Chapter 192 The King Will Protect You
Chapter 192 The King Will Protect You
When Xiao Han arrived without stopping, he heard Chu Nanyue's bold words. He couldn't help but feel proud. She was worthy of being his woman.
Whenever you encounter problems, you have the ability to solve them independently.
What he wants is a woman who can stand on equal footing with him, because his identity is destined to make his life difficult.
He will do his best to protect her, but there will inevitably be times when he cannot take care of her, so Chu Nanyue must be able to save herself before he arrives, but she seems to not need him at all, which makes him feel a little frustrated.
And what about Xiao Junan? Does his woman need his praise?
If you are bored, go find a princess!
The key point is that Chu Nanyue glanced at him and asked, "Are you done with the military camp affairs? Or did you sneak back again?"
Then she smiled and said to Xiao Jun'an, "Prince Yu, you just happened to pass by here on business, right? I'm sorry to make you laugh again!"
Xiao Jun'an's eyes flickered slightly, and he responded loudly: "It's okay. All the affairs of the world are the affairs of the royal family. Moreover, so many innocent people are involved today, and the truth must be revealed to the people. Lord Yao must also want to find out the real culprit immediately, right? Why not give Princess Yan an hour?"
Yao Wenhong looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, investigating and trying cases has always been the responsibility of our Dali Temple. I believe that as a noble prince, you will not use your power to obstruct me from handling cases, right?"
Xiao Hanye stood with his hands behind his back, and glanced at him coldly: "My beloved concubine, please investigate you, I will protect you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards from Prince Yan's Palace rushed forward.
After the last time Xiao Hanye forcibly took Chu Ziyu away from the cell, Yao Wenhong was instinctively frightened.
When this evil Rakshasa gets crazy, he really has no imperial power in his eyes.
Moreover, Prince Yu was obviously on Chu Nanyue's side. With the pressure from the two princes together, he had to make concessions.
"Since Princess Yan has made such a boast, I will waste an hour here!"
He just didn't believe that Chu Nanyue could solve such a big case in just one hour.
Yao Wenhong compromised, but the Sixth Princess would not. What if Chu Nanyue really found out something? But she was also afraid of Xiao Hanye. She hadn't recovered completely from the scratch he had done not long ago.
But she got excited and took out the Panlong Jade Pendant from her bosom: "Seeing the Panlong Jade Pendant is like seeing my father. This princess commands you..."
Unexpectedly, just after she made her opening remarks, she suddenly lost her voice and her eyes were as wide as dead wood.
Xiao Hanye secretly hid the sharp weapon in his hand, clapped his hands, and said loudly: "Sixth sister is indeed righteous. With Sixth sister's Panlong Jade Pendant sitting in Cangyue, I believe that within an hour, the princess will be able to investigate thoroughly!"
His smiling eyes revealed murderous intent.
It was not until Chu Nanyue blinked at him that the murderous intent slowly dissipated.
See, she still needs him!
Seeing that everyone kept their mouths shut, Chu Nanyue looked at Xu Fan.
Xu Fan quickly led the ten waiters to stand in a row, then bowed to Chu Nanyue and said, "Princess Yan, there are only ten of them going in and out of the kitchen today!"
Chu Nanyue nodded, then glanced at the ten waiters one by one.
Anyone who could poison so many soup pots must be busy in the kitchen.
She said in a cold voice: "This princess will give you another chance. As long as the poisoner comes forward, this princess will punish him leniently. But if you let this princess find out, don't blame me for being impartial!"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Yao Wenhong's eyes. If trying a case was so simple, then the Dali Temple would have been disbanded long ago.
The Sixth Princess also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Tsk, how powerful did Chu Nanyue really think she was?
It turns out that the barking dog is just a decoration.
Her eyes rolled around, but her useless bodyguards remained indifferent. Damn, can't they see that I've been acupunctured?
Of course his bodyguards could see it, but the guards of Prince Yan's Mansion were right beside them, so they were powerless.
Although Xiao Hanye had acted very quickly just now, Xiao Jun'an had strong internal strength and a pair of eagle eyes, so he also knew about the Sixth Princess's weirdness. He looked at Xiao Hanye indifferently, with a hint of envy in his eyes.
Although Xiao Han is domineering and arrogant by nature, he is more transparent than most people and he has no scruples.
At this moment, he was using his power to strongly support Chu Nanyue: "Since the princess gave you a chance, you don't know how to cherish it, so don't blame me for my inhumane means later!"
The waiters were all terrified, but no one spoke a word.
Seeing this, Chu Nanyue sighed and called out to Sizhu: "Sizhu, bring the things up!"
"The poison in the soup pot is a little red. What is a little red? My understanding may be a little different from yours. I am analyzing it from a chemical perspective. Once a little red gets on your hands, it is not easy to wash off. You need to use scented soap to wash it off repeatedly. I guess the person who poisoned you must not have the time for that, right?"
Having said this, Chu Nanyue deliberately stopped and carefully examined each waiter in front of her.
Noticing beads of sweat the size of beans on Cang Twenty-three's forehead in the corner, her bright eyes flickered slightly and she continued.
"I'm getting off topic. I'm going to continue. There's an ingredient in Yidianhong called iodine. It will turn red when it comes into contact with flour. Sizhu, give them a test in front of everyone!"
A few of the brave waiters with a clear conscience couldn't help but ask, "Princess Yan, is it really so magical? Can it change color? Let me make a sample for you!"
As they spoke, they stretched out their hands generously.
Sizhu and Xiaotao sprinkled flour on their hands one by one.
After a long while, everyone exclaimed, "My hands didn't turn red."
"Neither do I!"
Cang Ershisan looked at his hands as before and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Yao Wenhong couldn't help but joked, "Princess Yan, you made a big fuss in all seriousness, but ended up fooling everyone like a clown. Since their hands didn't turn red, then follow my orders and take all the people of Cang Yue to the Dali Temple and seal off Cang Yue!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Hanye, and the implication was very clear: please withdraw your troops.
Xiao Hanye turned a blind eye to it. He looked at Chu Nanyue quietly. He thought Chu Nanyue already understood it.
Xiao Jun'an also looked at Chu Nanyue earnestly, predicting that Chu Nanyue would definitely make another move.
As expected, Chu Nanyue smiled: "Who said that this princess is fooling everyone? I have already found the person who poisoned them."
"Who?" everyone asked in surprise.
The people standing outside the gate had their eyes bulging out of their heads, afraid of missing such a great show.
Chu Nanyue gave Sizhu a look, and Sizhu immediately understood. She walked towards Cang Ershisan with great momentum.
Cang Twenty-three was already feeling guilty, and almost couldn't stand. He trembled and said, "Princess Yan... my hand didn't turn red!"
The other innocent waiters also said righteously, "Princess Yan, you don't know that Cang Ershisan would never poison someone. He has always been the most diligent child in the store."
There is a bonus mechanism for Cang Yue employees, and the bonus is twice as high as the salary. Such a high reward is not easy to get, and it all depends on everyone's initiative and enthusiasm.
Everyone can see how hard Cang Ershisan works. He and his younger brother Cang Ershishi have been the top scorer for two consecutive months.
Therefore, in everyone's subconscious mind, they want to protect good employees with positive energy.
Chu Nanyue raised her hand and explained, "Everyone, please be patient. You will know the difference between Cang Ershisan's hand and yours."
Everyone looked over immediately, and after a closer look they finally saw the clue.
All ten of their fingers were smeared with powder, and the back of the thumb and index finger of Cang Ershisan's right hand were stained with a lot of it, but the palm was clean.
He even deliberately spread his hands flat, so no one noticed anything wrong.
Leng Jiu didn't say anything, and went up to knock him hard on the head: "You think our princess' eyes are just for show, and you dare to show off your skills in front of the master!"
After saying that, she directly held his wrist and said sternly: "Xiao Tao, sprinkle it on his front!"
Cang Ershisan couldn't bear it anymore and squatted on the ground in fear: "Princess... Your servant..."
Everyone looked at him with a guilty look on their face. How could they not understand anything?
Xu Fan watched his index finger, which was stained with powder, turn red. He was so disappointed that he stepped forward and said, "Twenty-three, you are so confused. I usually treat you well, and the Princess of Yan is even more so. Whenever she comes, she will bring us laughter and joy. Not only that, your salary is the highest on this street. What else are you not satisfied with? You actually did such a traitorous thing!"
"The Princess of Yan said that as long as you work hard for a year, you can escape from slavery. Isn't this what you and your brother have always hoped for? By the way, where is your brother? Why do I feel like I haven't seen him?"
At this point, Xu Fan remembered that Cang Ershisan seemed to have asked for sick leave for his brother three days ago.
"What's wrong with your brother? Is it serious?"
The people watching outside the gate found that the reality was not at all consistent with what the Sixth Princess said.
Boss Cangyue is very nice to his employees.
Xiao Hanye asked, "Did someone threaten you with your brother's life to poison Cang Yue?"
Chu Nanyue's eyes lit up, she felt that Xiao Hanye had revealed the truth.
She blinked at Xiao Hanye and praised him silently.
Xiao Hanye also raised an eyebrow at her: If Ah Yue wants to praise, just say it openly, and it’s best if everyone can hear it.
Leng Jiu couldn't bear to watch the exchange of glances between the two of them. He said in a sour tone, "My fingers have turned red. The hard evidence is right in front of you, but you still don't tell the truth. Don't forget that you are now Cang Yue's slave. Cang Yue can boil you in oil and eat you without violating the laws of our Bei Xiao Nation!"
Chu Nanyue also said: "Twenty-three, bring your brother here. If he is really sick, this princess can treat him! If he is like what the prince said, you should seek our help. Since the people behind you dare to let you poison Cang Yue, they don't think you can get away with it. Then you will be the scapegoat!"
Chu Nanyue glanced around the scene and her eyes fell on the Sixth Princess whose face was flushed red. This idiot had no internal strength and yet she wanted to break through the acupuncture points?
She guessed that today's incident was probably planned by the Sixth Princess, otherwise she would not have dragged Yao Wenhong here at the first moment.
The Sixth Princess was so focused on acupuncture that she couldn't speak, but Yao Wenhong could: "Since Princess Yan has found out who poisoned her, then leave the rest to me. As long as we go to the Dali Temple, I believe that within an hour, I can make him confess the real culprit behind the scenes."
Xiao Hanye smiled faintly and said in a cold voice: "Master Yao, didn't you hear what my beloved concubine said just now? The waiters of Cang Yue are all death contracts. The master can decide their fate at will!"
Xu Fan immediately stood up and took out Cang Ershisan's death deed for Yao Wenhong to check.
Yao Wenhong's face turned pale when she saw this!
Chu Nanyue chuckled: "Twenty-three, now there are two choices in front of you. The first is that I abandon you and hand you over to Lord Yao. I will torture you severely. You will not survive, and your brother will die! The second is that you confess the truth, and I will give you a lighter sentence, and there is still a 50% hope that I can find your brother!"
Cang Twenty-three looked at Chu Nanyue and became extremely troubled.
Seeing him struggling, the other waiters couldn't help but persuade him, "Twenty-three, please confess quickly. Don't be stupid and go to the Dali Temple, where you and your brother will end up dying innocently!"
"We all know what kind of person Princess Yan is. She will never give up on anyone!"
Of course, Cang Twenty-three trusts their Princess Yan more.
He knelt down and kowtowed three times to Chu Nanyue, and said with a sense of relief: "Princess Yan, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to harm our Cang Yue, but that person kidnapped my brother and threatened his life, so I had no choice but to obey her orders!"
"Who?" Chu Nanyue asked.
Cang Ershisan shook his head regretfully: "She gave the order to me with her back to me, so I don't know what she looks like, but she is a woman!"
Chu Nanyue frowned: "I see that the Sixth Princess' face is red, it seems that she is tired of standing, you go and help the princess sit down and rest!"
This is a difficult situation. I don't know the person, I just heard his voice. This damn vague feeling is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Let's try my luck.
Cang Twenty-three didn't understand why Chu Nanyue suddenly changed the subject and turned to the Sixth Princess, but as a private slave, how could he dare to serve the high and mighty princess?
Therefore, before he even got close to her, he was scolded by the servant beside the Sixth Princess.
"How dare you! Our princess is of noble status, how can a slave like you touch us casually!"
Cang Ershisan's eyes lit up instantly, and he suddenly understood what Chu Nanyue meant.
"Princess Yan...it was she who asked me to poison you!"
He pointed at the green hat next to the Sixth Princess and shouted excitedly.
Xiao Hanye and Xiao Junan's eyes both emitted an alluring light.
The green-hatted girl's face suddenly turned pale and blue. She stiffened her neck and said in defense, "You are talking nonsense and speaking dirty words. You have never seen the person behind the scenes, so how can you recognize me? I think you are desperate and are just trying to find a way to cure your illness!"
Cang Ershisan explained, "Although I didn't see your face that day, it amplified my hearing. I remember your voice, it was you, and judging from your height and body shape, there's no difference!"
"It's ridiculous that you can recognize someone just by their voice!" The cuckold gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.
She looked at the Sixth Princess, begging her to say a few good words for her, but her Sixth Princess was like a wooden figure, not moving at all.
At this time, a female voice came from outside the door.
"It's you. You still refuse to admit it. I saw your face that night!"
Hearing the voice, Chu Nanyue's eyes flashed with a strange light. The person who came was Liu Zhu, and Xiao Tao was also a little confused.
Is that sharp-tongued servant turning over a new leaf?
