He turned his wrist, and the sword tip moved an inch closer, almost touching Zhixia's body -

"stop!"

Chu Qingluan stretched out her hand to push Zhixia away, and walked forward fearlessly, her eyes as calm as water: "Second Master Xie, if I really want to assassinate Xie Yunqi, he will have no chance of surviving today. I came here today, first, to check on Prime Minister Xie's injuries, and second, to give your Xie family a chance to find out the truth."

"Ridiculous!" Xie Yunzheng laughed in anger: "Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"

His sword was approaching, and blood was about to be drawn.

"stop!"

But at this moment, a weak but irresistible voice sounded behind him.

Everyone turned around and saw Xie Yunqi being supported by two guards. His face was as pale as paper, but he was still standing inside the door, looking at Chu Qingluan with a serious look.

The two of them were separated by a porch, but in Xie Yunqi's eyes, it seemed as if the whole world was left with only that plain figure.

And...the horse behind her that originally belonged to her!

"Brother! Why did you come out?"

Xie Yunzheng quickly dropped the sword in his hand and rushed towards Xie Yunqi.

Xie Yunqi took a deep breath, his voice hoarse but firm: "Yun Zheng, put down the sword, this matter... has nothing to do with her..."

Xie Yunzheng couldn't believe it: "Brother! She sent someone to kill you, and you're still speaking for her?"

Xie Yunqi closed his eyes, as if he was trying to hold back the pain. When he spoke again, his tone was commanding: "People in the North... wouldn't use such despicable means. Someone is framing us!"

Chu Qingluan's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at Xie Yunqi with some surprise.

She didn't expect that Xie Yunqi was willing to believe that Pei Yuan was innocent.

Xie Yunzheng gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to disobey his brother. He put away his sword angrily, but his eyes were still staring at Chu Qingluan. "If I find out that you are involved in this matter, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Chu Qingluan curled her lips, her smile not reaching her eyes: "I'm at your service anytime."

The old lady rushed over at this time. Seeing Xie Yunqi struggling to come out, she was shocked and anxious: "Brother Qi! You are so badly injured, how can you get out of bed?"

Xie Yunqi forced a smile, "Grandma... Grandson... Nothing happened..."

Before he could finish his words, his body swayed and he almost fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Chu Qingluan took a brocade box from Zhixia and handed it to the maid beside her: "This is the Snow Lotus Pill from the Western Regions, which can cure all kinds of poisons. Give it to him."

Everyone was startled, and Xie Yunzheng was even more alert: "What tricks are you trying to play?"

Chu Qingluan said calmly: "If I wanted him to die, I would just turn around and leave now. Why would I have to do this?"

Finally, the old lady looked at her deeply, finally raised her hand to take the brocade box, and said in a deep voice; "Thank you, Princess, for the medicine."

Chu Qingluan nodded and was about to leave, but Xie Yunqi suddenly called her.

"Is Your Highness leaving just like that?"
