Shen Zhongbai no longer believed in himself because he had always felt that he knew information about the informants in the palace, but he had never been willing to disclose it. Perhaps from that time on, he no longer regarded himself as a friend. , he had promised himself before, saying that he would never do anything to Chu Tiankuo, but I am afraid it has long been regarded as a joke in his heart.
Shen Zhongbai slept late on weekdays, so until this time, the lights in the study were still on. Shen Qiangwei was also very sensible these days and never disturbed him. Many things in the harem seemed to have gone smoothly. , except for Chu Junyou, everything was within Shen Zhongbai's plan, but just one Chu Junyou was enough to disrupt all his subsequent plans.
Shen Zhongbai didn't know when he started to put his thoughts on Chu Junyou. There were indeed many ways that Chu Junyou could help him, so he would never want to do it unless he had to. He and Chu Junyou parted ways and broke up, so he deliberately used A Li's matter to divert his attention, just to prevent him from knowing that his brother's matter was related to him, but he didn't expect that, This matter still hit him hard.
It wouldn't matter if someone else was seen by Chu Junyou, but the person whose face was seen that day was Liu Quan, who had been by his side.
Shen Zhongbai also knew that it would not work to avoid him all the time, but he couldn't think of any better way for a while. After Liu Quan returned home, he died not long after. It can be regarded as a death without evidence, but Shen Zhongbai always didn't Maybe he would put all the blame on him. After all, Liu Quan was the one who always stayed by his side to help him. How could Chu Junyou believe that there was any grudge between Liu Quan and Chu Tiankuo?
Shen Zhongbai put down the ink pen in his hand and pressed his eyebrows. These things really made him feel a little overwhelmed. Since he didn't know what to do, he gave up on these things first. In any case, Chu Tiankuo still had a chance. If he could survive, he would probably be a useless person. Even if Gu Huai'an was really capable and had extraordinary abilities, it was unlikely that he could save a person from the brink of death.
In any case, this can be regarded as clearing up a major worry for himself. Shen Zhongbai can be a little more relaxed in his age, but there must be some worries. Previously, the relationship between brothers Chu Junyou and Chu Tiankuo has almost recovered, and now If he attacks Chu Tiankuo, will Chu Junyou really have no complaints against him
Of course Shen Zhongbai would not believe it, which meant that his enemy had changed from Chu Tiankuo to Chu Junyou. This was also a big challenge for him. Shen Zhongbai was not willing to harm Chu Junyou's life for the time being. But it doesn't mean that he will still treat Chu Junyou as a friend.
"Have you found out the current situation?" Shen Zhongbai suddenly found a new person to help him with things. In fact, he was a little uncomfortable with it, but fortunately, he never left waste behind.
"Master, in the past two days, they have sealed the inn inside and out. No one can get in. We have tried our best, but we can't get any information."
Shen Zhongbai has not received any news about Chu Tiankuo until now, and he does not know whether Chu Tiankuo is dead or alive. Although this big obstacle to him has been removed anyway, before he gets the exact news, He still couldn't rest assured, but that day when Chu Junyou hurriedly came to the palace to find him, the situation at that time was actually enough to prove that the person who had the accident was indeed Chu Tiankuo. However, if he could get definite evidence, Shen Zhongbai also You will feel more at ease.
Chu Junyou stood on the eaves. The distance was too far. He couldn't hear clearly what the people in the room were saying. However, he still wanted to wait until the people in the room fell asleep before sneaking in secretly. , Chu Junyou is not a person without any emotions like Shen Zhongbai. Even in this situation, Chu Junyou still does not want to meet Shen Zhongbai.
If this matter can be completed quietly, Chu Junyou certainly doesn't want to cause more trouble.
"Keep staring over there. If there is any news, remember to come back and reply to me in time." Shen Zhongbai truly believed that if Gu Huai'an really tried his best, it would actually be possible for Chu Tiankuo to survive. But this does not mean that he can live the same life as before, so what he needs now is to understand what their current situation is.
Shen Zhongbai also felt a little tired. After letting his men leave, he also entered the back room to rest.
Chu Junyou didn't know what the situation was like inside the house, so he waited for the lights in the back room to be washed for a long time before he saw the man sneaking in.
There is a secret compartment in Shen Zhongbai's study, and there are indeed many strange things in it. With so many things, he has eliminated many people who have hindered him over the years. There are poisonous insects in there that can control people. There are also a lot of poisons that can seal the throat when exposed to blood. Chu Junyou also knows how dangerous these things are, but he doesn't dare to light the fire, so he can only use the weak light outside to take a closer look. Which bottle is there? It's what you need.
Chu Junyou knew that Gu Suliang's younger brother had been sick for so many years and could not even live a normal life because of the poison. Chu Junyou knew what kind of person his brother was. If he was really left like that, he might really go crazy, so he took the risk and thought of stealing the antidote here.
Generally, very rare poisons have special methods to identify them. For example, there are many poisons prepared by hand, and the characteristics of their antidotes are almost the same. Chu Junyou has not read any medical books on weekdays, but now he can This is the only way to identify the antidote.
Chu Junyou vaguely remembered that the poisonous arrows pulled out of the wound on Chu Tiankuo's body had the smell of rotten animal offal, especially poultry. Chu Junyou didn't know how many bottles he put back and forth. , only to find one that tastes similar.
Chu Junyou wasn't sure whether what he was looking for was the right one, so he didn't dare to act rashly. After putting all the bottles back to their original positions, he left carefully. If the photo was wrong, he still had a chance. I would go back to this place and look for it again, but I still hope that I can find it correctly once I am sad.
Chu Junyou returned to the place where Chu Tiankuo lived out of breath. Gu Huai'an happened to be there now. He must be able to tell whether the bottle of medicine in his hand was the same poison as Chu Tiankuo's body. Antidote, Gu Huaian heard footsteps behind him and was already very alert, but he didn't expect that Chu Junyou suddenly took out a small bottle of medicine from his arms.
Gu Huai'an took it with hesitation, and Chu Junyou finally breathed, "Can you help me see if this is the antidote?"
Of course, Gu Huaian couldn't believe that Chu Junyou had gotten the antidote after being out for such a short period of time. However, he was always difficult to figure out, so Gu Huaian still took the medicine bottle and smelled it carefully. , and also took out the spicy arrow he had pulled out before from the handkerchief on his body.
"They should be inseparable, but for safety reasons, you can take care of it here for me first. I will go back and study it to see if it is the antidote."
Gu Huaian really didn't expect that Chu Junyou could get the antidote so easily. He was afraid that there was something he had missed, so he checked it carefully several times and confirmed that there was no problem. Then he felt relieved and used the medicine on Chu Tiankuo.
Chu Tiankuo's body is very weak now, but in this small inn, there is really no way to save the two brothers for too long. Shen Qianshan didn't want to at first, but he had no other choice but to get there as soon as possible. Arrange people to send the two of them away as soon as possible before Shen Zhongbai is aware of the situation here.
Shen Zhongbai is also an emperor after all. If he didn't have such a little bit of vigilance, I'm afraid his head would no longer be around his neck. In fact, when they came together the next morning, he had already felt that someone had entered last night. If he passed his room, that meant that Chu Tiankuo was indeed still alive. Otherwise, Chu Junyou would not have taken the risk to get the antidote.
Shen Zhongbai couldn't let the two of them leave like this. After getting the news that Shen Qianshan was going to arrange for people to leave the city, he quickly sent people to intercept them. On the small road just leaving the city, people on both sides happened to bump into each other. together.
"It seems that I still underestimated you."
Chu Junyou originally thought that what he did that day was flawless, but he didn't expect that he would be discovered. Also, Shen Zhongbai probably only kept the bottle of antidote, and it was taken away by him. As long as he went to see Take a quick look and you'll definitely find it.
"Master Chu, this is also the emperor's will, and there is nothing my subordinates can do."
This leader was indeed a person whom Chu Junyou had no friendship with, but he could be regarded as an acquaintance. After meeting him and killing him personally, the man still felt a little guilty.
"Shen Zhongbai's biggest weakness is probably his arrogance. Does he really believe that just a few of you can kill us?" Chu Junyou looked around and saw that except for them, there was really no one else around. How confident was Shen Zhongbai that he actually felt that he would fall into the hands of a few of them.
