In less than a quarter of an hour, Xiu Luan straightened her drowsy expression and strolled in from outside Pear Blossom House. She slowly bowed to Qiao Yifan and He You You and said, "Sir, Lady."

"Did you personally cook this porridge?" He You You had an angry and handsome face as he pointed at the porridge on the ground.

Xiu Luan looked over and saw that the bowl of porridge had scattered all over the ground. She did not know what had happened and could only reply, "Reporting to the Ancestor, this bowl of porridge was personally cooked by this servant."

"Do you know that there's poison in this porridge?" He You You asked with raised eyebrows.

"Poisonous?" Xiu Luan's expression changed drastically. She suddenly knelt on the ground and whined, "This servant doesn't know. This servant doesn't know why there is poison in this porridge."

"Xiu Luan, you get up first." "When you were cooking the porridge, did anyone else come into the kitchen?"

Xiu Luan slowly stood up and started thinking.

"Miss, when Xiu Luan was cooking porridge, Xiu Luan was the only one in the kitchen." Xiu Luan honestly replied.

"Have you ever left the kitchen in the process of cooking porridge?" Qiao Qiao continued to ask with a serious face.

"Yes." Xiu Luan's expression changed, as if she had thought of something, and she immediately nodded her head, "At the beginning, I instructed the kitchen to cook porridge for the young lady, but when Xiu Luan wanted to rest, she passed by the kitchen and went in to take a look, only to see that there was no one there, no one cooking porridge, and this servant was anxious, so she cooked the porridge herself and went out to look for Wu Ding, wanting to ask her why she did not cook porridge for the young lady. But after a long time, I found no trace of Wu Ding, so I returned to the kitchen to cook porridge. With that, Xiu Luan looked towards the kneeling Yuan Er.

"That's right, that's right. My lord, my lady, it was indeed elder sister Xiu Luan who asked this servant to send the porridge to Pear Blossom Academy. This servant really does not know why there is poison in the porridge." The girl called Yuanyuan'er trembled and said anxiously.

"Forget it. The two of you can go back for now." Qiao Qiao still waved his hand and said.

"Of course, you're letting them go just like that?" He You You raised his eyebrows. His face was still full of anger.

During the two days of my coma, Xiu Luan had been taking care of me on my pillow without rest. If she really wanted to harm me, I would have long since been unconscious and would not be able to wake up. Moreover, between the two of them, one was cooking porridge while the other was serving porridge. Qiao Qiao slowly pursed his lips, continuing, "Although this girl's actions were reckless, causing my wrist to be scalded, if not for this scalding, I'm afraid that I would have been buried here today."

He Yinsan wanted to say something, but he endured it in the end. Following that, he shouted at the two people kneeling on the ground, "Today, I have listened to the Infernal Queen and have forgiven you. If the Infernal Queen ever receives any more injuries in the future, be careful of your lives!"

"Thank you, your highness. Thank you, young lady." Xiu Luan and Chong'er kowtowed together.

"Get down." He You You shouted in a deep voice.

Xiu Luan and Chong'er supported each other as they walked out of the Pear Blossom Academy.

"Your highness, your highness." A guard outside the door jogged all the way to the inside of Pear Blossom Academy. He looked nervous as he walked with a frown.

"What is it?" He You You was still angry about Qiao still being injured, so she threw out a few words in anger.

"Sire, I found the body of Chef Shoving under the willow tree in the backyard." Although the guard's voice sounded bold, he had at least fully reported this matter.

"What?" "Bulldozer actually died?!" He Ming's voice was filled with rage.

It was no wonder that Xiu Luan went to the kitchen and couldn't see the shadow of the sow, and went out to look for him, only to be taken advantage of by someone and poisoned her porridge. It was such a meticulous plan, and if it wasn't for Yuanyuan'er, who was so careless, and overturned the bowl of porridge, not only would Qiao Qiao's life still be lost, even the servants of Pear Blossom Academy would not have survived. With just a small scheme, she actually suppressed all of the people in Pear Flower Courtyard …

Qiao Qiao couldn't help but sink into deep thought for a moment. She had never been close with the people in the Demon Palace before. Who could it be that hated the people from the Pear Blossom Academy so much?

"Your excellency, the coroner's autopsy said that the shot was caused by a sudden illness." When the guard saw the Demon Lord's rage, his voice naturally lowered by three notches.

"Investigate!" He You You said furiously, "You must find out for me who the mastermind is!"

"This …" The guard couldn't help but sneer. This was a sudden illness, how was he supposed to investigate the culprit?

"If you are unable to find out, then you don't need to take your life." He You You harrumphed coldly. Looking at the guards on the ground, his eyes were full of anger.

"Yes …" Yes … Your subordinate understands. Your subordinate will go investigate right away. " The guard hurriedly kowtowed, then stood up and fled.

"Of course, it's my fault." He You You stood up and carefully checked the swelling on Qiao's wrist. The anger in his eyes was replaced by self-blame, "I didn't expect that there would be someone who would dare to lay their hands on you in the Demon Palace."

Qiao Qiao lightly pursed her lips and laughed. "In this demon palace, there is more than one person who doesn't like me."

He You You was at a loss for words for a moment, and could only stare blankly at Qiao yet again. In an instant, he laughed as if he didn't understand anything: "But what do you mean by that? Who in the Infernal Palace dares to look down on you? You are the Infernal Queen of the Infernal Palace. "

"He You You, are you still not prepared to tell me the truth?" Qiao Qiao still frowned slightly. If one were to say who in this demon palace would be so unwelcoming towards her, she would have already guessed it.

"Of course, what truth do you want to hear?" He Mingyou also frowned, while his face was full of smiles.

"Just who is in charge of this demon palace?" Joe asked, his voice still cold.

"Of course it's me." He You You thought that Qiao's words were still interesting, but still replied in a low voice.

"Who is the owner of Spirit Serpent Mountain?" Qiao Qiao continued to ask, his voice actually carrying a bit of a probing tone.

"Yes …" He You You's voice became lower and lower as he hesitated. Although he would never lie, this matter …

"It should be the master behind the Demon Palace, or rather, the master behind you." Qiao Qiao coldly snorted, "If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that he won't be able to tolerate me in the Demon Palace."

"No, he won't tolerate you. Of course, believe me, it won't be long before you know who he is." He You You said with an anxious look on his face.

"I just didn't expect that there was actually a master behind you that could control you." Qiao Qiao gave a faint smile and said slowly.

Everyone would think that he, the Demon Lord, was acting in an exceptionally comfortable and leisurely manner, even to the point of being sinister and ruthless. What everyone did not know was that even though he was the fearless and fearless High Lord of the Jianghu, he still had a master that hid himself in the mountains every October to report to Spirit Mountain about his activities. In short, he was just someone else's chess piece, what could he do with his appearance? Now, he couldn't even protect his most beloved girl.

"Of course. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." He You You bit his lip. It didn't matter who in the demon palace wanted to live, he would definitely let the person who attacked pay the debt of blood with blood, but … But not that man.

Qiao Qiao still gave a dejected chuckle. In the past, she was still too careless. From today onwards, it seemed that she would have to be more cautious.

"Whatever, I'm tired too. As for finding the murderer, I'll leave it to you to do." Qiao Qiao still waved her hand, right now she was in the Demon Palace, it seemed like she had made enemies on all four sides. First she drew her sword, and then she did not know that there was poison in the porridge, it seemed like it was very rare for her to spend three months in the Demon Palace.

"Then you …" He You You looked at the burn wound on Qiao's wrist, then raised his head to look at her beautiful face that was thousands of miles away. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course. Is that Yan Yan you spoke of the Regent?"

Qiao Qiao's heart still skipped a beat. Sure enough, he still asked about this matter.

"Yes." Qiao Qiao still nodded without showing any signs of panic.

"You … Like him? " He You You asked with a slight tremble.

"Like? When I was in the imperial court, he bullied me, used me, and even seized my power and rights. Why would I like him? " Qiao still sneered as if he had just heard a big joke.

"Then why did you... You call him that? " He You You asked in confusion.

"You think it was an affair?" Joe asked, still raising his eyebrows.

"That's good. Since you have a grudge against him in your heart, why don't I go to the Regent's Manor right now and hack him into a thousand pieces to vent the anger in your heart?" He You's charming purple eyes flashed. Although it seemed that he was still thinking about and indignant about her, if one listened carefully, they would find that He Ming You's words were just to test out Qiao Qiao's attitude.

"Hur hur." "It's fine to hack him into pieces, but it's a pity that I'm in the Demon Palace now. Although he has bullied me for a long time, he can still help me with the government affairs of the previous dynasty. He loves the country so much, and handing over the country to him seems to be more reassuring than handing over someone else."

"Good, that's good." Hearing Qiao's words, He You You's tense face showed a hint of warmth. Since he was only thinking about Yan Mo Chen, he was relieved.

"So many things have happened since I woke up. My body really can't take it anymore. Take care, I won't send you off." Qiao Qiao still lowered his brows and slightly closed his eyes, lying on the bed without moving an inch.

"Then, rest well. I'll come see you another day." As He You You spoke, he saw that Qiao was still not about to speak. He slowly paced back and forth and left with a flick of his sleeve.

After He Ming You left, Qiao Qiao's eyes that were still shut suddenly opened. A sharp glint flashed across her clear eyes. It seemed that she had to carry out her plan early. She couldn't stay in this dangerous Demon Palace for three months.
