Chapter 128 Even if something goes wrong, I’m still alone
Eunuch Zheng had already left after delivering the order, and with Xiao Jinzhi's expression showing no problem at all, Xiao Rongxuan had a cold face and took Liu Qianran out of the prison temporarily.

Chu Huanyan was put down from the torture rack. She rubbed her tied red hands and looked at Xiao Jinzhi, "Did His Highness have other plans and arrangements when he entered this prison?"

Xiao Jinzhi checked Chu Huanyan's wrist, and after confirming that the skin was not broken, he smiled and said, "I'm afraid Xiao Rongxuan is thinking the same thing."

Chu Huanyan didn't speak, she just frowned and continued to look at Xiao Jinzhi.

The latter looked a little more serious, shook his head and said: "Gu Zhen simply came to live in this prison for a few days, with no other plans."

Chu Huanyan's brows furrowed even more tightly, "Your Highness is doing this just to replace me?"

"This is the fastest way I can think of. Apart from that... there is only Jie Tian Prison." Xiao Jinzhi said in a relaxed tone with a smile on his handsome face.

He was the person Xiao Rongxuan wanted to target, and it was impossible for him to hand Chu Huanyan into Xiao Rongxuan's hands.But the current situation did not allow him to think carefully about a solution. Xiao Rongxuan would not give him this time.

Chu Huanyan's mood was complicated. Xiao Jinzhi was the prince, and the dignified prince was in a prison. After this incident spread, I am afraid that Xiao Jinzhi's already bad reputation would be greatly added to.

"Is it worth it, Your Highness?"

Is it worth it just to get myself out of prison?
"It's worth it." Xiao Jinzhi said seriously.

These two simple words, without any other unnecessary explanation, make it impossible to doubt the authenticity of these words.

"Gu has made arrangements. After you go out, you can directly enter the palace to investigate the matter. Yun Chen and Xian Yue should have entered the palace at this moment. Qin Li will follow you and tell you all the current situation. And Shen Over there at Chi, Gu has already said hello. He has some reputation. Now he has entered the palace to treat Concubine Xue. He will help you if necessary. This time is related to poisoning after all. There is a doctor by your side. Many Things will be easier.”

Xiao Jinzhi gave instructions in detail. After finishing speaking, he paused briefly, thought for a while, and then added.

"However, if Shen Chi asks you to drink some medicinal tea again, just ignore him. It's really not possible..."

Xiao Jinzhi glanced at Qin Li standing next to him and said with a smile, "Let Qin Li drink it for you."

Qin Li: "???"

Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi silently, with mixed emotions.

After a while, she finally said: "His Royal Highness is in this prison, just in case the Third Prince..."

"Don't worry, Gu is the prince after all, they don't dare to make a move against Gu." Xiao Jinzhi looked relaxed and looked around, "Gu just come to experience this heavenly prison. When you find out the truth, Gu will naturally You can go out."

"His Royal Highness, do you believe me so much?" Isn't Xiao Jinzhi worried that he may not be able to find out the truth?

The expression on Xiao Jinzhi's face remained unchanged, but there was a light of trust in his eyes.

"Of course I believe it, Chu Huanyan, Gu believes in you. So, you don't have to worry about anything, just go ahead and investigate. Taking a step back, even if something goes wrong, Gu will still be there."

Xiao Jinzhi's words were like a shot in the arm, making Chu Huanyan's worried and nervous heart suddenly feel more at ease.

This feeling is like...

A person walking on a cliff suddenly saw a large net pulled up below.Even if he accidentally fell, he seemed to have a way out to rely on and avoid falling to pieces.

The moment she walked out of the prison, looking at the sunlight outside, Chu Huanyan was still in a daze. She stopped and looked back.

Will Xiao Jinzhi really not regret doing this?Qin Li saw Chu Huanyan stop and look back, thinking that she might be worried about His Highness's situation, so he spoke to comfort him.

"Miss Chu, don't worry, Your Highness will be fine."

Chu Huanyan withdrew her gaze and glanced at Qin Li again, "Do you agree with what your Highness is doing?"

Qin Li was stunned for a moment, "No matter what His Highness wants to do, his subordinates will obey orders. As for whether they support it or not..."

Qin Li smiled at Chu Huanyan.

"What His Highness does naturally has his own considerations. No matter what he does, his subordinates will support him."

The reason for choosing to stay in the prison instead of Miss Chu was simply because in His Highness's opinion, Miss Chu's safety and health was more important than His Highness's reputation.Since His Highness has already made his choice, he can just follow His Highness's arrangements and help His Highness achieve his goals. There is no need to think so much about other things.

Chu Huanyan didn't ask any more questions. Continuing to hesitate now would only be a waste of time. What she had to do was to find out the truth as soon as possible.

On the way to the palace, Chu Huanyan listened to Qin Li talk about the current situation.

Concubine Xue was still in a coma, and the imperial doctors were helpless.However, Shen Chi and the imperial doctors were already responsible for detoxifying Concubine Xue.

After listening to Qin Li talking about Chu Huanyan, he realized that the ancestor of Shen Chi's family was also known as a miracle doctor.Although Shen Chi's generation has not yet become famous, the name of the descendants of the Shen family is enough to bluff people.

In addition to the poison found in the painting book, the entire Yingxue Palace was searched, but no other poison was found.

As for the maids and eunuchs in Yingxue Palace, they also interrogated them all and found nothing suspicious for the time being.

"If it was really someone from Yingxue Palace who could think of spreading the medicine powder into the painting book, it shows that he is very careful. I am afraid that no flaws will be exposed easily." Walking on the palace road, Chu Huanyan said in a deep voice. .

"His Highness also said this, but in the palace, it is not convenient for His Highness's secret guards to sneak in and keep an eye on them, so apart from asking questions, they cannot grasp all their actions in a timely manner." Qin Li frowned.

"It doesn't matter." Chu Huanyan shook her head, "At this juncture, even if the secret guards can quietly watch, they may not be able to observe anything."

If she is the murderer, the best way at this time is to do nothing and make it look like everything is normal.

"The emperor only gave you three days. Miss Chu, are you confident that you can find the truth within three days?" Qin Li couldn't help but ask.

Three days, he felt that time was too short.

Chu Huanyan did not answer immediately. After walking a certain distance in silence, she said softly: "Take me to see Xian Yue and Yun Chen first."

Xiao Jinzhi had already made arrangements in advance so that Chu Huanyan could live in the palace during these three days, and her residence was the Hengwu Courtyard where Xiao Jinzhi left the palace before opening his mansion.

As soon as Chu Huanyan entered the courtyard, she saw Yun Chen and Xian Yue.

Xian Yue was so anxious that she kept walking around the courtyard. When she finally saw Chu Huanyan, she breathed a huge sigh of relief and hurriedly came up to her to check whether her young lady was injured.

Although Yun Chen was not as eager as Xianyue, the worry in his eyes was equally obvious.

Especially when he saw Chu Huanyan's red wrists, the temperature of his whole body dropped significantly, "Did they use torture?"
