"Yaoyao, this is the first jade hairpin I carved. It's not delicate. I will carve a beautiful one for you next time."

"This carving is very good, I like it." Ouyang Yunyao felt a little distressed when she saw the many cuts on Chu Chenjing's hands.

"Okay, as long as you like it. Next time, I'll find some better jade and carve more for you." As he said that, he stood up, picked up the jade hairpin and inserted it into Ouyang Yunyao's bun.

Ouyang Yunyao felt a little embarrassed by his actions, so she giggled and said mischievously, "Then I'll accept it with reluctance. Ahem, now I'll tell you the secret!"

"Last night, I discovered that Liu Qingxiu's master, the Poison God Lai Gong, was suspicious. Ah Jing, you must send someone to keep a close eye on him. He is now staying at Yuelai Inn."

"Chu Feng" Chu Chenjing immediately called Chu Feng in.

"Go to Yuelai Inn quickly, say hello to them, and keep a close eye on that villain." This Yuelai Inn happened to be owned by Chu Chenjing's Lengsha Pavilion.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

After Chu Feng left, Chu Chenjing asked, "Yaoyao, did you find anything?"

"It was the Poison God. He asked the Second Prince to find a way to attack their Crown Prince Liang Haojun on their way back... From listening to his conversation with Liang Haobo, I feel that Liu Qingxiu is not a good person either. She seems to like the Crown Prince very much. She seems to be preparing to attack the Crown Prince and his wife. You must remind them to be on guard!"

"She wants to harm Big Brother?"

"She might be trying to murder my sister-in-law and take her place."

"Oh? Hasn't she given up yet?" Chu Chenjing muttered softly.

"I have placed a micro camera in the second prince's room. When we return to the palace, we will see what they have conspired today!"

"Well, I'll go talk to the prince later."

"Yes, that old poison god is a master at making poisons. I wonder what other methods he will use to harm people." Ouyang Yunyao said as she took out two bottles of pills from her sleeve and handed them to Chu Chenjing. "After taking these pills, you will be immune to all poisons. You take them to the prince and his brother, and ask him and his sister-in-law to take one pill every day. Their personal guards should also take one. This pill can ensure that the person who takes it will not be affected by any poison or drug within twelve hours."

After lunch, Chu Chenjing took Chu Feng away from the hot pot restaurant and continued to escort the safety of Kyoto.

Ouyang Yunyao took Xiao Cui and a few others to Huicui House first, bought some things, and then returned home.

Yu Palace

The capital was in an uproar, and Chu Chenyu was not idle either. Several of his confidants had quietly entered the palace from the back door at some point. These people were all trained by Chu Chenyu's maternal grandfather, Prime Minister Xue, and now they were all firmly in Prince Yu's team. The two most capable people among them were Chu Chenyu's two fathers-in-law, Minister Song of the Ministry of Justice and Minister Xie of the Ministry of Rites. In addition, there were his uncle Xue Jianming and his eldest son Xue Bowen, the sixth prince Chu Chenxuan, and several others.

They gathered together and put forward some ideas.

"Your Majesty, now that envoys from several countries have arrived, it is a good time. We must quickly contact Beiyue, Nanchu, and Dongqin."

"Your Highness, judging from the past two days, Prince Jing and the Crown Prince must have lost the support of Beiyue and Nanchu. They will definitely seek contact with Dongqin," said another person.

"Your Majesty, I think we should find a way to form an alliance with them. It would be best if the third princess could marry to Nanchu."

"Mr. Song is right. This is a good idea."

"I think it would be best for the Sixth Prince to marry Princess Le Yi of Beiyue. Then the cooperation with Beiyue will be much greater. What do you think, Sixth Prince?" Xue Jianming said.

“For the sake of my second brother, this prince is willing to marry Princess Le Yi. I wonder if the princess is willing?” said the Sixth Prince Chu Chenxuan.

"Okay, sixth brother, I'll find a way." Prince Yu kept tapping his fingers on the table.

"Cousin, you have to find a way to connect Lanmei with the prince of Nanchu, whether it's the crown prince Liang Haojun or the second prince Liang Haobo. In two days, your father may have to arrange marriages with these countries." Xue Bowen reminded.

"Well, that's easy! I'll have someone tell Lan'er to leave the palace and come to Prince Yu's mansion. I'll talk to her."

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince Qin Lin of East Qin just married the eldest princess, who is the daughter of Concubine Rong and has a good relationship with the Queen. I'm afraid it will be difficult for East Qin to join forces, right?"

"Didn't Dongqin also have a princess? Although she keeps a low profile, she is the Crown Prince's biological sister and I heard she has a very good relationship with the eldest sister. I think, Sixth Brother, you should find a way to get in touch with her, and it would be best if she would be interested in you. As for the Princess Le Yi of Beiyue, cousin, haven't you married yet? If you can get this princess, it would be great for us."

"Second brother, what a great idea! I will go to visit my eldest sister in the next few days."

"Yes. Cousin, you also need to find a way to get close to Princess Leyi."

"Cousin, don't worry! Isn't she just a princess? With my looks, can't I handle a mere princess?"

"Well, it must be done, no matter what method is used."

"Your Highness, these moves of yours are brilliant. If they all succeed, we can easily get help from these countries, and the position of crown prince... will be yours."

“Hahahaha…” Chu Chenyu laughed triumphantly, as if everything was under his control.

"Second brother, there is something I wonder if you know? My people discovered that Miss Liu, the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, and her master have also come to Kyoto and entered the embassy last night." Chu Chenxuan remembered this important matter.

"Does it matter that her master came to Kyoto? Who is her master? Is he very powerful?" someone asked.

"I know about this. Her master is from Southern Chu and has profound attainments in medicine and poisons. People call him the God of Poison. Liu Qingxiu is his only female disciple. At that time, I wanted to win over Liu Qingxiu, but who knew that she was so stubborn and only loved Chu Chenxiao." Chu Chenyu spoke slowly and leisurely.

"Master Liu is an old fox. He has been practicing Tai Chi with my father." Xue Jianming added.

"Father, isn't now the right time? Three years ago, Chu Chenxiao didn't want to marry Liu Qingxiu and didn't even want to give her the position of concubine. At that time, this caused a lot of uproar in Kyoto. Didn't she leave for this reason? I think that although she is still obsessed with marrying Chu Chenxiao, it is definitely not because of love. It must be because she didn't get it and she is unwilling to give up!" Xue Bowen paused for a while and said, "Will she... ? Let's send someone to keep a close eye on it. If anything happens, we will..."

"Master Xue, this is a brilliant move."

"Hahaha, cousin, this is a good idea..." Chu Chenyu swept away the worries of recent days.

After discussing for a while, they quietly left through the back door.
