It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

On the second day, Shang Xingjian brought Su Wanti to the palace to express his gratitude.

Inside the palace, Emperor Ning and the Empress sat at the top.

Su Wanti lowered her eyes and kowtowed, her movements were precise and her manners were elegant and dignified.

Emperor Ning stroked his beard and smiled, "As expected of the Princess Huide, who was conferred by me personally. She is well-mannered, kind-hearted and capable. She is a role model for women in the world!"

The Queen smiled gently, "Princess Huide, please get up soon. You won't have to do this ceremony in the future. You saved Prince Rui, which is a great contribution to the royal family and the country. You risked your life to save Prince Rui, which is also considered saving my life. I will remember this kindness in my heart."

Shang Xingjian, however, put his fist to his lips to hide his smile.

Now Su Wanti is dressed like a noble lady from the capital. She stands upright with her eyes half-closed, speaks softly, and moves in a dignified and graceful manner, which is completely different from her usual lively and lively appearance.

very funny.

Su Wanti heard Shang Xingjian's snickering, but her eyes were fixed on a certain spot on the gold bricks on the ground, and she didn't even glance in his direction.

Seeing the woman's calm and solemn look, Shang Xingjian's smile deepened.

Every move of her son could not escape his mother's eyes. The queen looked at her son, then at Su Wanti, her eyes curved.

She had already received the letter that Nanny Gui had brought into the palace, which said that her son and this Miss Su ate and slept together every day and had a close relationship.

The queen didn't mind a commoner woman entering her son's harem, as long as the commoner woman was liked by her son and had good character.

When she saw her today, she found that Miss Su was stunningly beautiful, elegant in manners, calm in temperament, not arrogant, nor noisy or talkative, and she was very satisfied.

What's more, his son's love for her is obvious. She also saved his son's life, and her medical skills can also be used by his son in the future.

The more the queen looked at Su Wanti, the more satisfied she became. She asked Su Wanti to sit closer, held her hand and talked to her for a long time, and also gave her many rewards.

After expressing their gratitude, Shang Xingjian and Su Wanti left the palace together and returned to Prince Rui's Mansion.

On the return carriage, Su Wanti remained silent and her face looked quite solemn.

Shang Xingjian felt that the woman's expression was not right, so he approached her, lowered his head and asked softly, "Ah Wan, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak?"

After the two of them ate and slept together that night, Shang Xingjian began to call her "A Wan".

He knew that was what her family called her.

Su Wanti shook her head and frowned, "Your Highness, I have discovered something, but I don't know whether I should tell you. If I guess wrong, I will be guilty of a serious crime, but if I guess right, I will be in big trouble."

Shang Xingjian looked at Su Wanti's serious expression and couldn't help but believe it.

He asked tentatively: "Is it about my mother?"

Su Wanti shook her head.

Shang Xingjian's heart sank, and his voice trembled, "Is it about my father?"

Su Wanti looked at him and nodded slightly.

At this moment, Shang Xingjian's heart was pounding. If anything happened to his father, Daning would be in chaos.

"Let's go back and talk."

The carriage soon arrived at Prince Rui's Palace. Shang Xingjian took Su Wanti to the study in the main courtyard. The door was closed tightly and the most trusted guards were guarding outside.

"Awan, what did you find?" Shang Xingjian was worried.

Su Wanti said, "I smell a strange smell on your Majesty. I have smelled this smell on Xu Denggao, the governor of Luzhou."

With a crisp "pop" sound, the teacup in Shang Xingjian's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

He was absent-minded for a moment, his eyes became darker, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and a surge of anger was surging in his chest.

Shang Xingjian's clear eyes were bloodshot due to extreme anger, his fists were clenched tightly, making a crackling sound, and his fingertips turned white due to excessive strength.

Su Wanti glanced at him and said slowly: "Looking at your Highness's reaction, do you have an idea?"

Shang Xingjian lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, and let go of his anger.

After a long while, he said quietly, "I roughly know who did it, but the evidence is insufficient now. The other party is extremely cautious. If the other party destroys all evidence and refuses to admit it, I am afraid that my father will not believe me."

"But I can't just leave it alone. Otherwise, if my father gets poisoned, then Daning will be in danger."

"And your life is in danger." Su Wanti said.

Shang Xingjian looked at her solemnly, "What else do you know?"

Su Wanti shook her head. "I don't know. These are just my guesses."

"It is impossible to do anything without leaving traces. I guess your Highness's secret guards have already found out that the governor of Luzhou has colluded with people in the royal family to amass a lot of wealth in Luzhou and privately opened a gold mine. The money was used to refine zombies, privately forge weapons, and recruit soldiers."

"The royal family has spent so much energy planning all this, of course, for the throne."

"After the current emperor ascended the throne, some of the brothers were exiled, some were imprisoned, and those who stayed in the capital were idle princes who did not fight for power and had no real power."

"The mastermind behind the incident in Luzhou should be a certain prince."

"As for which prince is the most suspicious, Your Highness should know better than me."

At this moment, Shang Xingjian's anger was relieved and his emotions calmed down. He looked at Su Wanti with approval in his eyes.

He nodded, "You guessed right. I sent people to investigate and found that all the clues about the incident in Luzhou pointed to Concubine Li and the second prince, Prince Ping."

"But if we want to indict them and prove their guilt, we still lack some solid evidence. They are cautious and it is hard to find evidence, but I think if we spend more time, we will be able to find all the evidence."

After that, his eyes darkened, he sighed, and said: "However, looking at the current situation, I am afraid that there is not enough time."

Su Wanti said: "Your Majesty has been poisoned by the zombies. It is important to save your Majesty's life first, and we can work out the rest slowly."

Shang Xingjian pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps I can use their trick against me."

After that, his eyes lit up slightly, "Ah Wan, please give me the antidote to the zombie poison. I want to go to the palace to see my father immediately."

In fact, he has already collected most of the evidence, but these evidences are not enough to sentence Concubine Li and Prince Ping to death.

It would be much easier if King Ping were to be made to believe that his plan was going smoothly and he could expose all his crimes with his own hands.

Su Wanti thought about it for a moment and understood what he was thinking.

She smiled lightly, took out a jade pendant from her bosom, and placed it in Shang Xingjian's palm.

"I have been in the capital for a few days and found that the capital is prosperous on the surface, but in fact it is complicated and turbulent. Your Highness is the eldest prince, and is valued by His Majesty and the Queen. There are dangers all around him. This is the jade pendant that Your Highness gave me on the day we met. I have been soaking it in a special antidote. Now the time is short. Although wearing it cannot cure all poisons, it can detect them. Your Highness should carry it with you for self-defense."

This was the jade pendant that Shang Xingjian left for Su Wanti as collateral when they first met. She placed the jade pendant in the spiritual spring in the space to nourish it for some days, and the jade became more transparent and even had the ability to detect poison.

Shang Xingjian took the jade pendant and his eyes curved. Ah Wan thought so much about him and even gave him something to test for poison. He felt satisfied and happy beyond words.

He carefully put the jade pendant on his waist and gently stroked Su Wanti's hair, his eyes full of love.

"Just stay in the mansion and I'll be back soon. Don't worry, I will protect myself, and I will also protect you and your family."
