"Oh?" Xiao Lijing spoke lightly, with a rising tone at the end.

That devilish face was calm, no emotion could be seen, and it was unclear whether he believed it or not.

Jiang Mian lowered his eyes and said, "These slaves are sneaky and cunning, and they are capable of anything. If someone bribes them with a large sum of money, they will definitely betray their master! It is better to torture them to extract a confession!"

As soon as the words "torture and forced confession" were uttered.

The cooks were trembling.

They work in the palace and have a good salary and high status, and it is also prestigious to tell others about it.

However, they had all signed death warrants. Even if they were beaten to death under torture, no one would stand up for them.

Aunt Li was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. Seeing Jiang Mian's gaze fixed on her, she knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, spare my life. This servant is truly innocent!"

Inside the room, Chu Wanyu heard the cries for mercy outside and walked out, forcing herself to say, "I believe Aunt Li!"

Despite his frail body, he exudes an unquestionable majesty.

Jiang Mian sneered disdainfully, "The Princess is too kind..."

"You also know that I'm the princess!" Chu Wanyu interrupted impatiently, "Alright, this matter will continue to be investigated, you guys continue to do your job!"

As he spoke, his body swayed and Xia Lu beside him hurriedly supported him.

Xiao Lijing said in a dead voice, "Jiang Mian, you stay in the yard these days and don't go out unless necessary!"

"Your Majesty!"

This is a disguised form of house arrest.

Jiang Mian felt dissatisfied and secretly resented Xiao Lijing and Chu Wanyu as they left.

Chu Wanyu relied on her status as a princess to pressure her.

Thinking back to the last palace banquet, the emperor’s attitude towards Chu Wanyu made it clear that she was a thorn in his side?

Since this is the case, why not use the opponent's strength to counter the opponent's strength? He was thinking that he must seek the emperor's support and get rid of this thorn in his side.

Lying on the bed, Chu Wanyu coughed weakly twice.

She looked up at the dark medicine, her face full of rejection. "Actually, daily acupuncture and bloodletting can also remove the toxins in the body! I'm a miracle doctor!"

At the end, he was worried that Xiao Lijing wouldn't believe him, so he patted his chest confidently.

Xiao Lijing's eyes darkened slightly. "Haven't you always wanted to get the martial arts secret manual?"

"Your Highness, have you figured it out?" Chu Wanyu's eyes were unusually bright.

Those bright eyes seemed to be dotted with stars, so bright that it made people dazed.

When their eyes met, Xiao Lijing's gaze was burning and doting, as if he wanted to wrap the person up in it and make it impossible for him to escape.

Chu Wanyu coughed and turned aside in embarrassment.

Xiao Lijing raised the corners of his mouth, a smile flickering between his eyebrows, "As long as you drink the medicine obediently, I will teach you martial arts!"

"Really?" Chu Wanyu was excited. She took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. "Your Highness's word is as good as gold. It cannot be changed! I'm almost well now. Let's practice martial arts now!"

"Okay, then let's continue with the horse stance!"

"What?" Chu Wanyu widened her eyes, looking dazed.

"The first step in the martial arts secret book is also horse stance!" Xiao Lijing stretched out his fingers and tidied up the loose hair on her forehead.

"you……"

Even Chu Wanyu, who was tricked, pouted like a kitten with its fur standing on end, "Okay, okay, you are clearly lying to me!"

She was so angry that she covered her head with the quilt.

Xiao Lijing laughed softly, "More haste makes waste. It's just that you don't want to learn!"

"Humph! You're trying to trick me. I'm angry and can't be coaxed!"

The frail Chu Wanyu started throwing tantrums like a child.

Outside the door, several people couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh as they heard the two people bickering inside.

In the early morning, looking at the medicine that had to be taken without fail, Chu Wanyu felt hopeless.

She was thinking about how to refuse, but when she thought of what Xiao Lijing said last night, she drank the medicine in one gulp with great courage.

"Princess, the county lady is here to visit!"

"My good sister came at the perfect time!"

Chu Wanyu curled her lips with dissatisfaction. Xiao Lijing wanted to ask someone to send him away, but she reached out to stop him.

"Just treat it as a boring spice for life!" Chu Wanyu said, pushing Xiao Lijing out. "Your Highness, go take care of the important things, and I'll deal with these monsters!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Lijing nodded helplessly and left with Jingzhe.

"Hurry up and change my clothes and put on some exquisite makeup! We have to overwhelm him with our momentum!"

There was chaos in the room.

In the blink of an eye, the frail Chu Wanyu appeared in front of Chu Ruoran with bright, generous and graceful manner.

"Sister, you look so good!" Chu Ruoran smiled, but the smile was not in her eyes, and her face was full of surprise.

Before she came, she thought she would see a haggard person who exuded the aura of death.

I didn't expect that she was so spirited, especially the precious jewelry on her body, which almost blinded my eyes and made me jealous.

In order to come to Prince Zhan's mansion, she dressed up specially, wearing the priceless royal silk and a priceless sapphire headscarf on her head.

But compared with the person in front of him, he was at a disadvantage.

She clenched her hand into a fist under her sleeve, slowly tightening it as she tried her best to control her hatred.

With a dissatisfied snort, she said sarcastically, "Sister is capable. Not long after marrying here, she has won the prince's love!"
