Chapter 768 Urgent Summoning! (Second Update)
Fan Chengzhuo's body twitched slightly.
He looked at Ye Chutang in disbelief, almost thinking he was hallucinating, "W-what?"
Didn't that person die in that fire a long time ago? !
Why did Ye Chutang suddenly bring it up?!
Seeing his reaction, Ye Chutang already had the answer in his mind.
——It seems that Uncle Di was imprisoned for many years with the help of Fan Chengzhuo.
"I wonder if Master Fan would be willing to chat?"
After a brief moment of daze, Fan Chengzhuo suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha……!"
retribution!
What a retribution!
He laughed heartily, feeling the pleasure of having avenged his great hatred.
Xiao Chenglin had planned everything, but he never imagined that he would leave such a big omission!
"You... actually ask me this?" He smiled sinisterly. "If you even know about him, what else can't you find out?"
He lowered his voice so low that only the two of them could hear it.
"You've already guessed it, haven't you?"
Ye Chutang blinked and smiled.
"yes."
She nodded briskly.
"But it's good to be able to ask you for clarification."
This is the answer she wants.
"After all..." Ye Chutang changed the subject, a hint of sympathy in his eyes, "The poison in your body has already penetrated deep into your lungs. There's no cure, and you don't have much time left. Wouldn't it be a pity to leave any regrets behind?"
The expression on Fan Chengzhuo's face suddenly froze!
Confused, puzzled, shocked, terrified...
His expression changed unpredictably at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even his voice was slightly distorted by fear.
“W-What did you say!?”
Ye Chutang's eyes curved and he said softly,
"Didn't I tell you that before?"
"You've been poisoned."
"I also gave you the prescription at the time, but unfortunately—"
Ye Chutang shook his head.
Unfortunately, Fan Chengzhuo didn't believe her and threw the prescription away.
It was his own choice to get to this point.
Fan Chengzhuo finally realized what had happened. It was like he had been hit by a hammer! He was completely stunned!
He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word. His face quickly turned red, his eyes bulged, and his body began to shake violently!
The next moment, his eyes went dark, he fainted, and fell straight backwards - bang!
Seeing this, the guards next to him immediately stepped forward vigilantly!
Ye Chutang took a step back.
"Lord Fan's health may not be able to hold out for much longer. I'm sorry to bother you all."
Fan Chengzhuo was destined to die, so they naturally didn't care and quickly dragged him away.
"As you wish?"
Shen Yanchuan came behind her without knowing when.
Ye Chutang turned around, eyebrows raised slightly, "Your Highness heard it clearly, why are you still asking me?"
With Chen Yanchuan's ability, I'm afraid he didn't miss a single word in her conversation with Fan Chengzhuo just now.
Chen Yanchuan nodded his chin slightly.
"If he had been less suspicious, he might not have died so quickly."
Ye Chutang shrugged.
"He sees me as a thorn in his side, so naturally he won't use my medicine."
It was originally expected.
Shen Yanchuan looked forward.
The rain has stopped, the dark clouds in the sky have dispersed, and a few rays of sunlight are slanting down.
"It's going to clear up soon."
He said.
…
The sedan chair moved forward.
Xiao Chenglin seemed calm, but in fact, his fists in his sleeves were clenched tightly.
The man beside him glanced back and whispered, "Your Highness, Lord Fan seems to have fainted."
Xiao Chenglin didn't look away.
"Don't worry about it."
It would be best if he died immediately!
In fact, until now, he still doesn't know why Fan Chengzhuo suddenly turned against him!
Everything happened so suddenly, as if... there was an invisible hand controlling everything.
He felt increasingly uneasy, as if he had overlooked something.
What on earth is this?
"But Your Highness, you..."
The subordinate still looked hesitant and worried.
His Majesty has already suspected him. If he really investigates, then—
Xiao Chenglin naturally knew this as well.
He doesn't have much time left...
His hands were placed on his legs, loosening and tightening, and a hint of cold murderous intent flashed in the depths of his eyes!
…
Chen Yanchuan went to Prince Lie's mansion, while Ye Chutang went to the side hall to check Emperor Mu Wu's pulse, wrote a new prescription, and then left.
At this time, the sky had cleared up and there were many more people on the streets, many of whom were candidates going to Beijing to take the imperial examinations. It was very lively.
When passing by restaurants and inns, you can see many people reading books, and some sitting in a group, talking loudly, with anticipation and excitement on their faces.
"It seems like the exam is the day after tomorrow." Ye Chutang said casually.
"Second Miss has a good memory!" The driver laughed. "It is indeed the day after tomorrow! It's a pity that our Third Young Master is not participating this time. Otherwise, with his talent, he would definitely take first place!"
Many people felt sorry for this, but Ye Jingyan himself didn't care.
Firstly, the circumstances in the past few years were special and his mind was indeed not on this. Secondly, he is still young and it will be the same when he takes the exam next time.
Ye Chutang knew that he was calm and had his own ideas, so he didn't ask too many questions.
However, looking at those excited and anxiously expectant students, Ye Chutang was also quite infected and smiled.
"That may not be the case. There are so many talented people in the world. Even with Ah Yan here, he may not dare to claim to be the best. However, if he wants to take the exam in the future, he will really need to prepare a lot of things..."
Having a candidate at home is like having a divine beast. Ye Chutang felt that she could feel the atmosphere in advance and do things more properly when the time comes.
…
In the evening, Prince Lie’s Palace.
After listening to Chen Yanchuan's account of what happened today, Xiao Chengqi's expression became slightly restrained.
"So, you deliberately let the Nan Hu group leave the capital?"
Chen Yanchuan picked up his teacup to moisten his throat and said slowly, "What else? Leaving them here will only make things worse. Besides, the Spring Examination is coming soon, so we can't let any chaos happen."
Xiao Chengqi nodded in agreement.
"You've always been thoughtful. This is indeed the best choice."
Someone from Nanhu wanted to cause trouble and should not be let go so easily, but they have many important things to do right now.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell which is more important.
"Anyway, with Tuoba Yu as a precedent, even if they want to do something in the future, they will have to think carefully. I think we can live in peace for a while. What's more important right now..."
Xiao Chengqi frowned.
"Although my father has ordered me to investigate, this matter is indeed a bit tricky."
He had a complicated expression.
"If he really did those things, then...what was he thinking?"
How could a prince do such a thing as collaborating with the enemy!
"Even if he has ambitions, he shouldn't be like this! What good will a border war bring him?!"
Shen Yanchuan tapped his finger lightly.
"If nothing else, at least the Second Prince fell into this trap."
Now it seems that many of Xiao Chengxuan's previous charges were probably because he took the blame for others.
Xiao Chengqi frowned.
"But even so, he is a prince, how can——"
Before he finished speaking, hurried footsteps were suddenly heard outside.
"Your Highness! Urgently summoned by the palace!"
