Chapter 6 Clues

Before Shen Xinyue could recover, Huo Weilou had already grabbed Shen Xinyue's waist and jumped onto the wall, then landed firmly on the ground.

Shen Xinyue only felt that his hands were holding her waist, and even through her clothes, there was an indescribable hotness and scorching heat.

She looked a little awkward and hurriedly withdrew from Huo Weilou's arms. When she raised her eyes, she found that his shoulder was bleeding.

"My lord, your wound has burst." Shen Xinyue pointed at Huo Weilou's shoulder and whispered.

Huo Weilou's face was a little pale, and he said expressionlessly: "I know this, but it's just to bring you out? You have to compensate me!"

Shen Xinyue was speechless. She pointed to the hole and said, "You can come out alone, then open the door and let me get out."

Huo Weilou: "......"

He had a cold face and said no more. Instead, he directly climbed onto the horse he had ridden yesterday, and then extended his hand to Shen Xinyue with a gloomy expression.

Shen Xinyue looked at Huo Weilou, then at the horse, and said with some doubt, "Shall I ride with you?"

Huo Weilou rolled his eyes at her and said in a deep voice: "Is it possible that you want to walk back? Do you know the road? Or do you want to encounter another tiger in this wilderness?"

When Shen Xinyue heard about the tiger, she immediately shrank in fear and suddenly put her hand on Huo Weilou's.

Huo Weilou pulled Shen Xinyue onto the horse suddenly, then started the reins and started to trot.

Shen Xinyue couldn't ride a horse, so she didn't dare to move at all.

Huo Weilou put his hands around her waist and supported her. She felt that her waist was as hot as fire. She was very uncomfortable, but she did not dare to say a word.

I don't know how long it took before the two of them returned to the Regent's Palace.

After Huo Weilou dismounted, he reached out and pulled Shen Xinyue down.

Shen Xinyue noticed with sharp eyes that blood was also pouring out of his other arm.

"Your Majesty, the wound here is also broken." Shen Xinyue reminded kindly.

Huo Weilou said in a deep voice without expression: "I know!"

How could she not know that the wound was bursting? Both arms were so painful that they were almost paralyzed!

"Then let me take care of it for you first, otherwise it will be troublesome if it becomes inflamed." Shen Xinyue followed Huo Weilou back to the main courtyard step by step.

When Shen Xinyue entered the room, she saw the medicine box placed in the corner and hurriedly took it over. Sure enough, there were good straps and gold sore medicine inside.

"Your Highness, come here, take off your clothes and I'll bandage them again. This golden sore medicine is very effective." Shen Xinyue urged, already stepping forward to take off Huo Weilou's clothes.

Just as he untied Huo Weilou's robe, the door was kicked open again.

The old princess looked at Shen Xinyue who was taking off Huo Weilou's clothes with a gloomy face, her eyes seemed to be on fire, and her voice was hoarse: "Huo Weilou, is this the urgent thing you had to do yesterday? You are really fascinated by this vixen. It’s hard to tell what’s good! Do you still want this bitch to be the regent princess?”

"Are you short of women? What kind of woman do you want? You have to fall in love with a vicious merchant girl! Have your brains been eaten by a vixen!" The old princess scolded Huo Weilou.

Huo Weilou's relationship with the old princess had always been stiff, and he was used to being scolded by her about his duties. He just pursed his thin lips tightly and said nothing.

On the contrary, it was Shen Xinyue, whose clear eyes fell on the old princess's face, and she couldn't bear to reply: "Old princess! You didn't see that he was injured! You didn't see that he was dying of poison! Those eyes of yours He saw me taking off his clothes! I was treating his wounds, but how come you seduced each other one by one, bitches one by one! The matter of marriage exchange has not been finalized yet. Although I, Shen Xinyue, am from a merchant background, There’s nothing I can’t say sorry about your palace! Are you being too extreme?”

"How dare you contradict me?" The old princess did not expect that Shen Xinyue would dare to challenge her, and her face instantly turned purple with anger.

"He is your son and he doesn't dare to contradict you. I'm not your daughter or your daughter-in-law. Why don't I dare to contradict you? He was so seriously injured, but you didn't show any concern or feel sorry for him. You just scolded him. He Is he your biological child?" Shen Xinyue said with a cold expression.

Huo Weilou never expected that Shen Xinyue would stand up to defend him, and an unspeakable feeling arose in his heart.

Shen Xinyue's words were like a bolt from the blue, which made the old princess feel dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

She looked at Shen Xinyue as if she was crumbling, and after forcing herself to calm down, she turned her anger to Huo Weilou and cursed: "Huo Weilou! You actually let this little bitch contradict and humiliate me like this! Do you still have me as your mother in your heart?"

Huo Weilou couldn't help but frown, raised his eyes, and looked at the angry old princess.

"Mother, I brought her back not because of lust, but because I wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly. If she dies, I will die without any evidence."

The old princess sneered and said: "You are the one who makes the decision in the mansion now. It's all your business to investigate. As a mother, I have no use for it long ago!"

A hint of sadness flashed across Huo Weilou's eyes.

Since explanation didn't work, he didn't bother to explain.

Seeing that Huo Weilou stopped talking, the old princess became even more angry, pointed at him and cursed: "What are you checking for? Since you are determined to keep this woman, you might as well say it wrong and just take her as a concubine to save the trouble. It will be embarrassing if word spreads!"

After that, the old princess didn't look at Huo Weilou again, let her grandma support her, and left the main courtyard with a cold face.

Shen Xinyue had already bandaged Huo Weilou's injury.

"I still need to prescribe you a prescription, which can be better recovered by taking it with the medicinal soup." Shen Xinyue said, sitting at the table next to her, and prescribed a method in a smooth flow.

When Huo Weilou thought of the old princess's words, he felt his temples jump.

Would Shen Xinyue be willing to take a concubine?

He moved his Adam's apple, but what he said became: "How do you plan to conduct a thorough investigation? Are there any signs?"

Shen Xinyue said: "That night, both Huo Ziyao and Lan Qingruo were given aphrodisiacs, which proves that the people behind the scenes wanted to make Huo Ziyao and Lan Qingruo get married. I think we should investigate the source of the aphrodisiacs. However, they used aphrodisiac incense, which turns to ashes after burning, making it difficult to detect as there are almost no traces, so it is very difficult."

After hearing her words, Huo Weilou frowned more and more, but he still vowed: "It can't be Huo Ziyao. He doesn't have the courage or the means."

Seeing Huo Weilou's certainty, Shen Xinyue fell into a bottleneck.

If it wasn't Huo Ziyao who changed the marriage, then who was it?

Who can benefit from it?

Over here, the east wing.

Lan Qingruo's nanny returned to the house and whispered to Lan Qingruo who was dressing up: "Miss, Shen Xinyue is not dead. He was rescued by the regent. And I heard the servants of the palace talking about it. The prince brought him with him." After I came back, I couldn't wait to roll onto the bed, but I was caught by the old princess, who was so angry that her heart ached."

After listening to the nanny's words, Lan Qingruo's originally calm and composed appearance suddenly turned ferocious.

What?

Shen Xinyue, that bitch, was so lucky that she was thrown into Zhuangzi without being bitten to death by wild beasts!

"If the prince insists on keeping her, it will be very detrimental to us. What should we do now?" the nanny asked in a low voice.

Lan Qingruo suppressed the crazy jealousy in her heart and forced herself to calm down.

After thinking for a while, she said: "Isn't this simple? The old princess hates Shen Xinyue, so let's burn the fire a little brighter and kill with a borrowed knife. In short, no matter what, we must not spare her life!"

Shen Xinyue must take the blame for the marriage exchange!

Lan Qingruo whispered a few words to the nanny again, and the nanny responded repeatedly.

Not long after, Lan Qingruo carried a food box and took the wet nurse to the courtyard where the old princess lived.

Huo Ziyao happened to come out of the yard and saw Lan Qingruo, and his eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

"Qingruo, are you here to see mother?" Huo Ziyao was about to step forward and take Lan Qingruo's food box.

Lan Qingruo nodded reservedly and said: "I heard that the princess was sick due to anger. My nanny knows some medical knowledge and stewed some medicinal food to clear up the stagnation and bring it here specially."

Lan Qingruo said, deliberately hiding her fingers behind her back.

This subtle movement was naturally noticed by Huo Ziyao, who hurriedly pulled her fingers up. Seeing that her fingers were indeed burnt red, he immediately felt distressed and said, "Why are your hands burned? Let a servant do such a thing. That’s it! Why bother doing it yourself?”

Lan Qingruo hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't make a fuss, it's just a minor injury. I gave the old princess something to eat. How dare I borrow it from others?"

Huo Ziyao was so moved that he immediately pulled Lan Qingruo into the house and said, "Mother, Qingruo came to see you. He even burned his hand in order to stew medicinal food for you."

The wet nurse brought the medicinal meal to the old princess with great discernment.

The old princess took a bite and found that it was really sweet and moist.

"You are still clear and knowledgeable about books and etiquette, unlike some people from a small family who only know how to get into a man's bed! This time it is a mistake. You two will live a good life in the future. I will find an opportunity to enter the palace. Let the Queen Mother know this." The old princess said.

Huo Ziyao immediately took Lan Qingruo's hand and said lovingly: "I will, I will definitely treat Qingruo very well."

The courtyard was full of joy, and no one noticed that Huo Weilou quietly retreated out, his face gloomy.

Huo Weilou returned to the main courtyard.

Shen Xinyue was making medicine for him. When she saw him coming back, she brought the medicine soup up: "Didn't you go to see the old princess? Why are you back again?"

Huo Weilou looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Lan Qingruo asked her nanny to stew the medicinal meal and send it over. Zi Yao is also there, so it's superfluous for me to go there."

After hearing Huo Weilou's words, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Shen Xinyue's mind.

"Medicinal food? If you want to stew medicinal food, you must be someone who is proficient in pharmacology. We have checked the things that come into the house, and there is no aphrodisiac in them, but we have ignored the most important point."

Shen Xinyue looked at Huo Weilou with burning eyes.

Huo Weilou frowned and said, "Which point is it?"

"That means people who understand pharmacology can prepare it by themselves! Then there is no need to buy this thing into the house! As long as you have the ingredients, you can prepare it!" Shen Xinyue suddenly slapped her thigh.

"You mean, you doubt Lan Qingruo?" Huo Weilou immediately rejected the idea, "Why does she want to change her marriage? She behaves as if she is infatuated with me?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Xinyue laughed mercilessly.

"Stop it, if I was really crazy about you, how could I refuse Huo Ziyao's embrace?"

"The king holds a high position and Huo Ziyao is just a rich idler. Her imperial family is now in dire straits. Marrying me is to support the family. What are the benefits of marrying Huo Ziyao?" Huo Weilou doesn't believe Lan Qingruo, but he just doesn't think so. reason.
