Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1836: Chapter 1833: Interrogation

Openly using the other party’s people as free guards, a good opportunity to take advantage should not be missed.

Perhaps it’s Lu Sangqi’s gentle attitude, which makes the Elder Princess respond to him with some warmth.

“By the way, Your Highness, regarding the Southern Border medical book we mentioned last time, do inform me when you find it.” Lu Sangqi thought of the medicine the Southern Border Witch Doctor used on Ye Muyu, his eyes narrowing slightly, realizing that the medical skills from the Southern Border indeed needed thorough research. Perhaps it might be useful in the future, at the very least, he could devise preventive medicine.

The Elder Princess, seeing his straightforward request, thought of the Young Prince’s condition and was in a good mood after all. Adding to it the previous punishment the Commandery Prince inflicted on Lu Sangqi, she didn’t hesitate much and nodded in agreement.

“Rest assured, I will try my best to collect them.” The Elder Princess nodded and said.

“Does Doctor Lu have any thoughts on the Young Prince’s health?”

When it came to serious matters, Lu Sangqi also became earnest, providing several routines for maintaining health, advising to wait until the Young Prince’s condition stabilizes. After he awakens, to be combined with dietary therapy.

The Sacred Girl of Southern Border, dressed in maidservant’s attire, stood in the dilapidated courtyard of the Princess’ Mansion. After walking in briskly, she shut the door with her hand.

Soon inside the room, another voice sounded.

“Someone…” a female voice, somewhat angry.

The Sacred Girl of Southern Border felt a thud in her heart and instinctively wanted to turn and leave, only to see the rickety wooden door being pushed open, and the two of them were caught red-handed inside.

Seeing the person leading, the Sacred Girl’s composed expression changed slightly, suddenly murmuring, “It’s you…”

Chu Heng entered from outside the door, his chiseled handsome face devoid of expression, with indifferent eyes lingering on her face for just a moment. He raised his hand, and immediately the guards came in.

The two were subdued.

As the Sacred Girl passed by him, she suddenly asked, “Did Lord Chu also take away the Witch Doctor?”

Chu Heng replied indifferently, “You shouldn’t have touched her.”

There was no denial, his voice full of coldness, blatantly protecting, with a very clear stance.

The Sacred Girl paused for a moment, couldn’t help but look at him, and said, “Madam Chu is truly fortunate to have met you.”

Chu Heng didn’t answer, his eyes slightly downcast, using a cold and polite demeanor to express his meaning.

Fortunate?

The fortunate one was clearly him.

Chu Heng couldn’t help but let the corner of his mouth rise.

The Sacred Girl, due to his indifferent attitude, had a slight stiffness in her expression, seeing that he didn’t even deign to spare her a glance, a trace of loneliness flashed across her face.

Soon, she was pushed away.

Xiao Tianhao walked over from the side, couldn’t help but pat his shoulder, “Lord Chu, thanks to you today, if it weren’t for you, I might not have been able to catch those people.”

“Now that you’ve caught them, interrogate properly, this is no small matter.” Chu Heng glanced at him lightly, reminded him, then turned and walked out.

Xiao Tianhao touched the tip of his nose, “I know, thank you.”

He tiptoed, watching Chu Heng leave, feeling joyous, not just because the mission was completed, but also because working with Chu Heng made the tasks the Emperor entrusted to him always go smoothly.

The Sacred Girl of Southern Border was taken into prison.

Chu Heng told Ye Muyu that he had been busy for several days and might not be able to return.

Ye Muyu then prepared meals at home, specially arranging for lunch to be sent to him.

Xiao Tianhao and Chu Heng stood in front of the cell, looking at the woman in front of them.

Xiao Tianhao said, “This person confessed, saying she was someone close to the former Saintess.”
