After a moment, the two flew away.

In the darkness, a pair of bony fingers gently pushed aside the green leaves blocking the view and swiftly jumped down from a lush banyan tree.

Not far behind him, a dark shadow also fell.

"Master, this man will be a nuisance if he stays in the East Factory. Why don't we go and take him away..."

There was murderous intent in Yishang's cold eyes.

The moon was covered by floating clouds, and the handsome face of the man in the black robe seemed to be shrouded in dark blue mist, like a dream, revealing a mysterious aura.

The man stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the direction where the red fox left, with an elegant smile, and said, "He can kill people for us, why are you so anxious?"

Yi Shang realized that he had said too much, and a chill ran down his spine. He immediately bowed his head and knelt down, "It was my recklessness."

The man slowly took out a token from his pocket and threw it over.

Yi Shang immediately reached out to take it. Even in the dim light, he could clearly recognize the token.

It’s the guard token of the Fourth Prince’s mansion!

"Now that the prince has woken up, give him a gift."

The man's voice came faintly from the night wind, and his smiling eyes were mixed with a layer of bloodthirsty beauty. As he wandered in this desolate courtyard, it became even more frightening.

Yi Shang understood what he meant, put the token in his arms, bowed, and flew towards the East Palace.

In the courtyard, the tall and slender figure of the man presented an eerie tranquility.

The cold moonlight gradually brushed away the dark clouds, leaving behind scattered pale shadows.

The cold eyes hidden under the black robe looked at the red gold bracelet that was still taking shape in his hand, and he frowned in thought.

Always feel like something is missing?

His young lady is very noble and such a monotonous color is really not worthy of her.

It’s time to add something. What should I add?

East Palace.

The prince had just drunk the third dose of detoxifying medicine with the help of the palace maid.

The man has become much more sober, but his spirit is still greatly damaged by the poison, and he will take some time to recover.

The eunuch trotted into the bedroom and reported: "Your Highness, the East Factory official wants to see you."

Jun Qizheng raised his eyes and glanced at the eunuch who bowed his head respectfully, waved away the servants beside him, and said weakly: "Everyone leave, call him in."

"Yes."

After a while, Jun Qizheng saw a man in black robe walking towards him.

Shan Qi bowed and said, "Your Highness, are you feeling better?"

Jun Qizheng's face turned pale, and it was unclear whether it was because he was angry or the poison still remained.

The tone of his voice was very choking: "I can't die. I didn't expect that bitch had planted the seeds of evil so early and wanted to kill me."

He snorted and laughed, "A slut who used her beauty to please men died too easily. I should have torn out her tendons and bones and left her corpse exposed in the wilderness!"

Seeing that he was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and wanted to dig up the dirt and whip his corpse, Shanqi's eyes moved slightly. After a moment of silence, he said, "Your Highness, do you really think that a concubine who has no support can be so capable as to play with your Highness and the Queen?"

Jun Qizheng's expression changed, and he frowned and stared at Shanqi, "What do you mean by that?"

Shan Qi glanced at Jun Qizhen, slowly lowered his eyes, took out a golden token from his arms and presented it to him.

Jun Qizheng took it without knowing why, and flipped it over. Suddenly, his fingertips paused and he said in a deep voice, "This is... This is the guard token of Fourth Brother's mansion!"

He raised his eyes to look at Shanqi for a moment, with a vague guess in his heart, "How did you get the token of his guard?"

Shanqi was not in a hurry. Facing the anger in his eyes, he said, "This was found from the eunuch's private parts."

His guess was confirmed, and Jun Qizheng couldn't listen any longer. He raised his hand and threw the token out fiercely, saying angrily: "Jun Zhiling! How dare you cough... cough cough cough cough!"

He was extremely emotional for the moment and started coughing continuously, and his already pale face became even paler.

Shan Qi lowered his eyes, bowed and said, "I hope Your Highness takes care of himself."

Jun Qi clenched his fist, suppressing the pain in his body caused by choking and coughing. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he murmured in a hoarse voice: "Jun Zhiling, if you want to kill me, it depends on whether you have the ability. Let's see who will have the last laugh, Shanqi!"

Shanqi raised his eyes slightly, looked into his meaningful eyes, walked forward a few steps, bent down, and leaned over to listen.

Kunning Palace.

The gauze curtains in the bedroom swayed seductively, and soft gasps and cries escaped from the depths of the bed one after another.

The queen raised her legs high and looked at the furry head with a dazed and emotional look.

A tingling sensation came over her, and she couldn't help but lift herself up, trembling continuously.

Half an hour later, the queen lay on her side with her head resting on Cao Mang's legs.

With his curled orchid fingers, he gently pinched the empress's sore waist. Cao Mang lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Are you feeling better, Madam?"

The queen slowly opened her closed eyes, and the blush still remained on her well-maintained delicate face.

Cao Mang was not angry when he saw that she did not reply.

The orchid finger changed its position little by little and stroked downwards.

Just when it was about to touch her thigh, a white hand stained with bright red silk grabbed it.

"You are becoming more and more outrageous in front of me," the queen said, moving her waist and sitting up from his legs.

Cao Mang's face changed slightly, and he quickly got off the bed, knelt down with his upper body naked, and apologized, "I spoke too much."

The queen glanced at her slowly, without a trace of the emotion in her eyes. She picked up a strand of hair with her fingertips and combed it gently.

"How is the investigation into the Crown Prince's poisoning going?"

Cao Mang suppressed the dark color in his eyes and said, "The palace maid Han Xiang committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Before she died, she clearly explained the whole story in her suicide note..."

"Cao Mang, I don't want to listen to your made-up stories," the queen said, looking at him impatiently with empty eyes.

Cao Mang immediately said in a serious tone: "I have investigated all the records of Mai Xian Weng's poison in the palace, and there are only two places where Mai Xian Weng has been stored for many years.

One is the Imperial Hospital, which is headed by Luo Tianqing, the chief of the hospital. Every gram of the poison used is recorded, so there is nothing suspicious about it. "

"What about the other place?" asked the Queen.

Cao Mang's eyes deepened slightly. "The other place is in the Jingren Palace of the Fourth Prince's birth mother, Consort Chunhui Jin. Jin loves flowers and plants, and two of them are the wheat fairy."

The queen straightened her clothes and sat on the edge of the couch. After a while, she said, "You mean, the prince's poisoning is related to Jin?"

Cao Mang added: "Perhaps it is related to the Fourth Prince."

The queen stood up and walked towards the brightly lit bathroom. She said, "Keep an eye on the prince. Help him when necessary. Also..."

She paused, and glanced sideways behind her. Her profile showed no trace of age, and her lines were tight and smooth. "Call Su Lan into the palace. Doesn't she like the prince? Let her take care of Zheng'er these days."

Cao Mang thought for a moment and said hurriedly, "I will arrange it right away."
