However, it was obvious that these people had never been tortured.
Then how did Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan know that she was the one who sent these men in black?
Xiao Jingyu secretly suppressed the doubts in her heart.
She would deal with what was in front of her first. Before they had conclusive evidence, she would definitely not admit anything!
Lin Yuelan looked at Xiao Jingyu’s innocent expression and sneered.” Princess Linglong, it seems that you won’t cry until you see the coffin! Fine, since you don’t want to admit it, then this princess will make you admit it!”
Then, she took out a green pill from her pocket and said,” This princess has a pill that makes people tell the truth. In other words, anyone who took this pill would answer whatever others asked!”
“Impossible!” Xiao Jingyu said in surprise and disbelief. “How can there be such a pill in this world?”
Lin Yuelan sneered.” I don’t know if others have it. 1 admit that I don’t have much ability in other areas, but I have some ability in medicine. This pill was developed by me! ”
When Xiao Jingyu heard this, her heart thumped wildly. She questioned loudly,” Who knows if what you said is true or not? Also, if you arranged for these people to take pills, you can still let them say whatever they want!”
Xiao Jingyu was still struggling.
Lin Yuelan sneered and said,” Hehe, since Princess Linglong doesn’t believe in this medicine, then fine. Then I’ll give you this pill to try. How about it?”
“No!” Xiao Jingyu refused without thinking.
If this medicine really had such medicinal properties, she would not take it no matter what.
However, she immediately saw Lin Yuelan’s half-smile and was shocked. She asked,” Why are you looking at me like that?”
Lin Yuelan glanced at her coldly. Then, she stared at the pill in her hand and said indifferently,” I’ve thought of a wonderful way to find out whether these men in black are your men or not. Would you like to know how?”
“What is it?” Xiao Jingyu was shocked again.
“It’s just that this pill is too wasteful for them to eat. Because, no matter whether they were telling the truth or not, you would deny it, let alone admit that you were the mastermind. Since that’s the case, I’ll let you eat this pill. Firstly, we can test if this pill really has medicinal properties. After all, I’ve never tested this pill before. Secondly, some words and things can only be true and effective if you can say them yourself. Every word you say can be used as evidence, right?”
After hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, Xiao Jingyu’s face turned pletely pale.
She shouted guiltily,” No, I’m not your prisoner. You can’t do this! Otherwise, I will report you to His Majesty for violating my human rights!” She was so scared that she even changed the way she addressed her.
She couldn’t afford to gamble whether the pill had that kind of medicinal effect or not.
If this pill was effective and she was asked to reveal her secrets, how could she continue to survive?
Lin Yuelan seemed to know what she was worried about. She smiled and said,” Princess Linglong, you don’t have to worry. After taking this pill, I will only ask about my case and not anything else.”
Then, her expression turned cold and she said sternly,” So, you have to take this pill even if you don’t want to!”
Xiao Jingyu’s face was pale as she tried her best to resist. She said loudly,” No, I am the princess of the Black Clouds Kingdom. You have no right to order me around! Royal Brother…”
After she called out for her brother, she felt something stuffed into her throat. However, just as she wanted to spit it out, it was gone.
However, Xiao Jingyu knew very well that it was not that there was nothing left. It had melted and had already been swallowed into her stomach.
But soon, her mind became blank as if she couldn’t think.
“Xiao Jingyu!’
A cold voice suddenly sounded in the blurry space.
Suddenly, she heard someone calling her. She immediately looked very happy and replied,” Yes!”
“Xiao Jingyu, this princess will ask you a few questions. You must answer
them truthfully!”The voice continued.
When Xiao Jingyu heard this, she instinctively resisted, but she replied,” Alright!
“More than half a month ago, you asked someone to invite Lord Liu Xinren to the Green Jade Pavilion Teahouse, right?”
“Then why did you invite him?”
“We planned to pull Lin Yuelan down from her position as the princess of
Guguo and then destroy her reputation!”
“Then what’s your plan?”
“Of course, it’s best to have something on her. We had heard a lot of rumours about her in the past. We remembered someone saying that she didn’t act filial to her parents, so we thought of using this to defeat her. After that, I told Liu Xingren about the plan. Liu Xingren agreed without thinking!’
At this point, she sneered and continued,” Hehe, Liu Xinren was an idiot and carried out the plan for me.”
“Why did you approach Liu Xinren?”
“Because 1 know he hates Lin Yuelan. Lin Yuelan had caused his daughter to be demoted from one of the four imperial concubines to a Cairan, and she had also caused his granddaughter to marry far away and go through a political marriage alliance. He was filled with resentment. Therefore, he agreed to cooperate as soon as he heard the plan.”
When Liu Xinren heard this, his face was filled with anger, frustration, and shame.
He did not expect that he would be used like this!
He could only blame himself for agreeing so quickly!
“What do you plan to do after your plan fails?”
“l never thought about the plan failing. However, the heavens did not favour him, and success turned into failure! Those Lin Family villagers have seen me before. 1 can’t let them rat me out, so I sent people to the prison to silence them.”
At this point, she frowned and seemed to be puzzled.” But why didn’t the people I sent e back after their mission was pleted?!”
“Alright, this princess has finished asking!’
