NOVEL NEXT Chapter 128 Helped a lot
The two of them reached the entrance of the rockery with the faint light of the lantern.
Shen Chuwei stopped and said to Xiao Jinyan behind him: "Your Highness, please wait here while I go in and take out the things."
Shen Chu turned slightly to go in, but Xiao Jinyan grabbed his wrist, "It's so dark here that you can't even see the road clearly. What if you fall?"
Shen Chuwei showed a comforting smile to Xiao Jinyan, although it was dark and Xiao Jinyan couldn't see it.
"Your Highness, the things are right there, they won't fall."
Xiao Jinyan was still a little hesitant, "I'll go in with you and take a look."
"Your Highness, the entrance to the rockery is small and two people cannot enter. Just wait."
Shen Chuwei said, holding a lantern and walking in. It only took three steps to arrive. She bent down and lifted the flowerpot with one hand, turned around and walked out.
Xiao Jinyan stood guard at the entrance, looking inside from time to time, but it was dark and he saw nothing.
It wasn't until a petite figure came out of the rockery that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Chuwei came over happily and said, "Your Highness, I've taken it out."
"I'm here."
Shen Chuwei was not polite and allowed Xiao Jinyan to reach out and take what was in her hand.
The two returned the same way.
When he returned to the back room, Xiao Jinyan saw clearly that the thing he was carrying was a flowerpot with white chrysanthemums planted in it, and he frowned.
It is forbidden to grow white chrysanthemums in the inner courtyard of the palace, and they can only appear during funerals.
Now that the New Year is approaching, white chrysanthemums are even more taboo.
Shen Chuwei explained: "Your Highness, I didn't know it was white when I planted it. When it bloomed, I discovered it was white, so Chunxi put it in the rockery."
Xiao Jinyan raised his eyes and looked at Shen Chuwei, knowing that she made an unintentional mistake, "I know, the white chrysanthemum is ruined."
Shen Chuwei pointed to the mandala that had not yet bloomed under the chrysanthemum and said, "Your Highness, look at this."
Xiao Jinyan looked in the direction of Shen Chuwei's finger and saw a very green plant with leaves that were very similar in shape to a mandala. He looked at Shen Chuwei in surprise, "This is..."
Shen Chu said slightly: "Your Highness, this is a mandala."
Xiao Jinyan's cold eyes flashed with surprise, his mother was saved.
He stared at the mandala in disbelief for a long time, "Xiaojiu, how did you get it?"
Shen Chuwei started to talk nonsense, "I originally wanted to plant chrysanthemums, but I didn't expect that the chrysanthemums also contained mandala. Because they are poisonous, I asked Chunxi to put them into the rockery together."
This time, it was once again proven that Shen Chuwei was his lucky star. He could get a mandala to save his mother without leaving home. What kind of luck was this?
"Xiaojiu, you have helped me a lot this time, and my mother can be saved."
Shen Chu frowned slightly, "It is my honor to be able to help His Highness."
Xiao Jinyan felt that having Shen Chuwei was a lucky thing.
"However, I still have to go out tomorrow, otherwise the origin of Mandala is unknown and my father will become suspicious."
Shen Chu nodded slightly, "I understand, I only told His Highness and never mentioned it to anyone else."
Xiao Jinyan showed approval in his eyes, "You did the right thing. If others know that you have a mandala here, I'm afraid they will be framed as a poisoner."
"In this palace, there are murderous intentions hidden everywhere. If you are not careful, you will be imprisoned and your life will be at risk." When Xiao Jinyan said this, he deliberately emphasized his tone, just to let Shen Chuwei know that within the palace, Be more attentive.
Shen Chuwei responded obediently: "I understand."
Xiao Jinyan then left Xiyun Pavilion with Mandala and returned to the palace.
Xiao Jinyu was already waiting in the study. When he saw Xiao Jinyan pushing the door open, he raised his folding fan to cover his face.
"Brother, why are you so anxious to call me here?"
"Of course there is something important." Xiao Jinyan untied the fox fur and Liu Xi took it. He walked to the desk and sat down.
After Liu Xi put away the fox fur, he turned around and made tea.
After a while, two cups of hot tea were brought out and placed in front of the prince and King Yu respectively.
Xiao Jinyan picked up the tea cup and took two sips of tea before saying, "The queen has been chronically poisoned."
"What?" Xiao Jinyu didn't care about his red face when he heard this. He stood up and said in disbelief: "When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"
Xiao Jinyan saw Xiao Jinyu's red face and knew it was because of the fragrant powder. He was in a hurry when he came back just now and forgot to ask Shen Chuwei for some cream.
Fortunately, the problem was not serious and disappeared automatically after two days.
He asked knowingly: "Your face?"
Xiao Jinyu didn't care about his face at this moment, "My face is fine, please tell me what's wrong with my mother?"
Xiao Jinyan said: "The queen mother was chronically poisoned. Fortunately, she was discovered in time. Tomorrow the Imperial Palace will go out to look for medicinal materials."
"Why haven't I heard any news? I want to see my mother." Xiao Jinyu panicked, put away his folding fan and rushed out, but Xiao Jinyan held his shoulders down.
"Don't panic yet. Queen Mother was afraid that you would be worried, so she didn't let anyone tell you. There's no point in going now."
Xiao Jinyu became even more worried and a little guilty after hearing this.
"Then I can't help but visit my mother, right?"
Xiao Jinyan said, "The most important thing now is to catch the poisoner."
Xiao Jinyu paused after hearing this, "What I said makes sense, so where should we start?"
Xiao Jinyan: "You come closer."
Xiao Jinyu leaned over obediently.
Xiao Jinyan gave a few instructions in a low voice.
Xiao Jinyu looked at his brother with admiration, "Brother, I remember."
After Xiao Jinyu left, Xiao Jinyan passed the order to leave tomorrow.
When Xiao Jinyu stepped into his bedroom, he saw Miss Han sitting at the table drinking tea, looking like she was waiting for him.
He quickly opened his folding fan to cover his red face.
"Miss Han, why are you here again?"
Han Yan put down the teacup in his hand, looked up at Xiao Jinyu, with a cold tenderness between his eyebrows: "I came to see if Prince Yu can rest."
"I was planning to rest." Xiao Jinyu walked to the round table and sat down, facing Miss Han.
Han Yan stared at Xiao Jinyu for a while, and seeing that he was holding the fan, she asked curiously: "Why does Prince Yu cover his face?"
Xiao Jinyu smiled awkwardly, "I am not feeling well, and it is not suitable for me to show my face for the time being."
Han Yan stood up, came to Xiao Jinyu, and said softly: "Then I will wait for Prince Yu to undress."
Xiao Jinyu refused directly: "No, I can do it myself."
Han Yan's hand stopped in the air, and she said sadly: "Does Prince Yu dislike me?"
Xiao Jinyu didn't care about her red face when she heard it, and hurriedly comforted her: "No, Miss Han, don't think too much."
After putting down the fan, Han Yan saw Xiao Jinyu's red face, and reached out to touch her red cheek with doubts, "Why is Prince Yu's face so red?"
Xiao Jinyu felt the fingers on her cheek were cold, but she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, probably because her cheeks were a little hot.
"It's okay to be in the cold wind for a long time."
