However, just as he said this, the small green vine hidden in the bonsai shot out another thin thread and entangled the bonsai opposite.

So just as Chen Shou was waving a fan, smiling complacently, and walking briskly past the servant to go down the stairs first, he suddenly tripped!

"boom!"

The servant holding the lantern and following behind suddenly had his pupils tremble: "!!!"

His face was filled with fear, and he hurriedly rushed down with the lantern in hand: "Prince, what happened to you? Are you okay?"

As a result, he tripped hard!

"boom!"

The servant fell hard on Chen Shou's back.

Chen Shou was almost crushed to death by him, but more people rushed down shouting "Prince".

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Chen Shou was almost crushed into a meat patty.

Lord Cheng'en, who was in the study, heard the noise and hurried out.

Not only that, the servants nearby were also attracted by the commotion here.

At this time, the servants who had just been tripped also came to their senses, hurriedly got up from the ground, and went to help Chen Shou again.

Just as Duke Cheng'en was about to come down to check, someone immediately shouted, "Duke, be careful, there's something fishy going on here!"

Upon hearing this, Lord Cheng'en immediately stopped vigilantly and squinted at the open space under the stairs.

He was a little puzzled. There seemed to be nothing there, only a bonsai on each side. What could be so strange?

Chen Shou suddenly pushed away the servant who was supporting him, snatched the lantern from his hand, and limped carefully to the place where he had just tripped.

However, upon closer inspection, there was nothing there, not even any rope.

He reached out his hand and touched it again, but found nothing. He felt around a few more times, but still found nothing.

How could this be?

Could it be that someone secretly hid something?

Is there a traitor among these people present?

Chen Shou looked suspiciously at the servants present, his eyes cold: Who among these people is the traitor? Could their conversation with his father have been overheard?

Thinking of the consequences of those words being spread, Chen Shou suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and spit out a mouthful of blood!

"puff!"

When everyone saw Chen Shou vomiting blood, they immediately panicked.

Duke Cheng'en was even more horrified and frantically asked someone to call the palace doctor.

Chen Shou suddenly said, "Si Mo, go get the palace doctor. The rest of you, stand still. Anyone who dares to move will be arrested immediately!"

When Duke Cheng'en heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy.

Chen Shou only asked his servant to call the palace doctor, but did not allow anyone else to act without authorization, which meant that there was a traitor among these people!

Who is it?

How dare you betray him!

Chen Shou carefully climbed the stairs, walked up to Duke Cheng'en, and whispered, "Father, when I was going down just now, I was suddenly tripped by something, probably a thin rope.

Si Mo was worried about me, so he rushed down to check and also tripped. Then several servants rushed down and all of them tripped without exception.

But I just checked carefully and didn't find any string there. This is really strange. I suspect someone secretly hid the string."

Duke Cheng'en's expression grew increasingly gloomy. "Your suspicions are correct. These people must be thoroughly investigated! This is a crucial area of ​​the study; we absolutely cannot tolerate any traitors!"

The things he discussed with Chen Shou would cost him his life!

Once the news of the traitor gets out, the entire Chen family will cease to exist!

So even if we have to dig three feet underground, we must find the person!

The father and son gnashed their teeth, but they didn't know that the culprit had already sneaked into the flower garden next to them.

Not only that, it also quietly drilled into the ground, spreading its own filaments from underground, and continuously devouring the wood energy in the flowers and trees in Cheng'en Mansion.

Xie Ying's wood-related ability can not only promote the growth of plants, but also extract the vitality of plants.

The flowers and trees in Xie Mansion were turned into empty shells by her. They looked full of life on the outside, but they were actually dead on the inside.

Once the vitality on the surface is completely consumed, the entire plant will quickly wither.
