"It's possible that the person who took the Heaven Robbery Prison should also be him."

Chu Xi nodded in agreement. Although Prince Jing was kidnapped, she was poisoned and without an antidote, she would not survive the night.

"Xi'er, do you still remember the conspiracy you encountered when you returned to the palace some time ago?"

Yan Jingshuo pulled Chu Xi into his arms, held her slightly cold little hand and asked her.

"Was it the time when Sikong Shu blocked the way?"

"right"

"Of course I remember, what's wrong?"

"After Sikong Shu was injured, wasn't she rescued by a man in black? I guess that man in black is the same one we just fought."

Chu Xi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Your Highness may have guessed correctly, because Prince Jing has been secretly colluding with Sikong Shu, so it's not surprising that they are together."

"That means Prince Jing might be in Sikong Shu's hands." Chu Xi propped himself up and looked at Yan Jingshuo in surprise.

"As expected of Xier, you understand the problem immediately." Yan Jingshuo's eyebrows were curved and he smiled very dotingly.

"If that's the case, with Sikong Shu's medical talent, she should be able to easily bring Prince Jing back from the brink of death."

"Hmm." Yan Jingshuo nodded slightly, and then his deep eyes gradually became cold, and he said slowly: "It's time to settle the account between us and Yanyue Palace."

"Your Highness..." Chu Xi called softly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"This will only give them more breathing space. It's better to eliminate the problem once and for all."

Yan Jingshuo had long wanted to wipe out the Yanyue Palace's lair in one fell swoop, but the timing had never been ripe. Now is just the right time.

"Your Majesty, I agree."

As long as Sikong Shu is alive, no one can expect peace. Chu Xi felt that she would not easily give up the opportunity to snatch the Fire Cloud Bracelet, so she would definitely come to cause trouble again.

Instead of being passive all the time, it is better to take the initiative and settle the grudges between them.

After a night of heart-wrenching screams and painful torture, Huang Jing finally calmed down at dawn and fell into a coma.

Ye Qian and Xue Ye kept their eyes open and watched over her all night, fearing that Huang Jing would not be able to endure it and choose to give up.

Seeing that Huang Jing no longer screamed in pain, Ye Qian, with dark circles under his eyes, went forward to check on her and tried to wake her up:

"Your Majesty?"

Huang Jing lay quietly on the bed without moving, her breathing was steady, her face was pale, her eyes were closed. The swelling on the place where she was bitten by the holy insect had subsided, leaving only a few shallow tooth holes, proving that she had been bitten before.

"Oh my, it was really a ghost screaming all night, making it impossible to sleep at all."

Sikong Shu walked in yawning and rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"You witch..."

As soon as Sikong Shu opened her mouth, Ye Qian was furious. His scarlet eyes glared angrily at Sikong Shu, who was dressed brightly and had a seductive posture, and his fists were clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.

Sikong Shu ignored him, pretending not to see Ye Qian's gnashing teeth. She twisted her waist and came to Huang Jing's bedside. She reached out to feel her pulse, and after observing for a moment, she spoke:

"It seems that the ghost's screaming all night is effective. The two poisons have offset each other. The person is fine now."

When Ye Qian and Xue Ye heard what Sikong Shu said, their originally gloomy expressions instantly brightened up.

"Witch, are you telling the truth? Is the prince really okay?"

Ye Qian, who was angry just now, immediately asked excitedly.

"Heh... How can a weak little girl like me deceive a great general like you? If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself. His breathing is steady and his lips have no signs of blackening, which proves that there is no poison left in his body."

Sikong Shu spread her hands and signaled Ye Qian to look for himself.

Ye Qian turned her head to check and found that it was just as Sikong Shu said. Her breathing was steady and her lips were not black. Only then did she feel relieved.

Very embarrassed, he bowed to Sikong Shu and said, "I am so sorry, Palace Master. I sincerely apologize for my bad attitude before. I hope you don't mind. Your Excellency is magnanimous and forgive my previous rudeness."

"General Ye, you are too polite. I didn't save him just for your sake. I saved him because Xue Ye asked me to."

Sikong Shu said this and threw a coquettish glance at Xue Ye who was standing aside like a taciturn person.

"Forehead……"

Ye Qian's face flashed with embarrassment, but he still apologized calmly: "Even so, I still want to apologize to you for my previous rudeness."

"Then forget it. I never care about what others think."

After saying this, Sikong Shu turned and left, leaving Ye Qian standing there with his back bent. Seeing that Huang Jing was safe and sound, Xue Ye also followed Sikong Shu out of the room.

Seeing Xue Ye leave, Ye Qian did not even go over to check on his mother. He immediately shook his head and sighed, "This is a typical example of someone forgetting his mother after getting a wife. He has been bewitched by this witch."

Xue Ye, who had not walked far, stopped, turned around and gave Ye Qian a sharp look, which scared Ye Qian so much that he shut up obediently and looked up at a 45-degree angle to check if there were any spider webs on the beams.

Sikong Shu walked out of the room and saw Xue Ye following him out. She looked at him with a sweet smile and said, "Why, why don't you stay and take care of your mother?"

"It's okay."

Xue Ye spoke with a wooden face. The warm sunlight shone on his body, and his fatigue instantly dissipated a lot.

"If you follow me like this, the prince will be sad when he wakes up and can't see you."

Sikong Shu looked at him and smiled charmingly.

"With General Ye guarding here, there's no point for me to stay there."

At this time, a subordinate wearing Yanyue Palace clothing quickly approached them and said in a deep voice:

"Palace Master, we found Hall Master Sun..."

"Now that she's found it, why doesn't she come to see me?"

Sikong Shu turned around and glanced at the subordinate, and found that she was the only one there. She did not see Sun Yuqiong, so she frowned and asked.

"Palace Master, Hall Master Sun has already..." The subordinate's eyes flickered, not knowing how to start.

"She's already what?"

Sikong Shu looked at her subordinates who were hesitant to speak, and suddenly felt inexplicably anxious. She hurriedly opened her mouth to ask.

When Xue Ye, who was standing by, heard this, his eyelids twitched and he realized something.

"Master Sun has been...she has been killed."

"What? How could this happen?"

Sikong Shu's face suddenly changed. Originally, she had apprentices to prepare for her old age, but why did they die earlier than her?

She trained two relatively talented apprentices, so how did it end up like this?

Sikong Shu's eyes turned red at this moment, and she shouted angrily: "Go and find out who has the guts to hurt someone from Yanyue Palace?"

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

The subordinate nodded in response, then turned and left.

"Wait a minute..." Sikong Shu stopped her.

"Palace Master?"

The subordinate stopped and waited for Sikong Shu's instructions.

"Take this palace master to have a look..."

Sikong Shu shook her sleeves and walked out quickly. Seeing Sikong Shu walking out, Xue Ye followed her.
