After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

Chapter 194 Interrogation

"Poisoned?"

Yan Qing asked in bewilderment, "Mother...how could she be poisoned again?"

My mother is unconscious, who would poison her? Or Xi Zhou... Wait!

Yan Qing suddenly thought of someone.

She suddenly looked up at Gu Huaizhou: "Chu Tianhe?"

Gu Huaizhou's face also turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Li Ying!"

Li Ying's figure appeared instantly.

The man's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "No matter the cost, capture Chu Tianhe for me!"

"You want to arrest me? Just you?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.

Several people turned around subconsciously and saw Chu Tianhe and his men appear in the yard.

Li Ying shot out like a sharp sword.

"clang!"

The sound of weapons clashing was heard suddenly, and the two figures in the yard separated immediately.

It was Barlow who stopped Li Ying.

Chu Tianhe waved his hand, and several figures dressed in Western Zhou Dynasty costumes suddenly appeared in the yard, their eyes cold and dead.

You can tell at first glance that he is a death warrior.

Gu Huaizhou narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that he had underestimated Chu Tianhe.

Chu Tianhe, however, glared at Gu Huaizhou with disdain, his voice cold and arrogant: "Do you really think I came to Yong alone? Gu Huaizhou, if Qingqing didn't like you, you would be a corpse right now."

"Is it?"

Gu Huaizhou took a few steps forward, his cold eyes sweeping over the assassins behind Chu Tianhe: "Does the King of Chu think that he can kill me with just these people?"

"Of course!"

Chu Tianhe snorted coldly: "If the Fourth Prince doesn't believe it, why not give it a try?"

Their eyes met, filled with murderous intent.

Gu Huaizhou was about to take action immediately.

Yan Qing suddenly grabbed him.

She walked out of the house, her pretty face tense. She looked at Chu Tianhe coldly and asked, "Did you poison my mother?"

Facing Gu Huaizhou's cold and arrogant king, and now facing his daughter's cold little face, he felt a little flustered.

Chu Tianhe looked behind Yan Qing.

When he saw the pale woman soaking in a wooden barrel in the house, certain scenes from twenty years ago immediately flooded into his mind.

Chu Tianhe's face turned red.

"cough……"

He turned his gaze away from Ye Xiruo and explained to Yan Qing, "Although I don't like that woman...your mother, I wouldn't poison her. If I wanted to kill her, I wouldn't have used the secret medicine to temporarily save her life."

Yan Qing didn't say anything.

Chu Tianhe became more and more panicked.

"Really, Qingqing, please believe me. I didn't poison your mother!"

"That's right, my emperor never uses poison to kill people."

Lord Wen stroked his beard and said.

Barro also nodded: "Your Majesty always kills people by lingchi, dismemberment, and the execution of all nine generations of his family. He never uses simple methods like poisoning to kill people."

Chu Tianhe glared at Barlow fiercely.

Don’t talk if you can’t!

He walked over to Yan Qing and said flatteringly, "Qingqing, don't listen to them. I killed those who deserved to be killed. I have never killed an innocent person, and I will never deal with your mother."

Yan Qing finally looked at him and said, "I understand."

Chu Tianhe: “?”

that's it?

He thought he would have to spend a lot of time to persuade his daughter, but she didn't cry, make a fuss or get angry. She just looked at him calmly?

Seems a little unnaturally calm?

Yan Qing didn't care what Chu Tianhe thought. After listening to Chu Tianhe's explanation, she turned to look at Wu Mang and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Wu, have you caught the person who poisoned my mother?"

It’s not that she trusts Chu Tianhe that much.

But she knew that what Chu Tianhe said was the truth. If he wanted to attack her mother, she would not have saved her back then.

But the poison came from the Western Zhou Dynasty, so it was definitely related to him.

The most urgent task is to catch the person who poisoned my mother. Since my mother was poisoned in the Fourth Prince's mansion, the poisoner must still be there. As long as the poisoner is caught, we can find out who is trying to harm my mother!

Wu Mang shook his head. "The Madam was already poisoned when we found her, but I've already told the housekeeper that no one can leave the mansion today. Except for your maid, Luzhi, no one will leave the Fourth Prince's mansion today."

Yan Qing looked at Gu Huaizhou.

Gu Huaizhou immediately ordered: "Laifu, call all the servants in the mansion over."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Lai Fu immediately went downstairs to call for help.

In just a moment, all the servants of the Fourth Prince's Mansion gathered in the yard.

Yan Qing looked at the dozens of servants and maids standing with their heads bowed. She coldly ordered, "Anyone who has been in this yard today, stand up."

The servants looked at each other, and none of them moved for a moment.

Gu Huaizhou said in a deep voice: "Come here, drag everyone away and give them twenty lashes. If anyone conceals anything, they will be beaten to death!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Seeing the guards from the prince's palace appear with wooden sticks, the servants immediately knelt down like dumplings, crying and begging for mercy: "Your Highness, spare my life!"

"I know who has been to this yard..."

"I know that too, I say!"

"It's Xiao Tao!"

Under Gu Huaizhou's threat, without any interrogation, some people had already confessed all the people who had come to the yard today.

There were three maids and two servants in total.

Yan Qing's eyes swept across the faces of the three maids. These three were all selected by her personally. They all had good family backgrounds and good character, which was why she arranged them to take care of her mother personally.

Yan Qing asked them one by one.

The three maids answered haltingly, but it was no big deal.

Yan Qing looked at the remaining two servants again.

"Why haven't I seen you before?"

Yan Qing looked at one of the servants, his eyes slightly cold: "You are not from the Four Emperors' Palace!"

The boy was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop.

"It's not me! It's not me!"

The servant kept crawling towards Yan Qing: "Princess, I didn't do anything. I just came in to water the flowers and weed the garden. I didn't do anything!"

"beat!"

Gu Huaizhou directly ordered the execution.

The servant turned pale with fear and was soon put on a wooden stool by the guards and started beating.

"It's unfair..."

The servant cried and begged for mercy.

But Gu Huaizhou did not call for a stop, and the guards did not dare to stop. The dull sound of the wooden stick hitting the buttocks echoed throughout the courtyard.

The other maids and servants were trembling with fear.

I’m afraid that I’ll be the next one.

Gu Huaizhou didn't order his men to let him go until the servant was about to faint from the pain.

Yan Qing did not stop Gu Huaizhou.

Since it was her mother's life that was at stake, she showed no mercy.

After the guards left, she walked up to the servant and asked again, "Besides watering and weeding, have you done anything else in the yard?"

"no no……"

The servant was dying.

At this time, the butler stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Princess, this bastard is a distant relative of the accountant's family. He appeared in the Fourth Prince's residence today because he was acting as the accountant's son's assistant."

After the butler finished speaking, he had three people dragged in.

It was the accountant and his family of three.

One of the young men was beaten black and blue. Seeing Gu Huaizhou, he was immediately scared and pissed himself. "Your Highness, I was just itching to do it, so I asked my cousin to do my work for a day. I swear I never poisoned Madam Ye. Your Highness, please understand!"
