Bai Yao tightly pressed her lips together, still unwilling to admit, "You’re trying to link with a stranger, there’s nothing I can do."
"The Prince is out there building a kingdom for the entire Great Chu, little did he know the old Emperor is harming his family behind his back." Bai Yao laughed wildly, her face full of ridicule.
Xiao Tianhao remained unmoved: "You should have a Gu insect in your body too, right?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, ignoring Bai Yao’s stiff expression, and called the doctor over for a consultation.
Bai Yao’s eyes showed a mont of panic, but only for an instant, she quickly cald down and allowed the imperial physicians to examine her.
A mont later.
Xiao Tianhao brought the imperial physicians to the other side, and after hearing their response, he instinctively furrowed his brows: "Really no problem?"
"Minister Xiao, I dare not lie, this woman’s body indeed has no issue, the scars on her face are old injuries, at least ten years old."
"I understand, you may leave." Xiao Tianhao didn’t expect this result, he had no way to explain it to the Emperor.
When he returned, he saw the dungeon was quiet.
Although Xiao Tianhao was unwilling, he did not show it, and gave Bai Yao a smug smile: "So, tell , where did the Gu insect in your body co from? Since you won’t admit your identity, you should at least be able to explain the origin of this Gu insect, right?"
"Otherwise, even if you talk until your lips are chapped, you can’t clear your suspicion. Although you’ve taken on Consort Yun’s identity, compared to us, Prince Huainan must be the angriest one, right?" Xiao Tianhao squinted at Bai Yao, disapproving of her act of stealing soone else’s identity.
But now the results of the interrogation are the priority, he needs to know what Bai Yao and the others have been plotting in the capital.
His subordinates investigated and found that since Bai Yao entered the palace, there have been so movents in Prince Huainan’s Mansion.
However, they haven’t been able to catch any evidence, which is sowhat regrettable.
Bai Yao felt a mont of panic because of his words, but she imdiately rembered that ordinary doctors couldn’t possibly see the abnormality in her body, suspecting Xiao Tianhao was trying to trick her.
After only a slight hesitation, she turned her head and continued with an unafraid deanor, "I don’t know what you’re talking about, Minister Xiao."
"It’s fine if you don’t know, in any case, it’s already impossible for you to get out of jail."
Bai Yao, true to being the mastermind, didn’t say anything no matter how much she was interrogated or even tortured.
Chu Heng assigned the task of interrogating Bai Yao to Xiao Tianhao.
anwhile, he followed up on several trusted people of Bai Yao’s in Prince Huainan’s Mansion, tracking information day after day.
On this particular day, he finally made so progress.
He discovered the existence of the Yuntan Flower.
However, this ti, the Yuntan Flower was already dried up, with only withered petals left, devoid of dicinal properties, as if it had been hastily abandoned, leaving traces behind.
Chu Heng was busy for seven or eight consecutive days.
Ye Muyu seldom saw him return ho and usually went to bed early.
When she woke up, Chu Heng had already left.
For so many days, they hadn’t faced each other, and Ye Muyu felt a sense of loneliness from not seeing him for so long, perhaps because she missed him. On this day, she woke up before dawn.
Instinctively, she looked up beside her bed and saw Chu Heng still sleeping soundly. Her spirits lifted instantly; she rubbed her eyes to wake herself up. Initially, she wanted to snuggle with him for a while, but she didn’t want to disturb his sleep.
After hesitating for a mont, she simply lay still in his embrace without moving.
