The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 442 Soul Search

It was indeed a surprise for Ye Wenyan that Ji Duo captured Jun Tao and brought him back.

She had no intention of attacking Jun Tao first, because she had already figured out most of what happened to Old Madam Ye, and it didn't matter whether Jun Tao said anything or not. Moreover, the original owner's original intention was to expose the old lady's crimes and seek justice for her grandfather. But the original owner never thought that the person who attacked her would be her grandmother.

This was not just a matter of face. The old general was a national hero. Whether he lived or died was not just a matter for the Ye family, but a matter for the entire Northern Qi. If he died of illness, it would be fine. But if he died at the hands of someone else, the murderer would be doomed to have his family and property confiscated.

The problem lies here. The murderer is also a member of the Ye family. The Ye family killed the Ye family and killed the general of the court. How to settle this account? If you want to settle it behind closed doors, then you can't make it public. Don't say a word. She did it quietly by herself.

If she wanted to make a scene in the court and let everyone know about it, she had to be prepared to protect her family. The court was not only Quan Qingcheng, but also the regent, the ministers, and so many censors and generals. When the time came, everyone would say that the Ye family murdered not only their family members, but also important officials of the country. This would make Northern Qi without generals to lead the troops, and the borders would be in turmoil, allowing anyone to invade!

Once such words were spoken, the spit could drown the Ye family. The death of the old general was a national event, and it was not something that the Ye family could decide, not to mention the general.

So this matter must be handled with caution. Before she is absolutely sure that she can free the person she wants to protect, she still has to cover it up.

She was very worried and pinched her forehead, just in time to see that Jun Tao's acupoints had been automatically unblocked and she woke up.

"Fourth Miss?" Jun Tao was shocked when she woke up. She looked around and found that she was in the Fourth Miss's room. Standing next to her were Ji Duo and Ji Rong, and standing next to the Fourth Miss was Zhuier. They were obviously a group of familiar people, but she didn't want to see any of them at the moment. She just wanted to escape and stay away from this first-class general's mansion. It would be best if she never saw them again in this life.

Unfortunately, there is no escape after all.

"It was the old lady who wanted to kill me, and the fourth lady's guards saved me." She smiled bitterly and glanced at Ji Duo. "Do you think I should thank you or hate you? Forget it, this is fate, and I am destined not to escape. Fourth lady, if you have anything to say, just ask. I will die anyway if I go back, and the old lady will get rid of me sooner or later. Since I can't escape, there is no point in keeping this life for a few more days."

When she said this, she glanced at Zhuier again, then at Jiduo and Jirong, and suddenly she smiled strangely, "Aren't you going out? Are you planning to just stand here and listen? Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you hear too many secrets of the master, you will be silenced sooner or later, and I am an example."

This made Zhuier laugh. "It depends on who your master is. Your master is your master, and our master is different from your master. Besides, we are different from you. Even if we know the secret, we will follow our master to the end, even if it means death. Unlike you, a runaway slave, you still have the nerve to remind us."

Ji Rong also said: "For a slave, the most taboo thing is disloyalty. Even if your master is full of evil, the moment you decide to be with him, you have boarded a ship full of evil. Getting off the ship midway is the most shameful, and whoever becomes your master will kill you."

Jun Tao gritted her teeth in hatred, "Don't talk so noble, loyal or not, you are just a slave. Just like you, although you are a slave of Ji, but a slave of Ji is still a slave. Your Ji family has been a slave for generations, and it can never be changed."

"So what?" Ji Rong didn't care at all. "Go and ask around. Who in this world, including the royal family, doesn't want to be Ji's slave? As for whether to change or not, only a fool would want to change to be a slave to the emperor. Our descendants won't even be happy enough. Only a fool would think of changing."

Jun Tao was so angry that she didn't know whether she was angry at Zhuier and Ji Rong, or at herself for not having a good master. Thinking about how she had carefully served the old lady for so many years, it was really sad that she ended up like this.

But in the final analysis, this matter was forced by the Fourth Miss. If the Fourth Miss didn't investigate, if the Fourth Miss didn't make endless troubles after returning from Prince Su's Mansion, their lives would still be ordinary, even better than before. She would become the confidant of the old lady, and even the Second Lady would have to give her some face in this mansion, and she would marry with a generous dowry in the future.

Unfortunately, all the dreams cannot come true now.

Since her dreams were shattered, why did she tell the Fourth Miss those things?

Jun Tao regretted it and simply sat on the ground like a rogue, without saying a word.

Zhuier was stunned, "Didn't you just say you confessed everything? What's your intention in doing this?"

Jun Tao snorted coldly, "Just now was just now, and now is now. I've thought about it. Anyway, I'm going to die. You still look down on servants who betray their masters, so why should I tell you about it? If I tell you, I'll be branded as a traitor. If I don't tell you, I can still get a good reputation for being loyal. Even if I ran away first, I just ran away and didn't tell the master's secret, so it's not considered disloyalty."

Zhuier was so angry that she rolled her eyes. This logic was really reasonable to her.

Ji Rong frowned and began to reflect on herself. If she hadn't said that just now, Jun Tao might have confessed everything, right? Now that she didn't say anything, didn't she delay her master's business?

So Ji Rong wanted to make amends. She asked Ye Wenyan, "Master, how about we fight? Even if he is tortured into confessing, he will still confess. Just beat him to death. He will confess when it hurts."

Jun Tao's fear deepened a little bit. She looked at Ye Wenyan again, but found that Ye Wenyan was just sitting there, looking at her without saying a word. She didn't know what he was thinking about.

After a while, Ye Wenyan shook his head and said, "You don't need to fight, and she doesn't need to tell me. I have my own way to know what I want to know. It's very simple, even simpler than what she can tell me herself."

She stood up and approached Jun Tao step by step. The fear of death instantly came over Jun Tao, causing her to tremble uncontrollably. She couldn't even say "what are you doing" when she wanted to ask Ye Wenyan because of fear.

Ye Wenyan quickly stood still. Jun Tao was still sitting on the ground. She looked down at her with an expressionless face.

Jun Tao watched Ye Wenyan stretch out a hand and gently cover her head, like an elder, looking down on her.

But that hand did not have the kindness of an elder at all. Instead, it became stronger and stronger, pressing harder and harder. She felt that her head was about to be crushed by that hand.

However, this feeling soon disappeared, replaced by chaos and confusion. Soon, there was another change, and her mind seemed to have its own consciousness and ideas. She began to recall everything that happened from the day she followed the old lady until she escaped from the Ye Mansion this morning. It was not a recollection, but it was like re-experiencing it. The speed was very fast. In just a few breaths, her clear thoughts returned to chaos.

Jun Tao was stunned. She sat on the ground blankly, looking here and there, and then started sucking her fingers.

Ye Wenyan withdrew his hand that was covering her head, but the ball of white light that appeared in his palm could not be stopped in time. After half a cup of tea, it gradually faded and finally disappeared.

Zhuier was stunned, and Jiduo was also surprised. Only Ji Rong was relatively calm. After all, she knew the most about the young master's background after going to Prince Su's mansion together that night.

Fortunately, Zhuier can make her own associations. As long as she traces the cause to the Emperor, she can find a reason for all the strange things that happened to her young lady. Jiduo was not too curious. He just thought that this mistress was the girl chosen by the Emperor. The Emperor must know her thoroughly. So no matter how strange the mistress was, it was none of his business. He just had to do his job.

Soul-searching technique, searching the soul, knowing everything, no matter how big or small, as long as she wants to know, even how many meals the soul-searched person has eaten in a day, how many sips of tea he has drunk, she can know clearly. Even if the soul-searched person has forgotten, she can find the forgotten part again. But after the spell, the soul-searched person becomes a fool, this is the domineering part of soul-searching technique.

She had never searched the souls of the Ye family before because she didn't want to suddenly create a fool and arouse suspicion. Also, some things are closely related to many people. If one person becomes a fool, some clues will be easily lost.

But since Jun Tao was able to run away and was abandoned by the old lady, it meant that she was an abandoned child, an independent individual with no important connection with other people. It didn't matter if such a person became a fool.

But she regretted it after searching, because she read the following message in Jun Tao's mind: On October 25, the old master passed away, and the family was busy with the funeral. The second master and the second lady came to test the old lady again, and they were still talking about the first master. The old lady hesitated several times before and never gave in. This time, she clearly told the second master that the head of this family should be you. Whoever stands in your way, just get rid of him. I will pretend that I didn't hear or see it. Don't come to me to say anything afterwards. I just hope you can get better, and I don't care about anything else.

Two days later, the general was gone. The old lady burned incense and paper all night, asking the general not to blame her. It wasn't that she was cruel, it was that the general knew something he shouldn't know, and as a mother, it was too shameful for her son to find out about it. She couldn't face her son, and couldn't bring herself to kill him. It just so happened that her second son had this idea, so she indulged and encouraged him to do it.
