Although Xiao Qingqian changed the topic, with the understanding that the Old Emperor had of him, he felt that Xiao Qingqian already had a plan.

”The south is not optimistic either!”

”I'm afraid we need to prepare food early.” Xiao Qingqian's face became gloomy.

If there was a flood in the south, would there be no harvests this year, would the people be able to eat and drink to their heart's content, and how would the victims be arranged? All these needed to be considered in advance.

”This son requests that we wait until this matter of Royal Grandmother is brought to light before we head south!”

Old Emperor had a face full of gratification, ”Ah Qian, we are very pleased that you have such foresight!”

Xiao Qingqian's face did not reveal even the slightest hint of smugness, and was only able to instantly condense these larger and larger drops of rain.

Even after three days, there were still no traces of investigation in the palace.

Seeing her restlessly walking back and forth, Wei Chengfeng knew that she was worried about Wei Qing.

”Princess, don't worry about this matter!”

An Ran looked at him and sighed, ”This princess simply cannot understand why royal father wants to throw Third Sister-in-Law into jail!”

Wei Chengfeng shook his head helplessly, this man with discerning eyes could see that Old Emperor was trying to lure the snake out of its cave.

This time, the poisoner used a slow poison, and wanted to frame Princess Chu. She had neglected the most important point, which was the brilliance of the Princess Chu's medical skills.

Before the needle was given, she had already noticed that there was something different about the Empress Dowager's pulse.

If the person who poisoned the empress dowager couldn't be found out thoroughly, there might be someone who would poison the empress dowager in the future. Moreover, the poison would definitely become more and more secretive!

The Princess Tranquil didn't even understand such a simple reasoning, so how could she do such a sinister thing as Zuo Xinci had said?

”Why are you looking at this princess like that?” An frown.

”It's nothing. If Princess wants to go to the dungeon to see the Princess Chu, I can arrange something for her!”

”Forget it, forget it. This princess is afraid of meeting the Third Sister-in-Law, so my heart is even more upset!” An Ran vexedly exhaled a mouthful of impure air.

Tzu Ning Palace.

Her master had requested her to send the empress dowager to heaven as soon as possible. This way, the conflict between Wei Jingnan and the imperial government would be completely stoked.

Tian Sisi kept the short note without batting an eyelid, and looked around.

The master must have passed on the matter of Wei Qing poisoning the empress dowager to Wei Jingnan, the Wei family had always been loyal and upright. If Wei Qing died because of injustice, Wei Jingnan would definitely resent the emperor, and from then on, agree to the master's cooperation!

Only, previously, Xiao Qingqian seemed to have some doubts towards her. If she made any more unusual movements at this time, it was possible that he might have been harmed.

After hesitating for an entire night, she received another short note the next morning.

Her master would not treasure the life of a person like her!

As long as the empress dowager could go to the west and the Old Emperor vented his anger on Wei Qing, his master's scam would be carried out smoothly.

Taking a deep breath, she thought for a while, then changed into a set of night clothes and quietly left the side hall.

When she was sneaking out of the side hall, Xiao Qingqian who was hidden in the dark suddenly appeared.

Looking at the pair of familiar eyes that was exposed on the outside, Xiao Qingqian suddenly remembered the man in black who tried to break into his study to steal the city map back in Prince Chu’s Mansion!

Tian Sisi!

He had suspected many people, but he never thought that Tian Sisi was actually the one who harmed the empress dowager, and even more so, that she was a spy that was hibernating by his side!
