"The Prime Minister's Mansion has such a great reputation! It's even more important than the prince's life!" Chu Wanyu said sarcastically from the side.

"This……"

Chu Qinglian's face was conflicted. He raised his head to meet the empress dowager's majestic gaze. The corners of his mouth moved but he didn't say a word.

"Okay, come here, take him away and execute him by slow slicing!" said the Queen Mother in a cold voice.

"Chu Qinglian, listen to me, you must take good care of my daughter, otherwise I will not let you go even if I become a ghost. Besides, those things are in my daughter's hands!"

Shen was dragged out, and a shrill voice came back.

Chu Wanyu frowned and looked at Chu Qinglian coldly. Seeing that his brows were furrowed and murderous intent was surging deep in his eyes, she raised the corners of her mouth.

Where is the evidence of corruption and bribery?

Think of that mysterious secret passage.

Chu Wanyu fell into deep thought.

On the other side, Shen was dragged into a dark room, and then an old maid came out, pinched his chin and poured a cup of poisoned wine into him.

In an instant, her face turned blue and purple, blood came out of her mouth, her whole body kept twitching, and she felt like millions of ants were biting her.

At this moment, the door of the dark room opened, and a man walked over quickly and helped Shen up: "I'm sorry, I made you feel wronged!"

Then he stuffed a pill into Shen's mouth.

After taking the pill, Shen's pain was alleviated. She slowly opened her eyes and said, "It's you. I didn't expect you're still alive! That's great!"

She threw herself into the man's arms and cried miserably.

"Don't worry, we will all live well and make those who have wronged us live a life worse than death!" The man hugged Shen tightly and kissed her affectionately.

……

A side hall of the Cining Palace.

Chu Wanyu held a silver needle and helped Xiao Lijing remove the toxins from his body.

She didn't know how long it had been, but sweat was pouring down her forehead. After pulling out all the silver needles, she looked at Xiao Lijing's expression and saw that he had relaxed. She breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her sore wrist.

Jingzhe appeared carefully behind the window, "Your Highness, I have not seen Shen's body. Only a disfigured person was thrown into a mass grave!"

"As expected!" Chu Wanyu was not surprised. The corners of her mouth curled up and she said with a click of her tongue: "Our emperor is truly merciful!"

The sarcastic tone was not concealed at all.

At this moment, Xiao Lijing, who was unconscious on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Is this king dreaming?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Wanyu smiled and said, "Let me help you verify it!"

"hiss!"

Xiao Lijing felt a sharp pain in his arm and his eyes widened instantly.

Chu Wanyu raised her lips and laughed, "Now you know it's not a dream!"

"That's great!" Xiao Lijing hugged Chu Wanyu in his arms, holding her tightly as if to rub her into his body. "You're okay, that's great!"

Feeling the softness in his arms, he felt his empty heart filled.

Their bodies pressed tightly together.

A blush crept up on Chu Wanyu's face.

"The prince is awake!"

Jingzhe outside the window was ecstatic when he heard the sound and opened the window.

Uh!

I saw two people hugging each other tightly in the room.

He quickly closed the window and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please continue. I didn't see anything!"

"roll!"

Xiao Lijing's face froze and he threw the pillow towards the window.

Chu Wanyu pushed him away like a hot potato and retreated a few meters away, "Your Highness, let's go back to the palace first!"

The palace is like a huge beast.

The emperor is the master here.

Always uncomfortable in enemy territory.

Xiao Lijing and Chu Wanyu returned to Prince Zhan's Mansion under the arrangement of the Queen Mother.

As night falls, candlelight flickers.

Chu Wanyu sat down beside the bed, holding the prepared medicine. "Your Highness, I've carefully checked everything you use and found someone may have tampered with it. So, you must be more careful in the future! I will personally take care of your food, clothing, shelter, and transportation!"

Although the Prince Zhan's Mansion is a solid block.

However, it is difficult to guard against the schemes of those who have ulterior motives.

In order to avoid being plotted against again, she carefully checked the palace inside and out.

Xiao Lijing nodded slightly, looked at the black medicine, and frowned slightly.

Just then a figure floated past the window.

Chu Wanyu's eyes flickered, her lips curled into a faint smile, and she leaned forward to pass the medicine to her lips, "Your Highness, drink it while it's hot, otherwise the Queen Mother will worry!"

She smiled and raised her eyebrows.

Xiao Lijing followed his peripheral vision and took the medicine with a smile, "Princess, you are so considerate!"

As a result, he drank the medicine in one gulp.

Chu Wanyu raised her voice, "This is also my responsibility!"

The voice was soft and charming.

Xiao Lijing's heart trembled slightly, "I'm going to trouble you, Princess, for the next few days!"

Outside.

The nanny beside the Empress Dowager pricked up her ears, a smile on her face, "I must write a letter and report to the Empress Dowager later!"

She put her ear to the window, listened for a while, then turned and left.

Make sure the person eavesdropping outside the door has left.

Chu Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief. "The Queen Mother was worried that I wasn't taking good care of me, so she actually sent someone to monitor me. It's not easy!"

"Does it still hurt?" Xiao Lijing asked gently.
