Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 466: Unrelated (Update )
Xiao Lanxi shook her head: "My daughter doesn't know either."

Regardless of whether there is a problem with the antidote, the fact that King Lie’s condition has worsened is a good thing for them!
Concubine Ru was even a little impatient: "So how is he now?"

Xiao Lanxi shook her head again: "This... my daughter doesn't know. The Liewang Mansion is under heavy security today. It's extremely difficult to get any information."

Also.

Of course King Lie would try his best to keep such a big thing secret.

If anyone knew that his injury had worsened, his situation would be even worse.

Especially now that His Majesty is also ill!

As the imperial concubine lowered her eyes, many thoughts flashed through her mind rapidly.

After a moment, she said, "Since Prince Lie is unwell, we must urge the imperial physician to treat him well. Also, send him some supplements—"

"Mother, no."

Xiao Lanxi rarely spoke up to interrupt her. Concubine Ru was stunned, but Xiao Lanxi's next sentence reminded her.

Xiao Lanxi whispered, "It would be bad if we alert the enemy."

A light suddenly flashed in Concubine Ru's mind.

Yes!

If we send someone to Prince Lie's Palace at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling everyone that they have been secretly monitoring each other?
The best choice is to do nothing and wait and see!
Xiao Lanxi said: "Father has already suspected my second brother, so we can't let him prove it now."

"Yep!"

The imperial concubine woke up as if from a dream, and cold sweat instantly broke out on her back.

Now it is obvious that someone wants to frame Cheng Xuan for sending the Nanhu swordsman to assassinate King Lie. The more times like this, the more careful they have to be and think carefully about every move!
Concubine Ru thought for a long time before she said, "Since Prince Lie's Mansion has blocked the news, let them do whatever they want! After all, the truth will come to light sooner or later. As long as we wait until then..."

At that time, who would stand behind a disabled prince?

Xiao Lanxi nodded and said, "I understand, daughter. I will remember mother's teachings."

The imperial concubine's mood had gone through great ups and downs in a short period of time. When she calmed down, she felt very tired.

She knew very well that she could do nothing now.

Concubine Ru looked out the door and bit her lip secretly.

"Instead... Ye Chutang took advantage of the situation! She stole the spotlight!"

There were so many people in the Imperial Medical Bureau, but in the end they were reduced to helping a little girl!

Xiao Lanxi paused: "Does mother think... Ye Chutang can definitely make father healed?"

Concubine Ru frowned tightly, "It's not that I believe her, but look at the attitude of the princess! She keeps asking her for help, as if there is no other doctor in the world who can treat illnesses except her! And it seems that she really has some skills..."

If Ye Chutang really had no ability at all, he would never have gotten to where he is today.

The reason why the eldest princess protected him so much was because everyone knew that Ye Chutang did have the ability.

Xiao Lanxi's eyes flickered slightly: "That's right. Maybe this time, she can cure father's illness with medicine."

……

As soon as Ye Chutang brought Xiaowu back to the mansion, the doorman came up quickly and handed him a letter.

"Second Miss, Shopkeeper Xue came today and said that he had some accounts to consult with you. Seeing that you were not at home, he left a letter and left."

Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly and reached out to take it.

Xue Ran would come over to report on his work every once in a while, and everyone had gotten used to it.

But he was a smart man, knowing that she was busy in the palace recently, he still sent a letter...

"understood."

Ye Chutang responded casually and took Xiaowu back to the room.

Only after closing the door did Ye Chutang slowly open the letter.

Xiaowu looked over eagerly.

Ye Chutang chuckled and tapped her forehead: "It's not what you want to see."

Xiaowu pouted in disappointment and turned away obediently.

——Okay!
Since my sister said so, then this letter definitely has nothing to do with money!

Ye Chutang then turned her eyes to the letter. When she saw the words clearly, the corners of her lips slightly raised.

——This is not Xue Ran’s handwriting.

This is Xiao Chengqi's calligraphy.

……

Xiaowu washed up obediently and got into bed. His big, round, black eyes looked at the slender figure sitting at the table.

Ye Chutang quickly finished reading the letter and placed it next to the candle, which was quickly consumed by the red flame.

Only a wisp of white smoke remained.

Afterwards, Ye Chutang stood up, calm and composed as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment - it was burned just like that? Didn't Sister need to reply?
But this thought only flashed through her mind. Anyway, her elder sister had her own way of doing things.

Xiaowu lifted a corner of the quilt, patted the soft blanket with his chubby little hands, and gave Ye Chutang a big smile.

—Sister! Warm the bed!

……

Prince Lie's Palace.

Xiao Chengqi was surprised: "She didn't say anything?"

The guard in black nightgown bowed his head and replied, "Yes. I saw Miss Ye Er take the letter with my own eyes, but there was no movement over there until dawn."

Xiao Chengqi seemed to be thinking about something.

This means...

The guard asked, "Your Highness, do you need me to pass on another message?"

Xiao Chengqi shook his head: "No need."

The guard was stunned: "But you vomited blood——"

Xiao Chengqi waved his hand: "I have suffered more serious injuries before, what is there to be afraid of?"

"But the remaining poison in your body has not been eliminated——"

He looked up and met Xiao Chengqi's gaze, and finally swallowed the rest of his words.

Xiao Chengqi turned his head and looked at the wound on his shoulder.

After vomiting blood last night, the wound also broke and it took a lot of effort to stop it.

but……

Since that person meant it, he just did it.

Xiao Chengqi said: "Strengthen the defense, and all the information in the mansion must not be leaked. No matter who asks, you must keep your mouth shut, understand?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Chengqi narrowed his eyes and said, "If I calculated the date correctly, the Minister of the Court should be returning to the capital soon. When he comes back, please ask him to come to the mansion."

The guard didn't ask any more questions and just bowed his head in response.

Just as he was about to leave and reached the door, Xiao Chengqi called him back.

"By the way, has the prince of Dingbei Marquis's mansion done anything in the past two days?"

The guard thought for a moment and said, "It is said that the prince was planning to go to Qingzhou to investigate a case in Japan, but was delayed because of the jade pendant incident."

The fact that Xiao Chengqi's jade pendant was found on the Nanhu swordsman was a secret, but everyone who should know it already knew about it.

This also includes Xiao Chengqi.

Xiao Chengqi couldn't help but laugh: "He doesn't want to miss out on any of the fun."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a setup, and the Nanhu Swordsman must be crazy to carry such an incriminating object.

They are desperate criminals who are willing to risk their lives. How could they do something so stupid?

Now, everything points to Xiao Chengqi.

The guard hesitated a little: "Your Highness, do you mean... that the Second Prince has nothing to do with the Southern Hu Swordsman?"
