Ye Fuxun suddenly realized that he was really carried away by anger. For someone like the Queen who regards other people's lives as nothing, wouldn't it be a waste of words to tell her this?
"Since the queen has said that if a lowly servant dies, it is no regrets. Then you think about it, she doesn't care at all whether Aunt Zhong is dead or alive?
It just so happened that I suspected that she was working with the two men in black who assassinated me, so I took it upon myself to take her back for interrogation, so as to rule out the suspicion of the Queen, do you think so?"
The queen immediately objected: "No, Aunt Zhong is from this palace. Even if there is suspicion, this palace should interrogate her. How can I let you take her away?"
Ye Fuxun said: "The Queen is so nervous. Could it be that she really has something hidden in her heart? If you were to interrogate her, Aunt Zhong would be cleared of suspicion quickly, right?"
When the queen heard this, she was so angry that her veins popped out, and she said sternly: "How presumptuous! Do you mean to say that I will show favoritism? Huh, I have been in charge of the harem for more than ten years, and I have always enforced the law impartially and have never shown favoritism.
What you say is simply insulting me!"
"But I just can't trust you. I want to interrogate you personally," Ye Fuxun said without any intention of backing down. "If the Queen feels something is wrong, you can tell Father and let him administer justice."
"You..." The queen's face turned green and she was immediately speechless.
The emperor was ashamed of Yu Siling, so he naturally favored her. No matter what request she made, he would agree to it. What's more, this matter also involved the word "assassination", so she had no chance of winning.
Bringing trouble to the emperor would only make herself more susceptible to suspicion.
Ye Fuxun's purpose of bringing Nanny Zhong to the Queen this time was to tell her that Nanny Zhong was in her hands, and she would torture her severely. She wanted the Queen to panic and become confused.
"My son has resigned."
Ye Fuxun took Nanny Zhong away, and the queen thought to herself that if Nanny Zhong couldn't stand the torture and did everything, and Yu Siling made trouble to the emperor again, then she would be done with it.
Therefore, Nanny Zhong must not be allowed a chance to speak.
However, Ye Fuxun will definitely send people to closely guard Granny Zhong, and will definitely set a trap just for her to jump. Therefore, it is unwise to send people to rob the prisoner.
The only way now is to threaten Aunt Zhong so that she does not dare to speak.
After Ye Fuxun returned to Shu Ning Palace, he locked Nanny Zhong into a small room and sent people to guard her.
Ye Fuxun had already figured out the details of Aunt Zhong. She had been working as an errand in the palace many years ago. After the Queen entered the palace, she was transferred to serve the Queen.
Because of her careful thinking and reliable work, she was favored by the queen and selected as her personal maid. In the following decades, she was reused and did many shameful things for the queen.
Grandma Zhong has no relatives. Her parents died long ago, so she grew up dependent on her younger sister. Her younger sister also passed away a few years ago, and now she only has her only son left in her hometown.
She loved her nephew very much and regarded him as her biological son. She was reluctant to use the rewards or other good things she received every year and would always drag others to send them to him.
It can be said that this nephew is Grandma Zhong's only Achilles heel.
"Mother Zhong has been with the Queen for almost thirty years, right?" Ye Fuxun pulled a stool and sat down in front of Mother Zhong, and asked patiently.
"The queen has always valued you so much and regarded you as her right-hand man. I guess the relationship between your master and servant is quite deep?"
Aunt Zhong was tied to a beam, and the only thing that could move was her head.
But she did not raise her head, and just said calmly: "Sixth Princess, there is no need to waste words. I will never betray the Queen under any circumstances."
Ye Fuxun laughed suddenly and clapped her hands: "Ms. Zhong is indeed a loyal person who protects her master. She would rather die than betray her master. There are not many people like you in this world.
It's just a pity that your poor nephew is not married yet and has to go to see the King of Hell at a young age."
"What did you say?" Nanny Zhong suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye Fulun fiercely, "What are you going to do? Don't touch him, he is innocent!"
"Innocent?" Ye Fuxun showed a sinister smile, "Ms. Lin is also very innocent. Wasn't she killed by you too? Wasn't the little princess back then more innocent? Didn't she also escape the disaster?
Aunt Zhong, if you do bad things, you will be punished. Your nephew is indeed innocent, but who made him your relative? This is his life!"
Aunt Zhong really cared about her nephew the most. When Ye Fuxun said that she was going to do harm to him, she immediately flew into a rage. She struggled and yelled: "If you dare to touch him, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"
"
Ye Fuxun smiled and shook his head, sighed, and said: "Why is Aunt Zhong so excited? I didn't say what I would definitely do to him. Aren't I discussing this with you?
How about we make a deal? You can be my witness and tell the emperor about the role the queen played in the little princess case, and I will let your nephew go.
And I will send someone to protect him and bring him to you safe and sound."
Aunt Zhong still said stubbornly: "I will never betray the queen to my death!"
"The queen is quite suspicious. Even if you don't tell her, she probably won't let your nephew go."
The queen will not allow anyone or anything that may threaten her to exist, so she will probably kill them all and eradicate them afterwards.
This is something that makes Grandma Zhong feel chilly just thinking about it.
"I have plenty of time, but you have to make a decision as soon as possible, because the Queen acts very quickly, and if it is too late, it may be too late. I think you don't want your only relative to pass away like this, right?"
After Ye Fuxun finished speaking, he stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he turned back and added:
"Actually, you have done countless things for the queen over the years. The kindness you owe her has been repaid long ago. You don't owe her anything. It's time to think about yourself."
Ye Fuxun left the room and went back to the dormitory to rest. Today, he was slapped by the female man in black, and his chest still hurts. He was afraid that he had suffered serious internal injuries, so he had to sit down and exercise properly to heal his injuries.
However, she underestimated the severity of her injuries. As soon as she raised her breath, her whole chest hurt so much that she couldn't perform any exercises at all. It seemed that she had no choice but to let Qingyu heal her injuries.
Just when he was about to call someone, a slender figure walked in, walked quickly to Ye Fuxun, and asked hurriedly: "I heard that you were assassinated in Beigong, are you injured?"
Ye Fuxun smiled and shook his head: "I have nothing important to do. Bai Yue told you?"
Bai Yuxian's brows furrowed tightly. He grabbed Ye Fuxun's hand and felt his pulse carefully. His expression suddenly changed: "You suffered such severe internal injuries and you still said it was nothing serious? Why didn't you confess to me even though you were injured?"
