He was really afraid that Yan Li would say he wanted to force a confession out of him again.
The person who harmed her is so obvious, why can't she realize it?
Could this be the bond of blood ties?
The judge was taken aback when Wen Hao, who was waiting for his verdict, suddenly spoke up to stop him, causing cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
This man is a close advisor to the emperor and the tutor of the crown prince. If I do something wrong and offend him, I'm afraid I'll have to retire and return to my hometown this afternoon.
"Reporting to Lord Wen, this is just a normal interrogation method; otherwise, these prisoners wouldn't confess so easily." As he spoke, he quickly raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, waved his hand, and signaled his men not to act yet.
Wen Hao frowned slightly.
Yan Li, however, seemed unsurprised, as if she were already used to such tactics. Looking at Wen Hao, who was still in a daze, she asked, "Are you so surprised because you really didn't know?"
The use of torture is all too common.
Today, Wen Hao brought her to see Yan Menghuai. She had thought that Wen Hao would poison her with a cup of poisoned wine, but she did not expect it to be such a formal scene.
This was something she really hadn't expected.
Wen Hao's fingertips trembled, and he drew a line on Yan Li's palm before releasing it. Little did he know that he would be seen that way in Yan Li's mind. Unaware of this, he glanced up at Yan Menghuai, who was still gloating.
"That day in the bridal chamber, you were the only unexpected event. You said you didn't poison anyone, so how do you explain the arsenic?"
Wen Hao had examined the body before, so he knew clearly what kind of poison Yan Li had died from.
This is also why he concluded that Yan Menghuai was the murderer after discovering this past incident.
Yan Menghuai was stunned. Looking at Wen Hao sitting to the side, the scene from that day came to mind once again.
On their wedding night, being in a room with their beloved should have been an extremely happy occasion, but the bride wasn't her, and the groom didn't love her.
She was the one who was superfluous.
Jealousy burned within her, and she could only hide under the bed, quietly listening to the two's sweet words and the jarring sound of the wine sloshing into the cups.
Despite his crushing defeat, Yan Menghuai still clung to a sliver of hope.
She fantasized that after the two fell asleep, she might take the opportunity to stay in their bed, even Yan Li's bed would be fine, as long as she could be by Wen Hao's side, she could lower her status to the lowest level.
She thought about it for a long time and did a lot of mental preparation, thinking that her shameless appearance would surely be ridiculed by the world.
But she didn't care.
Having won the heart of her beloved, she didn't care what others thought of her.
Unexpectedly, she, who was hoping to find another opportunity after everything was over, saw Yan Li vomiting blood and collapsing into Wen Hao's arms.
On his deathbed, Yan Menghuai thought that Yan Li had seen him.
Under the red candlelight, she continuously coughed up black blood and groaned in pain.
Wen Hao remained extremely calm, simply holding her tightly and wiping away the blood from the corner of her mouth again and again until she slowly breathed her last.
He actually killed Yan Li?!
