On the other side, Chu Xuan, who had not been seen for a long time, had secretly left Lushan Paddock with Shen He.
The two men rode their horses all the way to the southwest.
An hour ago, Shen He was ordered to investigate the incident at Yan Mansion and found some results. He hurried back to report to Chu Xuan.
"I have found Xiao Fuzi, the servant who accompanied the master to the Yan residence that year. He was ordered by your majesty to take care of the master. I guess the master should still remember him?"
Chu Xuan nodded upon hearing this: "I remember him. After I returned to the palace from Yan's Mansion, he returned home within a few months."
Shen He nodded and continued, "Yes, there were dozens of eunuchs and palace maids who accompanied the master to the Yan Mansion. However, after my investigation this time, I found that he was the only one still alive. However, he was crazy and I couldn't get anything out of him."
"Crazy?" Chu Xuan was a little surprised: "So, no one in this world knows what happened to me in Yan Mansion, is that right?"
Shen He nodded silently. Now people are either dead or crazy, and indeed no one knows what happened back then.
Chu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards the Night King's tent in the distance, the expression on his face becoming increasingly unpredictable.
After pondering for a while, Chu Xuan made a decision and said decisively: "Where is Xiao Fuzi now? I want to go and see for myself. I must know the result of this matter! And... don't let the princess know about this for the time being."
"yes."
Naturally, Shen He did not dare to comment on his master's decision. He privately arranged for a secret guard to disguise himself as Chu Xuan and temporarily replace Chu Xuan to accompany the emperor here, so as to avoid other people's speculation.
On the other side, two people rode on good horses and galloped all the way to Lingxi Town in Huizhou.
Xiao Fuzi is there now.
Huizhou is about a day's journey from Lushan Paddock, and the two arrived at Lingxi Town in the evening of the second day.
Chu Xuan stood silently outside the wall of a courtyard. Behind him, Shen He brought a doctor invited from Huizhou, walked up to him and knocked on the gate.
"Is anyone home?"
After a while, footsteps were heard in the yard. An old woman opened the door and looked at the people outside in confusion: "Who are you looking for?"
Shen He bowed politely and explained his purpose: "Old man, we are old acquaintances of Xiao Fuzi. We passed by Lingxi Town today and wanted to come and see him."
The old woman turned around and looked at Xiao Fuzi, who was sitting on the chair and talking nonsense, with a lonely expression, and stepped aside to invite Chu Xuan and others to come in.
"Xiao Fuzi has been in a daze and crazy for several years. I'm afraid he has forgotten you."
Seeing that Chu Xuan remained silent, Shen He had no choice but to say, "It's okay. We came here this time to specially invite a famous doctor from Huizhou. Let him check on Xiao Fuzi later."
The old woman thanked him profusely, "My son has a miserable life. He couldn't survive when he was young. I sent him to the imperial city just to make a living. Who would have thought that he would become like this after a few years? It's all my fault!"
Chu Xuan was somewhat moved when he heard this, and finally said, "It's the time, it's fate, there's no need for you to suffer. If Xiao Fuzi hadn't gone to the Imperial City, he would have starved to death on the street long ago."
Then he looked at the doctor who was taking Xiao Fuzi's pulse and asked, "How is it? Can it be cured?"
The doctor stood up and replied: "This man's madness is not caused by illness, but seems to be caused by poison."
"Poisoned?" Chu Xuan's expression was startled, and then he asked, "Can this poison be cured?"
The doctor stroked his beard for a moment and nodded: "It can be cured. I will give him acupuncture right away. However, he has been poisoned for many years. The poison is like a chronic disease. It cannot be completely removed in a short time."
Shen He said anxiously: "Can you make him sober up? Our master has something important to ask him."
Upon hearing this, the doctor took out a silver needle from the box and slowly inserted it into the top of Xiao Fuzi's head. After a moment, Xiao Fuzi began to gasp and rolled his eyes. He opened his eyes again after a cup of tea.
“You…you are…”
Shen He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it worked!
"Xiao Fuzi, do you still recognize your master?"
When Xiao Fuzi first woke up, she was still confused and her memory was still stuck at the time before she was poisoned. Looking at the noble Chu Xuan in front of her, she was a little afraid to recognize him.
Chu Xuan sighed: "It's me, I am Chu Xuan."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuzi knelt down in front of Chu Xuan with an excited expression and said loudly: "Master! It's the young master!" Then she began to sob non-stop.
Chu Xuan was filled with emotion, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Today, I came here to confirm with you something that happened back then. Who was the person who saved me from the poisonous snake in the Yan family?"
Xiao Fuzi wiped away her tears and bowed her head, saying, "Back then in the Yan family, the one who saved the young master was the eldest lady of the Lu family who happened to be a guest at the Yan residence that day. This is something that I only found out later. At that time, the Yan family had already let Yan Xi impersonate and take the credit."
Xiao Fuzi cried sadly: "I wanted to report this to the young master, but I lost my whereabouts and was knocked unconscious and secretly sent out of the palace. When I woke up again, I was fed something I don't know, and then I became unconscious and didn't know anything."
Although he had guessed it in his mind, Chu Xuan was still furious at this moment. How could Yan Xiwan be so shameless!
Xiao Fuzi was loyal to his master, but ended up suffering an unexpected disaster. Chu Xuan couldn't bear it, so he kept the doctor and a lot of money, then set off with Shen He to Lushan Paddock.
There is another person there waiting for him to deal with!
After rushing all the way back, Chu Xuan secretly exchanged his identity with his substitute and stood in front of the tent of King Ye's Mansion again, feeling mixed emotions.
Chu Xuan considered himself a grateful person, and he had been very tolerant of Yan Xiwan over the years. Even when she was plotting to harm Lu Yanluo, Chu Xuan did not actually kill her. Now it seems that all this was a joke!
These good things should have belonged to Lu Yanluo. The more Chu Xuan thought about it, the angrier he became. He opened the tent and walked in angrily.
At this time, Yan Xiwan was looking at herself in the mirror in the tent. Lu Yanluo had caused her to have an allergy, and she had many red rashes on her face, which were itchy and painful. After two days, the red marks on her face had not faded, and she hated Lu Yanluo even more.
Seeing from the mirror that the curtain at the door was lifted, Yan Xiwan was immediately delighted, but she secretly restrained herself and put on a pitiful look.
"cousin……"
Yan Xiwan stood up and rushed to Chu Xuan, hugged him tightly, and cried non-stop.
"Cousin, why did you come to see Xi Wan just now? Do you know that Xi Wan is so scared? The princess wants to kill me! She gave me desserts with milk, which caused me to have an allergic reaction. Cousin, look, the rash hasn't gone away yet. Cousin, you must do something for Xi Wan! She really wants to kill me!"
Chu Xuan pushed Yan Xiwan away without saying a word, walked straight to the chair at the top and sat down, staring at Yan Xiwan with dark eyes.
