Chapter 450 Who is the Mastermind? (2)

Soon the little girl was brought before the elders.

His back was slightly hunched, and his hands, which were tucked into his sleeves and constantly stirring, had already turned red. He bit his lower lip tightly, and his timid eyes would occasionally glance secretly at the three elders and the tiger leader sitting at the top.

When he saw that the Third Elder was also there, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes and his expression became much better than before.

The Great Elder, who had been secretly observing her, keenly caught her sudden change and secretly glanced at the Third Elder who was sitting next to him.

The third elder understood what was going on and nodded slightly. When he looked at the girl again, there was a smile on his face, like the old lady next door, with eyes full of kindness.

The first elder, the second elder and the tiger leader then slightly closed their eyes, relaxed their posture, and minimized their presence as much as possible.

The little girl standing in the middle suddenly felt that the scrutinizing gaze like a mountain disappeared.

I couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and the frequency of rubbing my hands together also decreased unconsciously.

But his head was almost lowered to his chest and never raised up.

"Girl, what's your name? You know me, right?" The third elder asked slowly, his tone full of certainty.

"My name is Cui'er," the little girl nodded with red eyes. The Third Elder was the only person who had given her warmth in the past ten years. "Seven years ago, my father was dying of illness. It was the Third Elder who examined him and stopped the nanny from sending me herbs."

"Otherwise, my father would have died long ago."

So that's how it is. The third elder secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then felt happy in his heart, and secretly prayed to his ancestors for blessings.

Since there is such a relationship, the subsequent questioning may go more smoothly than planned.

The third elder suppressed his anxious heart, and patiently looked at Cui'er with an even kinder look, and his tone was much gentler than before.

"Then, when did Cui Er enter the eldest prince's mansion? And why did she enter?"

Hearing this, Cui'er's thin body couldn't help but tremble a few times, and her face turned pale. For her, that was a past that she couldn't bear to look back on.

"You are safe now, don't be afraid, we will protect you. Just answer whatever I ask and tell me everything you know, okay?" The third elder gently comforted the girl.

"Then..." Cui'er bravely walked into the room and slowly raised her head for the first time.

The two elders and the tiger leader, who had been observing secretly with their eyes narrowed, had their eyelids twitching rapidly and uncontrollably when they saw this. They even held their breath, not daring to breathe.

The third elder was not in a hurry, and his eyes became more gentle as he looked at the girl.

Can I really trust her? The girl's eyes were confused, her expression kept changing, and her heart was beating like a drum, thump thump thump.

Even if she was used, even if she was deceived, she had no way out since she was taken to the Shenxing Division.

Now, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was presented to her. If she didn't seize it, she would never see her father again in her life.

Moreover, she believed that a childless person who had devoted his entire life to the Holy Maiden Temple and the tribe would never go back on his word.

Half a cup of tea later, the girl's complexion finally returned to normal, and her confused eyes became firm.

"Third Elder, I, I believe you! I can tell you everything I know, but can you please let me see my father again? I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

Ever since the eldest prince was defeated, his mansion was ransacked and all the people in the mansion were locked up here. After that, they worked in fear, fought for food, and had to be on guard against the whip of the steward and the prying eyes of the men at all times.

Her heart had been hanging like this, like a rubber band stretched to its limit. Today, she met the third elder who had once given her help and warmth.

In addition, after a mental struggle, her anger suddenly relaxed. The girl could no longer hold back her emotions that had been suppressed for a long time, and she burst into tears.

After the girl calmed down a bit, the Third Elder continued to ask leisurely: "Cui'er, no matter what, I will arrange for you and your daughter to meet. Don't worry about that."

"Really?"

The third elder nodded, "I won't speak nonsense."

A hint of surprise flashed across Cui'er's eyes, and her pretty little face showed the first smile since the accident.

Then she recounted in detail the whole story that had been discussed on the paper.

After hearing this, the Third Elder hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Then in your opinion, whose child is that Miss Yan'er's?"

Cui'er is still an unmarried girl, so the Third Elder's question was a bit abrupt, but the matter was of great importance, and in the end she didn't care about that.

"It's the eldest prince's!" I didn't expect Cui'er's answer to be so straightforward and without any hesitation.

"How can you be so sure?"

"Well, before the eldest prince took us away from the capital, I once saw her suddenly retching before a meal. At that time, the eldest prince was very happy and clapped his hands in joy!"

"Well, he also said..."

At this moment, the Great Elder could no longer bear it, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked urgently: "What did you say?"

Cui Er was startled by his voice and her face turned pale again, but she still suppressed her fear and answered: "It seems that she said that she hoped it would be a boy, and then the whole world would belong to them."

"Are you sure you heard him say that?" This time, the Second Elder and Tiger Chief couldn't sit still and opened their eyes.

"Yes, I heard it clearly. And the restaurant owner and the waiter were standing with me at the time. They were also very happy."

The Great Elder couldn't help but take a deep breath and accidentally bit his tongue.

The four people in the room were so frightened that their faces turned pale. If this was true, attempting to confuse the royal bloodline would be a capital crime.

The four great families of Haoyue have been passed down for hundreds of years, and they are not meant to be vegetarians. Once they find out, they will ask the tribe for an explanation, then...

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on the Great Elder's forehead. He was extremely grateful to the Third Elder for his sudden perception that day, which was why they thought of thoroughly checking the supplies of each tribe and came to the Shenxing Division.

God really helps the tribe!

It’s not too late to get such important information at this time!

This Cui'er is really their little lucky star!

"Cui'er, right?" the elder asked softly.

Cui'er looked confused, not knowing what the Great Elder meant by asking her name, but she still nodded obediently.

He had just flipped through the booklet handed to him by Chief Tiger, which contained detailed records of the reasons for the imprisonment and life records of each person in the Shenxing Division.

This girl named Cui'er did not do anything bad herself, but was implicated by the eldest prince and was brought in.

He had just flipped through the booklet handed to him by Chief Tiger, which contained detailed records of the reasons for the imprisonment and life records of each person in the Shenxing Division.

This girl named Cui'er did not do anything bad herself, and was indeed implicated by the eldest prince. This time she made such a great contribution, and she fully met the conditions for release, so...

"I have agreed to the conditions you just proposed, and I can also promise to release you from the Shenxing Division. However, I also have a small request, I wonder if you can agree to it?"

"What do you want to note? Great Elder, please tell me."

Hearing that she could be set free, Cui'er's heart was excited. Now, let alone one request, she would agree to ten or a hundred requests as long as she could do it.

She didn't want to stay in this Shenxingsi life any longer.

"None of us know the owner and waiter of the 'Eight Directions Visitors' restaurant you mentioned just now. This matter involves too many people. Once it is brought to light, we will have to confront them face to face to verify the facts."

"So can you come with us to the capital? And be a witness if necessary?"

"Of course, this is my duty. I can go anytime."

Originally, I thought that the Great Elder was going to mention something very important, but upon hearing that, Cui'er agreed without even thinking.

The Great Elder nodded with satisfaction. They were not wrong. She was indeed a sensible girl.

At this time, the second elder, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted and said, "Miss Cui'er, the day before yesterday we discovered that the Lion Clan, formerly the Hidden Kingdom, was missing a bottle of hallucinogenic powder. Do you know who has it?"
