Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 55
When Xiao Xu returned to the palace, it was already past half of the night.

He slowly stepped into the room where Chu Qingyan was placed, Kong Ling had already rushed over after receiving the news, and followed him to report the situation.

"Master, the toxins on Miss Chu's body have been cleaned up, and there is nothing serious about it now, but her body is not in good shape. This poisoning may have hurt her foundation, and she needs to recuperate for a while."

Kong Ling noticed that when he mentioned that the foundation was not good and the foundation was damaged, the master's face didn't look very good, and he secretly thought, it seems that the master still has something to do with this Chu Qingyan.

"You don't want to go back to Shanan for the time being, tell Baihu what herbs you need." Xiao Xu left this order, turned around and entered the back room.

But Kong Ling paused, and looked at her master in disbelief, that Chu Qingyan's body could be treated by an ordinary doctor or an imperial doctor in the palace, and if she left herself here to take care of this girl, wouldn't she be overqualified?
But when he heard the second half of the explanation, he raised his eyebrows, the master wanted to take care of her body at all costs!

Xining, who was serving beside Chu Qingyan, saw the person coming, and hurriedly opened the curtain for Xiao Xu, never expecting the prince to come over at this time.

"My lord—" Xining was about to salute, but Xiao Xu stopped him with a look. He waved his hand, Xining understood, and walked backwards.

Soon, he was the only one left in the room, and Kong Ling got his order to go down.

There was a lamp in the room, but in order to take care of the sleeping Chu Qingyan, it was moved far away, not as good as the moonlight coming in from the window.

And Xiao Xu looked at the people on the bed under the silvery moonlight.

Although the mandala has been undone, her face is still pale.Recalling the first time I saw her, her rosy face was really cute.

He sat down on the bed, his eyes still on her.

Although she may seem timid, she is actually bold.

On weekdays, she is like a kitten hiding its sharp claws. When it can't bear it anymore, it will show its claws in protest. For example, that time when he teased her to nowhere, she came to him angrily to settle the score.

Recalling the brilliant look on her face back then, Xiao Xu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Thinking of the scenes that teased her on weekdays, my mood gradually became peaceful.

The pursuit of fame and wealth, the scheming of intrigues, the broken voice, the scolding, and the indifference deep in the memory seem to be gone.

Xiao Xu leaned against the wall of the bed, looking at the peacefully sleeping person, feeling indescribably peaceful in his heart.

Time passed quickly, and the night passed.

In the early morning light, Xiao Xu got up and left the room, and Xining, who was dozing outside the door, was awakened by the slight sound of footsteps. Xiao Xu stood still in front of her, explained a few words, and then left.

Seeing the prince leave, Xining let go of her frightened emotions and entered the room.

After a while, Chu Qingyan slowly opened her eyes. After her eyes got used to the light in front of her eyes, her chaotic mind gradually became clear.

"Water—" opened his mouth, and it dried up for a while.

As soon as Xining heard her voice, she immediately held a glass of water and slowly approached the corner of her mouth, and fed it bit by bit.

When her throat became more comfortable, Chu Qingyan shook her head, and wanted to raise her hand to support her forehead, but found that she was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand. Chu Qingyan was startled, and at this moment, the forgotten memory returned instantly. In her mind, she thought of the black blood before she passed out, and she couldn't help being surprised, "Xining, what's wrong with me?"

Seeing the master born in front of her eyes, Xi Ning, the half-grown child, finally shed the tears she had held back for three days, and she cried, "Master, after you ate the cake brought by the fourth prince a few days ago, you poisoned."

"A few days ago?" Chu Qingyan frowned.

"Yes, you have been in a coma for three days. Fortunately, the prince brought a doctor with excellent medical skills, otherwise the poison of the mandala—" Xi Ning cried and did not continue.

Mandala?She heard it a lot in the TV series, but she didn't expect it to be staged on her body. Chu Qingyan gasped, it seemed that she and the fourth prince were obviously at odds, and she was almost poisoned to death if she ate something from him.

Fortunately, King Ying saved her life because she was his fiancée.

Chu Qingyan couldn't help but feel a headache, as if she owed the King of Ying a great favor.

Forget it, let's pay it back later when we have a chance.

"Xining, I'm a little hungry." I haven't eaten for three days, hanging on those soups, my stomach is already empty.

Xining was going to tell her master that the prince stayed with her last night, but when the master interrupted her, she immediately focused on the fact that she was hungry, and nodded quickly.

Inside the study.

Xiao Xu sat quietly, in front of him stood two capable subordinates, Fire Spirit and Earth Spirit.

Tu Ling reported, "Your Majesty, Wang Chong's family has been convicted today, implicated in the nine clans, and will be executed after autumn. Lin Fengzheng has found out many people involved with him in the past two days, and they have all been imprisoned."

This corruption case can be regarded as over.

Although Huo Ling was happy that his lord had cleared the suspicion, he felt strange, "Your lord, you have been delaying this matter before, and that Lin Fengzheng is also racking his brains to find a reliable charge to frame you. Why is it so so now? The case will be closed soon? What do you think is strange here?"

Tu Ling sneered coldly when he heard the words, "It's not because of the Fu family's sincerity to the prince for the sake of the fourth prince."

Touched by Tu Ling, Huo Ling immediately figured it out. Chu Qingyan was poisoned because he ate the cake brought by the fourth prince. Although the prince blocked the news, the empress still resorted to tricks. The news had long been in private Rumors spread that the Fu family, or rather Concubine Yue, was worried that Xiao Xu would take the opportunity to retaliate, so they were the first to react, and quickly closed the corruption case, and did not bother to frame the prince. On the surface, His Majesty wanted to investigate the prince, not they took the initiative to investigate. Although they only played a role in fueling the flames, these old and cunning people would not admit it.

But at this moment, Baihu walked in, "Your Majesty, His Majesty sent people to send a lot of precious medicinal materials and silk, saying that they were rewards for Miss Chu's family. The accompanying father-in-law told the old slave that The cooks who handled the pastries have all been disposed of."

"En." Xiao Xu nodded indifferently.

For the sake of the Fu family, the emperor did this not only to appease him, but probably with the intention of calming things down.

The corners of the mouth were slightly bent, revealing a smile that was not a smile.

The faces of Huo Ling and Tu Ling couldn't help but change. They couldn't fail to see what His Majesty meant. This was to tell the prince not to pursue the fourth prince's fault.

They turned their eyes to the master in front of them one after another. At this time, the master should be feeling uncomfortable.

His Majesty favors the Fourth Prince too much.

Xiao Xu inadvertently glanced at a figure outside the window, and waved someone to call her in.
