Xiao Juzhu's brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river shape). After spending time with Hua Shu today, he no longer trusted him.

The Thousand Faces Young Master also knew that he didn't really trust him now, so he didn't keep him in suspense. He walked up to him and spoke a few words to him in a low voice.

After hearing this, Xiao Juzhu's frown relaxed: "Are you sure there is a herb?"

The Thousand Faces Young Master looked at him and smiled, "You won't believe me if I tell you there is one now. Wait until I go back and have someone get it for you. Then you'll know when you take it."

Hearing this, Xiao Juzhu snorted and said, "Then I will believe you again."

The Thousand-Faced Young Master smiled, then suddenly remembered something, and put away the smile on his face and asked, "Are you really going to tell the Crown Prince and Hua Huaiyuan the address of Hua Huaijin? Aren't you afraid that they will use this opportunity to kill your little cousin?"

Xiao Juzhu pinched the bridge of his nose and snorted coldly, "She wants to kill me, why should I care about her?"

After he finished speaking, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "If she is really about to die, then I will appear in front of her as her savior. I am afraid that she will not be devoted to me."

The Thousand-Faced Young Master was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "As expected of you."

He says sweet words that make people sick, but does things that kill people without them knowing. This is the real Xiao Juzhu.

As soon as daybreak, Hua Huaiyuan and the prince both learned that Hua Huaijin was still alive and knew his address.

They immediately sent people to rush to that place without stopping, determined to bring Hua Huaijin back.

……

The Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Chu Hengzhi had just returned from court, his face was frighteningly pale. He was having a nice discussion with Su Zefeng in the study last night when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart and then vomited blood.

He knew that there was something wrong with Hua Shu, so he didn't ask anyone to call a doctor and just endured it.

He did not go into the palace to ask Hua Shu what happened, because he had his own things to do and he did not want to care too much about Hua Shu.

Just as I returned to my yard and had not yet sat down, Su Zefeng walked in hurriedly.

Chu Hengzhi saw that he looked a little anxious, frowned and asked: "What happened?"

Su Zefeng walked forward and poured a cup of tea before drinking it. "The Bu Neng Wei you sent to monitor Hua Huaiyuan sent a message that Hua Huaiyuan personally led a group of people out of the city in disguise early this morning and went to Yong'an Temple."

Upon hearing this, Chu Hengzhi's brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (川) character. Wasn't Hua Huaiyuan seriously ill and recuperating at home? Why was he disguising himself and taking people to Yong'an Temple?

"Did you find out what he was doing?"

Su Zefeng poured another cup of tea and drank it. He took a few breaths and said, "I followed him out of the city as soon as I received the news. When I arrived at Yong'an Temple, I happened to see Hua Huaiyuan leading his men away. After he left, I asked the monks inside. You would never guess what Hua Huaiyuan was doing in Yong'an Temple."

Chu Hengzhi said helplessly: "Can you please stop keeping me in suspense?"

Su Zefeng chuckled and didn't keep the secret any longer: "He went to look for his brother Hua Huaijin, who had been dead for many years."

After saying that, he paused for a moment, and then continued, "Before Hua Huaiyuan, a group of people went to Yong'an Temple, also for Hua Huaijin, but the monks in Yong'an Temple told me that they didn't find Hua Huaijin, because he had left Yong'an Temple three days ago."

Chu Hengzhi's brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river shape). Why would Hua Huaijin, a dead person, suddenly appear in Yongsi?

How did Hua Huaiyuan know that he was in Yong'an Temple, and who sent the group of people who went to Yong'an Temple before Hua Huaiyuan?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Zefeng couldn't help but ask: "Did you think of something?"

Chu Hengzhi shook his head, and after sitting down, he tapped the table with his fingers. After a long while, he said, "I asked you to check the matter about Xiao Juzhu before. Have you found any news?"

Seeing him mention Xiao Juzhu, Su Zefeng said seriously: "I found out, and you will never guess the result in your lifetime."

"What do you mean?" Chu Hengzhi looked at him and asked.

Su Zefeng looked at him and said word by word, "It was Xiao Juzhu who set the fire at the Xiao family. Xiao Junru was standing next to him when he set the fire."

Chu Hengzhi stood up suddenly after hearing this: "I remember that what we investigated before was that Hua Huaiyuan was the one who harmed the Xiao family. How could it be that he set the fire?"

"It was indeed Hua Huaiyuan who was found before." Su Zefeng said with a serious face, "But this time I found a servant of the Xiao family. The servant was an old man of the Xiao family who was seriously ill. The old man of the Xiao family let her go home to spend the last few years with her family. She returned to her hometown a few days before the Xiao family was wiped out."

"After she returned home and lived with her son for a few days, she remembered that her wife liked to eat sweet pastries from her hometown, so she bought some for her and came to pick up something she had forgotten."

At this point, he paused, then let out a long breath and continued, "It was already night when she and her son arrived at the Xiao family's house. Before they got close, they saw flames rising to the sky. They wanted to call for help to put out the fire, but they saw two people walking in with expressionless faces. Those two people were Xiao Juzhu and Xiao Junru. They saw Xiao Juzhu throw a torch in and then lock the door."

After listening to this, Chu Hengzhi couldn't help but think of the scene when he met Xiao Juzhu in Chuxiu Palace that day. The young man looked as gentle as the breeze, and especially when he looked at Hua Shu, there was always an unfathomable suppressed affection in his eyes.

Now that he heard Su Zefeng talk about these things, he was sure that Xiao Juzhu's approach to Hua Shu was not just about admiration.

On the contrary, he entered the palace and appeared in front of Hua Shu with a purpose, but no one knew his purpose.

Putting away his thoughts, he asked, "Have you found out how and when he entered the palace?"

Speaking of this, Su Zefeng's face turned a little ugly: "He entered the palace a few days after Hua Shu, and the process of entering the palace was normal."

Chu Hengzhi fell into deep thought again after hearing this. He entered the palace a few days after Hua Shu did. So he had been hiding in the dark and spying on Hua Shu.

His purpose in doing this was to take advantage of Hua Shu, but what did he want to do with Hua Shu?

After thinking about it, Chu Hengzhi still couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up thinking about it and planned to go to Hua Shu in person to talk to her in the evening.

After thinking about it, he looked at Su Zefeng and said, "Accompany me to Yong'an Temple again."

"Okay." Su Zefeng poured another cup of tea, drank it, put down the cup, and left the house with him.

……

Chuxiu Palace.

Hua Shu had already finished reading all the medical books and even sought out Doctor He to try several methods to force the love Gu out, but all failed.

Finally, she gave Doctor He some money and asked Caiyue to send him out of Chuxiu Palace.

After seeing off Doctor He, Hua Shu stood up and walked to the window, her eyes as calm as water.

Since she couldn't remove the poison, she would kill Xiao Juzhu.

After thinking about it, she turned around and prepared to call Rendong in to tell her to do something, but when she turned around, she saw Caiyue walking in, followed by an unexpected person.
