This is probably a man's intuition. Xu Chen'an left just now because he felt Situ Yao's distrust of him.
But he knew that if Situ Yao couldn't completely trust him, all this would be of no use.
Detoxification is a matter of urgency, which is why the people in the East Palace were able to fully recover.
Su Mengyan had just explained the matter of Xu Chen'an to Situ Yao. Having been with Situ Yao for such a long time, she could naturally see that Situ Yao believed in her deeply.
However, she also knew that believing in herself did not mean believing in the people she believed in.
Thinking of this, Su Mengyan looked at Xu Chen'an: "A person with integrity has nothing to fear. You have a clear conscience, so what are you afraid of?"
Xu Chen'an naturally had nothing to be afraid of, he just didn't like being suspected by others.
"If His Royal Highness doesn't believe me, you should find someone else to cure this poison!"
Looking at Xu Chen'an who seemed to be in a bad mood, Su Mengyan suddenly wanted to laugh. How could this man have this side of him?
She always thought that the Xu Chen'an she met was a law-abiding person, but she didn't expect that he would lose his temper because others had doubts.
"What's with that expression, Crown Princess?" Xu Chen'an asked in a very unhappy tone, looking at Su Mengyan who was trying not to laugh.
I'm already very unhappy, can't she see that?
Su Mengyan hurriedly adjusted her mood: "It's okay, just sit down first. Now is a turbulent time, it's normal for the prince to have doubts about you."
Sitting down on the chair, Xu Chen'an wanted to say, what the hell is normal? He didn't do anything against the law.
However, think about it, the prince is different from ordinary people like him. Besides, he has also seen all kinds of things in the royal family during this period of time.
He somewhat understood Situ Yao's thoughts, so he snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Seeing Xu Chen'an's expression, Su Mengyan knew from her understanding of him that he was no longer angry, but was just unable to save face.
Then he brought up the previous incident again.
Xu Chen'an lowered his arms from across his chest, one hand subconsciously stroking his clean chin as he said, "I've already visited the Cui family. You're right, there's indeed something wrong with the Cui family."
"What did you find out? Is there someone in the Cui family who knows about poisons?" Su Mengyan asked nervously. She knew that Cui Mixue was the one who poisoned the person.
However, she was more curious about who was helping Cui Mixue.
You know, she has read the whole book. In the book, Cui Mixue doesn't understand these medical and poison techniques, so how could she have done it herself?
So, from the beginning, Su Mengyan knew that there must be someone helping her.
This person probably appeared because his appearance caused the plot to go awry.
People who hide are always more terrifying.
Sure enough, Xu Chen'an nodded and said, "Yes, the Cui family does have someone who knows poisons. And I've met that person."
Situ Zhao has experienced many ups and downs in this period of time. First, his mother killed Concubine Hui, and then the murder of the former queen was exposed, so he was sent to the cold palace.
Because of various reasons, he was ordered to be imprisoned by the emperor. After escaping with great difficulty, he found a way to restore his identity with the help of the empress dowager.
These things made Situ Zhao feel that he couldn't believe everyone.
He just felt that in the next moment, he might be plotted against by someone unknown.
A palace maid came over and bowed to Situ Zhao: "Seventh Prince, there is a letter for you."
When she saw Situ Zhao looking at her, she handed the letter to Situ Zhao with both hands.
The letter was written by Cui Mixue, who wanted Situ Zhao to go to Cui's house, saying that she had something to discuss with Situ Zhao.
Thinking that this time, he was able to be safe and sound, and that Cui Mixue had indeed made a lot of contributions, Situ Zhao would not refuse Cui Mixue's invitation.
Speaking of Cui Mixue, she was in her room at this time, dressed up very elegantly, with a smile on her face, as if she was thinking of something happy.
"Xue'er, what do you want to talk to me about? Why do you have to make me run here?" Situ Zhao pushed the door open and came in, sounding a little unhappy.
He had sneaked in quietly, not wanting too many people to know he was here.
Who knew that when he pushed open the door, he saw Cui Mixue sitting in front of the mirror with a smile on her face, and her beautiful eyes looked at him because he pushed the door open.
For a moment, Situ Zhao only felt that Cui Mixue's eyes were moving, which was unexpectedly charming.
His throat slid up and down, he swallowed, turned around and closed the door.
Then a smile appeared on his face, and all his previous dissatisfaction disappeared.
He walked quickly towards Cui Mixue. How long had it been since he had been close to Cui Mixue?
Cui Mixue is no longer a pure girl. She was married to the prince for so many years in her previous life. Seeing Situ Zhao like this, what is there for her not to understand?
Everything seemed to be a natural progression, and after a fierce battle, the two men were sweating profusely.
Situ Zhao picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp without thinking about whether Cui Mixue wanted to drink water.
After putting on her clothes, Cui Mixue got down from the bed. At this moment, her eyes were as charming as silk, which made Situ Zhao get excited again.
The serious matter had not yet been discussed, and Cui Mixue naturally would not let him do anything wrong. Looking at the empty teapot, Cui Mixue frowned, but relaxed in an instant.
He cleared his throat before saying, "I asked you to come because I have something important to discuss with you."
Situ Zhao didn't want to hear any important matters. He felt that these so-called important matters were definitely not good things.
However, he could only look at Cui Mixue and wait for her to finish speaking.
As expected, Cui Mixue said, "This time, the Crown Prince's mission to suppress the bandits in Xi'an is a thankless task. Now, someone will definitely propose recruiting the bandits. I've thought about it and think that it would be best if you volunteered to do so."
But after hearing this, Situ Zhao did not look as happy as Cui Mixue had imagined.
"I'm not going." Situ Zhao refused directly.
Recruitment? Is it worth it for a Seventh Prince like him to go there? Moreover, in Situ Zhao's heart, he is no longer willing to trust anyone, of course, not even Cui Mixue who saved him.
He felt that this kind of thing might land him in jail again, and by then, he didn't know if anyone could save him.
Concubine Bai is now in the cold palace and can't help with his affairs. Although the empress dowager helped him last time, Situ Zhao also knows that it's okay if it happens once or twice, but if it happens more than once, even if the empress dowager protects him with her life, she can't help him.
It has to be said that Situ Zhao is now a hopeless person. The previous events must have frightened him, so he dare not do anything easily now.
What? He actually refused so bluntly? Cui Mixue looked at Situ Zhao in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe that the man in front of her was really Situ Zhao.
