"How did you come?"

Looking at the two, Qingqing's face darkened slightly.

The visitor said coldly: "If I don't come, you will almost regard yourself as the daughter-in-law of this family. Have you found any news?"

Qingqing suppressed the strange look in her eyes, "How can people be so easy to deceive? Shouldn't I gain their trust first? I got two pieces of news today. I know the location of the entrance and exit here. There is only one entrance and exit. Besides, People here are going to build a road."

"Is it gone?"

Qingqing frowned, "It's gone."

"It's been so long since we haven't found the place where His Highness is being held. How should we explain it when the master asks?"

"I will continue to inquire about the news, and you are also trying to inquire in the city."

While speaking, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, and the nerves of both of them became tense.

The visitor drew out a sharp knife and hid behind the door, ready to strike at any time.

"Qingqing, are you asleep?"

The two looked at each other, Qingqing clasped the knife-like hand of the visitor and replied: "Ma'am, I haven't slept yet, I'm going to lie down, what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just thought that you are tired from work today. Seeing that you haven't eaten anything tonight, I'm afraid you will be hungry, so I cooked you a bowl of noodles. If you haven't slept, just get up and eat."

Qingqing glanced at the person who came and refused: "Ma'am, I've already fallen asleep, you can eat this side by yourself."

"My aunt is not hungry, don't be polite to her, this aunt has put it outside for you, so hurry up and eat it."

After the bowl was put down, there was the sound of the aunt's footsteps drifting away.

After hearing the sound of the aunt's closing the door, Qingqing opened the door and brought the steaming bowl of noodles into the room.

The person who came saw this and sneered, took out a bottle of medicine from his body, opened it and poured it in.

"It's just cheap stuff, you won't be moved, will you?"

Qingqing tensed her face, "What the **** are you trying to say tonight? You said I didn't find out until now, did you find out? We only have half a month, if we can't find His Highness, you and I don't have to go back gone."

The face of the visitor turned gloomy in an instant, and he stared at her coldly and said, "You are a shady mouse in the gutter, you better not forget not to think about things that cannot belong to you, and complete the task as soon as possible, otherwise you and I Don't even think about it!"

The two of them didn't notice that the tall figure was hidden in the dark corner of the wall. When the people in the room came out and left, he watched the whole process.

At night, just as Su Yu was about to fall asleep, the Green Protector came to report that Xie Rui had fallen ill.

Su Yu lay on the bed without moving, "Are you going to die?"

"Back to the city lord, it looks like he is going to die."

Su Yan opened his eyes abruptly, sat up from the bed and followed the green protector to the palace prison.

Xie Rui has been carried out of the prison by the guards and placed on a wooden bed, and all the doctors from the city have been invited over.

People in the room got up and looked at Su Chen when they heard the movement.

"See the castellan."

Su Yan waved his hand to signal them to get up, "What's going on?"

She walked to the bed and saw that Xie Rui's face was swollen, and she couldn't see the original appearance at all.

"Returning to the city lord, the prisoner didn't have any abnormalities during the day today, but when I went to deliver his meals at night, he was found lying on the ground without moving. When I went in, I found that his face had changed."

The doctor stepped forward and said: "The little one checked his pulse and found that his breath was very weak, and he seemed to be dying soon."

Su Yu touched Xie Rui's pulse. Xie Rui is still useful to her now, so she didn't plan to kill him now. The meals are normal twice a day, and she also asked the doctor to treat his injuries so that he would not let him go. Dead, how did he become like this for no reason?

Su Yan let go of his hand and pulled his pupils away to see that the pupils were already showing signs of divergence, and it really seemed that they were going to die.

"Everyone get out and stand guard outside the door."

The people present didn't dare to ask more questions, and retreated to the door one after another, closing the door behind them.

Su Yu made sure that Xie Rui would not wake up and took him into the space for further examination, and found that various organs of his body had begun to fail.

No focus can be found for the time being, so he can only save his dog's life first.

After a series of treatments, Xie Rui's vital signs gradually stabilized.

Su Yu began to look for the root cause of the disease.

Finally found the residue of poison in his nose, bit the poison and committed suicide?

Su Yu didn't believe it, Xie Rui would have died if he wanted to, the only possibility is that someone poisoned him, someone wanted him to die!

Su Yan took him out of the space with a gloomy expression.

Open the door, the sky outside is bright.

"City Lord, you are here."

"The city lord is suffering."

Su Yun said: "What did he eat today?"

"Back to the city lord, it's just a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns, and dinner is also porridge and steamed buns, but I didn't eat at night, and they were all placed on the table outside."

On the table in the outer room, there are porridge root steamed buns, which look untouched.

Su Yan picked it up and checked it. There was no problem. The poison was found in his nose, and the poison was probably inhaled through his nose.

Su Yan came to Xie Rui's cell and checked it up and down, and then found a problem in the torch in the cell.

"Who lit this torch?"

"Returning to the city lord, you don't light the torch in normal times, but you will go in and light it when you go to deliver food to check the prisoner's situation."

"Who ordered it?"

"It's the guard who delivers the meals."

Su Yan squeezed the fine powder on the torch. This is an acute poison, and one will have a reaction. That is to say, the poison must have been injected today.

"Go, let all the guards in the prison come over today, the city lord has something to ask."

"yes."

The prison cells in the palace are not usually used, and there are not many guards. There are only about ten shifts a day, and everyone is brought to Su Shi.

Su Yan's phoenix eyes were heavy, and he swept across their faces coldly, "The lord of this city gives you a chance to confess your guilt automatically. Whoever poisoned the prisoner, stand up, and I will give you a quarter of an hour to weigh the pros and cons."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Su Yu is not in a hurry, she remembers the time in her heart.

When the quarter of an hour was about to arrive, a man came out of the line and knelt in front of Su Shi.

"The city lord forgives the sin, it is the poison of the little one."

Su Yun's brows and eyes darkened, "Why?"

"He, they attacked us before and killed my elder brother. I wanted to avenge my elder brother, so I secretly poisoned the torch. I wanted him to pay for my younger brother's life. I also asked the city lord to forgive me."

"Poisoning a prisoner to death without authorization, do you know what crime this is!"

"Damn the little one, the little one knows that he has wronged the city lord, please forgive the little one this time."

Su Yan glanced at the guardian in charge of the prison cell with heavy eyebrows and eyes, "trial."

Lan Hufa stepped forward and responded, "Yes, this subordinate will definitely give the city lord a satisfactory answer."
