"It's not good for a woman to be too smart." Situ Xunxiao did not comment, but smiled.

"It's even worse if a woman is too stupid." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and counterattacked, "In fact, the experience of the Regent Prince may be similar to that of the prince. No matter how capable you are now, I will never believe that a person can break through difficulties. There are miracles in this world, I admit, but if they happen to an eight-year-old, I can only believe that it is a rumor. As the prince said, you have doubts because of someone. Then, the reason why that person can be so bold and presumptuous is that he must know that the prince has no chance of survival in the Valley of the Dead Souls, right?"

Situ Xunxiao's admiring eyes passed over Zongzheng Xiaoting's face, "Two people, is that enough?"

"It's impossible for one person, but when there are two people who have the determination to live, the possibility is greater. What's more, maybe a miracle will happen to Nangong Muchi." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled lightly. She naturally understood Nangong Muchi's identity. Some incredible things made sense.

Looking at Zongzheng Xiaoting's mysterious expression, Situ Xunxiao also recalled the past. Indeed, if they hadn't met Nangong Muchi, if they hadn't struggled hard and were saved by his mother when they were on the verge of death, the two of them would have absolutely no chance of survival. Even to this day, they still don't understand how such a weak woman could have saved them so effortlessly in that environment, but they all tacitly chose to remain silent.

"Do you know something?" Situ Xunxiao looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting with some doubt.

"What I know and guess can only be determined after meeting Nangong Muchi's mother." Zongzheng Xiaoting kept his mouth shut and was unwilling to say anything more.

At this moment, Emperor Gong Yunyang had already arrived at Prince Zhan's Mansion under the escort of many people. Several important officials in the court also came upon hearing the news.

"Your Highness!" Nighthawk's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in." At this moment, Situ Xunxiao returned to his usual icy face. The concealment and transformation of his emotions were truly jaw-dropping.

"Your Highness, several ministers are already waiting in the hall." Nighthawk said respectfully, "The Emperor just rested in the West Garden, and the imperial physician has gone there to bandage him."

Situ Xunxiao, who was sitting next to him, nodded, "Anything else?"

"The Queen Mother and Consort Jing are already on their way."

Nighthawk's words made Zong Zheng Xiaoting raise his eyebrows slightly. Shouldn't the emperor's injury be known to as few people as possible? The minister's coming here seemed a little strange, not to mention that the empress dowager was also accompanied by Concubine Jing, so he felt that there seemed to be a connection.

Seeing Zongzheng Xiaoting's suspicious look, Situ Xunxiao just chuckled, "I will go to the West Garden. As for the ministers, you can take them to the West Garden when the time is right."

"Yes!" Nighthawk echoed.

"Why do I feel like a good show is about to begin?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Situ Xunxiao with some curiosity.

"Princess, if you want to go, don't waste your bet." Situ Xunxiao raised his eyebrows. "It would be a bit self-contradictory for the princess to be so full of energy at this time."

"Don't worry. I think my acting skills are on par with those venomous snakes and ferocious beasts in the harem." Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised her chin, her face full of confidence and mixed with sarcasm.

As if they had a tacit understanding, Situ Xunxiao stretched out his hand towards Zongzheng Xiaoting.

Looking at the open palm, Zong Zheng Xiaoting naturally covered it with her hand, looking at Situ Xunxiao with some confusion. At this moment, she did not think that Situ Xunxiao had any strange feelings, she just felt that if she cooperated with him, there would be something interesting to watch.

When the two walked into the Western Garden, there were already several ministers there, nervously waiting for the imperial physician's diagnosis. Chen Xianzhi was also there, handing the medicine soup to the emperor.

Suspiciously, Gong Yunyang stared at the medicine soup that had been prepared long ago, and frowned slightly, "I just arrived, why has the imperial physician already prepared the soup?"

"In reply to the emperor, the prince went ahead and brought the princess back. I have already felt the princess's pulse. Although her injuries are not serious, perhaps the wounds were in contact with the emperor's wounds and the toxins in his blood were infiltrated when I bandaged them. Therefore, I have already boiled a medicinal soup for the princess. The emperor's injuries can be deduced long ago. The most urgent task is to detoxify him so that he can recuperate better later. Please rest assured, Your Majesty." Chen Xianzhi's words were naturally well-organized, but they did not sound so to Zong Zheng Xiaoting.

Situ Xunxiao looked at the gaze that Zongzheng Xiaoting was giving him, he just raised the corner of his mouth, and carefully helped Zongzheng Xiaoting in.

"My Lord!"

"Princess!"

When several ministers saw the visitor, they all stood up and waited respectfully, but Gong Yunyang's expression changed slightly.

"I have seen the emperor." Situ Xunxiao nodded slightly and placed Zong Zheng Xiaoting on a chair beside him. "How is the emperor's injury?"

Situ Xunxiao, pretending not to hear, asked in a cold voice.

Chen Xianzhi, who had already been in sync with Situ Xunxiao, naturally repeated what he had just said. At this moment, the maid had already brought the medicine soup to the emperor. For Gong Yunyang, it was natural to take it and drink it. However, just as he was drinking the medicine soup, Situ Xunxiao also spoke, "Doctor Chen, you said that the princess's poison was not too much, but after taking the medicine just now, the princess became more uncomfortable. I was afraid of delaying the emperor and the princess, so I brought the princess here. Can you take a look, what's going on?"

"Yes!" Chen Xianzhi took Zongzheng Xiaoting's pulse again in a serious manner, and then pretended to be shocked: "Oh my God, Princess, have you been exposed to anything since you entered the palace? Why was it that before you entered the palace, I diagnosed you as being normal, but after taking the detoxifying soup, it turned out to be like this!"

"What do you mean!" Situ Xunxiao shouted.

"In reply to your Highness, based on the princess's wounds and the information collected by the guards, I have deduced how to cure the princess' poison. However, if it is just this poison, it is easy. Fighting poison with poison is the best way, and it will not endanger the princess' life. However, if the princess has been poisoned in the past few days after entering the palace, and this incident happened, then fighting poison with poison will not work. It will also..." Chen the Seer swallowed his saliva, "It will trigger the chronic toxin in the princess' body to take effect!"

With a bang, Situ Xunxiao slammed the table in anger and stood up, "You mean, the princess has been in the palace for only a few days and someone poisoned her!"

Situ Xunxiao's anger was uncontrollable. When the Queen Mother and Concubine Jing arrived, they heard Situ Xunxiao's angry question. Then, they saw Imperial Physician Chen busy writing out a long prescription, racing against time to suppress the poison for Zong Zheng Xiaoting.

Only one person had murderous intent in his eyes.
