Chapter 264: Exploring the East Palace at Night

That night, Ji Ruhuan still did not respond to Princess Xinyi's request, she slept in the guest room, in the middle of the night, in the dead of night, there was a slight sound at the door.

Ji Ruhuan sat up from the bed, and through the candlestick in front of the bed, he could see that Ji Ruhuan was actually wearing a black night coat.

Ji Ruhuan sat in front of the bed and looked at the door, and saw the Nine Emperor Uncle, who was also dressed in night clothes, pushed open the door.

Ji Ru walked up happily and asked, "How is it outside?"

Dugu Chiyan responded, "Don't worry, you can't wake up for a while, you are fully prepared, and your clothes have been changed." ”

Ji Ruhuan showed a flattering smile at the Nine Emperor Uncles, "Isn't this just waiting for you, let's go." ”

When he arrived at the door and saw Xiaohua, Ji Ruhuan opened his mouth and ordered, "You are guarding here." ”

After that, the two of them quietly walked out of the Yiran Palace and went to the East Palace where the prince lived.

When I arrived at the East Palace, the outside was heavily guarded, but because it was too late, it was not without a chance.

Ji Ruhuan and the Nine Emperor Uncles were both skilled, and the two of them quietly entered the East Palace while the guards were changing shifts.

In this East Palace, as Ji Ruhuan expected, except for a few subordinates who were on vigil and napping at their posts, there were basically no people.

The two of them easily touched the prince's residence, and listened to the coughing sound coming from inside, and the two of them glanced at each other.

Thinking that talking for a while might alarm others, they still put down the subordinates on duty around them first, and then quietly touched the prince's bedroom.

When the two entered, they saw the prince sitting in front of the bed, coughing and breathless, and the princess was lying on her side, caressing the prince's chest for relief.

Seeing the two black-clothed people who suddenly appeared in front of the bed, the princess was startled and was about to call for help, Ji Ruhuan hurriedly pulled down the cloth towel on her face and said in a low voice, "My cousin is me, Ruhuan." ”

When the crown princess saw Ji Ruhuan, her eyes lit up, she forgot to calm down for the prince, looked at Ji Ruhuan and said excitedly, "Ruhuan, why are you here at this time?"

The prince, who was originally coughing and couldn't breathe, may have been frightened, but he actually stopped coughing, looked at the man in black standing in front of the bed, frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The crown princess on the side hurriedly explained for the two, "Your Highness, don't worry, they definitely have no malicious intent. ”

The prince frowned, "Then why did the third watch trespass into the East Palace in the middle of the night, Ruhuan, who is this person?"

Without waiting for Ji Ruhuan to answer, he heard Dugu Chiyan on the side respond lightly, "Ruhuan's fiancΓ©." ”

The crown prince and the crown princess both looked at Dugu Chiyan in surprise, and after a while, the prince said in surprise, "You are the closed disciple of that old man of Tianji?"

Dugu Chiyan nodded.

Ji Ruhuan watched the prince say so many words in one breath, and his spirit was not bad, it seems that it is really as Xinyi said, the prince has indeed improved a lot.

At this time, the crown princess found that she and the prince were both sitting on the bed in their middle coats, and said with some embarrassment, "Can you go and sit down for a while?"

Dugu Chiyan nodded, then pulled Ji Ruhuan to turn around and sit down at the table, with his back to the prince and the two.

The crown princess quickly put on her clothes, put on her coat for the prince, and tidied up a little.

She knew that Ruhuan came to the East Palace at this time, there must be something important, but it was not the time to be poor and exquisite, so she cleaned up, got out of bed, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Only the prince was unwell, and he definitely couldn't get up, so she adjusted the cushion behind the prince and asked the prince to sit up.

After everything was cleaned up, the crown princess spoke, "It's okay, you are here at this time, but there is something?

Only then did Ji Ruhuan turn his head to the Nine Emperor Uncle and answer, "No, it seems that the prince's health has improved recently?"

The crown princess nodded, leaned on the bed and said, "I feel much better, I heard Yu'er say that it was the medicine you gave, thank you." ”

Ji Ruhuan responded, "We came here precisely for this matter, and the two of them must know in their hearts that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not sick, but poisoned." ”

As soon as Ji Ruhuan finished speaking, he saw that the prince's face changed, and he reprimanded coldly, "Don't talk nonsense, this palace has been weak and sick since childhood, and has been tortured by illness for many years, and it is not easy to live until now, how can you say that you are poisoned?"

Ji Ruhuan frowned slightly, looked at this prince, and pondered in her heart whether this prince really didn't know or pretended not to know?

At this time, the crown princess had red eyes, choked in a low voice and said, "Your Highness, why do you deceive yourself like this, after all these years, the concubine doesn't believe it, you don't know." ”

The prince didn't know whether he was angry or anxious, his originally pale face was actually slightly red, and he opened his mouth to scold, "Yu'er, who told you to talk nonsense?"

The crown princess said excitedly, "Your Highness, they are here to help us, do you really plan to go down like this, and then wait for death in this deserted East Palace?" Your Highness, do you think about it for the concubine, the concubine disregards the opposition of the family, and marries you wholeheartedly, don't you think about yourself, but also think about the concubine?"

Ji Ruhuan looked at the princess's uncontrollable emotions, and felt a little uncomfortable, and looked at the Nine Emperor Uncles, and saw that the Nine Emperor Uncles shook their heads slightly, and Ji Ruhuan had to hold back for the time being.

The crown prince looked at the crown princess like this, his eyes were also red, he reached out and grabbed the princess's hand, and said softly, "You don't want to be like this, haven't I treated you badly all these years?"

The crown princess wanted to shake off the prince's hand, but after all, she couldn't bear it, let the prince pull it, choked up and continued, "What's the use of being good to me, I know, you have always had a fluke mentality in your heart, thinking that it was your queen mother, she couldn't do anything to you, but how she treated you, can't you feel it all these years?"

Ji Ruhuan listened to her cousin's words, and looked at the Nine Emperor Uncles, with both clarity and surprise in her eyes.

Obviously, the two of them have long suspected that the prince's poisoning is related to the queen, but they are a little unconvinced, after all, poisoning the prince, no matter what the purpose, is harmful to the queen.

What is the purpose of the queen poisoning the prince? Moreover, the tiger poison does not eat children, this queen actually attacked the prince, is it true that the prince is not born to the queen?

Both of them had a bunch of questions in their minds waiting to be answered.

At this time, the crown princess continued, "You think that she is the queen mother, and she will definitely not harm you, but do you know what she did to me behind her back?"

The more the crown princess spoke, the more she broke down, but she whimpered and cried sadly.

The crown prince looked at the crown princess who was crying so sadly, and said in disbelief, "What did the queen mother do to you?"
