Chapter 187 Cause of Death
"Master Mao!" Zhu Chong smiled faintly. "This prince doesn't like bloody things. You did this and killed someone. Are you going to tell my father, or are you counting on me to do it?"
After Zhu Chong said this, Mao Xiang suddenly stopped talking. Qi Sishe, who was lying on the ground, suddenly burst into shrill laughter, which made Mao Xiang's face become even uglier.
Looking at Qi Sishe who was laughing wildly, Zhu Chong shook his head. "Do you think that I am afraid of your death and dare not torture you?"
Qi Sishe looked at Zhu Chong with a sneer, her eyes full of disdain. It was obvious that she was prepared for everything that was going to happen next.
From the moment she was dragged into the prison, she knew she was doomed. No matter whether she confessed the mastermind behind the scenes or not, she was doomed. In that case, what else was there to say?
Moreover, when Qi Sishe thought of the death of Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of the Ming Emperor, at her hands, she trembled with excitement.
Until now, she still believed that the way she killed Zhu Xiongying had not been discovered by anyone. Even if Zhu Chong saw through it, it was just a coincidence. If she had not revealed her true identity, she would never have been dragged into the Sky Prison at this moment.
"Did you think you did it perfectly? Did you think no one could guess how you killed Zhu Xiongying?"
Zhu Chong signaled to hang Qi Sishe up, then slowly paced around her. The woman who was beaten all over her body was not interesting to look at, and was even a little disgusting, but when Zhu Chong's eyes fell on Qi Sishe, Qi Sishe still curled up involuntarily.
"Hehehe..." Qi Sishe sneered, suppressing the anger and shame in his heart.
"He was scared to death by you, right? You must have made a lot of preparations for this, right?" Zhu Chong stood behind the woman and asked softly.
Qi Sishe's body suddenly stiffened. Mao Xiang, listening nearby, felt his eyes widen. Zhu Xiongying was frightened to death? How could this be possible? How could this woman possibly do this?
Zhu Xiongying is a royal relative. It is impossible for him to have the opportunity to be alone with Qi Sishe in his palace. After all, such a young child will always be guarded by a large number of palace servants. Why did Zhu Chong say that?
But Mao Xiang would not have any doubts about Zhu's decision, and he still didn't understand why Zhu Chong concluded that Qi Sishe was the murderer of Zhu Xiongying based on an ice basin.
"I'm very curious. Who taught you to use such tactics on a child, magnifying their fear and letting them scare themselves, ultimately achieving the goal of killing them without shedding blood?"
Zhu Chong ignored Mao Xiang's frightened look and stared at Qi Sishe. "Do you want me to try it on you too? Let's see if I can scare you to death?"
"Hahahaha..." Qi Sishe suddenly burst into laughter. Mao Xiang's face instantly became extremely ugly. Only Zhu Chong's expression remained unchanged, because he could see the other party's psychological changes from Qi Sishe's panicked eyes.
I guessed right. Zhu Xiongying's death was exactly as I thought. It seems that I underestimated the ancients!
"Your Highness the Prince of Qin, is what you just said true or false?" Mao Xiang was now a little confused about Zhu Chong.
"Lord Mao, you should have heard the story about the one that can stop children from crying at night?" Zhu Chong looked at Mao Xiang with a smile, and Mao Xiang's face suddenly froze.
Of course he knew this. Several famous generals of the Ming Dynasty were once killing gods who could cure children's night crying.
In fact, Mao Xiang himself was threatened by his parents and relatives when he was a child, saying that if he didn't behave, so-and-so would come.
But if we say that Zhu Xiongying was frightened to death by a female official for this reason, Mao Xiang felt that he could not go back and explain to Zhu, and he believed that Zhu Chong could not explain either.
"Lord Mao seems to have believed it, and she also confirmed what I said." Zhu Chong pointed at Qi Sishe, "This woman must have been telling Xiongying all these messed-up stories, repeating them over and over again until Xiongying memorized them."
"As long as Xiongying remembers the story and waits for the right moment to act, this woman can easily make Xiongying experience the scenes in the story and cause him to die."
Zhu Chong casually took out a red-hot iron from the stove and gestured around Qi Sishe's body, then said, "I have to say, this method is really effective against children."
"It's because Xiongying just recovered from a serious illness. He's already fragile, and he wasn't well taken care of. As a result, you scoundrels took advantage of him."
Hearing this, Mao Xiang suddenly understood. He could tell from the increasingly frightened look in Qi Sishe's eyes that the woman in front of him was not afraid of the branding iron, but of what Zhu Chong had just said.
It turns out that there are such harmful methods in this world, and they are specifically targeted at children!
Of course, it was also because Qi Sishe had an identity that allowed her to get close to Zhu Xiongying. As a female official who managed Zhu Xiongying's food and daily life, she naturally spent every day with Zhu Xiongying. Naturally, there was an opportunity for her to contact Zhu Xiongying and instill some bad content into him.
Also because of her function, it is not difficult for her to set up the scene like what Zhu Chong described.
Qi Sishe's expression changed from fear to astonishment. Every word Zhu Chong said was like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard. She could not understand why Zhu Chong knew so much.
But so what? Qi Sishe burst into laughter. "Ah, Your Highness the Prince of Qin is indeed smart. You guessed it all. So what? You still can only watch him die, hahahaha..."
"Bitch!" Mao Xiang was furious and was about to violence Qi Sicheng, but was stopped by Zhu Chong.
"Master Mao, she is now desperately seeking death. If you kill her, it will suit her wishes. She is deliberately provoking you and doesn't want to confess who is behind this!"
Hearing what Zhu Chong said, Mao Xiang suddenly realized something and looked at Qi Sishe with even more resentment.
When Qi Sishe heard Zhu Chong's words, her face became extremely gloomy. She didn't expect that Zhu Chong would see through her intentions at once.
Zhu Chong casually threw the branding iron back into the furnace. "Do you think that if you continue to resist, you can prevent me from finding the person behind you?"
Qi Sishe snorted coldly and closed his eyes in silence. Zhu Chong smiled faintly, not angry at all. He slowly walked behind him and chuckled softly, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you tell me or not. It's not difficult for me to find that person!"
Hearing Zhu Chong say this, Qi Sishe snorted again, his face full of disdain. Mao Xiang on the side also widened his eyes, obviously not trusting what Zhu Chong said.
If Zhu Chong could find out the mastermind behind the scenes without asking, why didn't he say it when he was in the Eastern Palace?
