Everyone suddenly turned their eyes on Shen Ninghua.

This Yang Yingxue in front of her is Shen Ninghua's cousin, and the things that her cousin gave her cousin are poisonous, and she also hurt the eldest lady of the Xiao family, no matter how you look at it, it smells of conspiracy.

Shen Ninghua's expression was flat, which made Yang Yingxue feel panicked in her heart.

Originally, Xiao Huanxi invited her to come to see the birthday ceremony, but she didn't expect the birthday ceremony to be locked so well, the key couldn't be opened at all, and in a hurry, Xiao Huanxi took a hairpin to poke the keyhole, hoping to open the lock, but her hairpins were all hostas, which was not applicable at all. Yang Yingxue pulled out her hairpin and gave it to her, but the hairpin accidentally cut Xiao Huanxi's hand, causing her to faint directly.

Yang Yingxue was completely panicked, and when she saw Shen Ninghua coming, she subconsciously asked her for help.

Xiao Jingran strode forward and carefully helped Xiao Huanxi up: "Please forgive me, the old man will deal with this matter first, and then apologize to you." Chen Yuanzheng, please help Huanxi take a look. ”

Chen Yun, who happened to come to the banquet, walked out and stepped forward to check the wound on Xiao Huanxi's hand.

The wound was not deep, and not much blood did not come out, but the skin and flesh around it were faintly purple, which was obviously a symptom of poisoning.

Chen Yun frowned, unable to settle for a while.

Xiao Jingran's cold gaze swept over Shen Ninghua's body, and the cold like a substance sent chills down the spine.

Chu Junyi frowned tightly, his eyes fell on Xiao Huanxi gently, and he couldn't say the complicated emotions in it: "Uncle Chen, is there anything wrong with Sister Huanxi?" ”

Chen Yun pondered for a moment and said: "If I am not mistaken, the poison in Miss Xiao should be Zimian, this poison is extremely rare, it can only be refined from the purple sleeping flower growing in Jiangnan and a variety of medicinal materials, and after poisoning, it will make people fall asleep until they die in their sleep." His tone was rather heavy, and if you listened closely, you could hear the slightest disgust.

Yang Yingxue was already frightened, and when she heard this, she hurriedly got up and stayed away from the hairpin on the ground, for fear of being touched by poison.

Xiao Jingran turned his head to stare at Shen Ninghua, and his voice couldn't be suppressed: "Lord Zhaohua, you should have studied this medicine, my daughter needs an antidote now, please take it out!" ”

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes, and a cold light flashed under her eyes: "What does Old General Xiao mean by this?" Are you sure I got the poison? ”

Xiao Jingran pursed his lips tightly, the aura on his body kept changing, and the bloody aura that had passed through the battlefield rushed towards Shen Ninghua. Yang Yingxue felt her heart tremble when she was just affected by that breath next to her, and she almost couldn't help but kneel on the ground.

But Shen Ninghua stood indifferently from beginning to end, not even a single hair moved.

Xiao Jingran's eyes flashed with a fine light, he had been in contact with Shen Ninghua when he was in Linjiang City in the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief, I have to say that this woman is indeed amazing, and her mind is smart enough, he also admires this junior, but when she had a conflict with her baby daughter, the balance in her heart naturally tilted.

"If it's not the county lord, then it's Yang Yingxue?"

In Xiao Jingran's gaze, Yang Yingxue's body couldn't help but tremble, and her face instantly turned pale: "Old General Xiao, although I was the only person present when Miss Xiao had an accident, you can find out that I was invited by Miss Xiao to help check her gift, and the hairpin on my head was only given much time, not to mention that listening to what Chen Yuanzheng said, Zimian is a very rare poison, I haven't even heard of it, how can there be such a medicinal material, and the poison is smeared on the hairpin?" You know, this hairpin is worn on my head all the time, and if it hurts me, I will die, don't I want to live? ”

Shen Ninghua couldn't stop sneering in her heart, Yang Yingxue had indeed become smarter, and much smarter than before. She just listened to it and was just defending herself, but the words pointed the finger at herself!

Xiao Jingran narrowed his eyes: "I remember you just said that this hairpin was given to you by the county lord of Zhaohua, right?" ”

Yang Yingxue looked at Shen Ninghua, hesitated slightly, and a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes: "The hairpin was indeed given to me by my cousin, but my cousin is kind-hearted and will never do anything on the hairpin, I believe her." ”

Xiao Jingran sneered: "Is it not that you are kind-hearted, but it is not said on your lips, Chen Yuanzheng also asks you to help take a look at the hairpin on the ground." ”

Chen Yun frowned, he was sure in his heart that Shen Ninghua was not the one who poisoned it, but when he checked the hairpin, it was indeed smeared with poison, and according to the color on it, the time to apply it should be about three days.

"It's got poison on it, and it's been three days old."

Xiao Jingran looked at Shen Ninghua: "Lord Zhaohua, when did you give the hairpin to Yang Yingxue?" ”

Shen Ninghua's voice was crisp, and his words were clear and clear: "Three days ago." ”

"Heh, what else do you have to say?" Xiao Jingran's face sank, "I don't want to know why you put poison on the hairpin you gave to your cousin, I just want to get the antidote to save my daughter now." You will give me the antidote now, and the old man will intercede for you in front of the emperor. ”

After hearing this, Yang Yingxue looked at Shen Ninghua blankly: "Cousin, you really put poison on the hairpin, do you want my life?" ”

Shen Ninghua stood silent, listening to the constant discussions around him.

"I heard that she and her cousin were at odds, probably because she didn't want her cousin to live in her house."

"Where, I heard that I was jealous of my cousin's talent, and later because the second prince visited my cousin and hated it, so I ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's about the royal family......

Chu Junyi clenched his fists tightly, his gaze fell on Shen Ninghua fixedly, there was no trace of joy in his eyes that had always been smiling, and all of them were replaced by seriousness.

The relationship between Xiao Huanxi and Ning Hua is not good, he has known some things for a long time, so this time things are very strange.

Her gift was ready early tomorrow, why did she suddenly have to check it, and she had to pull Yang Yingxue to check it? Check it, the lock can't be opened, you have to use the hairpin, and it's Yang Yingxue's hairpin, if it weren't for the new design, it would be impossible to be such a coincidence, and the person behind the design is afraid that it is Xiao Huanxi himself, who is now unconscious.

Closed his eyes slightly, a trace of boredom flashed in his heart, last time he had made it very clear to Xiao Huanxi, don't provoke Shen Ninghua again, I thought she had rested, but I didn't expect her to design today's big play! If he cares, he will debunk her conspiracy and abandon his love for more than ten years, and if he doesn't care, then there will be no possibility with Shen Ninghua in the future!

Looking at Xiao Huanxi, who showed no signs of waking up, Xiao Jingran's patience in his heart ran out: "Lord Zhaohua, if you are stubborn and refuse to hand over the antidote, the old man will have to find the emperor to evaluate it." ”

Shen Ninghua raised her head suddenly, her eyes swept over Chu Junyi, whose expression was fluctuating on the side, and her deep eyes were covered with a layer of cold chill, as if she was completely isolated from this world: partners are only because of interests, no matter how good they are on weekdays, they can be abandoned at any time at critical moments.

"General Xiao said that he cares, this matter really needs to be commented on by the emperor. Let's go. ”

Xiao Jingran didn't expect her to happily agree, and she was angry for a while: "You ......"

Shen Ninghua curled the corners of her lips mockingly: "What, does Old General Xiao not dare, or is he afraid of delaying Ling Yan's illness?" Rest assured, Zimian is a poison that is slow to act, and the poisoned person will not be in danger of life within three days, so you can investigate slowly. ”

"Okay, since you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, then the old man will accompany you on a trip." Xiao Jingran's face was dark, and he flicked his sleeves and walked out after speaking.

The corners of Shen Ninghua's lips turned up, but there was no smile on her face, and she walked out.

The other onlookers naturally didn't dare to follow the palace to watch the excitement, and left one after another after saying goodbye to Xiao Fengjue.

After a while, Chu Junyi and Xiao Fengjue were left in the room.

Chu Junyi glanced at Xiao Huanxi, who was carried back to the room by her mother-in-law, and walked out expressionlessly.

Xiao Fengjue frowned slightly: "You want to go to the palace?" ”

Chu Junyi stopped: "Not bad." ”

"For Shen Ninghua's sake, you don't even plan to ask for your own sister."

"She's not a three-year-old and should know to take responsibility for what she does."

Xiao Fengjue's eyebrows were as sharp as a sword, and her eyes were sharp: "You should be very clear why she did this, if it wasn't for you, how could she frame Shen Ninghua?" ”

Chu Junyi turned around, his face was unprecedentedly serious: "Big brother, you protect the Xiao family from violation, and I also have something I want to protect." ”

"What if the things you are guarding are opposed to the Xiao family? What would you choose to do? ”

Chu Junyi was silent, but the momentum on his body was suddenly released, and a condensed atmosphere filled the entire room.

After a long while, Chu Junyi turned around and continued to walk out: "I am loyal to my heart. ”

Xiao Fengjue's expression was sharp, and he suddenly pulled out the saber on his waist and stabbed it towards Chu Junyi's heart.

The sound of breaking the air behind him came suddenly, and Chu Junyi took two steps forward and kicked on the wall violently to borrow strength, jumping through the air and dodging a sharp blow.

Xiao Fengjue missed the blow, and the battle intent in his eyes soared: "Do you know what you are doing?" Could it be that Shen Ninghua is so important that you don't even care about your identity? The Xiao family has supported you for nearly ten years, and Huanxi has grown up with you, she just used the wrong method for a while because she likes you, is it so unforgivable? Don't forget who you are, and don't forget your mission! ”

Chu Junyi slowly pulled out a soft sword from his waist, and the internal force was poured into it, and the soft sword instantly straightened into a sharp blade that could be broken, and attacked directly towards Xiao Fengjue.

The crisp beeping sound kept coming out, and the hanging curtains in the room were constantly injured by the sword qi, and it didn't take long for it to be a mess.

After about a quarter of an hour, a faint smell of blood came out, and the two stopped at the same time.

Xiao Fengjue stood straight, with one arm hanging down beside him, and blood was constantly dripping from his sleeve to the ground.

Chu Junyi threw the soft sword in his hand on the ground, leaving only a word and walked out without looking back.

"I remember my identity, and I haven't forgotten my mission, so does the Xiao family still remember?"
