Duan Xiaohe didn't dare to make eye contact with Qin Rui for too long, so she could only focus her burning gaze on Manager Zhang. But Manager Zhang only had Qin Rui in his heart, he could not see the way she and little young master, the two people who were about to die, were staring at him.

Moreover, he was even the ruler of a nation. The little emperor Liu Yang had really asked people to let Qin Rui go. Seeing that, the noble look on his face that was just mentioned suddenly became lifeless again. He blurted out an order for Qin Rui to bring him along.

Qin Rui looked like he had a hard time giving up. Manager Zhang urged him in a low voice, but in reality, he had clearly recited all of the schemes that he had to reveal.

He would not have to worry about not having any firewood to burn, and his life would be much more valuable. He would not have to make any fearless sacrifices, and would rather live a good life in seclusion outside the barrier, and so on.

Finally, Qin Rui powerlessly lowered his tightly clenched fists and ignored little young master's pleas. He didn't even look at Duan Xiaohe as he walked out with large strides.

Manager Zhang followed closely behind Qin Rui, afraid that the Little Emperor would release black arrows from his back.

Once they were out of the Minister's Mansion, Manager Zhang asked for two fast horses by name and even opened the city gates wide to let them go before agreeing to give Duan Xiaohe the antidote.

Mo Jinyuan asked the little Emperor for permission and personally sent him to the east gate of the capital. The little emperor who was still in the Minister's Mansion had his sinful little young master of the previous dynasty brought over. He then called for the imperial physician to help her take a look and apply the medicine.

"Is there any way to cure the poison in her body?"

The Imperial Physician was already shocked when he saw Duan Xiaohe's face. All the servants in the palace were good people, so what shouldn't be said should not be said, and what shouldn't be asked shouldn't be asked. He knew there was something fishy going on here, but there were also rumors in the palace. How could he not be surprised when he saw it? Now that he heard the little emperor's words, his heart jumped and he wiped off his cold sweat in fright.

"This person … "He was not poisoned. He was just frightened."

WHAT?

He was not poisoned!

"But the pill he stuffed in my mouth did smell of medicine."

The imperial physician shook his head and said: "Any poisonous medicine that Great Chong sees will either turn into powder or make water. Even if it really is a poisonous pill, it wouldn't have such an obvious medicinal smell. "You don't understand medicine, but you can detect the smell so clearly …"

The Imperial Physician shook his head and spoke a bunch of special medical language. Seeing that she didn't understand, he explained it a little more simply. He said something about a color smell that was easy to distinguish and the aftertaste of swallowing.

Duan Xiaohe was f * cking lucky, how could this medicine have any aftereffects? But when she thought back carefully, it was indeed as he said. Even the aftertaste was exactly the same.

The imperial physician nodded with confidence. "That's it. This is just a pill to strengthen the spleen and stomach. Any medicine store would sell it. It's not some poison."

Dammit!

Duan Xiaohe gnashed her teeth, and casually threw the imperial physician's medical bag out. That old dog named Zhang dared to play with her. He had made her fear him for so many days, but he was simply too inhumane!

The imperial physician, who had always been apprehensive, was startled by her actions and subconsciously looked at the little emperor. The little Emperor was also looking at her with a heavy gaze that didn't show whether he was happy or angry.

Duan Xiaohe was really furious, the things that she could not understand started to make sense. The reason why Manager Zhang lied to her was actually just to tie her together with them. Manager Zhang was afraid that she would choose the little emperor and did not care about Qin Rui's life. She even intentionally revealed the news that Qin Rui had been caught by the little emperor and revealed it, causing her to feel guilty.

The matter had developed to the point where the Manager Zhang left quickly and slowly when he went to look for him. He would pull him along with his two times, probably because he wanted to shake off the people following behind them. If she was not poisoned at that time, then the moment they found the little young master, their heads would have already fallen to the ground.

Thinking about that, Duan Xiaohe's heart became nervous, and she immediately felt grateful towards the pill she ate.

Manager Zhang was afraid that they would not be able to leave the capital, so he suggested that they should wait until they reached the city gates before giving them the antidote. Who would have thought that Manager Zhang, who dared to come to the tiger's mouth alone, would make a fool of everyone.

Sure enough, when Mo Jinyuan brought the people back, his expression was extremely gloomy, and he treated Duan Xiaohe even worse. Duan Xiaohe was extremely helpless in her heart, she was also a victim in this matter, who the hell would want to be scared off by someone using a pill?

In truth, Manager Zhang was not doing this kind of thing, if she had known about it beforehand, she would have been more than willing to cooperate. After all, she didn't want anything to happen to Qin Rui, she really wanted to save him.

"We did not arrange any men outside the capital for fear that they might run far away. This official has already sent someone to chase them."

Duan Xiaohe's heart tensed up again. They were really going to kill them all.

Liu Yang, the little emperor, had his gaze tightly locked onto her the entire time, as if he had detected the anxiety within her heart. Duan Xiaohe shuddered, "I swear, I'm really not in the same group as him, I'm also a victim."

He told Mo Jinyuan to go out while he sat down on the best wooden chair in Mo Jinyuan's study.

"You hate me just now, right?"

What the hell? Duan Xiaohe was startled, he changed the topic and caught her off guard.

She speculated in her heart for a while, thinking that the little emperor was probably testing her to see if she could exterminate Qin Rui completely.

"When I said I didn't care, there was despair in your eyes. You can't be an emperor if you're not ruthless. I've been in the palace for so long, what have I not seen? "I had originally thought that I did not care about anything at all. However, when I saw you in that moment, I realized that I was not truly immune to poisons. Your life, I wanted to save."

He paused for a moment, finally willing himself to look away and to look into the distance.

"When I was a child, I often heard the old people in the palace say that she was being bullied by the Empress Dowager again. There were several times where her life hung by a thread, but her royal father simply could not rush over, nor could he rush over to save her. I saw you with that dagger against your neck, and then I thought of her. Ever since I found out that you and I were the same mother and father, I purposely stopped asking about you and didn't allow anyone to get any information about you. Their focus is on me. As long as I don't care, they will never find out about you. Unexpectedly, I was still one step off. The death of Duan Mingjiang and your foster mother … I have already made Mo Qing treat his children well. "

Duan Xiaohe felt as if she had something stuck in her throat. When Manager Zhang held the dagger against her neck, she had already forgotten if she had fallen into despair or not. But she remembered that when Old Man Duan was killed and his Lady Wang hung, she had truly despaired and hated him.

She was experiencing that feeling again, and it wasn't very pleasant for her.

"He stood up and walked over to her step by step, looking straight at her." I am an emperor. Even if I have to care about something, before the world and the people, I still have to know how to choose. You should be the one who understands me the best. "

The person who understood him the best?

The Little Emperor only wanted her to tell him everything related to Qin Rui. Duan Xiaohe only felt a suffocating pain in her chest. She stood up, walked to the window and took a deep breath.

"I know I have a brother of my own, but I never thought of myself as a noble princess. I'm just a country bumpkin. I just want to live my life in peace and quiet. Even if you are the monarch, I'm just a commoner under your care. Indeed, Qin Rui and I know each other, and I know a few things, but I do not want to be involved in this mess. Liu Yang, I am only Duan Xiaohe. My family is still in the country, they are your people, and I hope you can be the one who understands me the best. "

In the blink of an eye, a person wearing a beautiful dress that exuded a noble aura walked over. However, before he could even get close to the study, he was stopped by someone.

Duan Xiaohe steadied his heart and told her everything she knew about Qin Rui, not concealing anything. Even if she hadn't said it, he would have investigated it herself. Since it was already like this, she might as well say it herself. She could still leave a magnanimous appearance in the little Emperor's heart.

Liu Yang will not go to court early today, so after hearing her finish speaking to Qin Rui, he fell silent for a moment, then said coldly: "Between you and me, between you and Qin Rui, who should you side with? Even if you don't love being a rich country woman, you can't deny that you and I are blood relatives that can't be separated from each other for the rest of our lives. Do you think he cares about someone who was left behind by the imperial concubine from the previous dynasty? Since he was able to escape from my hands today, he will definitely return tomorrow. At that time, even if there is such a situation, how could I be soft-hearted? If Qin Rui comes back in the future, you better stay away from him. "

The warning in his last sentence was extremely strong. It was impossible for Duan Xiaohe to pretend that she did not understand.

Liu Yang silently looked at her for a while, and only said that he would bring her to the palace in two days, and then, he left Mo Jinyuan's study just like that.

The moment he left, the guards outside all retreated. Little County Princess ran in like the wind and raised her chin to look at the wound on her neck that had just been smeared with medicine.

"This bunch of trash, it's fine if they run, but how can they let you injure them!"

Little County Princess's eyes turned red as if he was crying. Duan Xiaohe tugged at her collar, but it couldn't even get a scratch on her, so she asked her why she was here.

"This is my house, why can't I come? Last night, when there was such a big commotion, and Mo Jinyuan, that son of a b * tch, locked me in his room, only this morning did I hear that something had happened to you. " "She paused for a moment and then loosened the corner of his lower lip." Is Qin Rui really a traitor of the previous dynasty? "

There was no need to hide it anymore, Duan Xiaohe nodded her head. Little County Princess was stunned for a moment, then suddenly hugged her and started crying. She didn't know how to comfort him, and blurted out the words, "Qin Rui isn't your good man, Mo Jinyuan is your husband."

Hearing these words, Little County Princess cried even more sorrowfully, until half of her shoulder was wet with tears.

"Will Qin Rui rebel?"

Duan Xiaohe opened her mouth but she did not know how to answer, as she already had an answer in her heart.
