Chapter 708 I Can’t Turn Back (1)
"Girl Yu, what are you planning to do in such a hurry?"

"I'm going to see Ning Chu."

Xia Xue made room for the anxious Dongfang Yu to run towards the door smoothly, but when she saw the girl's footsteps running forward, she sighed softly behind her, shook her head and said, "Miss Yu, you You don't need to go, you won't see Mr. Ning."

Dongfangyu heard the words, suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned his head with the sound of the wind, and strode back to Xia Xue with a serious and cold face, "Xia Xue, tell me, what do you mean by this?" ? What do you mean I can’t see Ning Chu?”

She frowned, her eyes were full of worry and anxiety, and her voice became hurried, "What's wrong with Ning Chu?"

As she spoke, her body suddenly shook for no reason, and then she held her head with her hands, and groaned in pain.

Xia Xue was taken aback, and hurried over to support Dongfang Yu, "Miss Yu, what's wrong with you? You don't have to worry about Mr. Ning so much. I just said that you can't see him; I didn't say that his life is in danger."

Dongfangyu sat down slowly, and said with a wry smile: "Xia Xue, you misunderstood. It was me who suddenly felt a severe headache."

She closed her eyes and tried hard to think about something. She suddenly remembered that when she was upset last night, a maid broke something beside her. She didn't care about it at the time, and let the maid clean it up. .

But now it seems that the girl must have infiltrated toxic liquid mercury into the broken thing. She sat there for a while and must have sucked in a lot.

That's why I feel a splitting headache, um, my stomach is starting to ache.

Dongfang Yu gritted his teeth, and secretly hated: "Hey, I blame myself for being too careless; I actually fell into someone else's way last night."

Xia Xue looked at her suspiciously, "Miss Yu, who are you now?"

"I'm fine, um, help me up first, I have to go to the toilet first." Dongfang Yu was annoyed, clutching his stomach, and slowly stood up. "By the way, Xia Xue, go to the kitchen and have someone cook some leeks for me. I'll eat them later."

Xia Xue nodded, but looked at her uneasy, "Miss Yu, don't you need me to help you?"

Dongfang Yu half-bent, covered his stomach, and waved his hands in the air casually.

"No, go get busy."

When Dongfang Yu came out of the hut, Xia Xue had already had the leeks cooked; and Dongfang Yu immediately devoured the leeks.

Xia Xue's eyes were stared in shock by the way she was eating in such a mess.

In Xia Xue's memory, she had never seen Dongfangyu eating so rudely.

"Girl Yu, if you're hungry, you should have some breakfast, how can you feel full just by eating this bit of leeks?"

Dongfang Yu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, poured down a large glass of water, and then let out a long breath, saying: "You misunderstood, I am so eager to eat leeks, but I just want to expel the mercury in my body quickly." That's all; it's not for filling your stomach."

"By the way, what did you say about Ning Chu just now?" After Dongfang Yu explained, she began to fight hard for her breakfast again. The dean said that a child who does not eat breakfast is not a good child.

She thinks she is a good child; so she must eat breakfast on time every day.

Xia Xue frowned, with resentment in her expression, "Miss Yu, it's not what's wrong with Mr. Ning, but us."

"Us?" Dongfang Yu was even more strange, holding a bun in his hand, staring at Xia Xue with fluttering eyes, "What's wrong with us?"

"We are under house arrest here and cannot get out."

"House arrest? Us?" Dongfang Yu blinked and was stunned for a long time before he realized, "You mean we are under house arrest here!"

She put down the steamed stuffed bun and lost her appetite.

"What does she mean? Isn't she anxious to drive me away? Why did she suddenly change her mind and trap me here?"

"Miss Yu knows who put us under house arrest?" Xia Xue looked at her suspiciously, really not understanding where her affirmation came from.

Dongfang Yu raised his eyebrows lazily, and smiled coolly, "Who else is there? Yesterday, the queen came here to argue with me and refused to let me see Ning Chu, but today she plans to trap me here; I don't know if she plans to trap me How long have you been sleepy?"

She pondered for a while, silently analyzing Wen Qiufeng's motives for doing this in her heart.

Wen Qiufeng was very active yesterday in trying to drive her away, knowing that it was not easy to drive her away, so she simply trapped her.

But what is Wen Qiufeng's motivation for doing this?

Boom her... trap her...

The girl tapped the table with her chopsticks. After a long time, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind.

Suddenly, she clapped her hands cheerfully, and laughed, "By the way, she did this because she didn't want me to go into the palace to see that person."

But the question came back again. Could it be that Wen Qiufeng only thought that the man in the ninety-five years in the palace would die sooner, that's why he took so much pains to entertain her.

But why?

Dongfang Yu frowned and glanced at the table full of food, his heart was tight with irritability, he pushed away the bowls and chopsticks with one hand, stood up, and walked out of the house.

Assuming that the poison on the emperor was caused by Wen Qiufeng; Wen Qiufeng sincerely hopes that the emperor will die soon, so that Ning Chu can ascend to the throne as soon as possible, and she can be promoted to empress dowager as soon as possible.

Then she could directly poison the emperor right now, turning the emperor into a dead man who couldn't speak; why did she go to such lengths to prevent others from saving the emperor.

If the poison on the emperor was not poisoned by Wen Qiufeng; judging from the current situation, the empress is also a knowing accomplice; in this case, Wen Qiufeng can let the mastermind poison the emperor immediately, and the matter will be over.

They wanted the emperor to die, but they didn't want him to die so quickly. Why?

Could it be that only a few people knew about the emperor's poisoning, and Ning Chu was one of them?

They didn't want the emperor to die immediately, because they were worried that if the emperor died suddenly, he would be seen by others, which would arouse the suspicion of the officials and lead to turmoil in the court?

Dongfangyu thought about it and felt that the last reasoning was the most logical.

Wen Qiufeng didn't want Ning Chu to know the truth, so she kept trying to prevent Ning Chu from taking her into the palace to see the emperor.

Dongfang Yu sneered, his eyes suddenly shone like ice skates.

Sure enough, the water in the palace was muddy regardless of the country.

Xia Xue suddenly saw her sneer like ice, and suddenly felt a little hairy in her heart.

"Girl Yu, are you alright?"

Dongfangyu glanced at her noncommittally, "I'm fine for the time being." As for why it's temporary, she didn't explain further.

Xia Xue secretly wondered if Miss Yu was still worried that someone would harm them secretly.
