Now that Shang Shu Manor was in such a big situation, even if he did not say anything, the Prince Chu would have guessed it. Instead, it would be better for him to speak of it first to gain the Prince Chu's trust.

"Miss Zhao, are you here for the theft?" Prince Chu's gaze dimmed, showing that she was thinking about it.

"That can't be, Qianyun came to see Prince Chu today mainly to clarify the matter between me and Decedent Nangong." Zhao Qianyun's voice was clear and melodious, like a oriole coming out of a valley. It was extremely pleasant to listen to, and coupled with that charming face, it made the man's heart go soft for a moment, and he was unable to extricate himself.

Prince Chu coughed lightly and subconsciously sat up.

Seeing that the Prince Chu had given him a chance to explain, Zhao Qianyun anxiously explained: "When the Chu Xiong Auction started, Qian Yun was fortunate enough to meet the His Highness The Crown Prince, and that she should be grateful to see the world, but who would have thought, that on the journey, they actually met Decedent Nan Gong, following that, Decedent Nan Gong sent people over to send letters inviting Qian Yun again and again, and Qian Yun was afraid of causing people to misunderstand, so she secretly met Decedent Nan Gong once, with a few words, just to stop Decedent Nan Gong from bothering Qian Yun."

"Qianyun knows. I'm afraid that if Qianyun speaks correctly, it will be hard to convince Prince Chu. However, every word she says is true. I hope that Prince Chu can investigate and find out that Qianyun is innocent." Zhao Qianyun's eyes were like water, causing the Prince Chu's heart to soften.

This...

The Prince Chu revealed a regretful expression. With an obscure gaze, he sized up Zhao Qianyun.

If not for finding one of the missing Spirit Grass s from the hands of the Nan Gong Decedent, he would probably believe Zhao Qianyun's lies.

"Miss Qianyun, please get up first. If this is really as Miss Qianyun says, This King will definitely return your innocence." Prince Chu personally helped Zhao Qianyun up, and after that, he had his servants escort Zhao Qianyun back to the residence.

When Zhao Qianyun left, Prince Chu's eyes immediately returned to normal and became cold and fierce.

If not for the lack of evidence, he would have long ago captured Minister Zhao and the others and taken them into custody!

This Zhao Qianyun was really bold, she actually dared to lie to him?

What kind of person was that Nangong Xu? He had thousands of beautiful and talented women in his mansion, how could he fancy her? Even if he did, he wouldn't invite them himself!

Moreover, if Nangong Xu truly sends someone to deliver the message at the inn three times, how could the crown prince not know about it? How could Zhao Qianyun say that there was no proof?

Wasn't that letter the best proof?

"Prince Chu, Nan Zhao Kingdom envoy requests an audience." Very quickly, the messengers of Nan Zhao Kingdom also came to see each other.

When Prince Chu heard it, his lips curled up complacently.

This matter was getting more and more interesting!

"Let him in."

Nan Zhao Kingdom.

When Nangong Xu found out that the Chu Kingdom Emperor suspected him of colluding with the nation, Nangong Xu himself began to panic!

As the saying goes, a dog would jump over a wall if he got anxious. Furthermore, he was only a Decedent and had yet to reach the position of emperor!

Furthermore, she had helped because she saw that he was not bad and was fond of her, so she specially made a few low levelled Pill to give to her.

Could it be that Zhao Qianyun was dragging her into the water on purpose?

Very quickly, the Nan Zhao Kingdom Envoys informed the Prince Chu of the whole situation.

After Prince Chu finished listening, the expression on his face was simply too marvelous.

If not for the fact that the had sent a messenger to explain the sequence of events, he would never have imagined that there would be so much drama involved!

Zhao Qianyun and Nangong Xu's way of speaking, was simply one for each of them!

Moreover, this Zhao Qianyun was really good at playing, she actually messed with the crown prince and Nangong Xu!

"Envoy, thank you for your hard work." After the Prince Chu had settled the envoys down, he gathered all the information he had and prepared to report it to the emperor tomorrow.

Murong Mansion.

After knowing that Zhao Qianyun and the envoys from the Nan Zhao Kingdom had gone to look for the Prince Chu one after another, Murong Xuan shouldn't be too happy.

She could almost imagine the conversation between Zhao Qianyun and the Nan Zhao Kingdom envoy.

However, the person she was most interested in was the dog-emperor.

He's pretty good at pretending to be sick, isn't he dying? Without elixirs, he's going to die? But when he found out that his precious elixir had disappeared, he jumped up from the bed with a "whoosh"?

Looking at the furious expression of the Emperor in the Minister Zhao Palace, his face was flushed red. Where was the sign of sickness?

"Miss, you've already eaten the eighth apple!" Cai Ling couldn't help but remind Murong Xuan when she saw him pick up another apple.

Miss has been eating more and more lately.

"Alright, alright, I won't eat anymore. Oh, by the way, can you help me wash the grapes? The one yesterday was a bit sour, but I won't buy the one next time." After Murong Xuan finished instructing, he lazily laid on the rocking chair and basked in the sun.

After Minister Zhao was done, she would have to take care of Murong Yunduo!

These two grasshoppers after autumn, I really want to get rid of them together!

Cai Ling speechlessly glanced at Murong Xuan, then helplessly went to prepare more food for Murong Xuan.

Miss's mouth, really without stopping.

Within the Consonance Academy.

After finding out what happened at the Minister Zhao Palace, a strange expression surfaced on Qi Yun's face, his complexion did not look any better. He did not understand, does the Emperor want to find the Glottidii Herba, or not?

Ever since the incident at the Shang Shu Manor, there had been no news from the Emperor's side. Prince Chu had also changed from the original leader of the team into the person in charge of investigating the case!

However, when he went to see the Emperor, he found that the Emperor was indeed on the verge of death. If he could not find the Glottidii Herba, the Emperor would not be able to live for long!

But unfortunately, everyone was so busy right now, and without the Prince Chu leading the way, no one dared to enter the Mountain of Magical Beasts!

He had to say that for someone like Qi Yun, it was really as the Emperor feared. The Emperor did not need to worry about the Emperor's illness, so why would Qi Yun worry about that?

If Murong Xuan knew about this, he would definitely scold Qi Yun!

Murong Mansion.

These few days, after she had not gone to the Mountain of Magical Beasts, Murong Yunduo had also calmed down quite a bit. She stayed indoors, reading all day and night, as if she was painstakingly studying to refine medicine.

After Murong Mo ate the Pill that Murong Xuan gave him, he had already started cultivating in seclusion.

As for the old man … During the course of cultivation, there was practically no need to eat, and even if there was a need to eat, Qianye Muyu's Dark Guard would still deliver food to them everyday.

Murong Xuan, who had finally settled down to rest, began to inquire about Zhao Qianyun's progress from time to time. At the same time, he was also observing Murong Yunduo's changes.

Little B * tch, you have to watch carefully. If you let her run away, then she'll regret it for the rest of her life!

The next morning, Prince Chu brought all the evidence he had gathered to the imperial court. At the same time, Zhao Qianyun was also announced to the emperor.

When Zhao Qianyun found out that the Emperor had summoned him, she became flustered and worried.

He did not know whether the Prince Chu believed him or not.

In the palace, Zhao Qianyun's entire body was trembling uncontrollably. She clasped her hands together and knelt down, bowing deeply towards the emperor. After that, she quietly knelt down and listened to the Prince Chu's report.

When Zhao Qianyun heard that a Nan Zhao Kingdom envoy had come to clear up her responsibilities, in an instant, she panicked. Her face turned pale, and her heart became even more uneasy.

How could this be?

Why did Nangong Xu send someone to clear up the responsibility?

"Zhao Qianyun, what else do you have to say for yourself?" Prince Chu frowned, and looked at Zhao Qianyun who was lying on the ground in puzzlement, a trace of despise and disgust flashed past her eyes at the same time.

Was this woman toying with all men as though they were fools?

"No, this subject has been wrongly accused, this subject has been wrongly accused! Prince Chu, this subject has indeed been in contact with Nan Gong Decedent, but this subject will definitely not steal his own treasures, I beg Your Majesty to observe this clearly!" Hearing this, Zhao Qianyun's heart immediately became anxious, as a strong sense of jealousy and grievance emerged from her heart.

It was true that she requested for the Pill from Nangong Xu, but she only wanted him to level up a little faster.

Hearing this, the entire audience burst into an uproar.

That said, Zhao Qianyun really asked Nangong Xu for the Pill?

Sneaking in contact with the enemy nation's Decedent, could it be that this Minister Zhao wanted to betray his country?

The daughter of a official had a good relationship with the enemy nation's Decedent, this … It was really hard to not let one's imagination run wild!

You are the daughter of a official, why would the dignified Decedent set his eyes on you? Just thinking about the reason behind this, you are truly thought-provoking!

"If you did not give the Spirit Grass to Nangong Xu, then why would Nangong Xu give you the Pill?" Prince Chu looked down at Zhao Qianyun and asked.

If she hadn't used spirit medicine to exchange with Nangong Xu, why would Nangong Xu have given her such a large group of Pill?

Hearing that, Zhao Qianyun immediately panicked in her heart.

She couldn't possibly say that she was the one who lured Nangong Xu, right?

However … However, if he did not speak the truth, then he would be found guilty of stealing the Emperor's Spirit Grass. If so, then both he and his father would surely be killed.

"I plead Prince Chu to be clear-headed, that Spirit Grass is an important Spirit Grass that the Emperor handed over to my father for safekeeping. How could we subjects dare to do such things as keeping an eye out for ourselves? The thief who stole the Spirit Grass this time is clearly Murong Xuan. " Seeing that she was going to die anyway, Zhao Qianyun decided to simply sell Murong Xuan out to gain everyone's attention and divert their attention.

No one in the entire Chu Kingdom knew that Murong Xuan knew how to use qi, but once the emperor found out that Murong Xuan knew how to use qi, all of his attention would be focused on the Murong Family. As for who the thief who stole the Spirit Grass was, it wouldn't be too late for him to investigate it after he got out of danger!

"Murong Xuan? Zhao Qianyun, this kind of framing is truly shameful! " Hearing that, the Prince Chu shook his sleeves indignantly, his face full of anger.

He knew that Murong Xuan knew martial arts, but it was precisely because he knew that made him angry!

If the Emperor were to find out that Murong Xuan knew battle qi, would Murong Xuan be safe and unharmed?

Thinking about it, Prince Chu was somewhat worried for Murong Xuan.

"Murong Xuan is a fool, he does not know how to use qi, this is something that everyone knows about in Chu Kingdom. Miss Zhao, are you making fun of all of us?" The Prime Minister let out an unhappy snort as well. It was the first time the two enemies had joined hands with a common enemy.
