After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

On the other side, after Lu Xuan entered the underground dungeon of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he quickly began interrogation.

Old Ghost Liu cried like a ghost and lied without thinking, "I am just a farmer. It was that fat woman who coveted my body and abducted me by force. Fortunately, I was determined and did not let that fat woman defile my pure body!"

Lu Xuan glanced at him indifferently and waved his hand for someone to bring a set of torture instruments over.

"These instruments of torture have not been sharpened for a long time. Today is the perfect time to sharpen them with blood." He raised his chin towards Liu Laogui, "Let's start with him."

"Hey, hey, hey, how can you treat an old man like this?"

Liu Laogui's skin tensed up as he looked at the handsome young man in front of him, whose words made people's hair stand on end.

Seeing someone walking towards him with a shiny boning knife, Liu Laogui was almost scared to death.

However, refining the magic powder is a capital crime. If he tells it out, he will die. If he holds on to it, he may have a chance of survival.

"I am just an ordinary citizen. Are you, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, going to use your power to bully us ordinary people?"

Old Ghost Liu stretched his neck and yelled, "Help! Someone is killing someone in the Zhenguo Mansion!!"

When Bai Youyou walked in, she heard the old man's ghostly howling. She curled her lips and smiled, "This is the dungeon of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. You can scream, but no one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out."

Seeing the boning knife getting closer and closer, he swallowed and said, "I really don't know. That person always wears a mask every time he comes. I don't know his true face at all."

"It seems he is still dishonest."

Bai Youyou looked at the boning knife in the man's hand, her eyes rolled, and she said in a faint voice: "How exciting is it to be cut into pieces? I remember there is a particularly interesting method recorded in a book."

Lu Xuan walked to her side, raised his hand and rubbed her head, looking at her lovingly, "What's the method?"

"The book says that if you peel off a person's skin, smear it with honey, and then use ants to gnaw at the skin and flesh, the person will turn into a skeleton but not die."

Bai Youyou's words made Liu Laogui's calves tremble.

This little girl looks innocent, gentle and weak, so how come the words she says are so horrifying?

He thought about how all his flesh and skin had been eaten away by ants and insects, leaving only a pile of bones, and his body was shaking like a sieve.

"Everything I said is true. After they caught me, they locked me up in the yard. They even wore a mask when they saw me. I really didn't know!"

Lu Xuan frowned slightly. "How can I believe your empty words? Do you have any evidence?"

"You might as well ask that fat woman instead of asking me. She knows much more than I do."

A man who knows the current situation is a hero. Liu Laogui didn't want to suffer physical pain when he was old, so he gave up Yong'an Hou without any guilt. "But I heard them mention Yong'an Hou before, and I really don't know anyone else except this one."

Lu Xuan ordered someone to bring the old procuress over.

Soon, the madam was brought in.

When she saw the scene in front of her, she pursed her lips and made an expression that said, "I'm not afraid of death."

Lu Xuan looked down at her and said, "Tell me, what do you know about the Immortal Powder? And the fact that Yong'an Hou was involved in it."

The madam snorted coldly, "You can kill me or chop me up as you wish. I can never betray my master!"

"Sixth cousin, if that's the case, then let's cut it first." Bai Youyou said in a light voice, "That's great, I also want to see if the method in the book is really that magical."

The madam didn't know what they had said before. She just raised her chin and made an expression as if she was ready to die.

Liu Laogui looked at her sympathetically and said, "You'd better tell me everything you know, so as to avoid further physical pain."

"You want me to sell out my master for fame and fortune? Forget it!"

"It's up to you." Liu Laogui sneered, "You'll be crying and begging for mercy soon."

Lu Xuan was too lazy to waste time with these people. He raised his hand and said, "Listen to the young lady. Peel off her skin, apply honey on it, and find more ants."

"what?!"

The old procuress, who had been stubborn just now, staggered when she heard this.

Lu San walked over with a boning knife, grabbed her arm and cut her without saying a word.

"what!!!"

The severe pain came over her, and the madam screamed miserably when she saw a piece of flesh missing from her arm.

"hiss!!!"

Liu Laogui looked at the miserable appearance of the madam, grinned at her and trembled.

How miserable! !

"Go find some ants." Lu Xuan instructed his men, "and bring a bottle of honey."

Liu Laogui shrank his neck and advised: "You'd better confess. It's not easy for you to grow this body of flesh. It's a pity to be eaten by ants and insects into a pile of bones."

The madam's face turned pale when she thought of her skin and flesh being eaten by ants, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to say anything.

Lu San raised his knife and slashed it down. After a few cuts, several pieces of human skin appeared on the ground.

Bai Youyou didn't really want to skin the person like this, or else the person would die from excessive blood loss without saying anything.

"Let's try it first."

Lu Sanjiang smeared honey on the bloody arm of the madam and poured a jar of ants on it.

The madam trembled like a sieve as she watched the ants gnawing at her flesh.

Liu Laogui, who was standing by, stretched his neck to look at the madam's arm. Seeing that she was about to faint, he gloated, "Are you scared now? I told you that there would be a time for you to beg for mercy."

Finally, the madam stammered, "Sir, I am forced to do this. It was the Marquis of Yong'an who ordered me to do this. He said that as long as I do what he says, I will be rich and prosperous."

Bai Youyou sneered, "Humph, then do you know how many people this immortal has harmed?"

The madam trembled and said, "I know I am guilty, but I dare not disobey."

Lu Xuan and Bai Youyou looked at each other, "You said it was the Yong'an Marquis, do you have any evidence?"

"Yes, the Marquis of Yong'an sent someone to deliver some letters. The letters are in Yichun Courtyard. You can go to my room and look for them. They are in the secret compartment of the desk."

Lu Xuan waved his hand, had the madam taken away, and ordered Lu San to get the things.

Early in the morning, the prince was furious when he learned that Zhu Er was killed and Liu Laogui was taken away by Lu Xuan.

While he was thinking of countermeasures, news suddenly came out that he used the Immortal Powder to control the court officials.

The news arranged by the Third Prince spread very quickly, causing an uproar throughout the court and the country.

"What? The prince used the magic powder to control the important officials in the court?"

"Wow, if this is true, then the position of the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace will come to an end!"

When the people controlled by the Shenxian Powder heard these words, they lowered their heads to hide the panic on their faces.

When the emperor heard about this, he immediately sent for the crown prince and asked him sternly, "There are rumors out there that you used the Immortal Powder to control important officials in the court. Is this true?"

The prince knelt on the ground and said, "Father, I am innocent. How could I do such a thing? It's all groundless. Someone is deliberately framing me!"

"Wrongly accuse you?"

The emperor stared at him sharply, "If I find out, you will no longer be the crown prince!"

"Father, please calm down. I will find out who framed me!"

"Get out!"

The emperor glanced at him coldly.

There is no such thing as a smoke screen. This is most likely true.

The emperor was furious. This rebellious son was eager to win over the court officials before he died! He himself had seized the throne in this way, so how could he not know what the prince was thinking?

The prince stood up and left the imperial study. Even without looking at the emperor, he knew what his expression was.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "How dare the Zhenguo Mansion slander me like this!"

The prince angrily left the palace with his men and went straight to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

When Lu Xuan learned of the rumor, he was well prepared. He led the soldiers in the mansion to be on high alert.

"Lu Xuan, you spread rumors and slandered me. Today I will make you pay the price!" the prince shouted.

Lu Xuan looked calm, neither humble nor arrogant, "Your Highness, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it. You know whether the Immortal Powder is slanderous or not."

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Lu San took out the things he found from Yichunyuan.

Lu Xuan held up the letter and said, "Your Highness, this is the evidence that proves that the Yong'an Marquis is involved in this matter. The Yong'an Marquis is your uncle. If you say that you didn't know about it, I'm afraid no one will believe you, right?"

When the prince saw the letter, his face turned pale.

He didn't expect that Marquis Yong'an would leave such a handle behind!
