His Majesty the King ended his one-day visit to Yingguo early because the Queen Mother was suddenly bitten by a poisonous snake.
The group of people hurried back and were sitting in the meeting hall, the atmosphere was somewhat depressing and heavy.
When Xuanyuan Ye came in, several princes were there. He glanced at Xuanyuan Xiaofeng, who was sitting under the king. His handsome face looked a bit haggard and tired, but his eyes were like still water.
Mixed with a hint of strange emotions, this man can always hide his emotions very well, and you can't guess his heart from his face.
Xuanyuan Ye sat down on the other side of the king, and everyone arrived.
The king looked at His Highness Xuanyuan Leng with a solemn expression and asked: "Second brother, what is going on?"
Xuanyuan Leng also had a worried look on his face and said slowly: "Grandma Huang suddenly wanted to drink Zhong Yuxi's tea that day, so she sent her to deliver the tea. Zhong Yuxi was scolded by Grandma Huang a few times when she was in Shuning Hall.
, and went back angrily. At night, the maid on duty heard a scream coming from Grandma Huang's room. She rushed in and saw a venomous snake climbing down from Grandma Huang's bed and slithering out of the window.
Grandma Huang was also bitten by a venomous snake. Fortunately, the imperial doctor arrived in time and her life was not in danger, but she is still bedridden. I took people to investigate this matter, because there cannot be venomous snakes in the palace.
Therefore, I suspected that someone was raising them secretly. Several guards speculated that Zhong Yuxi had just had a quarrel with Grandma Huang today. Maybe she had a grudge and took the opportunity to take revenge. So, I took people to her room.
After a search, the cage where the snake was kept was indeed found, and the evidence was overwhelming, so she was locked up first."
"Impossible, Zhong Yuxi would never do such a thing." Liu Jin stood up excitedly and glared at Xuanyuan Leng.
Xuanyuan Leng shrugged at him: "Lao Qi, why are you so excited? I just follow the rules. Could it be that I can still frame her?"
"That's possible. We don't rule out the possibility of someone framing him." Liu Jin sneered and curled his lips.
"You..." Xuanyuan Leng suddenly became furious.
"Liu Jin, sit down." Xiaofeng glanced at him. Although his tone was calm, it contained an irresistible majesty. Although Liu Jin was unwilling to give in, when he touched his bottomless eyes,
He sat down obediently and turned his head to the side in anger.
The king frowned, sighed slightly, and asked, "Where is Yu Xi?"
Xuanyuan Leng looked at Xuanyuan Ye, "I was picked up by His Highness the Crown Prince last night."
Everyone turned their gazes to Xuanyuan Ye in surprise, except Xiaofeng who still maintained the same posture and expression.
Xuanyuan Ye faced everyone's doubtful glances, leaned forward slightly, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, if I had not picked her up yesterday, your Majesty would have only seen a corpse."
The king asked in shock: "What's going on?"
"Someone wants to kill people and silence them. Zhong Yuxi is now covered in injuries. She woke up in the morning and is still unconscious. Your Majesty, I request to investigate this matter personally." Xuanyuan Ye's eyes accidentally glanced from Xuanyuan Leng's face.
However, the latter immediately pretended to avoid his gaze unintentionally.
Just as the king was about to nod, he heard Xiaofeng suddenly say: "I am willing to assist His Royal Highness to find out the matter together."
The king agreed in agreement: "It would be best if Lao Liu is here."
Xuanyuan Ye and Xiaofeng's eyes met in the air. Neither of them had any feelings for each other, but there was a hidden electric current surging.
"Prince." Liu Jin caught up with Xuanyuan Ye in front: "I want to see Zhong Yuxi."
"She is sleeping now." Xuanyuan Ye refused in a different direction.
Liu Jin lowered his head and bit his lip lightly. He now felt that he was particularly useless. Even though he was in the palace, he still failed to protect her and made her suffer like that. He was really unworthy and unworthy of her liking.
, he wished he could find someone to beat him up so that he could feel better.
Seeing his painful expression, Xuanyuan Ye softened and rubbed the top of his hair: "Okay, don't act like a woman and pretend to be wronged here. Come with me."
Liu Jin immediately raised his face in surprise: "Brother, I knew you were the best."
"Oh, isn't Lao Liu the best?" Xuanyuan Ye teased him as he walked.
A sad look flashed in Liu Jin's eyes, "No, Brother Six is also very good."
For some reason, Sixth Brother seemed to be avoiding him on purpose recently, and he didn't understand what made him angry. Therefore, he really hoped that he could go to the Royal Academy's annual Academy Festival celebration. While he was happy, he wanted to
If you get close to him properly, he might not be so cold-faced to you.
After thinking about it, I raised my head and arrived at Zihua Palace.
Liu Jin trotted in, ignoring Xuanyuan Ye's reminder from behind: "She's asleep, don't disturb her."
"No." Liu Jinyan dropped the words like a smoke. When he rushed to the door, he saw Zhong Yuxi standing there with a pale face. She also saw him, and a smile filled her eyes.
Liu Jin wanted to go over and hug her into his arms, but he held back and nodded her head as usual and scolded her: "Stupid woman, you look like a rice dumpling, you are so ugly."
Zhong Yuxi glared at him angrily, "Why are you here?"
"Of course..." He paused: "I came to the prince to ask for Kung Fu advice. You don't know, I have made a lot of progress now, and you are no longer my opponent."
"Blow it." Zhong Yuxi showed a disdainful look, and Liu Jin became anxious, "If you have the ability, just try it with His Highness."
Zhong Yuxi gave him an expression that said she was too lazy to pay attention to you. She got up and walked to the living room. She just took two steps when her head was dizzy and she almost fell. Just as Liu Jin was about to catch him, someone was faster than him and hit her in one fell swoop.
He hugged her and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"It's okay, I'm a little dizzy." Zhong Yuxi touched her forehead.
Liu Jin stared blankly at Xuanyuan Ye's nervous and concerned expression, which went beyond the concern of a highness for an ordinary maid. Even if he didn't understand, he could still understand that the prince... liked Zhong Yuxi.
Only then did Xuanyuan Ye realize that Liu Jin was looking at him blankly. He didn't take it seriously, but said to Zhong Yuxi, "Where do you want to go?"
Zhong Yuxi left his arms, "Your Majesty is back, I want to go back to Cuihua Palace."
"How can you go back when you're like this?" Xuanyuan Ye was a little angry.
"I'm not that weak. It only takes a few steps." She looked at Liu Jin and said, "Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, why did you suddenly disconnect and stop talking?"
Liu Jin came back to his senses and let out a listless sigh.
Seeing that Zhong Yuxi insisted on leaving, Xuanyuan Ye couldn't help but get angry: "Let's go, let's see how you can walk back like this?"
Just as Zhong Yuxi was about to speak, she heard a soft voice coming from outside the door. The relaxed voice had an uncarved smoothness and suppleness, like large daisies blooming one after another in the spring field.
