I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

332 Questioning

“Thirdly, I got someone to secretly release the women from the Song family who was detained in the Imperial City’s government office. They have to come back to congratulate the Old Madam, so naturally, they have to dress up.

However, it just so happened that Madam Song was wearing a dress the same color as yours and was mistakenly brought to the courtyard where the fourth prince lived.

As for the remaining one, I sent the unconscious Song Mingmei to the room where you should have been resting.”

Lu Ze seemed to be afraid that Lin Suisui would worry too much, so he didn’t forget to reassure her. “Don’t worry, I’ve taken all this evidence. When the fourth prince wakes up, someone will naturally send them to him.”

Hearing that Lu Ze had already arranged everything, Lin Suisui heaved a sigh of relief. However, she quickly thought of something else and asked Lu Ze, “Did you see the performance on the stage today?”

“Are you talking about ‘Fairy’s Birthday’?” As soon as Lin Suisui spoke, Lu Ze guessed which performance she was talking about and asked without hesitation.

Lin Suisui nodded as she whispered her suspicion to Lu Ze, “I don’t know if I’m worrying too much, but I keep feeling that it’s a little strange for this troupe that knows witchcraft to appear in Cloud Mountain City at this time.”

“Yes, I’ll arrange for someone to keep an eye on them.” Lu Ze expressed agreement with Lin Suisui.

The two of them chatted about this matter for a while before Lu Ze seemed to have thought of something and asked Lin Suisui, “Last time, you said that you wanted to see that spy who knows how to control the mother Gu. Now that the interrogation is almost over, I’ll bring you over when it’s convenient.”

“Why don’t we do it now?” When Lin Suisui heard Lu Ze’s words, she turned to the window and lifted the curtain to look at the sky outside. It still seemed early, so she turned to Lu Ze and suggested, “If possible, we can go home for dinner.”

Lu Ze didn’t object to Lin Suisui’s suggestion. He instructed Su Qi, who was following outside the carriage, to go to the Imperial City’s government office.

Although she had come to the Imperial City office a few times along the way, this was the first time Lin Suisui had entered the dungeon where interrogators were detained.

Because Lu Ze wanted to bring Lin Suisui over, Su Qi got someone to make some arrangements in advance. However, even so, there was still the smell of blood in the room.

Lin Suisui wore a veiled hat that Lu Ze had gotten for her from somewhere as she walked into the small torture chamber with Lu Ze.

The man tied to the wooden stake had clearly been tortured already.

Therefore, even though he had already been washed, it still couldn’t hide his woeful state.

When he sensed someone coming in, he slowly raised his head. He glanced in Lin Suisui’s direction with his eyelids-less eyes before lowering his head dejectedly.

“I can give you a chance to be freed, as long as you cooperate.” Lu Ze helped Lin Suisui to a seat at the side. Then, he turned around and looked at the man on the torture rack.

“I’ve already said what I needed to say.” The man’s voice was hoarse, like gravel rubbing against the tip of a knife. There was a strong sense of tiredness in his tone, as if he had lost all hope.

“I want to know where the mother Gu in you came from,” Lin Suisui said gently and went straight to the point.

As if sensing the man’s resistance, she paused for a moment before continuing, “You’re a spy from the north who infiltrated the borders of the empire, but it’s strange that you seem to have half the bloodline of the southern Miao people.

Logically speaking, with your identity, it’s impossible for the shaman of the Gu Miao Clan to allow you to master the Gu control technique.

In that case, the mother Gu in your body was planted by someone else, right?”

“How do you know all this?” The man clearly didn’t expect a delicate-looking woman like Lin Suisui to know so much.

He propped his head up with difficulty and sized up Lin Suisui for a long time before sneering. “Heh, I’m definitely going to die now, so even if I tell you, what good will it do me?”

“At least you can be free.” Lin Suisui wasn’t impatient. As she looked at the man who was already on the verge of death, she said gently, “You must have come into contact with voodoo before, so you must know that there are many torture methods that’ll make you wish you were dead.

If you don’t believe me, we can try.

I might not have the ability to torture people, but I have a way to make you feel immense pain. Therefore, I advise you to consider my suggestion just now.”

With that, Lin Suisui stood up and planned to leave with Lu Ze. However, she suddenly thought of something and turned to smile at the man. “Oh, right, I forgot to tell you something.

The mother Gu is still with you. Even if you don’t say anything, I still have a way to strip the mother Gu from your body for my own use.

At most, we’ll spend some effort to investigate the person backing you.”

“If I tell you, will you really stop torturing me?” Before Lin Suisui and Lu Ze could leave the torture chamber, the man tied to the torture rack suddenly stopped them.

“Of course,” Lu Ze turned around and replied with certainty.

“Alright, I’ll tell you.” The man gritted his teeth and panted for a long time before saying, “However, you have to keep your word. As long as I tell you what I know, you can’t torture me anymore!”

Lu Ze nodded and instructed Su Qi, “Su Qi, record what he says word for word.”

Lin Suisui and Lu Ze didn’t stay in the torture chamber for long. They left the dungeon together and walked out of the Imperial City. The snow that had stopped for a few days started again.

When Lu Ze and Lin Suisui returned to the residence, Qian He had already arranged for someone to wait at the entrance.

“General, Madam, Mr. Pei woke up in the afternoon and wants to invite the two of you over to talk.” The servant was very tactful. When he saw Lin Suisui and Lu Ze, he knelt down and kowtowed without hesitation before reporting the purpose of his trip to Lu Ze.

“Go back and tell him that I’ll go over after dinner with Madam,” Lu Ze said as he looked up at the sky. He dismissed the servant.
