As soon as Lu Yunsheng said this, Ji Youzhi was not pleased.
"You say you’re not in the Prince’s Mansion, yet your body was indeed found inside. If you truly are Prince Qing’s son, then whose body was found in the garden of the Prince’s Mansion?"
"How would I know?
I’ve had amnesia for so many years, and I’ve only just started to rember things from my childhood.
I don’t know about past events; now that you ask , how would I know?"
"Let’s put that aside for the mont. Let ask you, you said before you didn’t have mories from your childhood. So how did you suddenly rember you are Prince Qing’s son?"
This was the key point. Ji Youzhi has his thods when investigating cases, and he also knows how to interrogate suspects.
He ca today to question Lu Yunsheng mainly to ascertain why he attempted to assassinate the emperor.
But he didn’t address the main issue directly; instead, he started probing from the periphery.
"Why did I suddenly recall these things?"
Suddenly, Lu Yunsheng had a headache. He rubbed his temples hard, and in a flash, he saw Xiaosuisui.
Xiaosuisui gently shook the bell hanging around their neck, and the bell made a crisp sound that reached Lu Yunsheng’s ears.
He beca slightly panicked and started rambling.
"Why did I suddenly recall things from my childhood?"
He began to murmur, holding his head, bending over, and slowly squatting down, burying his head in his knees.
"A little girl told . She said I was afraid of fire, said I am of Prince Qing’s bloodline, said my father was killed by Emperor Yuanzhen’s orders and that Emperor Yuanzhen slaughtered my entire family. She told to seek revenge, to beco the emperor. All I need to do is kill Emperor Yuanzhen’s son, make him pay for his father’s debts, and then I can beco emperor and be with my beloved."
Lu Yunsheng’s words were disjointed, making it hard to understand, but who was Ji Youzhi? He was an expert in investigations, always asking purposeful questions.
"Your beloved? Who is your beloved?"
Ji Youzhi suddenly sensed that he was getting to the heart of the matter and hurriedly pursued the question.
"Who is my beloved?
Of course it’s Pan’Er!
But that person told that Pan’Er has the Phoenix Destiny and is destined to be the future empress of the Great Han. If I want to be with her, I must first kill Emperor Yuansheng. Only by killing him can I beco the emperor, and then Pan’Er can be with !"
Ji Youzhi couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.
"Who is that person? Why did they tell you these things?"
"Who is that person? I don’t know, she was just a little girl, but how does she know these things?
She’s so young, yet she knows about things from my childhood!"
At this point, Lu Yunsheng started to beco incoherent, appearing sowhat deranged.
"What’s going on?
Why do I feel that he seems a bit ntally unstable?"
Ji Youzhi quickly noticed sothing was wrong with Li Yunsheng and muttered quietly.
"Seventh Uncle can keep asking him, it’s the sound of the Soul-Calling Bell, striking deep into his soul. Right now, he can’t lie!"
"Soul-Calling Bell?
What did you do to him?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Youzhi was startled and hurriedly questioned Xiaosuisui.
Xiaosuisui giggled and said, "I didn’t do anything to him!
This is the Soul-Calling Bell’s ability,"
Xiaosuisui explained.
Ji Youzhi widened his eyes in disbelief and said, "Does the Soul-Calling Bell have such an ability?
What kind of treasure is this?"
Xiaosuisui giggled, telling him, "It’s a Divine Artifact, and I sense it has so connection with the Underworld!"
Ji Youzhi: "..."
A Divine Artifact connected to the Underworld?
He suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
"Seventh Uncle, ask him whatever you want to know. At this mont, everything he says will be the truth!"
"Oh! Okay!"
With such an assurance, Ji Youzhi confidently began to inquire.
"Are you now certain whether you are Prince Qing’s son?"
Lu Yunsheng replied, "Yes! I am certain."
Ji Youzhi asked again, "From what I know, although you have a bit of cleverness, your martial arts talent isn’t high. However, the sword strike you used to assassinate His Majesty was as powerful as mine. Why did your martial skills suddenly increase so much?"
Hearing this question, Lu Yunsheng could not help furrowing his brows, his expression becoming a bit twisted, and with confusion, he said, "I know martial arts?
Where did my martial arts co from?
Hmm...
I seem to have forgotten!"
Lu Yunsheng muttered to himself.
Seeing this, Ji Youzhi couldn’t help glancing at Xiaosuisui.
Xiaosuisui silently reached out and touched the bell on their neck.
"Dingling..." It made a few light sounds, and suddenly Lu Yunsheng’s face contorted in pain.
"My martial arts... ah... my martial arts were... were given to by her."
"Who gave them to you?"
Ji Youzhi hurriedly pursued the question.
"It was her!
That child!"
"Which child?
Are you saying that the one who suddenly enhanced your power was just a child?"
"Yes!"
Ji Youzhi was in disbelief and asked, puzzled.
"How could a child possess such power, able to let you gain imnse power overnight?"
Hearing Ji Youzhi’s muttered question, Xiaosuisui suddenly widened their eyes, blinking their large eyes like black grapes, and then was suddenly enlightened.
"I get it, it’s Niuniu!"
"Niuniu?"
At this ti, Ji Youzhi wasn’t clear about the specifics of Niuniu’s situation, so he was temporarily unable to understand!
"Yes, yes! It’s her, she’s Xunyang’s new clone, but this clone is not quite the sa as Xunyang’s previous ones. In the past, his clones were all assimilated by witch power, and only after swallowing their divine souls could he control them fully.
But Niuniu isn’t like that."
"Niuniu isn’t like that, so how did she beco Xunyang’s new clone?"
This question also occurred to Ji Youzhi: could Niuniu, like Princess Ata back then, be controlled by Gu Insects?
But thinking of Princess Ata’s situation back then, she couldn’t be fully controlled by Xunyang for long.
However, Niuniu now is continually under control.
"It’s the Gu Insects!"
Hearing Xiaosuisui decisively say these three words, Ji Youzhi could no longer remain calm.
"How do you know?
Can Gu Insects have such great power?
I rember back when Princess Ata was under the influence, Xunyang couldn’t fully control her!"
Ji Youzhi expressed his inner doubts in surprise.
Xiaosuisui explained to him, "Princess Ata couldn’t be completely controlled by Xunyang because her divine soul was strong, her will firm, and she had once dispelled all her witch power and understood the characteristics of the Gu Insects, so she could survive and not be entirely controlled."
Actually, Xiaosuisui didn’t explain the full story about Princess Ata.
Princess Ata’s greatest fortune back then was orchestrating a scenario herself to save herself with a fake assassination attempt!
