Chapter 123: Regenerating Doubts
The spy had his chin removed, his voice humming and muffled, and the guard took the poison he had hidden between his teeth and put his chin back down.
Qin Boyong stood up and asked, "Say, who sent you here?" ”
The man looked up at Qin Boyong and sneered, his expression was very disdainful, "Do you think I will tell you?" ”
The dungeon guard stepped forward, holding an iron hook in his hand, and stabbed it into the man's arm, and bright red blood flowed out along the wound in an instant, while the guard's face remained unchanged, and he was still squeezing the hook in little by little.
Then he squeezed back and said, "You will always say." ”
The spy immediately turned pale and screamed violently, and the green tendons on his neck swelled, almost bursting out of his body.
Ouyang Qian, who had been looking at this side, also looked a little pale, although she had been floating on the rivers and lakes, she had never seen such a terrifying interrogation scene.
The man screamed, and suddenly laughed, and then closed his mouth in pain, Qin Boyong and the dungeon guards were shocked when they saw this scene, the guard hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to break his mouth, but it was too late, and a thick stream of blood suddenly flowed out of his mouth.
The spy glanced at Qin Boyong, and then quickly stopped moving.
The guard checked it, knelt in front of Qin Boyong with some shame, and said, "The subordinate is useless, he couldn't stop him from biting his tongue and committing suicide in time." ”
Qin Boyong shook his head and asked him to get up, "This person is indeed a good man, at this time, he still has the strength to bite his tongue and kill himself, find a place to bury him, as for who his master is, I probably have some eyebrows." ”
"Yes."
The guard bowed his head and answered, and soon called for someone to dispose of the man's body.
After Qin Boyong left, Ouyang Qian called the guards over, and asked with a pale face, "Who is that person?" ”
"It has nothing to do with you." The guard said lightly.
Ouyang Qian was choked and wanted to get angry, but when she remembered that this person had put an iron hook in someone else's body with an expressionless face, she was immediately deflated.
In the study, Qin Boyong was reading the news about the recent spies from various places. Recently, Zhou Xun's people have been haunted near the palace, and now there is a guard in the palace who doesn't know where he came from.
Judging from the behavior of this guard biting his tongue and committing suicide, he can't be an ordinary spy, so the probability that he is Zhou Xun's subordinate is as high as 90%, but why did he want to harm Su Yue'er, and did he contact Gu Muzhi?
He frowned and pondered, only to wake up from his contemplation when Lu Yuan walked in from outside.
"Lord Wang, let's drink this decoction first."
Lu Yuan handed over a bowl of decoction and medicine.
Although Qin Boyong didn't eat the pastries sent by Su Yue'er before, just in case, Lu Yuan still prepared a tonic that was conducive to dissolving toxins, even if it was not poisoned, it was good to nourish the body.
After drinking the decoction, Qin Boyong suddenly asked, "How is Gu Muzhi's body lately?" ”
Lu Yuan replied truthfully: "Miss Ah Zhi's health is much better, but she still needs to recuperate for a while. ”
Qin Boyong nodded, and after being silent for a while, he said; "You've been taking care of her all this time, do you think there's anything wrong?"
Lu Yuan was a little surprised, "What's wrong?" ”
After asking, he also thought of something, and said: "The prince is still suspicious of her, the prince has been spying on her before, and he should know that she has no contact with other people, is it possible...... Is it the newly captured spy? ”
"Maybe."
Qin Boyong's tone was also a little uncertain, "If I guessed correctly, that person should be Zhou Xun's subordinate, I was just wondering if Gu Muzhi had contacted that person, I was not in the mansion during this time, and some things were difficult to find." ”
Lu Yuan was stunned, lowered his eyes and said, "Then do I still need to take care of it over there?" ”
"You'd better continue to be in charge of her condition."
Qin Boyong waved his hand, but he didn't hesitate, "Her foundation is really poor, and I don't worry about anyone else except you." ”
Hearing this, Lu Yuan's heart suddenly relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face subconsciously, and he deliberately said in a slightly unpinched tone: "If I had known that Miss Ah Zhi would be abused, wouldn't I have been transferred away last time?" ”
Qin Boyong glanced at him helplessly and did not refute.
Lu Yuan suddenly became even happier, and he was happy for Gu Muzhi, he made a gesture of invitation, and said, "I don't know if the prince is free now, why don't you go and see Miss Ah Zhi." ”
"Okay."
Due to Su Yue'er's departure, the palace was much cleaner, and Zhang Qinshu did not live up to Qin Boyong's high expectations, and took care of the food in the backyard in an orderly manner, although it did not reach a perfect situation, but it was much better than Su Yue'er.
Because she clearly understands that everything is given by the prince, so when she was in the housekeeping, she did not excessively use her power for personal gain and elevate her status, so she had a good reputation among many concubines, and she was often invited to travel with her.
"Sister Zhang, you are now in charge of the affairs of the backyard of the palace, why are you always the same as us, don't you plan to add a few maids?"
An older concubine laughed.
She came to the palace relatively early, but she was never favored, Zhang Qinshu only remembered that she believed in Yu, so she smiled and said: "Sister Yu laughed, it is my honor for the prince to put the housekeeping in my hands, how can I use my power for personal gain, and go to the thing that oversteps my position, after all, Sister Su's fate is there, isn't it?" ”
This Xinyu's concubine has never dealt with her much in the past, but now that she has gained power, she has come over to stammer, Zhang Qinshu has no good impression of her, so her tone of voice is a little stiff.
Yu Jia laughed embarrassedly, and revealed the topic by herself, but she still had an expression of concern for Zhang Qinshu, "My sister has a good heart, but sister, I have to remind you, although you have now taken the power of housekeeping, but the prince is now very good to the sick man surnamed Gu, and he will visit him twice in three days, in case she gets better, maybe the housekeeping power will fall on that woman, and my sister has to plan for herself." ”
Zhang Qinshu laughed embarrassedly and politely, "Whoever the prince likes is whose blessing, my sister only knows how to do her part, and the rest of the things are everyone's creation." ”
Yu Jia saw that she couldn't make sense with Zhang Qinshu, and suddenly felt bored, so she took a few sisters to say goodbye to Zhang Qinshu and went to play by the lake on the other side.
When a few people gradually walked away, the smile on Zhang Qinshu's face gradually disappeared, and she asked the maid beside her.
"Is what she said true?"
The maid nodded, "That's true, the prince has been very interested in Miss Gu recently." ”
