Mo Zhaohua couldn't tell anything about his past life, so he could only make excuses to get away with it.
"Ahem... As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. Isn't this just to protect myself?"
"You said before that Concubine Liang looked down on you and thought that the Fuguogong Mansion was not as good as the General's Mansion. Does she regret it now?"
Whenever Chu Xuanchi thought about the fact that Concubine Liang looked down on Mo Zhaohua and that Chu Xuanhan wanted to use her, he became furious.
Her Zhaozhao is so good, with a dignified and generous appearance, a gentle and considerate personality, and a very smart and meticulous person.
Fortunately, Concubine Liang didn't like her. Otherwise, if she had persuaded him a little, who knows who would have gotten the chance to be the princess.
Mo Zhaohua chuckled, "Of course I will regret it. After all, my temper is better than Yuchi Jiuyue's. I won't go back to my parents' home in the middle of the night."
Chu Xuanchi laughed heartily, "Haha... Even if Zhao Zhao really went back to her parents' home, she had a plan and went back with a purpose."
He remembered the scene they had played at the beginning. She had gone to great lengths to get him to take a medicinal bath in the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion.
Mo Zhaohua blinked his eyes like a villain, "That's right. After a woman gets married, how can she just go back to her parents' home whenever she wants?"
Speaking of going back to his mother's house, Chu Xuanchi remembered something, "Isn't it that the Sixth Brother will accompany Mo Yaohua back to the Shangshu Mansion tomorrow?"
Mo Zhaohua shook her head, thoughtfully, "From my perspective, Prince Qi probably doesn't want to accompany the concubine back to her parents' home at all."
"Oh?" Chu Xuanchi had heard Chu Xuanhan agree so readily before, and thought he was happy about it. "What do you think, Zhaozhao?"
Mo Zhaohua analyzed, "The concubine said that Yuanxiao would go back that day, and Prince Qi readily agreed, and he couldn't have been unaware that there would be a banquet inside Yuanxiao."
Not to mention that Chu Xuanhan had grown up in Shengjing City. Even if he left Beijing at a young age like Chu Xuanchi, he knew that there would be internal banquets in the palace during festivals.
Chu Xuanchi suddenly realized, "What you said makes sense. Zhao Zhao is really careful. Lao Liu is clearly just trying to please Mo Yaohua."
Mo Zhaohua blinked, "I'm afraid there will be another good show at Prince Qi's Mansion soon. I'll wait for good news from Qinghua."
***
Prince Qi’s Mansion, dungeon.
Chu Xuanhan went straight here after returning from the palace.
When Concubine Chunhui mocked Mo Yaohua at the banquet, she was slapping him in the face.
But what they said was the truth. Mo Yaohua was indeed a concubine's daughter, and he was powerless to refute it.
If Mo Yaohua had given birth to that son and brought him into the palace today, the situation would have been different.
When he thought of his son, he remembered Jinqiu who was still imprisoned. If she hadn't betrayed him, he wouldn't have lost his eldest son.
It just so happened that he was full of anger and had no place to vent it, so he simply came to the dungeon to interrogate Jinqiu, and he must get a result today.
He held a thorny rattan stick soaked in salt water and whipped Jinqiu fiercely, "Tell me, who ordered you to harm Yaoyao!"
"Ah——" Jinqiu, who was covered in wounds, screamed, "No one, I really didn't drug the concubine..."
Since she was locked up a few years ago, she has been interrogated every day. Punishment is just commonplace, and she will be treated by the government doctor after being beaten.
And the so-called treatment was just to keep her alive, for fear that she would die like Zhaoxia and all clues would be cut off.
Chu Xuanhan whipped Jinqiu again. He was also a martial artist, so his hands were very strong and he hit Jinqiu so hard that his skin was torn.
He used Jinqiu as a punching bag and whipped her several times before he finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked sternly, "It's really not you?"
"Really not..." Jinqiu gasped in pain and shivered, "I have been with the concubine for many years and have been dedicated to protecting my master. How could I harm her?"
Not only did Jinqiu never harm Mo Yaohua, he also protected her everywhere and covered for her, hoping that she would ascend to a high position and benefit himself.
Chu Xuanhan interrogated her again, but Jinqiu still refused to give in, insisting that she had never betrayed her master and that there was really no one behind her.
He was skeptical and changed the question, "I am handsome and a prince. Do you have any thoughts about me?"
Chaoxia had mentioned before that Mo Yaohua promised Jinqiu that she would be a maid, and once she became pregnant, she would be promoted to a concubine because of her status as a mother with a child.
This is indeed a great temptation. In addition, Mo Yaohua has used children before, so he has not yet dispelled his suspicion of Mo Yaohua.
Jinqiu lowered her head and spoke in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible, "Your servant..."
“Speak!” Chu Xuanhan shouted angrily, “If you dare to say even a single lie, I will make you wish you were dead!”
"I was greedy..." Jin Qiu admitted, "but I never told Concubine Shu about it. The drugging had nothing to do with Concubine Shu."
Chu Xuanhan confirmed with her again and again, "Did she really not promise you any benefits?"
"No..." Jin Qiu took a breath, "The concubine is too jealous. I was afraid that she would find out, so how could I dare to tell you."
Chu Xuanhan looked at her without saying anything, but his eyes were deep, and he was obviously considering the truthfulness of her words.
"Your Highness..." Jin Qiu said anxiously, "Everything I say is true. If I say even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
"Hmph!" Chu Xuanhan threw the whip in his hand, flicked his sleeves, turned around and left the dungeon.
Jin Qiu shouted at his back, "My Lord, please believe me, I am telling the truth..."
Chu Xuanhan did not respond, but strode out of the dungeon, with Leng Yan and Leng Feng following closely behind him.
Leng Feng asked in a low voice, "Master, do you need me to re-examine the case?"
Chu Xuanhan said something shocking, "Kill him."
Leng Feng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked in confusion, "Why, but the master already knows who is behind her?"
Henry Chu said coldly, "It was that bitch Zhaoxia who lied. Jinqiu didn't know about it, and there will be no result from retrial."
He had just thought about it carefully. Since Jinqiu really had greed for him, she would not be bribed and would not betray her master.
"Chaoxia is dead and has no family. Doesn't that mean all clues are lost?" Leng Feng is in charge of investigating this matter. How can he continue the investigation in this case?
Chu Xuanhan's eyes were sinister. "This is the only way for now. I have already informed the General's Mansion. We will investigate the rest when we have clues."
"Yes, master." Leng Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that all the clues would be lost, but Chu Xuanhan still wanted him to find out a result.
"Whose hands are so long?" He asked cautiously with cold eyes, "In my opinion, could it be the work of the King of Jin?"
How could Chu Xuanhan be sure? "It could be anyone. There are too many people who don't want to see me give birth to the eldest grandson."
He sighed helplessly, "It's a pity that we haven't been able to get more clues. I'm afraid this will become another unsolved case."
Chu Xuanhan said firmly, "No, I will find that person sooner or later, and I will never let my son die in vain!"
When the Prince of Jin and the Crown Prince fight, one of them will be injured. He will then take the opportunity to ask the defeated party whether he had harmed his child.
No matter who wins, he will push someone else to fight with him, and he will continue to reap the benefits while interrogating the loser.
If there is no result after all, he will continue to pursue this matter after he reaches a high position. He doesn't believe that he won't be able to find out the truth!
