The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

Due to Wang Xu's reminder, Su Qi did not poison Su Jiaojiao again in the next few days. Su Jiaojiao's health also gradually began to improve under this condition. Xue Ji would visit Su Jiaojiao once a day, silently observing the layout of the room, and then learn about the movements in the room through the secret guards. However, for several days, he did not find anything unusual.

At the same time, the Qi Wang Mansion was in turmoil. Yesterday, Xiao Duanyue went to the palace to discuss his plan with the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine was puzzled as to why Xiao Duanyue did not invite Wang Xu to come and discuss it together. Xiao Duanyue was vague and said that Wang Xu was busy recently. The Imperial Concubine did not agree with this. She blamed Xiao Duanyue for discussing the matter with Wang Xu again, after all, Wang Xu was cautious. Although Xiao Duanyue agreed, he was a little hesitant in his heart. After all, this matter involved Lu Qingxi. If he told Wang Xu, it might cause trouble.

Finally, Xiao Duanyue decided to act according to the plan discussed with the imperial concubine and sent a letter to the prince's mansion. After reading the contents of the letter, Xiao Ruixuan hesitated. He did not expect that the King of Qi would choose to join forces with him to get rid of Xiao Yuebai. For a moment, he was undecided and did not know how to make a decision.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Xiao Ruixuan was summoned to the palace by his mother. When Concubine Duan saw the prince coming, she asked directly, "Did the King of Qi send you a letter yesterday? What was in the letter?" Seeing that his mother didn't even say a greeting, Xiao Ruixuan pressed him directly, feeling a little uncomfortable. But he still suppressed his discomfort and told Concubine Duan the contents of the letter one by one.

After hearing this, Concubine Duan's eyes flashed with a calculating light. She sneered and said, "The King of Qi is sure that you will not refuse him in order to keep your position as the Crown Prince, and at the same time he wants to get rid of a big worry in his heart. Well, go and reply to the letter and say that the Crown Prince's Mansion will do its utmost to help." Xiao Ruixuan frowned and felt uncomfortable after hearing what his mother said. He was about to say something when he heard Concubine Duan ask, "By the way, when is the marriage agreement between you and Lu Shiyao?"

Xiao Ruixuan was stunned for a moment, as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart, and he couldn't breathe. He didn't speak for a long time, just stood there straight, as if he had lost the ability to speak. Seeing that her son didn't reply, Concubine Duan didn't intend to persuade him, but just said coldly: "You go down, and first finish the cooperation with the King of Qi." Then, she put her hand on her forehead and closed her eyes.

Xiao Ruixuan sighed helplessly and walked back to the mansion with heavy steps. He knew very well that he had no room to say "no" in front of his mother. His mother was a man of her word, and she would not allow him to disobey her in any way.

Although Xiao Ruixuan had his doubts about the King of Qi's proposal, he finally decided to act according to his mother's wishes. He picked up his pen and wrote back to the King of Qi, saying that the Prince's Mansion would cooperate. However, at the end of the letter, he deliberately added a sentence: "It would be better to abolish Xiao Yuebai, not to kill him." This is his bottom line and his concern for the future.

He knew that once it came to killing, things would become more complicated and dangerous. As they were both of royal blood, he still took into account the brotherhood.

After receiving the reply from the Prince's Mansion, the King of Qi immediately opened the letter. He read it carefully until he saw that the prince asked to spare Xiao Yuebai's life. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. How hypocritical. He turned to Ah Jin and ordered:

"Get ready. I guess the first thing Xiao Yuebai will do when he returns to the city is to look for Lu Qingxi. When you see Lu Qingxi leaving the mansion, follow him immediately, and then notify the Prince's Mansion to act together. Remember, this time you have to kill them, and don't leave any of them alive."

After hearing this, A Jin nodded respectfully and then went downstairs to arrange personnel and be on standby at all times.

In the general's mansion, Su Qi was worried every day. He was under close surveillance and could not give Su Jiaojiao drugs. In addition, Su Jiaojiao had taken Shen Rong's detoxification pills before, and her health had improved greatly. Su Qi was anxious as he saw that his plan was about to fail. He knew that if this continued, Su Jiaojiao would not be able to marry Xue Qinglan. So, he found Wang Xu again.

This time, he did not choose to invite her because he knew that she would not see him recently. So, he broke into the Imperial Censorate directly. Wang Xu had been quite idle recently, taking care of a few newly found orchids in his yard every day. He was very concerned about these orchids. Hearing that Su Qi came directly to his door, his face darkened and he asked someone to call him in immediately.

When Su Qi saw Wang Xu, he immediately lowered his posture and began to ask him for help. However, Wang Xu just glanced at him with contempt, and then turned to look at the documents on the table, as if Su Qi's existence was meaningless to him. Seeing this, Su Qi's anger burned in his heart, and he shouted loudly:

"If you don't save me, then you won't have an easy life either! I will tell the Xue family that it was you who ordered me and Su Jiaojiao to frame the eldest prince!"

Wang Xu's expression did not change when he heard this. He spoke calmly:

"You went to the pharmacy to get the medicine yourself, you paid for it yourself, and you gave the medicine to Su Jiaojiao. You did all this by yourself. What does it have to do with me?"

Hearing Wang Xu's words, Su Qi's face gradually turned pale. He knew that what the other party said was all true. Wang Xu always acted flawlessly. He didn't have any token in his hand, so how could he possibly be linked to the other party?

Despair surged in Su Qi's heart. She didn't expect Wang Xu to be so indifferent. However, at this moment, Wang Xu began to give orders again:

"Aye, take him to the street and hit him with the mansion's carriage. Then use the carriage to send him back to the mansion. Remember to give him a simple bandage in the mansion and then send him to the general's mansion... and remind the servants that Master Su has only been here once today!"

When Su Qi heard the other party's arrangement, she looked at Wang Xu viciously and began to curse:

"Wang Xu, you will be punished, and so will the person you like! Just wait and see!"

A Ye walked up to him, blocked his mouth with a cloth, and then took him out.

Wang Xu didn't think much of Su Qi's curse at first. However, at night, he was still restless. He began to think about what happened recently and suddenly realized that something was wrong. Especially since the King of Qi hadn't looked for him recently, he felt an inexplicable sense of crisis. So, he decided to go to the King of Qi's mansion more often in the next few days to see if he could get some useful information.

When Wang Xu stepped into the Qi Wang Mansion, his face did not show any strange color. When he talked with Qi Wang, his tone was calm, just a normal greeting and asking if he needed his help. After hearing this, Qi Wang's eyes flickered, and he casually mentioned that he was worried about getting closer to Lu Shiyao, and there was no other important matter that needed to trouble Wang Xu.

However, Wang Xu's heart was in turmoil. He knew that the King of Qi had no feelings for Lu Shiyao, and every time he mentioned this matter, he was just trying to shirk responsibility. Now he took the initiative to mention his relationship with Lu Shiyao, which must be a strange thing. His heart sank, thinking that the King of Qi must be hiding something.

Before leaving the Qi Wang Mansion, Wang Xu paid special attention to the people in the mansion and found that there seemed to be fewer people than before. This subtle change made him more alert, but he did not want to arouse the suspicion of the Qi Wang, so he went to the palace to meet the imperial concubine under the pretext of presenting gifts on behalf of his father.

When the imperial concubine met Wang Xu, Lu Qingxi had just arrived at the Fahua Temple.

Wang Xu first presented the gift and expressed his respect to the imperial concubine. Then, he tried to ask questions to find out the imperial concubine's true intentions towards the King of Qi and Lu Qingxi.

However, the imperial concubine suddenly asked:

"Xu'er is really thoughtful. Thank your father on my behalf. But why did you come to the palace today? Aren't you supposed to help your cousin watch over Longmen Mountain? After Xiao Yuebai dies, we can continue to deal with the prince's issue."

Wang Xu's heart skipped a beat when he heard his aunt's words. The King of Qi had not even discussed such an important matter with him. He thought of Su Qi's previous curse, "The person you like will also suffer retribution!" A strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart. Could Lu Qingxi also be in danger?

He suppressed his uneasiness and said goodbye to the imperial concubine:

"Aunt is right. I'll rush over right away. I feel a little uneasy without you." The imperial concubine has always trusted her nephew. She was not suspicious and immediately asked someone to arrange a fast horse.

Wang Xu called Ah Ye, there was no time to bring more people. He was anxious and rushed to Longmen Mountain as fast as he could. He knew that he had to get there as soon as possible to protect Lu Qingxi's safety.
