Xiao Rongxuan's eyes trembled. Seeing Concubine Xue's intention, she was clearly determined to protect Chu Huanyan.

Chu Huanyan is just a mere person, so naturally he is not afraid to do something to her in this palace. Even if he does, he can still suppress her.

But if Concubine Xue gets involved and this matter finally comes to the father, it will be troublesome.

"My Lady, why are you doing this?" Xiao Rongxuan looked at Concubine Xue coldly.

Being so devoted to Chu Huanyan, it seems that Concubine Xu and Xiao Jinzhi have really formed an alliance in all likelihood.

"I also want to say this to the Third Prince. After all, she is His Highness the Prince's fiancée, so why should you be like this?" The smile on Concubine Xue's face disappeared completely, and she looked at Xiao Rongxuan calmly, with a look on her face that she had never seen before. Passed by, a flash of coldness.

It was like a cold wind suddenly blowing in the warm sun, and then quickly dissipated, making people feel like they were delusional.

There was silence in the courtyard. After a long time, Xiao Rongxuan finally withdrew his gaze and took the lead to leave.

When passing by Chu Huanyan, he glanced sideways.

"Miss Chu is really good at moving rescue troops!"

Chu Huanyan raised her lips and looked, "The third prince is so complimentary."

Xiao Rongxuan sneered and left quickly with the few eunuchs who came with him just now.

"Thank you, Concubine Xue." Chu Huanyan stepped forward and bowed to Concubine Xue.

"Miss Chu, you don't have to be polite." Concubine Xue smiled gently, "If the third prince still wants to target you in the future, you can continue to send people to send messages to me."

After saying that, Concubine Xue spoke again: "Your Highness, I have also sent people to inquire about the news. He seems to be just unconscious. It should be nothing serious. However, he is still in Fengyi Palace, and I will accompany you." Go over and take a look.”

Chu Huanyan nodded and said, "Thank you, Madam."

In Fengyi Hall, when she saw Chu Huanyan and Concubine Xue appearing together, the expression on Queen Wei's face froze for a moment, but then returned to normal.

"My sister is here too." Queen Wei smiled and spoke gently.

"I just happened to meet Miss Chu. She was worried about His Highness the Crown Prince and wanted to come and see what was going on, so I came with her." Concubine Xue looked around and said, "Sister, why didn't you see the Third Prince?"

"He didn't come to Fengyi Hall today. Does my sister have something to do with him?"

She had already heard about what happened just now. Unexpectedly, Chu Huanyan actually moved Qingzhi to serve as reinforcements. From the looks of it, Xuan'er was indeed right. Qingzhi, Xiao Jinzhi and the others had probably formed an alliance.

"It's not a big deal. Since he's not here, forget it." Concubine Xue smiled leisurely, which made people a little confused. "Sister, Miss Chu is already here, why not let her go see His Highness the Crown Prince."

Queen Wei glanced at Chu Huanyan and said, "Come here, show Miss Chu the way."

Soon, a palace maid came to take Chu Huanyan to the side hall. Queen Wei planned to go with her, but was stopped by Concubine Xue.

"Sister, let Miss Chu go take a look, and we won't disturb you. Speaking of which, you and I haven't had a good conversation for a long time. Why don't we have a good chat."

"What do you want to talk about, sister?"

Concubine Xue was silent for a moment before continuing: "Sister, are you blaming me in your heart? Do you think I have robbed you of the power to manage the harem?"

"What are you talking about, sister? Since the emperor has given you the power to manage the harem, it means that in his heart, my sister is more suitable than me. Just let it go and do it." Queen Wei said with a smile, her tone clear With a noble sound.

"It seems that sister still blames me in her heart." Concubine Xue sighed softly, "Whether sister believes it or not, I have never wanted the power to manage the harem."

Queen Wei looked at Concubine Xue with cold eyes. In the past, she might have believed her, but now looking at this sister, she always felt that something had changed.

But that's right, how can a person remain unchanged in this harem?

"Sister, don't you believe it?" Seeing that Queen Wei didn't speak, Concubine Xue asked.

"It's not that I don't believe it, but if the right to manage the harem is not what my sister wants, then what does my sister want?" Queen Wei looked at Concubine Xue intently, with a hint of ridicule in her eyes.

Concubine Xue greeted this gaze calmly, and after a long time she smiled and spoke softly.

"What my sister wants...is fairness."

……

On the other side, the palace maid took Chu Huanyan into the side hall and then left.

As soon as Chu Huanyan entered, she saw Xiao Jinzhi lying on the bed. She asked Xian Yue to stay outside while Chu Huanyan walked to the bedside.

Seeing that the other party's expression was calm, as if he was sleeping, and although there was a wound on his hand, it was not serious, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Jinzhi, Xiao Jinzhi!" Chu Huanyan called softly twice, but the person on the bed didn't respond at all.

Chu Huanyan frowned and hesitated for a moment. When she wanted to go to the imperial doctor to ask what was going on, her hand was grabbed as soon as she turned around.

When he turned around again, he met Xiao Jinzhi's smiling eyes.

"you……"

"Shh." Xiao Jinzhi made a gesture of silence. After Chu Huanyan stopped, he lowered his voice and said.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"What's going on?" Chu Huanyan asked with a frown.

Xiao Jinzhi gave a brief summary of the situation, "I was a little careless. The drug on the hairpin was really powerful. Although I suppressed it with my internal strength, I was still unconscious for a while."

"Then when did you wake up?"

"About half an hour ago." Xiao Jinzhi sat up from the bed and looked at Chu Huanyan, "But when I pretended to be unconscious and fell down early, I saw Queen Wei opening a mechanism and there was a secret room in her bedroom. "

"You want to explore the secret room?" Chu Huanyan instantly understood what Xiao Jinzhi meant.

"That's right." Xiao Jinzhi nodded, "Since it was Queen Wei who knew the same thing back then, according to her temperament, she might not leave something as a bargaining chip for future negotiations with Emperor Xiao. Of course, this is just mine. Guess, maybe in that situation, she couldn't get any evidence at all."

"Now that we've discovered it, there's no harm in going over there to explore, but that's Queen Wei's bedroom. If we want to get in, it might not be that simple." Chu Huanyan said thoughtfully.

It seemed that Xiao Jinzhi was clearly awake but pretended to be comatose because he wanted to stay in Fengyi Hall to look for opportunities.

"It doesn't matter, I have my own way." Xiao Jinzhi said.

Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows and looked at him, lowered her voice, and said with a deliberately tense expression: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very confident, but are you not afraid that I will fall into Xiao Rongxuan's trap and be manipulated by him to threaten you?"
