Chapter 54 Interrogation
Chu Shiyu stood outside the hall all night, Ye Lanyi coaxed Chu Yun to sleep, and went to Chu Shiyu's side with Yan Qingyao.

"The maid serving the wine is called Liuli," Chu Shiyu pinched the beads on his hand and said, "The wine was tested with a silver needle before it was delivered, so it was she who poisoned it."

Yan Qingyao thought for a while, and said: "When the concubine took the little prince to the delicacy department, she ran into Liuli, but she said to find her brother, so the concubine didn't ask much."

Ye Lanyi sighed, and said, "Prisoner Fu has taken people in. This matter should have been planned for a long time, so we have to investigate it carefully."

Dongzhu was found back, Xia Qiong and she didn't go in, but waited outside the hall for a while.It was still cold at night, Xia Qiong whispered, "Why don't we go take care of the little prince, it's really cold standing here."

Dongzhu shook her teeth and said, "Aren't you going to tell Master?"

Xia Qiong said: "You're all worried about Mr. Right, so let's not bother you. Tell me where you went just now."

Dong Zhu pulled Xia Qiong away slowly, Dong Zhu smiled and said: "It's the second young master of our family, this man is a talent, he said he wanted to see the empress, but he didn't come halfway, saying yes Afraid that the empress would hit him, he turned and ran away."

Xia Qiong smiled and said, "Second Young Master was also very naughty when he was young."

Dongzhu said: "I have been beaten a lot."

Xu Zheng woke up for a while at night, and Chu Shiyu fed the medicine himself, which moved Xu Zheng so much that he burst into tears.Chu Shiyu calmed him down, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Prime Minister, don't worry too much, take care of your body, and talk about everything later."

Xu Zheng couldn't speak, and hummed faintly. He looked at Chu Shiyu with tears in his eyes, couldn't resist the medicine, and fell into a drowsy sleep.

Ye Lanyi took a piece of clothing and draped it over Chu Shiyu's shoulders, and said, "Let the imperial doctor watch over it. Your Majesty will go down and have a rest. There will be morning court tomorrow."

Chu Shiyu pinched his eyebrows and said, "Where is the imperial concubine?"

Ye Lanyi said: "I've already gone to rest, Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace."

Chu Shiyu got up and ordered: "Look carefully at the right minister, if there is any mistake, I will just ask!"

"The ministers obey the order."

Scattered and knelt down a room full of people.

***
Li Xunchuan followed Chu Shiyu's order and came to the prison to help Fu Sisi interrogate Liuli.Before he stepped into the prison, he saw Zhuo Ran walking out of the prison. He coughed lightly and said, "Why did Lord Si Ye come here?"

Zhuo Ran stared straight at Li Yuchuan's waist, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Why did the governor take things from my daughter's house? Not everyone can wear this rabbit sachet."

Li Xunchuan sighed and said, "Why do you say that, why can't I wear this thing if you can wear it? Besides, this sachet belongs to me. When did it become my daughter's property?"

Zhuo Ran approached, she changed into a light-colored dress, Li Yanchuan could see through the lights, Zhuo Ran's hand reached Li Yanchuan's waist, she was not afraid of what people around her would think, she just hung her hand like this, Li Yanchuan frowned.

"The governor doesn't have a knife." Zhuo Ran wanted to take the sachet, so she slowly slid her fingertips like this, and said, "How do we interrogate?"

Li Xunchuan took a step back and said with a smile, "Don't bother with business, it's late at night, you should go back and rest."

Zhuo Ran withdrew her hand, put her back behind her, looked around reluctantly, and said, "Governor, give it back to me, I don't want him to go to jail."

Li Xunchuan frowned, took off the sachet, shook it in his hand, and said, "What does this mean?"

Zhuo Ran stretched out her hand and said, "The governor still wants to interrogate Liuli, I'm afraid His Majesty will be angry if you spend too much time here."

Li Xunchuan approached, looking down at Zhuo Ran's eyes, but his hands walked around her waist, landed on her belt again, carefully hung up the sachet, tilted his head to sniff, and said: "It smells so good. ah."

Zhuo Ran secretly glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "The prodigal son."

Li Xunchuan raised his body and said, "You go, I'm going in."

Zhuo Ran nodded, but heard footsteps coming from behind, she looked back and saw that Fu Sisi and Luo Ling were already standing behind.

Fu Sisi couldn't understand what she saw just now, she frowned and looked at Zhuo Ran, and said, "Xiaqiu hasn't left yet."

Zhuo Ran blinked and said, "I..."

Li Xunchuan said: "Si Ye and I didn't make some things clear. Mr. Prisoner, what's the matter?"

Seeing that Li Yanchuan didn't explain much, Fu Sisi continued to say with interest: "The humble official hasn't interrogated Liuli yet, and the elder brother who took Liuli just now, this person is Fang Hu, the order of the Department of Food and Beverages."

Li Yanchuan said: "Fang Hu? I heard that this person has been staying in the Department of Food and Beverages. I'm afraid I won't be able to ask him anything this time."

Fu Sisi nodded, and said: "I can't explain it clearly just now, please go to the governor, Luo Ling, you can take the confession just now to the governor for review."

Luo Ling leaned over and said, "Yes."

Li Xunchuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Si Ye, are you going with me?"

Zhuo Ran laughed awkwardly, and said, "Governor is really...how can the governor be so humble, there are so many things going on in the Imperial College."

Li Xunchuan smiled, and entered the prison with Fu Sisi.

Li Xunchuan looked at the confession, put his legs up, and said, "Fang Hu meant that he didn't know his sister would do this at all, and Liuli went to him just to ask for money to see a doctor for his mother?"

Fu Sisi sat across from Li Yuchuan. She took the handkerchief Luo Ling handed over and wiped her hands, and said, "What Fang Hu said is indeed reasonable. I asked Luo Ling to check on Fang Hu and Liuli's mother. Mother and father have different fathers, but their relationship is very good. At that time, Liu Li ran to find Fang Hu to get the money, and was almost beaten to death as a thief. Fang Hu kept hiding Liu Li's identity, and he didn't know the motive of Liu Li's poisoning."

Li Xunchuan put down his confession, raised his fingertips and fiddled with the flames on the table. Seeing the flames dangling restlessly under his hands, the shadows of the three of them shattered into pieces. He frowned and said, "Why can't I tell?" account?"

Seeing that the sachet around his waist was missing, Fu Sisi was a little puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask, so she stood up and said, "Governor, let's go and see Liuli with you, there are many things that only she can tell clearly."

Li Xunchuan nodded and said, "Lead the way."

Liuli was tied to a wooden stake, and Chu Shiyu didn't let her be tortured, so Fu Sisi just starved her and waited for her to speak.There was a strong smell of blood here, and when Li Xunchuan entered, he pinched his nose slightly. The last time he came, it was Zhuo Ran who was tied up.

Li Xunchuan was caught back to four years ago in an instant.

Fu Sisi said, "Your Excellency."

Li Xunchuan came back to his senses. He looked at Liuli and said, "Your elder brother doesn't know why you did this. It must be because you are doing things for others."

Liuli was tied tightly, and the hemp rope was tied around her wrists and ankles, and she was faintly bruised. She raised her eyes and looked at Li Yuchuan after hearing the words, without saying a word.

Li Xunchuan simply sat down and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't speak up, I'll speak for you."

Liuli tilted her head.

Li Xunchuan sighed, and said: "I just came from Lianhua Lane and saw you and Fang Hu's mother, she is still lying on the grass waiting for you to go back."

Fu Sisi watched Liuli's movements carefully, but didn't speak, but when she saw Li Xunchuan raised an eyebrow at her, she turned her head to wink at Luo Ling, and sat behind Li Xunchuan.

"Fang Hu is an order from the Department of Food and Food, and his monthly salary is only 50 taels. It is not easy to support himself, his sister, and his elderly and sick mother. You are the little maid of Yiluan Division, and you have never had the opportunity to climb up. You can live by looking at people's faces, and you often go to Huanyan Pavilion to change your identity to earn money. You thought you could hide it for a long time, but Fang Hu found out. He persuaded you not to do such things even if you have no money, but you It’s just that they say yes, and they still sneak up on the bed of the dignitaries behind their backs, just to exchange the few taels of silver, and as time goes on, even Fang Hu doesn’t want to help you anymore.”

Liuli snorted softly, looked at Li Yuchuan, and said, "Is what the governor said useful?"

Li Xunchuan snorted, frowned and said, "What are you in a hurry for, I haven't finished yet."

Fu Sisi curled her fingers slightly, she had seen the sky was getting late, and thought that Li Yuchuan would not come again, but she didn't expect that he went to check Liuli's details and found out so clearly.

Li Xunchuan clasped the table with his fingertips and said, "It's hard to get out of a place like Huanlong Pavilion once you get in. You met an official from Guanglu Temple inside, called Ping'an, right? He's not a big official, but rich , He wholeheartedly wanted to redeem you, and he did not hesitate to lose his family and property, but what happened in the end. He died a terrible death!"

Liuli raised her eyes, and she said with a trembling voice, "Dead...dead?"

"Don't you know?" Li Xunchuan frowned, leaned forward, looked at the tears in Liuli's eyes, and said, "Yo, he's still a lover."

Fu Sisi couldn't understand what Li Yanchuan wanted to do more and more. She looked at Li Yanchuan and said, "Governor, you..."

Li Xunchuan raised his hand to signal her to silence, then raised his voice and said, "You already knew! Because you killed him!"

Fu Sisi stood up.

Liuli shook her head frantically and said, "I didn't! It's not me!"

Li Xunchuan took a few steps forward and said: "That day you asked him out, and you gave him a knife when you were emotional. The knife cut his throat, and the blood splashed all over you. You ran away, but I stopped when I reached Lianhua Lane immediately, because you still have blood on your body."

Liuli was weeping, her eyes full of horror.

Li Xunchuan said: "Someone helped you. He cleaned up these things for you, and he also repaid all the money you owed, but the price was to poison His Majesty at the sacrificial banquet. Am I right?"

Liuli took a long breath, and she began to laugh, laughing more and more maniacally, she said: "There is no proof! What evidence do you have? I didn't poison, I just poured the wine, you just buckle it up for me!" If you are accused of regicide, why do you rely on it?"

"You still refuse to admit it!" Li Yanchuan didn't bother to touch her, just stared at her and said, "Okay, even if what I said is all nonsense, then how can you explain your red nails?"

Nails are dyed inside and outside the palace, colored with flower petals, the color is bright, almost every daughter's family can do it, except for those who do business on weekdays, it is not surprising that girls have different nail colors.

Fu Sisi came over and said: "The people in this prison have inspected it. There is poison on your nails, and it is the same poison as the right minister. How dare you say it's not you!"

Liuli clenched her hands tightly, putting all her eggs in one basket, and shouted: "There is no excuse for committing a crime, so what if I die in prison today! You can't find anything! Hahaha..."

"You bastard!" A heartbroken scream came from beside him: "You don't deserve to be my sister!"
