Gu Zhaozhao got angry when he mentioned King Yi, and kept babbling all the way, even reaching the lobby but still unwilling to step in.

He insisted on pulling Aunt Jinxiu to stand at the entrance of the lobby, and finished talking about all the grievances and grievances between her and Xie Chengyan and the prince before giving up, and some untrue content might as well have been embellished.

Xie Chengyan looked unhurried and did not urge her.

Xie Chengyan leaned against the wall, folded his arms around his chest, and stared at her with a playful smile on his face.

Occasionally, I heard her speak exaggeratedly and raise her eyebrows. When I heard Gu Zhaozhao's pause, I knew that she had forgotten the words, and I reminded her aloud.

His Royal Highness and Bai Chuwei were sitting in front of the desk and drinking tea. Before they saw Gu Zhaozhao and Xie Chengyan, they heard Gu Zhaozhao's chattering voice.

Hearing that she had been arguing outside for more than ten minutes, the prince didn't see the younger sister.

Gu Zhaozhao, Xie Chengyan, and Aunt Jinxiu stood side by side, quietly walking towards the prince.

Seeing the look on Xie Chengyan's face, the prince had a clue in his heart, it seems that Xie Chengyan and the others also gained something today.

Coincidentally, the prince also found some clues today, so it seems that things have become better again.

Thinking of this, the prince felt a little more relaxed, and began to make fun of the two young lovers again.

"Ayan, just spoil her hard, you will spoil her sooner or later." The prince put down his teacup and said to Xie Chengyan.

Xie Chengyan just smiled, noncommittal to the prince's words.

If he didn't reply, it was Xie Chengyan's greatest respect to His Highness the Crown Prince.

The prince still knows who spoiled Gu Zhaozhao so lawlessly.

After teasing Xie Chengyan, the prince turned the topic to Gu Zhaozhao.

"Little sister is having a good day, and she still has time to chat outside, unlike my brother who is too busy to touch the ground."

"Hmph." Gu Zhaozhao snorted coldly, "In my opinion, brother's life is as enviable as a god's, and he can spend all day with Brother Bai."

"Cough, it's okay, don't talk anymore, you guys sit down and let's start talking about business." The prince quickly stopped the topic.

Gu Zhaozhao chuckled inwardly, this His Royal Highness is really addicted to food, he can't afford it and likes Ba Ba.

After taking his seat, the Prince glanced at the three people sitting across from him, and stayed on Aunt Jinxiu for a while longer.

"Let's talk." His Royal Highness sat upright. , and returned to the appearance of a gentleman.

Xie Chengyan is very familiar with His Highness the Prince's way of doing things, so he naturally knows what the Prince's words mean.

Xie Chengyan pointed to Aunt Jinxiu beside him and said, "This is Aunt Jinxiu who has been serving my mother and concubine all the time in Beiji."

Holding Aunt Jinxiu's hand, Xie Chengyan whispered in her ear, "Auntie, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you don't have to worry about it, you can tell what happened before."

"Hmm." Aunt Jinxiu nodded, holding Xie Chengyan's hand a little tighter.

The voice of His Highness the Crown Prince was so familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

However, her thoughts were quickly rejected by her. She must have misheard. Beiji is so far away from Yi Kingdom, how could she have heard the voice of Yi Kingdom's prince.

What's more, she could feel that Xie Chengyan had a lot of trust in the prince, and he seemed to be a credible person.

Aunt Jinxiu paused and said, "If you go back to His Highness, the old slave has been sent to Yi Kingdom for a year."

"To tell you what His Majesty thinks, the life force that His Majesty is looking for comes from the hand of this old slave."

"Oh? Then do you know what are the remaining eight toxins in the emperor's body?" Bai Chuwei asked the most urgent question right now.

"I don't know." Aunt Jinxiu shook her head.

She only made the Vitality Powder by herself, and did not make other poisons. As for the eight kinds of poisons this person asked about, she naturally didn't know.

"Ah?" Gu Zhaozhao looked at Aunt Jinxiu in disbelief. How could she not know that Gu Zhaozhao still expected to take advantage of this wave and go home directly.

"Auntie said she stayed in Yiguo for a year, and she didn't do anything else for such a long time except making vitality powder?" Gu Zhaozhao continued to ask without giving up.

"In addition to making vitality powder..." Aunt Jinxiu shook her head and then nodded, and Gu Zhaozhao's heart also fluctuated.

After thinking for a while, Aunt Jinxiu finally said, "In addition to making medicine myself, someone came to me to learn medicine."

"Don't worry, aunt. Think carefully about the characteristics of that person? And what did she ask you for advice?" Xie Chengyan guided her aunt to recall the previous events.

"It's a woman, her voice is soft and soft, she doesn't sound very old, and she has the faint fragrance of gardenia on her body." Aunt Jinxiu recalled.

Gardenia?Gu Zhaozhao also had this smell, and Xie Chengyan faintly felt that things might be far more complicated than they imagined.

"Then how did she meet you? Is there anything special?" Xie Chengyan asked.

"There's nothing special about it. She usually comes here by herself without being accompanied by others."

"Then think about it again, what did she ask you?" Xie Chengyan continued to ask.

Aunt Jinxiu frowned slightly, trying hard to remember something. "Gansui, roasted licorice, aconitum, pinellia..." She struggled to utter a few words.

"Veratum, salvia..." Aunt Jinxiu frowned even more tightly.

Bai Chuwei looked at Aunt Jinxiu very eagerly, as long as she could remember, the emperor would be saved.

After a while, Bai Chuwei didn't get the answer he wanted.

In the end, Aunt Jinxiu loosened her brows, shook her head and said, "Your Highness, forgive me, it's been too long, I really can't remember."

"Oh," Bai Chu sighed slightly, and then comforted everyone, "It's okay, at least we know six now, it's better than knowing nothing at all."

"These medicines are not toxic in themselves, but they are mutually reinforcing medicines. If they are taken together, the consequences will be disastrous." Bai Chu shook his head slightly and said.

Presumably, the murderer took advantage of the fact that the medicinal materials were non-toxic, so he put them in the emperor's diet in small quantities and many times, so that no one noticed.

After a long time, a certain amount of toxins accumulated in the body at night, which was then triggered by the vitality powder, which led to the current situation.

The person who poisoned was really scheming and malicious.

Fourth prince, you are worthy of it. If you hadn't experienced Gu Zhaozhao personally, you would never have imagined that there are such cold-hearted people in the world.
