"Dragon Soul Grass?!"
The emperor was so shocked that he stood up and stared at the grass in the box in Su He's hand with wide eyes.
It does look very ordinary, but it gives people a very mysterious feeling, and even has the illusion of being surrounded by fairy air.
The others also stared at the Dragon Soul Grass without blinking, with waves of fear surging in their hearts.
I always thought this grass was just a legend, but I didn’t expect to see it here!
Seeing this, Su He added, "This grass is not easy to find. It took the prince several days to find it. He was already seriously injured, but unexpectedly, a group of assassins suddenly appeared and almost took his life. When we found the prince, he was in danger. Because we didn't know who sent the assassins, he didn't dare to return easily. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
After saying that, Su He knelt down.
Upon hearing this, the emperor hurriedly asked, "Sheng'er, are you injured? Is it serious?"
Helian Sheng said calmly, "No problem. Now that the Dragon Soul Grass has been obtained, I will return to the capital."
After saying this, the man walked out of the tent.
Everyone is used to Helian Sheng's attitude, so they don't think there is anything wrong with him doing this.
Helian Wushuang sighed slightly and had the Dragon Soul Grass put away before speaking to the Emperor, "Father, this matter doesn't look simple. My fifth and ninth brothers were assassinated, and Miss Duan is also missing. If she hadn't been rescued by my ninth brother, she would have been dead. It seems we need to investigate thoroughly."
The emperor nodded and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure to find the person behind this!"
"Yes, I obey your command!"
The three-day hunting season had long passed, and after something like this happened, no one was in the mood to hunt anymore, so they returned to the capital.
With the treatment of the imperial physician, Duan Qingxi naturally got better, but his complexion was still very ugly, and he had to stay in bed for ten days to half a month.
Xuan Yi and Xuan Er didn't know the truth and thought that Duan Qingxi had really been harmed by someone. They regretted not insisting on going with him.
Duan Hong and Duan Sijin both felt guilty for not taking good care of Duan Qingxi, causing her to get injured, so Duan Sijin insisted on finding the person behind the scenes.
I don’t know how he investigated, but he actually found out that the matter was related to Duan Shishi.
Duan Shishi, who was originally in solitary confinement, was kneeling in the living room with a confused look on her face, completely unaware of what was going on.
Duan Sijin asked: "Shishi, do you know your mistake?!"
Duan Shishi frowned and asked, "Brother, I've been in solitary confinement all this time. Every day I'm either embroidering or painting, or copying scriptures. What crime have I committed?"
Duan Hong looked at her with disappointment in his eyes. He slammed the table hard, making a loud "bang" sound, and said angrily, "You are still pretending! Weren't you the one who had Xi'er harmed like this?!"
Duan Shishi was stunned for a moment and defended herself, "Dad, I didn't do that. Why would I harm her for no reason?! And I've always been at home, how could I have harmed her?!"
Seeing that she refused to admit it, Duan Sijin had an elderly nanny brought up.
When she saw the nanny, Duan Shishi's expression suddenly changed.
Duan Hong and Duan Sijin saw all of this.
After being pressed forward, the nanny knelt down and begged for mercy, crying, "General, please spare me! Young Master, please spare me! I...I was also forced to do this by the Second Young Lady!"
Duan Shishi said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't force you to do anything!"
Duan Sijin looked at the nanny and said coldly, "Tell me everything you know, or else... I will make you wish you were dead!"
The nanny was so frightened that she shivered violently and confessed all the things Duan Shishi had asked her to do before.
This included how she bullied Duan Qingxi according to Duan Shishi's instructions before Duan Qingxi traveled through time, how she withheld her things, and how she later hired people to molest her several times.
