Many people died in Beijing overnight.
The ways these people died were different, but they all had the same strangeness.
Because neither the doctors nor the coroners could find out the cause of death of these people for a while.
Just as the people were in an ignorant panic, a piece of news spread through the streets and alleys.
"Have you heard that those people died from poisoning?"
"What? Gu? Didn't that filthy thing disappear a long time ago?"
"Shh—I'm telling you this in secret, don't tell anyone else... I heard that Princess Zhan is good at using Gu, and she was arrested this time because her scheme was exposed..."
"Ah! Isn't Princess Zhan a doctor? How come she's also good at Gu?"
"Tsk, doesn't this person have to have a name to cover up his bad deeds? Oh, right, let me tell you, I heard from my third aunt's sister-in-law's mother-in-law's brother's wife that the old Duke Chen's wife, who was treated by Princess Zhan, seems to have been poisoned and is dying. And the so-called nun from before, her life and death are also uncertain..."
“…”
These words were circulated in every corner of Beijing.
In the palace.
All the court officials knelt on the ground and requested the emperor to severely punish Su Liyue.
"Your Majesty, Su Liyue is a witch. If she is not eliminated, there will be trouble in the future." A minister advised with sorrow.
"Your Majesty, the Gu Clan has been silent for a hundred years. Now that Su Liyue has made this move, I'm afraid it will lead to a revival. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty, we cannot allow this evil woman to spread cholera among the people."
“…”
The court officials were all heartbroken, but the emperor Ye Kunlin, who was sitting on the throne, had a sullen face and did not make a decision.
The Prime Minister Su Zhengsong, who was standing aside, had his brows slightly lowered at this time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Those who noticed him thought that he didn't speak because Su Liyue was his daughter and he was embarrassed about his status and couldn't say anything.
However, at this moment, Su Zhengsong suddenly looked up at Duke Chen.
At this time, the old Duke Chen had a sad face and looked like he had aged a lot.
Su Zhengsong said, "Old Duke Chen, I really don't want to see this happen, but since it has already happened, I can only say sorry. If you want to say anything about this matter, please feel free to say it. I will definitely not say a word more."
At this moment, Su Zhengsong looked majestic and awe-inspiring.
Everyone else also understood that Prime Minister Su was telling the old Duke that he didn't mind the old Duke's request to deal with Su Liyue.
In other words, all that's left is to ask for permission to deal with Su Liyue together.
This Prime Minister Su is indeed cruel.
However, Duke Chen did not do as Su Zhengsong wished. He just glanced at Su Zhengsong and then looked away without saying anything.
This morning court naturally ended without Ye Kunlin making any statement.
However, all the high officials still came to the emperor to request the execution of Su Liyue.
The petition for "Execute the evil woman Su Liyue" echoed in the streets and alleys of the capital at the speed of wind.
At this time, Su Liyue in the cell knew nothing, but she felt inexplicably uneasy.
So, when the jailer brought the meal, Su Liyue asked the jailer.
But the jailer didn't dare to get into trouble and didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing this, Su Liyue shot out a silver needle, and the jailer was frozen in place.
"Princess...lady, please spare my life." The jailer looked terrified.
Su Liyue looked at the jailer like this and clearly felt that something was wrong.
The jailer today was even more frightened than yesterday, as if he were some kind of female devil.
Thinking of this, Su Liyue simply sat down and looked at the immobile jailer leisurely, "Why, do you think I want to kill you?"
Jailer: “…No…it’s not…” How dare he admit it?
In fact, although Su Liyue looks so leisurely now, in the eyes of this jailer, she is no different from a female devil who kills people without blinking an eye.
The jailer even thought he was going to die today.
He didn't know that he couldn't move because of the silver needles, he just thought he was poisoned.
Su Liyue seemed to see what the jailer was thinking, and her eyes suddenly turned cold. "I want to hear the truth."
Jailer: “…” He was so scared that he wanted to kneel down.
But, I can’t kneel.
As for Su Liyue, he became more and more afraid.
So he told her everything that happened outside.
Su Liyue: “…”
Although Chu Tianhe's words made her guess, when she really heard the truth, she still felt a little screwed.
Could it be that Father also thinks that she is the 'witch' who brings disaster to the world?
No, that's not right.
If my father really thought so, I would have been executed long ago. How could I stay safely in this cell?
Thinking of this, Su Liyue's eyes became even darker.
Su Liyue shot another silver needle at the jailer, knocking down the previous one.
When the jailer felt that he could move again, he left in a hurry without caring about anything else.
Su Liyue: “…” There’s no need to do this.
Su Liyue was speechless.
But now she wants to solve this matter properly.
Looking at the lock on the cell door, Su Liyue wondered how likely it was that she could pick the lock and leave safely.
It's not that I want to escape, but staying in the cell won't help.
She couldn't just put all her hopes on others and then go to jail and wait for death, right?
Although she might not be able to find evidence in her favor if she went out, if she didn't go out she would really just be waiting to die.
But if I break out like this, will I be considered a fugitive?
