Your current level of poisoning can be relieved by taking three antidotes.
If you don't believe me, I can give you one first. After you eat it, you will understand that what I say is true."
Song Hanchuan agreed immediately.
Being able to give Xiaoyi happiness like a normal man is his greatest wish in this life.
After Song Hanchuan left, Nanny Gui came in with a food box, took out the food inside with familiarity, and placed it on the table one by one.
"Your Majesty, would you like some refreshing soup?"
Jiang Qingyi's deep eyes were expressionless, but gradually softened when she looked at the person who came.
"Let the servants do these little things. Why do you need to do them yourself?"
Aunt Gui smiled at him kindly, her hands busy without stopping.
"It would be good if I could stretch my old bones a little. If I don't work in the yard all the time, I'm afraid I'll become even more useless."
Jiang Xuanyan paused and had to stop talking.
Nanny Gui is Jiang Xuanyan's mother's biological sister. When she learned of her sister's death, she did not hesitate to cancel her early arranged marriage and spent all her money to enter the palace and become a palace maid.
The purpose is to preserve his sister's only bloodline and then try to avenge her.
Over the years, she has treated Jiang Xuanyan like her own child.
“By the way, is there any news about Miss Shen’s whereabouts?”
Jiang Xuanyan paused, and suddenly a lot of sourness surged in his chest, as if someone had torn a big gash in his chest, and the pain made his breathing stagnant.
"not yet."
For three years, he accepted the news of Shen Ningzhu's death on the surface, but he had been looking for her privately.
The corpse that was dug out at that time was very similar in shape to Chen Ningzhu and Liu Zhiyi, but Jiang Xuanyan was sure that it was not Chen Ningzhu.
It’s a pity that he has been searching for so long and hard, but still has no news at all.
The two men seemed to have disappeared without leaving any trace.
Aunt Gui frowned deeply.
"Your Majesty, perhaps..."
"Madam, there's no need to persuade me anymore. I know what's going on. If you have nothing else to do, please leave."
Jiang Xuanyan's face suddenly turned cold, his eyes as cold as if they contained countless ice flowers. Seeing him like this, Aunt Gui felt very distressed, but she was helpless.
I can only pray silently in my heart that the two lovers can finally get married.
The next morning, Jiang Xuanyan went to court as usual, but found that Song Hanchuan's seat was empty.
Then he asked Sanfu who was beside him,
"What's going on? Where is the Prime Minister?"
Sanfu was also confused as to what was going on. "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister did not ask for leave, and I was not aware of this either."
Jiang Xuanyan narrowed his eyes.
"Someone, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and see what's going on."
After a while, the guards ran into the hall in a panic, "Your Majesty, this is bad, the Prime Minister is missing."
Jiang Xuanyan's face darkened. "Gone?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. The entire Prime Minister's residence is deserted. Not only the Prime Minister, but even the servants are missing."
As soon as these words were spoken, the court was in an uproar.
"What happened? Was the Prime Minister murdered?"
"How is it possible? Who is so bold as to murder the Prime Minister? Is it because he thinks the head on his neck is too strong?"
"No, the Prime Minister is not a weak civil official. Don't forget, he is also the Grand Commander and the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Who could murder him without making any noise?"
unless……
Thinking of this possibility, everyone felt a chill all over their body and looked at the young emperor above in horror.
Some ministers exchanged glances and speculations arose in their minds.
Who else could make all the people in a mansion disappear silently at the feet of the emperor in the imperial city, except the emperor?
Could it be that the Emperor is dissatisfied with the Prime Minister's power and wants to take everything back, that's why...
Thinking of this, everyone shuddered.
Sitting high on the throne, Jiang Xuanyan coldly watched the expressions on the faces of the ministers below. He knew without a doubt what was going on in their minds.
Over the past three years, he has killed many treacherous officials with thundering methods. In the eyes of outsiders, his reputation as a tyrant has long been established, so it is normal for them to speculate about him maliciously.
The abominable thing is that Song Hanchuan, this cunning fox, actually tricked him before leaving.
Not only did she pretend to agree to stay and steal his antidote, but she also left in this way.
It was obvious that he had calculated that as soon as he left, he, the emperor, would be subject to malicious speculation by his court officials.
Was this revenge for holding onto his resignation? No, something didn't seem right.
Jiang Xuanyan half-closed his narrow eyes, carefully pondering the secret.
At this moment, the guard came into the store and reported,
"Your Majesty, General Pei has returned to the capital with a great victory. He is already outside the city."
Jiang Xuanyan took a deep breath, temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said,
"Pass the order down, open the city gates, and welcome the army into the capital."
Then he stood up and said condescendingly, "My dear ministers, please follow me out of the palace to welcome General Pei."
"Your Highness obeys your command."
City Gate
Pei Yunchu rode a tall horse and walked in front, with an orderly army behind him.
After not seeing him for three years, the man has become taller and stronger, his handsome face has lost its previous childishness, and his brows have become more cold and sharp like an adult man.
The young general who was born in a wealthy family has become the General of Cavalry, commanding an army of 300,000.
On both sides of the street, people cheered and lined the streets to greet him, shouting that Pei Yunchu was the God of War.
However, the man on the horse kept looking straight ahead with an expressionless face, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him.
Instead of going home, he went back to the palace with the court officials to report on his work and stayed in the palace after the meeting.
When his family came to invite him, he just said lightly that he had a celebratory banquet in the afternoon and would not run back and forth.
Jiang Xuanyan looked at Pei Yunchu who was staying in the imperial study, drinking one glass after another, and said coldly.
"There will be a celebration banquet later. It's not too late for you to drink later."
The other party just raised his head, his eyes bloodshot and said, "Ayan, I regret it."
"If I had known she would die, I would have treated her well and never said anything like asking her to be a concubine, which would have hurt her feelings..."
Jiang Xuanyan felt a pang of pain in his chest.
Before, Chen Ningzhu said that she would never be a concubine, even if she died.
He didn't take it seriously at the time and didn't think she would never want him again because of it.
As soon as she got the chance, she escaped without a trace, even pretending to be harmed by King Chen. I guess she was taking revenge on King Chen for hurting her before... Little Kitten, you really don't suffer any loss.
But why didn't she come to take revenge on him?
Pei Yunchu's cheeks were a little flushed, and he seemed to be drunk and confused, and he spoke without restraint.
"And Song Hanchuan. When Xiaoyi was alive, he took advantage of her misfortune to steal my girlfriend. After Xiaoyi passed away, he acted as if nothing had happened. He's truly a hypocrite."
Jiang Xuanyan's hand that was flipping through the memorial suddenly stopped, he slowly raised his head, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.
"Tell me, what happened to Song Hanchuan?"
