After the trial of Fu Zixian, Huo Wuyou had an idea in his mind.
He took out a black pill from somewhere and handed it to Yan Gui beside him.
Yan Gui didn't understand why, but he still followed Huo Wuyou's instructions and forced the liquid into Fu Zixian's mouth.
Fu Zixian was so frightened by the strange smell that he tried to vomit it out: "What did you give me to eat!?"
Huo Wuyou chuckled and said calmly, "It's just a deadly poison. If there's no antidote, your intestines will be ruptured within a few days."
Fu Zixian's face paled, and after a moment's silence, he roared, "I've confessed everything, why are you still trying to kill me?! It was the Chai family who paid me a large sum of money to transport grain, so I took the risk of doing this business. I gave almost all the grain to the Chai family, and I only kept some for private sales. If anyone dies, it will be the Chai family who dies before me! Why are you poisoning me?!"
After saying that, an inexplicable light flashed on his mind: "I know, you are all Prince Cheng's people. You and the Chai family have teamed up to harm me, and now you want to harm me and His Highness! Good on you, Tang Jinglei, you are courting death!"
Fu Zixian had already said all the useful words, and what followed were some vulgar and foul language to vent his anger. Huo Wuyou gave Yan Gui a look, and Yan Gui knocked the chattering Fu Zixian unconscious with a knife.
On the way back to the Tang Mansion, Yan Gui was a little worried: "My Lord, is this really okay?"
But Huo Wuyou was resting with his eyes closed in the carriage, not even raising his eyelids: "It's just a lump of mud, it's enough to scare him."
…
Tang Mansion.
After returning to the room, Xue Zhiyi was exhausted. She wanted to lean on the couch to rest for a while, but fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up again, it was already bright daylight.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a person leaning against the window, looking very leisurely.
Even though she was used to Huo Wuyou's visits, she still couldn't stand him visiting without saying a word.
She propped herself up and sat up. Since she had just woken up, there was still resentment in her eyes, and she stared at Huo Wuyou.
Seeing that she was awake, Huo Wuyou shamelessly walked forward, leaned against the bed frame and said, "Are you awake? I haven't seen you for a whole night. Did you miss me?"
Xue Zhiyi was glad that he was just taking a nap and did not take off his clothes, so he could still be seen by him in a neat manner.
"I didn't have time to think about anything last night. I'm not like the Marquis of Lin'an who has so much free time."
"How heartless." He said shamelessly: "I was busy all night last night, but I missed you many times."
Xue Zhiyi didn't want to chat with him, so he only asked him about the most important things: "Thank you for your hard work, Marquis Lin'an. I wonder if you found out who was behind that ancient road last night?"
After Huo Wuyou finished speaking the truth, Xue Zhiyi was shocked to learn the result. She could no longer sit still and stood up, pacing repeatedly. "I understand now. In other words, it was the Chai family who took advantage of Xue Ruoyu's postpartum weakness and poisoned her. Only Doctor Zheng's expensive prescription could reverse it. They forced Tang Jinglei to accept bribes and get involved in the ancient road incident. They also used a large sum of money as bait to drag the Fu family into it. If this matter is finally exposed, Gu Shichong's two important followers can be eliminated at once. After all this fuss, Tang Lin's brother-in-law, Lord Chai Xun, the prefect of Jiangzhou, is a member of Prince Cheng's party."
"Xue Ruoyu was poisoned?" Huo Wuyou was slightly surprised. "From what Tang Jinglei said, he doesn't seem to know about this yet."
Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi's expression turned cold, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Huo Wuyou was also a little more ambiguous: "Marquis Lin'an, there is one thing we may have guessed wrongly."
Seeing this, Huo Wuyou also grew serious. He stood up straight and walked to a position close to Xue Zhiyi. Xue Zhiyi supported his shoulders, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear: "Perhaps, the person who really harmed General Huo was not the Prince Gong Party."
Xue Zhiyi clearly felt Huo Wuyou's body stiffen. After a moment, he seemed to regain his breath: "What... did you say?"
Retracting the breath that fell on his ear, Xue Zhiyi looked into his eyes, her voice still soft enough for only they to hear. She said seriously and solemnly, "The poison in Xue Ruoyu's body was done by the Chai family. I am 90% sure of this. And the poison, after investigation by Sui Yunlang, is the same one used to harm the Queen Mother."
Huo Wuyou's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he narrowed his eyes slightly. "The person who poisoned my grandmother was Zhao Xu. He was also the one who colluded with the enemy and harmed my father and brother. And now we suddenly find out that Zhao Xu is actually Prince Cheng's man?"
After he finished speaking, he even found himself amused and laughed at an inappropriate time.
Xue Zhiyi thought of her past life. She had figured out a problem that she hadn't been able to figure out in her past life.
In his previous life, Huo Wuyou collected evidence and sued someone in the court for collaborating with the enemy and killing Huo's father and son, but the evidence inexplicably pointed to Shen Chiyan.
Perhaps, at that time, Huo Wuyou did find evidence of Zhao Xu's guilt, and he always regarded Zhao Xu as Gu Shichong's man. However, he was weak and powerless, so for the sake of checks and balances, he chose to cooperate with King Cheng.
Prince Cheng would never point a sharp knife at his own people, so he tampered with the evidence so that it would point to Shen Chiyan, who was following Prince Gong at the time. This not only made Shen Chiyan a scapegoat for Zhao Xu, but also eliminated one of Gu Shichong's wings.
So that's how it is... Whether in the past or present life, Huo Wuyou has never harmed the Shen family for any purpose.
This discovery made Xue Zhiyi's eyes mist with excitement.
Her voice was still soft: "It doesn't matter. It's not too late to know now. Anyway, I have always wanted Gu Shichong to die, and now, there is also Gu Shimin."
She originally thought that in her previous life, it was the Xue couple who pushed her into the abyss time and time again, and it was Gu Shichong who used her to defeat King Cheng and then stabbed her in the back. These two were the culprits who harmed her the most and benefited the most.
Reason told her that even though she said that she fell into prostitution because of Prince Cheng's frame-up of the Xue family, she should suppress her hatred in this life and use Prince Cheng to deal with Gu Shichong first.
But now, she finally found a reason to abandon her rationality.
The surging hatred was evident in her eyes. Her eyes were slightly red, and she smiled. There was a hint of temptation in her voice: "Huo Wuyou, let's kill them all together, okay?"
Her eyes were filled with excitement and eagerness to try, and there was a hint of chilling fear in them, but Huo Wuyou couldn't help but get closer.
There seemed to be something entangled between their eyebrows, which gradually brought the two closer.
"Okay." he responded.
When their foreheads touched, his eyes were red: "Kill me if you want."
Xue Zhiyi likes Huo Wuyou the most. His strong murderous aura seems to be about to ignite into a raging fire with her, which has an incomparable attraction to her.
Especially, a young man who is so bright and casual on weekdays.
His breath also seemed to be burning and extremely hot... This made Xue Zhiyi want to take advantage of it.
She only felt Huo Wuyou's eyes lightly closed, and his lips gradually moved closer...
