"Just kill me! I won't tell you anything!"
"It's futile for you to lock me up!"
Wu Ya roared loudly, her usual gentleness and tenderness completely gone.
The jailer guarding her said bluntly, "Why are you yelling? I advise you to save your energy!"
As he was speaking, he heard noisy footsteps coming from a distance, getting closer and closer.
"Your Majesty, your Highnesses, greet you!" the jailer saluted suddenly.
Then, a deep male voice came: "You guys go down first."
It turned out that Emperor Mingxi and the Crown Prince had arrived.
Wu Ya looked up and saw Emperor Mingxi holding Xia Miaoyuan in his arms, with the crown prince and the second prince standing beside him.
"Heh..." Wu Ya sneered and lowered her head again.
"Tell me! What is your real identity?" asked the prince.
Wuya didn't react.
The Second Prince added, "If you know what's best for you, confess quickly to avoid physical pain!"
Wu Ya glanced at the Second Prince and said calmly, "Kill me if you want, cut me up if you want. Don't talk nonsense. I won't say anything."
Xia Miaoyuan put his arm around Emperor Mingxi's neck and pouted, "This spy has a pretty tough mouth!"
[Does she think she has concealed her identity very well?]
[Do you think that if you don't say anything, we can do nothing? ]
Emperor Mingxi listened to his daughter's inner voice, his eyes turned, and he said in a deep voice: "Chunyu Yilan! Do you think that as long as you don't say it, I won't be able to find you?"
As soon as the four words "Chun Yu Yilan" came out, Wu Ya shuddered all over, as if she had received a huge shock.
She suddenly looked up and looked at Emperor Mingxi in astonishment: "How did you know?!"
[Oh my god, Daddy is so awesome! He's actually figured out Wu Ya's true identity!] Xia Miaoyuan was also very surprised.
Emperor Mingxi smiled and looked at Wuya with a piercing gaze, "Miss Chunyu, the trap you set up is amazing!"
"Daiyue first sent you to disguise yourself as a woman from Northern Frontier and deliberately meet the Second Brother on the battlefield."
"Then you poison him and seduce him."
Chunyu Yilan turned her head away, trying her best not to let her opponent see her reaction clearly.
"How did you find out that I'm not Wuya?" Chunyu Yilan asked calmly.
"Second Prince!" She suddenly looked up and called out, as if she had thought of something.
"Have you been lying to me all along? Did you tell the Xiaolin people in the Northern Frontier that I was the daughter of the high priest of the Dawa tribe, and then the Xiaolin people exposed my fake identity?"
"Well, Second Prince, you are so cunning that you have been acting with me for such a long time." Chunyu laughed at himself.
"No." The second prince said.
"I did fall for your trap at first and believed your lies. It wasn't until a while ago, when I drew your portrait, that my grandfather recognized that you weren't the high priest's daughter. Only then did we realize you were a spy."
Chunyu Yilan glared at the Second Prince: "Then how do you know my true identity?"
Emperor Mingxi laughed heartily and said, "You have delicate features and eyebrows, and you look like someone from Dayue."
"Besides, only in Daiyue are there people who are good at using Gu."
"As for your attack on the Second Prince, it can be basically concluded that the mastermind behind this was most likely the Dai Viet court."
"And the person with the highest level of Gu Shu in Dai Viet is the Dai Viet Miko."
"However, the Daigoshi holds a very high status and is unlikely to personally carry out such a seduction mission. Therefore, the most likely person to carry out the mission is the shrine maiden's apprentice."
As Emperor Mingxi spoke, Chunyu Yilan's expression became more and more ugly. It was obvious that Emperor Mingxi's speculations were all correct.
"Immediately afterwards, I had someone investigate the witch's disciples. I discovered that among her female disciples, there was one named Chunyu Yilan, who was the most similar to you."
Upon hearing this, Chunyu's face turned pale.
"Heh..." She laughed at herself, "I still underestimated you."
At this time, the Second Prince said: "Father, since she wants to be loyal to her master of Daiyue and won't say anything, and we already know her identity, then let's kill her. There's no need to keep her alive."
Before Emperor Mingxi could speak, the Crown Prince said, "Second Brother, she poisoned you with a heart-eating poison. It's so vicious, we can't let her get away with it."
"Why not give her a taste of her own medicine and let her have a taste of this Heart-Eating Gu?"
The second prince agreed, "Big brother, your idea is good!" As he spoke, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, which was the one that contained the poisonous insect.
"You...you took out the poisonous insect and put it in this bottle?" Chunyu Yilan was shocked when she saw the small porcelain bottle in the second prince's hand.
The Second Prince opened the lid of the small porcelain bottle and waved it in front of Chunyu Yilan: "See clearly? This is the one you planted in me."
"As for the usage and characteristics of this Heart-Eating Gu, Xiao Wang has already figured it out."
"Little Wang will first pick your tendons and veins, and then plant this Heart-Eating Gu into you. No matter how much you know how to use Gu, you won't be able to remove it."
"When the time comes, I'll lock you up in this dark cell, and you'll slowly taste the bitterness of the Heart-Eating Gu!"
Chunyu Yilan gasped and shook her head hurriedly: "No, no! Please! Second Prince, don't!"
"Second Prince, for the sake of our past relationship, please don't do that!"
At this moment, Chunyu Yilan's eyes were filled with fear, much greater than the fear she felt when she was caught at the palace banquet.
Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help but sigh, "It seems the pain of this heart-eating poison is a million times more terrifying than death! Even the witch's apprentice is so frightened."
Seeing that the Second Prince remained silent, Chunyu Yilan cast her gaze on Emperor Mingxi: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I will tell you everything! I know a lot! I will tell you everything!"
Emperor Mingxi waved his hand at her and said calmly, "Then show some sincerity."
After hearing what Emperor Mingxi said, Chunyu Yilan's panicked expression improved a little.
She quickly spoke, "This plan was thought up by Lord Han Lie."
"Dayue was very uneasy when it saw Daxia growing stronger. Especially since it had unified Northern Xinjiang, which was willing to become a vassal state of Daxia."
"Daiyue feared that Daxia would surpass it in power. Therefore, the imperial court sought to weaken Daxia."
“So, Lord Han came up with this idea.”
Emperor Mingxi asked, "If everything goes well for you today, what will happen at the palace banquet?"
Chunyu Yilan said, "If the poisonous insect is still in the Second Prince's body, as long as I chant the spell to activate the poisonous insect and successfully insert the needle into the Second Prince's acupuncture point, the Second Prince will immediately go crazy."
"It's like a drunk going crazy, out of control of his mind."
"When that happens, I will take advantage of the opportunity to control the Second Prince's mind."
Hearing this, everyone felt a chill down their spine.
Emperor Mingxi asked, "What then?"
