Chapter 87: Entering the Dali Temple Again



Rong Xiu subconsciously reached out and pulled Hua Yuanzhao behind him, looking vigilantly at the group of people who had suddenly appeared.

This scene fell into the eyes of everyone, but there was another explanation.

Gu Changsu was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he wished he could tear the couple apart with his bare hands.

After a brief moment of surprise, Hua Yuanzhao calmed down and said calmly to Prime Minister Hua who was holding a sword: "I am a doctor, giving acupuncture to remove the poison for Master Rong, how can I be considered to be bringing disgrace to my family?"

"Detoxify?" Gu Changsu asked suspiciously, his eyes sweeping across the bottles and jars on the table in the yard.

"Yes!" Hua Yuanzhao said firmly, his eyes swept over the two of them, then softened his tone and nodded.

"Father, I was asked by the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo to research the antidote for the poison that Princess Lin'an was poisoned with and forgot the time. I shouldn't have made Grandmother worry about me. Please forgive me."

She secretly used the title of Lady of the Duke of Zhenguo as a pretext to justify her actions.

Gu Changsu frowned and waved his hand gently.

The officers and soldiers following behind them jumped in, searched the house inside and out as if they were ransacking a house, and even pulled out Fuling who was hiding.

Hua Yuanzhao hurriedly protected Fuling and looked at the group of people with dissatisfaction.

Song Zuo walked quickly to Gu Changsu, bowed, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, a large number of medicinal herbs were indeed found."

Gu Changsu nodded, stared at Hua Yuanzhao from head to toe, then sneered.

Prime Minister Hua calmed down in a short time, but his gaze towards Hua Yuanzhao also turned cold in an instant.

"If you want to research the antidote, why doesn't Miss Hua stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion to research?" Gu Changsu asked coldly.

"Of course I'm afraid of disturbing grandma's rest." Hua Yuanzhao said vigilantly.

Gu Changsu snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Prime Minister Hua, and said rather coldly: "My father personally ordered a strict investigation of this matter. I will not let any suspicious person go. I hope Prime Minister Hua will forgive me."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Prime Minister Hua to respond, he waved his hand and ordered, "Come here."

"Miss Hua, please move to the Dali Temple." Gu Changsu flicked his sleeves and looked at Rong Xiu standing in front of Hua Yuanzhao. The more he looked, the more he found her annoying.

"What do you want to do?" Rong Xiu stood in front of Hua Yuanzhao cautiously: "The Dali Temple must provide evidence when arresting someone, right?"

Gu Changsu almost laughed out of anger. Couldn't all the herbs in the yard serve as evidence? Then what could be considered evidence?

This time in prison, the treatment was obviously much better than the previous time.

Fuling huddled beside Hua Yuanzhao, sobbing softly, and asked aggrievedly, "Miss, why didn't you say that those herbs were prepared by the Fourteenth Prince?"

"He's helping me out of kindness, why should I cause him this kind of trouble?" Hua Yuanzhao said with a frown, feeling vaguely that something was wrong.

"But..." Fuling still didn't understand. If this matter was related to the Fourteenth Prince, then if the Third Prince wanted to imprison them, he would have to consider whether it would offend the prince, right?

Isn’t this backer much better than Rong Liulang?

As the two were thinking, the prison door was suddenly opened.

The jailer held the key in his hand and looked at the two men with lustful eyes. His malicious gaze made them feel creepy.

"Jail, jailer, what can I do for you?" Fuling asked timidly.

The jailer chuckled and his evil eyes seemed to be glued to Fuling.

"It seems like there's a good deal this time. My trip wasn't in vain."

Hua Yuanzhao frowned and looked over, secretly alert in his heart.

He suddenly pointed at Fuling and said, "You, come out. I will take you to have some fun."

Fuling shrank back and stood in front of Hua Yuanzhao without moving.

Hua Yuanzhao reached out and pulled the girl, who was about to cry, behind him to protect her. He stared at her and asked, "What do you want to do? She knows nothing! If you want to ask questions, ask me!"

The jailer was frightened by her momentum, but quickly calmed down.

He looked Hua Yuanzhao up and down, smiled contemptuously and said, "You? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself! You fat pig! Get out of the way!"

Hua Yuanzhao's heart trembled, and then he heard the jailer continue to speak: "Be sensible and serve me well, and I will love you."

Fuling was so frightened that her face turned pale. She shrank behind Hua Yuanzhao and looked at the jailer, her eyes gradually becoming fierce.

"Brother, don't mess around!" A jailer who passed by heard this and knocked on the cell door to warn, "This is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion after all."

"Don't worry about it, Xiao Zhang!" The jailer laughed. "Last time Miss Hua came, she had to hand over the marriage contract to get out. What can she do to save her life this time?"

What else can a fat pig with nothing do except wait to die?

"As for this maid, no one will care if she dies here! Just let me have some fun." The jailer smiled and stepped forward. There were many such things in the prison. Even if someone knew about it, what would happen? At most, he would just give her a few words of admonition.

"Xiao Zhang, do you want to join us?" the jailer asked casually.

Xiao Zhang hesitated for a moment and stood at the door without moving, apparently still hesitating.

Seeing the jailer approaching, Hua Yuanzhao suddenly held his breath, raised the small spray bottle in his hand and sprayed it towards the man's face.

The jailer was originally sitting and having a sweet dream, but suddenly everything before his eyes became distorted. The face of the person before him was as grim as Yama, and the sound in his ears was like the howling of ghosts.

"Ghost..." The jailer shuddered and fell to the ground, staring at the Yama in front of him in horror.

He was so scared that he ran out stumblingly. As he ran out of the door, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Hua Yuanzhao was also shocked by his reaction. He subconsciously looked down at the small spray bottle in his hand and thought to himself that something was wrong.

When Rong Xiu came just now, she was in a hurry to clean up, and she put the remaining medicine into the spray bottle on the table, but she didn't expect that she took the wrong one?

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Zhang was startled and reached out to help him.

The jailer shook his hand off and ran out screaming, "Ghost - ghost -"

He had only run two steps when his body suddenly leaned forward and fell to the ground, completely silent.
