A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Chu Junye was imprisoned and no one was allowed to enter or leave the mansion, so he could do nothing now. He had been thinking in the study about how to break the deadlock!

Yi Duoer took medicine last night and gradually woke up. Qiu Chan touched her forehead and found that she no longer had a fever.

But Yi Duo'er's face was still sick. She looked at Qiu Chan and asked, "How long have I been sleeping?"

Qiu Chan told her the whole story, which reminded Yi Duoer that it might be yesterday when she was chased by someone and sweated all over, and then took a cold shower, so she caught a cold.

"Cough cough..."

Yi Duoer coughed and gargled twice, and Qiu Chan immediately helped her lie down. "Hurry up and lie down. You're not fully recovered yet. You still need to rest well! I don't know what the master is doing. There's no response to the messages I sent!"

Yi Duo'er had already laid down, but when she heard her words, she instantly flew into a rage and quickly sat up. She said to Qiu Channu, "Why did you tell him that I was sick? You..."

Yi Duo'er's weak roar made Qiu Chan a little confused. She knew the purpose of her being with Yi Duo'er, so why did she react so strongly? But what she didn't know was that Yi Duo'er had already drawn a clear line between herself and Chu Jingchen!

"Okay, okay, okay, I was wrong! Lie down first and don't get excited!"

Qiu Chan had been trying to appease Yi Duoer. In fact, after being by her side for so long, she could feel that Yi Duoer truly treated her as a friend, not a slave! Unlike other masters who were high and mighty and treated their slaves as less than human, in her heart, Yi Duoer was already very important.

Seeing that she was very emotional, Qiu Chan said softly, "I won't tell anyone about your affairs from now on. I'll go get the medicine! Lie down first!"

Yi Duo'er calmed down at this moment, closed her eyes and rested, while Yu Shu on the other side was holding a packet of unknown medicine powder. His face was hesitant!

Yu Shu's memories——

Last time at the racecourse,

Zhu Qingxue found Yu Shu and thanked her for speaking up to help her out. Then she took out a jade bracelet of excellent quality and handed it to her. Yu Shu didn't dare to accept it and refused. Zhu Qingxue smiled and said:

"Yushu, take it. I know you're helping me on purpose. Do you like the Regent?"

Her words successfully exposed Yu Shu's thoughts. Not saying anything meant she agreed. She looked embarrassed and ashamed. Her status was not even qualified to be the regent's concubine!

After Zhu Qingxue pretended to comfort her, she promised her that as long as she successfully married Chu Junye and became a princess, she would have a way to make Yu Shu become Chu Jingchen's concubine!

Zhu Qingxue's promise moved Yu Shu, and just like that, they naturally colluded with each other. She secretly reported to Zhu Qingxue all the big and small things about Yi Duoer and Chu Junye!

Dividing line————————

Just last night, after Yu Shu conveyed Chu Junye's caring attitude towards Yi Duoer to Zhu Qingxue, she soon received a bottle of chronic poison and was asked to put it in Yi Duoer's medicine.

At the beginning, Yu Shu was still hesitant, but was threatened by Zhu Qingxue's maid. Then she thought, as long as Yi Duoer died and Zhu Qingxue took the throne of princess, she could also become the regent's concubine?

Dividing line——————————

Yu Shu withdrew his thoughts,

She still sprinkled the powder in her hand into the medicine, narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, and seemed to reveal a hint of cruelty. She whispered, "Miss, don't blame me. Since you don't want glory and wealth, then go first. Yu Shu will enjoy it for you!"

"Is the princess's medicine ready?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Chan's voice rang out from behind, frightening Yu Shu so much that she quickly put the paper into her sleeve. She replied intermittently that she was done.

Seeing her reckless behavior, Qiu Chan thought she was careless and didn't think about it. He muttered, "You are so reckless," and took the medicine away.

Yu Shu looked at her with a frightened heart, and she had already walked away. He reached out his hand and touched his chest, trying to calm himself down.

"Miss, get up and take your medicine!"

Qiu Chan helped Yi Duoer up and placed a pillow on the headboard so that she could lean on it and feel more comfortable. Yi Duoer's mouth pursed, revealing a wronged expression! She looked at Qiu Chan with the attitude of a sick beauty. She said in a coquettish tone:

"Can I not drink it? I don't need to take medicine. I'll be fine too."

Qiu Chan was just like last time. He would not let her do what she wanted. He would do whatever she wanted, but since she was sick, he could not let her do what she wanted. He said in a firm tone:

"You must finish drinking it. You must know that you are no match for me. I promise you, when you get better, I will teach you Qinggong!"

Yi Duoer curled her lips, revealing a charming smile, and said mischievously, "That's more like it!"

Then he took the medicine bowl, took a deep breath and drank it all in one gulp, "Wow...why does the medicine taste so weird this time!"

Neither of them knew that this time the medicine had been mixed with a chronic poison. Qiu Chan immediately handed her some candy, which calmed Yi Duoer down.

Prince Chen’s Mansion,

"Heng Wangye, my prince is not seeing anyone for the time being, you should go back first!"

Han Bo stopped Chu Junheng from going to the study. Chu Junheng could only helplessly shout anxiously, "Uncle, please save my third brother! He must have been wronged. Uncle!"

The two were arguing outside. At this moment, the door was opened and Chu Jingchen came out in a dark blue robe. His handsome face had an imperceptible sense of fatigue on it as he slowly walked over.

Chu Junheng showed a happy expression on his face, and immediately ran to Chu Jingchen and said anxiously: "Uncle, please help my third brother, he must be wronged."

"It doesn't matter whether it's unfair or not. Someone is plotting this, and it's useless for you to come to me!"

Chu Junheng was puzzled and wanted to continue asking, but Chu Jingchen saw his anxious expression and continued, "I will find out the truth. You don't have to worry about this matter. You can go back first!"

Chu Junheng felt relieved when he heard that he would handle the matter, so he left in a hurry. Qi Feng picked up his fan and started to act pretentiously. He said casually:

"As soon as the Crown Prince of Dongli arrived in Beijing, this incident happened! Do you think this matter is related to him?"

Chu Jingchen's face was expressionless, but his sinister eyes looked very sharp. He said coldly:

"He came to the capital this time to stir up unrest and get the princes to fight. His main purpose is to provoke a dispute between Qi Dynasty and Ying Jue. Wei State is a small country to the north of Dongli State, but it has a large population and its combat power cannot be underestimated. So, send people to Wei State to spread rumors that Dongli State's cavalry are secretly training outside his Wei State border."

Qi Feng listened to his plan and immediately did it without delay. Chu Jingchen turned to ask Han Bai if Qiu Chan had sent back any news. His words immediately shocked Han Bai!

He has already burned the note. If he knew about it, wouldn't he be... Thinking of this, Han Bo subconsciously said that there was no news!

Chu Jingchen felt a bitter feeling in his heart, but then he thought, since there's no news, it proves Duo'er is eating and sleeping well! However, he's the only one in this deep pain. He must sneak into the Ye Palace to see her tonight. He wants to ask her why she suddenly distanced herself from him! Otherwise, he'll go crazy.

Han Bai's back was already cold at this moment, and he couldn't control his panic. He thought his master wouldn't care about Yi Duoer, so he tore up the note in order not to disturb his master.
