"Could it be …" Zhou Jun was startled, and as if he had thought of something, he immediately turned around and walked to the door, calling in the kitchen manager, Li Ping!
"Li Ping! "Let me ask you, did you personally deliver this medicine into Qiu Yue's hands?" Housekeeper Zhou looked at Li Ping. This bottle had only been given to him by three people. If it wasn't the prince, if it wasn't him, then it must be Li Ping!
"Housekeeper Zhou, how could I dare neglect your words!" "I did indeed hand it to Qiu Yue personally. This little Qiu Yue can also bear witness …" Li Ping suspiciously looked at Zhou Jing, even though he knew that something big had happened to the wangfei, he didn't know exactly why!
"You haven't moved in the entire process?!" Zhou Jing frowned even more. If it wasn't for Li Ping, how would he explain the chili powder in the bottle!
"How could I dare!?" Furthermore … This little one has no reason to touch it either! " When Li Ping spoke the truth, the air in the room was as cold as a cold pond, causing Li Ping to be so scared that he couldn't help but shiver!
"Then after I left, did anyone else enter the kitchen?!" This matter was very strange, there must be someone doing it on purpose, who could it be?! Could it be?
"No!" Li Ping answered firmly! To the side, Qiu Yue could not help but snort in disdain. In this entire palace, who didn't know that not only was Li Ping honest, but he also had no enmity with the wangfei. Housekeeper Zhou didn't either! The culprit was right in front of him!
"Prince …" At this point, Housekeeper Zhou didn't know how to investigate. The suspect had never been to the kitchen, so how could he mess with them?
"How preposterous! Who would have thought that there would actually be such a vicious person in the Xiao family! This King will definitely thoroughly investigate, and he will even consider this side concubine to be fair! But... If you let me see Duan Xingyi appear in this room the next time, Qiu Yue, you should know the consequences! "Humph!" Xiao Jin Feng's gloomy gaze shifted from the bed to Qiu Yue. After a cold rebuke, he turned around and left the room!
"Qiu Yue, you stay behind to take care of the wangfei. As for the rest of the matters, since the prince said she'd investigate them thoroughly, she'll definitely give an explanation to the wangfei …" Zhou Jun's eyes focused on the figure lying on the bed, and she couldn't help but feel guilty. Zhou Han had a backer to rely on.
Blood flowed down Duan Xingyi's palm and dripped onto the ground. It was a dazzling dark red, and Zheng Yu had followed the trail of blood and chased after it!
"Second Prince, please let this humble subject help you bandage your hands first …" Otherwise, this blood … It can't be stopped! " The third princess must have bitten him hard. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bled for so long!
Didn't I want you to stay in the Xiao manor …" A trace of bitterness flashed through Duan Xingyi's charming eyes as he spoke in a carefree manner. His lazy gaze looked ahead, but a trace of bitterness flashed across his heart. Blood … "Let it flow a little more, as a form of compensation to Duan Mu Yan in advance.
"Ugh …" Returning to the Second Prince … "Actually …" Imperial Physician Zheng looked troubled. How could he not know that the king was ill? He was just a cover for the second prince to deal with the king. If he did not stay there tactfully, the fire in front of the city would definitely catch the attention of the fish! Therefore, when Duan Xingyi left half a cup of tea later, Imperial Physician Zheng slipped out!
"Heh …" You aren't afraid that this prince will go back to the Imperial Palace and go back on his word, which is why you came chasing after us, right? " Duan Xingyi suddenly stopped. His bewitching and bewitching face slowly neared Doctor Zheng, and his thin lips curled into a teasing smile! Out of the corner of his eye, he found something unexpected!
"This humble subject dares not!" Doctor Zheng didn't expect Duan Xingyi to suddenly stop and turn to look at him. He immediately became flustered in response!
"Don't worry!" This prince will not kill a donkey, but you can't tell anyone about what happened in Duke Xiao Palace today! Especially not to let royal father know! " Duan Xingyi slowly turned around. His deep eyes flashed with a cold light!
"This humble subject obeys! "Then if Seventh Princess …" Doctor Zheng hesitated!
"Seventh Princess … Heh … Doctor Zheng, do you think the chili powder in that porcelain bottle was placed by Prince Qi?! " Duan Xingyi's eyes shone as he glanced at the large teahouse on his lefthereventh Princess … Heh … Doctor Zheng, do you think the chili powder in that porcelain bottle was placed by Prince Qi?! " Duan Xingyi's eyes shone as he glanced at the large teahouse on his left!
"This humble subject doesn't dare …" Before Doctor Zheng could finish, Duan Xingyi dragged him into the teahouse!
"Thank you for your hard work. This prince will treat you to some tea today!" As Duan Xingyi spoke, his eyes flashed towards the crowd. He only saw a green figure hastily rushing towards the Imperial Palace! He had always disliked being watched by others, but luckily, that figure's target was not him! However, he didn't expect that Duan Zitong's spies at the Xiao manor would be so loyal. She was in a rush to claim credit as soon as the incident happened.
Palace Tutor Hall.
"Princess …" The clear and melodious voice seemed to contain a hint of warning. Xiao Yuxuan couldn't help but exclaim softly as he looked at Duan Zitong's High Quality Wolf Bristles that had been hammering on the xuan paper for a long time!
"Ugh …" Sorry... Maybe it's because we didn't sleep well last night, so why don't we stop here today and practice again tomorrow? " Duan Zitong's beautiful eyes glinted as she pretended to look tired! Xiao Yuxuan was naturally extremely happy with Duan Zitong's suggestion. Ever since he had arrived at the Tutor Hall, this was the first time Duan Zitong had left early!
"Since the princess isn't feeling well, why didn't Yuxuan send for the imperial physician?" Xiao Yuxuan softly said. On his handsome face, a gem-like luster flashed in his clear eyes. Just a glance at his would cause anyone to feel dazzled! If it wasn't for the matter at hand, how would Duan Zitong be willing to leave?!
At this moment, Duan Zitong never expected Xiao Yuxuan to have such thoughts and was overjoyed! Perhaps it was due to her hard work during this period of time that the god-like man was willing to take care of her! This was indeed a good start!
"No need, I'm just tired. I'll just go back and rest!" "But I accept Yu Xuan's kind intentions …" Duan Zitong's beautiful eyes shifted away from Xiao Yuxuan's beautiful face. Only the heavens knew how much perseverance she required. If they could, she would have to spend her entire life staring at this face!
"This humble subject respectfully delivers you to the princess …" The corner of Xiao Yuxuan's mouth twitched. When she saw Duan Zitong's departing figure, a faint chill spread through her calm, lake-like face!
After Duan Zitong left for the time it took half an incense stick to burn, Xiao Yuxuan couldn't wait to leave the Tutor Manor and head straight for the Tyne Pavilion!
"Jade Xuan …" "Why are you so early today?" The clear voice contained a trace of shock. Duan Jingyang suspiciously looked at Xiao Yuxuan as he spoke with a worried heart.
"It's fine, it's just that Duan Zitong left early …" By the way, have you been to the royal hospital in the past few days? " Xiao Yuxuan closed the door and walked to Duan Jingyang's side, speaking in a solemn voice!
"No, didn't you say that you were afraid Duan Xingyi and the others would be suspicious, so you didn't let me go …" Duan Jingyang looked at Xiao Yuxuan with a puzzled expression!
"That's good …" This morning, I wanted to go to the Imperial Hospital to find out where the home of Li Jiancheng, the one who made you the cold wind medicine, was, but I coincidentally saw Duan Xingyi pulling Doctor Zheng along as he walked out. Luckily, I was in the dark, so I followed closely behind him; however, I didn't expect that when he arrived at the east gate, Duan Zitong's maidservant, Duan Xingyi, would actually go all out to stop him! Later on, Duan Zitong and Duan Xingyi even had a huge argument over this. From the meaning of their words, it seemed that Duan Xingyi was going to save someone. Obviously, Duan Zitong didn't agree! I was thinking... Could that person be Li Jiancheng? " Xiao Yuxuan's sword-like eyebrows were tightly knitted. She couldn't understand it!
"I don't think so! Jade Xuan... Duan Xingyi's shrewdness is not something we can imagine! If it was really Li Jiancheng who poisoned my medicine, then he definitely wouldn't have left anyone alive! Not to mention going to save him! Therefore, the person they were talking about was someone else! I only hope that Li Jiancheng is still alive! Otherwise... "I really have no hope at all …" Duan Jingyang's eyes dimmed and he couldn't help but sigh!
Ever since he had lifted the ban on the Pavilion, he had gone to the Imperial Hall to pay his respects to Duan Chen every day. However, every time he did so, he would kowtow and kneel before the door. Until now, he had never once seen Duan Chen! Duan Jingyang's heart was extremely cold. His mother had already died, was this not enough to make his father forget the hatred he had accumulated for the past twenty years?! Moreover, mufei was wrongly accused.
It was more painful than dying in his heart. Without his mufei and sister in this huge palace, Duan Jingyang suddenly felt very cold.
"Jing Yang!" No matter what, even if it is for Mu Yan's sake, we must persevere on! " Xiao Yuxuan grasped Duan Jingyang's shoulder tightly, as if he was giving him boundless strength. Xiao Yuxuan knew that only if Duan Jingyang gained power would Duan Mu Yan's position in the Xiao manor be stable, at least he wouldn't be humiliated or bullied by her brother. Furthermore, only if Duan Jingyang gained power would he be able to be together with Mu Yan … This formless energy was constantly pushing Xiao Yuxuan. Even though he didn't have a clue, he still hadn't given up!
In the Phoenix Storage Pavilion, Duan Zitong had just returned to her bedroom when Su Jin Xiu requested to see him.
"You came at just the right time! I really want to know what that good little brother of mine did in the Xiao family! Qing Lan, you stay guard outside and let Su Jin Xiu in! " Even if Su Jin didn't come, Duan Ziteng still wanted Qing Lan to call her, which was exactly what Duan Zitong wanted!
"Yes …" Qing Lan accepted the order respectfully and left the chamber!
"This servant Su Jin Xiu kowtows to the Seventh Princess …" "Princess, save me …" Su Jin Xiu trembled as she stepped into the Phoenix Storage Pavilion. Her face was flustered, but as soon as she entered, she fell to her knees and sobbed!
"Let's talk about it later!" Don't always try to save my life! What a big deal, didn't there still exist a princess like me? Speak! "What is it!" Duan Zitong picked up the teacup on the jade square table gracefully as a trace of warmth rose from her palm. Qing Lan was indeed a meticulous maid. Every time she came back from the Tutor Hall, the tea on the table would always be hot!
"Reporting to the princess … This time, it was likely that Jin Xiu couldn't escape her doom. This morning, Jin Xiu accidentally saw that the Qi King had come to Ji Prefecture to request medicine for his concubine … It seemed like the Imperial Physician Zheng had found something, which was why the prince had left the room in such a rage. Furthermore, she had already begun to investigate everything thoroughly! Although she didn't know if she had discovered what was inside the medicine, but … However, this servant was afraid that if something unexpected happened, in the future … "Then I can't work for the princess anymore …" She had done her best to make it flawless, but there wasn't a wall in this world that didn't let the wind pass through, so she had to make plans again. However, Su Jinxiu admitted that when she heard the miserable cries coming from the house, every single cell in her body was so excited that they could no longer hold it in!
"I guessed it right!" "Humph!" Duan Zitong gritted her teeth. Even though she could guess who her younger brother had left the palace to save, when she heard this fact from Su Jin Xiu, she couldn't help but be enraged!
"Princess …" Su Jin Xiu cowered and opened her mouth as she looked pleadingly at Duan Zitong with her eyes slightly raised!
"What do you want me to do?" Duan Zitong let out a long breath and slowly sat back in her chair. Her expression was calm, but the light in her eyes was even colder!
