Surprise! The boss of the last days, reborn before the engagement

The prince frowned even more tightly when he heard this. He knew Chu Xiangxiang's feelings for him very well, and he also understood that there was indeed some stubbornness and unwillingness in her character.

But on second thought, he felt that this matter was too strange: "Although what you said makes sense, I did feel something was wrong with my body at that time, as if I had been drugged. The doctor took my pulse but found no signs of poisoning. Why is that?"

The secret guard hesitated for a moment and replied, "I dare to guess that you may have encountered a skilled poison master.

This poison may be extremely rare, difficult for ordinary doctors to detect, and even the poisoned person himself may not be aware of it. If not, how can you explain your condition at that time?"

The prince nodded in agreement: "Your analysis makes sense. But this way, the possibility of Chu Xiangxiang is ruled out.

Although she has the wits, she doesn't have the ability to do this. So, who is the mastermind behind this?"

The secret guard continued: "I have also thought of a possible candidate, Chu Tianqi or Chu Tianze.

The two brothers have always been opposed to the marriage between their master and Chu Yiyi. Perhaps they resorted to such despicable means in order to prevent this marriage."

The prince's eyes shone when he heard this: "Are you saying that they might sacrifice their concubine sister for Chu Yiyi?"

The secret guard lowered his head, not daring to look the prince in the eye: "I am just guessing, and I don't have any solid evidence, but I can't rule out this possibility."

The prince was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he raised his head and asked, "Besides them, are there any other possible candidates?"

The secret guard hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "There is another person. Although it sounds a little unbelievable, it cannot be completely ruled out - Left Prime Minister Chu Yichen."

The prince was shocked when he heard this, "What? Chu Yichen? How is this possible? He is the left prime minister of our dynasty, he holds a high position and has great power, why would he do this?"

The secret guard explained: "Master, please listen to my analysis. Although Chu Yichen was respectful to the master on the surface, he might have his own plans in secret.

He doesn't want his daughter to marry into the East Palace and become the future queen. After all, he is also opposed to what's going on between you and Miss Chu Yiyi."

Upon hearing this, the prince fell into deep thought. He knew that this guess was too bold, even absurd.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was not impossible. After all, in this palace where power struggles were fierce, anything could happen.

The prince finally shook his head, "But... I still think this possibility is not high. Although Chu Yichen is scheming, he is the left prime minister of a country after all, and he must have some scruples in his actions. He can't ignore the interests of the country for Chu Yiyi."

The secret guard heard this and knew that his guess was too bold, so he stopped talking. The study room fell into silence again, with only the crackling of the candle and the occasional chirping of insects outside the window breaking the tranquility.

The prince paced in the study for a long time and finally made a decision: "This matter is of great importance and must be thoroughly investigated.

You continue to investigate this matter secretly and make sure to find out the real culprit behind the scenes. At the same time, strengthen the defense of the palace to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

The secret guard took the order and left, and the study returned to peace. But the prince's heart was in turmoil and could not calm down.

He knew that this storm was far from over, and he would be drawn into the vortex of this power struggle again...
