Before dawn the next day, servants and maids from various families gathered here at the gate, arguing fiercely with the imperial guards.

"It's just a concubine who disappeared. Could it be that my wife is here to wait for the final result? Taixuguan is not a safe place right now. If my wife is injured because of this, can you bear it?"

"They are all dignitaries, but I have no time to spend time with you!"

The imperial guards rushing to the front blushed with anxiety, but they didn't dare to say much. The people in front of them were all served by the wives of the aristocratic families. When beating a dog, it depends on the owner. They dare not act rashly.

Just at this moment, there was another loud sound of footsteps in the distance.

Seeing Chu Yunyi who was the leader, these arrogant servants and maids all shut their mouths.

"The bandits have not been captured yet, maybe they will attack on the way down the mountain. If you want to leave at this time, I will not stop you, but if something happens on the way, don't ask me for help!"

Chu Yunyi glanced coldly, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to say any more.

Then, several figures walked out from the path not far away.

Taoist Priest Yuxu is like a little chicken, held in the hands of a tall man, his usual immortal demeanor is gone.

"Who are you! How dare you kidnap Taoist Priest Yuxu!"

The man raised his head, and a handsome face that was enough to make one's heart tremble appeared in everyone's sight.

He threw Taoist Priest Yuxu on the ground, and Taoist Priest Yuxu, who was bound by five flowers, was extremely weak, panting heavily, and under his gray beard was a face flushed because of difficulty breathing.

Seeing Chu Yunyi, he seemed to have seen a life-saving straw: "His Royal Highness, help me! This person suddenly appeared, and he arrested Pindao without any explanation! It's really..."

"This old Taoist intends to murder the county lord, an unforgivable crime!" Xie Yan said coldly, his handsome face was as snow-covered as clouds, and no one dared to look directly at it.

"Nonsense! How could I murder the county lord!" Daoist Yuxu yelled loudly, "You kid is talking nonsense! Your Highness Duan Wang must be the master for me!"

Chu Yunyi didn't speak, but he stared straight at Xie Yan with dark and unpredictable eyes.

Whether it was the appearance or the behavior of this guard, he felt weird.

People like this stay by Gu Ning's side... Seeing this face, Chu Yunyi became even more vigilant.

It is an unspoken secret for the noble daughters of the clan to raise male favorites, but those son-in-laws and county horses are not on the stage, so he is a dignified son, so naturally he does not want to suffer such humiliation.

The first time he saw Xie Yan, he felt weird.

"Your Highness!"

Suddenly, behind Xie Yan, a delicate and fragile female voice sounded.

Gu Ning leaned against Chun Yu's arms, her peach blossom eyes filled with tears, she was very pitiful.

She kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a veil, and said aggrievedly: "I had a nightmare last night, and I woke up in the middle of the night, but found that my heart was beating violently. After the accompanying imperial doctor took my pulse, I found that I had signs of poisoning! I came to Taixu It was a good time to watch! Why did you get poisoned today?"

She pointed at Taoist Priest Yuxu's nose and cursed: "This old Taoist must have poisoned him! I brought all the poison!"

While speaking, the maid behind her came forward with a pot of peonies in full bloom.

Gu Ning's slender fingers pointed at this pot of peonies: "He just poisoned the flowers!"

In Daoist Yuxu's eyes, a guilty light flashed quickly.

It was found out!

Gu Ning was emotional, and his pale face blushed twice due to anger.

Seeing that Chu Yunyi didn't answer for a long time, she quickly walked up to Chu Yunyi with small steps: "Your Highness, do you want to let the person who harmed me get away with it?"

Chu Yunyi frowned: "Are you sure that this flower was poisoned?"

"This is what the imperial physician said!" Gu Ning said confidently, "The imperial physician Li is right here, ask him if you don't believe me!"

Dr. Li walked out of the crowd cautiously with his back hunched over: "I accidentally got an ancient book, which recorded a lost poison called Spring Breeze Drunk, which can kill people silently. "

As soon as these words came out, Taoist Priest Yuxu's face turned pale.

"It is recorded in ancient books that spring breeze drunk is colorless and odorless, and there is no obvious trace of poison testing with silver needles alone, but as long as it is used as nourishment and buried in the roots of peony flowers every day, this peony can become a poison that kills people without blood. ! This peony was cultivated with the intoxication of the spring breeze!"

Doctor Li was very clear and organized, and introduced the characteristics of Chunfengzui one by one without any panic.

In addition, Taoist Priest Yuxu's expression was different, Chu Yunyi was completely aware of it.

"Not only that." Xie Yan added lightly, "There is a dark room in this old man's room, and there is an account book in it, which records impressively who he sold Chunfengzui to over the years!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of those ladies and ladies watching the excitement were different.

Some are guilty, some are panic, and some are furious.

"Then there is a record of Mrs. Zhenyuan Hou's Sheng family!"

With a full face, the woman squeezed out from the crowd.

Gu Ning blinked, isn't this Qin Feiyu who has a good relationship with Princess Dachang?

Qin Feiyu stared at the pot of peonies with anger on his face, as if he wanted to poke a hole out of it.

Gu Ning secretly winked at Chunyu.

The next moment, Chunyu opened the account book and read the list smoothly.

For a moment, the expressions on everyone's faces were wonderful!

"There is her!"

"I was depressed some time ago, it really is this bitch who hurt me!"

"The Jiang family..."

"enough!"

Chu Yunyi spoke immediately and interrupted Chunyu.

With a gloomy expression, he glanced at Xie Yan coldly: "Sure enough, he is the person that General Pei valued, with outstanding abilities, and he even managed to find out this account book."

"It's all because of the well-trained general Pei." Xie Yan cupped his hands.

Gu Ning was beside him, opened his eyes wide in ignorance, and asked innocently: "Why don't you read it? Isn't it good to let everyone know how many vicious people there are?"

Qin Feiyu winked at the side, and pointedly said: "If you continue to read it, the whole capital will be turned upside down!"

Gu Ning lowered his head in disappointment: "So that's the case."

Chu Yunyi was full of words, but he didn't know where to start. He stared at Gu Ning, and many thoughts emerged in his heart.

But the eyes he met were too clear, and he couldn't find any useful information from them.

After a while, he said with a livid face: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give everyone an explanation."

"Take him away!"

"Yes!"

When Gu Ning saw Chu Yunyi leave, the ignorance in his eyes gradually faded away.

Suddenly, a voice rang in her ear: "What? You can rest assured that he will take Daoist Yuxu away?"

Turning his head, Qin Feiyu was holding his arms around his chest, looking at her intently.

Gu Ning blinked, his face was full of innocence: "What is Miss Qin talking about?"

"Stop pretending." Qin Feiyu put his arms around her shoulders and whispered in her ear, "Your fox tail is showing!"

"After you winked just now, that maid of yours only started to read the name! I saw it clearly there!"

Qin Feiyu shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect it, they all missed it. Not only is Changning County Lord not an idiot, but he is a wise man who has strategized!"

Hearing this, the smile on Gu Ning's lips faded: "What does Miss Qin want?"

Qin Feiyu clapped his hands and smiled heartily.

She leaned over to Gu Ning's ear, and said in a very low voice: "When you are scheming, take me with you, I also want to ruin one's reputation!"

"Who?"

"Madam Zhenyuanhou." Qin Feiyu smiled like a cat stealing fish, "She usually pretends to be a good wife and mother in front of others, and takes good care of me as a stepdaughter, but in my room, there are several pots worth Where is the golden peony flower!"

Gu Ning glanced at her, thinking of what Chunyu had said to her before.

Zhenyuanhou's Mansion is indeed full of tricks.

"Okay, I'll help you." Gu Ning nodded slightly.

Since she is someone close to the eldest princess, it doesn't matter if she trusts her once.

……

The courtyard where Daoist Yuxu lives is very remote, he euphemistically said that he wants to practice alchemy in a secluded place, but looking at it today, although the courtyard is not big, the furnishings and decorations are all treasures.

Chu Yunyi's eyelids twitched, and he looked around the yard with a livid face.

There are many things he is familiar with!

Daoist Yuxu was thrown on the ground, his face was already bruised and purple.

But when he saw Chu Yunyi, he said loudly: "His Royal Highness Duan Wang, Taixu Temple is a name bestowed by the emperor, how dare I do something foolish?"

"What did you say?" Chu Yunyi's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He stared at Taoist Priest Yuxu, a guess emerged from his heart.

Daoist Priest Yuxu had a flattering smile on his face. He leaned against Chu Yunyi's feet and said in a low voice, "Actually, this is what he ordered! If you don't believe me, you can go back to the palace and ask! I don't mind How dare you talk nonsense!"

For a time, those neglected details were all connected in series.

He squeezed his hands tightly, and asked sharply: "He is also the one who asked you to sell Chunfengzui?"

"This..." Daoist Yuxu choked up suddenly, his eyes rolled wildly, and he didn't know how to make up a reasonable explanation.

But after meeting Chu Yunyi's complicated eyes, he relaxed again, and said very calmly: "Of course it is to earn some money. Although we are cultivators, we don't need money for food and clothing?"

Chu Yunyi pinched his skirt and lifted him to the same height as himself.

With both feet off the ground, Daoist Yuxu began to breathe rapidly, and his face gradually turned red: "Your Highness...what I said...everything I said is true!"

"This king knows what you said is true." Chu Yunyi's eyes were dark and full of hostility, "But it is also because of this...you must die!"

He casually threw Taoist Priest Yuxu on the ground, and said calmly, "Deal with him."

The confidant stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "The external rhetoric..."

"Interrogated many times, he refused to tell the truth, and committed suicide by taking poison."

"Yes!"

Daoist Yuxu froze on the spot, and after realizing it, he yelled sadly: "You can't treat me like this! You are not afraid that I will tell all the truth..."

The attendant knocked him out with a knife in his hand.

Standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, Chu Yunyi coldly watched Taoist Priest Yuxu being dragged out like a dead dog.
