Late at night, the guards held lanterns and led the way, leading Chu Han all the way to the Luohua Palace.
"Your Highness King Han, Princess Han is inside." The guard made an inviting gesture.
Chu Han stepped in directly with concern in his eyes.
Just as the guard was about to follow, Chu Han turned around and stopped him, "I am detoxifying, and no one else is allowed to be present."
The guard hesitated and said, "Yes, the humble position is outside."
As long as the poison of Princess Han can be detoxified, it doesn't matter whether he can get in or not.
In Luohua Palace, Chu Han came to Xie Yao's side immediately, looking at him with concern, and at the same time waved away another guard.
After the guards were completely out, Xie Yao opened her eyes and whispered: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
She squinted her eyes to see Chu Han's worried expression just now.
Why is Chu Han so nervous?
Seeing Xie Yao open her eyes, Chu Han felt relieved and lowered his voice, "Are you not poisoned?"
Xie Yao shook her head, "The Queen Mother is not so blatant as to openly poison me. I used a little trick to make the guards believe it."
Chu Han's eyes suddenly softened, with concern. Are the guards in the palace so easy to deceive?
"It's good that she's not poisoned. So you came to me for Chu Rui's business?" He understood Xie Yao. Since he wasn't poisoned, he must have something to do with him.
"You already know, right?" Xie Yao asked.
Chu Han nodded.
"I'm not the murderer! I was still in the General's Mansion when the incident happened and I never went back." Xie Yao explained.
"Let's get to the point. I know it's not you." Chu Han urged directly.
Xie Yao's heart suddenly calmed down after hearing this, and she felt a rare sense of comfort amidst the tense emotions, "Tomorrow is the day of the funeral of my father and brother. I must clear my suspicion as soon as possible and go to the funeral! So, I
I was wondering if you have started investigating and if there are any clues?"
Chu Han's eyes narrowed slightly, "I have sealed Prince Han's Mansion and no one is allowed to enter or exit. The guards are searching Ziyan Pavilion and have found a piece of blood clothing. It is exactly the same color and size as one of yours, but on the blood clothing is
The traces of clothing prove that the murderer is smaller than you."
"What other clues are there? Have you found the murder weapon?" Xie Yao looked deeply.
Chu Han shook his head, "It seems that the other party only framed the bloody suit and did not leave the murder weapon as a frame-up."
"Are you saying that the murderer deliberately wore my clothes to frame Shangguan Yue?" Xie Yao was a little confused.
"She just pretended to frame Shangguan Yue because the bloody clothes were hidden in the cabinet and were easy to find." Chu Han expressed his analysis, "I think this move is somewhat deliberate."
Xie Yao thought for a while and expressed her analysis, "Princess Rui insisted that it was me who committed the murder. She should have seen the murderer. With her courage, she would not dare to harm herself, so she was probably kept in the dark.
.The murderer most likely used disguises or other means to make Princess Rui think that the perpetrator was me."
"If you want to get more clues, you must meet Princess Rui."
Chu Han knew Xie Yao's plan and said slowly: "Princess Rui is in Fengyi Palace, guarded by her mother. No one can see her, unless you have your father's will."
"Then I will go see my father and ask for orders to investigate this matter thoroughly." Xie Yao's eyes were firm.
No matter what difficulties and obstacles there may be on the road ahead, there is only one thing she has to do, and that is to overcome all difficulties!
Chu Han raised his eyes and glanced at the time, "Then as soon as possible. It's past the time of the child, and my father will take a rest soon."
"Let's leave now!" Xie Yao pushed out the door directly and walked towards the gate of Luohua Palace.
The guards outside heard the commotion and subconsciously stretched out their hands to stop her, "Princess Han, please stay! Without the emperor's will, you are not allowed to leave the Luohua Palace!"
King Han's antidote was indeed miraculous. Only a short time had passed before Princess Han's poison was completely cured, and there was no sign of poisoning at all.
"I have something important to see my father. It's about Princess Rui! If it delays the important matter, can you afford it?" Xie Yao scolded her coldly, exerting force on her feet, trying to force her way in.
As soon as the guard heard that Princess Han wanted to see the emperor, and the news was about Princess Rui, the guard subconsciously relaxed a little, and Xie Yao forced her way through.
Just as the guards were about to give chase, Chu Han appeared with a cold voice, "If you are worried, just follow, but there is no need to stop me. If anything happens, I will be responsible."
"Yes." As soon as the two guards heard that someone was in charge, they followed obediently.
No one noticed that just as they left Luohua Palace, a figure quickly rushed towards Fengyi Palace to deliver the news.
Xie Yao and Chu Han were very fast and arrived at the imperial study room not long after.
When Eunuch Liu saw King Han and then Princess Han, he already understood something in his heart, "I have met His Highness King Han and Princess Han."
"Excuse me, Eunuch Liu, let me know. I want to see my father now." Chu Han took the initiative to speak.
"This... the queen has just entered, and the emperor also ordered her to come down and take a rest after reviewing the few memorials on hand. No one will be seen." Eunuch Liu was a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, just tell it truthfully." Chu Han said firmly.
Xie Yao's eyebrows moved slightly, the Queen is here too? She moves really fast.
Eunuch Liu could only nod in agreement, "I wonder what is going on with His Highness Prince Han? Can you tell me this, so I can convey it to you on my behalf?"
"Just tell Father, it's about Princess Rui." Chu Han didn't say much.
"Okay, King Han and Princess Han, please wait a moment. I will go in right now." Eunuch Liu turned around and entered the royal study.
After a while, Eunuch Liu came out and said, "Prince Han, Princess Han, your Majesty has invited me."
Xie Yao's lips curled up slightly. She thought Emperor Zhaochu would shut her out like last time, but she didn't expect that he would see her directly.
Chu Han and Xie Yao directly entered the imperial study, knelt down and saluted Emperor Zhaochu, "I have met my father and the emperor and my mother."
"My daughter-in-law has met her father and mother." Xie Yao also saluted.
In the royal study, Emperor Zhaochu was sitting behind the desk, and the queen was opposite Emperor Zhaochu. She didn't know what she said.
Seeing the two people coming in, neither Emperor Zhaochu nor the Queen spoke again.
"Lao Wu, did you find out something? You want to come to the palace to see me so late?" After Emperor Zhaochu finished speaking, he glanced at Xie Yao with a cold look, "Princess Han, I ordered the general to
You took me to Luohua Palace to rest, how dare you disobey the imperial edict, stay in Luohua Palace, and come to see me in the imperial study?"
"Father Mingjian. There have been new clues about Princess Rui's injury. Please allow me to investigate this matter, prove my innocence, and give an explanation to Princess Rui!" Xie Yao spoke with a sonorous voice.
.
Emperor Zhaochu did not answer, but gave Xie Yao a cold look.
"Princess Han, you are the murderer of Rui'er. Why are you pretentious here? You said it was an investigation, but from my point of view, you are just trying to clear your name!" The queen spoke from the side, her eyes cold.
