"Chu Shi is here, come quickly and meet the prince and princess!" Song Ming greeted him hurriedly when he saw Song Chu Shi coming.

When Song Chushi saw Lu Xuan and Jiang Xing sitting at the top, he felt a little reluctant.

But seeing Jiang Xing's solemn expression, he felt a little scared and bowed with his head lowered.

Jiang Xing raised his eyes with a cold brow: "Are you Song Chushi?"

"Yes, Your Highness! I am Song Chushi!" A faint smile appeared on his slightly plump face, and he looked at Jiang Xing with a somewhat flattering expression.

Jiang Xing raised his eyebrows. "I wonder if Master Song knows someone named Xu Xinglin?"

Song Chushi frowned and thought for a moment, then slapped his forehead and said, "Oh! I know him!"

In order to please Jiang Xing, he repeated: "Your Majesty, I know him!"

Jiang Xing took a sip of tea and looked at him coldly: "Did you introduce this person to the Third Young Master of the Lu Family?"

"Yes, yes!" Song Chushi smiled. "At that time, I saw that this man was very smart and had some medical skills, so I recommended him to Lu Xiao! But that was a few years ago!"

He scratched his head. "If the prince hadn't mentioned it today, I would have almost forgotten about it! I haven't seen him for many years. How is he now?"

Jiang Xing snorted coldly: "Did someone else ask you to put him next to Mr. Lu San, or did you want to do it yourself?"

At this point, Song Ming and Li both felt something was wrong and quickly winked at Song Chushi.

However, Song Chushi didn't hear the hidden meaning at all. Thinking that it was something good, he quickly said with a flattering face, "It's me. I wanted to put her next to Lu Xiao! This guy knows everything, and it's fun to be with him!"

Jiang Xing slammed the teacup down and said in a dignified voice, "How dare you!"

He glared at them, "So the one who poisoned me was actually from the Loyalty Earl's Mansion!"

Hearing these words, the three members of the Song family in the main hall, as well as Song Chusi who had rushed over to the door, were all shocked.

Song Ming's knees immediately shook as he knelt down: "Unjust! Unjust, Your Majesty!"

Song Chushi finally realized that something was wrong and cried, "Your Highness, I didn't ask him to poison you, Your Highness!"

Song Chusi took a few steps in from outside and knelt down immediately when he saw the situation.

Jiang Xing glanced at the four people kneeling in the hall. "On my way back to the capital from Longchuan, I was poisoned by Xu Xinglin himself, and my life was hanging by a thread! Fortunately, a master saved me, and I narrowly escaped!"

His voice was icy cold. "And recently, the King has learned from him that he was driven away by the Third Young Master Lu because of his evil intentions. After being driven away, he came to Longchuan and went to this King's residence to work as a medical officer!"

Jiang Xing stood up, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, and his whole body exuded unquestionable majesty.

"Young Master Lu confessed to me personally that it was Young Master Song who deliberately placed this person next to him. He even had people trick people into gambling and using their internal organs as collateral, all for the purpose of killing people!"

He stared intently at Song Chushi, "So based on what Young Master Song just said, this person is the one you placed beside me, right?"

He has a fierce aura that makes people shudder.

Lu Xuan didn't expect that Jiang Xing would be like this towards other people, and was a little surprised.

Li was so anxious that she pushed Song Chushi and said, "How could you have the guts and brains to do something that would hurt the prince? Who ordered you to do this? Tell me!"

Song Chushi was so frightened by the title of murdering the prince that he shuddered and stammered with a trembling voice: "Prince, Prince!"

His legs were shaking. "I was wrong, Your Highness! I didn't know Xu Xinglin from the beginning! Yes, yes..."

He quickly turned his head to glance at Song Ming and Song Chusi, his hands nervously clutching the hem of his clothes, feeling anxious and afraid, not knowing whether he should say it.

Song Ming kicked him and said, "It's already this late, why are you still hesitating? Speak!"

Song Chushi staggered after being kicked, and Jiang Xing looked down at him and waited for his reply.

"Your Highness!" He cried, his face flushed. "Yes, that Xu Xinglin is someone close to Brother Ji! A few years ago, he was the one who asked me to introduce him to Lu Xiao!"

When these words were spoken, the other three members of the Song family were dumbfounded.

Song Ming's face turned pale, and Li collapsed to the ground.

Song Chusi was so frightened that he dared not breathe.

"Who is Brother Ji?" He tapped the table with his fingers twice. "I just returned to Beijing, and many people don't know me. Don't try to fool me here!"

Xuan Ge and Fei Xing behind Jiang Xing both took a step forward.

Song Chusi had been beaten by Feixing before, so he was still very scared. He anxiously poked Song Chushi and said, "Brother! Come on, tell me!"

"Yes! Yes!" Song Chushi wiped the sweat from his forehead. "It's the master of Yongping Marquis' Mansion, the Right Councillor of the Ministry of Public Administration, Lord Ji Chengji!"

Lu Xuan stood up and said, "Why would the Yongping Marquisate send someone to kill the prince? Where did they get the courage? Master Song, you'd better explain these things clearly! Murdering the prince is no joke!"

Song Chushi didn't dare lie and kowtowed to Jiang Xing several times, "Your Highness, I really didn't lie, Your Highness! I don't know why they wanted to kill you! I don't know anything, I just know that they sent me to put someone by the side of Mr. Lu San a few years ago! At that time, he was driven away by Lu Xiao, and I was scolded by Brother Ji!"

He couldn't help but burst into tears, and the tears on his face wet a large area of ​​his sleeve.

Song Ming quickly took two steps on his knees and trembled as he said, "Your Highness, Chu Shi is a fool! How could he have the brains or the courage to harm others? I beg Your Highness to be magnanimous and let Chu Shi go!"

Song Ming was filled with boundless fear. "Killing the prince and the third young master will not benefit our uncle's family, prince!"

"Will killing me be beneficial to the Marquisate? Master, please think carefully before you speak!"

Song Ming was torn between his conscience and his desires at the moment. If he didn't give out the Marquis' Mansion, the Earl's Mansion would be destroyed. But if he gave it out, he was afraid that he would get into trouble with both sides!

Jiang Xing looked at the people crawling at his feet, his voice cold, "Now that the real culprit has been identified, I will naturally report the specific details of the case to the emperor! If the Bo family is truly innocent, they will personally report the Marquis family to the emperor, and the Dali Temple will come to investigate the case. I only trust the Dali Temple and my brother!"

After saying that, Jiang Xing ignored the people kneeling on the ground and pulled Lu Xuan away.

Li grabbed Lu Xuan's skirt and knelt on the ground crying, "Princess! Princess, please, please be magnanimous and ask the prince for us!"

"Song Chushi is a fool, you've known this since childhood! He would never do such a heinous thing. Please help me plead for mercy in front of the prince, princess!"

Sang Luo slapped Li's hand away and said, "Madam, please don't pull me!"

Lu Xuan's face darkened. "Madam, the prince has made things very clear. The man Song Chushi sent was to kill the prince, not me. The princess' request was also to the prince, why would she beg me?"

"Besides, if someone wanted to kill Madam Bo, and you had a close call with death, would you still be willing to forgive the murderer and not catch the culprit behind it?"

Li was speechless. She stood there with her mouth open in a daze. The corner of Lu Xuan's clothes brushed past her hand.

"Prince, Princess!" Seeing that his mother's pleas were of no use, Song Chushi burst into tears from behind, "It really wasn't me. It was the Marquis' Mansion who did it. It wasn't my idea, Prince!"

At this time, a servant of the Bo Mansion pricked up his ears and heard the noise inside.

The man immediately pretended to be unwell and went to see a doctor, then switched shifts with someone else and ran towards the marquis's mansion.
