in shot through his arm.He saw that the queen held a transparent tube in her hand, the front end of which resembled a silver needle.The silver needle pierced his skin. The princess pushed the back end...Zhou Dequan had lived in this palace since he was seven years old. He had seen too many people's hearts in the palace, so how could he not understand what Xu Shiru was trying to do now.

Xu Shirui can't wait for Princess Chen to die.

Zhou Dequan: "I wonder why Princess Chaoyang is so concerned about the affairs of Princess Chen"

Zhou Dequan's question left Xu Shirui stunned.

As expected, ginger is still the most potent.

At the same time that Zhou Dequan shifted the focus of her questioning, he also asked the most important question.

After a moment of surprise, Xu Shirui's expression returned to normal.

Xu Shiru came especially to see how the Crown Princess died, so she was naturally well-prepared.

Xu Shirui explained: "Zhou Gonggong, the rumors about the Crown Princess in the streets have become quite a stir. It concerns the reputation of the royal family. The Empress is also very concerned about this matter. I came here today by order of the Empress. If the Crown Princess is truly seeking fame and fortune and deceiving people, the Empress will not condone her actions and will investigate this thoroughly."

Zhou Dequan looked at Xu Shirui with suspicion.

If this had happened earlier, the Crown Prince would have likely been seen as the next heir apparent. It's understandable that the Empress would be wary of him.

But now, even if the Crown Prince didn't die and survived under the Crown Princess's medical skills, he is already a cripple.

The Crown Prince has absolutely no chance of becoming the next heir apparent. Why would the Empress go to such lengths as sending Xu Shirui to keep an eye on the Crown Princess

At that moment, Zhou Dequan only felt that this matter had a lot to do with Xu Shirui. She was just using the empress as an excuse.

Zhou Dequan said: "Since that's the case, I hope Princess Chaoyang will remain calm. Saving people is not something that can be rushed, especially when Chen Lingyue's condition is complex and severe."

Zhou Dequan had made his point clear, so Xu Shirui didn't press him further.

Xu Shirui curled her lips into a fake smile and said, "As Zhou Gonggong said."

Xu Shiru, after speaking, turned her gaze to a large banyan tree beside her, which could hide secret guards.

She, Xu Shirui, wasn't that naive. Though she believed Ji Qingxuan was incapable of curing Chen Lingyue.

It is highly likely that Chen Lingyue in the room is already dead, and Qi Qingxuan is just hiding inside.

But her late father had once taught her that nothing is absolute, and there's always a possibility.

If, by any chance, Ji Qingxuan really had the ability to cure Chen Lingyue's illness, then Ji Qingxuan would become a future threat.

Although such a scenario is extremely unlikely.

Better safe than sorry.

She must be careful.

Chen Lingyue cannot live, and Ji Qingxuan must also die.

Inside the operating room, just like when she had operated on Nangong Ye last time, after a long surgery, Qing Xuan’s back was completely soaked with sweat, her face had turned from pale to bluish, and even her lips had lost their color.

To keep her focus, and with not the slightest deviation in her hands, she bit her lip tightly.

The metallic tang of rust filled Qingxuan's mouth, the pain forcing him to clench his jaw and remain conscious.

Time flew by. Zhou Hong stood at the doorway, her eyes wide open, holding a can of anesthetic spray in her hand. Even though her hand ached from holding it, she didn't dare to be careless, maintaining a vigilant posture.

Zhou Hong is very clear that this treatment is very important for her master.

A slight mishap, if Master's surgery were to be interrupted and lead to failure, then perhaps the entire Chen Wangfu would be gone.

However, just then, Zhou Dequan's loud shouts came from outside.

Zhou Dequan: "There is an assassin!"

Before Zhou Dequan could finish his words, a dark shadow broke through the window and darted into the room.

At this moment, the action was swift. Zhou Hong saw the assassin instantly, and with all her might, she moved at her fastest speed to block the assassin's path.

The assassin raised his head, his eyes cold and filled with murderous intent.

Zhou Hong froze all over.

In that instant, as if they had looked into each other's eyes, she was already dead at the assassin's hand.

In the next moment, a flash of cold light.

The assassin drew a soft sword from his waist and lunged at Zhou Hong's chest.

Faced with the sudden blade, Zhou Hong was not afraid of death, but at this moment, she worried that Qing Xuan couldn't concentrate on treating Chen Lingyue.

She absolutely cannot let the assassins disturb her master!

Zhou Hong held her breath and picked up the anesthetic spray from her hand, spraying it towards the assassin's eyes.rious gazes towards Ling Luo.At this time, Qingxuan spoke up loudly again: "It's not just Wuyi Ju. Afterward, I heard that someone else impersonated Princess Lingruo and caused a commotion with the Wa...
