Xuan Yuan Luo's anxious reaction, indeed made others suspicious.
Nan Gong Ling Yun and Mu Rong Qing couldn't help but mock him at the same time.
Eighth Prince who had always been accompanying the Empress Dowager, had actually spoken up at this time, and helped Su Xia Yue to oppose Xuan Yuan Luo.
When Xuan Yuan Luo heard the Emperor speak, no matter how anxious he was, he did not dare speak. He could only clench his fists, grit his teeth and return to his seat.
However, even a blind person could see that his expression was as if he was sitting on pins and needles. It was obvious that he was feeling guilty.
Chi Luo Sheng had obtained the personal approval of the emperor, so he could finally finish his words.
"Although Miss Su has already accepted this servant girl, when she temporarily leaves, Miss Su stealthily said a few words to me. She actually told me to secretly investigate this Xiao E's background."
Even from his seat, Xuan Yuan Luo couldn't help but let out a low snort, and said with a sneer: "If it's like you're saying, from taking that servant girl to telling you to investigate in private, it still hasn't been more than four hours. What kind of background do you have?"
At this time, Chi Luo Sheng smiled slightly.
"I'm sorry, Second Prince. My family has a lot of people, so investigating this matter is a piece of cake!" Furthermore, before I came to the Court Feast, I had already captured two of the guards from the Hibiscus Courtyard who had been chasing that Xiao E back then and now, you two can go to my residence to bring those two over for interrogation. "
"Hua!"
All the officials and the nobles' young masters and ladies exclaimed in surprise. They never thought that Su Xia Yue would have such a strategy. Even more so, they never thought that Chi Luo Sheng, this gentle and weak scholar, would actually be able to move so quickly.
Hearing this, the king immediately sent people to the Chi Mansion to find someone.
However, it would still take about an hour for him to leave the palace and bring his men back. While they were waiting, Su Xia Yue had already taken out a pill and fed it to Xiao Qi.
Everyone could not help but turn to look at Su Xia Yue as they discussed amongst themselves.
"It's possible that she's the one who poisoned Little Seven. Now she's putting on an act and giving the antidote to that Miss Qi. She really knows how to act!"
"Exactly! If she can't cure us with the medicine that she took later, shouldn't she explain it to us again? "
"That's right, that's right! "A glib tongue."
"…"
Amidst these doubtful voices, Xu Man Qi, who had just swallowed the pill not long ago, actually moved his finger like this. Then he slowly opened his eyes under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
"Cough cough cough, what's going on? I just ate two grapes and the pain made me faint? "Hahaha, this is too rare!"
Xu Man Qi still acted as if he was not in his best condition, as he held the back of his head and happily stood up.
Only when she stood up did she realize that it was a mess. There were guards everywhere with steel knives in their hands. The sharp blades had already left the scabbards' sheaths. It seemed as if he could kill a few people at any moment. When he looked down again, he saw the corpses of assassins everywhere, as well as some dead young masters and young madams.
Xiao Qi immediately screamed out in fear and in a flash, she jumped back to Su Xia Yue's side.
"Aiya! Sister Su, I'm not dreaming right? In the blink of an eye, I turned this place into a purgatory of the human realm. "
"Hurry up and wake up!" You were poisoned by the Crane Head Red and you almost died. If it wasn't for me giving you the antidote, you would have already reported to the Yama Hall. " Su Xia Yue lightly tapped Xiao Qi's forehead, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her.
When Xiao Qi heard this, she was so scared that her face turned pale and her body tightened.
Everyone was also surprised.
"Red Crane Head. Isn't that highly toxic? Once you enter the throat, you will die! How could she still be alive? "
"Exactly! That Su Xia Yue's antidote is so powerful! "It is simply the return of a wonderful skill!"
"No wonder she could become the Principal of the Hundred Herb Hall Academy. It looks like she really has some ability!"
"…"
These people who had a different opinion of Su Xia Yue did not say much. Leng Wan Xiang retorted sharply.
She hid her blade behind her smile and looked at Su Xia Yue, saying faintly: "If it wasn't for the poison, how could the poison have been detoxified so quickly?"
Hearing that, Su Xia Yue just laughed.
The moment he opened his mouth, he directly answered Leng Wan Xiang, "According to your logic, all of the doctors in this world must have poisoned themselves before coming to detoxify the patients, right?"
"Pfft, hahaha!"
The crowd burst out in unrestrained laughter, obviously no one believed Leng Wan Xiang's deduction.
Leng Wan Xiang brought shame upon himself, and angrily glared at Su Xia Yue, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
As to who exactly was the culprit, Su Xia Yue was also very clear about that as well. However, it was not the time to say it yet. She only faintly looked in the direction of the Eighth Prince, her eyes revealing a trace of strangeness.
At this time, the two guards who had brought the guards from the Hibiscus Courtyard had returned.
The two thugs had been tied up and their faces were bruised. The guard pushed him to the center of the crowd, and as soon as he landed, he shouted in panic.
"This has nothing to do with us, we are innocent!"
"That's right, we only took money from people to deal with disasters, we didn't do anything that would harm the heavens and the earth!"
"…"
Su Xia Yue laughed coldly, walked up and said: "If you don't tell us who ordered all of you to do so, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave today."
Just as the two Eternal Phoenix Restaurant thugs were about to continue fighting to the death, Nan Gong Ling Yun opened his mouth.
"I know these two. They are the secret guards in the Second Prince's Palace. They are not the henchmen of the Hibiscus Mansion."
"Hua!"
Everyone exclaimed and immediately turned to look at Xuan Yuan Luo.
At this moment, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he was panting heavily. It was unknown whether he was angry or nervous, but even his hands were trembling slightly.
