The princess is the only one in Xuanmen, and she is reborn to lift the lid of the prince's coff

A beating in court? Li almost thought she had misheard.

Didn't I agree to take Chu Si back last night? Why did I have to be beaten with a stick?

Song Ming also frowned. After thirty strokes of the stick, he would probably lose half his life!

Song Chusi was very happy. He had spent the whole night in this cell. Not to mention Huang Xin, he really didn't want to stay in this environment any longer!

The cell was hot and smelly. Not only did the smell of blood and decay make him feel nauseous at all times, but there were also some whimpering sounds in the middle of the night. It was said that they were the souls of those who had died in prison and would come back every midnight.

Even if he was going to be beaten, as long as he could leave, he would be willing to do so!

Amidst one shrill scream after another, Song Chusi gritted his teeth and endured the thirty strokes of the cane.

After the torture, Huang Xin was still able to hold on a little, but Song Chusi turned pale and soon half-fainted.

……

In a relatively spacious and comfortable carriage, Song Chusi was lying with his skin torn and flesh exposed.

"I told you not to learn your lesson!" Mrs. Li kept wiping away tears. "From childhood to adulthood, you've never suffered so much! This time, I must teach you a lesson. You'll know what you can and can't do!"

Song Ming also said, "You should avoid hanging out with unlearned scoundrels like Huang Xin in the academy! Look at this time, it was clearly him who committed such a huge mistake, but you were the mastermind! I think it's Huang Zhiwang who wanted to protect his son and reduce his punishment, so he dragged you out to take the blame!"

Song Chusi was in a daze. His body was already in great pain, and he had to keep being nagged by Li and Song Ming all the way. He blocked his ears in annoyance.

For him, the biggest lesson from this imprisonment was what Huang Xin said in prison: Song Wu is not only scary, but also very evil!

In another carriage, Song Wu and Song Chuchu were both very satisfied.

For Song Chuchu, after this plan, Song Chusi would never again jump out to hinder Song Wu from participating in the selection of concubines, and she would have more chips to marry into the Marquis' Mansion.

But Song Wu was thinking that since Song Chusi had gone to great lengths to make the matter of selecting a concubine known to everyone, and now she had no choice but to go, wasn't this exactly what she wanted?

……

Song Chusi has become a well-behaved person since he was released from prison.

On one hand, Li sent two maids to serve him day and night, while on the other hand, she was busy preparing items for the selection of concubines for Song Wu and Song Chuchu.

After the incident involving Song Chusi, even the old lady ordered Song Wu to choose a concubine. How could she dare to say no?

However, Song Wu looked at the clothes, jewelry, rouge and perfume that Li had sent without even raising his eyelids.

She was just there to make up the numbers, she wasn't really being chosen from among thousands of flowers, so naturally she had no intention of coming out on top.

"Oh, my dear young lady!" Nanny Sun from Li's room came hurriedly again. "Why don't you hurry up and get ready? I came here to tell you that the prince's concubine selection date has been changed! It's not the eighth day of the first lunar month, it's been changed to tomorrow!"

The rocking chair under Song Wu paused and his eyes suddenly opened. This was not right.

In the previous life, Jiang Xing was seriously ill, so the date for selecting a concubine was temporarily changed.

But in this life, she treated people well, so why did she still change the time?

Seriously ill again?

The seriously ill Jiang Xing was lying on the couch in the palace at this time, frowning as he listened to the reports from Fei Xing and Xuan Ge.

He stared at the ceiling with a cold gaze, his hands clenched tightly into fists. "I was wondering why we couldn't find the murderer. It turns out to be such a good medical officer!"

Fei Xing's eyes were red with anger. "That bastard Doctor Xu is truly a disgrace to the very name of medicine! No wonder he was so helpless every time we returned to Beijing from Longchuan. He even prevented us from finding a doctor in the nearby towns. Turns out he's the one who poisoned us!"

Xuan Ge walked out without saying a word, sword in hand, but was immediately stopped by Jiang Xing, "Come back!"

Xuan Ge was indignant: "Your Majesty, let me go kill that bastard!"

"Not right!" Jiang Xing sat up and shook his head silently: "He is the man that Big Brother Lu gave me. No matter what, I have to ask Big Brother Lu if it was his will to let this man harm me!"

Feixing felt a little reluctant. The prince rushed to the Duke's Mansion as soon as he returned to Beijing, and took the risk of being exposed to tell the Lu family that General Lu Xuan was not dead.

Who could have thought that it would be discovered right away that the person who poisoned him to death was someone close to General Lu!

But he didn't want the prince to be sad, so he said something that didn't make sense, "General Lu must have meant it. After all, he was being hunted and had been displaced for years. It was the prince who saved him and helped him clean up the mess in Longchuan. He shouldn't do anything to repay kindness with hatred!"

Xuan Ge glanced at Fei Xing and said, "Don't forget, when we left Longchuan, General Lu personally told us to take Doctor Xu with us! He also said that Doctor Xu was an expert at healing wounds and asked us to look after the prince on the way!"

Looking at the two subordinates arguing, Jiang Xing felt a little confused.

He thought that what was waiting for him would be the undercurrent of the capital, but who knew that the fatal blow at the beginning would be dealt by his most trusted cousin.

Should he retreat, or take a gamble?

Now he is pretending to be sick, and people from all walks of life are eyeing the palace covetously, forcing him to send people to guard even the dog hole to prevent any spies from other families from entering.

However, this also makes my movements extremely inconvenient...

"Feixing." Jiang Xing stood up and looked out the window, playing with a jade cicada in his hand. "Have you completed the imperial decree to select a concubine that I asked my mother to revise?"

Fei Xing was stunned. What had happened to the prince? Wasn't he displeased with the Queen Mother's use of the guise of selecting a concubine to bring him good luck? This was the second time he'd paid attention today!

"Didn't you ask us to change it to tomorrow? The news has been passed on to everyone!"

Jiang Xing pondered for a moment, "That's good."

As long as he chooses a concubine, he can do more things in the name of the princess.

Seeing that Jiang Xing was a little anxious, Xuan Ge suddenly remembered something.

He hesitated for a while, and finally spoke: "Your Highness, I wonder if you remember what happened last year? General Lu came to Longchuan not long ago, and it is said that he was poisoned twice."

"Yes!" This sentence gave Jiang Xing a clue. He suddenly looked at Xuan Ge: "It is because he was cured of poisoning by this Doctor Xu twice, so I trust him so much."

Xuan Ge nodded, "But there is one detail that Your Highness may have forgotten, but I remember."

"Say!"

"General Lu was poisoned twice. The prince sent other doctors, but Doctor Xu cured him before they did."

Jiang Xing's frown deepened. "You mean, Brother Lu was also kept in the dark and was used by Doctor Xu?"

Xuan Ge nodded.

He patted Xuan Ge's shoulder and let out a long sigh of frustration: "This king also hopes so!"

"Xuan Ge!" He looked at him solemnly, "This king has specially sent you to interrogate Doctor Xu. You must get the truth out of him!"

"Yes!"

In the dark room of the palace, Xuan Ge interrogated the doctor for half the night, but Doctor Xu said nothing.

Jiang Xing didn't want to wait any longer, so he sent Fei Xing to pass on the message: "Torture him!"

Accompanied by the sound of whips one after another, blood splattered in the dark room soon.

Doctor Xu opened his mouth in a hoarse voice, and Xuan Ge immediately stepped forward.

But there was a slight "bang" sound, and he bit the poison sac in his mouth!

Xuan Ge was as fast as lightning. He immediately pinched his jaw tightly to prevent him from swallowing the poison, but he still couldn't stop him. In just a moment, the man died.

Feixing was guarding the door. When he saw Xuan Ge coming out dejectedly, his heart sank immediately.

He pushed Xuan Ge aside and rushed in, and at a glance he saw a corpse tied to a wooden pillar, with a messy body and multiple scars.

"It's over." He stared at the corpse in front of him absentmindedly, his lips trembling. "The most important clue was lost so quickly."

Feixing was planning to go back and report to the prince, but just as he took two steps outside and turned back, he was suddenly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

He should have seen this person before!

No, to be precise, I saw it three years ago!
