Traveling through the worlds, my husband comes here to smell the scent

When Si Jin came in, he saw Zhang Xuepian coldly saying that he didn't care about this scene, and he looked away.

"Your Highness, someone has been sent from the mountain stronghold. It should be the third in command," Si Jin reported to Chu Yuxiao.

"Detain the man and feed him truth serum"

"Yes," Si Jin accepted the order and went down.

As the name suggests, people who take this drug will answer whatever they are asked. When they wake up, they will not know what happened.

Chu Yuxiao glanced at Zhang Xuepian lying on the ground, left the room, and asked Song Shuhuan to send someone to guard her.

Lu Heng was blindfolded with a black cloth at this time. He was knocked unconscious as soon as he entered Zhang's house. Realizing that someone was coming in front of him, he anxiously and angrily said, "Who are you? Where is Zhang Yuan?"

Si Jin didn't say anything, but used his eyes to signal the person next to him to drink the medicine.

The guard understood and pinched Lu Heng's mouth open, pouring the medicine directly into his mouth.

"What did you feed me?"

Lü Heng was tied to a chair with his hands and feet unable to move. He struggled hard and tried to vomit out the medicine, but it was no use.

Lu Heng gradually calmed down. Seeing this, Si Jin asked

"May I have your name"

"Lü Heng"

The words are slow but clear, I think the medicine is taking effect

Si Jin glanced at Xuan Bing, Xuan Bing nodded, began to ask, and took out a pen and paper to start recording

“How many people are there in your village?”

"Six hundred and ninety"

“There are several ways to get up there.”

"There are three: East, West, and North."

"Is there a secret passage leading out? Where does it lead to?"

"Yes, the secret passage is in my eldest brother's room, leading to the bottom of the cliff to the south. My eldest brother said that there is no one living under the cliff, so even if something happens and we escape, we will have a great chance of success."

"Besides Magistrate Zhang, which other officials did he collude with?"

"Chief Clerk and County Lieutenant"

…………

After the questioning, Xuan Bing filled a piece of paper with notes. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. With this piece of paper, they can know exactly which road is guarded by which people, how many men, women, young and old there are.

Xuan Bing also found a blueprint of a copycat in Zhang Yuan's room, but he thought it was useless because half of the information on it was different from what Lu Heng said.

After questioning him, he was locked up in the woodshed and sent to guard him.

After Si Jin and Xuan Bing returned to the room, they showed Chu Yuxiao and Si Yan what Xuan Bing had recorded.

Si Yan slammed the table in anger

"It's outrageous that five high-ranking officials colluded with three of them."

No wonder the bandits here have never been solved.

"Go and invite the remaining four people tomorrow and tell them that it was Zhang Yuan's order." Chu Yuxiao looked at the information recorded on Xuanbing and ordered.

"Yes" Song Shuhuan accepted the order

"Xuan Bing, you come with us. If anyone refuses to come, tie them up and bring them here."

Even if Lu Heng said something after taking the truth serum, he still had to keep a hand. At least before those people entered Zhang's house, he couldn't tell them that the people above had come and were in Zhang's house.

"Yes" Xuan Bing accepted the order

After everyone left, Chu Yuxiao stared at the two maps on the table and looked at them over and over again. Chu Yuxiao's eyes darkened. Is this map really fake?

Why does Zhang Yuan have this picture?

Chu Yuxiao rubbed his temples and decided to wait and see when someone arrived tomorrow. For now, he would rest first.

Because there were people guarding me outside, I slept a little more peacefully than when I was in the inn. But instinctively, I would wake up at the slightest movement.

Royal Palace

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened, something bad has happened," the chief eunuch came in in a panic and reported.

"Why are you so flustered? It's so disgraceful!" Chu Yi frowned and scolded

"Your Majesty..." Fu Chang hesitated. This was a very serious matter. It wasn't just an ordinary person who died, but the little princess that the emperor loved.

"Speak." Chu Yi saw him hesitating and unable to speak, so he slapped the table.

"The princess... the princess drowned in the deep pool of Yunlian Palace..." Fu Chang finished speaking and immediately lowered his head to wait for his fate.

"Natila?" Chu Yi realized that there was only one princess in the capital, and that was Natila.

Yunlian Palace is next to Fuqing Palace, where several low-ranking ladies live. They have given up the hope of ascending to a high position in this deep palace.

I just want to live in peace and security. Although my position is low, I won’t have any food spoilage. I eat as usual. Therefore, I often stay in my own courtyard and don’t go out.

The people who were discovered now were the maids around these ladies.

"Go to Yunlian Palace" Chu Yi stood up anxiously, causing him to cough directly

Wuten Natila's parents died early. The reason why Chu Yi doted on Wuten Natila was not because of Su Ran, but because of Su Yiwen.

Su Yiwen had a good opinion of Wuten Natila's parents before his death, so Chu Yi always remembered

When I met Uten Natila, I liked her because she was smart and cute.

Arrived at Yunlian Palace

Everyone saluted Chu Yi

The eunuchs and palace maids were waiting tremblingly, especially those in the Uten Natila Palace, as if the sky was about to fall.

"Everyone in the Princess's Palace stays here, and the rest leave," Fu Chang said sternly, looking at the group of people.

"Yes" The people in Yunlian Palace breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. They didn't want to risk their lives on this. Now they can leave. It's great.

Before the people in Yunlian Palace could breathe a sigh of relief

Fu Chang said again

"Wait, don't leave yet, stay and tell me what happened."

Looking at the three or four palace maids and several young eunuchs leaving, Fu Chang ordered

"Yes"

The maids and eunuchs knelt down before Chu Yi. One of the maids nervously reported the situation.

"This morning, a few of us went to get some food for the young master. It was still dark when we left, and it was already daybreak when we returned. As soon as we got back, we saw a corpse floating on the water..."

"Yes, when I arrived, they were terrified. After we fished out the body, we discovered it was... the princess, and we quickly reported it to Eunuch Fuchang."

Chu Yi frowned, looking at the corpse on the ground, with its face covered with a white cloth. The clothes were indeed what Wuten Natila usually wore. Chu Yi suddenly felt depressed. He had not had time to marry Wuten Natila to a good family.

Why did this child go first?

In fact, Chu Yi has always understood that Wuten Natila is an unconfident child. Although she always appears to be arrogant, she still occasionally reveals her inferiority in her bones.

Chu Yi thought it was a little funny at that time. He had never experienced such emotions in someone who was favored by the emperor.

But Chu Yi didn't say anything. He just kept an eye out for good young talents for her over the years, so that she would have a good place to go even after he passed away.

But he didn't expect that the child would be gone just like that. Yesterday, after he watched the play for a long time and left, he went to the child's palace.

I found her lying on the bed with a bad face, without saying a word.

Chu Yi asked her questions, and she just said it was okay. When Chu Yi was leaving, Wu Teng Natila suddenly called him.

"Uncle..."

"What's wrong? Natila is reluctant to leave me now." Chu Yi looked at the pitiful Wuten Natila and said with a smile.

Who knew that the gentler he was, the worse Uten Natila's mood became.

Wuten Natila ran out of bed barefoot and threw herself into Chu Yi's arms.

"Uncle... Natila... I'm sorry." She burst into tears and stepped back in order not to rub against Chu Yi's clothes.

"Why are you crying? If you have anything, tell me." Chu Yi sighed. The child had grown up, and he could no longer understand what she was thinking.

I just feel that in recent years, her temperament has become more and more sensitive. Later, no matter what Chu Yi asked, she just shook her head and cried.

Chu Yi shook hands and came back to his senses, his heart aching even more, and said sternly

"Who is the head of the Princess's Palace?"
