Chu Wenhong and Chu Wenjin looked at the leisurely Chu Yunxi thoughtfully. His sister was so calm. Could it be that everything was under her control?
The one who doesn't want to be is probably not the Dongfang Prince, but the Eighth Princess, right?
Jun Zifeng also thought for a moment before turning around to face everyone.
"Zifeng made poor arrangements today and has neglected everyone. How about we get off the boat and walk along the lake to enjoy the scenery and relax?"
With several princes gone, Princess Shengya might target him alone. Jun Zifeng thought that it would be better to have more space.
In fact, the princess was poisoned, and everyone was afraid of being implicated. Sitting in the cabin where the crime occurred, they felt nervous.
I was relieved to get off the boat and see the lotus flowers in the lake, and they all nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to blame yourself. Who would have thought that the Crown Prince of Dongyi Kingdom would have evil intentions."
"Yes, fortunately the Eighth Princess saved the day by auspicious people and good fortune."
Princess Shengya was also delighted. She had a lively personality and wanted her to stay on the boat admiring the lake and chatting about worldly things. It would be better for her to be free on the shore.
"Yunxi, Miss Su, let's go."
She took one of them by the hand and got off the boat first.
Seeing that Princess Shengya was satisfied, Jun Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was going to entertain the princess today.
Princess Shengya took the two of them, slightly away from the others, found a secluded corner, and then stopped.
Seeing no one around, he asked Chu Yunxi in a low voice.
"Tell me honestly, what happened just now?"
Chu Yunxi opened her mouth slightly. Did she show it so obviously?
"Cousin, do you think I know about it?"
Su Yan nodded.
"You are such a warm-hearted person. If you hadn't known about it and saw something happened to the Eighth Princess, why would you have stayed to admire the lake? You would have followed her back to the palace long ago."
Chu Yunxi held her forehead and said, "It's over. Her acting skills are not enough." She bit her lower lip pitifully, and Chu Yunxi clasped her hands together.
"You won't betray me, right?"
Princess Shengya and Su Yan looked at each other, smiled maliciously, and each held one of Chu Yunxi's arms.
"If you don't recruit from the ground up, I will send you to see an official."
"Okay, okay, I'll do it, I'll do it."
From a distance, Jun Zifeng looked at the three people laughing together and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
Fortunately, he has been worried about being entangled by Princess Shengya. It seems that Chu Yunxi's charm is greater.
He took another look at the man surrounded in the middle, smiling like a flower, and then looked away, looking at the lotus in the lake, with tenderness in his eyes, and whispered:
"Clear water brings out hibiscus, and nature removes the carvings."
Admiring the scenery of the lake and mountains, the nervousness caused by Princess Wantao's poisoning was quickly diluted.
The person involved, Princess Wantao, was kneeling in front of the emperor with a pale face, looking pitiful.
"Father, please make the decision for Wantao. Wantao is so close that she will never see you again."
Princess Wantao wiped away her tears, while the emperor looked sulky. Who wanted to ruin his affairs?
"Wantao, get up and show Princess Wantao her seat."
"Thank you, Father."
Princess Wantao wiped her tears, was helped to one side by the palace maid, and sat down.
The emperor looked at Jun Lingyun.
"Can you find out who did it?"
Jun Lingyun looked at Dongfang Muze, who had been silent.
"Father, the emperor's sister was poisoned after drinking the wine given by Prince Dongfang. If not for Dr. Li's superb medical skills, the emperor's sister would have died."
Doctor Li, who was praised for his superb medical skills twice, was both happy and a little guilty.
"Reporting to your Majesty, I have already checked that the glass of wine that the Eighth Princess drank was indeed poisonous."
It was rare that the emperor couldn't sit still and stood up suddenly. What were they talking about? Dongfang Muze, poisoning Wantao?
Seeing the emperor looking at him questioningly, Dongfang Muze clasped his fists.
"Emperor Yunxiao Rongzhen, everyone on the boat drank Xiao Wang's wine, but only Princess Wantao was poisoned."
"Prince Dongfang may have forgotten that not only did you provide the wine, but you also asked for the wine glass to be changed."
Jun Lingyun reminded.
Dongfang Muze felt a knot in his heart, recalling Chu Yunxi's proposal to have a drink together. Perhaps at that time, he had already been plotted.
Chu Yunxi said it was a pity for the luminous cup, perhaps sighing that such a beautiful luminous cup should be used for such a purpose. It was a pity that he had no idea at that time.
He took advantage of his suspicion and led him into a trap. It is true that women have the most poisonous hearts.
"Your Majesty, why did the little king poison him in public? Isn't he asking for his own death? No one with a brain would do this. There must be some hidden reason behind the eighth princess' poisoning."
"This is the genius of Prince Dongfang. He uses the most unlikely situations to achieve his goals so as to clear himself from suspicion."
Dongfang Muze sneered and looked at Jun Lingyun.
"Prince Jun, what do you think the little king's purpose is?"
Jun Lingyun also looked back, his eyes cold.
"Maybe you have never thought about having to wait two years before getting married to Wantao. Maybe there is someone else you covet."
The emperor's eyebrows twitched, remembering that Dongfang Muze asked him to marry Chu Yunxi. Among his princesses, only Wantao was of the right age. If Wantao died...
Feeling the emperor's anger, Dongfang Muze's heart skipped a beat. Jun Lingyun could have taken advantage of this.
Once Emperor Yunxiao decides that he wants to kill the Eighth Princess, he will not let it go.
Dongfang Muze's eyes swayed before he calmed down again. Then Jun Lingyun said:
"Maybe the eighth princess didn't want to get married, so her royal brother and sister-in-law teamed up to plan this scene."
The emperor was led by the words of these two people, and suddenly felt that what everyone said made sense.
Dongfang Muze raised another possibility.
"Maybe it was the person sitting next to the eighth princess who took the opportunity to strike, but that's not necessarily the case. Prince Jun didn't bring the suspect back with him to confront him, but only held the little king. What's the point?"
The emperor sat down slowly. He still needed to calm down before clarifying the facts.
"Who is sitting next to the eighth princess?"
"Father, sitting next to my daughter are Princess Shengya and Miss Su of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. They will not harm my daughter."
Princess Wantao spoke up to explain to the two of them.
"Eighth Princess, you know people but not their hearts. There are three kingdoms to the north of Nanyan Kingdom. Who can say for sure whether Nanyan would like to see Dongyi and Yunxiao Kingdom coexist peacefully?"
Dongfang Muze is sincere and sincere.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, please be sure to be aware of this and clear the little king's name. Don't let the villain succeed and destroy the diplomatic relations between our two countries."
The emperor narrowed his eyes.
"Prince Dongfang, I ask you now, are you willing to use three cities to marry my eighth princess and get engaged to her?"
"Father?"
The eighth princess stood up suddenly and staggered a few times due to dizziness. Fortunately, the palace maid supported her.
"Father, my daughter has been poisoned, and Prince Dongfang is the most suspected. Why do you want your daughter to marry him?"
Princess Wantao really didn't expect that her father could be so cruel to her. What if it was really Dongfang Muze who poisoned her? Will she still be able to live well when she marries to the Dongyi Kingdom in the future?
In the eyes of the father, only those three cities were there, and there was no life or death for her daughter.
"Come here, help the eighth princess go back to recuperate."
The emperor did not look at Princess Wantao's injured eyes and ordered her to be taken away. There was no need for a woman to participate in national affairs.
