Chapter 377 The Beautiful Courtesan Attracts the King's Heart 22

"Umm...Umm, what did you feed me?"

"Poison, the kind that'll kill you." Chu Yuan watched coldly as Luo Chenze was tortured to the point of wanting to die. He humbly knelt at her feet and begged for mercy, his heart filled with the pleasure of revenge.

"Seven years ago, my parents begged for mercy like this, but what did you do? You killed them."

Hearing Chu Yuan tell the truth of that year, Luo Chenze was shocked: "How did you know? I have already dealt with the guards who accompanied him back then, and your brother is still in my hands! If you dare to do anything to me, I will make sure you never see him again."

Seeing the biting coldness in Chu Yuan's eyes, Luo Chenze mentioned the original owner's younger brother as if he had grasped the last straw.

"You know whether that man is my brother or not. Now you've reminded me that I still have a grudge to settle with you."

In just a few words, the effect of the Hundred Poison Pill began to become more and more obvious. The pain at the beginning was nothing compared to what it was now.

The feeling as if he was being burned by fire made Luo Chenze unable to continue thinking calmly.

So under Chu Yuan's guidance, he quickly revealed the person who planned this matter behind the scenes.

There is no reason why the Minister of the Imperial Household, the official in charge of carriages and horses in the capital, would have any grudge against the Chu family, right?

However, Luo Chenze did not seem to be lying, and there was no need to lie for such a small matter. In order to verify the truthfulness of Luo Chenze's words, Chu Yuan decided to go and check it out in person.

She still didn't take a small official like the Minister of the Imperial Household Department seriously.

Chu Yuan ignored Luo Chenze who was still groaning in pain, re-chained the cell door and left.

Although she couldn't end Luo Chenze's life in the clan house before the conspiracy was concluded, it was no problem to let him suffer a little. After all, the residence of the Minister of the Imperial Household was only a few streets away from here, and it wouldn't take long to go back and forth.

But I didn’t expect that as soon as I walked out of the clan residence, I saw Zhou Xianjin who had been waiting here.

"So, what did you find out? Did you not do anything ruthless?"

Chu Yuan sighed helplessly, then took out a porcelain bottle from the pouch on his waist and handed it to Zhou Xianjin: "Don't worry, he's not dead. I just poisoned him. This is the antidote."

"I have one more thing to verify, so I'll leave first." After saying that, Chu Yuan flew out of the clan house.

Although Zhou Xianjin came forward to save the prince's life, it was impossible for Chu Yuan to let him go so easily, so the pill handed to Zhou Xianjin was both the antidote to the Hundred Poison Pills and another kind of poison.

Anyway, as long as the person can appear in front of the emperor intact, who would care about the inner thoughts of a treasonous prince?

After arriving at the residence of the Minister of the Imperial Household in the dark, Chu Yuan used a drug to knock out the guards in the backyard and went straight into the largest bedroom.

Li Zheng, the Minister of the Imperial Household, was an old man in his fifties, and there were two beautiful ladies lying on his bed. The scene was simply too disgusting to watch.

Fortunately, they were not doing anything inappropriate for children. Chu Yuan picked up a coat with a dagger and threw it on Li Zheng, then gave him a heavy injection in his Hegu acupoint to wake him up.

“Wh…who!?”

I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a man in black standing in front of my bed with a cold blade against my neck. What could be more terrifying than this?

"I advise Lord Li not to shout. If the noise is too loud and scares me, I won't be able to control the force of the knife."

Li Zheng swallowed nervously a few times, then lowered his voice: "Okay, okay, I won't shout. May I ask where you are from, young lady? Do you need my help with anything you are visiting me so late at night?"

"Do you still remember the Chu family in the suburbs of Beijing seven years ago?"

Li Zheng's eyes revealed his confusion. Perhaps there was too much blood on his hands and he could not remember the incident seven years ago.

Chu Yuan reminded him, "Seven years ago, you led the Crown Prince to the door of a family surnamed Chu, and then let your subordinates set fire to the house, causing the entire Chu family to die in the sea of ​​fire. Why, Master Li, is your memory so bad?"

As he spoke, Chu Yuan moved the tip of the knife forward a little further, leaving a bloody mark on Li Zheng's neck.

Now that his life and property were in the hands of others, Li Zheng did not dare to lie at this critical juncture, so he told Chu Yuan everything that had happened.

"Now that you mention it, I do remember some fragments, but I remember that there was still someone alive in the Chu family at that time, a pair of young siblings."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Chu Yuan's expression, and when he saw that there was no change, he continued:

"In fact, I have no hatred towards that family. Seven years ago, I was just a minor official in charge of carriages and horses under the prince. On the way to the horse farm outside Beijing, the prince happened to meet a pair of siblings playing on the street. At that time, the prince casually praised the little girl's appearance, so..."

He didn't dare to say the rest. At this time, Li Zheng had already vaguely guessed that the woman in front of him was probably the older sister of the Chu family.

"So in order to gain the prince's appreciation, you secretly planned an accident, leaving my sister and me homeless, and forced to rely on the prince's protection to survive."

"Miss, please calm down. I have committed a crime, but please consider that I have parents and children to take care of... uh."

Before he could finish begging for mercy, Li Zheng had already lost his breath.

After confirming that Li Zheng was the real culprit behind this incident, Chu Yuan had already prepared a poison to send this old immortal on his way. The poison would take effect immediately once taken, leaving him no time to react.

Anyway, this person has found a good excuse for his own death: he died of excessive indulgence and exhaustion.

If this reputation spread, it would be enough to provide some after-dinner jokes for the various prefectures in the capital.

After finishing this matter, Chu Yuan returned to Fengyue Tower and met Chu Nian who had been waiting in the room for a long time.

Originally, Chu Nian wanted to go with Chu Yuan, but Chu Yuan refused his request to go with him. Firstly, he was still young. In Chu Yuan's traditional modern concept, children should not be exposed to bloody and violent things too early, as this is not good for their physical and mental health.

The second reason is that when interrogating the prince, she will inevitably use some extraordinary means, and Chu Yuan does not want to destroy the image of the original owner as an elder sister in her brother's mind.

So there is the scene that Chu Nian is looking forward to now.
