The people sent by Jiang Lin and Jiang Lan have been keeping an eye on Jiang Zhiyi's Third Prince's Mansion.

Three days passed and Jiang Zhiyi did not come back.

The Regent has been absent from court for three days.

What a wonderful coincidence.

"Hahaha, I wonder if the third brother can come back safely.

By the time she's missing limbs, that old woman will probably cry herself to death in Fengyi Palace."

In the side hall of Honglou Xiangyuan, Jiang Lin held a teacup in his hand and smiled happily.

It was as if he had already seen Jiang Zhiyi's miserable plight and Queen Liu crying herself to death.

The Fourth Prince and his men were unable to enter the Regent's residence to investigate.

But the atmosphere at the Shen residence seems to be particularly unusual in recent days.

The number of guards has increased a lot.

If nothing happened, no fool would believe it.

"Given Shen Jue's personality, he would definitely punish Jiang Zhiyi according to the family rules before reporting this to the emperor.

There has been no movement for so long.

It is also possible to resolve this matter privately for the sake of Shen Rouer's innocence."

Jiang Lan hesitated for a moment after saying this.

He was still a little worried.

This was a risky move on their part.

They had already used all their connections to throw Jiang Zhiyi into the Regent's Palace that day.

If Shen Jue did not play by the rules this time, but instead asked for an imperial decree for the marriage between Jiang Zhiyi and Shen Rouer.

By then, the power behind Jiang Zhiyi will be even greater.

They just made things worse.

Not only did it not cause any harm to Jiang Zhiyi, but it also brought Jiang Zhiyi a good fortune.

"Brother, I know you're worried.

Don't worry, that won't happen." Jiang Lin patted Jiang Lan's shoulder with a mysterious look on his face.

The two look exactly the same, except for their eyebrows.

It makes Jiang Lan look a little fierce.

Jiang Lin is more feminine.

"Cuiguo said that she gave the third brother ten kinds of medicine, and that he drank two bowls that day.

Two bowls.

Do you think Shen Rouer, who is gasping for breath after every three steps, can handle this dosage?"

Jiang Lin was very disdainful and sarcastic.

"The Shen family's defenses have obviously tightened over the past two days, and our people can't get any information at all.

Maybe Shen Rouer has died from the torture of the Third Brother."

"If something happens to Shen Rouer, would Shen Jue, a ruthless fellow, let Jiang Zhiyi go?"

"Let Lao San and Shen Jue fight each other, and we'll see."

Jiang Lin was still in a good mood.

There is nothing wrong with his speculation.

No matter what, Jiang Zhiyi will lose the conditions to compete for the crown prince this time.

The General's Mansion and Queen Liu were also anxious.

"Sister, don't be anxious. This matter cannot be made public.

The fewer people who know, the better for the understanding."

Liu Chengwen, Queen Liu’s brother, said.

Jiang Zhiyi suddenly disappeared three days ago.

Their people secretly searched almost every corner of Shangjing.

No trace was found.

Queen Liu's eyes were red from crying due to anxiety.

"Brother, do you think Zhiyi might have met with some misfortune?" asked Queen Liu.

It's no wonder she thought so, as the emperor has been planning to appoint a crown prince recently.

All the palaces are ready to make a move.

If something unexpected happened to her at this critical moment.

Will be directly rejected by the emperor.

In fact, Liu Chengwen was also very anxious.

But he couldn't lose his composure:

"Our people have found out that people from the Fourth Brother's group have been lingering outside Zhiyi's residence in recent days. Zhiyi's disappearance may be related to them."

Upon hearing this, Queen Liu's eyes turned red again and tears kept falling.

Liu Chengan sighed and consoled her, "Father didn't let me tell you about this because he was afraid you'd think too much about it like you are now."

"Don't worry, I think it has something to do with them, but Zhiyi shouldn't have any major problems either.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have inquired in Prince Zhiyi's mansion.

Instead, they directly began to win over people and incite the forces on our side to rebel."

The reason why Liu Chengan said this was that he had already captured Cuiguo in Jiang Zhiyi's prince's mansion.

Under torture, Cui Guo confessed that the Fourth Prince asked her to give Jiang Zhiyi an aphrodisiac, and after that, the Fourth Prince would take her as his concubine.

I think Concubine Lan wants to ruin Zhiyi's reputation.

I just don't know why they haven't taken any action in three days.

"Really?" asked Queen Liu.

Liu Chengan nodded.

He glanced at the Buddha statue standing in the middle of the hall and said as if he had made some kind of decision:

"In two days, if there is no news from Zhiyi, we will also take tough measures."

For Jiang Zhiyi's position as crown prince, the risk is worth it.

If the position of crown prince is really obtained by Concubine Lan.

They will suffer greater oppression and losses in the future.

There was one more thing he didn't say.

The Regent has not attended court for three days.

He hasn't shown up in the past three days.

But their people couldn't get into the Regent's Palace at all.

It is difficult to even find a little clue.

If this matter involves the Shen family.

I'm afraid it will be even more disadvantageous to them.

Jiang Zhiyi, who was being missed by everyone, was sleeping soundly in Shen Jue's arms.

The effect of the medicine on him wore off by the second night.

The most serious thing was the bloody hole in his thigh where the dagger had pierced it.

"Your Highness, it's time to change the medicine." Shen Jue called softly.

I was afraid that if I made a loud noise I would disturb the person in my arms.

Everything seems like a dream these days.

Including the fact that he is actually holding someone in his arms now.

It all feels unreal.

But he also felt that the person in his arms could only be his, and no one else could touch him.

"Well~, you helped me change, I'm so tired." Jiang Zhiyi leaned half of her face on Shen Jue's waist and continued to sleep.

The maid named Cuiguo was too powerful. Even if her soul was strong enough, she almost died in the northwest after taking two bowls of medicine.

So tired, so tired.

For the first time, I felt as if my body was hollowed out.

Even so, Shen Jue was gentle because he had a leg injury.

If he took advantage of the drug, he thought he would definitely die.

What a lovely soul, no matter where or when.

Even if we just met, we could recognize him immediately and trust him without any reason.

Even though the two people may not be in the same camp.

5836: Not having fun, host? I'll block it right away.

Jiang Zhiyi had lost too much blood and was weak, so Shen Jue couldn't let go at all.

Even though the wound on Jiang Zhiyi's leg did not worsen and he did not have a fever.

He still couldn't bear to be too rough.

Shen Jue gently tapped the tip of Jiang Zhiyi's nose, who was sleeping like a pig, with a helpless look on his face.

He used his arms to gently move the person onto the bed.

He got out of bed quietly and took out the medicine box left by Shen Fei.

He then gently untied the gauze on Jiang Zhiyi's thigh wound with the same movement.

The wound on the white leg was hideous.

Shen Jue, who always kills people without blinking an eye, has heartache in his eyes.

"How silly." Shen Jue said lovingly while gently disinfecting the wound.

The dagger that fell on the ground and the blood all over the floor that night made him want to slap himself in the face whenever he thought about it.

Why didn't you show up earlier?

If he had appeared earlier, His Highness would not have hurt himself in order to resist the effects of the medicine.
