"Sister is joking."

Shen Lanxi: "Call me Lord Protector of the Country or Lord Shen. The Prince of Zhennan and I are on duty now!"

Bai Qingling froze for a moment, then said unnaturally: "Then didn't I disturb your work?"

Shen Lanxi: "Now that you know, why don't you leave quickly? Do you think the three of us look good standing together?"

Bai Qingling froze. She didn't expect Shen Lanxi to speak so sharply and not give her any face at all.

She is now in the Zhennan Palace, Shen Lanxi is so outrageous!

"Qingling, you go back first!" Zhou Ruyuan said unhappily as he looked at the vague gazes around him.

Isn't Bai Qingling worried that Shen Lanxi and the prince will work together, and afraid that the two will fall in love and rekindle their old love?

The reason why the prince has been so cold to her these days must be because of Shen Lanxi.

Why does Shen Lanxi always have to interfere? Can't she stay away from the prince?

"Your Highness, I made some cakes myself, thinking of serving them with tea in the afternoon!" Bai Qingling took the basket from the maid with a gentle smile.

Seeing Bai Qingling like this, Zhou Ruyuan didn't want to hurt her feelings, but he also didn't want to be stared at.

"Put it here, and go back quickly!"

The smile on Bai Qingling's face almost broke, but fortunately her reason allowed her to hold back and not make a fool of herself.

"Your Majesty, I will go back now."

Bai Qingling turned around and took a few steps when she heard Zhou Ruyuan say to Shen Lanxi behind her: "The snacks at the post station are not good. Try the snacks made in the palace!"

Bai Qingling almost tore the handkerchief.

Shen Lanxi: "The princess made these for the prince herself. How can I take away someone's love? The prince, please eat these cakes yourself!"

"It's nothing, just a few cakes!" Zhou Ruyuan said lightly.

Bai Qingling was going crazy.

Does the prince know that these cakes are not easy to come by? She soaked the beans herself yesterday, got up before dawn, and has been busy until just now, without even drinking a sip of water.

How could she give away her feelings so casually?

"Princess, Queen Concubine Shu is waiting for us in the palace." The maid reminded.

If it weren't for this reminder, she would have almost turned back.

After watching the excitement, the envoys in the post station closed their doors and discussed the matter.

Some lamented that Zhou Ruyuan was short-sighted, some measured Shen Lanxi's value, and some plotted secretly.

"Many officials visited the Zhennan Palace privately yesterday."

"Emissaries from several small countries sent people to the market to inquire about prices and purchased a lot of things."

"They also asked about you and the Prince of Zhennan."

Shen Lanxi listened quietly: "As long as it doesn't cause any trouble, don't worry about it."

"Yes!"

She had just said that she would not cause trouble, but the envoy of the Yue Kingdom was poisoned.

Fortunately, the Yue Kingdom also brought palace maids to test poisons, and when they were eating, the servants took a bite first.

Because the incident happened at the post station, Shen Lanxi and Zhou Ruyuan were held accountable first.

"If this prince's servants had not eaten the food first, our entire delegation would have been poisoned!" Yue Chuhe asked angrily.

"Shen Lanxi, did you poison me?" Yue Chuhe asked face to face.

Zhou Ruyuan stood in front of Shen Lanxi.

"There is no evidence, Third Prince Yue cannot make false accusations without proof."

Yue Chuhe said angrily: "So many people saw what happened between me and her at the entrance of the post station, and also saw me presenting gifts to the palace. Shen Lanxi must be holding a grudge against this prince!"

Shen Lanxi pushed Zhou Ruyuan away and said, "Yue Chuhe, we have a saying in the Great Zhou Dynasty: catch the thief and take the stolen goods, catch the adulterer and take the couple. You have no real evidence, and I also suspect that you were the one who poisoned and murdered me and wanted to frame me."

"Nonsense, how could I poison my own servant!" Yue Chuhe was so anxious that he didn't even say "I am the prince", which showed that he was really anxious.

Shen Lanxi: "That's not necessarily true. After all, there is a saying that goes, 'The thief cries 'Catch the thief.' This is not something I have never experienced before, sacrificing myself to frame others!"

Yue Chuhe was so angry that he almost exploded.

"If I don't tell you, you will just make excuses for yourself. I'm talking to the King of Zhennan..."

"This matter is not as simple as the poisoning of my servant. This matter is aimed at the envoy of my Yue Kingdom."

"This prince wants to go to the palace and meet the Emperor of your Great Zhou!" Yue Chuhe shouted loudly, obviously not wanting to end things peacefully.

Zhou Ruyuan said with a straight face: "I have ordered people to seal the entire inn. Prince Wangyue, please give me some time so that I can find out the whole story and find the real culprit!"

Shen Lanxi: "Yue Chuhe, you don't want to be known as the thief crying thief, right?"

Yue Chuhe immediately said angrily: "Okay, I'll give you one hour. If you can't find the murderer, I will go to the palace to sue you for harboring the murderer."

Shen Lanxi: "Okay!"

"I'll check the source of the poison, and you check the origin of the food and who has come into contact with it!" Shen Lanxi said to Zhou Ruyuan.

"Okay!" This arrangement was reasonable. Zhou Ruyuan had no objection and turned to go to the kitchen.

What Yue Chuhe is most worried about is Shen Lanxi. He wants to keep an eye on Shen Lanxi the whole time to prevent her from destroying the evidence.

Ban Si Cao: "It's poison, mixed in the food."

He then found the dish that was poisoned.

Shen Lanxi: "Poison is not common, right?"

In front of Yue Chuhe, Ban Si Cao couldn't say that this was the most commonly used poison in the Poison Palace.

"It's not a rare poison, but it's rare among the people."

Shen Lanxi's eyes flashed: "Let someone go to the pharmacy to check!"

Ban Si Cao stepped aside.

Yue Chuhe was anxious: "That's it? Aren't you the Duke of the Protectorate? Aren't you very capable? Why haven't you found the murderer yet?"

Shen Lanxi said unhappily: "After you poisoned someone, would you stay where you are? Even a fool would know to run."

Yue Chuhe roared: "How dare you insult this prince?"

Shen Lanxi looked at his raised hand and warned him coldly: "I advise Prince Yue San to think carefully before taking action. I will not stand here and let you hit me."

Whether she breaks a leg or an arm after she fights back depends entirely on her mood.

Zhou Ruyuan is here.

"Someone in the kitchen is sick today, so we asked a neighbor to help. But that helper is not here, so we've sent someone to get him."

Yue Chuhe glared: "Something happened to the delegation in your Great Zhou. You, the Great Zhou, must give an explanation!"

Zhou Ruyuan: "I have already ordered someone to report to the palace, and I will give you an explanation as soon as possible."

Yue Chuhe snorted coldly: "You people of the Great Zhou are naturally biased towards your Great Zhou. If this matter is hastily resolved, after returning to the country, this prince will definitely report to my father and cut off the food supply of the Great Zhou!"

Zhou Ruyuan's heart sank; this was what he was most worried about.

"Don't worry, Third Prince Yue, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!"

Yue Chuhe was still angry, and only after several envoys from the Southern Kingdom surrounded him and tried to persuade him did he stop yelling.

Soon the guards came to report.

"Reporting to the prince, the kitchen helper died at home, and his neighbor's family was murdered. When we rushed over, we didn't see any suspicious people around. The thieves had been at work for a while."
