"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 turned away 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 where the entrance and exit are. There is only one entrance and exit. People here are going to build a road."

"It's gone?"

Qingqing frowned, "It's gone."

"It's been so long that we haven't found a place to imprison His Highness, 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 were slight 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 were tired from work today. Seeing that you didn't eat anything tonight, I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I cooked you a bowl of noodles. If you haven't slept, you can get up and eat."

Qingqing glanced at the person 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."

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

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

Seeing this, the visitor sneered and 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 on earth 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 go to sleep, 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?"

"Go 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 lifted out of the prison by the guards and placed on a wooden bed, and all the doctors from the city have been invited over.

When the people in the room heard the movement, they got up and looked at Su Yun.

"See the city lord."

Su Yu waved his hand to signal them to get up, "What's the situation?"

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

"Back to the city lord, the prisoner didn't have any abnormalities during the day today, but when I went to deliver his food 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 younger one checked his pulse and found that his breathing 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 Yun let go of his hand and opened his pupils to see that the pupils were already showing signs of divergence, and it really seemed that they were about to die.

"Everyone go out and watch outside the door."

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

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

For the time being, he couldn't find the focus of the disease, so he had to 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.

In the end, he found the residue of poison in his nose, and committed suicide by biting the poison?

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!

With a gloomy expression, Su Yu led him out of the space.

Open the door, the sky is bright outside.

"City Master, you are out."

"The city lord is tired."

Su Yun asked, "What did he eat today?"

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

On the table outside was porridge root steamed buns, which looked untouched.

Su Yu 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 Yu 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?"

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

"Who ordered it?"

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

Su Yun pinched the fine powder on the torch, this is an acute poison, one will react, 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 cells in the palace were not usually used, and there were not many guards, and there were only about ten shifts a day, and all of them were brought to Su Shi.

Su Yan's 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 was not in a hurry, she remembered the time in her heart.

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

"The city lord's forgiveness is the poison of the little one."

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

"He, they attacked us before and killed my elder brother. I secretly poisoned the torch in order to avenge my elder brother. I want him to pay for my younger brother's life. I also ask 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 Yu glanced at the guard in charge of the prison cell with heavy eyebrows and eyes, "Judgment."

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