Early the next morning, they divided into two groups.

Xiao Shuo led people to continue to the border, while Xie Lan and Tao Yaoyao escorted Mr. Li to Prince Xin's Mansion. At this time, Prince Xin also received a letter from Fei Ge.

In the study, King Xin looked at the secret letter in his hand solemnly. His hand hanging on one side was tapping on the table. A man who looked like a counselor stood aside. After reading the secret letter, he glanced at the letter. The king's look on his face made him speak.

"This person must stay."

The counselor came to King Xin and suggested with a serious face, "Although everyone in the court is optimistic about the second prince, His Majesty has never made any statement.

If we say that the most capable among these princes is King Dingbei, the emperor's attitude towards him may have been cold in the past, but now it is a little more intriguing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had any attacks while he was protecting Miss Tao. Furthermore, among these princes, the third prince was the one whom His Majesty loved most in the past.

The truth behind the death of the third prince has not yet been found out, but most people suspect the second prince.

I'm afraid the emperor thinks so in his heart. "

The counselor's words were exactly what King Xin didn't say, but...this Lord Li is a trouble after all. "

Even if the second prince is not the first choice in His Majesty's heart, he is still the prince, and he is not someone they can offend casually. Besides, it's easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden one.

Even for a favored prince like the third prince, the second prince should be killed when necessary, let alone him, a king of the opposite sex who has long been feared by His Majesty?

It didn't matter if he lost his life alone, but he couldn't risk the lives of his whole family.

Even though King Dingbei had spoken, he couldn't refuse directly.

He had to think carefully about this matter to avoid offending King Dingbei.

"Father, accompany Zheng'er to fly a kite. Mom said that the weather today is really good. If you fly a kite, you can definitely fly it very high. Father, Zheng'er wants to fly a kite and fly it high to show her father."

Li Zheng walked in holding a kite with pillars painted on it. When King Xin saw this child, his original solemn expression darkened a bit.

This son was once his pride, but because of an accident, he became what he is now. Although a life was saved, if he could be cured...

"Your Majesty, Miss Tao is with King Dingbei now. Didn't you also say before that you were looking for a suitable time to ask Miss Tao to see the prince's doctor?

Maybe this is the best time. "

King Xin was still feeling sorry for Li Zheng, but his eyes lit up when he heard the counselor's words.

Yes, this time is indeed the right time.

Thinking of this, King Xin changed his solemn attitude and threw the secret letter into the charcoal basin. He stood up and ordered his counselors to open the door to welcome the guests, while taking Li Zheng to the school grounds.

"Just a fool. Why are your father so patient?" Li Yan, the second son of King Xin's palace, was the son of King Xin's favorite concubine. He might have been honest in the past, but since Li Zheng became stupid, his ambitions have grown day by day, and now he is no longer even Concealing his ambition, he wanted to tell King Xin that he was the best candidate for the crown prince.

In the past, even if his father saw his ambitions, he would turn a blind eye. But recently, for some unknown reason, his father actually started to warn him. He also said that as long as that fool lives for a day, he will trust the prince of the palace. One day.

Live a day? What if he dies?

A plan flashed in Li Yan's mind, and then the smile in his eyes deepened.

"If something unexpected happens in the school field, is it normal?" Li Yan looked in the direction of the teaching field with a meaningful smile in his eyes.

When the servant saw this, he immediately lowered his head to suppress the fear in his heart.

"Father, do you think the kite flown by Zheng'er is high? The color of the kite chosen by Zheng'er today is my father's favorite." Li Zheng looked at King Xin flatteringly, "My servant said that my father has not been in a good mood these past two days. Why is father frowning because Zheng'er's homework is not very good?"

"It has nothing to do with you." His unhappy mood these past two days did have something to do with him, but it didn't have much to do with it.

Although this son is stupid, he is still as filial as before.

King Xin looked at his innocent face, and all the pressure in his heart disappeared at this moment.

After the two of them stayed in the training ground for more than half an hour, a servant came over to report, "A distinguished guest is here."

In order to cover up their whereabouts, Xie Lan and Tao Yaoyao did not report their homes. King Xin also thought of this, so he sent his confidants to greet them at the door early.

Now that he knew they had arrived, he immediately took Li Zheng out to greet them.

"Miss Tao." Li Zheng still remembered Tao Yaoyao and had a good impression of her, so he was in a surprisingly good mood when he saw her.

Xie Lan frowned at this.

When King Xin saw this, he pulled Li Zheng in a funny way and invited the two of them in.

When Li Yan learned that there was a guest at the door, he hurried over to help. Unexpectedly, he arrived a step too late. When he chased him to the study, he was blocked by the servants outside the door and refused to let him in. Li Yan was so angry that he almost yelled.

"A fool can accompany his father to entertain guests. Why can't he, just because he is a concubine? Is that fool the prince? Since ancient times, high positions have been occupied by capable people. In the past, he may have some abilities, but now, he How to compare with this young master. That is to say, the father is partial. Otherwise, the position of the heir apparent would have already been in my possession."

Li Yan went over happily and came back angrily.

When his aunt learned about this, she felt aggrieved for him, but he was not in a hurry to ask Li Yan to show off to the prince now. Instead, he changed his approach and said, "I heard that the distinguished guests who came to visit today are a man and a woman. They don't seem to be related. Generally, you said that if we help them clarify this relationship..."

"No." Li Yan was worried that if this move was self-defeating, not only would it not be of help, but it would make him even more disgusted by his father.

"When distinguished guests come to visit, my father will definitely host a banquet to entertain them. If my son is more diligent then, maybe he can make his father happier."

When Li Yan and his son were hiding in the house trying to get close to the distinguished guest, King Xin mentioned his conditions, "Keeping Mr. Li here is an extremely dangerous thing for King Xin's palace.

I'm sorry that I can't be as free and carefree as before, without any scruples. As this person gets older, he becomes less courageous when it comes to things he cares about. "

When King Xin spoke, he looked at Li Zheng intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Zheng didn't know anything, but he smiled cheerfully when his father looked at him. Tao Yaoyao and Xie Lan understood what he meant.

Xie Lan didn't say anything. Tao Yaoyao originally planned to help Li Zheng treat her illness, but things happened one after another and she didn't take the time. Later, King Xin took the whole family back to the fiefdom.

Now that she is here and King Xin has taken the initiative to mention this matter, she naturally has no reason to refuse.

"Let me check the prince's pulse first." Tao Yaoyao sat next to Li Zheng, took his hand and began to check the pulse. The last time he checked his pulse, he showed no signs of poisoning. In addition, King Xin gave He arranged for a doctor and he was in good health.

But now she felt his pulse again, and she could clearly feel that the poison in his body had deepened a lot, and his physical condition was getting worse.

"But there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him." King Xin's face darkened when he learned that the signs of Li Zheng's poisoning had worsened.

What this sentence means, everyone present is smart, and it is clear without Tao Yaoyao's detailed explanation.

"His current symptoms are strong on the outside and dry on the inside. In other words, the poison he has been poisoned will start to corrode from the inside of the body first. By the time you notice something is wrong, the person will be hopeless."

In fact, Li Zheng's condition was a bit more serious than Tao Yaoyao said. It could be said that if she had arrived any later, his health would be beyond repair.

But even so, she was sure to cure Li Zheng. So she didn't tell King Xin about this.

After all, after what she said just now, King Xin's face became extremely ugly. If she says anything else now, I'm afraid King Xin will become restless.

"Give me seven days. After seven days, the prince can return to his former self." After Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, she thought of something and added, "But the premise is to find the person who poisoned the house, otherwise I will detoxify in front. That person is poisoning you from behind..."

King Xin assured Tao Yaoyao with a dark face, "I will handle this matter personally."

"That's good."

When Xie Lan followed King Xin to settle Master Li, Tao Yaoyao followed the servant to the guest room. I met a man in red on the road. This man had peach blossom eyes, and his eyes looked a little frivolous when he looked at him.

When she passed by him, he even winked at her.

If an ordinary woman encountered such a thing, she would definitely be angry, hide and sulk, but Tao Yaoyao took out the medicine bottle without changing her expression and spilled some while he wasn't paying attention.

"I am a little tired after traveling all the way. You all can go down."

After the servants left, Tao Yaoyao counted the time and realized that the poison on Li Yan was about to take effect.

At this time, Li Yan felt itchy all over his body. At first, he thought he was allergic to something he touched. After consulting the doctor, the doctor prescribed some medicine, but after taking it, it had no effect at all.

The symptoms are even getting worse.

Li Yan cherished this face the most, but the itching on his face was the most severe. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and went to scratch it.

So in the evening, when King Xin hosted a banquet for Xie Lan and Tao Yaoyao, Li Yan stared at a pig's head coming over. Originally, he wanted to look good, but now he only had to look embarrassed.

However, even though his father personally sent someone to invite him, he did not dare to refuse.

"What's the matter with your face?" King Xin suddenly darkened his face when he saw his swollen pig's head, "Did you go out to cause trouble again?"

When he acts like this, he offends people.

"Father, you are wronged. My son has not been out today." When he glanced at Tao Yaoyao with his peripheral vision, he saw the slightly mocking smile on her face. He suddenly thought of something and suddenly realized, "It's you... it's You harmed me."

Li Yan said that he was about to rush over to settle the score with Tao Yaoyao, but as soon as he stood up, he was stopped by King Xin.

"What are you doing? If you don't stop while I am here, do you still care about me as your father?"
