Chapter 1836: Chapter 1833: Interrogation
Openly using the other partyâs people as free guards, a good opportunity to take advantage should not be missed.
Perhaps itâs Lu Sangqiâs gentle attitude, which makes the Elder Princess respond to him with some warmth.
âBy the way, Your Highness, regarding the Southern Border medical book we mentioned last time, do inform me when you find it.â Lu Sangqi thought of the medicine the Southern Border Witch Doctor used on Ye Muyu, his eyes narrowing slightly, realizing that the medical skills from the Southern Border indeed needed thorough research. Perhaps it might be useful in the future, at the very least, he could devise preventive medicine.
The Elder Princess, seeing his straightforward request, thought of the Young Princeâs condition and was in a good mood after all. Adding to it the previous punishment the Commandery Prince inflicted on Lu Sangqi, she didnât hesitate much and nodded in agreement.
âRest assured, I will try my best to collect them.â The Elder Princess nodded and said.
âDoes Doctor Lu have any thoughts on the Young Princeâs health?â
When it came to serious matters, Lu Sangqi also became earnest, providing several routines for maintaining health, advising to wait until the Young Princeâs condition stabilizes. After he awakens, to be combined with dietary therapy.
The Sacred Girl of Southern Border, dressed in maidservantâs attire, stood in the dilapidated courtyard of the Princessâ Mansion. After walking in briskly, she shut the door with her hand.
Soon inside the room, another voice sounded.
âSomeoneâŠâ a female voice, somewhat angry.
The Sacred Girl of Southern Border felt a thud in her heart and instinctively wanted to turn and leave, only to see the rickety wooden door being pushed open, and the two of them were caught red-handed inside.
Seeing the person leading, the Sacred Girlâs composed expression changed slightly, suddenly murmuring, âItâs youâŠâ
Chu Heng entered from outside the door, his chiseled handsome face devoid of expression, with indifferent eyes lingering on her face for just a moment. He raised his hand, and immediately the guards came in.
The two were subdued.
As the Sacred Girl passed by him, she suddenly asked, âDid Lord Chu also take away the Witch Doctor?â
Chu Heng replied indifferently, âYou shouldnât have touched her.â
There was no denial, his voice full of coldness, blatantly protecting, with a very clear stance.
The Sacred Girl paused for a moment, couldnât help but look at him, and said, âMadam Chu is truly fortunate to have met you.â
Chu Heng didnât answer, his eyes slightly downcast, using a cold and polite demeanor to express his meaning.
Fortunate?
The fortunate one was clearly him.
Chu Heng couldnât help but let the corner of his mouth rise.
The Sacred Girl, due to his indifferent attitude, had a slight stiffness in her expression, seeing that he didnât even deign to spare her a glance, a trace of loneliness flashed across her face.
Soon, she was pushed away.
Xiao Tianhao walked over from the side, couldnât help but pat his shoulder, âLord Chu, thanks to you today, if it werenât for you, I might not have been able to catch those people.â
âNow that youâve caught them, interrogate properly, this is no small matter.â Chu Heng glanced at him lightly, reminded him, then turned and walked out.
Xiao Tianhao touched the tip of his nose, âI know, thank you.â
He tiptoed, watching Chu Heng leave, feeling joyous, not just because the mission was completed, but also because working with Chu Heng made the tasks the Emperor entrusted to him always go smoothly.
The Sacred Girl of Southern Border was taken into prison.
Chu Heng told Ye Muyu that he had been busy for several days and might not be able to return.
Ye Muyu then prepared meals at home, specially arranging for lunch to be sent to him.
Xiao Tianhao and Chu Heng stood in front of the cell, looking at the woman in front of them.
Xiao Tianhao said, âThis person confessed, saying she was someone close to the former Saintess.â
