Jiang Siyao immediately sat back on the ground, her face pale and her eyes dim.

After sitting paralyzed for a moment, she suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly: "Where is Tao'er? Where is Tao'er? She knows the whole story of this matter, and she can definitely testify for me and Jinglang. Things are not what Dad heard."

With a "pa!" sound, Jiang Siyao was slapped hard on the other side of her face again.

Duke Wu was so angry that he was shaking all over and could hardly lift his hands. In just that moment, he seemed to have aged ten years.

"Don't you want to know where Tao'er is? Your father will tell you, so please listen carefully."

"She was hung from a beam, her blood was drained, her skin was peeled off, her body was thrown into a mass grave, and her skin was made into a beauty fan. Did you hear that?"

Duke Wu explained it clearly, and Jiang Siyao felt cold all over after hearing it.

She looked behind her for confirmation at Mother Li, who nodded at her.

Jiang Siyao trembled and fell backwards, and Mother Li quickly hugged her.

"You think you killed a beast? Humph!" Duke Wu thought of Xuanyuan Che's actions in the hall just now: "That beast is Xuanyuan Che's Achilles' heel. You didn't die because of your mother's blessing in heaven. If it happens again, no one can save you."

Jiang Siyao let out a cry and fainted from fright.

Mother Li looked at Duke Wu at a loss. Duke Wu waved his hand with a headache and told her to take good care of the child. Then he stopped the carriage and rode away on his horse.

Outside Chaoyang Palace, Xuechen was dragged over by Zhuixue, grabbing her collar.

If someone else dared to drag Xue Chen like this, even if he got close to someone, he would definitely suffer from drug torture.

But when it comes to Zhuixue, it's a different story.

Xuechen, who was being dragged along, was not displeased at all. Instead, he smiled and reminded Zhuixue to slow down and be careful with his step to avoid falling.

Upon seeing this, the young palace maids and eunuchs along the way immediately bent their waists and stepped back, for fear of hearing or seeing something they shouldn't and getting into trouble.

When they arrived at Chaoyang Palace, Zhuixue threw the person into the hall and turned to leave.

Xue Chen staggered forward a few steps, steadied himself, and quickly caught up with her, standing in front of her.

Just as he smiled and before he could open his mouth, Zhuixue raised his long legs and kicked Xuechen in the crotch without any hesitation.

Xue Chen's face turned pale in an instant. He clamped his legs together, covered his legs with his hands. His handsome face was twisted into a ball. He wanted to scream but couldn't make a sound because of the pain.

Zhuixue succeeded and vented his anger. He felt much better and left with a snort and a glare.

When Zhuiying came out, he saw Xuechen spinning around in front of the palace gate in an extremely indecent posture. Zhuiying said teasingly, "I usually ask Master Xue to be more restrained, but now Taohua is here to settle the score."

Xue Chen leaned against the pillar, bent over and pointed at him, gritting his teeth, "Don't gloat over my misfortune here, come and help me quickly, Your Highness will be in trouble if you wait too long."

Zhuiying shook his head in disapproval: "Master Xue is wrong. If Your Highness gets impatient, it will be you who will suffer, not me."

Seeing that he had no intention of helping her, Xue Chen pointed at him and gritted his teeth, wanting to speak, but the pain in his body was too great, so he had to endure it and threw out three words: "Five bottles."

"Ten bottles."

Zhuiying stood on the stairs with a long sword in his hand so that he could look at him leisurely.

"Eight bottles." Xue Chen's heart was bleeding.

"Fifteen bottles." Zhuiying didn't buy it.

Xue Chen wanted to call him shameless, but when the words came to her lips she said: "Okay!"

Zhuiying went up to help the man with a smile, but Xuechen kept scolding him for taking advantage of someone in distress and being extremely shameless.

Zhuiying didn't get angry but laughed instead. After all, who can go against good things?

Fifteen bottles of Xuechen's special healing medicine could save him thousands of taels of real money. Such an opportunity is rare, and only a fool would refuse it.

After entering the hall, Xue Chen saw from afar someone with a sullen face sitting behind the desk.

I glanced into his arms and, sure enough, there was a mass of white hair.

He limped over and was about to complain, but when Xuanyuan Che raised his eyes, he immediately swallowed his complaints back into his stomach and his expression became serious.

"What poison?"

"Heart-Splitting Powder."

Xue Chen's pupils shrank, and he took out a folding fan from his sleeve and tapped his palm: "This poison is not easy to cure, when was it administered?"

Xuanyuan Che looked at Mei Susu in his arms: "Yesterday."

"Have you caught him? Since they drugged him, they must have an antidote."

Xuanyuan Che looked at him coldly, the meaning was self-evident.

Xue Chen was also troubled by this: "If you ask me, the people who poisoned are none other than your palace. It would be faster to arrest and interrogate them than you can investigate."

"can."

As soon as Xuanyuan Che uttered the word "OK", the exclamations of the young palace maids were heard outside the palace.

Xue Chen was surprised. He was just joking, but this guy actually wanted to interrogate these servants.

There were thousands of servants in this huge East Palace, but by the time they were interrogated, their time was up.

"I want to take your pulse."

As the name suggests, Liexinsan is a poison that will cause the heart and spleen of the poisoned person to break.

Although this poison is powerful, it is not a strong poison. Instead, it is a chronic poison. People who are poisoned by Liexin Powder will slowly develop symptoms such as chest pain and severe abdominal pain over time, and then lose their appetite, become listless, and finally die from heartache.

"If the thief really put poison in your little pet and then murdered you, then you must have been poisoned by now. If I take your pulse now, I may be able to find some clues."

But Xuanyuan Che looked at him expressionlessly, and then said, "It's okay, come over and take a look at Su Su first."

Xue Chen could understand why Xuanyuan Che doted on Susu on a daily basis, but at such a critical moment, he was a little annoyed that Xuanyuan Che still put his first attention on a cat.

"This poison is extraordinary. Your Highness should worry about your own health now."

Mei Susu was unhappy when she heard this. Why were everyone so picky with her today?

One told someone to throw her out, and the other implied that Xuanyuan Che was too doting on her.

She has become the bad person, which is really unfair.

"If I feel uncomfortable, I can speak, but Susu can't speak. If she is in pain or uncomfortable, she won't tell me. Since I raised her, I must pay attention to her."

Mei Susu was shocked by these words and looked at Xuanyuan Che in surprise. She got goosebumps all over her body, but her impression of Xuanyuan Che changed again.

No matter how outsiders talked about him, or how many people he had killed, Mei Susu believed at this moment that all the people he killed deserved to die. At least Xuanyuan Che was definitely not a cruel and heartless person.

Xue Chen didn't react much. What he said just now was completely said in anger. Now that he calmed down, he didn't say much.

How could Su Su be just an ordinary thing to Xuanyuan Che?

Outsiders may not know, but his good friend must know it. But it is precisely because he is his good friend that he is angry that he does not take his own body seriously.

Xue Chen stepped forward and said, "In that case, let me take a look at your beloved pet first."

Xuanyuan Che did not object and lifted Mei Susu up a little so that Xue Chen could see her better.

"Put it on the table so it's clearer." Xue Chen felt uncomfortable and said.

Xuanyuan Che did not move, but only replied coldly: "Can I take a look?"

These four seemingly simple words sent a chill down Xuechen's spine.

"Yes, of course I can. They are all masters. I am a weak official. I can let them bully me and not even say a word. It's so sad and pitiful."

His tone was mournful and miserable, just like a resentful woman who was abandoned by a heartless man.

This scene made Mei Susu almost laugh out loud, but she forced herself to hold it back. She couldn't laugh, or else she would be treated as a monster, tied up with a hemp rope and burned to death.
