Yan Xiwan glared at her without leaving any trace, and continued to explain: "Cousin, Wang Liu is ambitious and tells lies all the time. He is also vicious. Why don't we execute him on the spot! It can also be regarded as venting the anger for Sister Princess!"

Wang Liu looked at her back in disbelief, feeling extremely chilled.

"I have evil ambitions and tell lies all the time? I have a vicious heart? Miss Yan, it was you who asked me to plot against Lu Yanluo and frame her for poisoning! Now it is you who asked me to kill Lu Yanluo in the chaos after learning that she was kidnapped. You are the vicious woman with a heart of a snake and a scorpion!"

Yan Xiwan's face turned pale, and she immediately knelt in front of him, defending herself, "I...cousin, I didn't do that! He's just talking nonsense! Xiwan treats my sister like a relative, so how could he do that to her? This man has framed my sister before, and this time he is just repeating the same old trick. Please understand, cousin!"

"If I, Wang Liu, tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning!"

Wang Liu was so angry that he yelled, his face was tinged with gloom, and he stared at Yan Xiwan fiercely with indignation, wishing he could eat her alive.

Yan Xiwan's eyes turned red and were filled with tears, looking very pitiful and innocent.

Beside her, Lu Yanluo suddenly said, "Wang Liu, you and Ye Chen are in the same group."

She used affirmative sentences.

She had raised this question earlier, but the two did not answer.

But the conversation between Ye Chen and Wang Liu later told her that their relationship was very unusual——

Wang Liu knew Ye Chen's identity and also knew his weaknesses.

"So who sent you to Yecheng? And who asked you and Ye Chen to turn Yecheng upside down?"

Wang Liu immediately shut up.

"What? You don't want to tell me?"

Lu Yanluo squatted down, her eyes level with his, "You should understand the principle of leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist."

Wang Liu raised his eyes to look at her.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and he finally spoke: "I... was sent by the Prime Minister of the capital to assist Ye Chen. As long as you let me go, I will tell you the location of the Forget Star Grass."

Lu Yanluo immediately asked: "Where is it?"

"There is a house outside the city. There is a jacaranda flower placed on the third earth pit on the hill behind the house."

Lu Yanluo and Chu Xuan looked at each other, and the latter waved his hand and said, "Take the two back and lock them up, and deal with them later."

"yes!"

The guards behind him immediately stepped forward and two of them pinned down Wang Liu.

The remaining two stood beside Yan Xiwan: "Miss cousin, please!"

"Cousin..." Yan Xiwan looked at Chu Xuan with tears in her eyes.

However, Chu Xuan's expression did not relax at all. He just protected Lu Yanluo and walked past her without looking at her.

Her eyes darkened, and without saying anything, she stood up and left.

Not long after the group returned, Shen He rushed back and knelt on one knee in front of Chu Xuan to apologize.

"They are very skilled in martial arts, and I lost them."

Chu Xuan was not surprised.

On the way back, Lu Yanluo explained to him the identity of the people passing by.

If the prince of the previous dynasty did not have two people with great martial arts skills by his side, how could he have hidden until today?

"It's okay. You can go to the Li family's house outside the city. There is a jacaranda flower on the third earth pit on the back hill of the house. All the Forget-Star Grass is here."

"yes!"

Shen He got up and went out, and soon brought back the Forget-Star Grass.

As soon as Lu Yanluo got the Forget-Star Grass, she worked with the city doctor to prepare an experimental prescription, and finally, at noon on the third day, she prepared the antidote.

Chu Xuan immediately ordered people to send the antidote to various places, and the plague in the city gradually improved.

The news soon spread back to the capital. In Prince Ning's mansion, Chu Zhen was so angry that he overturned the table!

He pointed at Lu Yuluo and yelled, "You promised me that this matter would be foolproof, and I told you everything about Ye Chen! But what is the result now? Trash! All trash!"

Lu Yuluo felt a little aggrieved after being scolded: "But Wang Liu wrote to me a few days ago and indeed said that everything was going well. How could it suddenly be..."

Chu Zhen snorted coldly: "When was the last time Wang Liu wrote to me?"

"Seven days ago." Lu Yuruo answered hesitantly and was very unconfident.

"Seven days?! The plague in Yecheng has been resolved, and Chu Xuan will be returning to the capital soon. I'm sure that Wang Liu has fallen into Chu Xuan's hands!" Chu Zhen became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. "It's already been seven days. Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Lu Yuluo had never suffered such grievances since she was a child. She was scolded so much that her eyes were filled with tears: "I thought he would write to me after the matter was over. If I wrote a letter rashly and it was intercepted by the Night King's people, wouldn't it expose his identity?"

She wanted to wait, thinking that if there was no news by tomorrow, she would write again.

But she never expected that the issue in Yecheng could be resolved so quickly.

Lu Yuluo bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty, I have other ways to solve this problem!"

Chu Zhen suppressed his anger and roared in a low voice: "The memorial about Chu Xuan's return to the capital has been submitted to the emperor, and all the ministers in the capital are aware of it. If we take action now, won't it be telling everyone that the king will not tolerate Chu Xuan?"

She pursed her lips, lowered her head and said nothing more.

Chu Zhen kicked over the stool and said irritably, "Idiot! Get out!"

Lu Yuluo's eyes turned red and she turned around and ran out.

Chu Zhen stared at her back, twirling the ring on his thumb, a look of deep thought flashing across his eyes.

That Wang Liu was from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and all communications were handled by Lu Yuluo. There was no evidence that he had personally taken any action.

Therefore, such fatal matters as Yecheng colluding with rebels and poisoning the people can be borne solely by the Prime Minister's Office without involving unnecessary people.

For example——him.

"Someone come!"

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and immediately a secret guard emerged from the darkness: "Your Majesty."

Chu Zhen's voice was cold, his eyes full of malice: "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and burn all the letters exchanged with this prince. Also deal with the servant who delivered the letters. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" The secret guard took the order and disappeared.

…

Yecheng.

The antidote prepared by Lu Yanluo made Bai Ming recover quickly. After two days of examination and making sure that the problem was completely resolved, Chu Xuan and others packed up and returned to Beijing.

When leaving, Yan Xiwan looked at Chu Xuan with affection, but the latter completely ignored her.

Since bringing her back, Chu Xuan has placed her under house arrest. Except for the old woman who delivers meals and the maid who serves her, no third person is allowed to see her. Even the maid is not allowed to leave the yard. It is obvious that he is on guard against her.

Yan Xiwan stared at the carriage in front of her and gritted her teeth.

Lu Yanluo, this matter is not over yet!

In the car in front, Lu Yanluo had no idea what was happening outside. She just quietly read the medical books, studying the medical wisdom of the ancients.

Chu Xuan smiled and said, "A Luo, aren't you worried at all that the plague is related to the Prime Minister's Mansion? I have verified Wang Liu's identity, and he is indeed a secret guard hired by the Prime Minister's Mansion. He is colluding with the previous dynasty in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If he returns to the capital this time, I am afraid that someone will make a fuss about it."

"What does it have to do with me?"

Lu Yanluo said calmly, "I am now the Princess of the Night Palace. Of course, I belong to the Night Palace, yours, and the royal family. Even if the Prime Minister's Mansion is implicated, it will not be blamed on me. What is there to worry about?"

Chu Xuan snorted and laughed, "You are really carefree."

She stretched out her index finger and shook it, "It's not that I'm careless, I just don't care."

Those so-called relatives only wanted to squeeze out the last bit of value from her and the original owner, and did not regard her as a relative at all.

Lu Yanluo never treats this kind of people well.

She is not included in the extermination of the nine clans, and the life and death of the Prime Minister’s Mansion has nothing to do with her!
