In fact, the handmaidens really couldn't hear anything.

They were deaf and mute people who had only been brought in by the Duchess of Cheng'en in the morning.

Duchess Chengen pushed the door in, looked at her granddaughter, and her face sank.

She reprimanded in a deep voice, "Look what the hell you look like! His Royal Highness has been thinking about you for many years, but he is impulsive and can't help himself, and now he keeps his promise and will marry you into the East Palace in a few days. ”

Xiao Qingchu remembered all the things last night, and shivered all over, she shook her head again and again: "Grandmother, it's not like this, he's not ......"

As she spoke, she stretched out her scarred arm from the quilt and cried to Duchess Chengen: "Look, I'm covered in such wounds, he's not human, he's not human, grandmother......"

Duchess Chengen saw the injury on Xiao Qingchu's arm, and a little pity flashed in her eyes.

But then—

She walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said in a low voice, "What is this, but it is just suffering in the affairs of men and women, and it is nothing compared to the honor of the future mother's honor in the world." ”

When Xiao Qingchu heard this, she looked at her grandmother in disbelief.

"Grandmother, you have always loved your granddaughter the most, the prince dares to do this to his granddaughter today, and he will dare to attack the Chengen Mansion tomorrow, and if his granddaughter marries him, it is ...... with the tiger"

Before she finished speaking, she was coldly interrupted by Duchess Chengen: "You have become his person, if you don't marry him, who else can you marry?" Now that the Queen Mother has made a decree, marrying him is an honor, and if you don't marry, you will have a bunch of bones, which one do you choose? ”

Xiao Qingchu clutched the quilt tightly, her face full of grievances and injuries.

"I'm going to ...... with the Queen Mother"

Halfway through her words, she thought of what Chu Xin had said in the secret passage last night, and her teeth trembled, and she couldn't stop it.

Seeing this, Duchess Chengen sighed: "Do you know that after you chose the prince in front of the Queen Mother, our Chengen Mansion got on the prince's ship, and now, even the Queen Mother ...... The Queen Mother did such things, but she couldn't help herself. You chose the person, and you went to see him behind your back last night, and you can't blame anyone. Even if it is seeking skin with the tiger, grandmother also hopes that you can endure it for the sake of the Xiao family, as long as you have a stomach to rely on, no matter what you do in the future, the Xiao family will help you. ”

Although Duchess Chengen said these words vaguely, Xiao Qingchu understood it.

The implication is that the grandmother can also see that the prince is unreliable, as long as she can conceive the prince's flesh and blood, the Xiao family will definitely help her do what she wants.

Xiao Qingchu thought of all the things last night, and the humiliation and resentment in her heart made her want to break Chu Xin's body into pieces.

However, because of Duchess Chengen's words, she gritted all her emotions and swallowed them into her stomach.

Xiao Qingchu nodded and said, "Okay, I listened to my grandmother and endured everything until the day I was pregnant with a dragon seed." ”

At the same time that the Chengen Mansion and the crown prince were scheming and calculating-

For a whole day, Chu Yi was not idle at all.

While mobilizing all the manpower of the Northern Ya, he followed the clue that Bai Yi's descendants and the Chengen Mansion had the old, and made every effort to trace the clues of the Cheng'en Mansion's contacts with Yunjiang in the capital over the past 30 years.

On the other side, after learning the news that the crown prince proposed to marry Xiao Qingchu, Chu Yi quietly doubled the forbidden army in the imperial city.

In particular, the guards of the Taiji Hall were more heavily guarded than before.

After nightfall, Chu Yi read the news presented by Beiya carefully.

When I saw his gaze fall on a seemingly inconsequential little thing in the Cheng'en Mansion, his eyes darkened.

"Where is the prince at the moment?" He asked in a calm voice.

Ying Wei replied respectfully: "After going to Renshou Palace in the afternoon to ask for instructions, the prince went to the Taimiao, and he has never taken a step out of the Taimiao so far. ”

Chu Yi put the note in his hand and stood up.

"Follow me to the Taimiao."

With that, he strode out the door.

At the same time, Shen Shu, who was in the Yongning Eldest Princess's Mansion, was also busy for a whole day.

She and Twilight, who had come to help, went through two fake medical books they had received from the Emperor, trying to get some clues to the blood poison.

However, a whole day passed, and no progress was made.

When she was at a loss, Shen Shu took out the imperial tomb drawings that Chu Zhan gave her countless times, but hesitated to put them in her sleeve.

Stay until late in the evening—

In Shen Jinming's increasingly suspicious gaze, Shen Shu knew that the matter was very important, and it was not a way to hide it from him.

He simply told Shen Jinming all the poison of the bat bird and the coma of the Yunling County Lord.

Shen Shu originally thought that the third brother would be surprised, shocked, and blame himself for the unconscious of the Yunling County Lord.

But I didn't expect that-

Shen Jinming seemed to be recalling something, hugged his head and pondered for a moment, and then nodded with a calm expression.

"Got it." He looked at Shen Shu and said softly: "In this way, it is not a matter of one or two days for this poison to be cured. After all, none of us are in danger of life for the time being, do everything within your means, don't be too tired yourself. ”

Shen Shu didn't expect that when the third brother heard about such a big thing, the first thing he thought of was her.

She nodded with red eyes: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely find a way to detoxify my brother and the county lord." ”

Shen Jinming looked at her and pulled a pale smile.

The brother and sister said a few words again, and Shen Jinming kicked Shen Shu out of the room under the pretext of resting.

When Shen Shu left the courtyard, Shen Jinming struggled to get out of bed.

He leaned against the wall, endured the pain in his leg, and moved out of the room and into the courtyard.

When he listened intently and was sure that his sister had left completely—

Shen Jinming looked at the empty courtyard, straightened his clothes, and said solemnly: "Is there a shadow guard guarding His Royal Highness King Yi in the courtyard?" The lower official has a reluctant request, and asks the lower official to give a message to King Yi on behalf of the lower official......"

As these words fell, a black shadow flew over from under the corridor not far away, and bowed his hand respectfully to Shen Jinming: "Please speak bluntly to the third young master, the villain will definitely tell the family master." ”

Shen Jinming's eyes were slightly relaxed, he sighed for a few breaths, and said meaningfully: "Please also tell Your Highness that if Your Highness is useful to me, Shen will ...... Never give up. ”

When the shadow guard heard this, he was slightly stunned.

Immediately, he bowed his hand to Shen Jinming and said goodbye, and flew towards the outside of the courtyard.

After the shadow guard left, Shen Jinming supported the handrail of the railing under the corridor, slowly sat on the bench under the corridor, looking at the night sky in the distance, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

*

Taimiao.

Just like last time, the people who were on duty daily in the Taimiao were all dismissed cleanly.

Chu Yi strode into the entire hall of the Taimiao Temple and walked in front of the prince.

He grabbed the crown prince's shirt and lifted him up.

"I'll only give you one chance." Chu Yi said coldly: "Tell me, what is the prescription you gave me?" ”
