As soon as the emperor left, Gu Qingqiu, who was supposed to be resting in the side hall, walked in briskly.

Seeing Gu Qingqiu, the Empress Dowager's eyes flashed a ruthless look.

But soon, she completely suppressed the killing intent in her heart.

"What do you want? What did you do to the Emperor?"

"It's just adding something to the tea that Father drank." Gu Qingqiu said lightly.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes widened suddenly: "You are crazy!"

Her voice suddenly raised: "Chen Daochang next to the emperor is..."

"Emperor Grandmother, don't worry, I have already made complete preparations, and no one will find out that I have tampered with it." Gu Qingqiu stretched out his hand, and pressed the Queen Mother's body that was about to stand up.

Her actions like this made the Empress Dowager look even more ugly.

I don't know if it's an illusion or what, but the queen mother always feels that there is something strange about Gu Qingqiu.

For some unknown reason, the normally pretty face had become thinner. From this point of view, there was something strange everywhere.

This thought came to the Queen Mother's mind, but Gu Qingqiu smiled.

This smile made the empress dowager feel even more disobedient.

"What on earth are you planning?" The queen mother used stern words to hide the uneasiness in her heart.

Gu Qingqiu lowered his eyes, and said softly: "In a few days, you will know, Grandmother."

The queen mother took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter with the prince? Why did he faint again?"

"The prince's health is getting worse and worse." Gu Qingqiu showed a mournful expression, which to her could be said to have been easily manipulated.

The Empress Dowager did not suspect him, but thought that Chu Yunyi had a physical problem, and hurriedly asked: "Is what Xiao Yuanzheng said true?"

Seeing Gu Qingqiu nod his head slightly, the Queen Mother only felt that her eyes went dark.

She clasped the armrest tightly so that she could maintain her emotional stability.

And Gu Qingqiu said sadly: "And I invited other imperial physicians to see His Highness, and they said... that His Highness was poisoned!"

When the queen mother heard this, she couldn't control the anger in her heart anymore: "Tiger poison doesn't eat its own son, yet he actually did such a cruel thing to his own son!"

While talking, Gu Qingqiu cried softly.

Seeing this, the queen mother took a deep breath: "We must hurry up!"

The Empress Dowager's eyes were bright: "Before the emperor makes Concubine Chen's child the crown prince,... all these matters must be resolved!"

Once Chu Yunyi passed away, how would Chu Yunyi's child compare with the favored Concubine Chen's child?The emperor is afraid that he will get rid of the little grandson for the concubine Chen's child!

The queen mother regards the little grandson as her darling and her hope, so naturally she will not watch all this happen.

Seeing that everything was well prepared, Gu Qingqiu said lightly: "Grandmother, I'm afraid I need your help with something."

When Gu Qingqiu said this, his face showed uneasiness: "His Royal Highness did not know what he asked Mr. Zhuang to do before, and he even got into trouble with Dali Temple. Just a few days ago, Mr. Zhuang disappeared. I am worried..."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately sneered.

What does it mean that the prince asked Mr. Zhuang to do something?From her point of view, it was clear that Gu Qingqiu and Mr. Zhuang were secretly doing some shady things. Now that Mr. Zhuang was taken away by Dali Temple, Gu Qingqiu had nowhere to turn for help, so he found himself.

The sarcasm in the queen mother's eyes was too obvious, Gu Qingqiu lowered his head, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

The old poisonous woman!Sure enough, it's not easy to lie!

"Okay." The Queen Mother sneered, "It's better to open the skylight and speak honestly. Aijia is not an unreasonable person. What do you want to do? You might as well tell Aijia first."

Gu Qingqiu lowered his eyes, and whispered: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just...in order to test a poison, Mr. Zhuang arrested twenty people in the Third Prince's Mansion."

The Empress Dowager was still sneering just now, but now her anger kept rising.

"Is this just a trivial matter in your opinion?" The queen mother gritted her teeth and said, "Once this matter gets out, let alone you! Even Aijia will be punished." implicated!"

"It is precisely because of this that I came to ask the imperial grandmother for help." Gu Qingqiu said softly, "Now, no one can help me and His Highness except the imperial grandmother!"

"For His Highness's reputation, Mr. Zhuang must die!"

Gu Qingqiu's last words made the Queen Mother narrow her eyes.

……

It was night, and the Dali Temple was pitch-black, only the prison was heavily guarded.

These officers and soldiers looked serious, and if there was any disturbance, they would immediately act, and they were bound to sweep away all hidden dangers.

When people hiding in the dark saw this scene, even though they had already made preparations in their hearts, their hearts still sank.

The task is indeed tricky.

The leader gently waved to the right, and the next moment, there was a rush of footsteps on the right.

Immediately afterwards, several men in black rushed out, aiming at the prison.

The soldiers immediately moved into action and surrounded several people.

But at this moment, dozens of masked men in black descended from the sky. They had a clear division of labor. Some of them stopped the soldiers, and some of them rushed towards the prison.

"Not good! They want to rob the prison!"

With a sharp shout, lights lit up everywhere in Dali Temple.

And those men in black were not afraid of these lights at all, and rushed towards the sky prison one after another. They had only one goal, and that was to get rid of Mr. Zhuang!

The Dali Temple was in chaos. The men in black were all masters. They were determined to die. Those soldiers were no match for them at all. In just a quarter of an hour, they rushed to the deepest part of the dungeon.

In the dark prison, where you can't see your fingers, the man in black has already made preparations, lit the fire box, and went straight to the cell where Mr. Zhuang was held.

Just as the information provided, Mr. Zhuang sat in the cell with disheveled hair, and when he saw them, his eyes showed joy: "But the princess asked you to save..."

Before Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, a sharp sword pierced his chest.

The man in black moved neatly, and retreated immediately after confirming that Mr. Zhuang was no longer breathing.

They came and went quickly, leaving behind only one corpse in the dark prison, and a dozen or so nondescript corpses outside, and none were left alive.

Lord Huang came out from the dark place, looking at the corpses all over the floor, his eyes were dim.

"Is there any movement in the dark prison?"

"They seem to have succeeded." His confidant whispered, "But they are guarded by the Pei family, and our people can't get in."

Master Huang wanted to say something, but finally sighed softly: "Forget it, let them go."

"The Pei family is loyal and patriotic, and will never do anything to betray the state of Chu!" Master Huang said in a low voice, "It must be a major event that is critical to the survival of the state of Chu!"

In the dark prison at this time.

Gu Ning extinguished the colorless and odorless incense that was burning on the side, and the corpse that was lying on the ground slowly got up at this moment.

He slowly tore off the camouflage on his face, revealing an extremely handsome face.

Seeing this, Gu Ning snorted lightly.

"Thank you, my lord."

Her eccentric words did not make Xie Yan dissatisfied, on the contrary, Xie Yan lowered his eyes and walked to her side very naturally.

At this time, Xie Yan's face was still covered with stains, so he looked very cute.

And Gu Ning's eyes couldn't stop looking at Xie Yan, her small movements naturally couldn't hide from Xie Yan's eyes.

The smile in Xie Yan's eyes flashed, he stood beside Gu Ning, staring at Gu Ning with a pair of deep phoenix eyes.

Gu Ning blushed slightly, and said angrily: "What do you think I am doing?"

"I haven't seen Ning'er for a long time." Xie Yan's voice was soft, but mixed with a trace of grievance.

Gu Ning was stared at by Xie Yan's eyes, and her guilt suddenly rose in her heart. She actually began to think carefully about whether she really did something wrong.

But soon, all her mind was shocked by Xie Yan's words.

"Second Uncle found his daughter, and it is said that she is in the palace."

Hearing this, Gu Ning opened his eyes wide: "In the palace?"

The rules of the imperial city are strict, as long as it is not a concubine, let alone pregnant and giving birth, even the court ladies and eunuchs will be sentenced to death unless it is...

A thought popped up in Gu Ning's mind, and he quickly shook his head, throwing this terrible guess out of his mind.

Who knew that at this moment, Xie Yan nodded: "That's what you guessed."

Hearing this, Gu Ning's beautiful eyes stared straight at Xie Yan: "The person who had a relationship with Lu Yuanyou is now the emperor's concubine?"

Following Xie Yan's slight nod, a lot of princesses popped up in Gu Ning's mind as candidates.

Just counting according to time, there is only one princess...

Gu Ning quietly spit out four words: "Princess Leyang."

"Ning'er is really smart." Xie Yan gently rubbed Gu Ning's head, such a close move did not arouse Gu Ning's vigilance.

She has long been used to being intimate with Xie Yan, and even leaned into Xie Yan's arms when the familiar aura came from Xie Yan.

Noticing Gu Ning's small movements, the smile in Xie Yan's eyes deepened.

When Gu Ning connected Princess Leyang with Lu Yuanyou, an idea popped up in his mind, and he looked at Xie Yan with complicated eyes: "You said... He tried so hard to obstruct us, except for worrying about Pei Apart from the great family background, do you still have... the desire to betroth your own daughter to you?"

The smile in Xie Yan's eyes didn't stay for a moment longer, just because Gu Ning's words dissipated instantly.

He frowned, and was about to tell Gu Ning that he had no such intentions, but Gu Ning's heart was filled with new and old hatred.

Gu Ning shook off Xie Yan's hand angrily, and said coldly: "Go sweetly with your good cousin!"

The dungeon was quiet again, and the brothers Yue Ming and Yue Rong, who hid in the dark and had a panoramic view of all this, wished to merge their bodies with the wall, so that they could avoid Xie Yan's anger.
