The moment Beichen had just returned to the King's Mansion, the shadow handed him the carrier pigeon. Beichen looked at the two of them in his hands and clenched his fist tightly. The carrier pigeon struggled in pain, and just as the pigeon was about to die, he gave up and brought the pigeon inside.

"Han, you're back." When Bai Qian saw Bei Chen Han coming forward, Su Nuo, who was looking down from behind, was shocked.

Bei Chen Han saw Su Nuo's reaction clearly, he held the pigeon in his hand forward: "Qian'Er, I caught a pigeon on the road, do you want to play with it?"

Xiao Bai smiled faintly. "Since I'm already so old, give it to Xiao'er. It just so happens that she is bored to death."

Su Nuo suddenly raised her head and saw that the pigeon in Beichen's hand was exactly the same as the one she had released. A chill went down her spine as Bei Chen Han laughed, "True." He then walked over to Su Nuo and shoved the pigeon into her hands. However, the moment he touched Su Nuo's hand, he felt a huge force. The sudden pain caused Su Nuo to come back to her senses.

"Xiao'er, this is so fun, don't let it fly away. However, it doesn't matter if you let it go by accident. There are many people in the manor helping you capture it." Bei Chen Han said and smiled at Su Nuo. That smile was not close to Su Nuo, but it was undoubtedly the smile of a demon.

But unfortunately, only Su Nuo saw it.

The pigeon in Su Nuo's hand was on the verge of death. He could feel it and perhaps could not survive past night. But at this moment, Su Nuo was filled with an unprecedented fear.

As for her, she was the butterfly trapped in the darkness. She had lost its wings and was stuck to the spider web. No matter how she struggled, she could not escape.

Even when Bei Chen Han left, Su Nuo did not utter a single word.

The carrier pigeon, Su Nuo discovered it had died the next morning. Looking at the dead carrier pigeon, Su Nuo did not know what to do. More accurately, it was like a frightened child.

As long as there was a white light, there would definitely be a Su Nuo. Even if it was a white light lavatory, the servants of the house would not be envious of these two sisters who were very close to each other. There were even some bold maidservants who would joke around with Su Nuo.

All that was left was a very negative thought. Hopefully, that person would come back and pick her up from here.

It was impossible for her to speak her own words.

In the palace.

"Your majesty." When the chief eunuch saw that Beichen cough out such a large mouthful of blood again, he felt his heart tremble. These days, the blood he coughed out had increased in volume, and he was now a lot thinner than before, his eyes slightly opened.

Bei Chenyan waved his hand, "How is the matter with the imperial court?"

Upon hearing his question, the chief eunuch hurriedly kneeled down and stammered, "Minister, all the ministers have sent a letter to the Second Prince to represent the court!" With that, the chief eunuch lowered his head, waiting for Beichen's anger.

Beichen was stunned, and then the entire chamber fell into silence.

The chief eunuch waited with difficulty. Suddenly, Bei Chen Yan's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Your majesty, what's wrong?" The chief eunuch hurried forward.

Bei Zhen Yan pushed him away, his chest breathing heavily. His originally unsightly face was now devoid of blood. "He, he …"

Bei Zhen Yan was so excited that he couldn't speak, and the chief eunuch was so scared that he didn't dare to say another word.

Crash! *

Bei Chenyan's chest was still heaving, but his expression was gradually calming down. In the end, he said with a hint of sadness: "It was him who poisoned them."

When the Chief Eunuch heard this, he was shocked.

Bei Chen Yan laughed: "I knew it, I knew it, he is a wolf, a wolf that bit down viciously."

The chief eunuch was foolish enough to know that Bei Chen Yan was speaking, but this sort of thing was not something he could talk about.

"But I didn't expect him to be so heartless. There are so many citizens in the capital, and yet he is going to do this." Bei Chenyan's eyes were filled with grief.

The eunuch's face was filled with shock, "Second Prince, it's the Second Prince's plague."

According to the investigation, nearly half of the people in the capital suffered from such symptoms.

"No, he has no heart at all." Bei Chen Yan said while grinding his teeth.

"Then, your majesty, if the emperor were to discuss this with the Second Prince, the Second Prince might come up with an antidote." The chief eunuch spoke incoherently. Throughout history, many princes and princes had tried all sorts of methods to fight for the throne. However, there had never been someone like Bei Chen Han, who had sacrificed so many innocent commoners.

Bei Chenyan laughed coldly, "Ask him to bring out the antidote. If he intends to take it out, then the symptoms of the poison won't look like wind chill and everyone will be unable to guard against it. If he intends to negotiate with me, then he won't turn this poison into a frightening plague."

The chief eunuch was momentarily speechless.

"He wanted to use this unprecedented plague to create a false impression, to sweep away all the factions that opposed him, and to naturally open up a dynasty for him when he ascended the throne. So, he didn't develop any antidote for this poison." Bei Zhen Yan said the last word as if he had used all the strength he had in his life.

"But, there's still the crown prince." The chief eunuch thought of Duke Beichen.

When Beichen heard the name, he tried to get up from the bed, but before he could, he started coughing violently, and large mouthfuls of blood flowed out from his mouth. The chief eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to help him get off the bed, "Your Majesty, don't worry, there will be a way, there will be a way."

Bei Zhen Yan shook his head: "It's too late, I underestimated him. I thought he already dissolved his authority, but that was just an illusion he made for me. I'm afraid now, he has already taken control of the entire palace." Suddenly, Bei Chen Yan grabbed the chief eunuch's hand tightly, giving him a big fright. Bei Chen Yan said: "We cannot let our lord return, we absolutely cannot let our lord return. His next target is my lord, if my lord returns, it is equivalent to jumping into a pit of fire."

Bei Chen Yan was not clear on this point, but the eunuch also understood that this place belonged to the crown prince. The emperor's power had been almost completely suppressed and poisoned, and if the Duke of Bei Chen came back now, he had no intention of fighting the army alone, then, how could he have a chance of winning?

"I'll go inform the crown prince right away." The chief eunuch said he was leaving.

Bei Chen Yan did not let him go: "It's useless, it's useless."

The chief eunuch was puzzled. "To have the Umbra send out a letter should not be difficult. Moreover, they don't know that Your Majesty has already seen through this trick."

Bei Chenyan still shook his head, "It's no use, my son will definitely come back. As long as Su Nuo is still in the capital, he will definitely come back. Even if this is the eighteenth layer of hell, he won't even blink."

Hearing Bei Chen Yan's words, the Chief Eunuch also thought of Su Nuo.

Suddenly, Bei Chenyan said, "Quickly get someone to bring Su Nuo over. Don't alert anyone and get out through the secret passage."

Chief Eunuch nodded his head cautiously. "Your Majesty, I will definitely bring Su Nuo over." Bei Chenyan nodded his head, and the Chief Eunuch left through the hidden stone door.

In the empty bedroom, no one saw Beichen's old and sad eyes. He suddenly became so old that he could not even be described as an old man.

Thinking like this, Su Nuo turned around and walked into the west wing room. The moment she entered the room, she was immediately covered by her mouth, causing Su Nuo to be shocked and instinctively struggle. The shadow tightly covered Su Nuo's mouth, and the head eunuch at the side looked at Su Nuo and said, "Miss Su, I have no ill intentions.

Su Nuo looked at him doubtfully. She indeed looked familiar. The chief eunuch paused for a moment before adding, "This matter concerns the Crown Prince's consolation.

Su Nuo calmed down and the Umbra let her go. Su Nuo quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"The crown prince is fine, but if Miss Su doesn't cooperate with us, the crown prince will be in big trouble." He paused, "I can't keep my life."

"I will definitely cooperate. I will definitely cooperate well." Su Nuo didn't even think about it.

"Then I ask Miss Su to follow me now." Su Nuo nodded and followed them.

Bai Qian looked outside. "Strange."

"What's wrong, Qian'Er?" Bei Chenghan took a book from the bookshelf.

"Nona has been following me since the start, and she hasn't seen me since. Could something have happened?" Bai Qian was worried.

Beichen smiled, "I won't." A light flashed in Bai Qian's eyes, but he wasn't able to see it. "When I came here just now, I saw someone looking for Na'er. I think he's here to chat with her."

"So it's like that." Bai Qian felt a lot more at ease.

Beichen nodded, and then added in an inexplicable manner, "I think we'll be talking for a long time."

"I don't usually have any friends, so I should go have fun." Bai Qian said.

Bei Chen Han agreed and said: "Qian'Er, I need to go out for a while. Don't wait for me for dinner tonight."

Bai Qian nodded with a gentle smile.

In the palace.

"Your majesty, why are you looking for Nore?" Su Nuo was surprised to see Bei Chen Yan so sick.

When Beichen saw Su Nuo, he seemed to have seen his savior. He struggled to get up from the bed, but the moment he moved, he began to cough, and fresh red blood began to flow out from the gaps between his fingers. Su Nuo looked on in a daze, and opened her mouth, "Your majesty, you, you've gotten it too, this disease."

Bei Chenyan's cough was somewhat better as he said: "It's not an illness, it's poison."

This shocking statement caused Su Nuo to widen her eyes in disbelief.

Bei Chen Yan continued: "It was Bei Chen Han who poisoned him."

"Impossible." Su Nuo instinctively retorted.

"It's true, Miss Su. In order to obtain the throne, the Second Prince poisoned everyone and everyone thought that it was a plague. That way, many people who opposed him would die in the midst of this plague, and with the addition of the large number of dead commoners in the capital, no one would ever doubt the authenticity of the place anymore. At that time, the Second Prince would be able to obtain everything he wanted." The chief eunuch said.
