Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1762

Chapter 1762

The prince consort said, take it and use it first, and don’t be too stingy with your loyal subordinates.

Later, the first person he rewarded was the eunuch An who was beside him, because he was sure that if he encountered danger one day and only one person could survive, eunuch An would be the one who would protect him with his own life.

But at this moment, the prince's voice was as light as the falling snow, "What else?"

Eunuch An clenched his hands tightly, and once the arrow was shot, there was no turning back. "The rumor that the princess is the Phoenix Girl of Heaven has been around for a long time. Your Highness, please think about the connection between them."

"What's the connection?" Xiao Zhi's tone was still calm, without any ups and downs, and no sadness or joy could be seen.

Seeing his master's nonchalant look, Eunuch An was so anxious that sweat oozed from his forehead, "Your Highness! If the consort is really the emperor's prince who was exiled to the common people, and married the Phoenix Girl of Heaven's Destiny. Now he has followed the emperor to the battlefield and made unprecedented military achievements, this, this, this, between these three..."

"Oh," Xiao Zhi suddenly sneered, and tapped lightly on the rosewood table with his bony fingers. Every tap was like a life-threatening sound. "Eunuch An's thoughts are more complicated than the winding corridors in the Imperial Garden."

"This old slave deserves death!" Eunuch An fell to his knees, his forehead hitting the gold bricks with a dull thud. A strand of gray hair fell from the edge of his black gauze crown, shaking with his trembling body. "This old slave just... just couldn't bear to see His Highness being kept in the dark. This old slave only wanted to share the worries of his master!"

"I think you're worrying too much." Xiao Zhi slowly opened the lid of the teacup, and the crisp sound of celadon hitting each other was particularly piercing in the palace. He suddenly thought of something, stood up abruptly, and the teacup fell over, leaving a brown mark on the memorial, "What on earth did you do to the imperial sister?"

Eunuch An's whole body trembled violently, and he slammed his head on the ground again, this time so hard that even the bronze crane lamp in the corner of the hall seemed to shake. "This old servant is sincere, and heaven and earth can bear witness to it."

A cold light suddenly flashed in Xiao Zhi's eyes. He picked up the celadon teacup at hand and threw it at Eunuch An.

"boom!"

The teacup shattered on Eunuch An's forehead, porcelain pieces splattering everywhere. A streak of blood flowed down the old eunuch's wrinkled forehead, mixed with tea foam, and drew a glaring red mark on his pale face.

"Your Highness, please calm down!" Eunuch An did not dare to wipe the blood, allowing it to drip down his cheek, blooming into dark red.

Xiao Zhi grabbed Eunuch An by the collar, and his strength was so strong that he almost lifted the old bones up: "Tell me! What did you do to the imperial sister?"

......

In Tinglan Courtyard, Shen Siyuan held a piece of silver-threaded charcoal and examined it carefully under the candlelight. A few strange blue lines could be vaguely seen on the charcoal, and a very faint sweet smell could be smelled when one got close.

"There is 'Hundred Days of Drunkenness' in the carbon." His voice was tense, and he glanced at Shi Anxia in surprise, his eyes dark and unclear.

"Hundred Days of Drunk? Mixed in the silver charcoal, it burns colorless and odorless." Liang Yanbing was furious and clenched the handkerchief in her hand. "You want to kill the princess!"

Doctor Shen nodded, the candlelight casting a flickering shadow under his eyes, "This poison enters the body through breathing and can remain dormant for several days. On weekdays, it just makes people feel weak, but once the blood and qi surge... such as during childbirth, it will cause hemorrhage. At that time..."

Liang Yanbing was horrified, "This silver charcoal was given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself! Could it be that he..." Before she could finish her words, hurried footsteps were heard from outside.

Bei Hui walked in with a light sweat on her forehead, "Madam, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is visiting late at night."

Shi Anxia was not surprised, nodded, and gave the order, "Your Highness, please go to the main hall for tea. I will be there later."

After Bei Hui left, she slowly reminded him, "Everything you saw and heard today should be as if it had never happened. Is it possible?"
