Quick Travel: The paranoid villain acts like a baby in my arms

Chapter 54 The Regent fulfills his duties 19

It didn't take long for Jin Fugui and Chu Yan to catch the poisoner.

It was a palace maid who was tied up and gagged with a rag and brought to Wei Chengjing and Xu Qinyu.

Chu Yan walked to stand behind Xu Qinyu without saying a word, while Jin Fugui reported.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this person is the murderer, but she, she said..."

Jin Fugui spoke hesitantly, and it was obvious that there was something wrong with the palace maid's confession.

Wei Chengjing wanted to see what the maid said that made it so difficult for Jin Fugui to speak.

"Take the cloth off her mouth, I want to hear what she said."

The cloth on the palace maid's mouth was removed, and she immediately kowtowed to Wei Chengjing.

"Your Majesty, please save this slave. I did it according to your instructions! It was you who ordered me to drug the prince, so I did this!"

When Xu Qinyu heard the palace maid's confession, his body suddenly stiffened.

Wei Chengjing and Xu Qinyu were sitting side by side. He was still holding Xu Qinyu's hand. He immediately felt the changes in Xu Qinyu's body. He was worried that Xu Qinyu would believe the false confession of the palace maid.

"Ayu?"

Xu Qinyu smiled comfortingly at Wei Chengjing.

He admitted that he was a little confused when he first heard the palace maid's confession, but he quickly calmed down because there was no guilt in Wei Chengjing's eyes, only worry.

Xu Qinyu took his hand away from Wei Chengjing's, stood up, took two steps forward and squatted in front of the palace maid.

"You said that the emperor sent you to drug me?"

The palace maid nodded repeatedly: "Yes."

Wei Chengjing was not flustered at all and was very calm. 22 He was already yelling: "She is lying. She is obviously sent by the Yan State. She is shameless. She is clearly trying to drive a wedge between the master and you." 】

How could Wei Chengjing not know this?

[Continue to watch Ayu’s trial. Ayu has been the regent for several years. He will not listen to slander so easily. 】

Xu Qinyu's face didn't change much when he heard the palace maid's answer.

"you sure?"

The palace maid was very sure: "I'm sure, the emperor said to put the poison in the medicine while you were sick. When you drink the medicine and die, it can be announced to the public that you died due to illness."

It makes sense. If he were facing the former Wei Chengjing, Xu Qinyu might believe him.

"Then tell me, when did the emperor give you poison, and what kind of poison did he give you? Did the emperor give it to you personally, or did he send someone to give it to you? If he sent someone to give it to you, who did he send?"

The palace maid was almost stunned by Xu Qinyu's questions. Fortunately, she was well-trained and was not distracted.

"Last night, after you fell ill, the emperor immediately asked a eunuch I didn't know to give it to me. I don't know the specific poison."

The palace girl was afraid that Xu Qinyu wouldn't believe it, so she made it unclear as if it was the truth.

It would be best if we take this opportunity to make Wei Chengjing and Xu Qinyu fall out.

"Oh." Xu Qinyu was still very calm: "Then why didn't you poison me this morning instead of waiting until now?"

The palace maid said: "There were too many people in the kitchen in the morning, so I never found an opportunity. I took advantage of their laxity in the afternoon and administered the poison."

When asked here, Xu Qinyu no longer needed to ask.

He knew exactly who was around Wei Chengjing. If he really wanted to find someone to poison him, he couldn't find an unknown eunuch.

His spies are everywhere in the palace, and he will know anything unusual.

The fact that this kind of poison is on this palace maid's body means that it was brought in a long time ago. It seems that the palace needs to be put in order.

"Since you refuse to tell the truth, don't blame me for being rude."

Xu Qinyu had a smile on his face, but to the palace maid, he looked like a man-eating evil spirit.

She pretended to be calm, but still insisted that Wei Chengjing was the one who instigated her.

Xu Qinyu stopped asking and turned around to ask Wei Chengjing: "Ah Jing, can you leave this person to me?"

This was the person who wanted to harm Xu Qinyu. Wei Chengjing agreed: "Yes."

Xu Qinyu's expression softened when facing Wei Chengjing at this time, but his heart was extremely dark.

In the past, he would have punished the palace maid in front of Wei Chengjing, but not now.

They just got together, and he couldn't let Wei Chengjing think that he was cruel. Although Wei Chengjing had seen him many times before, he still didn't want Wei Chengjing to see him now.

"Take her down and I will interrogate her again later."

Xu Qinyu drank the second bowl of medicine without hesitation and went to interrogate the person after drinking it.

Wei Chengjing doesn't care how Xu Qinyu interrogates, he can interrogate however he likes.

22 Although he knew how Xu Qinyu tried, Wei Chengjing didn't ask, and he didn't intend to tell.

It witnessed the whole process, but it was bloody. Fortunately, Wei Chengjing didn't want to know, otherwise its owner's image in the mind of the Lord would be ruined.

The palace maid had her fingernails pulled out. She finally couldn't stand the trick anymore and even confessed a few of her accomplices.

Xu Qinyu did not let her go. Xu Qinyu even let the palace maid and her accomplices divide the soil in the basin where Wei Chengjing poured the medicine.

Later, because the poison was diluted by the soil and was not toxic enough, those few people did not die, but they were almost dead and dying.

Xu Qinyu asked people to send them to Yan State and give them to Yan Ze.

22 He didn’t say anything, and Wei Chengjing didn’t ask when Xu Qinyu came back, and still wanted to hug Xu Qinyu.

Xu Qinyu still remembered that he had the smell of blood on his body and had to take a shower first.

Then Wei Chengjing waited and waited. After waiting for an hour, Xu Qinyu didn't come to his place. Instead, he waited for a eunuch who was delivering a message.

The eunuch told Wei Chengjing that Xu Qinyu said he was still sick and would rest first.

Wei Chengjing no longer agrees. They have just begun to fall in love. They finally see the light of living together. Are they going to separate rooms now?

So Wei Chengjing ran to Xu Qinyu's bedroom again, stood at the door of Xu Qinyu's bedroom, and knocked on the door.

"Ayu, I'm here."

Xu Qinyu didn't expect Wei Chengjing to run over. He was worried that Wei Chengjing would catch cold, so he quickly got up and opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Wei Chengjing with a resentful face.

For some reason, Xu Qinyu wanted to laugh when she saw Wei Chengjing acting aggrieved and like a little wife.

He stretched out his hand to pull Wei Chengjing into the room, closed the door, and then asked him why he was here.

Wei Chengjing said aggrievedly: "Why don't you go to my place? Don't my room, my bed, and my smell smell good?"

[Shenjun, you can act like a baby! ! ! 】

22 was really surprised. It had always thought that Wei Chengjing was a more mature and steady type of person, and it really refreshed its understanding again and again.

Wei Chengjing said confidently: "I am acting coquettishly with the person I like, isn't that allowed?" 】

As long as you can achieve your goals and act coquettishly, it doesn't matter.

Xu Qinyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and coaxed: "You are the most fragrant, but I am sick. Sleeping with you will bring illness to you."

"It's late." Wei Chengjing pointed out: "We have already laid down together in the morning, and we also stayed in the same room in the afternoon. If you could bring the illness to me, you would have brought him here."

Xu Qinyu was speechless because what Wei Chengjing said was true.

Wei Chengjing struck while the iron was hot and continued to misbehave: "That palace maid framed me, and I feel uncomfortable. I have to be with you to not panic. Promise me, Ayu~"
