The emperor's uncle is the only favorite: the mysterious doctor's crazy concubine is going

Chapter 191 Confrontation
  The silence in the room continued, except for the sound of breathing.
  Jing Muling sneered and asked Shen Heshan: "How do you think the matter should be handled?"
  Shen Heshan sweated on his forehead and hesitated: "Perhaps one of the two has lied, and the interrogation should continue..."
  "Did you hear what Master Shen said?" Jing Muling didn't wait for Shen Heshan to say anything else, and said to the guard: "Continue to interrogate the two of them until they tell you useful information!"
  When Yu Qinglian heard this, she bravely intervened and said, "Your Highness, King Yu, is it possible that what they said is the truth?"
  "It's true that the confessions of the two people don't match up?" Jing Muling sneered: "You are still the wife of the Taishifu, so you are short-sighted!"
  Yu Qinglian was so choked that she still dared to say anything. She looked at Shen Xinyu silently, her eyes anxious, hoping that she would come up with an idea.
  Shen Xinyu didn't expect that Jing Muling would come to the Grand Master's Mansion on the Ghost Festival. She had no preparations and was no less anxious than Yu Qinglian.
  Everyone waited in silence for the news. Shen Zhuoxi suddenly spoke and said to Jing Muling: "Your Majesty, I know that there is a sweetheart in Cuiping who works in the accounting office of the Taishi Mansion."
  "Since torture can't cure her, it's better to let her think about it and try to persuade her. Otherwise, it will be effective."
  "Okay, just follow what you said." Jing Muling waved her hand and told Zhengqing: "Follow the eldest lady's instructions and go find that sweetheart!"
  "Yes." Zhengqing responded. According to Shen Zhuoxi's words, he quickly found Chen Lun in the accounting room.
  Chen Lun looked timid and fearful. He heard early in the morning that Cuiping had been arrested and was being interrogated about his words and deeds. When he was summoned, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. He kept crying and kept saying that it had nothing to do with him.
  Regardless of whether it had anything to do with him or not, Jing Muling immediately asked Zhengqing to send him to Cuiping.
  The place where Cuiping was interrogated was in a small room behind Jing'an Court. After all, she was a woman. She didn't have to be tortured too cruelly. Her whole body was still intact, but there were a lot of blood stains on her clothes.
  The person didn't know whether he couldn't hold on or something happened, but he fainted a long time ago.
  As soon as Chen Lun entered, he was so overwhelmed by the smell of blood that he covered his nose.
  After hearing Zhengqing's purpose, the nun in charge of the interrogation took a ladle of cold water and poured it on Cuiping, asking, "Do you recognize him?"
  Cuiping's mind was confused, and there were still water stains on his face. When he opened his eyes and saw Chen Lun, he burst into tears. He didn't dare to cry loudly, so he kept suppressing his throat and kept saying,
  After all, he had feelings. Chen Lun felt uncomfortable seeing her like that, and couldn't bear to say: "You'd better recruit her quickly to avoid suffering. I believe that since you have been serving the eldest lady for a long time, the Grand Master's Palace will not really kill you."
  "I can't say it." Cuiping gritted his teeth, holding back the pain all over his body, and said with tears in his eyes: "Once I say it, you and I will both be in trouble."
  Chen Lun obviously had something to say, but due to the presence of the two interrogators and Zhengqing, he started to talk but couldn't speak.
  After Zhengqing noticed it, he said, "Do you have something to say to Cuiping?"
  "Yes." Chen Lun forced a smile and said: "I want to persuade her privately, but there are many words that are not suitable for others to hear. I wonder if you can do it conveniently?"
  Zhengqing glanced at Cuiping, who was tied to the pillar, and warned Chen Lun: "You can't loosen her ties. If she commits suicide, or there are consequences, you and your family will have to take her place!"
  "Yes, yes." Chen Lun responded hurriedly and said: "Just a few words, don't worry, I don't dare to make fun of myself and my family."
  After Zhengqing left with the two nuns, Cuiping and Chen Lun were the only ones left in the house.
  Cuiping couldn't bear it anymore and sobbed: "I hurt so much!"
  "I know you're in pain, but there's no way you can endure it like this. There are many ways to extract a confession." Chen Lun didn't dare to loosen her bonds, and he didn't dare to look her in the eye, and said, "You'd better do it."
  "His Royal Highness King Yu is sitting outside. He will not leave until the reason is found out. Moreover, he has invited an imperial doctor to wait outside. He will not let you die. Why should you suffer?"
  Cuiping's expression twisted in pain, and she sighed: "I also want to say it, but Xiaojie has said before that no matter what time, we maids cannot betray her."
  "Otherwise, she will not let go of any of our family members. I have been with the eldest lady for many years, and I know that she will do what she says, so I don't dare to risk it!"
  Chen Lun was anxious and angry: "You're confused, if you don't tell us now, will the Taishi Mansion let us go?"
  There were tears on Cuiping's face, and he said in despair: "Just keep enduring, there will always be times when you can't endure it anymore, and it will be easier if you die."
  Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Chen Lun glanced behind him to make sure Zhengqing and the others were not eavesdropping. He took a few steps closer to Cuiping and whispered, "To be honest, I'm afraid there will be trouble here."
  "You also know that I made a lot of false accounts for the eldest lady and the eldest lady. Now that the eldest lady is under investigation, I will definitely be implicated soon. Why don't you confess to the eldest lady now."
  "When I expose what the eldest lady and the eldest madam have done secretly, I can still save my life, otherwise... everyone will die!"
  Cuiping looked at Chen Lun in shock: "So, you want me to confess the eldest lady to protect you?"
  "It's not about protecting me, it's about protecting us." Chen Lun was very anxious and looked back: "The Grand Master's Mansion will definitely not kill you. I will resign after I expel you."
  "The two of us are getting married and leaving this place of right and wrong. The money we saved earlier is enough for us to open a small teahouse elsewhere to make a living. No matter what we go out to do, it is better than worrying here!"
  The future described by Chen Lun moved Cuiping a little.
  But soon, she realized: "What if I can't defeat the eldest lady and eldest lady?"
  "If you can't bring them down in one fell swoop, we have time to escape." Chen Lun said cruelly, "I thought something was going to happen a few days ago, so I bought a bullock cart in advance. When you come out, we will leave here overnight."
  "The Grand Master's Mansion is in chaos. He will definitely not be able to spare the energy to find us. It's better to just go to a remote mountain and old forest than to die."
  At this time, Cuiping was completely convinced and responded: "Okay, I will confess in a moment, but you must wait for me at home at night."
  "Absolutely." Chen Lun stretched out his hand to hold Cuiping's hand, his eyes touched her fingers that had been pinched, but he could not bear to withdraw, and said: "Waiting for your news."
  Chen Lun called Zhengqing in and said, "Sir, I have already persuaded you. If you go in and interrogate now, you will be able to find out soon."
  Zhengqing was doubtful and signaled to the two women to continue the interrogation.
  Sure enough, before asking, Cuiping took the initiative to admit that she was taking orders from the eldest lady.
  The confession was quickly passed to the front hall, and Zhengqing took it personally and read it to Jing Muling.
  Before a testimony was finished, Shen Xinyu stood up from the chair and defended: "That's nonsense. As the eldest daughter of the Taishi Mansion, how can I send someone to burn down the ancestral hall?"
  "Cui Ping must have been bewitched by someone, or took advantage of someone to frame me!"
  "Since the eldest lady refuses to admit it, let's bring Cuiping to confront her." Jing Muling sat calmly and said calmly: "After all, there is no basis for what you say!"
