The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

The dungeon was filled with the smell of blood and decay.

Eunuch Pan frowned slightly, but did not show too much discomfort.

He walked up to a prisoner who was tied up. When the prisoner raised his head and saw the person in front of him, his eyes began to avoid.

"Humph, even at this point, you still refuse to confess?"

Eunuch Pan flicked his whisk and raised his index finger.

The prisoner had a dull look in his eyes and hung his head, but he didn't say a word.

"Jie Jie"

Eunuch Pan laughed shrilly.

"I've been in this palace for many years, and I've seen all kinds of tough guys. Today, I'll show you what it means to be unable to live or die."

After that, he pulled out a small bottle from his sleeve, poured out a black pill, and forced it into the prisoner's mouth.

"This is our family's secret medicine. In a moment, you will feel the pain of a thousand ants gnawing at your heart. If you don't want to endure this torture, just confess honestly."

The prisoner's face instantly became distorted and he rolled on the ground in pain.

Eunuch Pan didn't care about him either.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

He laughed a few more times and looked at the other prisoner.

"Okay, okay, you have some backbone. Try our black balls. Don't say a word. Don't forget that a secret guard cannot betray his master."

When he came to the last person, Eunuch Pan looked at him for a long time and then touched him.

Finally, he pulled out another medicine bottle from his sleeve, which contained red pills.

"Come on, open your mouth."

Eunuch Pan pinched his jaw and put a red pill into his mouth.

After doing all this, Eunuch Pan turned and looked at Sheng Wu.

"Someone, come here! Bring all the torture instruments up here! And give them one more try. As for the confession, I don't think we need to interrogate them. This is the only one who will confess."

As he said this, he kicked the prisoner who took the red pill.

Soon, guards came with various torture instruments to continue to torture several prisoners, and the screams of the prisoners were heard again in the dungeon.

Sheng Wu followed Eunuch Pan out, asking anxiously.

"Eunuch Pan, are you leaving now? Those prisoners haven't confessed anything yet."

"Master Sheng Wu, don't expect them to confess. Three of the four of them are from the palace secret guard camp.

These people are very stubborn and won't utter a word even if tortured to death. My family has been in the palace for so many years, and I can still see this."

Eunuch Pan said in a sinister tone.

Sheng Wu frowned, looking unwilling.

"Are we just going to let them go like this? If we don't investigate the conspiracy behind this, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles!"

Eunuch Pan stopped and glanced at Sheng Wu.

"Master Sheng Wu, don't be anxious. Just because these few people don't say anything doesn't mean the last one won't say anything.

So what if they came from the Palace Secret Guard? We will find clues elsewhere."

Sheng Wu's expression eased slightly.

"Then I'll trouble you to take care of it. However, this matter is of great importance. I hope you can make a breakthrough as soon as possible."

Eunuch Pan nodded and shook the whisk in his hand.

"Master Sheng Wu, please come back to the palace with me! You only need to interrogate the one who ate the red pill. As for the other three, they will get what they want, and they will die as they please!"

Sheng Wu scratched his head and said with a frown.

"Please wait a moment, eunuch. I will inform my brothers that the prince's wedding is imminent. We cannot let those people die in the palace. At least they must die far away."

"Hehehe, hurry up and don't delay too long."

Eunuch Pan flicked his whisk and closed his eyes to meditate in the pavilion nearby.

Sheng Wu bowed, turned around and walked towards the dungeon, and soon ran out in a hurry.

"Father-in-law, let's go."

Eunuch Pan flicked his whisk and took the lead to walk out of the mansion.

"It seems that the Prince Regent attaches great importance to this soon-to-be-married princess! We are in for a treat this time."

Sheng Wu hesitated several times to speak, and Eunuch Pan saw this and said coldly:

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate."

Sheng Wu spoke cautiously.

"Eunuch, you can see that the prince values this princess. This time someone tried to assassinate the princess, and the prince..."

Eunuch Pan interrupted him.

"We will talk to the prince, just do your part."

Sheng Wu quickly responded.

The two of them quickly returned to the palace in the royal carriage.

Eunuch Pan went straight to the imperial study, while Sheng Wuze stood outside the study with the imperial guards.

In the imperial study, Eunuch Pan bowed and reported to the prince.

"Your Highness, I've been to Prince Sheng's Mansion and have an idea of who sent them."

Regent Chu Musheng stood up from behind the desk.

"Manager Pan, please sit down and talk."

Chu Musheng respected Eunuch Pan very much and ordered the eunuch to bring him tea.

After thanking him, Eunuch Pan sat on a chair nearby.

"Your Highness, the person who broke into the Xu family and attempted assassination this time was Princess Jianning's secret guard."

Chu Musheng was shocked when he heard this.

He had previously filtered all the royal family members in his mind, but did not suspect Princess Jianning.

Although he had heard of Princess Jianning's arrogant and moody temperament.

But Princess Jianning and he were siblings from the same mother, and his role as regent was also a reason why Princess Jianning's status was more noble than other princesses.

It was her? Why did she want to assassinate my princess?

Chu Musheng was puzzled. Could it be that it was because Miss Xu had beaten someone in her house?

Eunuch Pan took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

"Your Highness, three of the four prisoners in the dungeon were secret guards assigned to Princess Jianning years ago.

We have a register and records at home for Your Highness to check.

As for the other one, we guess that he is a master invited by Princess Jianning from the martial arts world.

We have already fed him the magic pill, but it will not work for the secret guards.

Others will only lose their minds after eating it, and will answer truthfully any question asked to them.

I guess the prince's men have already learned something from the interrogation."

After listening to this, Chu Musheng looked at Eunuch Pan sincerely.

"Butler Pan, thank you so much for helping me find out the truth. I am deeply grateful."

Eunuch Pan quickly stood up and said respectfully:

"Your Highness is too kind. Serving the royal family is our family's duty."

Chu Musheng nodded slightly.

"Master Pan, you've worked hard. Go back and get some rest! I've sent you a pair of flawless Hetian jade ruyi. They're not particularly rare, but they're a token of my appreciation."

Eunuch Pan bowed.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am deeply grateful. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Eunuch Pan slowly took a few steps back, turned around and left, leaving Chu Musheng alone in the room in deep thought.

Chu Mucheng has always been calm in dealing with things, even though he had already learned that it was Princess Jianning who wanted to take ruthless action against Miss Xu.

But he still sat calmly behind the side desk in the imperial study.

He was waiting, waiting for his men to collect more charges.

Yes, even though they were his biological sister from the same mother, Regent Chu Musheng had no intention of letting her go.

The men from Prince Sheng's mansion had not arrived yet, but Eunuch Otomo walked in.

"Your Highness, Princess Jianning has entered the palace and gone to the Empress Dowager's bedroom."

Chu Musheng sneered.

"Is she afraid now?"
