Chapter 716 Silence

PreviousBack to directoryNext
   "Missing?" Zu An raised his eyebrows. In fact, this was expected. How could such a key figure continue to stay there for people to investigate.

 As for whether he was really missing or silenced, he was even more inclined to the latter.

It’s a pity that I’m behind bars now and have no other skills. I can’t investigate this kind of thing by others.

“By the way, do you know what’s going on with Concubine Bai of Baihua Palace?” Zu An asked hurriedly.

Ch Chu Chu’s autumn-like eyes showed a hint of guilt: “The time is too short, and it is something deep in the palace, I don’t have time to check it out.”

Zu An held her hand: "I'm too anxious. You don't need to worry about this matter. Let's wait for news from the Queen first."

"What is your relationship with the Queen? Why..." Chu Chuyan's cold eyes were full of puzzlement, "Why did she look so strange after knowing that I came here for you, especially after hearing those words of yours?

After that, not only was he no longer angry, but he became kinder to me."

Zu An smiled slightly: "The queen probably owed me a favor before, so she will find a way to save me this time, so don't worry too much."

Chu Chuyan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

After the two of them talked for a while, Chu Chuyan hurriedly left. She clearly understood the importance of staying here and knew that there was no point in staying here. She wanted to go out and mobilize her connections to find a way to save people. She could not put all her hopes aside.

Put it on the queen.

Zu An was moved and reminded her not to seek medical treatment in a hurry and be deceived by some people with ulterior motives.

 At the same time, he told her that he had a trump card and that there was a high probability that he would be able to get through the difficulties this time.

 After all, he had watched too many bloody TV dramas in the previous world, and he didn’t want Chu Yan to do anything stupid to save himself.

Chu Chuyan is also an extremely smart person. He immediately realized what he meant, blushed and spat: "What kind of random thoughts are you having in your mind?"

Then her cheeks showed a smile as if the ice had just melted: "I know you care about me, don't worry, I was in charge of the Chu family in the past few years, and I have never seen any conspiracy."

Zu An was relieved at this moment: "I have forgotten that my dear wife is a proud daughter of heaven who takes on her own role, haha."

After all, there were some jailers not far away. Chu Chu was so young-faced that he really couldn't handle being called "kiss my wife" and so on, so he left as if running away.

A group of jailers came over to him with envious expressions to learn about the art of controlling wives. While Zu An was bragging to them, he also asked them about matters in the palace.

"White Concubine? Bai Concubine has always lived in seclusion. Not many people know her current situation."

“I heard that her personal maid has been missing for several days.”

“Not necessarily. Now that something big has happened in the East Palace, Baihua Palace must keep a low profile. It’s normal for the personal maid not to show up.”

“Speaking of something really happening to the Crown Princess, Concubine Bai is the most likely candidate to become the Crown Princess.”

 …

Hearing the chatter among the jailers, Zu An was thoughtful.

 After a while, he asked again: "What is the situation of the Crown Princess now? Haha.

 (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

 Hehe, this question is a bit sensitive. After all, she and I are both involved in the case. If it’s not convenient for you to answer, you don’t have to say anything.”

The jailers looked at each other, and then someone smiled and said: "Master Zu, you are too polite. We all know that you and the Crown Princess were unjust, so it is no big deal to tell you this."

"That's right. Yesterday, the palace asked the nun to check the body of the Crown Princess. There was no sign of the Crown Princess being violated by a man."

“It’s more than that. I heard that the Crown Princess is still a virgin.”

“Isn’t this possible? The prince and the princess have been married for so long, how can they still be virgins?”

 “Our prince…”

 …

If only he had rescued the Tianlao assassin who escaped from prison before, they might not have dared to say so much. The main reason was that they had received news that the Crown Princess was innocent, so they felt safe and bold to discuss this with him.

Zu An coughed and said, "You guys must be careful, I believe this is some gossip spreading random information to smear the prince. You must not fall into the trap."

Several jailers suddenly realized: "That's it, Mr. Zu saved us again."

 A group of people expressed their gratitude timidly, and Zu An fell into deep thought after saying a few words.

I didn’t expect that the Crown Princess didn’t lie to me. She was actually a virgin after being married for so many years. However, if the news was exposed at this time, she would probably have a lot of trouble in the future.

 Should the emperor not be so unwise as to expose her virginity?

Could it be that she is from the lineage of King Qi? But doesn’t this clear her suspicion of being involved in this incident?

 He thought for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. He always felt that it was not that simple behind the scenes.

Time passed unknowingly, and the chatting jailers had already dispersed. Zu An was sitting alone in the cell thinking about the whole thing.

 “It’s time to eat, it’s time to eat!” A jailer came over, put down a food box, and turned to leave.

  Unexpectedly, he would eat prison food so quickly. Zu An looked at the big bowl in front of him, because the prisoners in the sky jail were not ordinary prisoners, and the food was not bad.

 At least the white rice is adequate, with some vegetables and a bit of meat in it.

 After running around all night, I was really hungry. Zu An picked up the bowl and was about to devour it.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he looked up at the departing jailer: "Wait a minute!"

 “What’s wrong?” The jailer turned around, his tone a little impatient.

Zu An looked him up and down: "Why do you look unfamiliar? Why haven't I seen you before?"

The jailer said, "I've just been transferred here."

Zu An smiled slightly: "Can you please help me call General Guo? I remembered important information and wanted to report it to him."

The jailer said impatiently: "Eat your food, General Guo has no time to see you."

 After saying that, he cursed and left.

Zu An looked down at the rice in the bowl and fell into deep thought.

 (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

I don’t know how long it took, but General Guo Zhi of the Right Guard came over with a group of people: “Brother Zu, Lord Zongzheng, they want to interrogate you.”

Zu An lay motionless in the cell.

Guo Zhi shouted several times without responding, and his expression changed: "Something happened!"

He hurriedly opened the cell door and rushed to Zu An. Seeing his face covered with bruises, he hurriedly shouted: "You're poisoned. Call the doctor quickly!"

The jailers hurriedly ran out, while Guo Zhi hurriedly used his strength to try to force out the poison for Zu An.

 At this time Zhen Xueyi, Jiang Boyang, Murong and others also came after hearing the news:

"What happened?"

 “Zu An was poisoned?”

 “What do you do for food?”

 …

 The frightened and angry voices of the three old men came.

At this time, Zu An, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sat up: "I'm fine."

"Ah?" Guo Zhi looked confused. Wasn't this guy dying just now?

Zu An smiled apologetically at him: "Thank you, Brother Guo, for saving me. It was my helpless move just now."

 He was suspicious when he saw the unfamiliar jailer before. After saving the demon cult assassin last time, he knew almost all the jailers in the sky prison. During this time, everyone was bragging and spanking together, and the relationship between the two parties was good.

Even if a new jailer does come, it is impossible for such an important prisoner to be sent away by new guards.

There must be something wrong with that person!

Zu An’s first reaction was that someone wanted to silence him, but he was not sure who wanted to silence him.

 In fact, the biggest suspect is Guo Zhi. After all, Tianlao is his territory, and no one is more suitable than him to take action.

 So he did not dare to say anything at the time and could only pretend to be poisoned.

  When Guo Zhi came in, he was already on high alert in case he saw that he was still alive and struck a blow.

When the other party forced poison on him, he secretly used the Taotie Devouring Heaven Technique. Once Guo Zhi's true energy tried to hurt him, he immediately sucked all the opponent's energy away. However, he did not expect that the other party's true energy was peaceful. Indeed,

He was the one who forced the poison for him.

Even so, he did not dare to be careless. He could only wait until Jiang Boyang and others arrived at the scene before getting up.

Now he can't trust anyone. Relatively speaking, Jiang Boyang is more trustworthy. After all, he has a relationship with the beautiful principal.

Of course, he would not completely trust the other party just because of this. The main reason is that these three nine ministers represent the forces of all parties. They supervise and balance each other, and no one can do anything.

Murong Tong suddenly frowned: "Zu An, what are you doing?"

Zu An sighed and pointed to the bowl of rice buried in the straw pile in the corner: "Someone wants to poison me."
