The carriage arrived outside the gate of the eldest princess's mansion. After getting off the carriage, Chu Qinghuang met a person, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old who was as gentle as water.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess." The young man was dressed in white, like a orchid and jade tree, and his etiquette was respectful and upright. "I met the eldest princess in Chu Lingchuan."

The housekeeper and the guard commander Lu Jun were standing outside the door.

Obviously, the appearance of this strange young man was something they should be wary of, but for some unknown reason, they did not take the initiative to drive this young man away. Instead, they acquiesced in allowing him to stay here and wait for the return of the eldest princess.

Chu Qinghuang looked at him silently.

The boy had fair skin, a slender figure, and a beautiful and elegant face. His handsome eyebrows and eye contours had a familiar feeling. He looked clean and indifferent, which brought back memories of her.

"Chu Lingchuan?"

"yes."

"Chu Lingchuan who knows medical skills?"

"yes."

"Chu Lingchuan who is good at business?"

The boy still answered: "Yes."

Three "yes"s in a row made Chu Qinghuang's expression become visibly kinder. The corner of her mouth curled up and she said, "Follow me to the palace."

"yes."

Fu Cang, who was following Chu Qinghuang, pursed his thin lips. From the moment he saw this young man, his expression was a little wary. For some reason, even though there were four servants in Chu Qinghuang's backyard, those four kept saying that they wanted to He competes for favor, but he has no hostility or sense of crisis.

The appearance of this young man made all his nerves tense.

It's just that he has always been good at controlling his emotions. At this time, he narrowed his eyes slightly to hide the hostility in his eyes, and silently followed Chu Qinghuang all the way to Dongshang Pavilion.

The young man followed Chu Qinghuang to the study.

Fucang walked to the door and stopped in silence. When Chu Qinghuang reached out to close the door, she saw that he was standing still and said calmly: "Come in."

Fu Cang pursed his lips, said yes respectfully, and then followed him into the study.

"Your Majesty Chu Lingchuan, please see the little princess." Chu Lingchuan lifted up his robe and knelt down, solemnly performing a salute, "Your Royal Highness, the princess is a thousand years old."

Fu Cang frowned slightly.

Little princess?

"Get up." Chu Qinghuang walked to the chair behind the desk and sat down. "You came very quickly."

Chu Lingchuan said: "I hurried over after receiving His Highness's letter. I didn't dare to delay His Highness's important business."

"Where did you receive the message?"

The young man was silent for a moment and said, "Northern Xinjiang."

"Northern Xinjiang?" Chu Qinghuang frowned, "Did you come all the way from Northern Xinjiang?"

"Yes." Chu Lingchuan lowered his eyebrows, "There is a larger business in Northern Xinjiang. My father ordered his subordinates to handle it personally. He has been staying in Northern Xinjiang for more than a month."

Chu Qinghuang was silent for a moment: "Thank you for your hard work."

"I don't dare to express my sorrow." Chu Lingchuan's words and deeds were all respectful. "It is the duty of subordinates to obey the princess's instructions."

Chu Qinghuang said: "My shadow guard has some health problems, and I want you to come over and take a look at him."

Shadow Guard?

A rare look of astonishment appeared on Chu Lingchuan's handsome and elegant face. He subconsciously glanced at Fucang, who was standing beside Chu Qinghuang. A strange color flashed across his eyes, and then he lowered his eyebrows: "Yes."

He walked to Fucang's side and said calmly: "Please extend your wrist."

Fucang remained silent and did not move.

"Fucang." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "Let him take your pulse."

Fucang pursed his lips, stretched out his wrist without saying a word, and let the young man pinch his life gate.

Time passed little by little.

Chu Qinghuang didn't bother him, just picked up a few books on the desk and looked through them, wondering whose house should be raided next?

Chu Lingchuan hesitated: "He..."

"His name is Fucang, my shadow guard."

"Fucang's body doesn't seem to have any major problems." Chu Lingchuan let go of his wrist and replied truthfully, "It's just that my spleen and stomach are a little bit bad. I'll just take some time to nurse myself back to health. My body has been a bit overdrawn in the past, and I've been resting well recently. It’s okay.”

Chu Qinghuang frowned and said calmly: "Fucang, please go out for a while."

Fucang pursed his lips, said yes, and walked out without saying a word.

The door was closed, Chu Qinghuang frowned slightly: "Is there really no problem in other aspects?"

"My subordinates didn't notice anything unusual."

"Every time he falls asleep alone at night, he trembles from the cold." Chu Qinghuang thought for a moment and told the truth, "Not when he sleeps with me in his arms. Is it possible that this situation is due to poisoning?"

Chu Lingchuan was slightly stunned: "Sleep with His Highness in your arms?"

He just thought that the relationship between the shadow guard and His Highness was a bit unusual, but he didn't expect that it was really unusual. However, a shadow guard... Her Royal Highness has such a distinguished status, how could she be so close to a shadow guard?

Chu Qinghuang nodded: "It's not that he was overstepping the rules, it was because I saw that he was very cold at night, so I took the initiative to let him sleep on the bed, and then somehow..."

The development of the situation was somewhat beyond her expectation.

Chu Lingchuan was silent for a long time.

What he was thinking about was if the men in Dongling knew that the little princess had been taken advantage of by a shadow guard, how would the shadow guard die?

Chu Qinghuang looked at him silently.

Chu Lingchuan came back to his senses temporarily, thought of Chu Qinghuang's question just now, and slowly shook his head: "There is no poisoning. If what His Highness said is true and he was not deliberately pretending, then it is most likely that someone has used the soul-obsessing spell. "

Spirituality?

"My subordinates wrote to ask King Yu." Chu Lingchuan said, "He may be aware of this situation."

King Yu is good at predicting divination and is proficient in fortune telling. He must be able to see the problem with Fucang.
