Cui Mixue handed her the rope, and with a dazed look on her face, she grabbed her shoulders and asked, "Shouldn't you be at the Crown Prince's Mansion? Why are you here? Where is Zhen Xuanling?"
The fake Xuan Ling, who had just taken a breath, was also a little frightened. She was now guilty, so she confessed honestly.
The fake Xuan Ling recalled that day. She had already escaped, but was still caught by them and brought here. On the night of Concubine Hui's death, when they were in disarray, they took advantage of the opportunity and accidentally found the real Xuan Ling in the secret room, and took her away directly.
So they only discovered it now. Cui Mixue clenched her fists and was very angry. She was so careless that she was taken advantage of by someone, and it was Su Mengyan.
She ignored the fake Xuan Ling. She now finally understood why they could get help from the King of Medicine so easily.
She sent someone to imprison the fake Xuan Ling. She felt very upset and had a rage in her heart that she wanted to vent. She was the one who was reborn, so why was she frustrated everywhere? This was not what she wanted.
What exactly went wrong? Cui Mixue was furious. She pushed things on the table and smashed the vase to vent her dissatisfaction. The servants were trembling with fear. They didn't know why their master was angry, and they didn't dare to step forward for fear of being used as a tool for the master to vent his anger.
She is a reborn person. She doesn't believe that she will always be so depressed. This will not be her life. Her ambition does not allow her to stop here, so they just wait and see.
All this is because of that woman Su Mengyan. I will take them back one by one, Cui Mixue silently argued in her heart.
In the prince's residence.
"Why hasn't she woken up yet?" Su Mengyan anxiously asked the doctor, who was still at a loss. Looking at Xuan Ling, who was still in bed, his expression was very bad. The doctor told her, "To answer your question, Princess Consort, there are too many drugs in this girl's body that can cause mental confusion. It's normal that she hasn't reacted yet. As long as she takes the medicine I prescribed on time, she should be back to normal soon."
The doctor also prescribed some nourishing medicine for them. Su Mengyan ordered her personal maid to get the medicine quickly and then let the doctor leave.
Su Mengyan also arranged some maids to serve Xuan Ling in the room. They could not be neglected for a moment. Xuan Ling was very important to them, so there must be no mistakes. After making some arrangements, she went to see Situ Yao.
"Is the prince still there?" Su Mengyan tidied her clothes and asked the housekeeper beside her.
"To answer the Crown Princess, yes." The housekeeper hurriedly bowed and responded. Su Mengyan nodded and was about to leave, but was stopped by the housekeeper: "Crown Princess, the Crown Prince has instructed that the dungeon is too gloomy. You should wait for him up there."
Su Mengyan paused, nodded in a good mood, turned around and went back to the study. In the dungeon, Situ Yao sat on a stool. The Miao people in front of him still refused to say anything and said they knew nothing.
"You really don't want to tell me? This prince is still discussing with you in a nice tone. Don't challenge my patience." Situ Yao's cold eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and the corners of his cold mouth couldn't help but rise.
The Miao people were tied to a pillar, with an indifferent expression and head lowered, pretending not to hear anything, and still not saying a word. This situation had lasted for a full half hour, and Situ Yao was still in a rare good temper.
When he heard that the housekeeper Su Mengyan wanted to come in, he could no longer hold back and just wanted to end the battle quickly. He signaled the housekeeper with his eyes to start the torture. The Prince's Mansion was able to build this dungeon, so the torture instruments inside were naturally not simple things, and ordinary people could hardly endure it.
Situ Yao straightened the corner of his clothes, stood up and turned away, not wanting to watch such a scene. The painful roars of the Miao people rang in his ears.
After just a short while, the Miao people could no longer bear it.
"Wouldn't it have been better to compromise earlier? Why did you have to endure so much physical pain?" Situ Yao slowly approached the Miao man. His skin was already bloody and it was no longer acceptable to look at.
The Miaojiang man took his last breath, his breath weak. "I said, it was indeed Concubine Bai who took the Death Powder, but I don't know who Concubine Bai used it on. That's all I know."
After hearing this, Situ Yao smiled. As long as he spoke, their efforts would not be in vain. He took out a pill from his body and put it into his mouth.
"You guys keep an eye on me and don't make any mistakes." After Situ Yao gave the order, he took a group of people out, changed into new coats, and then entered the study.
Su Mengyan was still sitting in the study, flipping through a book. She was reading so carefully that she didn't notice anyone approaching.
"What are you looking at so seriously?" Situ Yao had been sitting next to her for a while. Seeing that she hadn't noticed, he finally spoke up to remind her, his smile bright. "I've been here for a long time. Do I have such a low profile?"
He took the book from Su Mengyan's hand and saw that it was just a very boring book on military law. He didn't expect a woman to be so absorbed in reading it. Her serious look made him feel itchy.
"Have you spoken?" Su Mengyan smiled a little embarrassedly. She put down the book and sat across from him, her eyes sparkling. Speaking of this, Situ Yao looked like he was waiting for praise: "Don't you care who your husband is? He's just a Miao, but he's already confessed everything. As long as we bring him to the palace tomorrow to testify for us, then we can wait and see."
I was very satisfied to hear this result, and couldn't help but recall the expressions on Situ Zhao and Cui Mixue's faces that day. However, I don't know why, I still felt uneasy and hanging in the air.
"Yan'er, how come you are so powerful? You acted so quickly and caught that Miao man before they even noticed. Otherwise, he would have been killed by them long ago." Situ Yao couldn't help but sigh. Everything was going so smoothly.
Su Mengyan didn't intend to hide anything from him, and just said: "I don't know either, I just have some premonition ability. But I can't predict everything."
Although this ability sounded like a fantasy to them, as long as it was Su Mengyan, Situ Yao tried hard to accept it. After all, such a thing did exist, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
The next day, when Situ Yao and others were preparing to bring the Miao people to the emperor, there was more news in the palace.
It seems that Hui Fei's personal maid accidentally found it under the bed when she was packing things. It was found in a sandalwood box, which contained evidence of her framing the late queen and the late crown prince, as well as some letters.
