Chapter 208: The Madman's Mansion
"Are you done?" Chu Yi asked lightly.
His expression was cold and indifferent, completely different from what Xiao Qingchu had thought.
"That's it. Cousin......"
As soon as Xiao Qingchu shouted, he saw Chu Yi frowning and said, "Let's step back after speaking." β
This tone is like driving away an inconsequential subordinate.
Xiao Qingchu never expected that she would learn Xiao Qingxue's "whistleblowing", and instead of being favored by King Yi, she would be treated like this.
How could she be willing!
"Cousin, are you...... Don't believe me? β
Xiao Qingchu said unrelentingly: "What I said, everything is the truth, Daddy has made this matter known to the Queen Mother, and the mother is angry, but she has issued a decree to hide this matter from you, which ......"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Chu Yi:
"Whether it's the truth or not, this king will check it clearly, dare to talk about the queen mother in Renshou Palace, your courage is not ordinary."
This time, his tone was already chilling.
Xiao Qingchu bit her lip and looked at him: "As long as it's for you, cousin, I, I'm willing to give up this life." β
These words made Shen Shu shudder for no reason.
Speaking of which, in the "previous life", the county lord, for the sake of her cousin, it was not her own life that she gave away, but Shen Shu's life.
Chu Yi always paid attention to Shen Shu, and was afraid that she would misunderstand him and Xiao Qingchu.
Hearing Xiao Qingchu's shameless words, his face instantly turned cold.
"Stand down!" He scolded in a loud voice.
It's just a few words, but it carries ten percent of the evil spirit.
Xiao Qingchu had never seen King Yi so angry, and he knew that Fang Cai's words were already offended.
She hesitated for a momentβ
When her eyes fell on the tea in the hand of "Huaixi", her eyes flashed, no longer entangled, and she bowed and walked towards the outside of the side hall.
Wait until Xiao Qingchu's footsteps and walk far enough.
Only then did Chu Yi turn around and look at Shen Shu, who was bowing his head and looking pensive.
"Angry?"
"Huh? What the? Shen Shu came back to her senses and raised her eyes in surprise: "What are you angry about?" β
Chu Yi looked at her and pointed to the teacup.
"You just said I ...... Monkey anxious, I'm with ......"
"Oh, it's this." Shen Shu didn't wait for him to finish, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "This tea was drugged with Dream Butterfly Grass, so I casually made up a statement." β
Chu Yifeng's eyes condensed slightly, and there was a crack in his cold face: "It's just...... Casually made up? β
"Could it be that His Highness has already noticed this?"
Shen Shu suddenly realized: "That's why His Highness handed me the water, just so that I could test the poison?" Your Highness is indeed wise. β
Chu Yi, who was praised as "wise": ......
Shen Shu saw that his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, pursed his lips and said nothing, thinking about temptation: "Your Highness's words to Xiao Qingchu, believe it...... Still not convinced? β
"What about you?" Chu Yi didn't answer and asked, "Do you believe it or not?" β
"I don't believe it." Shen Shu shook her head decisively: "I don't believe a word." β
"Why?"
Chu Yifeng's eyes were slightly picked: "There are almost no loopholes in her words." Xiao Qingxue couldn't wait for Chu Zhan in my house for a long time that day, and told me that the voice I heard in the rockery was Xiao Baiyuan.
It's just that Xiao Baiyuan has received an errand these days and is not in the capital. On the day Xiao Qingxue heard the voice, no one saw him go home. Yes, Xiao Qingxue's testimony cannot be counted.
This king learned that he would return to the palace today to resume his life, and thought that he could meet him, but he didn't expect that he ran away, but Xiao Qingchu, who was informant, came. β
When Shen Shu heard this, her heart sank.
"Your Highness said this, did you believe Xiao Qingchu?"
She hurriedly said: "Xiao Qingchu's remarks were obviously carefully prepared. If, according to her, it was Siu Pak Yuen who instructed the novice to poison him, then where did the poison come from?
They must say that Xiao Yuanliang is the protector of Yunjiang, and Xiao Jingsi may not be without these poisons, and it sounds impeccable.
However, just now we found out that in the incense ash of the Taiji Palace, there are burned bats and bird wings. This kind of thing can only be obtained by Bai Jin, even if Xiao Yuanliang is alive, he is still the protector of the capital of Yunjiang, and he may not have seen these things......"
Speaking of this, Shen Shu couldn't stop it, and suppressed the words that came to her mouth-
What's more, regardless of Xiao Baiyuan, who is the concubine of the Chengen Mansion, he has no chance of ascending to the throne at all.
Let's just say, the past life...... It was their Shen family who died in Yunjiang, and Xiao Yuanliang was alive and well.
Xiao Yuanliang is not dead, there must be no revenge of Xiao Baiyuan, and in the end, King Yi did not die in the Great Huguo Temple.
Therefore, Xiao Qingchu's words sounded like a whistleblower in the morning, but in fact, every word was all to excuse the Chengen Mansion.
I can't say it, it's that they noticed that the matter was exposed, and took the initiative to let Xiao Qingchu enter the palace, and all the omissions they exposed were all pushed on Xiao Baiyuan, the ghost who died for the dead!
Thinking of this, Shen Shu's pupils suddenly constricted.
If what she expected was right, is Cheng'en Mansion crazy?
How dare they murder the Saint and the King of Light?!
The Queen Mother...... And what role does it play here?
Shen Shu did not forget that he was in Renshou Palace at the moment.
Before there was empirical evidence, he made it clear in front of King Yi that "there are ghosts in the Chengen Mansion and the Queen Mother." β
She didn't have the guts yet.
She looked at Chu Yi with her eyes blank and said earnestly: "Your Highness, I know that Xiao Qingchu really admires His Highness, but thinking about it is one thing, people like her will never be like Xiao Qingxue, who really puts her interests behind, Your Highness must believe me, don't believe her words." β
This was Shen Shu's sincere admonition.
And yetβ
Listening to Chu Yi's ears, it seemed to have a faint sourness.
Still misunderstood, jealous.
Chu Yi didn't show it on his face, but he was very proper in his heart.
"That's nature." He said lightly: "You remember, no matter when, the only person this king believes in the most is you." β
When Shen Shu heard this, her heart was relieved.
She didn't even savor the meaning of these words, so she hurriedly handed the tea cup in her hand to him.
"Then this tea ......"
Chu Yi's eyes were slightly cold: "Since we have been tricked into this Renshou Palace, naturally we can't go back empty-handed, you go and call Xiao Liuzi in." β
Shen Shu smelled the meaning of "doing things", so she didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly put the teacup on the small table, lowered her head, and walked out of the side hall.
Xiao Liuzi did not go far, but knelt under the corridor outside the side hall.
Shen Shu beckoned to him.
When he walked into the side hall, Chu Yi picked up the tea cup on the small table, handed it to him, and ordered, "Drink it." β
*
At the same time, in the side hall on the other side of the main hall of Inshou Palace.
Although Xiao Qingchu sat upright on the chair, her expression was obviously a little absent-minded.
She kept thinking back to the scene when King Yi asked "Huaixi" to try tea.
I think nine times out of ten -
Your Highness is going to drink that cup of tea.
As long as he drinks that cup of tea, his plan for today will be stable.
It was not in vain that she took a lot of pains and took great risks to take advantage of the Queen Mother's visit to the saint in the Taiji Hall to do this......
