After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something, and the smile on his lips deepened.

……

Here, Chu Hengzhi left the palace through the secret passage. He covered his chest, and blood dripped from his fingertips to the ground.

This Tongxin Gu was truly powerful, it actually made him feel the same way.

Also, Hua Shu was really cruel. She was not only cruel to others, but also to herself. She could even stab a dagger into her chest without changing her expression. He underestimated her.

He forced himself to call out, "Mo Qing."

Mo Qing flashed in front of him, and seeing that his face was pale, he quickly stepped forward to support him: "Your Highness, what happened to you?"

Chu Hengzhi's face was frighteningly pale: "I was slightly injured, let's go back home first."

Mo Qing responded and helped him towards the Fourth Prince.

Here, Su Zefeng had something to say to Chu Hengzhi, and had been waiting for him to come back in his courtyard.

Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned around and saw Mo Qing supporting Chu Hengzhi, whose face was pale and blood was still dripping from his left hand.

He suddenly stood up from the stone bench, walked over quickly to support Chu Hengzhi, and asked, "What happened?"

Chu Hengzhi said weakly: "It's okay, just a minor injury."

Su Zefeng frowned. He wanted to ask Chu Hengzhi how he could get injured just by going into the palace.

But seeing how he looked, he decided to ask again later.

After he and Mo Qing helped Chu Hengzhi into the house and sat him down, he asked someone to call a doctor.

Chu Hengzhi shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I just got a cut on my arm. Ask Mo Qing to bring the medicine box over and bandage it for me. There's no need to call a doctor."

Su Zefeng frowned: "You look so bad, how can we not ask a doctor to come and take a look?"

Chu Hengzhi shook his head, and then the pain in his abdomen made him gasp.

After a while, he said, "My ugly face is not because of injury, but because of the Tongxin Gu."

Hearing this, Su Zefeng and Mo Qing frowned at the same time. He asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Chu Hengzhi told Hua Shu about her use of fake pregnancy drugs and what happened in the palace.

After hearing this, Su Zefeng and Mo Qing showed a look of shock on their faces.

"How did the emperor know you were in Chuxiu Palace?"

Chu Hengzhi heard this, his eyes darkened and he said, "I don't know. Not long after I appeared in Chuxiu Palace, my father led people to surround Chuxiu Palace."

"In order to escape, she stabbed her chest with my dagger and cut my arm. Then it was Rendong and Xiao Shengzi, as well as her maid and the palace maids of Chuxiu Palace."

"Then they made me spread blood everywhere, making it look like I was assassinated. Then they made me change into eunuch's clothes and find an opportunity to change into guard's clothes and sneak out of the palace."

In fact, there was one thing he didn't say, which was that Hua Shu took this opportunity to kill several spies arranged by the queen.

At a time when she could lose her head if she wasn't careful, she still had the mind to deal with other people's spies. This was what Chu Hengzhi admired the most.

Su Zefeng's eyes flashed with shock after hearing this. He asked, "Did you come up with this idea?"

Chu Hengzhi shook his head: "It's her."

Su Zefeng was silent after hearing this. After a while, he said, "Hua Shu is definitely not a simple person to be able to think of a way to escape in such a short time."

Chu Hengzhi didn't say anything. He had already known that Hua Shu was not a simple person.

Mo Qing had already brought the medicine box over and took off Chu Hengzhi's shirt.

When they saw the wound on his arm, both he and Su Zefeng couldn't help but gasp.

Su Zefeng couldn't help but said, "It's just a show, how could the wound be so deep?"

Chu Hengzhi gritted his teeth and said, "She said she needed blood, so she cut deeper."

In fact, he didn't believe Hua Shu's words at all, and even suspected that she was deliberately taking revenge on him for poisoning her with the Love Gu, which was why she treated him so harshly.

You know, she was much gentler towards Rendong, Xiao Shengzi, Caiyue and the others.

Although they had more wounds than him, they were all shallow, while his were so deep, so he suspected Hua Shu did it on purpose.

Su Zefeng heard this and said nothing more. He and Mo Qing applied medicine and bandaged him.

After doing all this, seeing that his face was still very ugly, Su Zefeng hesitated and said, "Are you really not going to ask a doctor to come and take a look?"

Chu Hengzhi shook his head: "It's useless. Unless the Tongxin Gu is removed, I can only endure it."

After hearing what he said, Su Zefeng fell silent again. How could the Tongxin Gu be so easy to cure?

Chu Hengzhi felt the pain in his abdomen lessen a little. He took a long breath and asked, "It's so late, why don't you go back home to rest?"

Hearing his question, Su Zefeng remembered that he had something to say to him. He straightened his face and said, "I came here to tell you that the person who tried to assassinate you last time has been found out. It was the Fifth Prince's man."

Chu Yunyang?

Chu Hengzhi frowned. He had never had any enmity with him, so why did he want to assassinate him?

But he soon realized that Chu Yunyang was the prince's man, and it must be the prince who asked him to do it.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Su Zefeng couldn't help but asked, "What are you going to do?"

Chu Hengzhi was silent for a moment and said, "Let's proceed according to the plan."

Su Zefeng nodded, and then said something to him. Seeing that his face looked really bad, he couldn't help but ask someone to ask a doctor to come and see him.

Even if I can't cure the Tongxin Gu, at least I can alleviate the pain.

……

The next day.

It was already noon when Hua Shu woke up. Rendong and Caiyue were guarding her bedside. They were all happy when they saw her wake up.

Caiyue even held Hua Shu's hand and said, "Master, you finally woke up. You almost scared me to death."

Hua Shu smiled at her and asked, "How are your injuries?"

Honeysuckle smiled and said, "My Lord, the wound you stabbed is very shallow. We are all fine now."

Hua Shu nodded and asked, "Did anything happen after I fainted?"

Caiyue shook her head and said, "Nothing happened, it's just that the emperor stayed here to guard you for one night."

When Hua Shu heard that Emperor Wu Ren had stayed with her all night, a hint of sneer flashed in her eyes.

Then she thought of something and asked, "Did the Third Prince find out who sent the assassin?"

Honeysuckle and Caiyue shook their heads at the same time: "Not yet."

Then Ren Dong suddenly thought of something, and said with a somewhat ugly expression: "However, I heard that the emperor suspected that the person last night was sent by my prince, because the third prince found that the person last night had a tattoo."

"And the tattoo was from a general's subordinate. But that general has always stood on the side of my prince. He was executed for treason a few years ago."

Hua Shu fell into deep thought after hearing this. She connected Rendong's words with what happened last night.

First, someone lured the emperor here, then two assassins were sent out, and finally it was discovered that the tattoo was related to Chu Hengzhi.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like this is aimed at Chu Hengzhi, but who would have the ability to set up such a big trap and include almost everyone in it?

Could it be the prince? But judging from Empress Liu's expression last night, it didn't seem like it.

Could it be Chu Yunxiao? Hua Shu thought about it and shook her head. If it was really him, what happened last night would not be so simple.

But if it wasn't them, who else could it be?

Just as she was lost in thought, Xiao Kangzi hurried in from outside and said, "Master, I received news that the emperor and your father are coming this way."
