"The poisonous insect has been transferred into my body," Xiao Junzhan said, "From today on, my fate is linked to Ranran's."

There was deathly silence in the hall, and everyone held their breath.

"Then find someone else to lure your poisonous insect out," the emperor said in a weak voice, but he would not tolerate any arguments. "You can give that person a higher position or imprison him for life, but you cannot share the same fate with a woman."

A ruler of a country cannot have any weaknesses, let alone one who shares the same fate with others. Everyone agrees with this.

But Xiao Junzhan shook his head and said, "The precious treasures needed to induce the Gu have been used up. It will be extremely difficult to gather them again. Father, rest assured, I will protect Ranran and will not let her get into any trouble."

In fact, the emperor already understood the difficulty of luring the Gu, and saying that he would lure it out again was just an angry remark.

But he was still furious, and his voice became colder: "If you want to protect them, you have to use thunderous means to kill them so that they are terrified and dare not have any greed. It's not that they have already reached out to the paddock, but you still can't find out who is behind it."

Xiao Junzhan smiled slightly: "It will be soon. I just hope to find out who it is. I will be ruthless. Father, please don't be soft-hearted."

"What do you mean? Who do you suspect?" The emperor straightened his back a little, and found that his son was still kneeling on the ground. He said unhappily, "Get up."

Xiao Junzhan stood up as he was told, then bent down and helped the little girl beside him up.

Wei Hanzhang had been kneeling for a long time before, and his knees, which had never suffered any pain, were already aching badly. Now that he had been kneeling for such a long time again, his legs felt a little weak when he stood up.

Xiao Junzhan frowned slightly and picked the man up horizontally: "Why are you kneeling with me?"

Ever since they first met, he had never been willing to ask her to kneel.

Such a delicate girl should be held in the arms and protected well. What does it look like to kneel at her feet?

The emperor covered his eyes with his hands, wondering once again how he could have raised such a romantic person.

Although he was not in good health, he had a queen, four concubines and several beauties in his harem.

After the other party finished coaxing the other person, he put down his hand and continued to ask: "Do you suspect that Changle murdered your Crown Princess?"

"It's still unknown." Xiao Junzhan didn't want to perfunctorily deal with his father, and also wanted to prepare him mentally, so he revealed some of his guesses: "Compared to Changle, I suspect the one in Guanju Palace more."

As everyone knows, Concubine Xian lived in Guanju Palace.

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into silence again, especially the palace maids and eunuchs, who all shrank into the corners involuntarily.

His face was full of fear.

What they heard and saw in this hall today was already the top secret of this dynasty. It was hard to say whether they could survive this night.

The emperor remained silent for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He did not suspect that his crown prince deliberately framed his half-brother in order to eliminate dissidents, but was thinking about the possibility that Concubine Xian had taken action.

The final conclusion is that the power in the hands of Concubine Xian, combined with the energy of her mother's family, allows her to reach into the enclosure.

Even Princess Changle couldn't do it, but Concubine Xian could.

Because she holds the phoenix seal in her hand, her position is equal to that of the deputy queen.

As if thinking of something, the emperor said slowly, "Before entering the palace, Concubine Xian seemed to have some friendship with the daughter of the Xie family. She even pleaded for her with me back then."

Xiao Junzhan raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that this Xie girl may really be alive."
