Zhu Gaoxu thought of the pair of jadeite bracelets, which were smooth and finely processed, and felt that the Shen family could find some skilled craftsmen; if it was asked to be done by the Shen family, it would probably be easier.

He wrote a letter to send it to the Shen Mansion, proposing that the Han Prince's Mansion would send soldiers to guard the mines, and the Shen Xu family would be responsible for the mining operation; and asked her what she had requested.

The next morning, Zhu Gaoxu came to the study room and took out Chen Xu's reply from the envelope. He opened it and saw several lines of neat regular characters coming into his eyes.

The writing is roughly the story of an actor named Li Louxian under the Chen Xu family, who has contributed a lot to the Shen family. Li Louxian hopes to have the opportunity to drink with the King of Han and ask if the King of Han can agree to this matter.

Zhu Gaoxu was a little confused after reading it. He knew that Li Louxian was the top actress in Liyuan, and that the daughter of the Hou of Xiping was very popular with this person.

He recalled that last year, Mrs. Chen seemed to have asked him if he wanted to ask Li Lou to accompany him first. Zhu Gaoxu thought it was just Mrs. Chen who wanted to flatter him, so he refused casually... He didn't expect that this was because Mrs. Chen wanted to see him first.

Li Louxian had no intentions, right? Zhu Gaoxu thought about it. He almost didn't know the actor, but he still believed in Chen Xu's name. If there was any problem with the actor, Chen Xu's name should not dare to recommend it.

The business of jade has been surprisingly smooth so far. Zhu Gaoxu hesitated for a moment and then picked up his pen and wrote: Please arrange the time for Mrs. Chen.

...The agreed time for meeting is three days later.

Just after the You hour, Zhu Gaoxu changed into an ordinary robe and robe and took a carriage to the Shenyuan behind the theater.

In the house by the pond, the guards entered the left and right wings as before. Zhu Gaoxu waited Duan Xuehen out of the door and then walked in. Duan Xuehen did not follow in and stayed in the corridor outside.

After a while, several maids entered and placed the wine and food on the round table in the hall.

After taking the seat, Zhu Gaoxu soon saw a woman wearing a pair of pairs walking in. He looked up and recognized that the woman was Li Louxian.

Zhu Gaoxu saw her several times before, and she looked like she was playing makeup, but she had never met him in normal times. What surprised Zhu Gaoxu was that Li Lou took off her makeup first, but there was no dusty smell. It was probably because the powder on her face was very light and the clothes and jewelry were relatively simple. She only had small flower embroidery on her side of the robe, and no other fabrics were patterned.

"I'll pay homage to Your Highness." Li Louxian's voice was very soft, as if he was pinching his voice. She lowered her head, and she felt a little shy.

Zhu Gaoxu was more casual. He smiled and bowed, "Last time I asked Miss Li to copy the playbook, but I haven't thanked you yet. Please come and sit down."

Li Louxian said softly: "It is a great honor for me to copy the playbook for Your Highness."

She walked closer and gently sat on the stool on one side. Because Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were always looking at her, she didn't dare to look up at Zhu Gaoxu.

Li Lou first stretched out his right hand and picked up the thin-necked wine pot on the table, gently held the sleeve with his left hand, and said, "These dishes are made by me, I hope they can match the taste of His Highness..."

Zhu Gaoxu was about to praise her, but unexpectedly, at this moment, she suddenly saw her face flushed and seemed to be something wrong... After a moment, her hands also trembled.

"Bang!" The wine pot fell on the table. Li Louxian's body softened and his body fell down.

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Come on!" Then he went up and lifted Li Louxian's body over to check.

The door opened and a figure flashed into the room. Zhu Gaoxu looked up and saw that it was Duan Xueheng. He immediately said, "Li Louxian seemed to be poisoned, so he immediately called the doctor."

Duan Xueheng asked, "The prince is fine?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I still haven't drunk any drops of water."

Duan Xuehen turned around and went out. At this time, several nearby guards of the royal palace also walked into the room. The person who came first was Xu Cailiu, and then the doctor came, and Chen Xu also walked into the door.

Xu Cailiu said nervously: "Because something happened to him when he went back to the Pear Garden last time, the youngest ones were very cautious every time they came to the Pear Garden. Before they were delivered to the house, they had already asked me to try it..."

"Go and get the egg white first, and then ask someone to get the water." The doctor said without raising his head, "She is poisoned by arsenic|frost, but fortunately she is not seriously poisoned."

Chen Xu bent down and said, "I am guilty of disturbing Your Highness."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Wait for the doctor to save people first."

After a while of busy work inside and outside the house, Li Lou was soon carried to the next room. Zhu Gaoxu paced back and forth a few steps in the hall, turned to look at the wine and food that had never been eaten on the table, and was puzzled.

Chen Xu's fingers pinched the corner of her clothes and stood silently at the door nervously.

Zhu Gaoxu then spoke, "This matter is very strange. Since the wine and food are not poisoned, I am not poisoned either. Why did Li Lou get poisoned first?"

Chen Xu frowned, shook his head and sighed, "It must be Li Lou who took arsenic|frost privately."

"Why?" Zhu Gaoxu became even more confused.

Chen Xu said softly: "Women take a small amount of arsenic | cream, which can make their skin look whiter... Li Louxian may have eaten a little more."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Chen Xu in shock.

She continued: "Everyone likes women with white skin. Your Highness doesn't know that many women secretly take arsenic and frost to please men, most of whom are concubines from wealthy families. Li Lou finally managed to serve His Highness alone, and she must have eaten arsenic and frost.

I made such a conclusion because the doctor said that she was not poisoned deeply and should have no worries about her life. If Li Lou had not taken arsenic and frost himself first, otherwise the poisoner would have the intention to harm others and would not have given up so little!"

Zhu Gaoxu really didn't know that there was such a thing, but as soon as Chen Xu said it, he quickly felt that it seemed to be somewhat credible... Otherwise, how could he explain such a ridiculous thing?

Chen Xu looked regretful: "I did not expect such a thing to happen. If I had known this, I would not have agreed to Li Louxian for waiting."

"Forget it." Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the door. He came to the next room, and Duan Xuehen and others followed.

Sure enough, Li Louxian had woken up quickly. She covered her face with her sleeves and lay on a collapsed side, her shoulders shaking slightly.

Zhu Gaoxu soon heard her suppressed sob. When he walked to the front of the collapse, Li Lou hurriedly turned his face to the side and choked and said, "It's all my fault for being stupid. Maybe my life should be like this..."

"Did you take arsenic|frost yourself?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

Li Lou responded in a trembling voice.

Zhu Gaoxu sighed, turned to look at Chen Xu and said, "I believe that's the truth. Mrs. Chen, Miss Li doesn't have to worry about it, this matter will end here."

Li Louxian cried weakly: "Your Highness is to punish me for my own crime. I have to bear it myself, and it has nothing to do with Mrs. Chen."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Arsenic|Frost is poisonous, and everyone knows that why Miss Li is doing this?"

Li Louxian said in his voice: "I heard that Your Highness loves to listen to my plays, and I... I am now backfiring, but I am asking Your Highness to see the ugly face, whisper..."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he felt compassion and couldn't help but comfort him: "Miss Li is at ease to take care of her, we'll meet again next time."

Li Lou struggled and turned around first, but still covered his face with his sleeves, "What Your Highness said seriously?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said gently: "Of course. I won't stay much tonight. Miss Li will be able to give birth to her. Mrs. Chen doesn't have to make things difficult for her."

"Yes, I will obey your orders." Chen Xu said hurriedly.

When he walked out of the house, the sky was dim and the sky was covered with stars. He looked up and thought to himself that it was a beautiful scenery, but unexpectedly it was a mess.

Chen Xu followed him to the corridor and whispered: "The prince encountered two thrilling events in the Pear Garden. I was really negligent."

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Duan Xuehen beside him, and saw Chen Xu looking at her... Duan Xuehen's eyes flashed very quickly. The last accident assassin was Duan Xuehen; she was calm at first, but her eyes were a bit like Mu Zhen, which easily revealed her emotions.

"I understand everything, Mrs. Chen doesn't have to take it to heart." Zhu Gaoxu said, "Our business in Myanmar is as usual."

"Your Highness..." Chen Xu's voice sounded a little hesitant.

She always speaks clearly and rarely speaks so hard. Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but turn to look at her and saw Chen Xu's face slightly red.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and said, "Miss Duan wait."

Duan Xuehen stopped without saying a word, and several guards also stayed there. Zhu Gaoxu and Chen Xu turned around the corridor. Chen Xu said in a low voice: "There are too many idle people in the Liyuan, so it is not convenient to be prepared. Next time the prince comes to Chen Mansion, I will apologize to you in person."

This sentence seems to be fine, but her appearance makes people think too much. Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said, "Okay."

The two of them were in a state of silence, and the lights in the corridor remained motionless, making the night quieter. Zhu Gaoxu even felt that it seemed that nothing had happened just now.

He couldn't help but think about Li Louxian again. Li Louxian, a popular actor, seemed to have never spoken to Zhu Gaoxu, and he had met once or twice, but he was in a hurry.

But she tried every means to get close to Zhu Gaoxu, but because Zhu Gaoxu was just a prince, that's all.

"It's just an ordinary thing." Zhu Gaoxu summed up in a daze.

It turned out that he was just a villain with nothing, and now his situation was very different; so what Li Louxian did made him sigh... Perhaps, other royal relatives and nobles have long been used to it.

So Zhu Gaoxu sighed casually, (to the prince) this is an ordinary thing.

Chen Xu seemed to misunderstand what he meant and immediately flattered him very gently: "Your Highness is broad-minded and generous to others, which makes people admire him very much."

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said, "That's because I trust Mrs. Chen, not that I can forgive others at will."
