Second marriage to the regent

Su Junxi lowered her head and took a breath, and said, "The prince said that since he gave the antidote to the Marquis, the Marquis should know what to do in the future."

Tang Zhili understood that Li Junyi wanted to follow him.

He originally wanted to attach himself to Li Kunyi, because only he could legitimately inherit the throne, and then he would be able to get rid of the shackles of others.

But if he didn't accept the olive branch offered by Li Junyi, his life would be lost at any time. After repeated hesitation, he swallowed the medicine.

Mrs. Ye brought a bowl of water to Tang Zhili and said gently: "Here, have a drink of water."

After finishing the drink, the old lady began to speak.

"Inspect the mansion thoroughly, don't let go of any clues, find out the person who poisoned the Marquis, and bring him to justice!"

The majesty of the old lady was unquestionable, and everyone present remained silent.

But his eyes fell on Su Junxi and said: "As the mistress, you should take the lead and investigate this matter clearly!"

Su Junxi felt tired. Is she the only one who can support this huge family?
"Grandma is right, but according to the imperial doctor, the poison in Mr. Hou was food poisoning, and it lasted for more than a month. This kind of situation has never happened in the house before."

As soon as Su Junxi finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Li Wanwan.

Indeed, it had been just over a month since she entered the house, which was close to the time of Tang Zhili's poisoning, so he had to suspect that she was the one who poisoned him.

After hearing this, Li Wanwan was in disbelief and retorted: "Everyone in the house knows that the Marquis loves me, and my wife has stayed alone in the empty house for many years. Could it be that she wants to take this opportunity to drive me out of the house?"

As soon as her words came out, everyone thought that Su Junxi was petty and wanted to get rid of those who competed with her for favor.

At this time, Li Wanwan's maid Lan Xiang said: "The poisoning of the Marquis is a big deal. Why don't you see Aunt Bai? Could it be that you have done something wrong and hid?"

Everyone whispered that Bai Shi disappeared at the right time. If the Marquis fell ill and even lost his life, then the person who would inherit the Hou Mansion would be Bai Shi's son. Naturally, she would not be able to escape this suspicion.

"Aunt Bai has gone to take care of Brother Jun'er. Besides, everyone knows that Aunt Bai has only returned home in the past two days." Yingshi suddenly stood up and defended Bai.

Lan Xiang continued: "Since Aunt Bai is not suspicious, the most suspicious person is Madam."

"presumptuous!"

With a snap, Yan'er's slap fell on Lan Xiang's face.

The burning pain made Lan Xiang cry on the spot.

"Okay!" the old lady was furious. These women were chattering so loudly that it gave her a headache.

The house suddenly fell silent.

Tang Zhili then said: "I will investigate this matter. Please step aside."

The crowd dispersed.

"You stay." Tang Zhili called to Su Junxi.

He left Su Junxi alone. A trace of murderous intent flashed in Li Wanwan's eyes. Su Junxi, who had become more sensitive recently, had already noticed this.

"Does the Marquis have any other orders?" Su Junxi was a little impatient even when talking to him.

But Tang Zhili didn't notice. He stood up and walked towards her: "Are you going to meet the prince?"

Although her identity is different from others, it is not easy to get things from Li Junyi.

She asked for the medicine less than an hour after she arrived, which inevitably made Tang Zhili suspicious.

"I have said everything that needs to be said. Whether you believe it or not is up to the Marquis."

After saying that, she left Tang Zhili alone and left the house.

Tang Zhili looked at her leaving figure with a dazed look in his eyes.

When did she become so strange?
late at night
It was quiet outside.

A figure stood in front of the window.

Su Junxi thought it was the woman here again, so she opened the window and saw that it was Li Junyi.

At this moment, he was making a move to push the window open.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds and then looked away.After Li Junyi entered the house, Su Junxi asked, "Why did the prince come to visit in the middle of the night?"

Why does this dignified regent have a habit of climbing into windows in the middle of the night?
"Forgot the promise you made to me during the day?" Li Junyi walked straight to the bed and sat down, patting the side gently to signal her to come over.

Su Junxi was angered by him, but it was just an antidote. It was disgusting to ask her to do such a ridiculous thing.

"Your Majesty, respect yourself." Su Junxi said with anger in her tone.

"Ha." Li Junyi sneered: "What? You don't want to serve me?"

Su Junxi, who was teased by Li Junyi like this, lost her good tone and drove him away: "Your Majesty, if you have nothing else to do, please come back!"

Just as Li Junyi was about to continue teasing her, he heard rustling sounds outside the door.

Su Junxi also noticed.

The two quickly came to the window to check, and saw that the black snake that had appeared in the dense forest that day suddenly appeared in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion.

There was a masked man in black standing on the snake's head, and Su Junxi immediately thought of what the woman told her.

Did this person come to pick her up and leave after knowing that Li Wanwan's affair was exposed?

Li Junyi suddenly threw a dart at Lan Xiang who was going to Li Wanwan's house to deliver something.

The dart stabbed Lan Xiang's arm, and the soup in her hand made a sound when it fell to the ground, alarming the big snake.

The big snake inadvertently swung its tail to the rockery aside, making a loud noise.

When the patrolmen of the Hou Mansion heard the noise, they walked towards Li Wanwan's courtyard.

Li Wanwan hurriedly flew out of the house to join the man in black, and Tang Zhili came just in time to see this scene.

"It turns out it's really you!" Tang Zhili couldn't believe at this moment that the person next to him would harm him.

Li Wanwan glared at him angrily: "If it weren't for the master's order, you would have died long ago!"

After hearing this, Tang Zhili was furious and ordered: "Catch her!"

But how could their speed be compared to the speed of the big snake? In just a moment, the two of them and the snake disappeared into the Hou Mansion.

Li Junyi was about to leave after seeing the people in the Hou Mansion dispersed, and Su Junxi held his arm.

He turned back: "What? Are you willing now?"

Su Junxi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Take me with you."

Su Junxi knew that Li Junyi was going to chase Li Wanwan.

Li Junyi didn't want to be a burden, but Su Junxi refused to let go. In desperation, he compromised, grabbed her waist and flew out of the Hou Mansion.

Li Yi was very confused when he saw his master coming out, taking Su Junxi with him. Why did he bring an oil bottle with him?

The three of them followed them all the way, and Li Wanwan and two others also spotted them, and they stopped in a bamboo forest.

Li Wanwan smiled and said, "Well, Su Junxi, I thought you were sincerely in love with Tang Zhili, but I didn't expect that you would have a late-night tryst with the regent."

The masked man didn't want to waste any more words, so he took out his flute and started playing.

The big snake heard the sound of the flute and immediately attacked them.

Li Junyi faced off against the big snake alone, while Li Yi fought with Li Wanwan.

However, Li Junyi was obviously having a hard time alone, so Su Junxi took out her flute. She thought that since she was from the same school, her flute sound might be useful to the big snake.

After blowing a few times, not only the big snake, but also Li Wanwan and the man in black were dumbfounded.

A large flower python appeared behind Su Junxi.

Su Junxi looked at the black shadow on the ground, suppressed the fear in her heart, and continued to play the flute.

The large flowered python passed by her and approached the big snake.

The two snakes were fighting endlessly. Seeing this, Li Wanwan attacked Su Junxi, but was kicked away by Li Junyi. (End of chapter)
