Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 84 Assassin's Interrogation Results

A few days later, Li Chu and Li Ruo had been in Yunnan for about 10 days and were reluctant to return. It was only when they received a letter from Chang'an that they finally decided to return.

Finally, it was scheduled to depart three days later. The Marquis of Zhennan and the King of Yunnan were fine, but the wife of the Marquis of Zhennan, the three children of the Marquis's Mansion, and the two sisters of the Dugu family were reluctant to leave.

Because they were reluctant to leave, the children gathered together two days before departure. However, after the previous assassination attempt, they decided not to go to the suburbs this time. Instead, they agreed to have dinner at Yuelai Pavilion, stroll through the city streets, and buy some local specialties to bring back to Chang'an.

Even if they didn't buy it, it wouldn't matter, because the wife of the Zhennan Marquis was busy in the mansion preparing things for the brother and sister's return trip, as well as some things for her sister, the Crown Princess, her brother-in-law, the Crown Prince, and other members of the royal family. The things prepared by the wife of the Zhennan Marquis alone would fill two carriages...

The day before departure, several people came to the private room of Yuelai Pavilion for a small gathering. When the people from the Marquis' Mansion arrived, Dugu Jingyao, Dugu Jingyue and Dugu Moyan had already arrived.

Chu Xinghan saw that the Dugu brothers and sisters had already arrived and said, "Wow, you're here really early! I thought we were already out early!" Dugu Moyan went to the door to welcome them in and said, "We just arrived not long ago too. We had just sat down when you guys showed up."

According to the status division, they originally wanted Li Chu and Li Ruo to sit in the main seat, but Li Chu said: "We are all family, there is no need to care about these things." Li Ruo also nodded and agreed: "That's right, that's right, in Yunnan, the host should sit at the main seat, and the two of us are guests, hehe." So in the end Dugu Moyan was pushed to the main seat, because this Yuelai Pavilion was opened by his family, and the meal was on his account, so the person who invited the guests should naturally sit at the main seat.

To Dugu Moyan's left were Dugu Jingyao, Li Ruo, and Li Chu, and to his right were Dugu Jingyue, Chu Xinyu, Chu Xinghan, and Chu Xingchen. They discussed the Li siblings' amusing experiences in Chang'an, then the two in Yunnan Prefecture. Finally, Dugu Moyan suddenly remembered something he needed to explain to Li Chu and Li Ruo before they left.

Dugu Moyan suddenly said seriously, "By the way, Your Highness, there is something I need to tell you." Li Chu asked doubtfully, "What is it, Brother Dugu?"

Dugu Mo said, "It's related to the previous assassination in the suburbs." Everyone present paused at this. Yes, they had almost forgotten about this incident. But Li Chu still remembered that he had asked Feng Shengyi to secretly gather clues, but the clues were few and far between. He thought the person behind this was well hidden. Now he understood that it was simply because his influence in Yunnan was insufficient.

Dugu Moyan noticed the atmosphere suddenly cooled, so he said in a storytelling tone, "You don't know, at the beginning, the assassin who was captured was really stubborn. Under torture, he would rather bite his tongue to commit suicide than speak."

Li Ruo interrupted him and asked curiously, "So, did he tell her later?" Dugu Moyan nodded and said, "Of course he did." Li Chu was also curious, so he asked, "Why did he finally open up?" Dugu Moyan smiled mysteriously and said, "You don't know, it must be that our military doctor has a trick. He used a few acupuncture points, and that guy was so scared that he pissed himself, and he confessed immediately!"

Chu Xingchen was shocked and said, "So powerful!" Dugu Moyan said, "That's right. It's the first time I've seen it, but fortunately the result is good." Li Chu asked, "So who is behind them?"

Dugu Moyan said, "He's actually just a small fry. He doesn't know the details, but he revealed their hideout and their leader. We followed the clues and found out that it was actually someone sent from Chang'an City to assassinate them!" Chu Xinghan also asked with concern, "Cousin, did you offend someone?"

After hearing Dugu Moyan's words, Li Chu pondered: If there is a grudge, it is Mrs. Zhang, because of her previous incident of framing my mother? Then there are Xiao Liangdi and Li Xi. If I am gone, and Neng'er is still young, he is the most suitable candidate to succeed my father. But no matter who it is, I will not let them go!
