Xiao Heng was silent for a long while, and did not say anything. Looking at Su Yuejian's scrutinizing eyes, he lowered his eyes slightly, like a child who had done something wrong, and his tone was a little aggrieved.

"Qi Yuan gave him an antidote pill."

Xuan Yu, who was driving, nearly fell out of the car when he heard this. The prince could tell lies without blushing or feeling nervous!

Su Yuejian also didn't believe it, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Really?"

"I didn't know that Doctor Qi was even more skilled than the prince and could actually snatch the pill from the prince."

Xiao Heng pursed his lips and was about to say something else.

Su Yuejian raised her hand. "Alright, take one pill at a time. Fortunately, the pill works. If there is no clear witness today, I'm afraid it will take a lot more time to get out. It's not a loss."

Xiao Heng curled his fingers slightly, feeling unwilling and depressed. He reached out to pull the person into his arms, but Su Yuejian pushed him away.

Su Yuejian looked at him with her arms crossed, her face a little puffed up. Xiao Heng was stunned. Sure enough, she was still angry.

He already knew how precious the pill was, and if he had no other choice, he would not feed it to such a dead person.

I was really too impulsive. If I had known earlier, I should have just massacred everyone like I did in my previous life.

But if that happens, if he still doesn't make it and she's left alone, who can protect her...

Xiao Heng was frowning and confused, feeling a bit stuck when he heard Su Yuejian's voice.

"Why aren't you wearing the medicine bag I gave you?"

Su Yuejian took a closer look. He was wearing a dark satin robe with a white jade belt around his waist. There were no ornaments hanging around his waist.

Xiao Heng looked up blankly, his eyes showing a rare flustered look. A trace of guilt flashed across his face, and he quickly lowered his eyes.

Su Yuejian snorted coldly, "Even if you don't tell me, I know that the medicine bag is lost."

Xiao Heng: .... "Zhao..."

"Don't do this!"

Raising his hand to refuse, Su Yuejian turned her head away, interrupting the coquettish spell he had been planning for a long time.

Although she had come up with a countermeasure to deal with the medicine bag in the palace today, she was still very angry that Xiao Heng did not tell her!

Xiao Heng didn't know that Qin Wei had taken out the medicine bag as evidence today. After all, when he went there, the medicine bag had already been eaten by Cui Yingyu.

Seeing her back full of anger, he rubbed the corner of his robe with his hand hanging at his side, thinking for a long time.

Xiao Heng quietly moved in front of her, raised his hand and gently tugged at the corner of her clothes, "Zhao Zhao..."

Seeing that Su Yue ignored him, she pulled back the corner of her clothes and sat further forward, "Hmph!"

Xiao Heng followed closely and said coaxingly with lowered eyebrows, "Poison it."

Su Yuejian raised her eyebrows.

"what?"

Seeing that she really did react, Xiao Heng couldn't help but chuckle. Sure enough, the only way to let her vent her anger was to poison her.

Seeing that he could still laugh, Su Yuejian became even angrier, "Of course I have to! When I get my box of poison back tomorrow, I'll make you eat them all!"

After saying that, he raised his chin, held his head high and pouted.

Xiao Heng reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her waist tightly. Su Yuejian couldn't even move to escape.

"That would be great." Xiao Heng kissed her hair lightly, "Thank you, Lord Yama, for the poison."

Su Yuejian puffed up her cheeks and pulled his face in dissatisfaction, "You are so confident!"

Xiao Heng's lips curled up into a smile. "Confident and fearless" were good words.

Only she, his Zhao Zhao, can make him feel fearless.

"If you had told me earlier that the medicine bag was lost, I wouldn't have been unprepared today and almost been convicted!"

Seeing the doubt in Xiao Heng's eyes, Su Yuejian told him that Qin Wei took out the medicine bag in the palace today. Xiao Heng's eyes turned cold instantly. When he heard that Cui Yingyu had eaten up the medicine bag in court, he was shocked, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Eaten? That was made by Su Yuejian himself. He had been looking for it for a long time but couldn't find it. That crazy woman had actually torn it into pieces.

Thinking of how Cui Yingyu grabbed Su Yuejian and refused to let go in the palace today, his eyes became even darker.

Su Yuejian rested her chin on her hand as she thought about today's events. "It stands to reason that Prince Gong has always been secretly supporting Du Guai. Although Prince Gong's power is not as great as before, the emperor's attitude towards him has not changed. He will eventually rise again. Why would Du Guai suddenly kill this patron?"

"Prince Gong's power has long been destroyed." Xiao Heng lowered his eyes. "Without the Cui family's troops, without the Xie family's support, and without the influence in the martial arts world, plus a broken leg, he has already lost this battle."

Su Yuejian frowned. She knew everything else, but...

"The support of the Xie family?"

Xiao Heng casually pinched and played with her hands, but when he looked closely he found many tiny red marks on her hands, which should be the injuries left by carving the longevity lock in the past two days. He felt distressed.

He took out a bottle of ointment from the small drawer under the coffee table and applied it carefully to her.

"Do you have these in your carriage?"

Su Yuejian picked up the ointment and smelled it. It had a strong medicinal fragrance and was of top quality.

"Qi Yuan likes to do these things when he has nothing to do." Xiao Heng said calmly.

Outside, Xuan Yu's hands were shaking as he drove. Wasn't it you, old man, who forced him to do this every day? He wanted to remove the scar on the princess's arm, but he was also worried that if the princess got injured in the future, it would be difficult to stop the bleeding.

Every day, he asked the shadow guard to supervise Qi Yuan in the pharmacy, researching those ointments for stopping bleeding and removing scars, and he still felt that it was not enough even after handing over more than a dozen bottles.

Doctor Qi was forced to cry and complain to the sky, but he still liked to do these things!

I couldn't help but sigh, Doctor Qi has to take so many blames every day, no wonder he doesn't grow tall, the prince's brotherhood is too strong!

Su Yuejian nodded. This ointment smelled like a unique recipe from an ancient book. Some of the medicinal ingredients were hard to come by. She just glanced at the small drawer full of ointment.

She wouldn't have wasted those precious herbs to make scar cream, and would have used them to refine poisons and antidotes. It's true that the heir of the Medical Valley is generous! So generous!

"Did you just mention the Xie family?"

Xiao Heng put away the ointment and looked up at her, "The third branch of the Xie family has secretly hooked up with Prince Gong."

"Xie Jiusi was attacked that day, and the Third House and Prince Gong were responsible."

Su Yue was surprised. "Xie Tingwei, the third branch of the Xie family?"

Although Xie Jiusi is the head of the family, there are many people who are eyeing him. Earlier, Prince Gong extended an olive branch to Xie Jiusi but was rejected. He thought that there was no way out for him in the Xie family. Unexpectedly, someone from the third house got the letter and passed it on privately, and the two of them had the same idea.

Xiao Heng nodded, "Prince Gong promised the Third House the high position of the head of a prestigious family. The Third House wanted to use his help to get rid of Xie Jiusi and completely take control of the Xie family."

Su Yuejian nodded slightly. Now she understood a little, "No wonder Du Laoguai's traces are always near Yanzhou, but he always manages to escape. Yanzhou is close to Chenliu, the ancestral land of the Xie family. Someone is secretly helping him."

"good."

"What does it mean without the Xie family's support?"

"Xie Tingwei is dead." Xiao Heng said calmly, "Old Master Xie personally watched him being beaten to death."

Su Yuejian's eyes were full of shock and confusion.

Xiao Heng patiently explained, "The Xie family isn't a prosperous one, but fortunately, they have produced two outstanding talents: Xie Jiusi from the eldest branch and Xie Qingrun from the second branch. Unfortunately, Xie Qingrun was born weak and nearly died at an early age. It was Princess Xiangxue's Tianxin Lotus that saved him, but it only saved half of his life. It's not easy for him to survive until now."

Xiao Heng's ears twitched slightly, he lifted Su Yuejian up and hugged her tighter.

Xuan Yu also heard the strange noises coming from the surroundings, and immediately tightened the reins vigilantly and whipped the horse to speed up.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Su Yue's brows turned cold. Xiao Heng took away her hand that was about to lift the curtain. Outside, weapons clashed and the sound of fierce fighting continued to be heard.

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows and smiled at her, still looking relaxed, and continued to talk to her about the previous topic slowly and unhurriedly.
