Xu Chu glanced at Xiao Qinglang, and saw that he was in a trance, his face was gloomy, so he just stared at the stack of papers. That kind of deep grief and indignation, and the look of wanting to speak and stopping, was something Xu Chu had never seen.

She was silent for a moment, and after a while, she stepped forward and carefully took out the Xue Tao note, only to see a poem written in line on it. The handwriting is elegant and refined, but dignified and beautiful, like a woman with a graceful posture slowly holding an umbrella.

Xu Chu's fingers moved slightly, and he changed the paper to check, and there were still elegant poems with inscriptions on it.

"On the amphibious green pond, fly back together at dusk. The busier will tend to the sun, between the concentric lotus leaves. ”

Although Xu Chu is not proficient in poetry, when he reads this poem, he can't help but feel the tenderness and sincerity of the woman who wrote the letter. Perhaps, there is still a little joy of the little daughter's home.

Xu Chu's heart was stunned, and the question that had bothered him inevitably appeared in his mind. Why did the British duke marry the daughter of the Sun family for three years, but he never had a concubine, nor did he take a concubine

Now these poems are treasured, which may explain the reason. Because the British duke, the heart is not in her!

Somehow, Xu Chu didn't dare to look up at Xiao Qinglang's expression, maybe she already had a guess in her heart, or maybe she didn't know how to comfort him.

And her guess was completely confirmed when she saw the payment on the last Xue Tao note. When her eyes fell on the word "worry-free", the string in her mind completely collapsed

Worry-free, worry-free, there was a concise record on the file about Xiao Qinglang's mother. First Concubine Niangniang, formerly known as Liu Wuwu

She raised her head with a pale face, and looked at Xiao Qinglang with worry and concern in her eyes. But I saw him standing with his eyes down, with a mocking and bitter arc on his lips, and the whole person seemed to be lonely and sad as if he was enduring something.

For a moment, Xu Chu didn't even know how to open his mouth to comfort him.

In that year, the first emperor demoted the concubine Niangniang, who was still acceptable, favored, and favored, to a concubine on the grounds of causing chaos in the harem, and also let her not be buried as a concubine after her death. never took into account that she was the mother of a prince, and she never took into account the affection that she had been with for many years in the palace.

If Xiao Qinglang had always felt that his mother was wronged, then at this time, when he saw these familiar letters, the firmness in his heart gradually wavered.

Xu Chu looked at Xiao Qinglang, who suddenly showed an aura of alienation and indifference, and felt a pain in his heart. She put down the paper and slammed the wooden box shut when Xiao Qinglang didn't react. Then walked to Xiao Qinglang, she chuckled, reached out and attached the back of Xiao Qinglang's somewhat cold hand, and chuckled, "What are you afraid of?" I may also be the daughter of the rebellious Wang Yun, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

"Didn't we prepare for the worst at the time?"

Seeing that Xiao Qinglang was still immovable, she couldn't help sighing. At this time, she didn't care if there were others watching, she directly raised Xiao Qinglang's hand and put it on her cheek, and said in an extraordinarily calm tone, "What's more, I have always believed what you once said, Concubine Xian is not a person without rules." You and I can know each other before we get married, how can we not allow the woman next to us to pay the wrong heart? ”

"Xuanzhi, if you don't want to check, then we'll stop here. After I go back, I just have to take leave to get married, and you have to be energetic to prepare for the wedding ceremony, how about it? ”

That's good

Xu Chu has never changed Xiao Qinglang's name, let alone called the words that only people close to him can call.

And this time, she called him like this, her voice was very soft, but it was very charming and gentle. It was like a breeze on the surface of the lake, rippling with layers of ripples, slowly drilling into Xiao Qinglang's heart, making him feel soft and full of warmth.

He had imagined countless times when his own Xiao Chu would be able to call his name directly. Instead of calling his son-in-law, he is also a prince who is not cold, whether he is married, or when he is emotional, he even thought that if he could kiss her next time, he would definitely coax her to call Xuanzhi once.

However, in any case, he never imagined that this moment would appear under such circumstances.

After Xiao Qinglang fell into doubts about herself, and even about her mother, she asked him without shying away from worry, "Xuanzhi, it's good to marry you"

As smart as she is, how could she not know that their marriage was mentioned at such a time. If one day, the world knows that the concubine had a personal affair with the British public, and then thinks of the last actions of the first emperor, then his bloodline and identity will be questioned.

At that time, even if you want to protect him now, it will be very difficult to come.

In the first half of his life, he was frightened step by step, and in the second half of his life, he may have nothing, or even be infamy. But at this time, Xu Chu even teased his mood.

Xiao Qinglang was stunned for a moment, and the fingers caressing her cheek moved slightly. He felt the delicate warmth from his fingertips, and the breath on the back of his hand as she breathed, and suddenly remembered the night they had been assassinated. At that time, she drugged him, and she was also gentle and gentle.

He trembled and forbearance a little, and finally all his thoughts disappeared into those gentle eyes. Xiao Qinglang sighed lightly in a trance, and said in his heart that he had never noticed when those clear and cold eyes had filled all his figures.

He hooked his lips, rubbing his fingers for a moment with the delicate warmth, and then silently stared at the person who always made his heart flutter, and said, "Even now, I believe that my mother is not a person who disrespects etiquette."

Although she was always cold and indifferent, as if she didn't care about everything. However, in Xiao Qinglang's only memory, the woman who was indisputable, favored, and favored had always been knowledgeable and respectful of the rules.

Otherwise, how could she attract the approval of the queen at that time and the queen mother now?

"Since I know that this is just the deliberate work of that man, how can I really fall into his way?"

The implication is that it doesn't matter whose secrets the case will uncover or what kind of shock it will cause. Now that the investigation has begun, he will not stop.

Xu Chu saw the light smile on his face again, his eyes were gentle and deep staring at him, and his heart couldn't help jumping. She felt a little itchy on her cheeks, and only then did she come back to her senses, and she was still holding his right hand and rubbing it, and immediately felt that the place he had touched was hot.

"Since the prince has decided, then I'll take a look first to see if there are any omissions." After saying that, she turned around and went to look at the Nanmu wooden box in a hurry.

It's just that just when she took the wooden box in her hand, Xiao Qinglang, who was still chuckling just now behind her, suddenly stumbled forward and fell forward.

"Lord Wang!" Wei Guang, who was protecting Liu Deming by the door, showed a rare panicked expression.

Ever since he entered the secret passage, he had been cautious and had not made any mistakes. But why did the prince fall suddenly? He didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly stepped forward to find out about the situation of the prince.

And Xu Chu couldn't care about the wooden box anymore, she quickly turned around, and instinctively reached out to take the fallen Xiao Qinglang into her arms. Even though she was a little struggling, and even her steps were a little trembling, she still didn't let go.

"Genyu no Genyu"

Xu Chu's eyes were cracked, and he was extremely frightened in his heart. A heart, turning rapidly, as cold as falling into the abyss. Even, the calmness that he has always been proud of, is not left at all at this moment.

She trembled and stretched out her fingers to test Xiao Qinglang's snort, and then her voice was panicked and suppressed, and she shouted at Wei Guang with joy, "Brother Wei, the prince still breathes, and he still breathes."

Knowing that Xiao Qinglang was not angry, her sanity returned slightly. After a while, she slowly checked Xiao Qinglang's body, there were no traces of bleeding on her body, and there was no serious smell of blood

The limbs are intact and undamaged.

When her fingers touched Xiao Qinglang's slender bone joints, she suddenly widened her eyes and raised her voice, "Let people check the silver needles launched from the wooden box, except for the crane top red, they can be mixed with the poison next to them!" ”

Wei Yan had already sent someone to find the imperial doctor, and when he saw Xu Chu's serious expression at this time, he didn't dare to delay or hesitate, and personally went to find the silver needles that fell to the ground.

After a moment, he frowned and said, "It's all crane top red, and the silver needles are all black." ”

Xu Chu forced himself to calm down, his thoughts were tumbling in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I can't sit still, Brother Wei, I need a lot of spirits and warm water." ”

Wei Yan saw that her expression didn't seem to be laughing, and then thought that in the case of the Furong Inn, she had indeed used a method they had never heard of to save two young girls in the pile of dead people. Thinking of this, he didn't ask any more questions, and looked straight at the secret guard beside him and ordered.

In a moment, I saw the dark guard go and start again, holding a slightly warm water and a jar of spirits in his hand.

Xu Chu quickly returned Xiao Qinglang, and then forcibly poured warm water into his mouth, and then probed his fingers into his mouth to induce vomiting. On the other side, the wound is cleaned with a fire lit with spirits.

Fortunately, the wound was not deep, and Xiao Qinglang moved quickly, only hurting a layer of skin and flesh without letting all the poisonous needles not get into his hands. Otherwise, at this time, I am afraid that the Da Luo Immortals will be difficult to save.

The autumn breeze was light, with the coldness of the autumn rain, and it was also mixed with a little bloody air.

A quarter of an hour later, a well-trained Praetorian Guard, with dozens of servants and Gyeonggi Guards, rushed to the deserted British palace. After the three passers-by converged, the British Mansion was completely surrounded like an iron bucket.

After another quarter of an hour, three imperial doctors and several doctors who were now hot in the capital came, and even the descendants of Old Imperial Doctor Sun rushed over with solemn faces.
