Qi Yuling had said something about Xie Yao, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, and he thought it was really necessary to ask Chu Mu.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, the prince is inside." The servant stopped in front of the study door, bowed and made an invitation gesture.
Chu Jing walked directly in and said loudly: "Fourth brother, how have you been these past few days? I heard that you have been acting frequently recently, and I am careful to anger my father."
As soon as he finished speaking, he also saw Chu Mu.
At this time, Chu Mu was facing out the window, only showing his back.
Chu Jing frowned, walked to the side and sat down, "Fourth, I heard some news about Princess Han."
After speaking, he glanced at Chu Mu from the corner of his eye.
Before, whenever he mentioned Xie Yao, Chu Mu would look at him immediately, or at least have a reaction, but now he remained motionless, with a coldness still exuding from his body.
What's going on?
"Brother, tell me what you heard." Chu Mu then spoke, his voice cold.
Chu Jing heard the coldness in Chu Mu's words and was a little confused, "Who provoked the fourth brother and made the fourth brother so upset and angry? If you are inconvenient to take action, tell me and I will help you vent your anger!"
"Thank you for your concern, brother. I am fine." Chu Mu glanced sideways at Chu Jing, "Brother said that he heard some news about Princess Han. What is the news?"
Seeing that Chu Mu was unwilling to say anything, Chu Jing did not force it, "Your sister-in-law met Princess Han a few days ago, and she had her mouth full of sand and mud. I thought it was strange, so I came to find you."
Chu Mu didn't say anything, just looked at Chu Jing.
Chu Jing paused and continued: "Since Princess Han is yours, why is she so rude to your sister-in-law?"
"Based on your sister-in-law's description, I suddenly thought of a possibility. The current Princess Han is most likely the real Xie Yao!"
Chu Jing said it directly and looked at Chu Mu proudly, wanting to see the surprised expression on Chu Mu's face.
He knew that Chu Mu had been looking for Xie Yao with no results, so he would be very interested in Xie Yao's news.
But Chu Mu's face was expressionless, and he continued to look out the window, and snorted lightly, "I already know about this matter."
Not only did he know, but Xie Yao and Chu Han teamed up to destroy his secret guard camp!
Chu Jing was surprised and slightly startled, "You already knew this? Then why didn't you send someone to catch her? Have you given up already?"
"Of course I will not give up." Chu Mu looked coldly, "Not only that, I will also ask her to come to my door."
"Send it to your door?" Chu Jing frowned unexpectedly.
He knew Chu Mu, and Chu Mu was never a person who liked to brag, so he was even more curious about what Chu Mu could do to make Xie Yao, who had successfully escaped before, come back voluntarily!
"Brother, does he know about the notice at the city gate?" Chu Mu looked coldly.
"Everyone in the capital knows about that incident, and I naturally know it." After Chu Jing finished speaking, his eyes deepened, "Did you really do that thing?"
Chu Mu sneered and said nothing.
"You are confused!" Chu Jing said with a straight face, "The matter has completely escalated. I am afraid that even my father and mother will know about it. How should you end it?"
"Why do we have to end it?" Chu Mu asked with a sneer, "The turbid the water, the more interesting it is, and there will be people who can't restrain themselves and take the initiative to deal with the General's Mansion. There is no need for me to take action personally."
"Moreover, I just sent out a few notices out of boredom, how can my father punish me severely? What's more, no one can find evidence to prove that I ordered those notices."
"It's too dangerous to do this!" Chu Jing frowned, "You are bound to be at the forefront of the storm. If you are not careful, you will also be harmed! Just to find Xie Yao?"
Chu Mu's face suddenly darkened and he did not answer.
Only Xie Yao can cure his disease. If Xie Yao cannot be found, even if he can barely extend his life, he will not be able to escape death in the end!
Since he must die, why should he care so much?
"Brother, don't worry, I have my own plan." Chu Mu did not tell Chu Jing about the strange poison.
Chu Jing still frowned, "Brother knows that you want to use General Xie to threaten Xie Yao and force her to show up. This method is indeed good, but what's the use of just giving General Xie diarrhea? It's just diarrhea, don't say it was Xie Yao.
With treatment, even if you don’t see a doctor, you may be cured after a while.”
"Are you really going to threaten Xie Yao with General Xie's life? His life is indeed worthless, but now that Lao Wu is in the general's mansion and is leading his troops to set up defenses, how easy is it to kill General Xie? How can you threaten Xie Yao?
?”
In his impression, Chu Mu was always very rigorous in doing things, so why was he so careless this time?
"Brother, you just need to wait and see what happens. It won't be long before Xie Yao takes the initiative to appear in Prince Mu's Mansion." Chu Mu's lips curled up coldly.
His strange poison can only be cured by him. Even if Xie Yao has extraordinary medical skills, it will not help.
Seeing that Chu Mu was so confident, Chu Jing knew that it was useless to say anything, so he sighed and stopped continuing the topic.
…
On this day, the sky was bright as usual, and it seemed no different from usual days.
In the palace of Prince Mu, Chu Mu looked cold, with a little anxiety hidden in his eyes.
Today has passed the three-day period agreed between him and Xie Yao.
The reason why he set a three-day period was not only to test Xie Yao, but also because three days was the limit of that strange poison. If he couldn't get his antidote, General Xie would definitely die!
But time has passed, why hasn’t Xie Yao come yet?
"Here comes someone." He shouted towards the outside.
"I'm here to serve you." A guard came in immediately.
"Is there anything going on in the General's Mansion?" Chu Mu asked.
"Reporting to the prince, everything is normal in the General's Mansion and there is nothing unusual."
"Has anyone ever left the house?"
"Only King Han would go back to Prince Han's Mansion every day and then come back again. Princess Han never left. In addition, there were also servants from the General's Mansion who came out to do normal shopping, and people in lower positions followed them secretly without being discovered.
There are signs of purchasing medicinal materials." The guard knew what King Mu wanted to ask and answered directly.
Chu Mu frowned slightly, "Where is Wu Feng?"
"I left the General's Mansion very early."
"What did he do?"
"...I don't know how humble my position is." The guard was a little flustered.
"Didn't anyone keep an eye on it?" Chu Mu's face darkened.
"No. Wu Feng has great martial arts, and there is no one available in the secret guard camp. It's really a humble position..."
"Go down and gather everyone for me. Be sure to keep an eye on every move in the General's Mansion!"
"yes!"
At this moment, another guard ran in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Liu has gone to the General's Mansion!"
Chu Mu narrowed his eyes coldly, "Do you know his purpose of going to the General's Mansion?"
"It should be to announce the decree. Mr. Liu's trip was very grand, and he used the most standard ceremony for announcing the decree." The guard said respectfully.
