Finally, after much deliberation, Chiang Chung-chen decided to give the medicine to Chiang Yuan.
The sixth princess's final attitude actually put her at ease. If she had been given kind advice, she would have suspected that the sixth princess had ulterior motives.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuan woke up not long after, and Jiang Zhongzhen was finally relieved.
But once he relaxed, the raging anger he had just suppressed flared up again.
At this moment, the first thing Jiang Yuan said after waking up was, "Mother, avenge me! I want that man to suffer a fate worse than death."
Jiang Yuan had never suffered such humiliation. It was his good fortune to have taken a liking to him before. She found his rejection somewhat novel. Even when he knocked out her subordinates, she didn't take it seriously. He was just a man of some skill. Besides, wasn't that more interesting?
But the fact that he dared to mess with her was unbearable for her.
Jiang Zhongzhen was equally indignant, "Yuan'er, don't worry, your mother will definitely avenge you."
After saying that, he headed towards the East Palace.
Wei Sijin was furious upon hearing this, but her anger was not directed at the fate of her aunt and cousin, but at the fact that her prestige had been ignored and trampled upon.
Is Wei Wangqing really going to tear off all ties with her?
The thought that her mother had also assigned her to investigate He Sheng's case only fueled her anger.
But an idea popped into her head: if Wei Wangqing were to be interrogated, could she find a loophole to both silence him and make Wei Wangqing bear the blame?
After all, the person died while she was in charge of the interrogation.
Perhaps she could even send someone to subtly suggest that Wei Wangqing was the one crying wolf and silencing the witness. After all, someone has to take the blame.
Haha, killing two birds with one stone.
"Aunt, you don't need to worry about this for now. I have my own plans. I'll definitely teach Wei Wangqing a lesson."
As for the doctor, Wei Sijin naturally didn't care. He was just a man; what could he do? It was her sixth sister who was obsessed with men and would eventually fall into trouble because of it.
Fortunately, that's the case.
Although Chiang Chung-chen was unwilling, she had no choice but to accept the Crown Princess's words.
However, she wouldn't let the young doctor who injured her daughter get away with it.
After returning to his residence, Wei Wangqing said to Wu Changming, "I will assign you two people with good martial arts skills. Take them with you when you go out, so you won't have to take action yourself. Besides, poison is not foolproof, especially when people are already on guard. I'm afraid the Jiang family won't let this go easily."
Yes, it's obvious today that Chiang Chung-chen is a petty and narrow-minded person, and she certainly won't let them off easily.
However, she was ultimately protected by her status as a princess, while Wu Changming was powerless and without influence.
Although Wu Changming was confident that his poison would not fail, he was not ungrateful.
"Then thank you very much, Your Highness."
"Yes." Valuable people always deserve help.
After waiting for two days, Wei Wangqing finally decided to visit his old friend in prison.
Lord Yao personally led the sixth princess into the prison.
I thought the Sixth Princess, pampered and spoiled, would never have witnessed such a bloody scene, but I underestimated her. I never expected her to remain so unfazed by the sight. Back when I first entered the Dali Temple, well, it was a long story!
"Your Highness, this way."
Wei Wangqing wasn't exactly unfazed; she was just holding back. She couldn't let these people look down on her, otherwise, how would she interrogate He Sheng later?
Pretend you don't see it, it's all fake, just an act. Wei Wangqing hypnotized himself.
Wei Wangqing finally reached the innermost part of the dungeon and saw He Sheng, who had been tortured beyond recognition. He thought to himself, "What was the point? He's only hurting himself and others!"
"Lord Yao, you may leave now. I would like to speak with her alone."
"this……"
"What, are you afraid she'll escape, sir?"
"I dare not, this humble official will take his leave."
Wei Wangqing ordered the bailiffs beside her, "Splash her awake." This was all her own fault, and Wei Wangqing didn't have much sympathy for her. After all, if it weren't for Wu Changming, tens of thousands of people would have died, and the other party didn't even blink an eye.
In Wei Wangqing's opinion, the Wu tribe was somewhat forgivable, as they were, after all, enemies. But this kind of internal traitor was far more hateful. She ate the food of the Great Wei, lived in the Great Wei's house, used the Great Wei's resources, and even received a salary from the Great Wei, yet she turned around and betrayed the Great Wei, harming the people of the Great Wei!
Where did they get the nerve?
When He Sheng woke up, the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the Sixth Princess. He was immediately furious. "It's you! You've already done so much to me, what else do you want to do!"
"Oh, isn't this quite energetic? Looks like you haven't been tortured enough?" Wei Wangqing sneered.
"Did you turn a blind eye?" Wei Wangqing turned to look at the yamen runners.
The constables hurriedly exclaimed that there was none, while those with good eyesight immediately picked up whips and began to lash He Sheng.
"No disrespect is allowed towards the Sixth Princess."
He Sheng was immediately speechless, writhing in pain.
"Stop."
The constables immediately stopped and returned to their original positions.
"Isn't that much more obedient? Why can't you just talk nicely? Why do I have to use my hands?" As she spoke, Wei Wangqing glanced at her, her coquettish tone like that of a lover, which made He Sheng even more terrified.
The yamen runners below were full of admiration. No wonder she was a princess. Look at her interrogation techniques. They should learn from her.
"However, you're wrong about something. I'm not the one who ruined you like this."
“It’s your master!” Wei Wangqing leaned closer and whispered.
He Sheng trembled slightly. "What do you mean?"
"Isn't it obvious enough? You do things for her, and she pushes you to take the blame. But there's no such thing as a free lunch. Look at you, suffering here in a state of half-death, while she's probably living a carefree life, with a bunch of servants attending to her."
"Just like you used to be."
He Sheng did show a look of resentment, but that wasn't enough to make her say it.
This indirectly illustrates the person's high position and power. There is only one reason why she refuses to speak: if she did, the words she spoke would surely lead to an even more miserable death.
The only solution is to make her realize her situation; remaining silent will only hasten her demise.
"When you were escorted back to the capital, didn't you notice that I wasn't there? That's because I was there to share the burden for you. Otherwise, you would have been silenced long ago." He finished with a cold snort, seemingly showing utter contempt for this person.
Even though He Sheng had guessed it in his heart, he still couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear when he heard the Sixth Princess say it.
Wei Wangqing smiled as he looked on, thinking, "It's good that you know how to be afraid."
The yamen runner behind: Father, the Sixth Princess is so scary, I want to go home.
He Sheng stubbornly replied, "So what? I'm not dead yet, am I? As long as she can't kill me right now, that's fine."
"Soon."
"What?"
"I say you're stupid; you're about to die and you don't even realize it."
Do you think that someone with the other party's capabilities would be unable to infiltrate the Dali Temple?
bailiff: Oh my god, what did I just hear? Am I going to be silenced?
"With just a simple disguise, the world will have another prisoner who commits suicide out of fear of punishment."
"What do you think, Lord He?"
Wei Wangqing looked at the trembling He Sheng and thought, "Very good, now all that's left is that final shudder."
After saying that, he turned and left.
