Back at Prince Rui's mansion, the emperor sat on the throne, Prince Rui knelt below with a cold face, not saying a word, and the others stood aside, not daring to breathe.

"You want to go with her?"

Prince Rui didn't want to talk.

"I know you've been away from the throne since you were little, and you could even say you've been avoiding it. But, Cang Mo, do you know? If you're in the royal family and want to protect the one you love, it's impossible for a prince to do so alone."

"Back then, I was just as naive as you, thinking that the position of a prince would protect her. But in the end, she died, and the throne is still mine. Revenge cannot change the fact that she is dead. Think it over for yourself."

Prince Rui snorted coldly, "I wanted to protect her, but she wouldn't give me the chance. Her mind was full of Qiao Sheng. She would rather sacrifice her own life to save him."

The emperor looked at Prince Rui coldly. He knew that his son had suffered a heavy blow this time.

Seeing his master like this, Lin Feng thought of what he said last night. He walked to the foot of King Rui and knelt down, "Master, things are not what you think."

"Last night, I asked Miss Chu why she was so determined to save Mr. Qiao, even at the cost of her own life."

Prince Rui knelt on the ground, still silent, with his head lowered. He looked unconcerned, but his clenched fists revealed his nervousness at the moment.

"Master, Miss Chu said that Young Master Qiao was stabbed by the sword in order to save her. She has the responsibility to save him."

"She is a little girl who knows how to repay her gratitude." The emperor nodded continuously, and it seemed that he had a much better impression of Chu Ci.

"Master, there is actually another reason. Miss Chu said that Master Chu Zhen and Master Qiao were both poisoned. As long as we can find the medicinal herbs, we can also cure the poison in Master Chu."

"Miss Chu also said that Master Chu is the only relative in the world who treats her well."

Prince Rui looked at Lin Feng in surprise and reached out to grab Lin Feng's collar. "Why are you saying this now?"

Lin Feng pointed at Shangguan Xuan next to him and said, "This servant wanted to say something, but Master Shangguan said that you should be alone for a while. This servant thought of saying it this morning, but who knew that Miss Chu had already left this morning."

The more Lin Feng spoke, the lower his voice became, and his heart became more and more uneasy. He kept glancing at Shangguan Xuan with his eyes.

King Rui stood up suddenly, grabbed Lin Feng's neck, and tightened his hands. He stared at Lin Feng with sharp eyes. At this time, Lin Feng had already felt the call of death.

The emperor coughed heavily a few times, "Okay, let go, he has been following you since he was a child, you really want to kill him."

Cang Mo threw Lin Feng heavily to the side, and Lin Feng fell on the table, smashing the entire table into pieces.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Step back."

Lin Feng glanced at King Rui, and seeing that his master had no objection, he limped out.

Prince Rui looked at Shangguan Xuan who was still kneeling beside him. Shangguan Xuan waved his hands repeatedly, "No, I don't know either. It's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

Shangguan Xuan explained while backing away until he saw Prince Rui's tightly clenched fists. Shangguan Xuan didn't care that the emperor was sitting above him and ran away.

The emperor sighed and shook his head. Everything had been explained clearly up to this point, but the girl was gone. It was really—

"Mo'er, from this incident, we can see that Miss Chu's backstory is not peaceful. Chu Zhen is the eldest son of the Chu family, yet he was framed and poisoned for such a long time. Chu Ci was also framed many times, including this assassination attempt."

"This proves that the Chu family is not simple. Perhaps you don't know yet, but the Chu family has a very hidden secret. Even Miss Chu herself is not as simple as you see."

"Let's think carefully about what we said."

After the emperor finished speaking, he left immediately, leaving Prince Rui still standing there looking towards the cliff.

Were Chu Zhen and Qiao Sheng poisoned by the same poison? Who was behind this? Who wanted to kill Chu Ci?

"Lin Feng, come here."

Lin Feng was startled and stumbled in. When he saw King Rui, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

Prince Rui stood up and approached Lin Feng step by step. When the two men were face to face, Prince Rui stopped and said, "Go and find out who wants to kill them. If you can't find out, I will twist your head off alive and kick it like a ball. Get out of here."

"This servant will leave immediately and investigate immediately. I must use the shortest possible time to thoroughly and thoroughly investigate this matter and restore the entire matter so that the master can punish the murderer according to the law and avenge Miss Chu."

Lin Feng raised his hands, swore, and was just short of writing a letter of guarantee.

After saying that, Lin Feng ran away.

Prince Rui looked towards the cliff and thought about Chu Ci jumping down alone. Was she really doing it just to save Chu Zhen?

Or is it that Qiao Sheng is also among those she must save? What about him?

Prince Rui stood there in a daze for a long time, and Yunsheng next to him thought that he was about to weave a spider web.

Prince Rui walked to the edge of the cliff, and Yun Sheng's heart beat faster as he stared at Prince Rui.

He looked down at the cliff and saw thick clouds and fog. He had no idea what was going on down there.

No one who went in could come out.

At the last moment before she jumped, she told her to wait for him, but could she come back?

King Rui sat on the edge of the cliff, looking at the rope tied to the tree on the ground, paying attention to the movement of the rope at all times.

Prince Rui looked at Yunsheng beside him and said, "Go and get all the memorials. And find someone to set up a tent here. I'm going to stay here for a few days."

Yunsheng wanted to persuade him again, but when he saw his master's serious look, he nodded and turned to do it.

King Rui pressed his temples and began to formally set up camp on the edge of the cliff.

Chu Ci rolled down from the cliff, pulled himself up, and using his coolness and agility, he slowly climbed down.

After climbing a few steps, she looked up worriedly, afraid that the emperor would not be able to control him and would really jump down.

In fact, she was lost for a period of time when she was a child. During that period, it was very common for her to follow her master to climb mountains, wade through water, and collect medicinal herbs.

Although that period was very tiring, it was one of the few happiest days for her. Her master and senior brothers really treated her as family.

If there was anything delicious, she would eat it first. When she was tired, her senior brother would carry her on his back. She didn't want to treat them as relatives. She felt that the word "relatives" was an insult to them.

Chu Ci climbed down slowly. She didn't know how long she had been climbing. She felt that she could not hold on any longer and discovered a serious problem: the rope had ended.

But it must be very far from the ground, because she couldn't see it at all.
