In the Main Hall of the Eastern Palace, Chu Yizhao had skimmed through the secret letter and exclaimed, "Third brother really has martial arts?"

Xu Chang said softly: "Bi Su is intelligent, and is always so calm. This old subject believes that she would not be mistaken."

Chu Yizhao could not help but take in a breath of cold air. "Third brother knows martial arts? He had not invented the fact that many people were present in the palace when he broke his leg. His leg wound had been diagnosed by all the imperial physicians. There was no way it could be fake! When did he cure his broken leg and learn kung fu? What's more, his body had indeed been very weak all these years, and this was all an act? I find it hard to believe! "

Xu Chang was still calm and unhurried as he said in a soft voice, "But Your Highness has been feeling the threat from the Prince Qi all this time, right?"

"That's right!" Chu Yizhao frowned, "I don't know why, but I can clearly see that my third brother's body is extremely weak, but every time I think of him, I still feel uneasy … Could it be that he really has a problem? "

"Your Highness, please be at ease."

Chu Yizhao slowly stood up and walked a few steps with his head lowered, "Relax? "If third brother is really so secretive, how can I be at ease …"

"With this old official here, and so many colleagues loyal to the Eastern Palace, we will definitely help His Highness to successfully ascend to the throne."

Chu Yizhao once again sat down, and slowly calmed down. He raised his eyes and looked at Xu Chang: "Since Third Brother is hiding his strength, I'm afraid that you have to eliminate the problem of Su Family, right?"

Xu Chang nodded: "Of course."

Chu Yizhao frowned: "With the Fragrance Pavillion incident, we could have helped National Duke with it. But why did Crown’s Master allow us to delay our movement?"

"Your Highness, don't worry." Xu Chang said calmly, "Earlier, regarding the gently stopping of the food, the entire Ji City was talking about it, saying that the Prince Qi was trying to win over the hearts of the people, and that he was intentionally competing with Your Highness for the authority of the Emperor, although in terms of public opinion it was slightly disadvantageous to the Prince Qi, but it also did not have a good effect on the Eastern Palace. As long as the Eastern Palace took action, people would not think that the Eastern Palace was taking revenge on the food provided by the Prince Qi, and it would seem that Your Highness is too narrow-minded, unable to tolerate anyone."

"Understood." Chu Yizhao muttered to himself, "Therefore, if the Eastern Palace were to help the National Duke this time, there will definitely be people who believe that the Eastern Palace is making use of this opportunity to take revenge."

Xu Chang stood up silently, lifted his robes and knelt down: "Regarding the food, I did not do it well, I am willing to accept the punishment in place of my daughter, and ask the Crown Prince to punish me."

Chu Yizhao immediately helped Xu Chang up. "I am not blaming Miss Rou Zhi, Crown’s Master does not need to ask for forgiveness. It's fine to delay the operation, but taking down the Su Family is only a matter of time. I am not in a hurry, and there is no need to lose the will of the people because of such a small matter.

Xu Chang was pleased: "Your Highness, this old subject is really pleased with you for thinking so. In the future, when your highness ascends the throne, he will also be an enlightened ruler, and will be loved and respected by the people of the world. "

Chu Yizhao laughed and said, "I have never forgotten the teachings of the Crown’s Master that have been passed down for many years. However, if I don't use my Su Family now, it will inevitably not increase my Su Family. It's not likely that Miss Qinshui's situation in the Prince Qi Palace will be good again! "

"It's fine even if I have to suffer some grievances to scheme for His Highness."

"However," Chu Yizhao's eyes shined, "Ever since that incident with the poison, Lady Ruoxi's personality has greatly changed. Crown’s Master is confident that she can control the situation in Prince Qi's residence."

Xu Chang lowered his eyes and said: "Your Highness, don't worry. Everything is within this old subject's control."

Chu Yizhao looked at Xu Chang for a long time, then nodded: "That's good."

Prince Qi Palace. had just woken up to eat lunch and Su Leyao had already come back.

Seeing this uninvited guest, Warm Xiang was startled, and vigilantly stood to the side of Xu Rouzhi: "Royal Concubine …"

Su Leyao looked at Xu Rouzhi and knelt down silently.

"Yo, what's going on?" Xu Rouzhi's tone was clearly very surprised, "Mrs. Su, what are you trying to say?"

"In the morning, I originally came to pay my respects to the wangfei, but … However, she had rudely contradicted the wangfei, Le Yao had especially come to take the responsibility of asking for her punishment. " Su Leyao had already restrained her edge at this time. Her expression was sincere and her tone was low-key.

"Accept your punishment?" Xu Rouzhi looked behind Su Leyao, "Where's Jing?"

Su Leyao was startled, she raised her head and looked at Xu Rouzhi, forcefully suppressing the discontent in her heart, and smiled slightly: "Leyao sincerely wants to apologize to the wangfei, I hope that she can forgive me, and not argue with Leyao."

"Oh, so sincere!" Xu Rouzhi glanced at Su Leyao, and laughed: "Since Mrs. Su is sincere, then get up and sit! I don't want others to say that I took advantage of the prince's absence to bully Mrs. Su. "

Su Leyao understood what Xu Rouzhi meant. "Le Yao also doesn't dare to take advantage of the prince's absence to disrespect the wangfei."

Xu Rouzhi sneered, and pointed to the table in front of him: I just had lunch, do you want some Mrs. Su?

Su Leyao looked at the leftovers from the soup on the table, feeling annoyed. She thought, how dare you tell me to eat your leftovers! However, she didn't come this time to argue back, so she coughed dryly and said, "Leyao has already eaten. It's already late, so why would the wangfei eat lunch?"

Xu Rouzhi also coughed dryly, "It was all because I was too tired last night and slept on the bed until just now."

Why did Xu Rouzhi's "I was too tired last night" sound so ear-piercing to me? Su Leyao felt that Xu Rouzhi was obviously showing off to her, which made her feel a little angry in her heart.

Show off? Let's see how long Xu Rouzhi can last!

Thinking about it this way, Su Leyao's face revealed a slight smile, "The prince's wife loves me, this is a good thing."

Xu Rouzhi said in surprise: "I am referring to the matter of the assassin who came last night."

Su Leyao stared blankly, but she suddenly felt weak in her heart: "Last night … An assassin, I wonder who sent him? "

Xu Rouzhi said with a helpless look on her face, "Those assassins wouldn't admit it even if they died. I really don't know what kind of background they have. But after thinking about it, who could possibly hate me so much that they would want to take my life? "

Su Leyao quickly replied: "Le Yao doesn't dare."

Xu Rouzhi looked at Su Leyao: "Mrs. Su, don't worry, I won't wrongly accuse a good person."

Just as Su Leyao was about to say yes, Xu Rouzhi continued, "However, I will not let this bad guy go either."

Su Leyao's face froze for a moment, she was used to being arrogant, she was the only one who spoke so harshly to others, how could she bear to be spoken to like them!

Xu Rouzhi will not let her go? She will not let Xu Rouzhi go!

If not for the two experts that her big brother Su Guogang had brought out who showed up earlier in Monoculture, she would not have come over to lower her voice to Xu Rouzhi when she was not helping her to settle Tang Yuan and Xu Fengsheng!

Forcefully suppressing her anger, Su Leyao got up, picked up the teapot, gently poured a cup of tea, and carried it in front of Xu Rouzhi: "Previously, you were always making things difficult for Princess Le Yao, it was Le Yao's fault.

Xu Rouzhi frowned as she looked at Su Leyao. Su Leyao was so arrogant in the morning, and even dared to talk to her about "Let's go" in front of Chu Yixuan.

Warm Xiang had already inquired about it and the Fragrance Pavillion incident did not continue with its fermentation. It seems that her Su Family is about to escape danger, if that's the case, then Su Leyao has no reason to lower her head to her, right?

Therefore, when Su Leyao was pouring tea for her, she had paid attention to his actions. If Su Leyao wanted to poison her with the tea, then it was clear that Su Leyao's actions were not suspicious at all.

Looking at Su Leyao who was raising the teacup up towards her, Xu Rouzhi quietly received the teacup.

Lowering her head to look at the faintly yellow tea in the purple sand cup, a trace of a faint smile surfaced at the corner of Xu Rouzhi's lips: "Did Mrs. Su poison this tea?"

Su Leyao's expression changed, "Even if Le Yao was in the past at fault, Cola Yao had already apologized to Princess Huo Yue.

Xu Rouzhi thought in her heart. You think I should believe you after apologizing? Why?

However, she still laughed magnanimously: "It's just a joke, Mrs. Su doesn't mind at all."

With that, Xu Rouzhi picked up the teacup, covered her face with her sleeve and gently drank it.

Seeing Xu Rouzhi drink the tea, Warm Xiang's heart rose to her throat. Su Leyao smiled in relief, and poured herself another cup of tea, which she slowly carried in her hand and sat down: "May I ask, wangfei, how is the taste of the tea?"

Xu Rouzhi put down her teacup, smacked her lips together, and said with a frown: "It seems to be extremely bitter."

Su Leyao smiled, gently took a sip of the tea, and said leisurely: "Of course!"

Xu Rouzhi frowned, she looked at the teacup: "Warm Xiang, what tea is this?"

Warm Xiang hurriedly said: "This is just ordinary jasmine tea, no... "It can't be that tough, wangfei …"

Su Leyao said: "Although jasmine tea is not bitter, but if I add some oleander juice into the tea, it should be very bitter!"

"What?" Xu Rouzhi stood up, and grabbed the teacup she had drunk earlier, and looked at Su Leyao in shock, "You just … You poisoned me? "

Hearing that, warm up was shocked as he held Xu Rouzhi back. He looked at Su Leyao in shock, "Mrs. Su, how could you …"

Just a few days ago, Princess Le Yao used a string of poisonous firecrackers to wait for my Monoculture to recover for a few hours. Saying that, Su Leyao smiled and looked at Xu Rouzhi: "Then right now, does Princess Wang Fei feel like she's almost out of breath?"

Xu Rouzhi's face paled. Her hands trembled, and with one hand on the table, she pressed down on her chest, and said with a trembling voice: "Su Leyao, you, you actually dared to use poison on me!"

Su Leyao sneered: "Or else, do you think I would kowtow to you, Xu Rouzhi?"

Xu Rouzhi pointed to Su Leyao's teacup: "You … You drank too, why are you fine? "

Su Leyao said in disdain: "My poison was in your cup, not the teapot."

Warm Xiang was so anxious that she was about to cry! She nervously patted Xu Rouzhi's back, "How are you, Princess? Spit it out, spit out the tea that you just drank! "

Su Leyao laughed loudly: "Too late! When the tea water enters your stomach, the poison will quickly soak into your internal organs. Xu Rouzhi, just you wait to die! "

"You … How do you know that oleanders are poisonous? " Xu Rouzhi bent down and gasped for breath, and asked.

"Wasn't it because you used the oleander powder on my people last night!" Su Leyao said coldly, "I am returning the favor with my teeth, returning the favor with blood!"

Xu Rouzhi frowned, "Su, Su Leyao, how dare you... "You poisoned me, and now the prince is coming back …" I won't let you off! "

Su Leyao laughed again, "Really? Your highness isn't here right now, but when your highness comes back, you've already died from the poison, you can't complain to your highness! Do you think that the prince would believe the words of a dead person like you, or would he believe the words of a living person like me? "

After saying that, Su Leyao glared at Warm Xiang, "Yanhong, give Warm Xiang a cup of good tea!"
