When the prince saw Chu Heng coming, he had a good look towards Chu Heng for the first time.

"Fifth brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you used to the Shenji Camp?"

Chu Heng stepped forward and said, "Thanks to my royal brother, I'm doing fine and have a lot of free time."

The prince sneered in his heart, "Idle?" Maybe he has no ability and just holds an empty position?

"I heard that the fifth brother has been very close to the third brother these days?"

"We are all brothers, so it's okay to move around more."

The prince put down his teacup and said seriously, "Don't pretend to be ignorant in front of me. I don't believe you don't know the Third Brother's ambition!"

Chu Heng's expression did not change. He took a sip of the tea, looking calm and composed.

The prince was impatient, and seeing this, his face darkened and he slammed the table and said, "Chu Heng!"

Chu Heng then raised his head: "Brother, are you afraid that I will join forces with my third brother?"

"Chu Heng, don't blame me for not reminding you. Don't let yourself be sold out and help others count money. In the end, you won't even know how you died."

Chu Heng chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" The prince frowned.

"Royal brother, I have no interest in that position, and it is even more impossible for me to join forces with the third royal brother." It is even more impossible for me to stand on your side.

The prince was full of doubt: "Really?"

"Brother, please call Doctor Zheng to come over."

The prince looked alert.

He actually knew that Zheng Fangsheng was his man!

Although he didn't know what Chu Heng was going to do, he still asked someone to tell Zheng Fangsheng.

After just a cup of tea, Doctor Zheng came in.

Chu Heng stretched out his wrist and motioned for him to take his pulse.

Zheng Fangsheng glanced at the prince, who nodded slightly.

Zheng Fangsheng stepped forward and put his hand on Chu Heng's wrist.

The pulse is strong, why let him do this?

He confirmed again and again and took the pulse carefully.

Suddenly, his eyes widened with shock.

"This, this, this..."

Chu Heng withdrew his hand, looking indifferent.

"What's wrong?" the prince asked anxiously.

Zheng Fangsheng's face was still filled with shock. He walked to the prince's side, bent down and whispered to him for a while.

The prince suddenly looked at Chu Heng who was drinking tea, with an indescribable expression on his face.

"Go down, and keep this matter to yourself!" the prince ordered.

"Yes, I will retire."

After Zheng Fangsheng left, the prince lowered his voice and asked, "Who poisoned me?"

But he soon guessed it.

In this palace, the only ones who attacked him were himself and Chu Ze.

Chu Ze's move was too insidious.

He was simply squeezing Lao Wu openly and secretly. Chu Ze appeared to be tolerant and kind on the surface, but secretly he poisoned Lao Wu in such a vicious way.

Knowing that Chu Heng was not a threat to him, and was even less likely to stand on Chu Ze's side, the prince looked at Chu Heng with a little more sympathy.

"Fifth brother, are you just going to let him go like this? Are you resigned to your fate?"

"So what if I don't accept my fate? I am a powerless prince..."

The image of my brother with blood all over his face appeared in my mind.

This poison would be a disaster for anyone, let alone the prince.

But to him, it was no big deal.

"Fifth brother, come and help me!"

For a long time, Chu Heng did not respond.

The prince stood up and said, "If you want to understand, come and tell my brother."

After saying that, he stood up and left the Zichen Hall.

Shanlan came in, feeling angry and distressed.

"Your Highness, how can you open your scar and show it to others?"

"What kind of scar is this? If it can make Chu Jing let down his guard, it's worth it." Chu Heng said indifferently.

He only hated that time passed too slowly. When he was twenty years old, he would be able to ask to go to his fiefdom and stay away from the capital.

But before leaving, I have to avenge my mother and brother.

"How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

"Your Highness, we have found some information. We are following the clues and I believe we will be able to find out everything soon."

Chu Heng nodded, "I have been dormant for so many years, it is time to end it before leaving."

……

After staying in the house for a few days, Cheng Jiuyuan felt that if he stayed in the house any longer, he would become exhausted.

She left the house early in the morning with her two maids and headed towards the Pei family's house in the suburbs of Beijing.

Leaving the bustling city, the carriage sped along the official road.

Cheng Jiuyuan opened the curtain and looked at the scenery which was completely different from that of Gusu. The suburbs of Beijing in autumn also had a unique flavor.

The mountains are splashed with ink, the water is blue, and the green is mixed together.

It was troublesome to pretend to be sick. She just hoped that the prince would choose a concubine soon and she could "recover" quickly.

After lowering the curtain, Cheng Jiuyuan picked up the chess piece and started playing chess.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and Cheng Jiuyuan quickly grabbed two girls who were about to hit the wall of the carriage.

"Are you okay?"

"fine."

"Uncle Pei, what happened?"

The Pei family was afraid that the horses would be frightened again. The coachmen were all servants of the Pei family. They were good at driving and riding horses and had a lot of martial arts skills.

The driver's voice came from outside the carriage: "Girl, the horse in front got startled and bumped into our carriage."

Soon, an old man's cry of pain was heard outside the car.

Cheng Jiuyuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw an old man lying on the ground with blood all over his face. The crazy horse had already run away and the other carriage was in pieces.

The old man didn't care about his injury and shouted, "Come back! Come back quickly! Ouch..."

"Uncle, you should just take care of yourself," said Mu Jin.

"Oh, that's the master's horse. How can I be worthy of it if it runs away?"

"Girl, I'm sorry, I didn't expect the horse to go crazy and hit your carriage..."

The old man apologized and tried to get up to chase the horse, but his leg bone seemed to be broken and he couldn't get up for a long time.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at the old man with blood all over his face and asked Mu Jin to get some water from the car.

This place is deserted, and if someone else gets tricky, they will definitely rely on them.

This way, not only do you not have to compensate the owner for the horse, you can also make a profit.

But the old man didn't.

"Girl, water."

"Take care of the old man first."

After saying that, she tiptoed the ground and leaped towards the crazy horse.

At this time, another carriage came from behind.

The driver shouted coldly: "Whose carriage is it? Why is it blocking the road?"

Song Lan said, "Didn't you see that an old man was injured? What will happen in a while?"

At this time, a warm and pleasant voice came from the car: "Buddha's hand, what's wrong?"

"Master, the carriage ahead has hit someone and can't pass."

Chu Ze lifted the curtain of the carriage and heard a delicate cry.

Looking up, he saw a woman in white jumping up and down on the mad horse. The horse was quite far away, so he couldn't see her face clearly.

Her black hair was flying and her movements were nimble. She tightened the reins and ran back and forth a few times in the distance.

The mad horse couldn't throw her off its back, and the horse gradually calmed down.

After the woman tamed the horse, she rode towards this side.

When he got closer, Chu Ze stared at the scene in front of him without blinking.

In early autumn, the lush green trees begin to turn colorful.

Amid the colorful forest, the woman on horseback has her clothes fluttering in the wind, and her hair is lightly tied up with a light blue silk ribbon. Her extra long hair is scattered behind her, and the silk ribbon and long hair are flying in the air along with the fallen leaves.

There is truly a beauty in the valley, leisurely enjoying solitude.

She came close and dismounted. Her movements were smooth and pleasing to the eye.

Cheng Jiuyuan handed the reins to Mu Jin and squatted down to check the old man's injuries.

"Woad, get some sticks."

"Yes, girl."

"Thank you so much, girl. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do."

Cheng Jiuyuan treated the old man's wounds silently, and held the old man's calves and feet without feeling disgusted.

"It may be a little painful, please bear with it." Without waiting for the old man to answer, he exerted force with his hands.

The old man cried out in pain, and after two more "clicks", Cheng Jiuyuan took the wooden stick and fixed the old man in place.

"Half Moon can't use force."

After finishing the work, she stood up and said to the driver, "Take this old man back home."

"Girl, then you..."

"This place is not far from my uncle's house. I can go there by myself."

Cheng Jiuyuan stood up and was about to leave when someone suddenly called her from behind.

"This girl..."

Cheng Jiuyuan immediately clenched his fists.

She will never forget this voice.

Chuze!

She whispered to Mu Jin, "You and Song Lan go back to the city and wait for me. Don't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion yet."

After saying that, she ignored the people behind her and used her Qinggong skills to leave.

"Stay away, girl!"

Chu Ze was stunned, and immediately flew out of the carriage and chased after him.

The girl was so skilled that even he couldn't catch up with her.

Chu Ze stood there, curling his lips and smiling.

This girl is interesting.

As long as they are in the capital, there is no one he can't find.
