"How dare you laugh! The Imperial Concubine treated you like a sister, yet you poisoned her!"

Long Yao glared at Chu Qingxuan, but Chu Qingxuan's gaze remained fixed on Dongfang Hao. She looked into Dongfang Hao's eyes and said stubbornly, "Don't pin the blame on me."

Long Yao chuckled, slammed his hand on the table, his eyes bloodshot, and roared at Chu Qingxuan, "Chu Qingxuan, is that right? Look me in the eye and say it!"

Chu Qingxuan slowly looked at Long Yao and said, word by word, "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a reason. I will never admit to something I did not do."

Dongfang Hao looked at Chu Qingxuan on the ground, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes. He said, "Your Highness, we haven't found any evidence yet."

Dongfang Hao was speaking up for Chu Qingxuan, and Chu Qingxuan could tell, but she didn't respond.

"General Dongfang, are you planning a rebellion? Who else could it be but her? Before Yue Jinyun was assassinated, we only saw her. After she left the mansion, we went in and found Yue Jinyun lying in a pool of blood. Who else could it be but her?"

Dongfang Hao remained expressionless, but he still said, "Without crucial evidence, let's wait until Consort Yue wakes up before drawing any conclusions."

Long Yao sneered, "General Dongfang, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I order you right now to throw Chu Qingxuan into the Heavenly Prison!"

Dongfang Hao frowned, "Your Highness..."

Dongfang Hao wanted to speak up for Chu Qingxuan, but Chu Qingxuan interrupted him. She looked at Long Yao and said calmly, "I'll go to the Heavenly Prison, but Long Yao, even someone as smart as you can make foolish mistakes."

Chu Qingxuan couldn't help but confront Long Yao, asking how he became the only choice for emperor.

That's just plain stupid.

She continued, "Since I assassinated the imperial concubine, why is there no blood on me? I was wearing this outfit when I left."

Long Yao suddenly walked towards Chu Qingxuan, took her hand, placed her arm in front of her eyes, and asked, "What is this?"

Chu Qingxuan looked at the bloodstains on her arm in surprise; it was indeed blocked.

"Now you have nothing to say, right?"

Chu Qingxuan: "No."

"Dongfang Hao, what are you waiting for? Throw him into the Heavenly Prison!"

Chu Qingxuan obediently followed Dongfang Hao, her expression serious, while Dongfang Hao remained silent.

After being imprisoned in the dungeon, Dongfang Hao said to the people next to him, "I have something to ask her. You can all leave now."

"yes!"

Chu Qingxuan looked at Dongfang Hao, waiting for him to ask a question.

She was curious to hear what Dongfang Hao wanted to ask her.

"I will take you out of here."

Chu Qingxuan chuckled softly and asked Dongfang Hao, "May I ask, General, what method do you plan to use to get me out of here?"

Dongfang Hao said, "I believe you."

Chu Qingxuan raised her hand and said, "Look, I almost believed I was going to assassinate Yue Jinyun."

Dongfang Hao glanced at the bloodstains. "I'll have someone bring you food every day. Don't touch any food given to you by the jailers."

Chu Qingxuan said, "No need."

With her back to Dongfang Hao, Chu Qingxuan continued, "I was once a member of the royal family, so I understand what happened."

Chu Qingxuan thought of the man in the carriage, and connecting it with what he had said, she realized that all of this was connected.

If what the man wanted him to do was assassinate Yue Jinyun, then some things can be explained.
