Before dawn the next day, servants and maids from various families gathered at the door, arguing fiercely with the imperial guards.

"It's just a concubine who disappeared. Is it possible that my wife should accompany me here to wait for the final result? Taixu Temple is not a safe place now. If my wife is injured because of this, can you afford it?"

"They are all high-ranking dignitaries, but I don't have time to continue spending time with you!"

The Imperial Guards who rushed at the front were flushed with anxiety, but they did not dare to say anything. The people in front of them were all served by the ladies of the aristocratic families. To beat a dog, it depends on the owner, so they did not dare to act rashly.

It was at this moment that another noisy footsteps sounded in the distance.

Seeing the leader Chu Yunyi, these arrogant servants and maids all shut their mouths.

"The bandits haven't been captured yet. Maybe they will attack on the way down the mountain. If you want to leave at this time, I won't stop you. But if something happens on the way, don't ask me for help!"

Chu Yunyi glanced coldly, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to say anything more.

Then, several more figures walked out of the path not far away.

Taoist Priest Yuxu was like a little chicken being carried in the hands of a tall man, and his usual celestial spirit was gone.

"Who are you! How dare you kidnap Taoist Yuxu!"

The man raised his head, and a handsome face that made people's hearts tremble appeared in everyone's sight.

He threw Taoist Yuxu to the ground. Taoist Yuxu, who was tied up with five flowers, was extremely weak. He was breathing heavily. Under his gray beard, his face was red due to difficulty in breathing.

Seeing Chu Yunyi, he seemed to have seen a life-saving straw: "His Royal Highness Duan Wang, help! This man suddenly appeared and arrested Pindao without any explanation! It's really..."

"This old Taoist tried to murder the county lord, and his crime is unforgivable!" Xie Yan said coldly, his handsome face was as handsome as the snow in the mountains, making people dare not look directly at him.

"Nonsense! How could I murder the county lord!" Taoist Priest Yuxu shouted loudly, "You kid, you are talking nonsense! Your Highness, Prince Duan, must make the decision for me!"

Chu Yunyi didn't speak, but he stared straight at Xie Yan, his eyes deep and unpredictable.

This guard made him feel weird, both in his appearance and in his behavior.

Such a person stays with Gu Ning... Seeing this face, Chu Yunyi became even more wary.

It is a tacit secret among everyone that a noble daughter of the royal family raises a favorite boy, but those consorts and princes are not allowed to appear on the stage. As a legitimate prince, he naturally does not want to suffer such humiliation.

The first time he saw Xie Yan, he felt strange.

"Your Highness!"

Suddenly, behind Xie Yan, a delicate and fragile female voice sounded.

Gu Ning leaned in Chunyu's arms, her peach blossom eyes filled with sparkling tears, she was very pitiful.

She kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said aggrievedly: "I had a nightmare last night. I woke up in the middle of the night and found that my heart was beating violently. After the accompanying doctor took my pulse, he discovered that I had signs of poisoning! I was coming to Taixu

You were fine before watching! Why did you get poisoned today?"

She pointed at Taoist Master Yuxu's nose and cursed: "This old Taoist must have been poisoned! I brought all the poison!"

While he was talking, the maid behind him had already come forward with a pot of peonies in full bloom.

Gu Ning's slender jade finger pointed at the pot of peonies: "He just poisoned the flowers!"

Taoist Priest Yuxu's eyes quickly flashed with a guilty conscience.

He was actually found out!

Gu Ning was very emotional, and her pale little face was flushed with anger.

Seeing that Chu Yunyi didn't answer for a long time, she quickly walked up to Chu Yunyi with small steps: "Your Highness, do you want to watch the person who harmed me go unpunished?"

Chu Yunyi frowned: "Are you sure this flower was poisoned?"

"This is what the imperial doctor said!" Gu Ning said confidently, "The imperial doctor Li is right here. If you don't believe me, ask him!"

Doctor Li hunched his back and carefully walked out of the crowd: "Wei Chen accidentally obtained an ancient book, which recorded a lost poison called Chunfeng Zui, which can kill people silently.

"

As soon as these words came out, Taoist Master Yuxu's face turned slightly pale.

"It is recorded in ancient books that spring breeze drunkenness is colorless and odorless, and there is no obvious trace when testing the poison with a silver needle. But as long as it is used as nutrients and buried in the roots of the peony every day, the peony can become a poison that kills without blood.

!This peony was cultivated by the spring breeze!"

Dr. Li was very organized and explained the characteristics of Chunfengzui one by one without panic.

In addition, Taoist Priest Yuxu had a different look on his face, and Chu Yunyi understood it completely.

"Not only that." Xie Yan added lightly, "There is a dark room in this old Taoist's room, and there is an account book in it, which clearly records to whom he has sold Chunfeng Zui to over the years!"

As soon as these words came out, the ladies and ladies watching the excitement had different expressions.

Some are guilty, some are frightened, and some are furious.

"Then there is a record of the Marquis Sheng of Zhenyuan!"

The woman's face was full of anger and she squeezed out of the crowd.

Gu Ning blinked. Isn't this Qin Feiyu who has a good relationship with the eldest princess?

Qin Feiyu stared at the pot of peonies with an angry look on his face, as if he wanted to dig a hole into it.

Gu Ning secretly winked at Chunyu.

The next moment, Chunyu opened the account book and read out the list smoothly.

For a moment, the expressions on everyone’s faces were wonderful!

"She actually exists!"

"I was in low spirits some time ago, and it was this bitch who really hurt me!"

"Jiang family..."

"enough!"

Chu Yunyi spoke immediately and interrupted Chunyu.

He looked gloomy and glanced at Xie Yan coldly: "He is indeed a person that General Pei values ​​​​and has outstanding abilities. He can even find this account book."

"It's all because of General Pei's good training." Xie Yan said with cupped hands.

Gu Ning was beside him, his eyes wide open in confusion, and he asked innocently: "Why don't you read it anymore? Isn't it good to let everyone know how many vicious-hearted people there are?"

Qin Feiyu on the side winked and pointedly said: "If you continue to read it, the entire capital will be turned upside down!"

Gu Ning lowered his head in disappointment: "That's it."

Chu Yunyi was full of words but didn't know where to start. He stared at Gu Ning, with many thoughts floating in his heart.

But the eyes he met were too clear, and he couldn't get any useful information out of them.

After a while, he said with a livid face: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give everyone an explanation."

"Take him away!"

"yes!"

When Gu Ning saw Chu Yunyi leaving, the confusion in his eyes gradually faded away.

Suddenly, someone's voice sounded in her ear: "What? Are you sure you can let him take Taoist Yuxu away?"

Turning his head, Qin Feiyu was crossing his chest with his hands, looking at her leisurely.

Gu Ning blinked, with a look of innocence on her face: "What is Miss Qin talking about?"

"Stop pretending." Qin Feiyu put his arms around her shoulders and whispered in her ear, "Your fox tail is exposed!"

"It was after you winked just now that your maid started to recite your name! I could see it clearly from there!"

Qin Feiyu shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect that they all took it wrong. Not only is the Lord of Changning County not a straw bag, he is actually a wise man who is strategizing!"

Hearing this, the smile on Gu Ning's lips faded: "What does Miss Qin want?"

Qin Feiyu clapped his hands and smiled heartily.

She leaned over Gu Ning's ear and whispered in a very low voice: "When you plot against someone, take me with you. I also want someone's reputation to be ruined!"

"who?"

"Mrs. Zhenyuan Hou." Qin Feiyu smiled like a stolen cat, "She usually pretends to be a good wife and mother in front of others, and she also takes good care of me, my stepdaughter, but in my room, there are several pots worth of money.

A thousand gold peonies!"

Gu Ning glanced at her and thought of what Chunyu had said to her before.

There is indeed a lot of trouble in Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.

"Okay, I'll help you." Gu Ning nodded slightly.

Since he is someone close to the eldest princess, it doesn't matter if she trusts him once.

The courtyard where Yuxudao lived was very remote. He said that he wanted to refine elixirs in a secluded place. But today, when he looked at it, he found that although the courtyard was not big, the furnishings and decorations were all treasures.

Chu Yunyi's eyelids twitched and he looked around the yard with a livid face.

There are many things he is familiar with!

Taoist Priest Yuxu was thrown to the ground, his face already blue and blue.

But when he saw Chu Yunyi, he said loudly: "Your Highness, Prince Duan, Taixu Temple is a name bestowed by the emperor. How dare I do anything wrong?"

"What did you say?" Chu Yunyi's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He stared at Taoist Priest Yuxu, and a guess emerged from his heart.

A flattering smile appeared on Taoist Master Yuxu's face. He leaned at Chu Yunyi's feet and whispered: "Actually, this is all what he ordered! If you don't believe it, you can go back to the palace and ask! I won't

Dare you talk nonsense!"

For a moment, those ignored details all connected together.

He clenched his hands and asked sternly: "Is it he who asked you to sell Chunfeng Zui?"

"This..." Taoist priest Yuxu suddenly stopped. His eyes were rolling around, not knowing how to make up a reasonable explanation right now.

But after meeting Chu Yunyi's complicated eyes, he relaxed and said very calmly: "Of course it is to earn some money. Although we are cultivators, how can we not need money for food and clothing?"

Chu Yunyi pinched the lapel of his clothes and lifted him to the same height as himself.

With his feet off the ground, Taoist Priest Yuxu's breathing became rapid, and his face gradually turned red: "Your Highness...everything I said...is true!"

"I know what you said is true." Chu Yunyi's eyes were dark and full of hostility, "But it is precisely because of this... you must die!"

He casually threw Taoist Yuxu to the ground and said in a calm tone, "Deal with him."

The confidant stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "What about the external rhetoric..."

"After being interrogated many times, he refused to tell the truth and committed suicide by taking poison."

"yes!"

Taoist Priest Yuxu was stunned on the spot, and after he realized what he was doing, he shouted sternly: "You can't do this to me! Are you afraid that I will reveal all the truth..."

The attendant knocked him out with a sword.

Chu Yunyi stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands and watched with cold eyes as Taoist Yuxu was dragged out like a dead dog.
