ianliye to Xiao Yufu. He said he had spent a lot of money to buy it.>Xiao Yu Fu was a stunning beauty, almost the ideal woman in the eyes of every man in the capital. Liang Wang Qian Li had admired he..."The common woman dares not speculate on Your Majesty's intentions, please show me the way!" Xiao Yuge cursed in her heart: summoning her to the palace in such a hurry, and now playing riddles with her here, these people under the palace walls truly enjoy this manner of speaking in circles. Can they not just be straightforward

The emperor and the state preceptor exchanged glances. The state preceptor understood, and began to question: “Xiao Yuge, that day at Shilipo, His Royal Highness and the others all saw someone using the Dragon God Technique to save you from the cliff. Then they sent you back to the roadside outside the city. Do you know who saved you”

Xiao Yu Ge blinked her big, black and white eyes in confusion, shaking her head. "I don't know who it is..."

As expected, the Emperor, hearing her words, immediately grew anxious: “He risked his life to save you from the cliff and took you away for a whole night. How could you not know who he is” His face then darkened: "Ge'er, do you know that deceiving the emperor is punishable by beheading!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's song, it seemed as if she was startled. She gritted her teeth and stood up from her chair before kneeling again: "Your Majesty, that day, County Mistress Hua took Qing Luo away while I wasn't there. Then, she sent me a letter. Unfortunately, County Mistress Hua had poisoned the paper. In my haste and panic, I unknowingly touched it. The county mistress had used silver thread poison, which prevents me from using my internal energy. I believe the National Teacher should be aware of this."

Upon hearing the term "silver thread," the national teacher's eyebrows seemed to twitch, but he still nodded in agreement with Xiao Yu Ge's words.

Xiao Yu Ge then continued, “After reaching Shilipo, Hua County mainly cut the ropes. The young woman was worried about her sister and Qing Luo, so in a moment of panic, she used her internal energy. The poison immediately attacked her heart. Fortunately, the young woman knew some medicine and sealed the acupoints on her chest, preventing an immediate death from the poison. After that, His Royal Highness and the others saw everything. I jumped off the cliff to save Qing Luo. Falling from such a height, coupled with the poison, I lost consciousness midway… when I woke up, I was already in the prince's mansion.” She didn’t mention what happened after that, as the Emperor and the others must have already found out everything.

"Are you really sure you don't recognize that person" The emperor was still uncertain, but everything Xiao Yuge said forced them to believe it.

“Your Majesty, I have grown up under your watchful eye. The friends I associate with are only a handful. You can easily verify the truth of my words by investigating. Besides, if I were acquainted with that man, how could he abandon me alone outside the city If not for my brother's timely trip out of the city to look for me, would I not have died from the poison long ago”

The Emperor and the National Master looked at each other, but they didn't hear the answer they were expecting. Disappointment was written all over their faces. However, Xiao Yuge's reply was impeccable, logical and reasonable. For now, they couldn't find any reason to doubt her.

After all, the Emperor had truly watched Xiao Yuge grow up. He knew who she could associate with, and he had already investigated them thoroughly, finding nothing. It seems that if he wanted to know about this person, he would have to find another way to do so.

Then, according to Miss Xiao, since that person doesn't know you, why would he save you" The national teacher suddenly said this.

"People in the Jianghu always value chivalry. Perhaps that person just happened to pass by, so they did a good deed out of kindness. It's like doing one good thing every day. If it were Grand Master Guoshi who encountered such a situation, you would definitely lend a helping hand, wouldn't you" Xiao Yuge thought inwardly: *I knew this old man was tough to deal with.*

"Well, of course." The Imperial Tutor was caught off guard by her question.

"But why did he take you away alone, instead of leaving you with Qingluo and giving the rest to the prince" The Emperor was thinking deeply.

Xiao Yu Ge was utterly speechless: "Your Majesty, that man took the common woman away perhaps because he thought I was more seriously injured. Or maybe he could only take one person. Like heroes of the Jianghu, they always want to do good. He might have wanted to save me, but in the end, he discovered that I was poisoned and couldn't be cured. So, helpless, he had no choice but to abandon me outside the city."

To be honest, she didn't understand what that person meant. If he was really the master of the Thunder Pavilion, her subordinate, it made sense for him to save her. But a master of a pavilion couldn't even cure a silver thread poison and left her outside the city to fend for herself. If Chu Tianqi hadn't found her, she would have died from the poison! He was truly ungrateful. He might as well have handed her over to Qian Simin and the others from the start.

Although Xiao Yu Ge's words sounded a bit outlandish, half true and half false, and coupled with her bewildered expression, both the Emperor and the Grand Tutor couldn't find any reason to doubt her.

"Actually, the common woman is also very curious about who that person is. After all, he saved both the common woman and Qing Luo's lives. He is our savior, and the grace of saving lives should be repaid like a spring. I wonder why Your Majesty is searching for this benefactor"

“My dear, I've only heard that he is a remarkable individual. So, if you know him, please introduce me. I would certainly employ him. Since you don't know him, well, then let it be.” The Emperor sighed with disappointment, knowing that further questioning would be futile. After all, Xiao Yuge still appeared as frail as before, and she had been unconscious for days. Therefore, her words might very well be true.

“If a common woman ever finds out who her benefactor is, she will definitely inform Your Majesty! This humble woman takes her leave!” Xiao Yu sang politely after bowing and was about to leave, Humph! Finding someone is finding someone, there's no need for such pretentious reasons, truly admirable!

Unexpectedly, the national teacher suddenly said: “Miss Xiao, I heard that Wangye fell ill from poison that day. I wonder if he has recovered somewhat”

Xiao Yuge slightly bowed: "Master Guoshi, you are concerned. The poison in the Prince's body has been acting up frequently these past two months, and his health has been deteriorating day by day. The other day, when the poison flared up, he was unconscious for two days before waking up. He was just drinking medicine a moment ago. It is estimated that it will take at least ten or half a month to recover to his previous state. The Emperor summoned me into the palace in a hurry today, and the Prince worried about my health and insisted on dragging his sick body to send me to the palace gate. Master Guoshi, if you want to visit the Prince, he is right now at the palace gate. You can go and see for yourself."

She scoffed inwardly: The old man still tried to catch her off guard, he didn't stand a chance!

Thousand Strikes Pavilion's Master is poisoned, and his time is short. This isn't much of a secret among those who know, to still suspect him... well, you must have your head in the clouds.

The Grandmaster coughed awkwardly a couple of times after hearing this. "There are still important matters to discuss with Your Majesty today, so I won't stay. I will definitely visit the Prince's residence in person another day and please tell the Prince that the Grandmaster sends his regards." Hearing her answer, naturally, there was no suspicion.ken off... falling all the way down to Ruyi Pavilion..."Nearby, Qian Tingxuan's eyes suddenly darkened, and the hand hanging by his side clenched tightly!Even Ming Yang, standing beside him, listened...
