The minion knows his mistake! The minion knows his mistake! The eunuch kowtowed very loudly, and all the hearts of everyone present beat with his rhythm. The hearts of the people are panicked, and the people are leisurely.

Seeing that the emperor was about to order his execution, the crown prince suddenly spoke: "Pull it out quickly, hit the twenty boards, don't let him go!" ”

The prince looked at the people around him, and the attendants who had followed the prince for so many years naturally understood every look of the prince and immediately understood what to do next.

They set up the eunuch and dragged him out of the banquet hall, and then the sound of slapping boards and wailing could be heard outside, and many women covered their ears and refused to listen.

"How can such a rough eunuch play the board, he should be dragged directly to the Shen Criminal Division!" After all, the cup of tea that was spilled was the only evidence, and it was difficult to guarantee that this eunuch was an accomplice to the poisoner.

The queen hurriedly seized this opportunity and comforted the emperor and said: "Okay, the emperor is angry, don't talk about this eunuch anymore, hasn't the prince already helped his father and emperor deal with it." ”

The crown prince smiled at the emperor, who for some reason always felt that all this seemed to be planned, but he couldn't produce evidence, so he had to give up.

The crowd began to stir, and now although the poisonous tea in front of him has been knocked over, the silver needle is firmly placed in front of the emperor, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be any food poisoned in this banquet.

The king of Chu stood up and proposed: "Father, it is better to order people to thoroughly investigate the surrounding food for the sake of safety, so as not to harm people's lives with poisonous substances." ”

The emperor nodded in agreement, and the king of Chu began to arrange for his subordinates to start the examination with Imperial Physician Zhang. The whole dinner party is now in a happy atmosphere, people are panicking, everyone is afraid of the person who poisoned behind the scenes, and even worried that they have drunk the poison.

All the noisy discussions, whispers, and those unkind glances at her made Ji Wan feel uncomfortable. In fact, what is even more uncomfortable is that she has witnessed what makes people's hearts.

The queen who was still praising her one second would not hesitate to kill her for her child the next second, she looked up at the queen, and the queen also looked at her, and a complicated feeling permeated in the eye contact between the two.

Chi Wan took the initiative to resign and said: "The emperor and queen, forgive Chi Wan for being unwell, so I will retire first." ”

The emperor said: "Well, go down, it's difficult for you to encounter this kind of thing today." ”

Seeing that his target was leaving, the prince hurriedly stopped: "Father, the matter has not been thoroughly investigated, and no one can leave here." ”

"What does the prince mean, could it be that I gave this poison?" Ji Wan said.

"I ......" In fact, the prince just didn't want to let go of this opportunity to frame Chi Wan, and if the plan failed, he would try again, but if she left her now, there was really nothing she could do, "I'm just thinking about everyone's safety." ”

"If it's really me who poisoned me, why should I harm myself?"

"Okay prince, let her go." The emperor was obviously a little annoyed by these things, "This kind of thing happened in the palace today, it is really a joke for outsiders to see our royal family." ”

"Yes, prince, let her go, I didn't expect Miss Chi to be so frightened today, it's better to go back and rest early."

The queen looked at the crown prince's envoy, and when he got the words of these two, he dared to say anything else, so he could only agree: "The son obeys the order." Then he reluctantly watched Ji Wan leave.

Xie Yutang, who was on the side, saw the opportunity to say a few words to the King of Chu, and then left with Chi Wan. No matter how careful he acted, he was still seen by the queen.

The queen narrowed her eyes carefully, she would not let Chi Wan go, even if she escaped this time with good luck, she would not let her go until she woke up!

The long road in the palace was cold and cold, and the cold wind was comparable to Chi Wan's cold heart, after experiencing so many setbacks, she didn't expect that she would be involved in the royal grievances, which made her overwhelmed.

She just wanted to live well, she didn't want to have grievances and conflicts with anyone, she was forced to travel here, thinking that she could live in peace in the farmhouse for the rest of her life, but who knew that this series of things had happened.

She sighed, looking at the cold moonlight, she wanted to vent a little, vent the dissatisfied and uneasy emotions in her heart. But the other party will not stop, from assassin to poison, step by step, she must always be vigilant in order to save her life.

On the bluestone pavement, there was only Chi Wan alone, but in such a quiet environment, she heard hurried footsteps, and the direction was also towards her.

Not good, wave after wave? Ji Wan had to speed up her pace and wanted to get out of the palace quickly. She lifted the hem of her skirt and walked faster and faster, even trotting, but the one behind was also in hot pursuit.

Chi Wan was flustered until she heard a familiar call from behind her: "Wan'er." Then she stopped and looked back, and the familiar figure came out of the darkness, he was tall and majestic, but his face showed a worried look that was different from his body shape and temperament.

"Xie Yutang?" I don't know why, Xie Yutang was a lot more relieved when Chi Wan was by her side, and she asked puzzledly, "Why are you here?" ”

"I'm naturally worried about you......" Xie Yutang walked over slowly, he wanted to hug Chi Wan into his arms, but this was the palace, he held back the desire in his heart, and asked: "I didn't expect that someone at the palace banquet would dare to do something to you, and when I find out the people behind this scene, I will ...... it."

"Yutang, think about it carefully, how many people can openly poison this palace banquet?" Chi Wan's words made Xie Yutang ponder, and then he understood what she meant, and said in shock, "Do you think it is?" ”

"That's right, Yutang, the Chi family is not strong, and why did I appear at this palace banquet, have you ever thought about it?" Chi Wan said, "It's the crown prince, she took advantage of Chi Xia, gave her an invitation, and then forced her to bring me here. ”

"It's the crown prince!" Xie Yutang was annoyed, the crown prince and the king of Chu also had enmity with him, he knew it in his heart, but why did he involve the innocent Chi Wan?

"Today's poisoning is not the beginning," Chi Wan hesitated and finally planned to tell Xie Yutang about it, "I also encountered an assassin assassination a few days ago, and I think this incident was also done by the prince." ”

"Yan Mar has told me about this matter, and I have also specially sent someone to secretly search it, but unfortunately to no avail, so this series of actions is really the prince's fault?" I thought that if you don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, but the prince is obviously dying, and he actually moved his beloved woman.

Chi Wan lowered her head, and in front of Xie Yutang, she showed the weakness in her heart. She rubbed her hands up and down restlessly, and bit her lips lightly, as if I saw pity.

Xie Yutang looked distressed, and his voice softened unconsciously: "Wan'er, I'm really worried, worried that something will happen to you." ”

"It's okay Yutang, aren't I still here?" Chi Wan barely smiled, not wanting Xie Yutang to worry about her safety anymore.

At this moment, only the sound of footsteps came from in front of him, and Xie Yutang, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, naturally had excellent hearing, and this sound came from the fork in the road in front. He instantly strode in front of Ji Wan, protected her behind him, and assumed a defensive posture.

"Be careful!" I saw a figure flying past me quickly, and dozens of guards surrounded the two of them. They looked at Ji Wan with fierce eyes, and it was obvious that the target was her. But in a blink of an eye, I saw Xie Yutang beside me, and someone whispered, "General Xie? ”

"Why is General Xie here?" The guards led by him were obviously a little embarrassed, thinking that the queen who sent him had ordered to end Chi Wan's life, but now because Xie Yutang was on the side, it was not easy to do things.

"General Xie, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's better for you to leave here quickly." The guards tried to get Xie Yutang to leave, but Xie Yutang was determined to protect Chi Wan: "If you let me go, I'll leave?" Dare to openly intercept in the palace, who sent you, say! ”

"General, we don't want to trouble you, it's just that this woman behind you, she provoked people who shouldn't be messed with."

Xie Yutang and Chi Wan glanced at each other, and instantly knew each other's thoughts from each other's eyes, these people were probably the pursuers sent by the queen or the crown prince.

"If you want to take her life, you must pass me first!" Xie Yutang pulled out the saber he was carrying, and the long sword glowed coldly in the moonlight, making those guards take a few steps back in fear.

"Since the general is like this, we won't do it today, we just want the woman behind you to know, don't be obsessed with some things that shouldn't be, and it's good for her to give up early."

Then, the leading guards sent a signal to retreat, and several guards quickly left, leaving only two people standing on the long path.

Xie Yutang confirmed that there was no danger, turned around and gently touched Chi Wan's head, reassuring her, "It's okay." ”

Ji Wan let him touch him for a while, then took a step back and said, "I'm fine, I should go back and get out of here early." She already had a resistance to the palace in her heart, and she hated it.

"Okay, it's just that I can't let the prince do this anymore!" Xie Yutang looked like he had a strong sense of justice, as if he was going to fight with the prince in the next second, "I can't allow you to live in such an uneasy environment anymore." ”

"Wait a minute, do you want to talk to the prince?"

"He's done his part, looking for assassins to assassinate you, poison you, and frame you? I just insulted your reputation in public at the banquet, how can you let me endure it? ”

"But Yutang, we don't have any evidence to expose him, and now many things are just our speculations or inferences, and we can't convince others to tell them that the prince is behind it."
