The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 331 Why does the Marquis trust Lord Chu?

The woman in the sky prison was begging for death under torture.

There wasn't a single intact piece of skin on her body...

The methods used by the cruel officials in the Ministry of Justice were indeed well-deserved, but she just couldn't die.

For her, these two unfamiliar people in front of her are her only hope.

However, Chu He remained unmoved by her sad plea.

Seeing this, the woman crawled to Mei Zhou's feet with difficulty and grabbed his ankles with trembling hands, frightening him so much that he stepped back repeatedly. He looked up at Chu He in confusion: "Sir...this..."

The woman raised her head with great difficulty, her eyes so swollen that she could barely open them. "Please, sir, please let me die. I will be your slave in my next life to repay your kindness."

"Can someone like you still have an afterlife?" Chu He looked at her coldly.

"I just want to avenge my elder sister. Am I wrong? Just because I am a lowly commoner and cannot defeat the royal family, do I have to live a life worse than death under your hands?" The woman's voice was hoarse.

Chu He looked at her and said, "Do you think the Ministry of Justice has only been interrogating you harshly these days? Yu Liu'er, your slander against Prince Ning has been proven, so stop pretending."

As soon as the three words "Yu Liu'er" came out, the woman trembled all over.

Chu He continued, "You were originally from Puyang County outside the capital. Three years ago, you were chosen by your adoptive family to be a skinny horse and carefully trained. Ten days ago, your adoptive family was killed, and you were sent to the capital and placed among the dancers. Because you were all carefully trained skinny horses, you had no personal relationship with each other except for rehearsals, so you were able to sneak into the palace, is that so?" Yu Liuer's face was pale, but the more terrifying things were not over yet.

"But Yu Liu'er was the name your adoptive family gave you. Your real name is Liu Yu, and both your parents are still alive. You don't have an older sister, only an eight-year-old brother. Your story about your older sister being bullied by Prince Ning is completely unfounded."

Yu Liuer felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar: "This... these are all from the Ministry of Justice..."

"Yes, this is all information that has been verified by the Ministry of Justice and has been presented to Your Majesty."

"Then...why haven't you killed me yet? Why are you still torturing me?"

"Of course I want to know who is behind this. How could His Majesty allow someone to murder his son?"

Yu Liu'er collapsed to the ground dejectedly again: "Please, my lord, I have committed a grave sin by slandering Prince Ning. Please, let me die..."

Chu He looked at her and said, "Tell me who is behind this, and you will get what you want."

"I can't say... I can't say..." The woman trembled all over. "My adoptive father has been killed by her. If I tell the truth, my mother, my father, and my brother will all die like my adoptive father, with their bodies torn to pieces..."

"In that case." Chu He turned and glanced at Mei Zhou: "Give her the ginseng soup."

"No! No!" The woman cried miserably.

Although Mei Zhou felt reluctant, he did not dare to disobey Chu He's orders.

He squatted down, turned Yu Liuer's head over, and wanted to pour the ginseng soup into her mouth.

Yu Liuer struggled with all her strength.

She knew that once she drank this bowl of ginseng soup, she would be dragged to the torture bench again within half a day and tortured until she breathed her last.

Chu He looked at her coldly: "The thing the palace has the most is things that can keep people alive. Even if you push this bowl of ginseng soup away, there are still five bowls waiting for you outside the door. Instead of struggling in vain, it's better to save some energy."

After he finished speaking, Yu Liuer's arms drooped down and he gave up struggling.

Mei Zhou waited for an opportunity to pour all the ginseng soup into her mouth.

The medicine entered the stomach and penetrated into every part of the body, making the pain after the torture even more obvious.

She lay on the cold ground in despair.

I want to die, but I can't.

This is probably a tragic thing in the world.

……

Chu He took Mei Zhou out of the prison, and it was already dark.

After returning to the barracks, Chu He stopped in front of his room door. He turned and looked at Mei Zhou: "I don't need anyone to serve me here, you can go back first." "Yes."

After Mei Zhou left, Chu He turned and entered the room. There was no light in the room.

He looked into the dark corner and said, "Come out."

From the shadows, a man dressed as a guard stepped out. "I am Xiao Qi, a subordinate, and I am here to deliver medicine to you, Lord Marquis, on his orders."

Xiao Qi finished speaking and took out a bottle of medicine.

This was exactly the medicine that Shu Qing had given him earlier.

Xiao Qi came here not only to deliver medicine, but also to reveal his identity to Chu He through the act of delivering medicine.

Chu He took the medicine bottle, played with it in his hands for a moment, and asked, "How many people like you are there in the Imperial Guard?"

He wanted to know how many more people Mu Rong had planted in the imperial guards.

Xiao Qi replied, "It's just me."

Chu He looked at him. "Mu Rong asked you to come just to bring me medicine?" Xiao Qi continued, "The Marquis also asked me to ask you if there has been any progress in the prison... and if I need your help."

"No need, she's just a woman." Chu He said calmly, "Let him wait for news."

Xiao Qi responded, "Yes."

Then he added, "I am working in the inner palace. You can always give me instructions if you have anything."

"I understand. You can leave first." Chu He turned and went into the inner room.

"Yes!" Xiao Qi was about to turn around and leave.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard a cold voice behind him: "From now on, no one is allowed to sneak into my room without my order, even if you are his!"

……

The news from the palace spread that evening. When Xiao Qi arrived to deliver the letter, Mu Rong was in his room recuperating. After receiving the news, Mu Yi told him to return to the palace first, then looked towards the study with a complicated expression.

These past few days, every time the Marquis came back after meeting the eldest lady, he would meditate for a long time.

really……

Women can easily make people weak.

Half a minute later, the door of Mu Rong's study opened: "Come in."

Mu Yi then relayed the palace's truthful message: "Mu Qi said that Lord Chu has been in the prison for a full hour today, but he hasn't shared any updates. Mu Qi would like to ask if it's necessary to sneak into the prison to investigate."

"No need for that. Let Chu He handle Yu Liu'er's affairs." Mu Rong said calmly, "Let Mu Qi wait for his news."

"Why... do I trust Lord Chu so much?" When Chu He was just a guard at the Xu Mansion, the Marquis clearly regarded him as an enemy. Why did he now even let him get involved in helping Prince Ning?

Although the Marquis did not say it explicitly, who could fail to see his secret deployments if they knew the details?

"There's no absolute trust between him and me," Mu Rong said calmly, "we just have a common goal."

For him and Chu He, having lived two lives, they now have only two goals:

First, to protect Xu Rongrong's peace;

Second, it will make it impossible for Wu Tianqi to turn things around.
