The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

"Then..." Pearl poked her head out, "Princess, where do you think those people started?"

"Arsenic is not an ordinary poison," Lin Wanqing pondered. "It's not easy to get it. We can start from other places."

"Somewhere else?" Pearl looked at her doubtfully. "What does the princess mean?"

"We can go to the pharmacy and check," Lin Wanqing said. "The pharmacy must have records of poisons like arsenic. As long as we find out who bought it, we can find the mastermind behind it!"

"That's right!" Pearl's eyes lit up, "The princess is really smart!"

"Okay, stop flattering me," Lin Wanqing rolled her eyes at her. "This matter isn't over yet, we can't take it lightly."

"Yes, I understand." Pei'er nodded.

"Send someone to check which pharmacies in Beijing sell arsenic, and bring all the records back to me!" Lin Wanqing said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Pei'er took the order and left.

Lin Wanqing stood in the yard, looking at the sky in the distance.

This matter will definitely not end so easily!

She wanted to see what the mastermind behind this was trying to do!

Not long after, Pearl came back with a thick stack of papers in her hand.

"Princess, this is the record of all the pharmacies in the capital," Pei'er said, "Please take a look."

Lin Wanqing took the record and began to flip through it page by page.

Arsenic is a poison that ordinary people cannot buy. It must be purchased with a prescription from a doctor.

She just didn't believe that she couldn't find any clues!

Time passed minute by minute, and Lin Wanqing's eyes were fixed on the records, unwilling to miss any details.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she found several suspicious names.

These people bought arsenic in large quantities at different pharmacies.

A hint of coldness flashed in Lin Wanqing's eyes.

"Pei'er, take these names and check to see who these people are and what their connection is to the palace." Lin Wanqing handed the records to Pei'er.

"Yes." Pei'er took the order and left.

Lin Wanqing stood there, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

She wanted to see who sent these people!

Not long after, Pearl came back.

"Princess, these people are ordinary people and have never had any contact with the palace." Pei'er said.

"No contact?" Lin Wanqing frowned. "Are you sure?"

"I am sure," Pei'er nodded. "I have checked carefully. These people are ordinary people. There is nothing suspicious about them."

"No," Lin Wanqing shook her head, "There must be something wrong with these people. Send someone to control them. This princess will personally interrogate them!"

"Yes!" Pei'er took the order and left.

Lin Wanqing stood there, looking at the records in his hand.

Who are these people?

What is their purpose behind this?

She must get to the bottom of this matter!

Not long after, Pei'er came back to report.

"Princess, those people have been arrested and are being held in the woodshed," Pei'er said.

"Well, let's go and take a look." Lin Wanqing nodded and walked towards the woodshed.

In the woodshed, those people were tied up and gagged, their faces full of fear.

Lin Wanqing glanced at them coldly, then sat down on the chair.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Lin Wanqing asked in a deep voice.

Those people stared with their eyes wide open, unable to utter a word.

"This princess knows that you are being instigated by someone," Lin Wanqing continued, "If you don't speak, this princess has plenty of ways to make you speak."

Those people still said nothing, just kept shaking their heads.

Lin Wanqing narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous light flashed in them.

She reached out and pinched someone's chin, her tone cold: "I will count to three. If you don't speak up, I will have your legs broken!"

Those people were trembling with fear, but they still kept their mouths tightly shut.

"One... two..." Lin Wanqing's voice was cold.

"I'll tell you!" One of them finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore and shouted, "Princess, spare me! I'll tell you!"

Lin Wanqing let go of his hand and looked at him coldly: "Tell me! Who ordered you to do this?"

The man took a few breaths and then said, "We guys really don't know."

"I don't know?" Lin Wanqing frowned. "Why did you buy arsenic?"

"It's... to poison rats." the man said.

"Poison rats?" Lin Wanqing narrowed his eyes. "You need to use arsenic to poison rats?"

"This..." The man was speechless.

"How dare you lie!" Lin Wanqing shouted, "You clearly want to poison this princess, why don't you tell the truth!"

Those people began to tremble again, but still couldn't explain why.

Lin Wanqing looked at them, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind.

These people don't look like well-trained assassins. Who are they?

"You better think it over carefully," Lin Wanqing said in an icy voice. "If you don't tell the truth, I will send you to the government and torture you to death!"

When those people heard this, they turned pale with fear, but they still gritted their teeth and didn't say a word.

Lin Wanqing looked at the scene in front of him, and anger rose in his heart.

She had to find a way to get them to talk!

"Someone come here!" Lin Wanqing shouted in a deep voice.

The guard outside the door immediately walked in: "What do you want, Princess?"

"Go prepare some silver needles and candles," Lin Wanqing said, "This princess wants to interrogate these people personally!"

The guard took the order and left, and came back not long after with a silver needle and a candle in his hand.

Lin Wanqing took the silver needles and walked up to those people: "This princess will give you one more chance. If you don't tell the truth, this princess will use these silver needles to poke a hundred holes in your bodies!"

When those people heard Lin Wanqing's words, they were so frightened that they trembled all over, but still did not speak.

Lin Wanqing didn't waste any time and directly picked up the silver needle and pierced one of the men's arm.

The man let out a scream and his body began to tremble violently.

Lin Wanqing had no expression on her face as she continued inserting needles.

Before long, the man's body was covered with dense holes and blood was flowing continuously.

When the others saw this scene, they turned pale with fright, but still remained silent.

Lin Wanqing frowned. She didn't expect these people to be so stubborn.

"Come here, drag them all out and give them a severe beating!" Lin Wanqing said in a deep voice.

The guards took orders and dragged those people out.

"Please spare us, Princess! Please spare us!" Those people finally couldn't bear the pressure and began to beg for mercy.

Lin Wanqing looked at them coldly, without a trace of emotion on her face: "You're begging for mercy now? It's too late!"

She waved her hand, signaling the guards to continue.

Those people were dragged into the yard, and their screams and pleas were heard everywhere.

Not long after, the guards came in: "Princess, those people have been knocked unconscious."
