Chapter 141 A Surprise for Her, a Gift in Return

On the way to the Ministry of Justice, Xiao Jinyan saw Xiao Yunxuan coming towards him. There was obvious joy between his brows. He smiled and greeted him.

"Where are you going, Prince?"

Xiao Jinyan's voice was cold and distant: "I am about to go to the Ministry of Justice. Where are you going, brother?"

"I was just about to go to Yu's study." Xiao Yunxuan was about to leave when he asked with a smile, "Prince, how is the investigation of the poisoning case going?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "It's rare to see that Big Brother cares so much about my investigation."

"I am concerned about the Crown Prince. If I don't get to the bottom of this, the Crown Prince might not be able to sleep well at night." Xiao Yunxuan deliberately emphasized the last sentence.

Xiao Jinyan said coldly: "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."

At this time, Wei Chi ran over quickly and whispered in Xiao Jinyan's ear: "Your Highness, the criminal Qiu Kui committed suicide by taking poison."

Xiao Jinyan's eyes widened, "What did you say?"

Wei Chi raised his voice and repeated: "The criminal Qiu Kui committed suicide by taking poison."

Wei Chi's voice was not loud, but not small either, and Xiao Yunxuan happened to hear it. A sneer of unawareness flashed in his eyes, "Go ahead and investigate. No matter how hard you try, it will only be a waste of time."

Xiao Jinyan's eyes changed, "Where did she get the poison? Take me to see it quickly."

After Xiao Jinyan finished speaking, he strode towards the Ministry of Justice, but was stopped by Xiao Yunxuan: "Prince, what happened that makes you so anxious?"

Xiao Jinyan calmly replied: "It's just a small matter. I have to deal with it now."

Xiao Yunxuan asked knowingly, "Really? Is there a conclusion to the case?"

"You'll know when I get there." Xiao Jinyan said coldly, then strode away.

Xiao Yunxuan looked at Xiao Jinyan's departing back and snorted coldly, "You'll never find out in your lifetime."

When Xiao Jinyan rushed to the dungeon, he saw a corpse lying on the ground, covered with a white cloth.

"Are you ready?"

Wei Chi lowered his brows and nodded: "Your Highness, it's all ready."

Xiao Jinyan ordered: "Spread the news."

"Yes." Wei Chi turned and left.

Xiao Yunxuan came back from Yu's study and overheard the conversation between the two young eunuchs on the way.

"A miracle doctor is a miracle doctor. He prescribed a prescription and the patient came back to life."

"That's right. I heard that Shen Liangdi was also poisoned. I don't know where the miracle doctor Your Highness invited was saved."

Xiao Yunxuan's face changed when he heard this. He was actually saved?

He suddenly remembered that Shen Liangdi drank poison and should have died on the spot, but she was still alive and well.

The same thing happened during the last autumn hunting expedition.

How could Xiao Jinyan have such a great doctor by his side?

Can the dead be brought back to life?

"By the way, I heard that His Highness took the prisoner to the East Palace..."

When Xiao Yunxuan heard the specific address, he strode away with a gloomy face.

Shen Chuwei slept until noon. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, glanced at the bed, and found that Xiao Jinyan was no longer by her side.

She sat up slowly and saw an exquisite purse and a small note on the pillow next to her. She picked it up curiously and found it was quite heavy.

She first glanced at the note, which read: New Year's gift money.

Shen Chuwei couldn't help laughing after reading it, "Xiao Jinyan actually remembered to give her a New Year's gift. I didn't realize that."

She looked at the purse again and examined it carefully. There was an exquisite pattern embroidered on it in the shape of a rabbit.

She untied the knot and dumped out the contents, finding six gold bars.

"Xiao Jinyan is so generous. The New Year's gift is actually six gold bars."

Chunxi heard laughter at the door, pushed the door open and walked in, lifted the bed guard, and saw her mistress's happy face.

"My lady, what are you so happy about?"

Shen Chuwei raised the six gold bars in his hand as if he were presenting a treasure, "Look, this is the New Year's gift from His Highness."

"Your Highness is so kind to me." Chunxi's eyes widened when she saw the six gold bars.

Shen Chuwei stared at the six gold bars for a while, which was enough for her to eat and drink for a long time. She suggested that the act of giving gold bars as gifts could be continued.

"My lady, when His Highness left today, he also gave Xiyun Pavilion a reward of ten taels of silver to each person, which is equivalent to three months' monthly salary." Chunxi said happily.

Shen Chuwei showed an admiring look when she heard this, "I just like Xiao Jinyan's domineering president style."

Chunxi asked curiously, "My lady, what is the style of a domineering CEO?"

Shen Chuwei explained in easy-to-understand words: "It means that he is handsome, rich, and generous."

Chunxi smiled and said, "I understand. I like it too."

Shen Chu smiled and said, who doesn’t like a domineering CEO?

Chunxi asked curiously, "My lady, what are you going to give to His Highness?"

"Should I send one too?" Shen Chuwei was puzzled. She thought she was the youngest and didn't need to send one.

Chunxi said seriously, "My dear, His Highness has so many women, how can you not give him some gifts to show your appreciation?"

It’s no wonder Chunxi thought this way. It was normal for men in ancient times to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention the prince, who had many women, which was even more normal.

When a man has so many women, it's like there are too many wolves and too little meat. Women have to fight for it. The one who doesn't fight for it will definitely not get any meat.

Unfortunately, she comes from the modern era!

"Let me think about it."

Shen Chuwei thought of a stone in the space. It looked very nice and would be a good necklace.

Thinking of this, she reached under the pillow and actually used her mind to take the stone out of the space.

She clenched the stone in her hand and held it out to Chunxi, "Give this to His Highness."

Chunxi looked at it carefully and said, "My lady, what is this made of? It looks very beautiful."

Shen Chu smiled and said, "Stones glow at night."

"..." Chunxi: "My lady, His Highness gave you six gold bars as a New Year's gift, a stone, how can you give it away?"

Shen Chuwei said, "The gift is small but the sentiment is great. Your Highness doesn't like fancy things."

"...But." Chunxi looked at the stone in the young lady's hand and felt that it looked shabby no matter how he looked at it.

When night falls

Three black figures quickly sneaked into the East Palace, into the side room on the north side.

With a "creak", the door was cut open by a knife, and three black figures rushed into the side room, their eyes fell on the bed.

There was no light in the room, and I could only vaguely see the bulging bedding on the bed with the moonlight outside the window. There was a person lying inside.

One of them grasped the knife tightly in his hand and swung it at the person on the bed without hesitation. No sound of blood or flesh was heard when the knife fell.

At this moment, dozens of people rushed in through the door and the lights in the room suddenly came on.

The three men in black then realized that they had been deceived, and began to rush out, waving their knives.

Every guard who came in was very skilled in martial arts.

After a few moves, he was at a disadvantage.

Xiao Jinyan walked in and looked at one of the figures. He had a tall posture and a black scarf on his face, revealing only a pair of dark eyes.

A cold light flashed across his eyes: "Brother, stop fighting for nothing. You can't escape tonight."
