Lu Shian's mouth corners slightly raised, and with a seemingly relaxed smile he lowered his eyes and said softly: "Yes, the doctors outside the palace can see that Chen'er is poisoned, but the imperial doctors in the palace can't see it."

Her voice was gentle, but it contained an unspeakable coldness and questioning. She suspected everyone in the palace, but she never suspected the person who should be suspected the most.

Li Hongting was sitting at a table nearby, playing with a warm jade pendant in his hand. Hearing Lu Shian's words, he also laughed, his voice lazily and teasingly: "It seems that I have raised a bunch of useless people."

The tone seemed as if they were just talking about an insignificant matter.

Lu Shian originally wanted to disguise her emotions with this smile. The corners of her mouth twitched, but in the end she couldn't laugh.

In everyone's eyes, Li Hongting doted on her so much.

She thought that although she was trapped in this palace that looked gorgeous but was as cold as a cage, at least she would not be wronged, and even the queen would not easily embarrass her.

She once naively believed that she possessed the love of the most noble man in the world. That love was like an umbrella that could protect her and Chen'er from wind and rain.

But the facts gave her a loud slap in the face.

This man who doted on her the most seemed to be not so kind to her. His doting was probably just a disguise, a carefully planned drama.

She remembered the obscure words that Shen Cuo had risked saying to her before. Yes, who else could have made Shen Cuo risk his life to say such words except the man in front of her?

Seeing that Lu Shian hadn't spoken yet, Li Hongting looked up at her with a hint of fake concern in his eyes: "My beloved concubine, why do you look so unhappy?"

His voice was still gentle, but to Lu Shian, it sounded full of hypocrisy.

Their eyes met in mid-air. Li Hongting seemed to be smiling, but her gentle eyes were cold, like the cold wind from the Arctic, penetrating Lu Shian's body. Lu Shian's heart skipped a beat, as if an invisible hand had tightly grasped her heart.

"Ha." She sneered softly, her laughter full of self-mockery.

"Hehe..." The laughter gradually became louder, with a hint of madness.

"Hahaha..." She couldn't help but laugh, and the louder she laughed, the louder it became.

She always thought she was very smart. Even though she became a virtuous concubine reluctantly, she still felt that everything was under her control. But now it seems that she is a joke.

Li Hongting frowned unhappily, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "My beloved, what's wrong?"

Lu Shian laughed until tears came out, and it took a while for her to stop laughing. She raised her head and looked at Li Hongting, with a hint of determination and a calmness that saw through everything in her eyes: "I am sorry, but I just thought of something funny and couldn't help laughing."

Her voice was calm, as if the crazy laughter just now did not come from her mouth.

"It's okay." Li Hongting said lightly, with a barely perceptible murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Li Hongting did not stay long. After sitting for a while, he got up and left.

As soon as the others left, Lu Shian immediately called Shen Cuo over.

Hearing that she wanted to see Shen Cuo, Lu Er was stunned at first: "Are you going to ask him to come over now?"

Lu Shian understood her concerns. There had been rumors before that she and Shen Cuo had something unclear. Now that she summoned him so openly, wouldn't that just give her more room for gossip?

Lu Shian sneered: "A person of integrity is not afraid of his own shadow. Whoever dares to gossip about me will have his tongue cut off."

Shen Cuo was on duty today and came very quickly.

Lu Shian dismissed his attendants and said, "Help me."

Shen Cuo was stunned: "What do you mean, Madam?"

"It's okay for me to be wronged, but you absolutely cannot touch my son."

"What does the queen want to do?"

"What do you want to do..."

Lu Shian chewed on these words in a low voice.

She paced back and forth with her head down.

Yes, what should she do to save her son and her family?

"what should I do……"

Shen Cuo was not in a hurry and just looked at her quietly.

Lu Shian is in a state of confusion now, and she doesn't know why she summoned Shen Cuo in the first place.

She walked slowly to the chaise longue and sat down.

Shen Cuo saw her panic.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to specifically call me here. I am on your side."

Hearing Shen Cuo's words, Lu Shian slowly raised his head.

Her confused eyes slowly focused on Shen Cuo's face.

Suddenly she smiled.

All the panic and helplessness disappeared at this moment.

Shen Cuo has always been by her side, didn't she know that?

"Sir Shen, please help me find out when this game of chess started."

Shen Cuo suddenly smiled silently, this smile was full of doting: "Your subordinate obeys your order."

After Shen Cuo left, Lu Shian locked herself in the room for two whole days. During these two days, she thought a lot, from the first meeting with Li Hongting to every time afterwards, she thought about it carefully.

It turned out that some things had already been traced, but she was blind and failed to discover the problems in time.

But there is another important thing right now, which is to find Nanxing.

Now she only knows that Chen'er has been poisoned, but she doesn't know what kind of poison it is or what impact it will have in the future. Now she doesn't trust anyone except Nanxing.

Far away in the deep mountains at the border of Dayuan Kingdom, in a thatched hut, Nanxing was pouting.

Jing Mo walked in from outside carrying food.

"Have a meal."

Nanxing didn't even look at it, and turned her head away stubbornly.

"I don't want to eat this. I want to eat roast chicken, roast duck, or fruit salad."

"You don't want to eat it. Okay, if you don't want to eat it, I'll eat it."

Jing Mo sat down opposite Nan Xing and started eating without any hesitation.

Nanxing's stomach growled at an inopportune moment, making her even angrier.

Jing Mo suppressed his laughter and said, "Ah, our Junior Sister Nanxing is a person who knows how to enjoy life. She would rather starve to death than eat something that is not tasty. Well, I will just eat this simple meal by myself reluctantly."

"Hmm, these pheasant eggs, the taste, tsk tsk ..."

"Today's fish stew is delicious, and this ginseng and pheasant soup is delicious..."

Nanxing's stomach growled twice again. Nanxing was so angry that she wanted to starve herself to death, but her stomach and her mouth were traitors.

She angrily came to the table and sat down, snatched the chicken leg from Jing Mo's hand, and then ate it in big mouthfuls. Because she ate too fast, she choked and rolled her eyes.

Jing Mo quickly picked up the unfinished chicken soup in front of him and handed it over: "Oh, go slowly, be careful not to choke."

"Come on, you have to starve yourself for a few meals before you start eating. What do you want?"

"I just want to have fun, what's your business?"

Jing Mo sighed heavily: "I know you blame me. Master owes me a favor, and now you come to ask Master for help. How can Master refuse?"
