Xiao Yunze's voice came in, and the originally tense atmosphere suddenly froze.

Chu Yan couldn't help but hold his forehead, who the fuck is your concubine?It made him wish he could rush out and let Xiao Yunze change his name.

Qiao Hanqiu looked at him, and his tone was unavoidable: "The eldest prince was also deceived by you?"

Chu Yan: "...No, he knows I'm a man."

Qiao Hanqiu's eyes widened, Xiao Yunze knew?Then why does he still say that?

Qiao Hanqiu asked in embarrassment: "...he knows you are a man and still likes you?"

Chu Yan really didn't know how to answer Qiao Hanqiu's question.

On the other hand, Ji Zichen's eyes dimmed a bit.

He still tried his best to maintain his aloofness in the past, afraid of being noticed by Qiao Hanqiu: "Now is not the time to argue about this."

Chu Yan nodded: "I think so too. Fortunately, Doctor Ji dismissed Nie Jingyun yesterday, otherwise it would not be so easy to go out today. Let's go quickly."

The guard outside the door had been stunned by Ji Zichen, and it was a good time to escape quickly.

Chu Yan sat up from the bed, because he had been lying down for a long time, when he sat up, he gasped slightly.

The black hair meandered down from the shoulders, and the complexion on his face turned pale again.

"Didn't you want to leave earlier?" Qiao Hanqiu frowned. If it was different, he would have come to help Chu Yan a long time ago, and now Qiao Hanqiu's feelings for Chu Yan have become strange.

Chu Yan's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her chest heaved: "...I just don't have the strength, sorry."

He made a gesture to get up from the bed, but let himself fall to the cold ground.

Chu Yan fell very painfully, but he still didn't understand why he lost his strength, and it was difficult for him to even walk.

Qiao Hanqiu finally couldn't stand it anymore and picked up Chu Yan.

"Joe Hanqiu..."

"Let's go, don't waste time."

Chu Yan was dumb, and didn't struggle anymore, but turned his attention to Ji Zichen, as if asking him what the pill was yesterday, and why did he become like this?

Ji Zichen dodged his eyes and remained silent.

The guards here are all skilled in martial arts, and Ji Zichen's medicine is only enough to deal with a few people.

When they reached the atrium, Ji Zichen's medicine had been completely used up.

Qiao Hanqiu said: "The road here is like a maze, but it's really complicated."

Chu Yan quickly said: "I know how to go, this direction is wrong."

Qiao Hanqiu looked at him in surprise: "You are locked in the room by Nie Jingyun, how can you know the way outside?"

Chu Yan looked straight at him: "I also want to leave here early, trust me!"

Qiao Hanqiu knew that Chu Yan had lied to him, and he always had a lump in his heart.

Hearing what Chu Yan said, he didn't want to believe it anymore.

"I came here to walk, if I go back, I will only encounter more danger!"

Chu Yan couldn't say it out. This place was built by him a hundred years ago, so he naturally remembered where the exit was.

He could only lie and say: "The voice of the eldest prince is obviously coming from over there."

Although he knew that he was a man, when he heard that Chu Yan relied on Xiao Yunze so much, Qiao Hanqiu immediately felt jealous.

"You expect him to come to rescue you so much, and I suddenly feel like I'm desperately trying to follow you... It's really ridiculous."

At this time, Chu Yan had regained some strength. He wanted Qiao Hanqiu to let go of himself, but when he heard this, no matter how good his temper was, he couldn't help but get angry: "Now is not the time to be willful, go out earlier, why don't you get angry again?" Text me, okay?"

Qiao Hanqiu felt even more sore in his heart and didn't speak anymore.

"I can go, let me down."

Qiao Hanqiu put Chu Yan on the ground. Under his leadership, although some guards were encountered on the way, they walked out soon.

The people from Xiao Yunze over there fought with the people from the Hou Mansion, making a mess.They were all armed and looked a little scary.But if it weren't for these people, they wouldn't be able to come out so easily.

Chu Yan looked over there, Xiao Yunze was wearing a black gold-edged shirt, his clear and handsome appearance was much more ruthless.He didn't even want to maintain his old smile, and his sharp black eyes were fixed on that side.

Just from this appearance, there is an unruly aura.

At that moment, Chu Yan thought he saw Su Moyuan, he restrained his gaze, and shouted at Xiao Yunze: "Your Highness!"

Seeing Chu Yan and the others come out, Xiao Yunze quickly joined him: "Are you all right?"

He looked Chu Yan up and down for a long time, Chu Yan's face was pale, and the color of his lips was sickly pale, which made Xiao Yunze feel worried.

Chu Yan shook his head, turned around and looked at Qiao Hanqiu: "Young Master Qiao, I don't want to have this kind of trouble with you, but I kept it from you before and didn't tell you the truth. The mistake has already been made, and I will ignore any grievances you have." bear."

Qiao Hanqiu felt pain in his heart: "No wonder you insisted on withdrawing from me before, because you were afraid of being discovered by me, and your Zhou family would be discredited and become Lingji's laughingstock, right?"

Chu Yan wanted to explain: "Zhou Pan didn't deliberately lie to you..."

"You are Zhou Jue, not Zhou Pan!" Qiao Hanqiu interrupted him with a high voice.

Chu Yan also smiled lonely: "Yes, my sister died a long time ago."

Qiao Hanqiu only felt disappointed, and his mood was extremely complicated.

"I'm actually very protective of a man..."

Xiao Yunze was watching from the side, Qiao Hanqiu's attitude towards Chu Yan made him extremely unhappy.

He found out many things during that time, and after Xiao Yunze found out about them, he felt angry.

"Qiao Hanqiu, it is true that A Jue lied to you, and it is only natural for you to be angry. But in the future, don't say anything about how you protect him. Such words will only make us feel ridiculous."

"...Aren't I?"

Xiao Yunze raised the corners of his lips, and said sarcastically, "Why don't you ask Ji Zichen and Nie Jingyun what they did to A Jue?"

Qiao Hanqiu looked at Ji Zichen, but Ji Zichen's eyes were somewhat dodgy.

Qiao Hanqiu met Ji Zichen in Jianghu, and understood that Ji Zichen was definitely not such a timid person.

"What did you do to Zhou Jue?"

"Han Qiu..."

"Tell me! If you don't tell me, I'll check it myself, there will always be clues!"

Ji Zichen's face was ugly, how could he speak.

It's just that Xiao Yunze is at the side, even if he doesn't say anything, Xiao Yunze will probably tell the whole story.

"I like you."

Qiao Hanqiu opened his eyes wide, and his face turned dark all of a sudden.

Ji Zichen: "Because I like you, I have done many wrong things to Zhou Jue, and even... threatened Zhou Jue's life."

Qiao Hanqiu didn't expect that the person he brought back would become Chu Yan's reminder.

He looked at Ji Zichen in astonishment: "Zhou Jue was my fiancee before, you clearly know...or did you do it?"

"If he doesn't move his seat, you'll never notice me!"

Qiao Hanqiu took a step back, his face became more and more ugly.

Originally, there was a man who liked him, and Qiao Hanqiu felt uncomfortable, but the other party actually did this kind of thing.

Qiao Hanqiu understood that there were too many things he didn't know, he looked at Xiao Yunze: "I want to know the truth."

Judging by their appearance, they all knew it well, but he was the only one who was kept from it.

Xiao Yunze's eyes were extremely cold, and he still reported the series of injuries that Qiao Hanqiu's admirers had done to Chu Yan.

"You are the Qiao family who came back from the mountain in late autumn last year. You fell in love with A Jue in January."

"On the ninth day of January, during the small feast of the Du family, you took A Jue to the Du family. He was murdered by a girl from the Du family and fell into a trap outside the Zhuangzi. In the cold weather, his body was weak, and he went back seriously ill for half a month."

"On February New Year's Day, your Qiao's family hosted a banquet, and A Jue came to visit, but was humiliated by Nie Siyu, and even smashed his salute to pieces."

"At the end of February, when you came to visit last week, A Jue's mother fell ill. He didn't want you to come over, but you insisted on ignoring his wish, and even brought Ji Zichen to treat his mother, which made Zhou's mother feel sick. Neighbors know about the disease and are pointed at by others."

"At the beginning of March, when you invited A Jue for an outing, those men and women who admired you found out and deliberately embarrassed him."

"Let's not mention all of this for the time being, but on the day of the boat painting, A Jue was obviously invited by you, but he wanted to bring Nie Siyu and Nie Jingyun with him, so that they had an opportunity to push A Jue into the water. I won't wake up anytime soon!"

"There is also this genius doctor Ji who almost strangled A Jue to death at Qiao's house. Do you really think...you are protecting him?"

Qiao Hanqiu was completely unaware of these things.

His face was extremely pale, and he glanced at Chu Yan: "Obviously so many things have happened, why...don't you tell me?"

Chu Yan smiled weakly and said, "Master Qiao, I am a man anyway, even if I am forced to wear women's clothes, I still have self-respect."

The expression on Qiao Hanqiu's face was full of pain.

"I didn't call you a villain, I just looked at A Jue's face." Xiao Yunze snorted coldly, "If I like someone, I will never let others secretly target him like this. You really have feelings for him , how can you not see these?"

Xiao Yunze didn't want to say anything more to Qiao Hanqiu, so he took Chu Yan's hand and prepared to leave.

Chu Yan's legs were weak, and she was panting slightly.

Xiao Yunze caught his body that was about to fall: "Can you still hold it?"

Chu Yan said: "...um."

Xiao Yunze frowned, picked up Chu Yan, and Chu Yan fell into his arms with her eyes closed.

Still say you can hold it?

Xiao Yunze was full of worry: "I'll take you to Wei's house."

Xiao Yunze was about to leave soon, Ji Zichen said to him: "Wait!"

"...Miracle Doctor Ji, you fed him that medicine yesterday, and I haven't settled with you yet, how dare you stop me from leaving?"

"It's not to prevent the First Prince from leaving, but to tell the First Prince that he was fed Xi Yuan Pill by Nie Jingyun."

Although Xiao Yunze didn't know what it was, he wanted to go back and ask Wei Ke.

"understood."

The First Prince's people have already restrained the people that Nie Jingyun stayed here, and they seem to want to arrest them all and torture them.

After they all left, the place was empty, only the two of them were left.

Ji Zichen looked at Qiao Hanqiu: "Hanqiu, let's go back too."

Qiao Hanqiu raised his head suddenly, and looked at Ji Zichen with extremely complicated eyes: "Have you ever made a move on Zhou Jue?"

"……Um."

Qiao Hanqiu suddenly felt that Ji Zichen was very strange, including Nie Jingyun.

He thought that he cared for Chu Yan, but he didn't expect him to receive so much harm.

Xiao Yunze was right, it was the most ridiculous thing to say the word protection from his mouth.

"I didn't hurt him, and I regretted it later, and took Kui Zhu to save him!"

"It's no wonder that you suddenly took out the magic medicine like sunflower...so it's because of guilt." Qiao Hanqiu finally saw everything clearly.

Ji Zichen was hit by what he said, and his heart sank.

After he fell in love with Qiao Hanqiu, he was no longer that expert doctor who could only save people.

Because he likes him, Ji Zichen still has the idea of ​​harming others.

Although he stopped in time, he almost strangled Chu Yan.

Ji Zichen's heart is heavy. His current mood is very similar to Chu Yan's mood when he wanted to make up for Qiao Hanqiu. Both of them regretted the mistakes they made.

Qiao Hanqiu felt extremely tired: "You pinched him and rescued him with Kuizhu. If he really hated you, he probably wouldn't say a word to you, and that's enough to offset it."

Hearing what Qiao Hanqiu said, Ji Zichen felt better.

However, Qiao Hanqiu's next words made Ji Zichen very uncomfortable.

"I wouldn't like you."

"Han Qiu..."

"I don't like men!"

Ji Zichen's lips turned pale: "Then what's the matter with Zhou Jue?"

He could see clearly that Qiao Hanqiu was angry with him because he liked him.

Qiao Hanqiu is now a fan of the authorities, and no one will point it out for him.

And Xiao Yunze's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face, making Qiao Hanqiu understand that he had done so many mistakes.Qiao Hanqiu's anger towards Chu Yan turned to pity again.

Although Xiao Yunze vented his anger on Chu Yan, he made a love rival for himself.

Ji Zichen asked himself, if it were him, he would not be able to do what Xiao Yunze did.

It can be seen from this that Xiao Yunze's heart for Chu Yan!

Qiao Hanqiu lowered his head: "I just like Zhou Pan, not Zhou Jue..."

After hearing this, Ji Zichen could only sigh heavily.

"Because of you like this, Nie Jingyun changed from liking you to liking Zhou Jue."

He suddenly understood what Nie Jingyun was thinking. Was there part of his liking for Zhou Jue that he wanted Qiao Hanqiu to pay attention to him?

Ji Zichen fell silent.



When Xiao Yunze brought Chu Yan back to Lingji, he took him directly into the palace.

Those who were brought back by him from Bieyuan were directly brought into prison by his subordinates for examination.

Not only did Xiao Yunze not watch, but he directly handed it over to his subordinates, which also aroused the attention of the accompanying officials.

The second prince was imprisoned, and the seventh prince was raised by the empress.

The eldest prince is not afraid at all, won't His Majesty pass on the throne to him?

After all, His Majesty is only forty now, and his body is in good health, so we don't know what will happen in the future!

When Xiao Yunze took Chu Yan to the palace, he quickly called Wei Ke over: "Get his pulse quickly, he looks very strange!"

Wei Ke hurried over and took Chu Yan's pulse carefully.

With his medical skills, he still doesn't know about Xi Yuan Dan. He only recognizes that Chu Yan was injured by the medicine of gold and stone. Originally, he nursed Chu Yan for so long, but it was all in vain!

Wei Ke asked angrily: "Who is so wicked to feed Mr. Zhou cold stone powder!"

Xiao Yunze felt sad: "Ji Zichen."

Wei Ke has never seen eye to eye with him, and when he heard that Ji Zichen had ruined his hard work, he was in a bad mood instantly.

"I've worked so hard to take care of Mr. Zhou's body this month, and finally made him stronger. Ji Zichen is really amazing!"

Xiao Yunze remembered Ji Zichen's words before he left, and said to Wei Ke: "He was also fed Xiyuan Pill."

Wei Ke's hand trembled, and he looked at Xiao Yunze in surprise: "Xi Yuan Dan?"

"What is that thing?"

"It will confuse people's memory, and it can make people addicted after taking it for a long time, but there are many side effects."

Xiao Yunze immediately understood what Nie Jingyun wanted to do, and his air pressure dropped instantly: "Wei Ke, you treat him first, I'll be back in a while."

"What does Your Highness want to do?"

"Look for Emperor Father."

Before Wei Ke came back to his senses, Xiao Yunze had already left the palace.

"This pulse is so weak...it must have been fed by Ji Zichen again!" Wei Ke said angrily.

If it weren't for seeing Chu Yan still breathing, he really felt like he was healing a dead person.

In desperation, he could only take out acupuncture and give Chu Yan a needle.

But here, Xiao Yunze walked all the way, and went to Emperor Xiao's bedroom.Xiao Guo's palace was built quite poetically, with painted pillars and carved beams, red walls and green tiles.

The palace servants were guarding outside, seeing that Xiao Yunze had come, they hurriedly greeted Xiao Yunze: "Eldest Prince, are you here to see His Majesty today?"

Xiao Yunze let out an 'um', his expression was extremely cold.

Although this palace man was serving Emperor Xiao, he had already heard about Xiao Yunze's violence.Once he got sick, no one around would dare to get close to Xiao Yunze. Could it be that there are not many palace people who died by Xiao Yunze's side these years?

His body trembled a little: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is not in the bedroom right now."

"Where is my royal father?"

"...on the side of the Fuqu Pond."

Xiao Yunze frowned, and quickly walked over there.

The sun was dazzling, and the chirping of cicadas was disturbing.Because he wanted to go to Emperor Xiao's side quickly, Xiao Yunze did not take the main road, but went through the deep and winding path, and he found Emperor Xiao who was in the gazebo in a short time: "Father Emperor."

Emperor Xiao was lying in the gazebo reading a book, admiring the pool of flowers by the way.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yunze came here on his own initiative, Xiao Emperor couldn't help laughing and said: "This is the first time I've seen you in such a hurry, tell me, what happened?"

"My son caught those people who made trouble in the Nie family."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xiao's expression changed: "Where is the leader, Nie Jingyun?"

"On the run."

Emperor Xiao sighed: "Then what are you planning to come here in a hurry today?"

Xiao Yunze looked at Emperor Xiao: "My son thought that if the Nie family dared to do this, there must be someone supporting them!"

"... I know about this matter, I just need to find out about the Nie family."

"Father is afraid of hurting the person on the tip of your heart?" Xiao Yunze sneered.

Emperor Xiao looked at Xiao Yunze, feeling how similar he was to his young self.

What Xiao Yunze did today, Emperor Xiao can roughly guess: "Do you like Zhou Qing's son Zhou Jue?"

"...How could my son like Zhou Jue? My son likes Zhou Pan."

Emperor Xiao gave Xiao Yunze a deep look, and didn't delve into it further.

He looked at the lotus flowers under the scorching sun. They were shy and open, and the breeze blew the green leaves like waves.

Emperor Xiao suddenly asked: "How did Nie Jingyun find that place? It's clearly in ruins..."

"I heard that Nie Jingyun repaired it again."

Emperor Xiao also strayed into it when he was young, but he penetrated deeper than Xiao Yunze.

"When I was your age, I went there too, but I went to the studio and dug out a brocade box from the dirt."

Xiao Yunze was puzzled: "Brocade box?"

"Well, it contains portraits."

"A portrait of the imprisoned prince?"

"No, the portrait of Emperor Xiao Jing."

Legend has it that this Emperor Xiao Jing originally wanted to give Emperor Xiao Jing a better title after his death, the king Xin who succeeded to the throne at that time.But all the ministers below refused to obey, and even felt that the years when Emperor Xiao Jing was in power was torture to Xiao Guo, and he didn't deserve a title at all.

King Xin took out the theory of governing the country written by Emperor Xiao Jing when he was in power, which contained plans for the future of Xiao, and they were relieved.

Since then, King Xin has been governing the country according to Emperor Xiao Jing's theory of governing the country, and the country of Xiao has become prosperous again.

Xiao Yunze didn't expect Emperor Xiao to mention him suddenly, and he didn't understand Emperor Xiao's intention.

"Come with me."

Xiao Yunze followed behind him, and went to the imperial study with Emperor Xiao.Emperor Xiao hid the portrait very secretly, pressed the mechanism on the bookshelf, and the box appeared in front of the two of them.

He opened the portrait inside, and the people inside just appeared in front of Xiao Yunze.

For some reason, he was suddenly attracted by the people inside.

The person inside didn't wear a crown, and his loose black hair was tied with a red headband.Leaning his back against the red plum tree, he lowered his head and smiled.

This painting is so beautiful that Xiao Yunze's eye sockets are moist and hot.

Xiao Yunze noticed the small characters on the side, which said Xiao Chen.

This is obviously not the name of the painter, but the name of Emperor Xiao Jing in the portrait.

Xiao Yunze seemed to be possessed by a demon, his heart ached suddenly, and he stretched out his hand towards the portrait.

Emperor Xiao quickly took back the portrait, and said to Xiao Yunze indifferently: "You can attack the Nie family, but don't attack your mother's queen, it is also my request as a father."

Xiao Yunze came back to his senses, and looked at Emperor Xiao: "Father really loves Empress Mother, she has committed such a heinous crime, so she can forgive Empress Mother."

Emperor Xiao didn't deny it: "When you were a baby and cried, hug this painting to sleep, and you won't cry anymore. This painting will be regarded as my gift to you."

"...Father wants to take a painting, so let me stop?"

"Then do you want this painting?"

Xiao Yunze rolled up the painting silently, and took it into his hands.

Xiao Di laughed out loud: "The Nie family is up to you, they acted recklessly, it's time to clean up."

"...Thank you, father, my son will leave."

Xiao Yunze also felt that he was crazy, for the sake of a painting, he let go of the culprit who caused Chu Yan.

When he walked into his hall, he found that Chu Yan had already woken up.

Xiao Yunze's hanging heart finally fell: "You finally woke up..."

Chu Yan saw that his eyes were full of worry, and his heart was ironing, as if soaked in warm water.

From the corner of his eyes, Chu Yan saw what Xiao Yunze seemed to be holding in his hand, and asked a lot: "Are you holding a painting? It looks so old..."

"You want to see?"

Chu Yan thought it was an ancient painting, so he responded casually: "Yes."

Xiao Yunze quickly opened the painting, the roller fell down, and a painting seemed to be imprinted in Chu Yan's eyes.

His face changed suddenly, and he blurted out: "...Didn't I burn them all?"

"What did you burn?"

Xiao Yunze looked at him, in his jade-like pupils, only the deep darkness remained.
