However, what kind of poison it was, even though there was no record of it in the system, it was impossible to find out.

"Empress, chenqie's body is unwell and unsuitable to drink tea." Knowing that it was poisonous, she naturally wouldn't drink it.

The empress's smile widened, "Prince Zhi's Concubine's words have actually reminded me that I haven't been feeling too well lately. The imperial physician also warned me not to drink tea, and it just so happens that there's soup in the kitchen. Why don't you accompany me for a bowl before we go?"

Just because of a single Xuanyuan Zhi, you dare to kill me? Furthermore, he even promised with two hands that if the tea leaves were to fail, they would be replaced with soup. How great was his hatred?

"Men, bring the soup to Prince Zhi's Concubine." The empress had obviously come prepared.

Chu Qingyao looked at the steaming bowl of soup, and almost cursed out loud. The empress took a sip, and unconsciously praised, "The cooking skills of the imperial kitchens are really good, no matter how much I drink, I can't drink enough."

Her face was full of smiles, but her eyes were unfocused. If one looked closely, they would see a hint of coldness in her eyes, as if Chu Qingyao had to die today.

"Since the Empress likes it so much, chenqie will not take away another's love." Chu Qingyao pushed aside the pot of soup.

"Prince Zhi's Concubine is too courteous, there are too many ingredients in the palace. I'll just let the chef continue cooking when I like. While talking, he took a sip, his face full of enjoyment, "Prince Zhi's Concubine, quickly try it, don't you like it?"

Chu Qingyao held the pot of soup in her hands for a long time, but she didn't put it in her mouth. Then, her hand slipped and the pot of soup immediately turned over. A string of blisters immediately appeared in her hand. "Ahhh!" She cried out in alarm and threw away the soup pot.

The clearly didn't want to drink it. However, she couldn't push him any further since he was already this hot.

"Prince Zhi's Concubine, how's your hand?"

Tears welled up in the corners of Chu Qingyao's eyes as she raised her heart-wrenching hands in terror. "Empress, chenqie is guilty. Please forgive me for flattering you." She really wasn't pretending. It really hurt!

The Queen was furious, but seeing that her hand was burnt beyond recognition, she said, "Next time, if there's a chance, let's invite the Prince Zhi's Concubine to drink again. I'm tired, you can leave!"

Even after leaving the Qianning Palace, Chu Qingyao still had some lingering fear. She still felt that there was something that was out of her imagination, how many times did it take for Bai Rouzhi to kill her just for a single Xuanyuan Zhi?

She left the palace with a restless mind. As she got on the carriage, she hastily took out some scalding ointment and felt very tired. She didn't want to come back to the palace again for the rest of her life. Suddenly, the horse that was pulling the carriage let out a loud hiss. A sharp arrow pierced through the carriage and nailed her shoulder one centimeter away.

Her face turned pale and she quickly laid down on the ground. Soon, a rain of arrows came flying in from the sky. A scream came from outside and the coachman died. After that, the carriage went out of control and started running.

She stretched out her hands and held on to the edge of the carriage. She couldn't see anything outside, and for the first time, she felt a sense of fear that she had never felt before.

"Quick, dodge! That horse seems to have gone crazy!" Someone outside exclaimed.

The voices grew louder and louder until they eventually disappeared into the distance. Fortunately, the speed of the car gradually slowed down. She opened the curtain and looked outside. There was a wave of fear in her eyes. There were at least five men in black following her. If these people were Xuanyuan Zhi's men, they would have saved her long ago, so they could only be assassins.

She quickly took out the potions from the system, randomly concocted some poison, and prepared to fight it out with them. Another arrow flew through the air. She saw the horse that was pulling the carriage crash to the ground. She jumped off the horse carriage as it flipped over.

He had thought that he would fall very miserably, or that he would be shot like a hedgehog. Suddenly, she heard a few miserable shrieks by her ear before she fell into an embrace that gave her peace of mind.

Her hands embraced him, and her body couldn't help but tremble. "Xuanyuan Zhi, why did you just arrive?"

Xuanyuan Zhi gently patted her back to comfort her. When she realized that her nose was full of tears, he had already carried her back to Blue Luan Courtyard.

Lowering his head to look at the woman who had just escaped death, Xuanyuan Zhi's sinister eyes became even colder. Today, if he was a step too late, this woman would have died.

The thought of her death made him so angry that he wanted to ruin everything around him. This emotion only appeared for an instant before being restrained by him. He would not allow himself to lose control like this.

He reached out his hand and pushed it away. "You have dirtied This King's clothes."

Chu Qingyao was stunned. It was really her imagination just now. She had thought that he was worried about her, that she was overthinking it. She stepped out of his embrace, embarrassed.

"You wash." Xuanyuan Zhi took off his outer garment, and directly threw it into her arms.

So what if I wash! What's the big deal! Chu Qingyao threw away her clothes. With how strong her hands were, it was likely she had broken a bubble. It was so painful.

"You don't need to pay attention to any orders from the palace in the recent days." His eyes fell on her swollen hands. "Who did it?"

When she mentioned this, she was angered, she waved her hand unkindly, and said in a weird tone, "Other than your old lover Bai Rouzhi, who would have the guts to do that? After meeting the empress dowager, the palace maid brought me to Qianning Palace. She served both poisoned tea and poisoned soup. This wangfei was truly flattered. "All of this was thanks to you, your highness. I am truly grateful."

Xuanyuan Zhi's face was gloomy, this woman's ability to mock people was truly growing. But why did he recognize the scent of vinegar?

He reached out to her. "Where's the medicine?"

Chu Qingyao was stunned, "What medicine?"

"Burn medicine." Xuanyuan Zhi stared at her, "Don't think that I don't know you have the ability to hide the medicine, take it out when you want to use it."

Chu Qingyao was shocked, how did he know? She definitely could not admit it.

She feigned ignorance as she looked at him, "What is the prince saying? What medicine? "

Xuanyuan Zhi's eyes became even more profound and in the end, dimmed for a bit, and very quickly they returned to their original state. Qi Sha, go find the scalding medicine. "

As soon as the ointment was delivered, he pushed her onto the chair in a bad mood and lightly applied his nails to the spot where she was scalded. The ointment was cool and refreshing, relieving the heart-wrenching pain.

His hand was very pretty, with long knuckles and distinct bones. He drew circles silently on the back of her hand, and after a long time, a faint numbness appeared. Her body trembled, not daring to look again.

After applying the ointment, he left the ointment, "This King tells you, she is not my sweetheart."

Was this an explanation to him?

After Xuanyuan Zhi left, Hong Tan hastily stepped forward. "Esteemed wangfei, your hands were burned by the empress?"

"More or less." Although it was on purpose, it was also forced on him by Bai Rouzhi.

When such a thing happened, she wanted to go to the Han family to hear the Countess' opinion. However, she was afraid that if she got too close to the Han family, it would bring disaster to them.

Unexpectedly, Old Lady Han had come knocking right after lunch.

"Little girl Yao'er, hurry up and let Ancestor see. Where are your injuries?" When the Prince Zhi's Concubine was summoned by the empress dowager, he was assassinated on his way back to his residence, which had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

"Grandmother, I'm fine.

The old mistress held her back as she cried out in heartache, "Quick, tell my grandfather what happened to your hand!" Chu Qingyao helped her to sit properly before she recounted in detail what happened after she entered the palace in the morning.

"Bai Rouzhi is so magnanimous, how did he become the empress?!" The Countess frowned. "She forced my Han Family's daughter to burn herself at all costs, and yet she's still unwilling to give up. Yao`er, think again. Have you ever offended her before?"

Chu Qingyao shook her head, "Other than you, Prince, Yao'er couldn't think of any other reason. When she was still the Imperial Concubine, she already had the intention to kill me. It's a good thing that you managed to get here in time, so that means you're still in great danger. "

"Grandmother heard that it was also the Prince who saved you this time. He …" Have you been nice to me recently? "

"Because of the prince, Yao'er was able to escape unscathed. Grandmother, please be at ease. He has always been very good to me."

The madame sighed, "You are lying to me. What happened to his fiancee that suddenly popped up?" I sent you, the true princess, to a corner, only to have her ascend to the throne room and live in the Celestial Pavilion. "What a big heart!"

"Grandmother, Yao'er knows medical skills. She has a technique that can help her, and she also has a large estate that her mother left behind. How could she not live well?" Chu Qingyao laughed. Seeing that Zu Du was even more worried, she knew that she had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected herself, "Grandmother, don't worry! Your highness is treating me very well! "

In order to convince the madame, she raised her scalded pig's paw, "Grandmother, look, this is the medicine that the Prince personally gave Yao'er."

"Little girl, you only know how to comfort people."

"Since we have time today, why not let Yao'er inspect my grandmother's body?" Helping the madame to bed, Chu Qingyao pretended to take her pulse. By this time, the medical system had already been activated.

The results showed that the blood sugar was high and everything else was normal. This was not a good sign. If he had diabetes, it would be troublesome. She went to the side and opened the medicine chest. She took out four antidiabetic drugs from the system and two bags of antidiabetic tea.

Seeing the nervous look on the madame's face, she smiled and helped her up, "Grandmother, you're in good health! However, you must eat less sweet food in the future. "

The old mistress was taken aback. "Little girl, how did you know that I love to eat sweet things recently?"

"It's on my pulse." Her face reddened, and she couldn't help but panic.

He called the maidservants the madame brought over and told her all about the method to take the hypoglycemic medicine and the hypoglycemic tea. He emphasized that she had to control the amount of sweets the madame consumed every day.

Originally, she wanted to let the old lady use the dinner before she left, but she insisted on returning. Chu Qingyao could only personally send her out. Along the way, she had wanted to ask the old lady several times if she knew who her real father was, but she restrained herself.

Actually, it didn't matter who was her biological father at all. If he had this daughter in his heart, why hadn't he sought her out all these years? Or did he not even know the existence of his daughter?

Before getting on the car, the old lady patted her, "It's good for Chu Yixiong's family to leave, but you still have to be wary of Fan Qingju. I heard that Chu Yuer is gone."

Chu Qingyao froze. It was good if she died.

Before she could even enter the mansion, He Lanxi called out to her, "Chu Qingyao, stop right there."

"What's the matter?"

"Where's Su Ruyi?"

"Celestial Pavilion."

He Lanxi pushed his way through her into the mansion and turned to look at her, "Chu Qingyao, you're so useless, you've let people into the room, and you're still pretending to be deaf and mute."

Chu Qingyao's expression was cold. She and Xuanyuan Zhi had not reached the point where they wanted to live or die for him. If he cares about himself, he would take care of Su Ruyi.

"He Lanxi, give up! "No one will marry the prince." He clearly knew that General He Lan was of the same heart as Xuanyuan Zhi and had even made his daughter a princess in order to divide their power. If He Lanxi married into the Prince Zhi's Mansion, he would become even stronger than Xuanyuan Zhi.

The Emperor will never allow that to happen.

He Lanxi's face turned white, he felt like someone had exposed his little secret to his shame and anger, "Chu Qingyao, who do you think you are, for you to care?"

Chu Qingyao sneered, there was no point in speaking any further. She threw He Lanxi down and leisurely returned to the Blue Luan Courtyard. Not long later, Hong Tan ran in and said that He Lanxi and Su Ruyi had started fighting.

"Fight, fight. Let's see who will get the smile of a beauty in the end." She suddenly thought of this sentence. Even if she said it, she felt that something was wrong. Xuanyuan Zhi was not considered a beauty, at most, she was just an unromantic person.

"What are you laughing at?" Xuanyuan Zhi suddenly came in from outside.

Her smile froze on her face, and she looked embarrassed. He walked up close and looked down condescendingly. "Tell This King, what made you laugh so happily?"
