Chu Ci narrowed her eyes, pursed her lips slightly, and looked back at Xiao Qi, who had calmly put away the badges in the arms of the assassins.
He then removed the man's jaw and watched the assassin glare and fall back.
Several guards who were on the lookout for other assassins turned around and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Ci's face turned pale, her fingertips trembling slightly as she looked at the person in front of her, "She seems to be dead."
"What?"
The leading guard was the first to come to his senses. He walked a few steps to Chu Ci, squatted down, and carefully checked the man's breath.
Finding that the assassin was indeed dead, she frowned and examined the poison sac in the assassin's mouth and the method by which his jaw was removed.
From the outside, the venom sac looked like it had been cracked with a small hole, and it had split open, but the way the jaw was removed didn't allow her to see anything.
It is likely that this person has punctured the poison sac, but happened to have his jaw dislocated and was unable to swallow the poison. Later, more saliva was secreted from his mouth, and he swallowed the remaining poison, which is why he died.
This is the only reasonable explanation.
No other problems were found during the examination, and a sickly person like Chu Ci can't do anything for this person, right?
He immediately excluded Chu Ci from his mind.
Seeing Chu Ci's pale face, she seemed to be frightened.
The leading guard frowned, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. He signaled the guards next to him to step back and made a gesture to Feng You who was blocked.
"Lord Feng, please take His Highness back to rest quickly. The doctor will be here soon. His Highness looks frightened. Don't let him catch a cold and get sick again."
Feng You walked forward with the people behind him, and the expression on his face was obviously very unhappy. He helped Chu Ci to stand up, and under the gaze of the guards, they turned and left.
After returning to Chu Ci's courtyard and sitting down, Feng You signaled the servants behind him to bring some soothing tea, while looking at Chu Ci with a frown.
Chu Ci's expression had stabilized at this moment, and she took a sip of tea.
Looking up and seeing Feng You's expression, the corners of his lips curled slightly, "Just ask whatever you want to ask."
"It was His Highness who did it just now?"
There was no one else around. Feng You paused and spoke cautiously, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Chu Ci nodded and put the teacup in her hand aside.
"They're not just coming for me," Chu Ci whispered, watching the red figure hurriedly enter the room, "They're coming for the Xiao family."
This strategy kills two birds with one stone. If she hadn't noticed the various accounts in the backyard of the Xiao family, this move would have been very clever.
"Have you recovered all your things?"
Xiao Qi responded with a hint of hostility in his eyes, and handed the six or seven exquisite small tokens from his arms to Chu Ci.
Chu Ci took it, glanced at it, and handed it to Feng You, indicating Feng You to put these things away and destroy them.
"What are these?"
Feng You glanced down, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"They wanted to bring this incident down on the Xiong family, so they probably did this on purpose."
"These are like the tokens my mother had made."
Xiao Qi then spoke, saying that even the most hidden details, which could not be seen at all by people other than the insiders of the Xiao family, were copied exactly.
