They suddenly cald down: "If you truly had this dicine, you would have used it long ago, not waited so long."
"We were just trying to give you a chance; now that you refuse, don’t bla us for being ruthless." Xiao Tianhao, seeing the woman’s calm and disdainful deanor, instead noticed sothing peculiar.
It seems this person has a high status.
At that mont, Xiao Tianhao began feeling the woman looked familiar, suddenly realizing sothing, his pupils widened: "I rember now, I’ve seen her at Prince Huainan’s Mansion!"
"Prince Huainan...?" A bold idea suddenly popped into Chu Heng’s mind, his brow furrowing deeply.
"Restrain her, she’s trying to bite her tongue to commit suicide." Chu Heng suddenly shouted sternly.
Xiao Tianhao quickly reached out to grab the woman’s chin, only to see blood flow from the corner of her mouth, as she looked at Chu Heng with eyes full of resentnt.
Suddenly there was trouble in the prison, Xiao Tianhao hurriedly called for a doctor to co and treat the woman.
Walking out of the cell, Xiao Tianhao frowned and said to Chu Heng, "Lord Chu, how is this matter related to Prince Huainan?"
"Fortunately, we acted in ti, and the woman is still alive."
"You previously said this person belonged to Prince Huainan’s Mansion?" Chu Heng revisited the topic, asking.
Xiao Tianhao nodded, recalling as well: "At that ti, when I was investigating Prince Huainan’s Mansion, I had learned about the won in Prince Huainan’s Backyard. Aside from one Principal Wife, Prince Huainan also had two Consorts, three concubines under them, and then so naless maidservants who ward the bed."
"The woman just now, I feel familiar because she looks a bit like the chief maidservant beside Consort Yun of Prince Huainan."
"This Consort Yun ca from the common folk because Prince Huainan himself has always been plain and low-key, dislikes opulence, and is reputed for benevolence in the army, holding significant prestige among the soldiers under his command, much like General Shen, both being good generals of our Great Chu."
Speaking of this, Xiao Tianhao glanced at Chu Heng, seeing him still expressionless, couldn’t help but click his tongue twice in his mind. Talking about such delicate matters, if Lord Chu ever lost the Emperor’s trust, just these secrets would be enough to place him in a doubtful position.
Yet, Chu Heng wasn’t at all flustered, as if he heard sothing very ordinary.
He couldn’t help but think, no wonder the Emperor trusts Chu Heng, willing to reveal his greatest vulnerabilities, allowing the Emperor to use him confidently.
Xiao Tianhao dismissed those wild thoughts from his mind, cleared his throat, and said: "Speaking of which, this Consort Yun’s background is common. She was taken into the Imperial Harem by Prince Huainan after being rescued during military expeditions."
"This Consort has always stayed in Prince Huainan’s Mansion and did not follow to the Northern Region."
"At the sa ti, both Prince Huainan’s Heir and the princess remain in the capital, while only the Princess Consort of Prince Huainan went to the Northern Region."
"Lord Chu, I have already sent soone to relay this ssage to the palace. Next, to interrogate the Consort of Prince Huainan, we still need the Emperor’s decree."
"Now, shall we go and check on the Sacred Girl of Southern Border?" Xiao Tianhao sought his opinion.
Chu Heng nodded slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes, did not refuse, and the two passed through ten cells, personally brought the Sacred Girl of Southern Border out for interrogation.
The Sacred Girl of Southern Border, clad in prison garb, was escorted by bailiffs to the interrogation room. Seeing the various instrunts of torture in the room, a pallor flashed across her face.
Xiao Tianhao had seen the Sacred Girl of Southern Border a few tis, always wearing a veiled hat.
