The wife of the Duke of Anguo was still holding on to her superior status and refused to give in. After being pulled back by a soldier, she shouted at her husband in a panic, "Master, when did our family ever think of murdering the Crown Princess? This is a frame-up. Your Highness must have misunderstood. You must think of a solution!"

If the family of four were really dragged out of the gate by the imperial guards and seen by others, they would never have to go out to see anyone again.

Duke Anguo is over forty and has grown a beard. Since the old Duke fell ill, he inherited his father's title and has been leading the family for nearly ten years. He is the undisputed pillar of the Liu family.

But at this moment, he suddenly knelt down, tears streaming down his face, and cried bitterly: "God, my Liu family is wronged!"

"..." Liu Wanning closed her eyes in pain. She didn't understand why...

Why did things come to this? The poison was only injected last night, but in just one day, the problem has already occurred?

It is clearly the most unique Gu in the world. My brother said that the number of people who know about this Gu is no more than a handful, and there will not be any signs of it in the pulse.

But why on earth is this happening? According to her speculation, the poison has only just taken its toll, so the bitch should be somewhat uncomfortable with His Highness's closeness. As the poison takes longer to enter her body, her already shallow love for him gradually becomes false, until she can no longer bear the disgust and is discovered by His Highness.

That was when Wei Hanzhang fell from the clouds.

Could it be that there was an expert around that bitch, and the poison didn't work at all? She subconsciously looked in the direction of her brother, but saw that his face was pale, and he was terrified and taken away by the imperial guards holding his arm.

After taking all members of the Liu family under control, the imperial guards began a carpet search. Although the yard was not large, the search took more than half an hour. As expected, nothing was found in the end.

After leaving Liu's house, Chen Zishu's expression had returned to his usual calm self. He was riding on a horse, followed by the four members of the Liu family who were being escorted by the imperial guards.

If His Highness wanted to leave some room for maneuver, he would not be so rude. Chen Zishu knew this, and so did the Liu family.

Regardless of whether this matter is necessarily related to the Liu family, it doesn’t matter. The Crown Princess was poisoned, and it was Grandpa Liu who led troops to suppress the Miaojiang rebellion. This reason is enough for the Liu family to be in big trouble.

The imperial guards showed no sign of restraining their actions. Those who were more informed heard the news overnight, and people were in a panic for a while.

Since the day the empire was founded, the Duke's Mansion, which was granted hereditary status, had truly prospered for a hundred years. Unexpectedly, it collapsed so suddenly.

The Wei family was closer to the inner city and there was no need to search, so Li Yue brought Wei Hansu back to report faster.

Li Yue was the one who interrogated the man, and Xiao Junzhan never came out of the hall.

Although Wei Hansu's pretentious and girlish behavior had no effect on Li Yue, she was a girl from the Wei family after all, and Li Yue did not dare to torture her as he did to the palace maids.

After several questions, looking at the girl who could only cry like a tearful pear blossom in the rain, Li Yue went to find Ning Hai with a headache.

Ning Hai naturally didn't dare to make the decision. He knocked on the palace door and pushed it open. When he reached the door of the inner room, he spoke in a low voice, "Your Highness... Miss Wei Qi seemed to be frightened and kept crying. I couldn't get anything out of her."
