but.
He lay down with less than half a cup of tea.
Emperor Qi Yuan couldn't help but ordered: "Arrange the two of them to follow Miss Chen Er secretly. If there is any change... that's all. That brat knows that I don't trust him. He might come to make trouble for me again. It's rare for me to be quiet for a few days now. , let him be."
Chang Fu smiled and said: "Although Mr. Xie has a perverse temperament, he is a very safe person in his actions. Don't worry, Your Majesty."
"I don't worry about him. What I'm worried about is Miss Chen Er." Emperor Qi Yuan said with a gloomy look, "It's impossible for a person's temper to change so drastically suddenly. I'm worried..."
"If this is really the case, the Emperor should rest assured." Chang Fu advised, "The Emperor knows best what kind of person Mr. Can't afford any trouble."
"That's the truth." After Emperor Qi Yuan relaxed a little, he thought of those antidote pills again, "Go and ask a palace maid to come in and try out the efficacy of the antidote pills."
Chang Fu went.
After a while, he led a palace maid in.
Under the instruction of Emperor Qian Yuan, Chang Fu first poured out an antidote pill for the palace maid to take.
After that, he took out another poison pill and handed it to the palace maid.
Although the palace maid was afraid, she could only accept her fate and swallow the poison pill.
A cup of tea passed by.
Two cups of tea passed by.
Three cups of tea passed.
The palace maid knelt on the ground, still safe and sound.
"Go down." Emperor Qi Yuan said.
The palace maid thanked the holy grace as if she had received an amnesty, then stood up and walked away quickly.
Chang Fu respectfully handed the jade bottle containing the detoxification pills to Emperor Qi Yuan.
Emperor Yuan Yuan took it, played with it for a while, and then handed it back to Chang Fu, "Take one and send it to the Taiyuan Hospital to see if they can configure it accordingly."
Changfu should be.
When the two of them were thinking about the antidote pill.
Xie Xun left the palace, mounted his horse, and rushed to Chen's house again.
When arriving at Chen's house.
It's already getting slightly brighter.
Throw the horse to the porter's boy.
Xie Xun walked towards Qingzhiyuan.
Arrive at the gate of Qingzhiyuan.
The two maids guarding the door were still gossiping.
Before the two of them came forward to greet her, Xie Xun ordered: "When your second lady wakes up, ask her to come to see me in Hengwu Courtyard. I have important matters to discuss with her."
The two maids obeyed obediently.
Wait for Xie Xun to go away.
The two maids looked at each other.
One of them said: "We had important things to discuss in the middle of the night, and now we have important things to discuss again. Mr. Xie doesn't really like the second lady, does he?"
"What's wrong with falling in love with the second young lady?" Another whispered, "When we go out in the future, we will be respectable people. Let's see who dares to bully us!"
The first one said: "There are rumors out there that the second lady and Mr. Xie's child is two years old. I don't know if it is true."
Another said: "I think it's very likely to be true. When the second lady went to Hengwuyuan last night, she didn't even wear any outer clothes. How could she be so casual if she hadn't had skin-to-skin contact?"
The first one said: "If it's true, the second young lady is really lucky."
Another said: "It's good to be lucky, so that we can also take advantage of it and get rid of the bad luck brought by the eldest lady."
All the words they thought they whispered fell on Xie Xun's ears.
Xie Xun did not stop it.
He sat quietly in Hengwu Courtyard until dawn, and then sat quietly until the sun rose. He still didn't see Chen Anning coming over. Knowing that she was doing it on purpose, Xie Xun knocked on the tea table twice and called up the maid at the door, "Go and tell you two." Miss, ask her to come to Hengwu Courtyard as soon as possible."
Not long after the maid left.
Suddenly there is a faint fragrance coming slowly with the breeze.
Xie Xun held his breath and waited quietly.
When Chen Anning suddenly appeared, he quickly threw the teacup in his hand towards her.
The tea cup broke into three pieces in the air.
In the shape of a triangle.
He shot towards her without slowing down.
Chen Anning flew to avoid it, then threw dozens of embroidery needles at him.
Xie Xun didn't see any action.
The person sat elsewhere.
And those dozen embroidery needles were deeply pierced into his previous chair.
Seeing her, he started to attack again.
Xie Xun quickly took out the imperial edict and threw it at her, "I came to the palace to ask for this specially for you."
Chen Anning reached out and took it.
See it is an imperial edict.
After looking at him twice, he opened it.
After seeing the words of marriage, her pretty face sank quickly, and then she smiled like ice and snow melting away.
After putting the imperial edict together, she raised her eyes and looked at him: "If you have any last words you need to explain, please tell me."
"Don't be too quick to get angry," Old God Xie Xun said from the ground, "Let's sit down and have a good talk."
"You and I have nothing to talk about!" After placing the imperial edict on the treetop aside, Chen Anning laughed sinisterly twice, then slowly took a white porcelain bottle from his waist and poured it out. Two black pills were wrapped in a handkerchief. After gently crushing them, they walked towards him step by step.
"You help me solve the case, and I will help you find out the truth behind the massacre in Yaowang Valley. Once the incident is completed, I will immediately ask the emperor to cancel our engagement." Looking at her appearance, Xie Xun knew that this poison should not be underestimated, so Xie Xun quickly took out the jade bottle , poured out an antidote pill and swallowed it, "As compensation, you can make three conditions. As long as I can fulfill them, I will never refuse."
She recognized that the detoxification pill he swallowed was what she gave to Xu Zan. Chen Anning sneered twice and quickly sprinkled the black powder in his direction.
Knowing that this fight was inevitable, Xie Xun dodged and said with a smile: "Use the other's shield to block the other's spear. I wonder whether the shield or the spear is better?"
"Would you know if you try it?" Chen Anning shook his wrist slightly, and the dagger hidden in his sleeve instantly slipped into his hand.
Throw down the scabbard and hold on to the dagger.
Chen Anning rushed towards him.
Xie Xun met her without hesitation.
The two of them gave up Qinggong together and used Hengwuyuan as the battlefield to fight in close quarters.
Of course Xie Xun didn't dare to trust him.
When Chen Anning took out the dagger, he also took out the short knife he was carrying.
The swords and daggers met, and sparks flew everywhere.
Fighting with fists and feet, refusing to give in.
Soon, half an hour passed.
Soon, another hour passed.
After fighting dozens of times, the two retreated at the same time.
Chen Anning was sweating profusely and her hair was dripping with water.
Xie Xun's clothes were wet with sweat and he was panting like an ox.
The two fought to a draw.
but……
Seeing her gradually rising fierce momentum, Xie Xun hurriedly said: "One courtyard in Kaihuafang or Chongyifang, plus five hundred thousand taels of silver, for a period of five years! In five years, no matter what the result is, I will go How about asking the emperor to cancel the engagement and give you your freedom?"
Chen Anning's breath was slightly suffocated.
Xie Xun was slightly relieved, "A five-year labor contract will give you a lifetime of wealth and freedom. It's a good deal."
Chen Anning curled her lips, took out a bottle of liquid poison and poured it on the dagger.
Xie Xun quickly took two steps back, his scalp numb and said: "Five into the courtyard, one million taels of silver."
Chen Anning continued to apply poison on the dagger unmoved.
Xie Xun took a deep breath and said, "Two million taels of silver."
Chen Anning paused slightly while applying the poison.
Xie Xun hurriedly said: "Five into the courtyard is already the standard for the royal family. Two million taels of silver, even if you don't invest and just sit back and have nothing, is enough for you to squander for a lifetime."
Chen Anning said nothing and continued to apply poison.
Xie Xun gritted his teeth and said: "Five into the courtyard, three million taels of silver!"
Chen Anning raised her eyelids and looked at him, "Continue."
She wanted to see how high he could get.
"Five into the courtyard, four million taels of silver!" Xie Xun said in pain, "This is the highest price I can give."
"Then there's no need to discuss it," Chen Anning put away the poison bottle and walked towards him slowly, "Let's take action, only one of us can survive today."
