722. Chapter 722: Peeping (5th update)



The attendant looked hesitant, "This... I heard that Miss Ye Er also failed to recognize that it was a poison at the first time. As for the others, I have never heard of them."

Ye Chutang was only called in to see a doctor and save his life. Apart from that, today's incident had nothing to do with her. If it weren't for her excellent medical skills, she shouldn't have been involved.

only……

"I remember that she had some knowledge of the Nanhu poison before. This time, she was unable to recognize the poison that Fan Chengzhuo was infected with?"

The long-servant thought for a moment and said, "Although Miss Ye Er is knowledgeable, she is not good at this skill after all. This is normal."

Xiao Chenglin knew Ye Chutang's abilities. If he could even hide it from her, it only meant that the poison she used was not something that an ordinary person could do.

That……

Seeing Xiao Chenglin's frown, the attendant asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, how about... I go and ask a question?"

No matter where to ask or who to ask, no words are needed, they all know the answer.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Chenglin finally nodded slowly.

"Act in secret and never be discovered."

"I understand." The attendant hesitated for a moment, "Then in the palace..."

“Wait and see.”

At first, Xiao Chenglin also wanted to go into the palace immediately to find out the situation, but after calming down, he gave up the idea.

The more chaotic the situation is, the more we must not lose our composure.

If he rashly entered the palace at this time, wouldn't he immediately attract everyone's attention?

That would be really passive.

Therefore, no matter how worried and uneasy he was at this moment, he had to stay calm!

"No movement from Prince Lie's Palace?"

It's impossible that Xiao Chengqi didn't know this news. What's more important is how he reacted...

The attendant nodded, "I heard that King Lie went to the military camp west of the city today to discuss with King Yannan how to deal with the Nanhu captives. It was really blatant."

Xiao Chenglin twitched the corner of his mouth.

"If it were someone else, they would naturally avoid suspicion, but King Lie has fought on the battlefield for many years and made great military achievements. Even if he went to the military camp and drank with King Yannan, no one would say anything."

This is Xiao Chengqi’s confidence!

The long-servant was unwilling and said angrily, "If it weren't for the master's leg, how could he have the chance to be in the limelight!"

Everyone said that the Fourth Prince was crippled and that he was useless.

After Xiao Chengxuan's downfall, His Majesty was left with only these two princes, and Xiao Chenglin's life became a little better, but that was all.

In contrast, Xiao Chengqi naturally took over the matters that Xiao Chengxuan was previously in charge of, and seemed to have put himself in that position!

Whenever he thought of this, he felt unwilling.

To be honest——

"How can he be compared with His Highness!"

Xiao Chenglin gave him a warning look, "Didn't I tell you not to say such things in the future? This is the capital, and even in your own home, you have to be careful of ears."

The long-servant looked guilty and quickly nodded his head in agreement.

"Your Highness is right."

"Okay, go ahead." Xiao Chenglin seemed a little tired.

The attendant didn't dare to disturb him and turned away, his figure quickly disappearing from sight.

After a long time, Xiao Chenglin slowly lowered his head and looked at his legs.

There was no expression on his face, he just stretched out his hand and placed it on his leg.

Perhaps it was because the temperature had warmed up recently in spring, the wound on his leg began to itch frequently again, often causing him to stay awake at night and toss and turn.

I don't know when it will end...

Not knowing what he was thinking of, he raised his head and looked towards the cabinet on the side.

On it, the medicinal wine sent by Ye Chutang had not been opened yet.

Xiao Chenglin stared at the medicinal wine for a long time and slowly exhaled.

Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

Lian Zhou appeared in the study quietly.

"Master, their people have begun to move."

Chen Yanchuan raised his eyes, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"It seems that the excitement in the palace has spread?"

Lian Zhou chuckled, "Didn't you say before that if they want to know, let them know. Besides, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Wait until tomorrow, no! Tonight! Lord Fan's deep love for his child, and the good things he and Xie Anjun have done together, must spread throughout the capital!"

When he mentioned this, even though he had known it for a long time, he still couldn't help but sigh.

"Who would have thought that Master Fan, when he was so old, would have a son! What a great joy!"

Even if there is no one to succeed him, at least he will have company in his grave.

You are not alone on the road to the underworld, nor have you lived in vain!

Chen Yanchuan seemed to have expected this, and there was no trace of surprise on his handsome face.

He only raised his head slightly, glanced through the window towards the direction of the palace, and said meaningfully,

"At this moment, even if one has a calm mind, he would not be able to sit still."

You can pretend not to care for a while, but can you pretend not to care for a lifetime?

The situation is urgent and I am afraid I can't take care of anything else.

"Just keep watching," he said.

"yes!"

Lian Zhou responded, and disappeared out the door the next second, as if he had never been there.

Chen Yanchuan pondered for a moment.

"Someone come."

Yun Cheng walked in upon hearing the voice, "Master, do you have any instructions?"

Shen Yanchuan bent his fingers and tapped lightly on the table.

"How is the mansion lately?"

Yun Cheng understood what he meant and said, "Master, don't worry, everything is normal."

Their people are staring outside, and the people outside will naturally stare at them.

It all depends on who is more perceptive, or... better at acting.

"Where are Sumu and the others?" Shen Yanchuan asked casually.

Yun Cheng immediately said, "Thank you for your concern, there is nothing wrong over there."

This question seems to be asked to Su Mu, but it is actually asked to Uncle Di.

He has been responsible for taking care of her during this period.

But... why did the master suddenly think of asking this?

"Does the master have other tasks to assign to them?"

Shen Yanchuan shook his head.

"No need, everything remains the same as before."

"yes."

To hide someone in the capital city is neither difficult nor easy.

Shen Yanchuan had always been very cautious about Uncle Di, but he had never been able to find out his origins.

Especially since Uncle Di has been imprisoned for too long and so many years have passed, many traces have become blurred.

Unless he says it himself...

Shen Yanchuan had previously written to Beijiang, wanting to ask Shen Youyan if he knew such a person.

But Shen Youyan has not replied yet.

Therefore, everything is just Shen Yanchuan's own guess.

He glanced at the sky and saw that it was already past noon.

Today...some things should be settled.

Ye Chutang in the palace was naturally unaware of what was happening outside the palace.

She just stood there, listening to Xiao Jiayi repeating everything she had said to her before.

Of course, there were Xie Anjun's arguments and disputes in between.

From anger and resentment at the beginning, to shock and speechlessness later, to guilt and fear at the end...

The last bit of Xie Anjun's arrogance completely disappeared. He broke out in a cold sweat and looked terrified. He could no longer utter a word. Finally, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Boom——!

What a pity.

Ye Chutang thought idly.

Xie Pei used his own life to exchange for his son's life. It was a huge loss. (End of this chapter)
