Chapter 150: Inquiry
In the early morning, the dawn shone faintly through the window into the dimly lit dungeon.
Lin Qingwan was whipped overnight and was covered with scars. She was thrown on top of the straw mat, breathing hard. There was no good piece of meat left on her body, and every whip fell on her body, leaving blood marks on her.
Despite her skin, she still won't admit her guilt. The executioner had never seen a delicate woman with such hard bones, and he refused to admit the trumped-up charge even if he was tortured in every way.
But after all, it was Lu Zhao's order to be tortured to death, and the jailer was not to be lazy. Even if she regretted it, the strength in her hand was not lighter, it could make her feel pain, but it was not enough to die.
From beginning to end, Lin Qingwan just snorted a few times and never screamed. Although she had never suffered this kind of punishment in her previous life, the pain she suffered did not have to be so light, these were nothing at all.
When the sun rises high, Lin Qingwan will be dragged to torture again. She had long been numb to the pain, and she only hated that she had lost to power after all, and she was powerless to fight back.
When Chu Fuyan returned home, he listened to Shen Qing crying and asked him to save Lin Qingwan. He panicked, supported the crumbling Shen Qing, and asked, "Mother, what happened to Wan'er?"
His daughter-in-law, who has always loved him, was uncertain about her life and death in the palace, Shen Qing was crying so much that she almost fainted, what strength did she have to tell him the ins and outs?
Chu Yan sighed and finished speaking for Shen Qing: "Because Juan'er blinded Princess Showa, the emperor has sent someone to take Juan'er away. Say yes, choose a day to cut ......"
Speaking of this, Shen Qing couldn't accept it anymore, and fainted in front of him. Chu Fuyan caught her steadily, and then handed it to the maidservant: "You help the old lady back to the room first, Dad, you take care of your mother, and I will let the truth come out as soon as possible." ”、
What is the truth revealed, Chu Fuyan knows that Lin Qingwan is a person, and no matter what he does, he will not harm anyone, especially Lu Zhao. He almost didn't think about anything, he was only worried about Lin Qinghuan's safety, and he didn't think about it at all, so he thought about entering the palace to intercede for Lin Qinghuan.
At least for the sake of Lin Qingxuan's previous achievements, he can avoid death.
"Ah Yan, where are you going?" Chu Ziyi, who heard a little about Lin Qingwan, caught up with Chu Fuyan who was in a hurry halfway, "You don't want to enter the palace to plead with the emperor and spare Lin Qingwan, right?"
Seeing through Chu Fuyan's mind at a glance, Chu Ziyi was a little surprised. Where did his younger brother, who had always been moody, go?
Chu Fuyan, who was intercepted, frowned, and his brows became deeper and deeper. He has always respected Chu Ziyi, but at this time, he didn't know why he didn't respect him.
"So what? Get out of the way, don't stop me. The later she is, the more she suffers!"
Chu Ziyi has always been as gentle as jade, and at this time, he couldn't help but darken his face: "Are you sure you want to enter the palace so recklessly? Do you know that your unfounded plea will not only make the emperor angry with the Chu family, but even affect your career! When did you become so sober!"
Chu Fuyan, who had long been occupied by Lin Qingjuan, would be restrained by these vanities, he didn't listen to Chu Ziyi's advice at all, and still wanted to enter the palace to intercede for Lin Qingwan.
"I'm sorry, I can't afford to lose her. Big brother, if you're good, don't stop me, I don't want to regret it again. ”
After speaking, he and Chu Ziyi crossed shoulders and walked quickly outside the mansion.
Knowing that he couldn't persuade Chu Fuyan, Chu Ziyi could only do it in a hurry. As if he suddenly thought of something, he still opened his mouth and stopped Chu Fuyan: "Wait, we might as well sort things out." ”
Hearing this, Chu Fuyan couldn't help but stop, turned around and asked urgently, "What is the law?"
Chu Ziyi shook his head helplessly, he didn't expect Lin Qingwan to have such a great influence on him, he didn't even expect the simplest at all. Without hesitation, he said, "Do you think who started this? Just ask this man, and maybe you'll find out what's going on." ”
"You mean, Lu Zhao?" Chu Fuyan pondered, what he said was indeed right. The bell must be tied to the bell, and Lu Zhao is the core figure of this accident.
In short, Chu Fuyan would not believe that Lin Qingwan had blinded her. If he wanted to know the story of this matter, he could only go to Showa Zhai to visit Lu Zhao and ask something by the way.
He nodded and thanked Chu Ziyi: "I know, thank you, big brother." ”
After speaking, Chu Fuyan turned back and walked towards Showa Zhai.
Finally let Chu Fuyan listen to his words, Chu Ziyi couldn't help but sigh at the back of him leaving. He had never looked like this before, even if it was for her.
This Lin Qingwan is really not simple......
Now the most alive must be Lu Zhao, although it is really troublesome to pretend to be blind with white silk wrapped around his eyes all day long. But if Lin Qingwan dies without a place to be buried, he can also be wronged.
"Master, Tsing Yi has always wanted to ask, why is the blood under the master's eyes so realistic that day?" Tsing Yi was very curious, and asked cautiously while flattering and offering pastries.
Lu Zhao was in a good mood, so he would naturally say a word or two to her: "That is the rouge from the Western Regions, I heard that it will be as red as blood when it encounters water, but I just smeared a little bit on it, and it was really true." ”
After eating a few bites of pastry, Lu Zhao suddenly smiled happily: "Lin Qingjuan's slut must be better than dead in prison, right?" Hehe, it's really happy, if it weren't for avoiding suspicion, Princess Ben really wanted to see her dying." Definitely, it's pleasing to the eye. ”
She smiled wantonly, which was really inappropriate with the miserable appearance of that day's miserable cry for help. No matter how pale she is, she can't withstand her arrogance.
Tsing Yi suddenly nodded in realization, and had to admire Lu Zhao, when it came to means, others really still had to lose to her.
Just when she was still proud, a servant girl hurriedly ran in and said, "Young Mrs. Lu, the second young master is here!"
Hearing this, Lu Zhao was caught off guard and choked on a mouthful of pastry and began to cough violently. Tsing Yi hurriedly handed her water, and after finally relieving, she hurriedly sorted out her expression and leaned aside with a sad face.
"Zhao'er, I'll come to see you, are your eyes better?" Chu Fuyan pretended to be concerned, and the main purpose was to find out what happened.
Lu Zhao was overjoyed when she heard Chu Fuyan's voice, and she got up and wanted to throw herself into Chu Fuyan's arms for comfort. But he couldn't see anything in front of him, stumbled under his feet, and fell straight forward.
Chu Fuyan frowned and wanted to reach out to hold it, but thought that it was because of her that Lin Qingwan's life hung by a thread. was ruthless in his heart, Chu Fuyan didn't help her at the critical moment, and let her fall to the ground.
Xu was knocked on, and Lu Zhao grinned in pain. She slowly propped herself up, lying on the ground and not getting up: "Ah Yan, it hurts." Can you come over and help Zhao'er?"
Heh, will she be in pain? Lin Qingwan is thousands of times more painful than her, how can she be embarrassed to say that it hurts?
There was concern on his face, and his eyes were indeed as cold as the snow in December. He stepped forward to help Lu Zhao up, but she fell into his arms, and her face did not let go.
The coldness in her eyes seemed to be a little more disgusted, Chu Fuyan helped her to the bed and comforted her: "Okay, it's okay." Why weren't you careful? I just got far away and didn't pick you up, how about it? Does it still hurt?"
Lu Zhao only felt sweet in his heart, how could he feel pain. Rubbing it in his arms, she said coquettishly: "Isn't Zhao'er invisible? When Zhao'er gets better, Zhao'er must be careful about her feet, and Ah Yan shouldn't worry too much about Zhao'er." ”
Chu Fuyan snorted lightly, and then asked, "You and Juan'er, what happened?"
didn't expect it to come to this point, he still called Lin Qingwan affectionately. Lu Zhao secretly bit his lip, and said aggrievedly: "I don't know where my sister can't get used to it, let her drug Zhao'er in the tea while she is having refreshments with Zhao'er." Ah Yan, I'm so afraid I won't be able to see, what should I do?"
"Are you sure it was Juan'er who poisoned you and not someone else?"
Afraid that he wouldn't believe it, Lu Zhao said even more seriously: "Ah Yan, you have to believe Zhao'er! Zhao'er didn't lie to you, because when Zhao'er learned that she was drugged, Zhao'er saw her sister laughing at me for a long time. Ah Yan, I don't know if my sister has such deep affection for you, shouldn't I have married you in the first place?"
If this is really the case, Chu Fuyan may still be happy, because Lin Qingwan finally has a strong possessive desire for himself. But the truth is that she prefers to leave herself behind and fly away.
The brows couldn't help frowning deeper, and Chu Fuyan patted her back: "I know, I'll investigate thoroughly." ”
Lu Zhao was afraid that he would find out something, and his voice trembled a little: "Zhao'er believes in you, but Zhao'er is still so afraid." What if Zhao'er can't see it again in the future? Zhao'er still wants to see Ah Yan more......"
"Don't worry, I'll let the best doctor heal you. Chu Fuyan let her choke in his arms, "Okay, don't cry, your eyes should hurt again in a while." You don't want to cry and break your eyes before you are healed, do you?"
After a few more words of reassurance, Chu Fuyan left on the grounds that he was entangled in official business, telling her not to think about it too much, she would be fine.
Of course, Chu Fuyan didn't believe what she fabricated, because Lin Qingwan would not be the kind of person who drugged people behind her back. Lu Zhao must have hidden something, or calculated something.
At least he knew that Lu Zhao was poisoned by drinking tea, so he sent someone to check in the direction of tea.
Chu Fuyan found the doctor who treated Lu Zhao at that time, but he didn't expect it to be the imperial doctor in the palace. This made people even more suspicious, but he heard from the people in the mansion that they were looking for Lu Zhao to find a doctor in the city.
How did you become the imperial doctor in the palace?
It was not good to go directly to the palace to inquire, so I had to intercept him in the Chu Mansion by asking him to give Lu Zhao a follow-up examination. After some questioning, Chu Fuyan found that his answer was full of loopholes, and when he talked to him, his eyes wandered and he deliberately dodged.
Thinking that there must be a ghost in this, Chu Fuyan sent someone to investigate.
