In just one month, Chu Jing heard that Xie Tingxuan had presented several Taoist alchemists to the emperor.

The Taoist priest made the first batch of elixirs for the emperor, and his long-standing illness was cured immediately.

His face was rosy and he looked lively and energetic, even when he went to the harem to favor the beauties at night, he was more energetic.

The emperor was very happy. He kept the Taoists and praised the prince's filial piety.

Taoist priest?

When Chu Jing heard the news, he didn't think Xie Tingxuan wanted his father to get better, but thought Xie Tingxuan wanted to send his father away quickly.

Throughout history, all the elixirs refined by Taoist priests were deadly poisons.

Chu Jing also asked Xie Qiheng about the Taoist priests, "I heard that the prince presented several Taoist priests to the emperor?"

Xie Qiheng nodded, seemingly not thinking there was anything wrong with Xie Tingxuan presenting the Taoist priests. "Yes, those Taoist priests cured the emperor, and the emperor was very happy. He even praised the prince highly in the court today."

"I heard that those Taoist priests can also refine elixirs that can prolong life. That's amazing! Who doesn't want to be immortal? Then I can be with Xiaojing forever."

Chu Jing heard Xie Qiheng's longing tone and immediately poured cold water on him, "Fool, what are you thinking! Those pills are poisonous! They are life-threatening. Taking those pills will not only not prolong your life, but will make you die early!"

"You must not touch those things! Otherwise I will be so bored that I will have to keep some young and strong gigolos to entertain me."

Xie Qiheng was a little surprised that Chu Jing knew these inside stories.

Just as I was about to praise Chu Jing for his erudition, I heard Chu Jing's next sentence.

Xie Qiheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Xiaojing, I'm still young, and you're already thinking about other young pretty boys."

"Am I not young enough, or am I not strong enough?"

Chu Jing: “!!!”

Is this the point? !

Chu Jing pinched Xie Qiheng's face and emphasized again: "I said you are not allowed to touch those pills!"

"Those Taoist priests are all liars. They're not good at refining medicine, but they're probably good at making explosives."

Many people failed to make the elixir.

Xie Qiheng nodded obediently, hugging the one in his arms and nuzzling him, "I understand. I'll listen to everything Xiaojing says. I will definitely not touch those pills, let alone go to those Taoist priests."

Just kidding, he was the one who got those Taoists here.

The purpose is to poison that old guy.

Of course he wouldn't touch those pills. He still wanted to be with his Xiao Jing for a long time.

Thinking of Prince Xie Tingxuan.

How can it be possible to just make his leg lame?

Xie Tingxuan had always been eyeing Xiaojing, and had secretly plotted against him and Xiaojing more than once.

Besides... I have to let that old guy taste the pain of losing his son!

The things that Xie Qiheng did secretly were never brought to Chu Jing's sight, and were not even put where Chu Jing could see them.

He never dared to let his little Jing notice this.

If Xiao Jing knew about this, he would definitely think that I was cruel and ruthless, and had evil ambitions.

Xie Qiheng didn't dare let Chu Jing know, for fear that Chu Jing would hate him and abandon him after knowing it.

Of course, Father Xia knew all this.

Father Xia first got hold of Xie Qiheng's evidence during last year's spring collection.

Xie Qiheng originally wanted to find an excuse to get away with it, but when he saw Xia's father, he knew he couldn't fool him.

Rather than telling lies and ruining Mr. Xia’s impression of you, it’s better to impress him with your sincerity.

Of course, it was mainly because of Xiaojing that Xia's father finally gave in and agreed to let Xiaojing marry him.

Xiaojing liked him, so he was able to marry Xiaojing so smoothly.

Xie Qiheng's eyes became extremely dark, and his hands around Chu Jing tightened unconsciously, as if he was afraid that the person would run away.

He came to the capital to seek revenge on the emperor, but meeting Xiaojing was an accident.

He liked this accident, but was extremely afraid of losing this beautiful accident.

In order to avoid being discovered by Chu Jing, all his actions had to become more secretive. Fortunately, Xia's father was willing to help him.

The Spring Festival is approaching.

Chu Jing returned to Xia Mansion more often.

When she had nothing to do, Chu Jing would run back to the Xia Mansion, and wait until Xie Qiheng finished his official business and came to the Xia Mansion for dinner, and then the two would go back to the Chengwang Mansion together.

Father Xia came back very early that day, and Xie Qiheng had not come yet.

When Chu Jing heard that Xia's father had returned, he hurried out from Xia's mother's side and went to Xia's father's study.

She still didn't find any flaws in Xie Qiheng, but it was precisely because there were no flaws that Chu Jing felt that there was a problem.

The prince is already disabled and the emperor is on the road to death.

It is impossible that there is no one behind all this.

And since someone is pushing all this, it is impossible for Xia's father, as the Grand Marshal, to know nothing about it.

But both Xia's father and Xie Qiheng kept their mouths shut to her and did not let her know a single word.

What does this mean? It means that they are the ones pushing behind the scenes!

By this time the sky was beginning to darken and a light snow was falling.

Chu Jing, wearing a thick fox fur cloak, came to the door of the study. The servant lifted the curtain and Chu Jing entered the room. There was a charcoal fire burning in the room, and it was warm. She took off the cloak and asked the servants to go down.

"Dad, I have something to ask you."

As soon as Father Xia saw Chu Jing had asked everyone to leave, he knew that what Chu Jing wanted to ask was not a trivial matter.

At the same time, I had some expectations in my mind and guessed a few points.

Father Xia put down the documents in his hand, sat up straight and said, "What does Xiaojing want to ask?"

Chu Jing didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "What do Daddy and Ah Heng want to do?"

Afraid that Mr. Xia would pretend not to understand, Chu Jing added something.

"Didn't Daddy say before that treason will bring eternal infamy?"

Father Xia put down his hands from the table, clasped them in front of him and put them in his sleeves. He thought for a while, as if considering how to answer.

After a while, he finally spoke, "Xiao Jing, Daddy is not plotting a rebellion, there will be no war, and the people will not suffer because of it."

Everything that Chu Jing was originally unsure about was confirmed by Xia's father's words.

However, Father Xia and Xie Qiheng were planning something behind her back that she didn't know about.

Chu Jing didn't understand why Father Xia would follow Xie Qiheng in rebellion, "Why?"

Father Xia sighed, "I did all this for the good of the Xia family. That person has been wary of the Xia family for a long time. As long as there is a chance, he will find a way to eradicate the Xia family."

"Dad had no choice but to do this."

"Xiao Jing, do you think Daddy is wrong to do this?"
