Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

The next day, in a teahouse near Caishikou.

"Are you leaving the capital?"

The third prince was sitting at the tea table beside the bed in casual clothes, and in front of him was a young woman in green.

"I had no intention of avenging my junior brother. It was Your Highness who asked me to join the game. You promised me in advance that you would let me leave the game regardless of success or failure. As a member of the royal family, you should not break your promise, right?"

There was a hint of vigilance in Ruan Yu's beautiful eyes as she looked at the Third Prince dimly.

The third prince cast his gaze towards the execution ground not far away, where officials from the Ministry of Justice had already arrived one after another and the executioner was sitting on the platform sharpening his knife.

"I always keep my word, but you have to wait until the dust settles before you leave."

Ruan Yu followed his gaze towards the execution ground and immediately understood what he meant.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. The Soul-Separation Gu in Hu Sanwan's body is already dormant. Even if you cut off his hands and feet, he will not wake up, and he will not be able to change his confession."

The third prince smiled coldly, "I hope so."

Ruan Yu frowned, feeling like he was being looked down upon.

After a moment of silence, Ruan Yu slowly spoke, "Your Highness, why did you give the antidote formula for the cold poison to the Crown Prince's Consort of the Zhennan Palace? Now everyone is talking about her extraordinary medical skills and her kind heart."

When this matter was mentioned, the third prince's face turned dark.

Originally in his plan, Shen Xuanheng killed Xu Mo, and then Hu Sanwan voluntarily surrendered himself, and then the crime of wrongful death was charged to the Crown Prince.

Then, as the third prince, he took out the antidote formula to detoxify the people at the critical moment.

If the plan is carried out smoothly, he will be able to regain the Ministry of Justice and win the hearts of the people. This is a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy!

But to this day, the plan has completely failed, and Su Xuqing has gained a good reputation, which has enhanced the prestige of her Zhen'an Palace. The Third Prince is gritting his teeth in hatred.

"The cold poison formula was not given to her by me. She researched it herself."

Ruan Yu looked doubtful. How could a woman from an official family have such medical skills?

"You do not believe?"

The Third Prince looked at Ruan Yu's expression and said slowly, "By the way, your foolish junior brother was also captured by her and died on Chaomu Mountain."

Ruan Yu's eyes narrowed and he suddenly felt uneasy.

"Your Highness, if this person really has such medical skills, then the trick of the Soul-Separation Gu might not be able to deceive her. Hu Sanwan might have regained consciousness by now!"

"What did you say?"

The third prince raised his brows, as if a thorn in his back was uneasy.

Looking out the window again, the execution ground was empty. It didn't look like there was going to be an execution.

"Yesterday I deliberately had someone spread the news that Hu Sanwan was going to be executed today. I thought that the mastermind behind this would definitely come here to watch and make sure that there were no accidents. But I really didn't expect to see the Third Prince here."

The sound on the stairs came from far away, accompanied by footsteps.

Shen Xuanheng walked slowly to the Third Prince, looked at him meaningfully, and then said calmly: "Your Highness, can you tell me why you are sitting with the culprit of this poisoning case?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Yu's pupils shrank, and she escaped from the window of the teahouse at lightning speed.

The Third Prince bowed his hands without changing his expression, "Your Highness, you have arrived just in time. I wanted to see the execution of the poisoning criminal today, but I was threatened by that woman and asked for a huge amount of money. If it weren't for Your Highness, I would not be able to escape today."

"Your Highness, you don't have to be polite. It's just my job."

Shen Xuanheng lowered his eyes, and the Third Prince looked up at him. Their gazes collided, like a sharp confrontation.

The third prince understood that he had broken off relations with Shen Xuanheng today, and he would not have to hide anything when dealing with him in the future!

"The Emperor issued an order yesterday, asking the prince to close the case as soon as possible. Now the culprit has escaped. Don't you want to chase him?"

Shen Xuanheng smiled calmly and sat in Ruan Yu's previous position. "Since I'm here, I will definitely lay a net of heaven and earth. However, after Ruan Yu is arrested, I'm afraid he will blame the Third Prince. I wonder how the Third Prince will deal with it then?"

The Third Prince played with his teacup and sneered, "You are just a mere ant, you are accusing the royal family without any evidence, you deserve to be killed. I hope that His Royal Highness will investigate it thoroughly. Otherwise, if the matter is reported to my father, I am afraid that I will not be able to talk to His Royal Highness in a good way."

Shen Xuanheng narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of coldness in his gaze.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and make sure the Emperor can't find any fault with it."

The Third Prince's expression gradually turned cold. It seemed that Shen Xuanheng was determined to fight him to the death.

"Then you can check it slowly."

The Third Prince was not worried about Ruan Yu. After all, he and Ruan Yu had only a verbal agreement. No matter what she said, as long as he did not admit it, Ruan Yu's words would be empty talk.

The third prince stood up slowly and walked towards the stairs.

"correct."

The third prince took a few steps and turned his head with a smile.

"I heard that the Crown Prince's wife went to Qingshui Village. There are dense forests and mountains 200 miles away, and there are many bandits. The Crown Prince must send someone to protect her to avoid any mistakes."

Shen Xuanheng suddenly lowered his gaze and looked at the third prince with sharp eyes.

The third prince smiled and walked away.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't pack your clothes. We can buy some when we get somewhere else!"

The village head's wife heard what he said and sighed, "You old man just won't listen to advice. Now you are worried. Don't you think that this world belongs to others? Where can you escape to?"

The village chief's face darkened when he heard her words.

"But are we going to wait here to die?"

The village head's wife sighed and stuffed her bag into the cabinet. "Why don't I go and ask the Crown Prince's wife for help? Since she can come back to deal with the tomb matter for a maid, she must be a kind person..."

The village chief's heart moved, and just as he was about to speak, he saw several guards rushing in.

"You, come with us, the Crown Princess wants to see you."

The guard pointed at the village chief with an unfriendly tone.

The village chief seemed to be under a spell, at a loss and dared not move.

Seeing this, the village chief's wife took the initiative to walk out of the door and said, "My old man is injured, why don't I take his place?"

Li Qing shook his head and said slowly: "The Crown Prince's Consort said that we have to carry it over."

After saying that, Li Qing waved his hand, and the guards rushed forward and carried the village chief away from home.

In the courtyard, the village chief met Su Xuqing again.

This time he was even more frightened and his whole body was shaking.

Seeing how frightened he was, Su Xuqing didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Did you make a few weasel nests on Yinhuan's mother's grave?"

The village chief was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and quickly waved his hands, "My Lady, I did collude with the witch to defraud money, but the hole on the grave is really a weasel's nest, not made by me."

Su Xuqing frowned and his expression became stern.
