Chapter 765 Let’s go now! (Second update)
Xiao Chenglin's eyebrows and eyes were cold.
"I really don't know what Lord Fan is talking about."
He looked up at Emperor Mu Wu and bowed.
"Father, Lord Fan appears to have lost his mind. I beg you to call in the imperial physician immediately to see him, lest he become mentally disturbed and speak more obscene words to defile Your Majesty—"
"I used foul language?"
Fan Chengzhuo pointed at himself, as if he had just heard a huge joke.
"Prince Jing! I have been loyal to you all these years, but it was you who pushed me into this desperate situation!"
Emperor Mu Wu closed his eyes and slowly exhaled.
Ye Chutang glanced at him sideways and saw that his brows were slightly wrinkled and his lips were a little pale.
It seems like my heart is not feeling well again...
Even if Ye Chutang had given him special medicine just now, it might not be able to cope with all possible situations.
Ye Chutang asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, would you like to rest for a moment?"
Emperor Mu Wu shook his head.
The matter is of great importance and involves two princes and princesses, so he must personally inquire about it.
"Chu Tang."
Emperor Mu Wu raised his chin.
"Since Prince Jing said Fan Chengzhuo is crazy, go and take a look."
Xiao Chenglin tightened his hands in his sleeves and subconsciously looked at Ye Chutang.
How could I forget that there is a her here!
Ye Chutang nodded respectfully, "Yes."
After saying that, she turned around and walked over to Fan Chengzhuo, ready to take his pulse. However, as soon as she extended her hand, she was sternly rejected by Fan Chengzhuo.
"Don't bother!"
Blood was oozing from the corner of Fan Chengzhuo's mouth. He raised his hand to wipe it, but it wouldn't come off.
A strange smile appeared on his face, like a bitter smile, but also like despair.
"At this point, I know I have no way out. This Qiyuan Hall... I have no intention of leaving!"
But he would never choose to die in vain!
"His Majesty!"
Fan Chengzhuo suddenly raised his voice, his voice was sharp and hoarse,
"Don't you find all this strange? Both the guilty minister and Princess Yuhe are poisoned. This is the capital! How many people can do such things so quietly?"
Emperor Mu Wu said nothing.
It felt like there was a string in Xiao Chenglin's head that was constantly being plucked.
He said in a deep voice,
"I swear! I have never done anything like this to Lord Fan! The poison in his body and the words he said have nothing to do with me! If I lie, I will be struck by lightning—"
"Swear?" Fan Chengzhuo sneered, his face full of sarcasm. "Prince Jing, what are you doing to swear an oath? If you believed in karma, you wouldn't have done those things!"
Xiao Chenglin paused.
Fan Chengzhuo looked at Xiao Lanxi angrily, "And you! You're so stupid! Do you really think he's trustworthy? With my example, why don't you think about whether there was something fishy going on behind Concubine Jing's death?"
Xiao Lanxi suddenly looked up!
This is the place she cannot touch the most. She can ignore everything else except——
However, she had already investigated what happened back then, and it was all Jiang Qingmei's doing. Now she had taken revenge, but Fan Chengzhuo suddenly said this...
Xiao Lanxi subconsciously looked at Fan Chengzhuo, and when she thought of the torment she had endured during this period, she couldn't help but feel doubtful.
Could it be that all this was really part of his plan?
Are she, Fan Chengzhuo, or more people just chess pieces that he throws away after using them?
Xiao Lanxi didn't know the answer.
Her mind became confused again, her body swayed, and she staggered back.
Shen Yanchuan's gaze wandered between her and Xiao Chenglin, as if thinking about something.
"Princess Yuhe, if you have any grievances, you can report them to His Majesty. I'm afraid only the princess can explain the true circumstances of what happened that day."
"I……"
The last line of defense in Xiao Lanxi's heart was crumbling.
She gritted her teeth and finally turned her gaze to Ye Chutang.
"I'll tell you if you give me this back!"
Everyone looked at Ye Chutang.
No one expected that Ye Chutang, who had the least to do with this tense situation, would actually become the most important link.
Ye Chutang paused, then nodded slightly.
"good."
She raised her hand, untied the bracelet on her wrist, walked to Xiao Lanxi, leaned over slightly, and handed it to her.
"If the princess wants it, just take it."
Xiao Lanxi stared at the turquoise bead, tears flowing silently again.
She slowly extended her hand.
However, as soon as she touched the bead, severe pain suddenly came from all over her body!
She screamed in pain and fell to the ground trembling, her body curled up like a shrimp and twitching continuously.
Bang——!
She pulled the bracelet off with excessive force, and it fell to the ground in a mess, making a slight crisp sound.
Xiao Lanxi fell to the ground and stretched out his hand to take back the bead, but he couldn't move at all, and was instantly covered in cold sweat.
Blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth and nose, the bright red was glaring.
Ye Chutang frowned.
"Oh no! The poison in her body has taken effect!"
Xiao Lanxi has been suffering from the torture of the life and death Gu. It was not that serious at the beginning, but she was locked up and could not meet Shui Xingqiu for a long time. She was unable to remove the poison from her body, and the situation became more and more serious.
In addition, too many things happened today, and she suffered great mental stimulation, which caused the poison to recur on the spot!
Emperor Mu Wu immediately asked, "She can't die yet! Do you have a way to cure this poison?"
Ye Chutang shook his head.
"This poison is extremely powerful, and even I am helpless. If it cannot be removed in time, I am afraid... the princess's life is in danger."
Emperor Mu Wu's heart sank.
He didn't care about Xiao Lanxi's life or death, but the matter hadn't been investigated yet, so how could he just die like that?!
"Then what else can we do?"
Countless thoughts flashed through Emperor Mu Wu's mind. Suddenly, his expression became determined.
"Poison...poison...Nanhu! Go! Send someone to invite Si Kouji and the others immediately!"
…
In a house somewhere in the capital.
The rain gradually subsided, but the sky was still gloomy and inexplicably depressing.
Shui Xingqiu stood in the corridor, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"Teacher, what are you looking at?"
Tuoba Yu was able to get up today. He walked over slowly and looked in the direction Shui Xingqiu was looking, but he saw nothing and asked in confusion.
Shui Xingqiu turned around and glanced at him.
"Nothing, I just feel that the rain in the capital came too suddenly... Your Highness, are you feeling better today?"
Tuoba Yu nodded.
"Much better now, all thanks to the teacher's care."
Shui Xingqiu listened absentmindedly.
Si Kouji was walking towards us from a distance, holding an umbrella.
Tuoba Yu asked curiously, "It was raining, why did Lord Sikou go out just now?"
Si Kouji shook the rain off his umbrella and explained, "It was raining so hard, I was worried the roads would be muddy and we'd have to wait a few days, so I went to check it out. Fortunately, it's OK, there's no impact. But it's strange, it seems something happened in the south of the city, and there was such a commotion."
He looked around and lowered his voice.
"I heard that it was Chen Yanchuan who personally led the Black Cavalry Guards out—"
"What!?"
Shui Xingqiu and Tuoba Yu were both shocked.
Tuoba Yu hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
Si Kouji frowned. "I just heard passersby talking about it. It seems that... a medicine shop in the south of the city was raided and several people were arrested. Oh, and there was also a woman who was taken into the palace alone! I don't know who it was—"
Shui Xingqiu's heart suddenly shook!
He immediately grabbed Si Kouji's shoulders and asked, "Do you know the identity of that woman?!"
Si Kouji didn't expect him to react so strongly and was stunned for a moment. "No, no, I don't know... The woman was taken to the carriage as soon as she appeared, and it was raining heavily, so no one saw what she looked like..."
As he said this, he looked at Tuoba Yu again.
"Your Highness, the capital seems to be in a bit of chaos. Why don't we leave early?"
Before Tuoba Yu could speak, Shui Xingqiu suddenly said firmly:
"No! Let's go now! Send someone to pack up immediately and leave in a quarter of an hour!"
