Born to be a star? The abstinent prince dotes on her

Chapter 221 Reaching out to the Imperial Capital

The big man pretended to be confused: "I don't know what you are talking about? Who are you?"

"Why should you arrest me?"

Shen Yindi had a cold smile on her lips. She looked at Mu Ningyuan and said, "Brother Mu, you should have a lot of torture instruments here, right? If he doesn't answer honestly, let him taste the power of our Great Chu torture instruments!"

"Of course. How about putting a stamp on it first?" Mu Ningyuan's voice was also cold.

His Royal Highness the King of Zhenbei was not to be outdone: "In my opinion, the water-smothering method is more stimulating."

"The feeling of wanting to breathe but being unable to must be even more profound!"

When the big man heard them say this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Perhaps he had known about the power of this torture device before, and even used it himself.

"We know that you are from Zhaoyue Country. A few months ago, the Hunting Villa attempted to assassinate the emperor. Are you the mastermind behind this?"

"Let me tell you, we are not patient people."

Mu Ningyuan had already asked his confidant to fetch a basin of water and a stack of yellow rice paper.

The big man's expression became increasingly ugly, but he remained stubborn.

"I don't know. I am indeed from Zhaoyue Country, but I am here to travel!" He continued to make excuses.

Shen Yindi looked at Chu Yan and said with a hint of smile: "Brother Yan, he seems to be quite stubborn. Why don't you show me what the water-stifling method is like? I'm quite curious!"

"Since Adi wants to see it, there is no reason for me to refuse."

"I will demonstrate it to Adi right now!"

"Great! I can't wait to watch it!" Shen Yindi clapped her hands.

How could His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhenbei bear her acting like a spoiled child?

Lord Mu, the Minister of Dali Temple, stood aside and watched the couple singing the same tune, feeling like he had been dealt a heavy blow.

In modern times, this is called being fed a mouthful of dog food.

Chu Yan has always been a man of action. He pushed the basin of water towards the big man.

He was now poisoned by the poison on Shen Yindi's handkerchief. He was completely powerless and unable to move, so he could only be slaughtered.

Chu Yan wet the rice paper in a basin of water, and then covered his face with the papers one by one.

After stamping about ten sheets, he started to feel uncomfortable!

It kept whining.

I struggled hard with both hands, but to no avail.

What’s even more terrifying is that Chu Yan has no intention of stopping, he is still sticking.

The feeling of drowning and being unable to struggle is really uncomfortable.

"Are you going to tell it now?" Shen Yindi asked coldly.

The big man nodded. He knew that if he didn't say it, he might not have a chance.

Chu Yan peeled off the rice paper on his face, and the big man immediately gasped for breath.

After recovering a little, he said in a hoarse voice: "If I tell you, you have to let me go!"

"Ow..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yindi kicked him hard.

"Make it clear that you are not qualified to negotiate terms with us now, understand?"

"We want you dead, and we can kill you anytime!"

"You are now fighting for the chance to survive!" Shen Yindi's voice was icy cold.

Chu Yan thinks his A Di is so cool!

The big man's expression changed again, as if he was considering something.

However, Chu Yan did not give him a chance to consider: "How dare you lie to us, Adi? I don't think he wants a chance to live!"

"I think so too. Then Brother Yan, please continue."

"Speak! I'll tell you!" The big man didn't want to experience the feeling worse than death again, so he spoke quickly.

"This is your last chance. I've just told you that we don't have the patience and time to play with you here!" Shen Yindi reminded.

"Who do you obey in the imperial capital?"

"The third...the third prince." The big man had no choice but to say it.

Several people looked at each other, and a hint of surprise flashed across Shen Yindi's eyes.

At first Shen Yindi thought he was the third prince of Da Chu, but then she realized that her prince was the third child.

"Yu Ruoyang?" Her Third Prince had already asked.

"Yes……"

"Is he in the imperial capital?" Shen Yindi asked immediately.

"No... not here."

"He will send word."

"When you were trying to assassinate the emperor, how did you get into the hunting villa?" This time it was Mu Ningyuan who asked.

He was in charge of investigating the matter at the time, but because none of the assassins were found alive, the case was left unresolved.

"The manager of the hunting lodge arranged for us to go in."

Shen Yindi raised his eyebrows, there was indeed a spy.

She looked at Mu Ningyuan, but found that his face was not good.

"Brother Mu, who is the manager of the Hunting Villa?"

"Luo Feng, the assassination attempt failed that day, and he left a letter to commit suicide out of fear of punishment. The letter said that he neglected his duties and almost caused a disaster. He knew that he was deeply sinful and had no words to face the emperor..."

Another suicide out of fear of crime?

Shen Yindi thought, this letter is full of bullshit!

Maybe he was killed!

"Did you kill him?" she asked directly.

"No...no, we don't know." The big man shook his head.

"Then what mission do you have in the imperial capital?" Chu Yan continued to ask.

"The Third Prince has not given any new instructions for a month and was originally planning to go back."

I didn't expect to be caught.

He felt very unlucky.

"What orders were given before?"

"Before...just...contacted the officials here."

"Who are the officials?" Shen Yindi asked immediately.

Did they finally get some useful information?

The big man himself needed to think for a moment, and then said, "Zhao Hanming, Liu Wenyuan."

Mu Ningyuan thought for a long time before he figured out who it was.

"They are all low-ranking officials. They don't even have the qualifications to attend court."

"Did you know each other before? Or do you need them to do anything?"

"No... I don't know him. He didn't say what he was going to do. He just said he would build a good relationship with him first."

After that, Chu Yan asked a few more questions, but he kept shaking his head and said he didn't know.

Shen Yindi thought, perhaps this is just his role.

She came over, held his chin, and fed him a pill.

"Keep it closed for now, maybe it will be useful later."

"I just gave him some medicine, so he can't commit suicide even if he wants to."

"Ah."

After the interrogation was over, they came out of the secret room.

It was already very late at this time.

Tonight wasn't completely fruitless.

At least we know that Yu Ruoyang's hand has reached the imperial capital.

As for why he wanted to have a good relationship with such a small official, this needs further investigation. Perhaps we can find some clues.

"Let's stop here for tonight, Ning Yuan. I'll have to trouble you to track down those two people." Chu Yan's voice was a little low.

"You don't have to be polite, Yun Yi. This is my job."

"It has to be done as soon as possible. If they find out that this big man is missing, they will definitely take new actions." Chu Yan said in a low voice, thoughtfully.

"Well. Without further ado, I will send someone to investigate tonight." Mu Ningyuan knew the reason behind this.

However, Chu Yan's worries soon came true.
