After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"Your Majesty has a distinguished status, so naturally I don't dare to do anything to you. But my father is very angry now, and Miss Chu is a suspect. If my brother comes into contact with her like this... If my father knows about it, will he suspect it?" You two colluded to poison and commit murder?"

The sarcastic smile on Xiao Rongxuan's lips did not hide the pride and threat in his tone.

"Why, third brother has already thought about how to write the closed case file?" There was a playful smile on Xiao Jinzhi's lips.

"Brother Huang is joking. The matter has not been investigated clearly. How can I make a hasty conclusion? But next..." Xiao Rongxuan's eyes moved to Chu Huanyan, "Miss Chu has a good meal, and I will not disturb you. After all, I’m afraid you’ll never be able to eat so safely again.”

With a smile on his lips, Xiao Rongxuan glanced at Xiao Jin again, then turned and left.

The moment Xiao Rongxuan disappeared, the smile on Xiao Jinzhi's face disappeared.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Since the Emperor did not immediately convict me, it means that the Emperor also feels that there is something fishy about this matter. As long as the truth can be found out quickly, the third prince will not be able to pin this crime on me." Xiao Jin noticed that Chu Huanyan comforted her in response to the change in her mood.

"That's not what I'm worried about." Xiao Jinzhi shook his head.

Although he, the third brother, pretends to be kind and a gentleman on the surface, he has some tricks behind his back, and he is by no means a good person when it comes to interrogating people.

Now that he has determined that he has a close relationship with Chu Huanyan, if he deliberately uses more tricks in the interrogation...

Xiao Jinzhi's eyes were heavy and he was thinking about countermeasures rapidly.

"Are you afraid that the third prince will give in to you?" Chu Huanyan smiled, "Your highness, don't worry, this matter is of great importance. No matter what methods the third prince uses, I will not..."

"I'm afraid you will suffer." Xiao Jinzhi interrupted Chu Huanyan.

Of course he knew that according to Chu Huanyan's character, it was impossible to confess casually. Even he knew that even if Xiao Rongxuan wanted to interrogate and torture him, he would always have to take it into account. However, this did not mean that Chu Huanyan would not suffer in this prison.

Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi, who had a serious look on his face that was rare in the past.

Are you afraid that she will suffer?

But since you have come to this prison, it is normal to suffer some hardships, not to mention that as long as you can survive, even if you suffer a little bit, it is not impossible.

It’s just that Xiao Jinzhi looks like this...

Chu Huanyan was organizing words of comfort in her heart, but before she could speak, Xiao Jinzhi spoke again.

"If you are desperate to comfort me, then forget it. In this situation, you should not be the one to comfort me."

Chu Huanyan couldn't help but laugh, "Your Highness said that, so I don't want to think about it anymore."

"Hurry up and eat, it's almost cold." Xiao Jinzhi gestured to the food in front of him, "I will seize the time to investigate the matter of Concubine Xue, and I will find a solution for Xiao Rongxuan. It's just..."

"Just looking at the appearance of the third prince, he finally caught the opportunity, and I'm afraid he won't miss it easily." Chu Huanyan took over Xiao Jinzhi's words, "Your Highness, don't worry, my daughter will be fine. I will trouble Your Highness with the investigation."

There are not many people she can trust. Yun Chen and Xian Yue have no way to enter the palace. Now they can only rely on Xiao Jinzhi to investigate the truth.

When this idea came up, Chu Huanyan was suddenly stunned. Since when did she start to trust Xiao Jinzhi?

Xiao Jinzhi left the prison, and after Chu Huanyan had eaten, the jailer came and took away the food box. At the same time, he also brought a pot of hot tea with a very respectful attitude. One look at it and it was clear that Xiao Jinzhi should have specifically explained it.

Staying in the cell, time seemed to slow down extraordinarily. Chu Huanyan sorted through everything from the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet to the present several times, but she still couldn't find the reason why Queen Wei or others had to attack her.

After thinking about it, she still felt that Concubine Xue might be the target.

In the past few days, the signs of Concubine Xue's return to favor may be what attracted people to attack her.

However, although she didn't know much about the harem, she also knew that except for Empress Wei who always occupied the position of the middle palace, there was no other concubine in the harem that had a higher status than Concubine Xue. It was said that Emperor Xiao was not very interested in other concubines. , there is rarely any news of competition for favor in the harem.

In addition, the difference between Emperor Xiao and Concubine Xue is probably well known among the concubines in the harem. Just because Emperor Xiao often goes to Yingxue Palace these days, he takes the risk of attacking Concubine Xue. There are really concubines in the harem. Would it be so careless?

If it is not a concubine, then there is another possibility, it is Empress Wei.

But not all sisters in the world are like herself and Chu Wanyan. Would Queen Wei really attack her own sister?

The more Chu Huanyan thought about it, the more she felt that nothing in this matter seemed to make sense.

Just like that, in the afternoon, Xiao Rongxuan appeared again, and this time he came with someone.

Chu Huanyan looked at Liu Qianran and Xiao Rongxuan through the cell door.

It seems that the matter of Liu Qianran assisting Xiao Rongxuan has changed from behind the scenes to the public.

"Miss Chu, we meet again." Xiao Rongxuan looked down at Chu Huanyan who was leaning against the wall.

"Is the third prince here to interrogate my daughter?"

"Of course." Xiao Rongxuan nodded.

"I'm really impatient." Chu Huanyan laughed.

"I'm afraid it won't work if we don't hurry up. After all, this prince was almost assassinated in the morning." Xiao Rongxuan said in a meaningful tone, "Miss Chu, who do you think could do it?"

"How could I know this?" Chu Huanyan shook her head lightly.

Could it be Xiao Jinzhi? He didn't want Xiao Rongxuan to be responsible for this matter, so he sent someone to assassinate him. He wanted to hurt Xiao Rongxuan so that he would not be able to come to this prison again? Is this approach too impulsive?

Xiao Rongxuan snorted coldly, "Forget it if I don't know. But fortunately, my prince is blessed with great fortune and Qianran discovered the clues in advance. Otherwise, at this moment... I am afraid that I really can't stand in front of Miss Chu."

Chu Huanyan looked at Liu Qianran, who had a calm look on his face. There was no sign of any mood swings, but his eyes were dim.

In the torture chamber, Chu Huanyan was tied to a shelf.

Xiao Rongxuan sat on the chair opposite, looking at her with contempt and fun.

"Miss Chu, in fact, this prince admires you very much. You have a charming appearance and excellent dancing skills. You are also Mr. Shen Xi's disciple. Among all the noble ladies in the imperial city, you are almost the best."

"Thank you, Third Prince, for the compliment." Chu Huanyan smiled, and then she was probably going to say no.

"But it's a pity..." Xiao Rongxuan sighed, "Why is Miss Chu so hard to think about, and she has to get entangled with the emperor brother."

"What a pity?" Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Rongxuan, suddenly smiled and shook her head, "The third prince's words are really false."
