Xie An brought him to the side hall.
The eunuch was woken up. He felt a dull pain in the back of his head and blood all over his hands.
The crackling sound of the burning candle startled the eunuch, causing him to feel waves of pain in his nerves.
“Sir, you’re awake.”
The eunuch suddenly looked forward. Xie An was standing in front of him with a sword in his hand. On the chair beside him, there was a little palace maid sitting in a crooked manner.
However, she dared to sit so improperly in front of Xie An. How could she be an ordinary palace maid?
Xie An also had a headache.
She really didn’t know what the crown prince saw in this woman.
She didn’t tell him where she came from and acted arrogantly.
Forget it!
Let’s get rid of this person first.
Xie An took two steps forward. “What did you put in the water tank?”
The eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground and answered with a trembling voice, “Lord Xie an... i. . . I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
......
“HMPH, you don’t understand? Why did you go to the backyard in the middle of the night?”
“I. . . I’m a little hungry... so...”the eunuch quickly kowtowed. “Sir Xie An, please spare my life. I didn’t eat anything at night. I’m really too hungry. I didn’t steal anything on purpose. Please spare my life, Sir Xie An.”
The eunuch refused to admit it.
He insisted that he went to the kitchen to steal something to eat and wanted to drink some water. He didn’t know why he was pushed into the water and brought here.
Xie An didn’t find anything on the eunuch.
He asked someone to fetch some water, but the eunuch drank it in a few mouthfuls.
Xie An looked at Ming Shu.
Ming Shu put her hand on the back of the chair and suggested, “He must have put something in there. Why Don’t we torture him?”
The Eunuch:”...”
Xie An:”...”
Xie An left the room. He must have gone to ask the crown prince.
Sure enough, after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the crown prince came over wearing a black cloak.
His hair was not tied up yet, but just draped behind his back. A few strands fell in front of him, as if they had come from the night and could bewitch people.
He glanced at the eunuchs on the ground, and his gaze slowly fell on Ming Shu.
“I asked you to clean the East Palace, and now you’re making trouble for me?”
“Your Highness, be reasonable. I helped you catch a person with evil intentions, okay?”
The crown prince’s lips curled up slightly, and he said in a cold and sarcastic tone, “Aren’t you the one with evil intentions?”
Ming Shu smiled and agreed. “Yes, but you still kept me?”
”...”
He himself didn’t have an answer to this question.
The crown prince quickly changed the topic. “You said that he put something in the water tank. What did he put there?”
“Your Highness, you have to ask him this question. I didn’t put it in the water tank. How would I know?”
The crown prince narrowed his eyes. “What did he say?”
This question was directed at Xie An.
“Your Highness, he didn’t say anything. I just let him drink the water in the water tank. There was nothing wrong with it. The water tank was also checked. There was no poison.”
“Your Highness.”The eunuch crawled towards the Crown Prince, he was covered in Snot and tears. “I didn’t do anything. I just wanted to steal something to eat. It was this palace maid... she was talking nonsense and insisted that I put something in the water tank. I just wanted to drink some water. I was wronged!”!
Xie An kicked the eunuch away. “Shut up! Your Highness didn’t ask you.”
“Your Highness, please spare my life...”
“I know I was wrong.”
“Your Highness, Please Spare My Life!”
The eunuch begged for mercy while pushing the responsibility to Ming Shu.
Ming Shu didn’t react much, as if she wasn’t worried about implicating herself.
“Your Highness, what do you think?”Xie An asked in a low voice beside the crown prince.
“Shen Yue, you interrogate him.”
“Your Highness?”
The crown prince glanced at Xie an calmly, but Xie an didn’t dare to speak again.
His Highness’expression meant that he had already made up his mind.
Xie An was dissatisfied with Ming Shu, but he didn’t want anyone to frame the crown prince.
“What benefits do I get?”
PFFT..
Xie An almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Now was the time to prove to her that she was not wrong, and she actually wanted benefits?
She must be crazy!
“Miss Shen Yue, if you can’t prove what you said, you will be accused of lying and will be punished!”Xie An warned Ming Shu.
“What if I can prove it? What benefits do I have?”
She looked straight at the crown prince.
The crown prince asked subconsciously, “What benefits do you want?”
Ming Shu smiled brightly. “Give me chicken legs for every meal.”
The food of the eunuchs and palace maids was not very good. They could only fill you up.
All the good things belonged to the Masters.
If Ming Shu wanted to eat a chicken drumstick, she would have to fly out in the middle of the night to eat it.
But she was tired.
The Crown Prince:”...”
Xie An:”...”
An assassin only had this little ambition!
“Okay.”
Ming Shu immediately got up from her chair and walked to the eunuch.
“Little eunuch, I’ll give you a chance. If you say it, you won’t have to suffer.”
“I didn’t do anything. Don’t try to slander me!”The eunuch straightened his neck.
Ming Shu raised her hand and patted his shoulder.
“I’ll give you a chance, but don’t take it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the little eunuch’s face changed dramatically, as if he was in great pain.
–
The young eunuch was just an ordinary person. Being able to resist for a minute was already his limit.
His fingernails dug into the ground, dripping with blood.
“Someone... someone asked me to put something into the water.”
“Who?”Xie An grabbed the young eunuch’s collar. “Who asked you to do it?”
The young eunuch did not dare to hide anymore. “Eunuch Lin.”
Xie an continued to ask, “What did he ask you to put in?”
The young eunuch replied, “It’s a kind of medicinal powder. It won’t cause harm to people if they eat it, but... as long as it comes into contact with the spices used by the eastern palace, it will cause an allergic reaction.”
Xie an frowned and asked, “Just an allergic reaction?”
“Yes, I don’t dare to speak carelessly. Eunuch Lin did indeed say so.”
Every palace had their own spices, and the eastern palace was naturally no exception. However, the crown prince did not like it very much, so the bedroom did not use spices, but the study would use some.
Besides, there were also spices in other places, and His Highness would always come and go.
“Go get the spices,”xie an ordered in a loud voice.
The little eunuch lay on the ground, not even panting.
The spices were lit in front of him. The little eunuch had drunk so much water, but in a moment, a red rash appeared on his face. It was very scary.
The little eunuch even reached out and scratched. “It’s itchy, Itchy...”
In just a moment, the little eunuch’s face was scratched.
“What is the purpose of this?”Xie An stepped on the little eunuch to the ground.
“I don’t know, I don’t know...”the little eunuch shouted. “Eunuch Lin only told me so much. I don’t know anything else.”
Xie An interrogated him for a while, but he still didn’t know anything about the eunuch.
He looked at Ming Shu beside him. “Miss Shen Yue, why don’t you do it?”
Although he didn’t know what method she used, it seemed to be very useful.
But this didn’t make him feel that she was not in danger!
Ming Shu held her chin and said faintly, “It’s useless to ask. He doesn’t know.”
If he knew, he would have said it just now.
Xie An:”...”
Xie An looked at the silent crown prince and waved his hand. “Take him away.”
“Itchy, please spare my life, Your Highness, please spare my life...”
