Looking at her expression, Mu Canling couldn't help but asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Don't you like it, Yun Xiao?"

His voice brought back Gu Jiuqing's thoughts.

She shook her head and said, "May I ask, Your Highness, King of Yue, where did this thing come from?"

"This is the ice jade silkworm unique to Xiliang. It has the effect of detoxifying hundreds of poisons." Mu Canling said lightly, "It seems that you don't like this gift very much."

Mu Canling said, looking a little sad.

"No, I'm just too shocked." Gu Jiuqing quickly explained.

She had seen this ice jade silkworm before, in her previous life.

She once cultivated this thing with her own hands!

Moreover, he was forced by someone.

Seeing this object suddenly at this time brought back some bad memories for her.

She quickly shook off the distracting thoughts and focused her attention on the ice jade silkworm again.

It takes about ten years to cultivate a qualified ice jade silkworm.

Before this ice jade silkworm truly takes shape, it is a very delicate thing. If you are not careful, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

She went through a lot of hardships and finally cultivated baby silkworms.

Then, according to the records in the incomplete ancient books, half experimenting and half groping, she changed various ratios and adjusted the data. Finally, among the dozens of young silkworms she selected, she finally got a qualified silkworm.

Ice jade silkworm.

Regardless of the expensive and rare medicinal materials, the energy and time spent cultivating this thing is enough to make people collapse.

Moreover, in the final step, these silkworms need to be killed by themselves, just like raising voodoos. The winning silkworm is the qualified ice jade silkworm.

If there is no winner in the end, all the hard work invested will be in vain.

In fact, many people have failed before her.

And the fate of the losers is not very good!

Therefore, when she suddenly saw this thing again, she felt familiar and at the same time, she could not help but feel the hair on her back.

Since Mu Canling said that this is something unique to Xiliang, I think the ancient book she compared might have come from Xiliang.

Fate is so wonderful!

"Since you like it, I'm relieved." At this time, Mu Canling smiled lightly and said, "Take it! This is my intention!"

It would be fine if it was something else, but this thing was too precious and Gu Jiuqing really couldn't have it.

"I accept your highness's kindness. However, this thing is valuable and I cannot accept it." Gu Jiuqing said, and sent this thing back without any hesitation.

"Since it's given to you, it belongs to you." Mu Canling said, "If Yun Xiao doesn't want it, it doesn't matter if she throws it away or burns it, it's all up to you. But I won't ask for it back!"

Only those who have personally cultivated this thing know how difficult it is to get it.

She rejected Mu Canling again, and when she was about to turn around and leave, she heard Mu Canling sigh: "Since Yun Xiao insists on doing this, then I can only destroy it."

With that said, he ordered his men to fetch the brazier. He wanted to throw this extremely precious ice jade silkworm into the fire and destroy it.

Gu Jiuqing, "..."

This is such a waste of natural resources!

Although it was not her effort, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Mu Canling obviously wasn't joking, he actually took out the thing and threw it away.

Within a moment, the precious ice jade silkworm struggled in the charcoal fire and was completely reduced to ashes.

Gu Jiuqing, "..."

This operation made her feel chest tight and short of breath.

It was like a house that had been built for ten years. Every brick and tile was carefully added, and every beam and beam was carved by one's own hands. However, the moment it was built, it was blown into ruins.

That would be so suffocating for outsiders!

She was stunned and didn't say anything. Mu Canling actually took out another box that was exactly the same.

The box was opened, and an ice jade silkworm appeared inside again.

"Perhaps Yunxiao, you will like this one?" Mu Canling still smiled gently, as if he was not the one who wasted everything.

Gu Jiuqing, "..."

Is this thing for wholesale?

As if he had read her thoughts, Mu Canling said with a smile: "This thing is precious, but not that precious. After all, it is something that can be cultivated by human effort, so it is not that rare.

Just like the moonglow, isn't it also cultivated by the owner of Wuwu Valley? If it is cultivated too much, it will no longer be a priceless thing!

Just accept it, don't feel any pressure, so that I can repay your life-saving kindness."

His words successfully convinced Gu Jiuqing.

What he said is right, it is always difficult to repay a debt of gratitude.

What's more, he is also the prince of Xiliang.

They should not have too much involvement with each other.

The most important thing is that she is afraid that he will get crazy and burn this ice jade silkworm again.

Although it was not a waste of her efforts, she really felt sorry for the ice jade silkworm.

After thinking about this, Gu Jiuqing did not refuse.

When Gu Jiuqing walked out of his room with this thing, he couldn't help but feel like he was in a dream.

After walking only a few steps, he almost bumped into someone.

Fortunately, she stopped in time and saw Cang Liyuan looking at her with a half-smile.

"Get rich?" Cang Liyuan said with great interest.

"Are you spying on me?" Gu Jiuqing narrowed his eyes slightly.

"That's not the case, it's just that you have windfall written all over your face. It's hard for people not to notice." Cang Liyuan said.

Gu Jiuqing, "..."

In fact, she had no intention of hiding this from him.

So he simply showed the ice jade silkworm to him and said, "The king of Yue gave it to him, it can cure hundreds of poisons."

"It's a good thing, take it!" After Cang Liyuan finished speaking, he pushed the white jade box to her.

"To tell you the truth, I have tried to cultivate this kind of thing before. Just getting the larvae cost a lot of manpower and material resources!" Gu Jiuqing couldn't help but sigh.

It was a team effort, no matter the cost, to get an ice jade silkworm!

When Cang Liyuan heard this, he said quietly: "That's because you have never been to Xiliang, and Tiancan is a unique silkworm species there.

Almost everyone in Xiliang can cultivate ice jade silkworms, but this thing is too delicate and cannot easily circulate to the outside world, so it is precious.

It is not easy for the King of Yue to travel thousands of miles to bring him."

Gu Jiuqing, "..."

At this time, her mood was very complicated.

No wonder Mu Canling threw the ice jade silkworm into the charcoal fire without blinking an eye.

I'm sorry that the extremely precious things she has here are only worth the price of cabbage over there!

But this is not a bad thing, after all, the ice jade silkworms are a good antidote, the more the better!

"It's a pity that this thing is useless against the poison in your body." Gu Jiuqing sighed.

Otherwise, with Cang Liyuan's ability, he would have obtained the antidote from Xiliang long ago.

"It's indeed useless. All the detoxification tools in the world can't deal with this red practice poison." There was a bit of coldness in Cang Liyuan's eyes.

"The person who poisoned you is a master!" Gu Jiuqing said matter-of-factly, "I am very interested in him. Where is he now? Is he dead?"

Hearing this, Cang Liyuan shook his head and said softly: "Don't be in a hurry, I'll see you soon."

He didn't seem to want to mention this matter, so he said quietly: "I have arranged for you the person you want. Do you want to meet him?"

When he mentioned this, Gu Jiuqing cheered up instantly.

As Cang Liyuan left here, she soon saw the girl.

The girl looks to be in her twenties, and her whole body exudes a quiet and gentle temperament.

She didn't need to say anything, just standing there made people feel inexplicably comfortable.

"You are... looking for a lady!" Gu Jiuqing sighed.

"It seems that you are quite satisfied." Cang Liyuan said quietly, "Her name is Song Jinshu, and she is from Jiangnan. Because her parents died and her brother died young, she had no choice but to take all her wealth and go to Beijing to live with her grandmother."

Hearing this, Gu Jiuqing's eyes lit up and he said again: "But I think she is not young, so why is she not married?"
