Chu Junyi said in a deep voice: "Back to the emperor, the person who caused the poisoning of the slave sister Xiao Huanxi is this person. ”

Shen Ninghua's eyes trembled suddenly, endless ridicule was hidden under the fluttering eyelashes, and a thin coolness welled up in his heart, only to feel that it made people feel cold all over his body: Chu Junyi really wanted to clean up the mess for the Xiao family.

Xiao Jingran was also stunned, a little guy plotted to kill the eldest lady of the Xiao family?

Baili Qingcang paused for a long time, and slowly spoke: "He is a little girl, why did he murder Miss Xiao's family?" ”

Chu Junyi turned his head to look at the kneeling guy on the ground: "The emperor asked, you still haven't recruited from the truth?" ”

The little guy seemed to be frightened, and his whole body trembled like chaff: "Back to ...... Back to the emperor, the slave didn't know that it was poison, the slave accidentally broke the lock of the young lady when helping the young lady carry the birthday gift box, and the slave was frightened at that time, so he bought a new lock from the outside and came back, so the young lady couldn't open it when she went to open the lock. ”

Baili Qingcang said impatiently: "What does changing the lock have to do with poisoning?" ”

Chu Junyi stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the slave also has some contacts with the county lord of Zhaohua, and he understands the pure kindness of the county lord, so he doesn't believe that the county lord will do anything to poison others, so he asked the doctor to re-inspect the room, only to find that the lock that locked the birthday gift box was also painted with purple sleep." And this lock was bought by the little guy from the Treasure Pavilion in the south of Kyoto Castle. ”

"It's just a lock, why go to the Treasure Pavilion to buy it? Everything there is very expensive, and a small guy has so much silver? Baili Jinze asked on the side.

Chu Junyi replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, the slave sister Huanxi in order to prepare a birthday gift for her father-in-law, everything is used in the most particular, and this lock is naturally no exception, it is all custom-made from the Treasure Pavilion." This little guy couldn't afford to compensate for the lock, so he sent the originally broken lock to the Treasure Pavilion to ask for a refund, but he didn't expect the lock sold by the Treasure Pavilion to be poisoned. The records of the return and exchange are all in the account books of the Treasure Pavilion, and if His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince still doesn't believe it, he can send someone to investigate. ”

Baili Jinze frowned, did Chu Junyi want to help Shen Ninghua get away with it? Thinking about it, a trace of chagrin flashed in his heart, and he asked sharply: "Didn't you just say that Miss Xiao was scratched by a hairpin, and now it will become poisonous again?" Chu Junyi, are you deceiving your father? ”

Chu Junyi glanced at him coldly, and his tone was light: "If His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince hadn't interrupted me, I would have explained it clearly by now." ”

"......" Baili Jinze stiffly pulled out a smile and explained, I want to see how you explain!

"Back to the emperor, the slave also felt very strange, so he went to the Treasure Pavilion to check, but he didn't expect to find a batch of jewelry and utensils painted with purple sleep in the Treasure Pavilion, and the Yin of Jingwei Mansion was afraid that these things would spread out and hurt more people, so they were all seized and sent to the palace gate."

Baili Qingcang's face tensed suddenly: "You said that a large number of jewelry and utensils have been coated with purple sleep?" ”

"Exactly," Chu Junyi looked at Shen Ninghua, but found that she looked down at the ground, making her expression unclear, and her heart suddenly felt as if she had been hit hard by a hammer, "The hairpin that Lord Zhaohua gave to Miss Yang was also bought in the Treasure Pavilion, right?" ”

"Huh? Ning Hua, the hairpin was bought from the Treasure Pavilion? Baili Qingcang asked.

Shen Ninghua looked up, but he didn't look at Chu Junyi, who was focused: "Back to the emperor, it is exactly, my cousin has just come to Kyoto, and many things have to be purchased, so I ordered a batch of head jewelry from the Treasure Pavilion, and the hairpin is one of them." ”

Looking at Shen Ninghua's slightly pale face, Baili Qingcang felt a burst of pity in his heart: "You girl is as stubborn as your mother, wouldn't it be better to say these things earlier, why bother to say something that makes your father sad, don't let your father take back your title in the future, get up quickly, after kneeling on the ground for so long, your knees should not be able to stand it." ”

Shen Ninghua shook his head, a wry smile appeared on his lips: "If I can, I don't want to embarrass my father, but I was originally from the Shen family, not to mention the early death of my biological mother, and my father was also condemned and degraded, although these things are not something I can choose or decide, but many people think that I am not worthy of the title of county lord, and always want to use me to discredit the royal family, Ninghua will never give up, but I don't want to damage my father's reputation because of this." ”

Baili Qingcang got up and walked down, and personally helped Shen Ninghua up: "You are the county lord who I personally rewarded, and when I marry in the future, I will reward you as the princess of Zhaohua, who dares to slander you for no reason in the future, I will not be the first to spare him!" ”

Shen Ninghua was moved in her heart, Baili Qingcang really liked her in it, which was really rare for an emperor: "Thank you, father, Ninghua made you angry today." ”

Looking at Shen Ninghua's slightly red eyes and embarrassed face, Baili Qingcang couldn't help but show a smile: "You, okay, stand aside, my father will handle these things clearly." ”

Shen Ninghua stood aside, the light smile on his face gradually receded, and he looked at Xiao Jingran in the hall with an indifferent expression.

Jingwei Mansion Yin presented the jewelry and utensils coated with purple sleep toxin, and Chen Yun stepped forward to carefully inspect them and reported: "Back to the emperor, these jewelry and utensils are indeed coated with purple sleep, and the time should be three days ago." ”

Baili Qingcang's body was full of breath, and a cold edge flashed in his sharp eyes.

Baili Jinze stepped forward to ask for his life: "Father, as far as the sons know, the things in the Treasure Pavilion are very popular in Kyoto, especially by the ladies and ladies of the major families, if these jewels are spread, the consequences are unimaginable, this incident is very likely to be a big conspiracy, and the sons ask the emperor to order a thorough investigation of this matter." ”

Baili Qingcang didn't agree, but looked at Xiao Jingran on the side: "Xiao Love, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the old minister thought that what His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince said was very true, the hairpins bought by the lord of Zhaohua County were poisoned, and I don't know if other people who bought jewelry bought poisonous hairpins, and the old minister believes that this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. Moreover, the old minister was misled, and he almost wronged the lord of Zhaohua and asked the emperor to surrender his guilt. ”

Baili Qingcang gently buckled the table: "You just love your daughter, it's not that you can't understand it, but you still need to be vigilant, this time the matter of the purple sleeping poisonous hairpin will be handed over to you to be responsible for the investigation, and let the fifth prince Baili Jinze assist from the side." ”

"Yes, the old minister." Xiao Jingran was only thinking about finding an antidote to treat his daughter at this time, how could he be in the mood to care about other things, but he had no right to refuse when the emperor spoke, so he could only agree.

Baili Qingcang waved his hand: "This little guy will be handed over to Xiao Aiqing to deal with, and in addition, put away these hairpins carefully, don't move for the time being, and when all the things that have been circulated are recovered, they will be destroyed together, you can retreat, the prince will stay." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Exiting the Chengqian Palace, Xiao Jingran hurriedly stopped Chen Yun: "Chen Yuanzheng, please help treat the little girl." ”

Chen Yun frowned in embarrassment: "Lord Xiao, this poison is extremely rare, and I haven't studied the antidote, so I can only do my best." "After being hit by Zimian, Xiao Huanxi can be said to be three days at most, and if there is no antidote within three days, she will definitely die, thinking about it, she couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Jingran's face turned pale, and his tall figure couldn't help shaking: "Please also ask Chen Yuanzheng to do his best." ”

"Well, do your best."

Shen Ninghua heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but indifferently hook the corners of his lips, whether he can get through this hurdle depends on Xiao Huanxi's luck.

Out of the palace gate, as soon as he got into the carriage, Chu Junyi lifted the curtain and jumped in.

Shen Ninghua was not surprised at all, leaned on the pillow and hooked the corners of her lips: "What, I can't wait to give your sister an antidote?" ”

Chu Junyi's body was stunned, and his eyes lit up slightly: "Ning Hua, do you have an antidote to purple sleep?" ”

Shen Ninghua sneered, and her expression became more and more cold: "What if you have it, what if you don't?" "The man is really unreliable, a few days ago he kept saying that he wanted to marry him, and now he abandons her for the sake of other women.

Feeling her rejection of people thousands of miles away, Chu Junyi felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he had to speak: "Ning Hua, if you have an antidote, I want to buy it from you, and you can ask for as many silver taels as you want." ”

"What a big breath, how many taels of silver do I want for you?"

"Yes." Chu Junyi looked at Shen Ninghua and looked very seriously, no matter what the Xiao family is doing now, but he does have the grace of nurturing him, and he always keeps this kindness in his heart, and saving Xiao Huanxi this time can be regarded as a repayment.

Shen Ninghua looked at his serious attitude, and suddenly chuckled: "Okay, I asked you for five thousand taels of gold to save your life at the beginning, and it is the same price to save Xiao Huanxi's life today, when will you send the money over, and when will I give you the antidote!" ”

Chu Junyi nodded, and his mood was slightly relieved: "Ning Hua, thank you." ”

Shen Ninghua lowered his eyes, and his expression didn't care: "Young Master Chu doesn't need to be polite, it's just a fair deal." ”

Chu Junyi's eyes trembled slightly, leaned against the wall of the car on the side, and sighed, today's matter was completely caused by Xiao Huanxi.

She wanted to use the poisonous thing on the hairpin that Shen Ninghua gave to Yang Yingxue to destroy Shen Ninghua's reputation, but she didn't expect that she would be calculated by others and replace the original ordinary poison with Zimian.

Fortunately, he is the owner behind the Treasure Pavilion, so he can give up this cash cow to cover up the truth of the matter, otherwise the Xiao family and Shen Ninghua will face each other, and it is really impossible to say who will win and who will lose.

"Ning Hua, I'm sorry for you for this matter, but the Xiao family can't do anything at the moment."

Shen Ninghua felt more and more funny after hearing this, only to feel a fire in her heart, since she had already made a choice, why bother to say sorry to her again: "You are not sorry for me, you should be sorry for the Treasure Pavilion." Speaking of which, you are really generous, the Treasure Pavilion has collected a lot of news and gold and silver for you, and you will give it up if you say it? ”

"I have to give it up."

"It's also said that the Treasure Pavilion can still be opened if it is not available, but your sister Huanxi is gone, and you can't find it back. Young Master Chu, hurry up and go back to raise money, if I don't have five thousand taels of gold, I won't give the antidote in vain. Shen Ninghua said, more and more unwilling to see Chu Junyi's appearance, so he simply closed his eyes and leaned aside, but all kinds of emotions kept rolling in his heart.

Suddenly, a warm breath sprayed on the edge of his cheeks, and before Shen Ninghua could react, he felt a soft touch on his forehead:

"Ning Hua, don't be angry with me."
