Regent, your poisonous concubine is going to defy the heavens

Su Shengsheng pushed Mo Chenyuan away and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please leave quickly. Someone is coming."

Mo Chenyuan hesitated, "If they come in, I will kill them."

Su Shengsheng frowned, "If the prince really did this, when will the murderer be caught, and when will the girls who died in the Zhu Mansion be vindicated?"

At this time, Mo Chenyuan only wanted to take Su Shengsheng away and not let her be in danger, so he didn't care about so many things.

Su Shengsheng said again: "If the prince insists on doing this, then I will only look down on the prince."

Mo Chenyuan looked at Su Shengsheng's determined eyes, knowing that it was impossible to take her away, so he said: "I will always be by your side."

Then it flew out through the window.

The door was opened, Su Shengsheng covered her head with the veil, and the maid outside came forward, "Madam, Master Zhu is here."

Su Shengsheng didn't answer. The door creaked, and it was unclear whether it was closed from the outside or the inside.

Then Shengsheng heard footsteps coming towards her. Shengsheng looked down and saw a red robe, and she knew that the person was Master Zhu.

But the person in front of him did not lift the veil for a long time. After a while, the person in front of him started coughing, "Ahem..."

Su Shengsheng frowned when she heard the voice. It seemed that Mr. Zhu was seriously ill.

Just as I was thinking about it, the voice in front of me said hoarsely: "Girl, I'm sorry."

Sorry? Before Su Shengsheng could react, her veil was lifted off.

"Cough cough..."

Su Shengsheng raised her eyes and saw a man with a pale face. At first glance, she would think he was a zombie.

The man in front of him bowed and said, "Miss, I am Zhu Wenlin."

"Are you the eldest son of the Zhu family?"

"It's me... cough cough..." Zhu Wenlin coughed a few more times.

Su Shengsheng looked Zhu Wenlin up and down, but did not make the next move. Zhu Wenlin covered his chest and said with difficulty: "When it's late at night, I will let the girl go."

Su Shengsheng looked at Zhu Wenlin's guilty eyes, which didn't seem to be fake. She began to wonder, "If it wasn't because the young master of the Zhu family was seriously ill and needed a wedding, why would Zhu Wenlin let me go now?"

Zhu Wenlin slowly moved his feet and sat on the round stool, "Ahem... Miss, don't be afraid. I won't do anything to you."

Su Shengsheng was confused for a moment, so she pretended to be scared and looked at Zhu Wenlin.

Zhu Wenlin looked at Su Shengsheng's nervous and frightened expression and said, "My elders at home were worried about my illness, so they tried all kinds of treatments. I don't know where they heard that getting married could alleviate my illness, but I'm sorry that you scared me."

Su Shengsheng shook her head and asked timidly: "But I heard that you have married several brides."

Zhu Wenlin's eyes flashed with surprise, "What did the girl say?"

Su Shengsheng frowned slightly, "Master Zhu doesn't know about this?"

"Ahem..." Zhu Wenlin propped his hands on the table and said slowly, "I have been lying in bed due to a serious illness in the past two months. I have never heard that I have married another girl."

Su Shengsheng looked at Zhu Wenlin's ignorant expression, and her doubts grew even stronger. How could he, as the person involved, not know about it? Then who put those girls in the secret room?

There was a sudden knock on the door, and they both looked over.

The maid's voice sounded outside, "Sir."

Zhu Wenlin stood up, glanced at Su Shengsheng, and walked over to open the door.

"What's the matter?"

The maid held the medicine in her hand and said respectfully: "It's time for you to take the medicine."

Zhu Wenlin looked at the red-black medicine in the bowl and frowned, "Bring it here."

After taking the bowl of medicine, Zhu Wenlin closed the door and placed the medicine on the table.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Su Shengsheng appear in front of him, with a slightly stunned expression.

Su Shengsheng looked at the medicine in the bowl and always felt a bloody smell, so he asked: "Sir, don't you smell anything wrong with this medicine?"

Zhu Wenlin smiled bitterly, "It did taste good when I first drank it, but the elders at home said it was a folk remedy, and it contained deer blood, so it naturally had a flavor."

Su Shengsheng sneered, "It seems that the elders in your family are very worried about you."

"Excuse me, young lady."

Su Shengsheng sat down on the stool. "According to what you just said, Master Zhu must have married those girls to bring you good luck without your consent."

After Zhu Wenlin sat down, he asked, "According to what the young lady said, where are those girls now?"

"It must be in Zhu's house." Then he looked at the medicine in the bowl, "Those girls disappeared mysteriously after they got married, and the blood you added to the bowl is not deer blood."

Zhu Wenlin was very smart and immediately guessed what Su Shengsheng meant.

He shook his head in disbelief and said, "It's impossible. My father and mother are both kind-hearted people. How could they do such a thing?"

Su Shengsheng checked the Zhu Mansion before coming here. The master and mistress of the Zhu family were indeed very kind. They would give porridge to beggars in the city on weekdays, and would pick a few people from those who had no jobs and put them in their own shops.

Many people in the city praised Mr. Zhu as a great and kind man, and said that he would have good fortune in the future.

But God was not on his side. The young master of the Zhu family suddenly fell seriously ill and no medicine could cure him. Mr. Zhu and his wife devoted themselves to their child and looked for medicine everywhere.

After Su Shengsheng found out that Zhu Wenlin didn't know about this, she realized that it was all arranged by Mr. Zhu and Madam Zhu.

Then he revealed his cards: "I know where those girls are now."

Zhu Wenlin was shocked, "How did the girl know that?"

"Don't worry about how I know. I'm asking you, since you don't believe it, do you want to know the truth?"

Zhu Wenlin stared at Su Shengsheng, "Isn't the girl the bride?"

"You're quite smart!"

Zhu Wenlin asked cautiously: "You dressed up as a bride just for those girls?"

Su Shengsheng took off the tassels on both sides of her hair and said casually: "I wonder if you know about the recent incident of a bride being murdered in Ancheng?"

Zhu Wenlin shook his head.

Su Shengsheng picked up the cake beside her and started eating. "I originally wanted to investigate the murder of the bride, but I didn't expect your Zhu family to give you a happy wedding at this critical moment. I wondered if it had something to do with your Zhu family."

"I visited your Zhu Mansion last night, and I didn't expect to see those girls."

Zhu Wenlin recalled the noise he heard in the room last night, "Is the girl a government official?"

"No, I saw a reward notice posted at the door when I entered the city, so I thought about whether I could catch the murderer."

Zhu Wenlin has been staying in his room since he fell ill. There were several times when he felt like he was going to fall asleep, and it was his father and mother who tried their best to save him.

He was also very curious about how his parents did it, so he nodded and said, "Then go ahead, Miss Yi. I also want to know the truth."

Su Shengsheng thought Zhu Wenlin would protect her parents, but she didn't expect him to agree.

He nodded, looked at the wine on the table and said, "There's a drug in it, it's meant for the bride to drink. I'll pretend to faint and they'll take me away. Then you can find an excuse to follow them."

Zhu Wenlin frowned as he looked at the wine on the table. Could it be that they were really his parents?

Nodding, Su Shengsheng took off the extra jewelry on her head, then leaned on the table and said, "Go call someone, sir!"

Zhu Wenlin coughed twice, stood up, opened the door, and called out weakly, "Someone come!"

Two or three servants immediately appeared in the corner, "Young Master."
