The system forced me to complete the strategy script

They ate the meal for a long time, and finally the impatient Chen Jiyue couldn't calm down and spoke first.

He put down the chopsticks he was eating and held Tan Yu's hand tightly under the table. "Master, actually you and I must be suspicious, because the symptoms of His Highness Aijun's death are not the symptoms of Mi Gu San."

Chen Jiyue's truth-hungry eyes stared at Xi Zhong, whose face turned pale.

Xi Zhong, who was wiping his mouth, was startled when he heard this, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at the two people opposite him.

"...Yes, I know this is not a symptom of Mi Gu Powder poison."

Is this Xi Zhong a picky eater?

He actually didn't eat any of the fried eggs in the end.

Don't waste food...

Although I chose it for him on my own initiative...

Tan Yu suppressed the urge to ask questions. This question was not the focus at this time, so it was better not to disturb them who were reviewing the review.

Tan Yu raised the question in his mind, "If it's not the case, then why were you arrested by name, Xi Zhong, and what was the reason for your desperate escape?"

"Also, Xi Zhong, can you tell us who the person behind you is?"

Hearing this, Xi Zhong chuckled and asked the other person.

"Chen Jiyue, you, the person who can provide the recipe for Migu Powder, can't you guess the person behind me?"

He slowly spoke out the information he had investigated, "I've checked and found that you were originally raised in a brothel. Born in a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, you will not be as innocent as you pretend to be on the surface."

There was no sarcasm in his tone, just a matter-of-fact statement.

Chen Jiyue's expression froze, and he subconsciously turned his head to see Tan Yu's reaction.

Tan Yu gave him a relieved smile.

Only then did Chen Jiyue's expression soften.

Surrounded by love, he gradually gained confidence, his mood became much more stable, and he became more insensitive to outsiders' remarks.

"Yes, I have made a guess during this period. Master, the person behind you and the person you work for is the fourth princess of Xi Yun, right?"

Chen Jiyue was trembling when he spoke.

Xi Zhong pursed his lips and nodded, "Yes."

Tan Yu naturally felt Chen Jiyue's trembling body.

She continued their unfinished conversation, "In that case, we may have been involved in your palace struggle."

Tan Yu urgently wants to know the truth.

"So Xi Zhong, what happened back then? Is this Mi Gu Powder... used by the Fourth Emperor's daughter? Also, why were you forced to end up like this?"

Xi Zhong took a deep breath and slowly told what happened.

"I don't know if she uses Mi Gu Powder."

After Xi Zhong handed Mi Gusan to Xi Yunzhi, Xi Yunzhi set off back to the upper city.

The specific reason was that apart from going back to mediate with Xi Murong, the more important reason was that news came from the palace that Qing Guijun was ill.

Qing Guijun is also Xi Yunzhi's father.

Xi Yunzhi was very worried about her father, so after receiving the news, she rushed back to the palace without stopping.

"Since then, I haven't received any news from her, not even a letter. Later, I found out that I was wanted, and the shadow guards who specially protected me fell one by one..."

Xi Zhong's face was full of hatred, and his murderous aura gradually became apparent.

This aura was so powerful that Tan Yu immediately poured a cup of tea for Xi Zhong, "I understand, Xi Zhong, please drink some tea."

Chen Jiyue thought for a long time and then said: "Master, are you worried that something will happen to the Fourth Princess?"

Xi Zhong took a big sip of tea.

"Yes, for some reason, I tried various contact methods, but in the end there was no response. Even Yun Zhi, no..."

Xi Zhong almost bit his tongue.

Tan Yu and others opposite him also heard some clues.

It seems that Xi Zhong has a close relationship with the Fourth Princess.

"Even Cuilou and Lianlou, who are under the control of the Fourth Princess, have not received any messages from her. I once speculated whether something big happened in the palace, because I have not received any messages about her until now."

Xi Zhong felt uneasy because he didn't know what happened to Xi Yunzhi?

"Cuilou and Lianlou are also interspersed with many government officials now. They can only protect themselves temporarily, so I have no choice but to come to you to avoid the limelight."

Tan Yu asked cautiously: "I understand, Xi Zhong, although I know that you are a subordinate of the Fourth Princess and work for her. But..."

Xi Zhong naturally knew what she wanted to say.

"Don't you suspect that she betrayed you?"

Xi Zhong was silent, but in the end he tightened his sleeves and pretended to be calm and said firmly: "No, I believe in the Fourth Princess."

Tan Yu could only nod, "Then Xi Zhong, what are you going to do next? As long as you can get rid of your grievances and Ji Yue is safe in the end, I can do anything."

Chen Jiyue was moved, and he held the hands of the people around him tightly with both hands.

"...Master Tan..."

Tan Yu patted the back of his hand with his right hand comfortingly.

"Tan Yu, I have only one solution at the moment. As long as I can get in touch with Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, there is still room for change."

Both Tan and Yu's eyes lit up.

"Say it!" Tan Yu was very excited.

"God bless us. It just so happens that Tan Yu wants to help Liu Danqiu. This matter should be handled less tortuously."

Tan Yu was a little confused, "Is this related to me going to Cuilou to help Liu Danqiu?"

Xi Zhong nodded heavily, "Yes."

Chen Jiyue was confused when she heard this.

Why did Master Tan go to the place of fireworks in Cuilou! ?

Help Liu Danqiu! ?

Why do you need to go to this sensual place...

Chen Jiyue was confused about the taste: "...Master Tan, you..."

Tan Yu shook his head at Chen Jiyue, "Jiyue, don't think too much, I will explain it to you later."

Chen Jiyue had no choice but to nod obediently and stop moving.

She turned back and continued talking to Xi Zhong.

"Xi Zhong, continue."

"Okay...Tan Yu, listen to me, Cuilou's Madam Sang is one of our own, you can trust him."

"Sima Jiangnan from Rongcheng is also one of our own. She is a close friend of the Fourth Princess. She visits Cuilou all the year round. On the surface, she is addicted to wine and lust, but in fact she is just dormant to handle cases."

Xi Zhong handed the jade bracelet in his arms to Tan Yu.

"In short, although she seems to be overindulgent on the outside, she is indeed a just person. Please don't be fooled by her careless appearance."

"Okay, then what is this bracelet...?"

Tan Yu took the jade bracelet handed over by Xi Zhong. The bracelet was bright and translucent and looked very valuable.

"This jade bracelet is an item only owned by those close to Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess. Madam Sang and Jiang Nan have seen it before. When the time comes, show the jade bracelet to Jiang Nan and the others, and they will understand."

Tan Yu said: "Do I need to say anything then?"

Xi Zhong took a deep breath and said, "Tell Jiang Nan that you must contact Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, otherwise the heirs of the Fourth Princess will not be protected."

Tan Yu listened carefully and answered seriously: "Oh, okay, ah——! Xi Zhong, you, you... what kind of heir!?"

Chen Jiyue was also shocked by Xi Zhong's words.

He suddenly frowned.

Could it be! ? Xi Zhong is the bedfellow of the Fourth Princess...

"Yes... you heard it right, I am more than one month pregnant... I am the son of the Fourth Emperor's daughter."

Xi Zhong knew that the child in his belly was his last trump card, and life and death depended on it.
