"Antidote?"

Chu Yunyu knew that he couldn't escape, so he became bolder.

He looked at Wei Xingli and answered irrelevant questions.

"You like her, why? Because she is beautiful and can give birth to a child for you?"

Wei Xingli frowned. What nonsense is this?

A sword was placed on Chu Yunyu's neck. "Antidote."

"Antidote? What antidote? Chu Yizhao is poisoned? I have no idea what you are talking about. Kill me if you have the guts."

It would be best to kill Zhang Ruyi as well. If he dies, others will not have an easy life either.

Chu Yunyu laughed provocatively, with a hint of madness hidden in his laughter, and he seemed to be throwing away all hope.

"You don't know, Chu Yizhao is not a daughter of the Quyang Marquis's Mansion at all, but a bastard who came from nowhere and robbed my sister of fifteen years of wealth and glory.

"You killed an official for her. At the very least, you will be stripped of your title and imprisoned, or even beheaded! Is it worth it?"

Bullshit doesn't sink in.

Wei Xingli sneered, his sharp eyes seeing through his cowardly disguise at a glance.

If a person wants to die, he won't say a word. He pretends like this because he is still afraid of death.

"One last time, the antidote."

Chu Yunyu's eyes narrowed, and his fingers trembled slightly, "I..."

"A Ming wants to save your life, so I'm only giving you three chances. If you can't seize them..."

"You, go to hell, I, will go to the Qinzheng Hall to drink tea."

Wei Xingli's eyes were filled with rage, and he pointed at Chu Yunyu's head with his slender fingertips.

In the afternoon, Ah Ming rushed into his arms with blood in his mouth. He even wanted to cut the Chu family father and son. But Ah Ming was right. During the treatment period, one should not increase the sin of killing, which would reduce the blessings.

Seeing Chu Yunyu standing there in shock, he raised his eyes, turned his wrist, and the tip of the sword passed over the junction of the neck and shoulder. A thin piece of pink flesh floated in the air and fell into Chu Yunyu's horrified eyes.

"what--!"

"Ah, what's that? It's so noisy."

Wei Xingli looked down at him coldly, "What kind of person is the Chu family? A legitimate daughter is so precious, and she was born in your mother's belly. How can she have two more heads than others?"

"A man who is forced to marry, a woman who is forced to marry, a family of lowly people, it is unlucky to be born in your family."

Chu Yunyu covered his shoulder, feeling extremely painful. He was furious when he heard that. "You!"

Thinking of the man's purpose, he hastily argued, "I really don't know what the antidote is. My father's letter was handed directly to Zhao Zhao by this servant. I didn't even touch it..."

He pointed to the dead body on the ground.

Wei Xingli stared at him with a smile on his face, his eyes grim. A gust of cold wind blew by, and Chu Yunyu shuddered violently. Before he could see the deep meaning in Wei Xingli's eyes, he heard him say,

"Shut up your mouth. Stop when you tell me the whereabouts of the antidote."

"Wei..."

Lu Feng thought the prince's words sounded strange, but the prince couldn't be wrong, "You are not allowed to call the prince by his name. You are committing treason. You should wait for death."

Chu Yunyu's mouth was blocked and his eyes widened.

on purpose!

This person did it on purpose.

Torturing him on purpose!

No matter what he said or did, Wei Xingli refused to accept it!

The north wind howled, the winter plum blossoms trembled and fell, dark clouds blocked the moon, black fog rolled, there were tearing screams, and the smell of blood was everywhere.

Half an incense stick later, Chu Yunyu fell to the ground, biting the rag and covered in blood and sweat. He was breathing out more than breathing in, and his lower body clothes were soaked with fishy smell. His eyes were blurred, and the black boots he stepped out of the room flashed and turned into moon-white brocade shoes.

The shoe surface was covered with white rabbit fur, and it stepped on the stains of blood and water and stopped in front of my eyes.

"Chu...Yizhao..."

Chu Yunyu struggled to open his eyes, and the familiar pretty face appeared clearly. He looked up, and felt that this face he had seen since childhood was extremely unfamiliar.

"You dare to come here after you harmed me like this..."

"Why not? You poisoned me, and I just took back the antidote."

"You are so good for instigating outsiders to deal with my elder brother..." Chu Yunyu gritted his teeth. Facing the suppression of power, he did not have the strength to fight back.

Chu Yizhao looked at him, his forehead covered in cold sweat, blood slowly flowing out from his body with his heavy breathing, and bone-eating resentment distorted his face, which was as steady as jade.

She laughed.

The Chu family is so funny.

Why not use a knife? She couldn't even catch Chu Yunyu's tail by herself. To deal with soft-bodied animals, Wei Xingli's sharp weapon was needed to drive them into their lungs unreasonably.

"You poisoned me, and I haven't even retaliated yet, but you hate me like this? Brother, when did you become so impetuous?"

"Don't call me big brother!" Chu Yunyu spat out a mouthful of blood, veins bulging on his forehead, "You don't deserve it."

Chu Yizhao rolled his eyes.

Not suitable again...

Chu Yunyu covered his shoulder, "Do you think you won? What if the prince of Yue favors you? He is a short-lived ghost, and he won't live for more than two years. When your identity is exposed, what can the Yue Palace accommodate a powerless bastard?"

Chu Yizhao narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous coldness appeared in his phoenix pupils. It was not certain who would die young.

I thought what Chu Huai sent was a declaration of war, but the light-colored powder on the seal was actually ordinary pollen, which was non-toxic. The gray line on my wrist felt a little itchy when it hurt.

Not poison.

She pierced her wrist and aimed the blood at the palace lantern. The light shone in and the blood-red blood bulged slightly, as if a living thing was struggling outwards.

It's Gu.

The pollen at the seal is the mediator.

Langzhou City is two days' drive from Shangjing City. Even with a fast horse, it would take until the afternoon or early morning of the previous day to get there. The pollen still carries the fresh scent of branches, so it can't be Chu Huai.

She thought about it carefully and felt that the person suspected to be the culprit would not say the word "bastard".

Then...

"Brother, what do you mean by that? The Prince of Yue is in charge of the Palace, and will inherit it in the future. The Prince has promised me that he will marry me as his principal wife. Even if he leaves, with the Queen Mother and His Majesty's protection, the Prince will not dare to do anything to me."

Chu Yunyu looked contemptuously at Chu Yingxue, as stupid as she was. "How dare you believe a man's words?"

"All men in high positions have three wives and four concubines. Even a man as devoted as my father went to his concubine's room after his mother became paralyzed."

Chu Huai had two concubines, one was a reward from his grandmother and the other was given by his superior. He had a willful temper and had a good relationship with Zhao Shuzhen, so he kept them in the backyard and never moved them.

Not long after she fell unconscious, Chu Huai was banished from the capital. In such a short period of time, Zhao Shuzhen was still conscious.

Chu Huai favored his concubine?

Chu Yizhao was a little shocked.

If I had known he was so impatient, I wouldn't have let him do all those things.

"Very surprised."

Chu Yunyu propped himself up and leaned against the chair leg, a trace of hatred flashed across his face.

"The love between husband and wife for more than 20 years is like a joke. I wonder how long the prince can keep you, one year? Two years? Even Princess Qianyang, who has such a distinguished background, has become miserable now because her father is away from Beijing. What about you?"

Me…

I poisoned him.

Chu Yizhao didn't show it on his face, and he hesitated as he followed his words, "Then according to what Big Brother said..."

Chu Yunyu curled his lips. The palace lantern was placed on the table. The soft light was blocked by the back of the table, casting a shadow over his clear eyebrows and eyes. The profile of his cheek seemed to be bright and dim, adding a bit of gloom. His smile was deep.

"I don't care about my mother's affairs."

"But you have to help me..."

"help you with what?"

"The Marquis's Mansion needs a dignified and sensible wife for the Crown Prince. Zhang Ruyi... is not suitable."

Chu Yizhao smiled, "You're asking for a lot."

He is both the prince and his wife.

Chu Yunyu was in so much pain that he had no strength left. He leaned his head weakly on the black wooden armrest.

"There's something wrong with Zhang Ruyi. You must have known that a long time ago."

"But you didn't remind me and just watched her..."

Ruined me.

A trace of humiliation flashed across his eyes.

Chu Yunyu didn't say anything else.

Chu Yizhao curled his lips in an ambiguous tone, "It's just an arrogant and overbearing maid. What's the problem? You are greedy for her wealth and power. Just bear with it and it will pass."

Chu Yunyu was silent.

"As for the matter about mother, was it He Yue who told you?"

Chu Yizhao guessed it, but this matter really had nothing to do with her. "If He Yue told you the truth, you should understand that this matter is not my fault."

"Chu Yingxue won the reward from His Majesty for her dance. She did not seek power for the Marquisate, nor did she seek the title of Crown Prince for you, nor did she even seek a high position for herself. In that situation, even if she proposed to establish herself as a princess, His Majesty would have considered it in his heart. But she just asked for a concubine for herself..."

"My mother had brokered a match for him and deceived so many noble ladies and children. How could she not be angry at this result?"

A sudden wind hit the trees, the empty dead branches swayed and collided, and the frozen snow and ice fragments fell down, making people feel uneasy.

Chu Yunyu raised his head, his dark eyes were as deep as the abyss, "What do you want?"

Chu Yizhao said a name calmly.

Chu Yunyu's expression instantly cracked, "If you want me to die, just say it!"

"No hurries."

The blood stained the exquisite embroidered shoes. Chu Yizhao smiled, a dark and cold smile that he had never shown in front of Wei Xingli.

"Brother, you are so smart that you will always find a way."
