When he saw one of them, Chu Hengzhi's expression changed instantly. He took a few steps back, let go of Hua Jingxuan, and quickly walked forward to close the door.
Hua Shu was thinking about something and didn't notice the person coming in. She helped Hua Jingxuan back a few steps and barely stood firm, then frowned and looked at Chu Hengzhi.
Just as she was about to speak, Chu Hengzhi covered her mouth first and said in a low voice: "Your father and the prince are outside."
Hearing this, Hua Shu's face turned ugly. Why would Hua Huaiyuan and the prince come here at this time?
Suddenly, she thought that the Queen must have become suspicious of Hua Huaiyuan after knowing that Chu Hengzhi appeared in Xiaoyuexuan, so she asked the Prince to find Hua Huaiyuan. She just didn't know why they came here.
At this time, the prince, Hua Huaiyuan and Hua Yunyan in the courtyard also found something wrong, especially the prince and Hua Yunyan, who smelled a strong smell of blood.
Seeing that there was a light on in one of the rooms, Hua Huaiyuan walked over subconsciously, but Hua Yunyan reached out and grabbed him.
"Father, wait a moment."
Hua Huaiyuan frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hua Yunyan said angrily, "I smell a strong smell of blood."
Hua Huaiyuan couldn't help but frown after hearing this. He also found something wrong. He had always sent people to guard this place, but it was too quiet today.
Hua Yunyan and the prince looked at each other, and they both walked towards the lighted room at the same time.
Hua Shu and Chu Hengzhi, who were in the room, looked extremely unhappy when they heard the footsteps approaching from afar.
Hua Shu thought of a solution quickly in her mind, and soon her eyes fell on the window on the right.
Chu Hengzhi followed her gaze and instantly understood what she meant.
He lowered his voice and said, "I have people outside. As long as we get out of here, we can escape safely."
Hua Shu nodded, looking at the figure who had already reached the door. She took out a few silver needles from her arms and handed them to Chu Hengzhi, whispering, "These silver needles are highly poisonous."
Chu Hengzhi understood and carefully took the silver needle from her hand, then threw it at the two people outside. Then he carried Hua Jingxuan and Hua Shu and jumped out of the window.
The prince and Hua Jingyan outside the door dodged the silver needles that were emitting cold light. After hearing the sound in the house, they quickly stepped forward, pushed the door open, and saw three corpses lying on the ground.
As they looked at the wide open window, they walked over quickly, only to see two figures disappear around the corner.
Hua Jingxuan's face changed drastically, and he quickly walked into the courtyard and said coldly to the people guarding outside: "Go to the back alley and stop them for me."
Several guards with high martial arts skills responded and turned to head towards the back alley.
Hua Huaiyuan's face changed when he heard his words, and he quickly walked into the house. When he saw the three bodies on the ground, his face also sank.
"Did you see who rescued the person?"
Hua Yunyan shook his head, his face equally gloomy as he said, "I didn't see who it was, I only saw two silhouettes from behind."
Hua Huaiyuan's eyes turned cold. He didn't understand who would come to save Hua Jingxuan when almost everyone who knew about his existence had died.
The prince walked around the room and finally his eyes fell on the hairpin on the ground. He bent down to pick up the blood-stained hairpin and turned to look at Hua Huaiyuan and his son.
"Prime Minister, Second Young Master, have you ever seen this hairpin?"
Hua Huaiyuan and Hua Yunyan walked forward, checked the hairpin in his hand, and shook their heads together.
The prince glanced at the three bodies on the ground, thought for a moment and said, "Could it be possible that it belonged to one of the three people on the ground?"
Hua Yunyan took the hairpin, looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "These three people are my mother's people. I am sure this hairpin does not belong to these three people."
When the prince heard him say this, he frowned and said, "Only those three people in this room are women. If it's not theirs, could it be your brother's?"
Hua Yunyan shook his head: "Hua Jingxuan is a lunatic and has never been out. This hairpin cannot possibly be his."
After he finished speaking, the three people in the room fell into deep thought. If the hairpin did not belong to those three women, it was also not Hua Jingxuan's.
There is only one possibility, that the hairpin was dropped by the person who rescued Hua Jingxuan.
It was obvious that all three of them had thought of this.
The prince was the first to speak up: "I see this hairpin is very delicate, it doesn't look like something from an ordinary person's home. Do you think it is possible that this hairpin came from the palace?"
When Hua Huaiyuan and Hua Yunyan heard him say this, they instantly realized that he suspected that the person who had just rescued Hua Jingxuan was Hua Shu.
Hua Huaiyuan spoke first: "Your Highness, I know you suspect Hua Shu, but I don't think she has the ability to sneak out of the palace and rescue Hua Jingxuan."
"Oh, really." The prince looked at the open window and smiled playfully: "What if Chu Hengzhi helps her?"
After these words were spoken, Hua Huaiyuan and Hua Yunyan's faces turned ugly. They couldn't help but think of what the prince had just told them, that Chu Hengzhi appeared in Hua Shu's bedroom.
But they didn't understand that Hua Shu had been raised in seclusion since she was a child. Most of the time, she was locked up in brothels by him to learn how to seduce men from prostitutes. Even on the few times she went out, he sent people to follow her.
Chu Hengzhi was far away in Kyoto, having only arrived there a month ago. How could they be related?
The prince knew what they were thinking. He took the hairpin from Hua Yunyan and said, "If you want to know whether the person today is Hua Shu, you will know after a try."
Hearing this, Hua Huaiyuan and Hua Yunyan looked at each other with extremely ugly expressions. They knew what the prince meant.
But what they are worried about now is that if Hua Shu really has Chu Hengzhi's support, once she knows those secrets, what will she do to the Hua family...
The prince looked at the hairpin in his hand with a deep look in his eyes. At first he suspected that Hua Huaiyuan and Hua Yunyan were secretly communicating with Chu Hengzhi.
Now it seems that he was overthinking, but there was still something he couldn't understand. Since the father and son of the Hua family had no intention of holding Chu Hengzhi hostage, why would Hua Shu be involved with him.
……
On this side, Hua Shu and Chu Hengzhi jumped out of the window and ran into Mo Qing and his men. They waited for them to deal with the guards who had caught up with them.
Chu Hengzhi handed Hua Jingxuan to Mo Qing and asked him to take him back home. Then he carried Hua Shu onto the horse and mounted the horse himself and galloped towards the direction of the imperial palace.
At the same time, He Zhong in the palace looked at the sky which was gradually getting brighter, and he spoke out a reminder.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."
Caiyue and Xiaoshengzi in the room felt their hearts in their throats when they heard He Zhong's voice.
Caiyue walked to the window with an anxious look on her face, wondering why the beauty hadn't come back yet. If Eunuch He pushed the door open in a moment, everything would be over.
He Zhong, who was standing at the door, heard no sound from the room, frowned and shouted again.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."
However, there was still no sound in the room, and He Zhong had a bad feeling in his heart.
He thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I will come in and help you dress." After he finished speaking, he pushed open the door.
