng said, his voice trembling.

Rong Xun knew what Xiao Lusheng was worried about.

Isn't he worried about the same thing?

That day, he threw away everything related to Cheng Zhong in the mansion, including the teacups and teapots.

"Your Majesty, I returned in time that day, and the Queen did not drink anything." He still remembered that Yun'er almost drank the scented tea.

"You mean, that thing was put in the tea?"

"Exactly."

"If the criminals put this thing into the well, wouldn't it be..."

Xiao Lusheng's voice was trembling a little.

Rong Xun said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. This thing is so fierce, it must not be easy to get it. Otherwise, why would the criminals hide it and do evil?"

"Besides, if this thing gets to Cheng Zhong, it will only take a day or two for the main body to explode and die, and the larvae will all be destroyed. They won't waste it like this."

Listen to Rong Xun's analysis.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Lusheng was thinking about the scene just now, but the bloodworm man Li Juanling next to him didn't move.

"That bloodworm man, it doesn't seem to be as energetic as before."

"Yes, I see so too."

"At that time, the bloodworm shattered the glass bottle. It has such power, but now there is no trace of it at all."

Lin Shian looked at Rong Xun and asked, "Master Rong, is this related to your spells?"

Rong Xun said: "My spells only confine it to a certain range, not to completely suppress it."

"Besides, the black goat is alive and well. It is obvious that it is resistant to animal blood."

Yu Qi said: "How about I get some of my own blood for it to taste?"

"Are you crazy?"

Shuying nudged Yuqi and said, "If that thing really recognizes people and blood, why would it want to eat you?"

Yu Qi said, "I am not powerless, how could I get into trouble so easily?" He looked at Xiao Lusheng and knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty, this thing is very terrifying. If we don't figure out its advantages and disadvantages as soon as possible, it will be a very difficult matter."

Xiao Lusheng knew it very well.

But when it came to letting Yu Qi take the risk, he actually hesitated.

Rong Xun said: "Master Zhou, don't worry about this matter. I will make arrangements."

He had thought of this idea earlier, so he released a sheep in to test it first.

The result is self-evident. The bloodworms have no attack power against black goats.

"For safety reasons, everyone should be careful with what they eat, especially food that you eat, you must boil it in water first," Rong Xun suggested.

Everyone should come down.

Xiao Lusheng looked at the jailer and shouted, "Ao Guangzhong."

Ao Guangzhong shuddered, he didn't expect the emperor still remembered his name, he knelt down tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I am here."

"Have your sister and your second wife been behaving well lately?"

The majestic words were like a cold knife hanging over the head of the prison boss Ao Guangzhong.

He couldn't help but think that Xiang Lu had been acting a little abnormal recently.

The last time the sisters Xianglu and Xianglan came to the prison to deliver food and were seen by the emperor and the empress, he was so scared that he never dared to let his family come to the prison again.

Who would have thought that Xiang Lu came again yesterday, acting crazy and crying that he was not as good to her as Xiang Lan.

Then he said that she had not given him any children.

As he spoke he began to cry loudly.

For Xiang Lan's sake, he endured it and poured her a glass of water as she requested. When he came back, he saw Xiang Lu asking the jailer about the bloodworm people in the torture chamber.

He didn't think anything of it at the time, so he drove Xiang Lu away.

But Xiang Lu did not return home last night, so today the emperor came to ask in person.

As a superior, Xiao Lusheng guessed something from Ao Guangzhong's expression.

This person has been thinking for so long, I'm afraid there really is something wrong.

Ao Guangzhong knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Xiang Lu did come to the prison yesterday, but I definitely did not let her get close to the torture chamber. Later, I drove her away. Last night, she did not return home. I don't know if she has returned home now."

Xiao Lusheng looked at Yu Qi and said, "Go and make a trip now."

Yu Qi clasped his fists and said, "Yes."

After that, he turned around and left.

----

In Yonghua Palace.

Jian Shun originally wanted to inform the Queen and then go to the Heavenly Prison to find the Emperor.

Who would have thought that after Su Yun heard it, she pulled him aside and asked him a lot of questions.

Before they left, they heard Hanxiang say Qingning was here.

Su Yun said, "I know roughly what's going on. You go take care of the emperor first."

"Yes, ma'am."

When Jian Shun was leaving, Qingning came in. After the two nodded and greeted each other, Jian Shun strode away.

Qingning walked in and greeted first.

Then he became very excited and quickly told Su Yun what happened yesterday.
