Emperor Jing Hong looked at Concubine Yu, as if he wanted to see some clues of lying on her face. But Concubine Yu looked calm and did not dodge at all.

Emperor Jing Hong could conclude that Nomine's words were not false.

"Is it true that all the rumors in the world cannot be believed?" Emperor Jing Hong frowned in doubt.

Nuomin nodded, thinking of Chu Junlan's pale and desperate appearance, and his eyes that could not even cry, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and he secretly sighed at the ruthlessness of the emperor.

This is even possible for her biological son, let alone a concubine who is not related to blood? To put it bluntly, she is just a beautiful decoration around Emperor Jing Hong and a toy that she likes for the time being.

When he first entered the palace, he had fantasies, but now Nuomin has completely lost all his thoughts.

"You go down." Emperor Jing Hong didn't know what Nuomin was thinking, nor did he care, so he waved his hand to let Nuomin retreat.

Emperor Jing Hong sat alone on the bed of the three-dimensional arhat placed next to the window on the side of the Yangxin Hall, and his fingers unconsciously tapped the table. In the quiet room, he could only hear the crisp sound of his nails and the wooden tabletop.

Chu Junlan did a lot of play here, turned his back, and sighed and crawled into Xiao Xu's arms.

"I used the words of Yufei to pass the news to the emperor, and I really took advantage of her. The look she looked at me just now really made me feel very guilty, but I also knew that I had to do this now."

Her rare fragile side made Xiao Xu feel pity. He turned around and kissed her gentle on Chu Junlan's forehead. His voice was hoarse as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, "It's hard for you."

"It's nothing. When life and death are at stake, I became a mother-in-law and mother," Chu Junlan had already figured it out before Xiao Xu could explain it. He surrounded Xiao Xu's waist and smiled, "In the future, we will make a good compensation and repay Nuomin."

Xiao Xu nodded, and couldn't help but lift his clothes to see the lifelike wound.

"I didn't expect that you could draw such a wound with bare hands. I wanted to give myself a knife."

"How much pain?" Chu Junlan smiled, "That ointment will make the skin slightly red and swollen, so I feel distressed."

Xiao Xu smiled and said, "For success, I always have to sacrifice something. But with you, I don't have to sacrifice."

"That's natural, what are we doing?"

In the next few days, Chu Junlan only used the convenience of giving Xiao Xu medicine to carefully recuperate the two of them. At first, Emperor Jing Hong only arranged for the imperial doctor to come once, and confirmed that Xiao Xu's pulse was indeed weak, as if he was about to slap his legs and die in the past few days, so he never came again.

Chu Junlan's ruthlessness torn his face against Emperor Jing Hong was just a smile.

Four days later, Chu Junlan was gathering with Xiao Xu and whispering, and the palace servants heard the reply from outside the hall.

"The eldest prince's concubine, the people around the emperor are here."

Chu Junlan's face turned stern, and he looked at Xiao Xu, then opened a wooden box that had been placed under Xiao Xu's pillow, and hid a longan-sized green bead inside in his sleeve.

"Be careful in everything, safety is the priority." Xiao Xu looked at Chu Junlan worriedly.

Chu Junlan smiled sweetly, raised his eyebrows confidently and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

When he arrived outside Zhongcui Palace, Chu Junlan saw a familiar man in black, the one who accompanied the second prince a few days ago.

"Are you?" Chu Junlan frowned in confusion.

The man in black bowed and said, "Di Zhen is here to come with the order. Please ask the eldest prince and concubine to go quickly."

Chu Junlan knew it, but frowned in confusion and said with caution: "In the daily life, I only see Li Daban and Zhao Daban beside the emperor, but I have never seen you."

"The eldest prince's concubine is busy with people. Last time I accompanied the second palace to see you." Di Zhen said anxiously, "The eldest prince's concubine, please don't waste time. This is the palace. It is true that I came here with the order. What are you still wondering?"

"I've been cheated and hurt too many times," Chu Junlan sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, I'll go with you."

"Please come with me." Di Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. If Chu Junlan refused to believe him, he would not have time to ask the emperor for advice and would tie Chu Junlan up and take him away.

Chu Junlan followed Di Zhen away from Zhongcui Palace, and walked through the Imperial Garden all the way, walking in an alley as remote as going to the Cold Palace, and then came to an abandoned courtyard covered with weeds on the edge of the palace.

If it weren't for coming here in person and seeing it with your own eyes, Chu Junlan wouldn't even believe that there was such a dilapidated place in the newly built palace.

Di Zhen led Chu Junlan to the courtyard, bypassed the rockery stone, and walked directly down the steps hidden behind the rockery stone to the underground.

Chu Junlan frowned: "This is..."

"Please follow me, the eldest prince's concubine."

Neat stone tiles are laid on the walls around the tunnel. There is a lot of water accumulated on the floor tiles. You can hear the sound of water without taking a step. Torchs are inserted diagonally on the walls. The fire light sways with the wind, making the long tunnel corridor appear in an extremely strange and gloomy atmosphere.

All the way to the end of the corridor, the more you go, the more bloody the disadvantages smell becomes.

This reminded Chu Junlan for no reason that when she was in the old capital, she accidentally broke the scene when the Sixth Prince abused and killed prisoners in the dark prison of the Jinyiwei.

"The eldest prince's concubine, it's here." Di Zhen walked to the iron gate, opened the door with a creak, and turned around to make a gesture of invitation.

Chu Junlan frowned by the strong bloody smell coming from the servants and maids. He followed Di Zhen into the door with his sleeves and saw a scene that looked like hell.

The small cell was brightly lit, so the blood and filth that had dragged all over the stomach and intestines was revealed. The sixth prince bent over with blood and was looking for something. The person lying on the bed could not see his face, but he could see his legs twitching.

At first glance, the two warriors were strong in their internal strength, one on the left and one on the right to deliver internal strength to the people on the bed.

Even though all this was within Chu Junlan's plan, when she really saw it with her own eyes, she was also shocked by the royal ruthlessness.

The sixth prince turned around, his face full of excitement that had not yet faded, and his eyes were shining at Chu Junlan, "What bead you are talking about is, how big is it? Why did I search it all but I couldn't find it? Come and find it for me."

Chu Junlan took a detour to the bed and faced the second prince's desperate and painful gaze.

His abdomen was cut open by the Sixth Prince, his organs were damaged and he lost too much blood. If there were no masters who were transporting his true energy, I was afraid he would have died long ago.

But this kind of pain of breaking the belly is really a torture like hell.

Chu Junlan sighed. Seeing such a miserable second prince, his previous frame-up and design of Xiao Xu could be written off.

Chu Junlan walked over to the second prince and asked, "Do you have anything else to explain to the Second Prince?"

The second prince was already unconscious. Although he looked at Chu Junlan, he could not recognize who he was. He only twitched his lips and approached carefully before he heard him keep saying, "Kill me, kill me."
