After rebirth, I will be the royal aunt to the scumbag

Sheng Chenghan's eyebrows visibly paused for a moment.

When his accident happened, the Xue family was still in its prime, and they were even discussing marriage to the prince. He never expected that just after he woke up, such earth-shaking changes would happen.

"People like the prince are people who cross rivers and burn bridges. You, the Xue family, don't know people well and have become the lackeys of such people. You deserve to be in this situation." He felt vaguely proud.

This can be regarded as God’s foresight.

Xue Jinruo had expected such a development and chuckled: "We deserve it, but is the third prince willing to be kept in the dark?"

Sheng Chenghan's expression paused.

"Our Xue family did support him, Sheng Chengjie, to rise to power, but we did not do anything to harm the emperor's heir, let alone ask anyone to do anything to you. All of this was done by the prince in the name of the Xue family. The third prince should know the whole story. Okay." Xue Jinruo had to put the truth in front of him before he could get to the point.

"Qingyue is indeed mine, and he also gave me the broken arrowhead, but His Majesty did not pity you for this, and did not even blame the prince. It can be seen that the blood in your body is disgusting to him."

A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of Sheng Chenghan's lips.

He was clearly the son of the emperor, but because he still had the blood of the Ming Yue Kingdom, he was inferior to others. He was destined to miss the position of crown prince.

However, he is a smart man: "What does Miss Xue want to get from me when she talks about these things from me today?"

"I want fire pearls." Xue Jinruo had no intention of hiding anything.

"The eldest prince is guarding the border and may not be able to come back in the future. The second prince is already disabled. Only the third prince can compete with the prince for the position of heir apparent. I think you are the one who needs the Xue family's help the most."

"And I just want the Fire Pearl."

Sheng Chenghan looked at her with vigilance in his eyes, and even his face turned cold.

He did have the source of the fire pearl in his hand, and he naturally knew that it was real poison: "What do you want it to do?"

"Of course I have my use, and it has nothing to do with the Third Prince." Xue Jinruo felt in his heart that it was time to lay the groundwork, "But there is one thing I really want to ask the Third Prince - the poison on the Regent. Does poison have anything to do with you?"

"Poisoned!? How could the emperor's uncle be poisoned when he has always been in good health?" At this moment, Sheng Chenghan's eyes were full of worry.

He had lost his biological mother since he was a child, and had to rely on himself to survive in the abyss of the palace. Just when he felt that he could not survive, it was Sheng Jingze, the uncle of the emperor, who reached out and gave him a hand, not only pulling him out of the abyss He was pulled out of the army and even taught him literary skills and martial arts.

To him, Sheng Jingze was more like a father.

Xue Jinruo did not answer his question, but her brief emotion convinced her that Sheng Jingze's matter had nothing to do with Sheng Chenghan.

"As long as the third prince can find me the fire pearl, I can cure the regent's body, and the sooner the better." She was not prepared to hide it from Sheng Chenghan, but she also knew that she wouldn't be able to hide it for many days even if she wanted to. of.

Although Sheng Chenghan didn't get any useful information, he could tell from it that his imperial uncle was indeed in trouble.

He nodded: "Don't worry, I will find the Fire Pearl for you as soon as possible, but before that, I want to see him."

"I'll make arrangements for you."

Xue Jinruo left the courtyard after leaving these words.

She couldn't figure out who it could be if the person who poisoned Sheng Jingze wasn't Xue Chenghan.

Just before Xue Jinruo returned to the Regent's Mansion, Sheng Jingze had already asked someone to bring Xue Xueyao here.

Xue Xueyao thought that everything she did was done perfectly and that it was impossible for anyone to discover her, so she felt confident coming to the study today.

She softened her figure and bowed Yingying: "Your Majesty..."

"I heard that you and the princess met a thief when you were traveling two days ago. How about you? Were you injured anywhere?" Sheng Jingze's voice was cold.

Xue Xueyao didn't care at all about his attitude. Instead, she felt that he was caring about her and couldn't help but smile.

She quickly felt aggrieved and did not forget to sow discord: "Thank you for having the prince in mind. At that time, Yao'er thought she would never see the prince again. Anyway, my sister was so brave that she beat the thief away with three punches and two kicks. ”

"However, Yao'er remembers that her sister hated wielding knives and guns the most when she was a child. When her parents taught her how to do it, she was very angry, and somehow she suddenly became good at it. If I can also do the same with my sister, With such bravery, the prince does not need to worry about everything."

Her words were clearly a reference to Sheng Jingze - Xue Jinruo was no longer Xue Jinruo.

However, Sheng Jingze just glanced at her lightly, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.

He couldn't explain why. It was clear that the person in front of him was his Yue'er in all likelihood, but he couldn't find the feeling he had before. He was only treating her well now because he remembered the affection he had when he was a child.

"Then what's going on with the medicines in your room?" His face became colder and colder.

Xue Xueyao's figure shook.

She thought she did it flawlessly, but no matter how vigilant Sheng Jingze was, she still fell into the trap again and again. Although there was no follow-up, it was still her own result.

She rolled her eyes and immediately felt aggrieved: "Yao'er doesn't know what kind of medicine the prince is talking about. These days, I have been listening to my sister's instructions to deliver meals to the prince. All the things in it are from my sister. It’s okay, I have never interfered, and as for what’s in my room, I don’t know anything about it.”

She opened her mouth and tried to blame everything on Xue Jinruo.

"Oh? Are you sure that everything has nothing to do with you?" Sheng Jingze looked at her with a critical eye.

Xue Xueyao saw that today's events could not be covered up, so she immediately started crying: "Yao'er dares to swear to God that everything I said today is true. If I really had the intention to harm the prince, back then... back then..."

Her right hesitation made Sheng Jingze soften his heart.

No matter whether she is now a suspect of being seduced again, it cannot erase the fact that she saved her life when she was a child.

And why do such people drug themselves again and again?

"Yao'er just wants to ask the prince, is it always my sister who said that the prince was drugged? Did the prince see the doctor later?" Xue Xueyao's sudden words made Sheng Jingze immediately sound the alarm.

Indeed, I have been led by Xue Jinruo these days.
