Chapter 889 His White Moonlight 22
Yu Muhuai and Yuwen Xue also barely slept all night.

Yuwen Xue was frightened during the day and tossed and turned at night, unable to fall asleep.

Yu Muhuai participated in the interrogation of the man in black and didn't return to his room until very late.

She had interrogated others before, but mostly she used the power of the Sophist or brute force.

The methods used by He Qiancheng and others are quite different.

Lou Yunsheng's men had their own professional interrogation methods, starting from the basics and gradually increasing the intensity, targeting the most painful and unbearable parts.

Although the man in black was tough, he couldn't withstand such a brutal interrogation.

Yu Muhuai watched the whole thing with great interest and even tried his hand at interrogation techniques.

The man in black was in excruciating pain, but he just couldn't die. Even if he fainted, he would be immediately woken up by a splash of cold water.

What really makes you want to curse is this woman in front of you with her eyes shining.

It's like she's using him as a guinea pig, subjecting him to all sorts of torture!
The man in black cried out in agony, but most of his teeth were gone, a piece of his tongue was missing, and his face was severely damaged, so he couldn't make a sound.

Hurry up and give me a quick and painless end!

Finally, after Yu Muhuai got the answer he wanted, he fulfilled the wish of the poor man in black.

Compared to the men in black here, the mole that Lou Yunsheng found was not so tough.

He was just an ordinary soldier who had never received such rigorous training. He confessed everything after a few beatings.

But the junior officer was just someone who did things for money and had limited information; the key information came from the man in black.

Based on the testimonies of the two men, Lou Yunsheng finally determined that the group of assassins in black were sent by Lou Yunxian.

Lou Yunxian was his elder brother, the third prince of the current dynasty.

Lou Yunsheng remained silent for a long time after confirming this information.

Yu Muhuai was also somewhat surprised.

In his previous life, until Zhong Ci left Lou Yunsheng, he was only Prince Duan and had not yet become the Crown Prince.

Although the emperor was in poor health at that time, he still stubbornly lived on.

The emperor had been signaling his intention to establish a crown prince, but he had not yet issued the decree.

Besides Lou Yunsheng, there were only the third prince and the fifth prince.

If a competitive prince had to be chosen, then the only one would be the third prince, Lou Yunxian.

The Fifth Prince was too timid and cowardly, and even spoke in a soft voice. The Emperor used to scold him for being effeminate and thought he was incapable of shouldering heavy responsibilities.

The third prince is quite good in terms of knowledge and ability to handle affairs, but he is very playful, which is very similar to his father, the emperor.

Moreover, there's a hint of a playful nature in him, a trait that surpasses even his teacher's.

He was not only playful, but also had a rather violent personality.

Knowing that playing around would interfere with important national affairs, the emperor did not want to find another successor who was as playful as him.

Therefore, the Third Prince was ranked after Lou Yunsheng.

However, if something were to happen to Lou Yunsheng, the emperor would have no choice but to pass the throne to Lou Yunxian.

Presumably, the Third Prince had this in mind, which is why he wanted to assassinate Lou Yunsheng when he arrived in Gushui City.

These men in black must be the private soldiers raised by the Third Prince.

In his previous life, all those who came to attack him were wiped out, and Lou Yunsheng was unable to find out anything, so he did not take any action against the Third Prince.

But this life is different. Now Lou Yunsheng knows that there are still people in the palace who want his life.

Lou Yunsheng sent men to imprison the junior officer who had acted as an internal traitor, but did not rush to deal with him.

His immediate priority is to handle official business; Lou Yunxian's matter is not urgent.

The next day, Yu Muhuai slept until noon. Lou Yunsheng had already gotten up and gone out to inspect the area again, and was discussing the water management project.

Having learned from yesterday's experience, Lou Yunsheng brought even more trusted confidants with him today, and absolutely forbade Yuwen Xue from following them again.

He really wanted to ask Yu Muhuai when she learned her kung fu, but seeing that Yu Muhuai was still sleeping, he didn't disturb her and left early.

However, when Yu Muhuai went out, he saw Qian Ran standing outside the door.

Qian Ran offered to stay, and Lou Yunsheng agreed without much thought.

Upon seeing Yu Muhuai, Qian Ran's expression was quite complicated.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Ah Ci, when did you start learning kung fu?"

Yu Muhuai had anticipated that others would ask this question, so he simply recited the answer he had prepared in advance.

"To tell you the truth, I once fell off a cliff while out and about. Luckily, there was a cave at the bottom of the cliff. I lived in it for a few days and saw a skeleton with a martial arts manual next to it."

Qianran:
Yu Muhuai glanced at Qian Ran, whose expression was becoming increasingly blank, and gestured for him to pour himself a cup of tea.

Qianran obediently complied.

He couldn't wait to hear what happened next.

This experience was more captivating than any story told by a storyteller in a teahouse he had ever heard!

Why does he automatically associate the word "story" with it?

After Yu Muhuai finished his succinct and nonsensical rambling, he turned and left, leaving Qian Ran standing there, savoring the moment.

When Lou Yunsheng returned that evening, Yu Muhuai repeated these words again.

Lou Yunsheng, Qian Cheng, and their subordinates listened with great interest.

The matter was thus easily resolved.

However, Yuwen Xue did not so easily let go of the assassination attempt.

She is sick.

The long journey of more than half a month had not been well eaten or slept, and the near-assassination attempt had left him shaken.

With her old ailment still unhealed and new injuries added, Yuwen Xue fell ill.

Lou Yunsheng was very worried, but he was too busy with other things to take care of Yuwen Xue. He could only send someone to take good care of her.

The current environment in Gushui City is not good.

The flood brought a lot of garbage and bacteria. The city was too crowded and the air was polluted, making it unsuitable for people with health problems to live in.

Moreover, resources are scarce now, and conditions in all aspects are not as good as in the capital. The food is only enough to fill one's stomach.

Looking at Yuwen Xue, who was lying weakly on the bed, Cuizhi was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.

Just then, the door to the room suddenly opened, and someone walked straight in.

Through her tear-filled eyes, Cuizhi could only see a blurry figure.

She only recognized who it was when the other person walked right up to her.

"Miss Zhong, what brings you here?"

Yu Muhuai handed the bowl in his hand to Cuizhi.

"Miss Zhong, what is this?" Cuizhi took the bowl, sniffed, looked down at it, and asked curiously.

Yu Muhuai couldn't help but roll her eyes, looking at Cuizhi as if she were an idiot.

"It tastes so bitter, how can you not tell what it is?"
