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

"Presumptuous! Are you threatening me or scaring me?" Emperor Xiao's expression became increasingly ugly.

How dare a mere daughter of the Marquis Mansion dare to speak to him like this.

Chu Huanyan knelt down calmly, "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I have no intention of doing so. I just hope to catch the murderer. In this way, we can ensure that the noble concubine will not experience another poisoning and assassination."

Emperor Xiao looked at Chu Huanyan coldly, "Today is already the third day. You want to save your life."

"There is no conflict between the two." Chu Huanyan said calmly.

Emperor Xiao's eyes fell coldly on Chu Huanyan, "Don't forget, your suspicion has not been cleared yet."

"If the emperor really still doubts my daughter, he will not let me be responsible for investigating the matter." After saying that, Chu Huanyan added, "Even if His Highness the Crown Prince acts as a guarantee, he will not."

He had no reason to attack Concubine Xue at all. Emperor Xiao obviously wanted to understand this, and with Xiao Jinzhi's lobbying and guarantee, he was released from the prison.

Emperor Xiao did not speak immediately, but looked Chu Huanyan up and down seriously, "You are quite bold, no wonder you offended the prince."

The tone was somber that one could not hear the emotion in it.

"Chu Huanyan, the prince is sincere to you and is even willing to go to heaven for you. I would like to ask, how do you view him in your heart?"

Chu Huanyan frowned quickly. What answer would Emperor Xiao hope to hear?

As an emperor, under normal circumstances, he would not want his son to be limited by emotions.

In addition, Xiao Jinzhi ignored his identity as the prince and entered the prison, so it stands to reason that the emperor should be very angry about this matter, and may even feel uncomfortable with himself.

However, she didn't seem to hear any displeasure or annoyance in Emperor Xiao's tone just now. Could it be that the emperor's mind was heavy and his emotions were hidden too deeply?

"Miss Chu, the Emperor is asking you something." Seeing that Chu Huanyan remained silent, Eunuch Zheng reminded her at the right time.

Chu Huanyan thought deeply and said, "I would like to report to the emperor, I really didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would do this, and I am flattered."

"I'm asking what you think of the prince." Emperor Xiao was not satisfied with Chu Huanyan's answer.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was born into the royal family and is the heir apparent of a country. He has a noble status. He is also born with handsome appearance and graceful demeanor." Chu Huanyan spoke again.

"only these?"

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I am busy with the affairs of the Marquis and the shop business, and I have no skills. Therefore, I only know this much about His Highness the Crown Prince." Chu Huanyan sounded ashamed.

She really couldn't understand what Emperor Xiao was thinking about Xiao Jinzhi. In this case, it was better to pretend to be dumbfounded.

Seeing Chu Huanyan speaking like this, Emperor Xiao looked at her deeply for a while, and finally stopped asking any more questions.

"I can agree to the matter of setting up a trap."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"However, you must ensure that Zhi'er is safe and sound. If she is even slightly damaged..."

"My daughter is willing to pay with her life."

"I want the lives of everyone in the Ning'an Marquis Mansion."

Chu Huanyan raised her head, glanced at Emperor Xiao, and finally agreed respectfully.

After Chu Huanyan left, Eunuch Zheng said cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you really want to promise Miss Chu?"

He has been with Emperor Xiao since he was a child. He may be the person who knows the most about Emperor Xiao's feelings for Concubine Xue.

Although he is always with a king like a tiger, he is usually cautious about his words and deeds and dare not talk too much, but at this moment, he still can't help but feel curious. Is the emperor really willing to take risks with Concubine Xue?

"What Chu Huanyan said just now is right. If the murderer cannot be found, Zhi'er will always be in danger." Emperor Xiao looked serious, "What's more, the murderer is very likely to be in Yingxue Palace. "

"Your Majesty, how about replacing everyone in Yingxue Palace?" Eunuch Zheng suggested.

"It's not that I haven't thought about this. But..." Xiao Di paused for a moment, with a rare hint of fatigue in his expression. He raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, "Zhi'er won't agree."

When he suspected that there might be a murderer in Yingxue Palace, he had the idea of ​​​​executing all the people in the palace. But if he really did that, I am afraid that not only would Zhi'er not appreciate it, but she would only think that he was cruel and cruel. .

There has been a stalemate between him and Zhi'er for too many years.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet a few days ago, he realized that he couldn't let go of Zhi'er at all. Although he always remembered what happened in the past, he still loved Zhi'er every day. If this stalemate continues, he will be the only one who suffers in the end.

He loves Zhi'er, and since he had already given in at the beginning, now that so many years have passed, there is no harm in taking a step back. As long as... I can rebuild my old relationship with Zhi'er!

"In addition to the guards on the surface, if you send people to secretly keep an eye on Yingxue Palace, you must not make any mistakes."

"Yes, I obey."

……

After receiving Emperor Xiao's permission, Chu Huanyan, Qin Li and Shen Chi quickly made a plan.

Shen Chi would pretend to find out the antidote thoroughly, give Concubine Xue acupuncture half an hour later, and tell Yue Gui and the maids present that if everything went well, Concubine Xue would wake up today.

"I will tell them that the position of the silver needle must not be deviated during the acupuncture process, otherwise Concubine Xue's life will not be saved. As for the rest, it is up to you." Shen Chi looked at Qin Li.

The latter nodded, "I will take you away on the grounds that Miss Chu suddenly vomited blood, and at the same time take away a palace maid to help. The remaining palace maid, the tea she drank today was tampered with, and counting the time, she should also be here That's when the attack occurred. Finally, I was in a hurry to go to the toilet and left the dormitory."

In this way, only Concubine Xue and Yue Gui were left in the entire dormitory, which was an excellent opportunity to take action.

"Are you sure there won't be any problems even if Yue Gui moves the silver needle?" Chu Huanyan asked, "In order to make Yue Gui think there is a chance, I will use the excuse of catching the assassin to lure away all the guards, both overt and covert."

Shen Chi nodded, "Don't worry, I have soaked the silver needle in potion. Once it comes into contact with human skin, it will immediately become allergic and produce large red spots. It is extremely itchy and cannot be gone away in a short time. Don't even mention acupuncture by then. I'm afraid it will be itchy." She even scratched her skin."

Unless you take the antidote he developed in advance, you will definitely have a reaction whenever you encounter it.

Moreover, even if the acupuncture points he pricks are removed, his life will not be affected.

"Doctor Shen, where did you get these weird medicines?" Qin Li couldn't help but ask.

"When I was studying herbal tea before, I did some research and thought that if next time...some people would waste the natural resources and use it on themselves without knowing what is good or bad." Shen Chi glanced at Qin Li faintly.

The latter trembled all over. He must stay away from Dr. Shen next time!
