Princess Xi Wei had been ill for a long time, and had passed away yesterday. When Yuwen Jingrui received the news, he was so angry that he nearly fainted. He was still thinking of going to Tian Qiong to propose to her! This Xi Wei died at the right time.

In Xuanyuan Zhi's study, Chu Qingyao had just sat down when the Seventh Jue entered.

"How is it?"

The Seventh Jue looked at Chu Qingyao, not knowing if he should speak.

"Speak!" Have the princess listen to it as well. "

"Your highness, this subordinate found a eunuch who was once a servant in the empress palace. According to him, after Xiang Er was beaten up by the empress, his throat became hoarse from the poison, and he was finally dragged out to be fed to the dogs."

Chu Qingyao was dumbstruck. This Bai Rouzhi was actually so malicious. She took a deep breath. "Prince, what is going on?"

"Xiang Er is missing. He might very well be dead."

"Are you suspecting the empress?" roasting king would definitely not care about a servant for no reason.

"Yes." Xuanyuan Zhi looked at Qi Jue, "Who threw that person?"

When he heard that someone had died, he came back in a hurry.

"Find the eunuch who threw Xiang Er out at the time and determine if she's dead or not." Xuanyuan Zhi felt that there must be something shameful with Bai Rouzhi, if not he would not have acted so viciously towards Xiang Er who was following her from a young age.

After the Seventh Jue left, Chu Qingyao asked, "Why do you suspect Bai Rouzhi?"

"She is too kind to the Crown Prince. Logically speaking, with her relationship with Empress Wang, she would definitely think of a way to get rid of the crown prince and help the others get on the throne. This was because the enthronement of the crown prince was the day Empress Wang would take place. This King does not believe that she would not be able to think of such a thing. "

"I also feel that she's not the same as before. The last few times I saw her, there was only killing intent in her eyes, but no jealousy."

"Jealous?" Xuanyuan Zhi's face darkened in displeasure.

"Bai Rouzhi admires Your Highness wholeheartedly. Your Highness is truly heartless." She didn't even notice the bitterness in her words.

Xuanyuan Zhi stared at her with a strange expression, then suddenly looked down, "Chu Qingyao, you're jealous!"

"Nope." She pushed him away, her face red. Seeing her running out of the study room, Xuanyuan Zhi's eyes were bright, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.

After returning to the Blue Luan Courtyard, Chu Qingyao stroked her hot face. She felt that she had lost a lot of face today, but was she really jealous? After calming down for a long time, she concentrated on researching the poison given by Xuanyuan Zhi. She wanted to help her find the ingredients before she left. Even if they couldn't concoct the antidote for him, others could as well.

After staying in the room for two days, He Lanxi came back.

"Thank you for what happened that day." He Lanxi felt awkward for a while, so he asked casually.

"Wouldn't you thank me if you didn't say so?" Chu Qingyao looked at her in amusement.

He Lanxi glared at her, "Chu Qingyao, don't be too complacent, Shi Yunshu is a famous talented girl in the capital, if she wants to cause trouble for you, you will have to take it."

Chu Qingyao did not think so, "I'm her elder, how could she dare to be disrespectful to me?" As long as she tightly held onto Xuanyuan Zhi, who could do anything to her.

He Lanxi was dissatisfied with her attitude, and did not forget his purpose in coming here, "Shi Yunshu was assassinated in the crown prince's mansion, be careful." Then he added, "If brother Zhi isn't here, don't embarrass him."

Is Xuanyuan Zhi out? Besides, she was not an imperial physician, so what did Shi Yunshu being assassinated have to do with her?

When she regained her senses, she realized that He Lanxi had already left. Not long after, someone from the palace came over. He said that he had received orders from the emperor for the Prince Zhi's Concubine to head to the crown prince's mansion to save the crown prince's consort.

Even the imperial physician was dead?

Chu Qingyao did not dare to disobey the decree, so she could only take the medicine box to the Crown Prince's Palace. When he got there, he saw the crown prince was dissatisfied, "Why did you take so long to get there?"

Chu Qingyao stopped, "If the Crown Prince thinks I'm slow, I'll just go back." She clearly hadn't wasted any time since the crown prince was looking for trouble.

"Chu Qingyao, you dare to disobey the decree?"

"Excuse me, crown prince. As soon as I received the news, I immediately appeared at the crown prince's mansion. What do you mean by disobeying the decree? If you continue to stand in my way and refuse to let me in to save people, you must be conceited about the consequences. " Chu Qingyao did not want to see Xuanyuan Rui at all.

The Crown Prince glared at her, before reluctantly retreating.

She came to her room and saw Shi Yunshu lying on the bed with his eyes closed. His face was pale as if he had lost all color, and a few imperial physicians were kneeling on the ground.

"Where is the injury?" she asked.

"There's a lot of blood coming out of my chest." An imperial physician replied.

"Retreat, all of you! What are you trash doing here?" The crown prince followed him in, venting all his anger on the imperial physician. The imperial physician retreated as if he'd received a pardon.

Seeing that Shi Yunshu's chest was injured, he turned around and said to the crown prince, "I still wish for the crown prince to go out first.

The Crown Prince sat down on a chair, "The Crown Princess is injured, is there a need to avoid me?" Seeing that Chu Qingyao did not say anything, he proudly said, "Chu Qingyao, are you trying to find an opportunity to kill Yunshu so that I can marry you?"

This idea... How shameless!

Chu Qingyao had already opened up the medical system, "Your Highness has been thinking too much, how do you know that I did not expect you to end the engagement? And please get out. If you continue to affect me here, it will be hard for me to guarantee that I can save the princess consort. "

The door was pushed open, and Xuanyuan Zhi walked in dressed in all black. Chu Qingyao was very calm as she gratefully looked over. However, Xuanyuan Zhi did not look at her, "Crown Prince, this king has something to talk about with you."

The Crown Prince looked at Chu Qingyao in dissatisfaction. If she couldn't get this woman into trouble, how could she get the favor of the roasting king? Inwardly unwilling, he had no choice but to follow them out.

Chu Qingyao was the only one left in the room. She hurried to stop the bleeding, but after just stopping, she had already come out. The injury was not very serious, and it did not hurt her heart. After applying the medicine and bandaging it, Shi Yunshu slowly opened his eyes.

"How are you feeling?" she asked.

Shi Yunshu's eyes seemed to be proud, "I'm doing very well. I just wanted to use this matter to tell you that no matter how powerful roasting king is, you aren't as powerful as the crown prince. For example, this time, you have to obediently come and save me just because of a decree. "

Chu Qingyao was stunned. She did not remember that she had a grudge with Shi Yunshu! Where did she get such great hostility from? In fact, Shi Yunshu's words had already been spoken on the day of the palace banquet.

Chu Qingyao said, "If you really enjoy the feeling of having the Prince Zhi's Concubine do things for you, I don't mind treating you everyday. It would be best if you get hurt a little more and get the Crown Prince to despise you."

Shi Yunshu was startled, he did not expect her to actually dare to refute him. Chu Qingyao didn't have the mood to play this sort of boring game with her, so she continued angrily, "I forgot to tell you, that cut on your chest is really ugly, and the scar marks will follow you for the rest of your life. Do you think the Crown Prince would mind?"

Shi Yunshu was enraged, "You must have done it on purpose? "You're so despicable." She still hadn't gotten married to the crown prince. What would the crown prince do if he saw the ugliness on her body on the night of their wedding? She didn't want to be sent into a cold palace as soon as she entered the crown prince's mansion.

Chu Qingyao intentionally glanced at her chest. "The imperial physician is right outside. You can call them in and ask if they have scars?" He deserved it.

She took out the medicine box with a happy heart, and saw Xuanyuan Zhi standing there with a solemn expression in her eyes. Her handsome face was expressionless, but she felt very warm. It's over? " he asked.

"Mm. The princess consort's injuries aren't that severe. She only needs to be wrapped up with medicine. I don't even know when the imperial physician became so useless." The crown prince's face stiffened. "Imperial Uncle, don't misunderstand. The crown prince's consort is a woman after all. It's really inconvenient for the imperial physician to make a move."

"There won't be a next time." Xuanyuan Zhi looked at the Crown Prince in warning, then dragged Chu Qingyao and left the Crown Prince's Palace.

On the way, Chu Qingyao kept thinking about where Shi Yunshu had gotten his enmity from. During the palace banquet, she said that I admire the roasting king very much and that I had no intention of becoming your enemy. However, my identity in the future is that of the princess consort, so please forgive me.

admire roasting king, admire... She seemed to have found the key.

"Xuanyuan Zhi, if I say that Shi Yunshu likes you, would you believe me?"

"Nonsense." Xuanyuan Zhi didn't even know what Shi Yunshu looked like, so even if he had seen him before, he wouldn't take it to heart.

"But she clearly told me that she admires you."

"And then?" Xuanyuan Zhi stopped in his tracks with a playful look in his eyes.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say out Shi Yunshu's provocation, but felt that it was a matter between two women. He decided to just shut up and walk with his head down.

Xuanyuan Zhileng's face showed that he was unhappy, he did not wait for her in front of the carriage, but when he was seated, he saw that she was still standing below and pulled her up.

When the carriage began to move, his voice could be heard, "It's useless to admire This King. This King has to be interested in her."

Chu Qingyao's face suddenly turned red, she felt that it would be awkward if someone could guess this secret. When she had guessed why Shi Yunshu was acting this way, she had especially wanted to know what Xuanyuan Zhi was thinking about and whether he was paying attention to her or not.

She suddenly raised her head. "Then does Your Highness also admire her?"

Xuanyuan Zhi's face froze. Why didn't he previously realize that this woman was so stupid? He closed his eyes in dissatisfaction, listening to the sounds of the horses' hooves outside. The carriage stopped outside the Prince Zhi's Mansion. He opened his eyes that were as deep as the sea and said, "This king still has matters to attend to. You can go in by yourself."

Seeing that Chu Qingyao had disappeared into the manor, he jumped off the carriage and quickly arrived at Spring Wind Pavilion.

I heard that a few months ago, Spring Wind Pavilion sent a new person. Xuanyuan Zhi directly walked into the private room, and Qi Sha quickly brought the mute girl over. When the mute girl saw Xuanyuan Zhi, she immediately rushed forward and screamed non-stop.

Qi Sha took out his sword and blocked her from three steps away. With just a glance, Xuanyuan Zhi recognized that the mute girl was Bai Rouzhi's personal maid, Xiang Er. I know you are Xiang Er, what words do you have to say? "

Seeing that he had recognized her, Xiang Er dropped to his knees, kowtowing and crying while his mouth continued to moan non-stop. Xuanyuan Zhi looked at Qi Sha, "Go and get the pen and paper."

Xiang Er was a girl that the Bai Family had carefully nurtured and was Bai Rouzhi's right-hand man. Xiang Er only calmed down after he handed the pen to her.

She wiped away her tears, but before she could write on, her face was filled with tears again. She seemed to have suffered too many grievances. The instant she wiped away her tears, Xuanyuan Zhi saw the complicated whip marks on her arm.
