Suburban woods.

"Dad, what are you doing? Why are you running away?" Chu Yanzhi didn't understand Chu Fengyuan's behavior.

Chu Yunni is still in the capital. How could the father and son abandon her and run for their lives?

"If you don't leave now, will you wait to die in the capital?"

"Dad, I don't know why you say that, but I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will give us justice. Let's go back and find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

"Snapped--"

Chu Fengyuan slapped his stupid son on the face.

"Can't you see it? The prince wants you and me to die, and everyone in our Chu family to die. How can you not see it? If you go back now, you will die in vain!"

"He wants the military power of our Chu family. He has already sent people to control the lifeline of the frontier. Now we can only go back to the frontier and regain the military power to survive. Do you know that?"

Chu Yanzhi was stunned by Chu Fengyuan. He shook his head, not believing it at all: "Impossible, Dad, there must be some misunderstanding between you. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not that kind of person. He would not do this to our Chu family."

He didn't believe it, he absolutely didn't believe it, there must be a misunderstanding here.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entrusted him with an important task, and he fought against all the court officials to protect him, and even looked for a miracle doctor to heal his injuries. The Crown Prince is a good man, and he has always been working for the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince could not possibly treat him like this, nor could he treat their Chu family like this!

"I'm going to go back and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for clarification!" Chu Yanzhi waved Chu Fengyuan's hand away, turned around and ran towards the capital.

Chu Fengyuan tried to stop him, but failed.

the other side.

In order to prevent Nan's father and mother from worrying, Nan Jiamu placed Nan Yuan in the house he bought outside. He turned to look at Chu Zhixu.

Chu Zhixu walked forward quickly and said, "Here I come."

He bandaged Nan Yuan's wound and took her pulse. His face instantly darkened.

"What's going on?" Nan Jiamu asked.

Chu Zhixu came back to his senses and said, "Heart-eating powder, a poison from Tianqi. It messes up one's mind. If you take it three times, you will die of depression. Even gods can't save you."

"Although she only took it twice, and the third dose was very light, she has no will to survive now. We can only detoxify her first and see what happens next."

If there really is a problem, he would have said it. Nan Yuan is not an inflexible person, so how could she and Gu Jingheng end up in such a mess? It turns out that someone is behind this!

When Nan Jiamu heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "Apocalypse's poison?"

"Then detoxify!"

"To detoxify, you need to know the formula of the poison. How can you just take it out?" Chu Zhixu said, "The fastest way is to find the person who poisoned you and force him to hand over the antidote."

"I will use acupuncture to protect her heart meridian first. As for finding the antidote..." Chu Zhixu sighed. He could only use acupuncture first.

Nan Jiamu's expression changed and he turned and ran out.

"Where are you going?" Chu Zhixu shouted in confusion when he saw Nan Jiamu leaving.

dungeon.

Inside the dark prison, the smell of blood filled the air, thick and choking.

"You have been following me for twenty years, right?" Gu Jingheng glanced at Ah Qi.

But he actually colluded with Chu Yunni, and said that Chu Yunni was more suitable to be the Crown Princess. He even teamed up with Nan Yuan's maid Yue Ran to secretly give Nan Yuan two doses of poison.

Before he died, he even tricked Nan Yuan in his suicide note.

The paper on which the suicide note was written had been soaked in poison in advance. Nan Yuan often held the suicide note, so the poison seeped into it, making it impossible to guard against!

What a good show. The people they colluded with were the ones they trusted the most. No wonder they couldn't find out anything and no wonder they were deceived so badly.

Ah Qi was tortured until he was covered in blood. He collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, gasping for breath.

"……Yes."

"Your subordinate... I do not ask the master to spare my life, I only ask the master to consider the overall situation. Princess Yun Ni is a genius and will definitely be able to help the master..." Ah Qi could not say the rest of the words. His eyes were wide open, his pupils were dilated, and his mouth was open, but he could not close it.

Gu Jingheng glanced at him indifferently and said, "Throw it out and feed it to the dogs."

Gu Jingheng wiped the blood off his hands, looked at Eleven, and said, "Give Chu Yunni all the punishments, but don't let her die. I am still useful."

Neither the mastermind nor the accomplice can escape.

"Yes." Eleven nodded in agreement, walked to Ah Qi, grabbed his collar, dragged him out and fed him to the dogs.

"Cough cough..."

Gu Jingheng suddenly spat out blood again. His body was shaky and he was supported by Hua Qichuan.

"You should take a break." Hua Qichuan said.

But Gu Jingheng didn't care. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked, "Where's Nan Yuan?"

Hua Qichuan hesitated for a moment, but still told the situation: "The current situation depends on whether we can find an antidote."

After hearing this, Gu Jingheng clenched his right hand into a fist, with veins bulging.

"Eleven, go find the antidote." Gu Jingheng's voice was unusually sinister, as if it had been tempered by ice.

Someone actually poisoned Nan Yuan right under his nose. This is unforgivable!

"Yes, master." Eleven turned around and went out.

He looked at Hua Qichuan again: "Help me to hunt down the secret agents of Apocalypse. The poison of Apocalypse must have come from them. They must have the antidote."

Hua Qichuan nodded. This was still the Gu Jingheng he knew. Even if he was betrayed by his confidant, he could adjust quickly and come up with a solution.

Gu Jingheng wanted to visit Nan Yuan for three consecutive days, but was stopped by Nan Jiamu every time.

In order to find the antidote, the capital was placed under martial law, people were in panic, and there were many complaints from the common people. Ministers and even the emperor began to put pressure on Gu Jingheng to lift the alert.

But he didn't listen to any of it.

In an instant, the reputation accumulated over more than 20 years took a sharp turn for the worse.

Instead, *** appeased his ministers and his reputation became even better than before.

He put aside the affairs of state and stayed with Nan Yuan all day long, and no one's advice was of any use.

There has been nothing but bad news in recent days. The antidote cannot be found, rumors cannot be stopped, and Gu Jingheng's position as the crown prince is so unstable for the first time. Even the emperor who was avoiding the winter in Fengcheng was alarmed and rushed back overnight to take charge of the situation.

All the news was bad, except for Shen Zhaixing waking up, which was a good thing.

Prince's Mansion.

Shen Zhaixing's voice was still a little weak. He looked around and asked, "Why does this hell look so familiar?"

"You are not dead yet! The King of Hell will not take you away!" Chu Zhixu packed up the medicine box and then removed all the silver needles from Shen Zhaixing's acupuncture points.

Shen Zhaixing reached out and slapped himself. After feeling the pain, he finally came to his senses.

It's not a dream, he is really still alive.

"Aheng..."

"Take care of yourself first, and we can deal with the rest later." Chu Zhixu persuaded. Gu Jingheng's side was a mess, and Shen Zhaixing's current situation was not suitable for worrying too much.

"But I let Chu Fengyuan go. Chu Fengyuan had been bribed by Tianqi a long time ago. He wanted to meet the young master of Tianqi. I got this information out of you, but I didn't have the time to tell you, you..." Shen Zhaixing looked very worried. He was afraid that important things would be delayed because of him.
