Chapter 1309 Invincible
Chu Yan called Fu Zheng aside and asked: “Where did Awu go last night? Who is the person he wants to see? Did you get the so-called list?”
Fu Zheng replied: “Your Majesty, this subordinate has interrogated the Imperial Dragon Guard who was wounded and reported last night. He said that Awu went to a medicine store in the east of the city and met the boss there. The boss gave Awu a secret letter, which contained some information about Purple Blood Vine. Only Awu had read that secret letter, and only Awu knew the contents.”
Fu Zheng used two guns in a row, which made Chu Yan frown again: “So the boss of the medicine store was also killed?”
Fu Zheng nodded: “It’s not just the boss. After Awu left, there were sixteen people in the medicine store, even the seven-year-old child, who have all been silenced.”“There are no clues at the scene?” Chu Yan suffocated his breath. He had been holding this breath since his father was poisoned, and today, he could hardly hold it anymore.
Who exactly is it?
Fu Zheng’s face was also gloomy, he gritted his teeth and said: “Those people should be experienced assassins, they didn’t leave any clues.”
Bai Zhi packed the medicine box, walked to the side of the two, took over the conversation, and said: “So, Brother Awu is the only insider now, and also the most dangerous insider.”
Thinking of Imperial Doctor Xu, she couldn’t help but look back at Zhou Awu and the heartbroken Zhao Sue and Ru’er, then said: “This time, there must be no more mistakes. The murderer must be caught, and Brother Awu must not be in danger again.”
Chu Yan’s eyes flashed, he smiled slightly, and said, “I have a way.”
*Before dusk, Chu Yan returned to the palace.
As soon as he sat down in the imperial study, a eunuch immediately reported that Concubine Meng had come.
What was she here for?
But Chu Yan nodded: “Let her in.”
Meng Changling brought a court lady into the imperial study room, and after saluting to Chu Yan, she pulled a square handkerchief and wiped her eyes: “Your Majesty, I heard that there is news of the murderer, please let me know. Who is the person who poisoned the Supreme Emperor?”
Chu Yan wondered. Why she was very well-informed? Why did she know exactly what he was doing out of the palace? And she even knew what the Imperial Dragon Guards were doing?
Chu Yan turned to look at Eunuch Fu, Eunuch Fu immediately shook his head, expressing that it had nothing to do with him.
The only ones who knew about these things, apart from Eunuch Fu, were the two little eunuchs who usually served close by, one of whom was Eunuch Fu’s godson. Could it be that they leaked it?
“How does Imperial Concubine Meng know about this?” Chu Yan asked.
Meng Changling said: “Answering back the Emperor, I have been here before, but the Emperor is not here, so I asked Eunuch Hai, it was Eunuch Hai who said it.”
Seeing Chu Yan’s complexion, she hurriedly said: “This matter has nothing to do with Eunuch Hai, I forced him to say it, and he had no choice but to—”
Eunuch Hai was Fu Sheng’s godson. Chu Yan glanced at Eunuch Fu coldly. Eunuch Fu hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to speak.
Chu Yan said to Imperial Concubine Meng: “Imperial Concubine, go back first. There is no clue about this matter yet. If there is a result, I will naturally tell you.”
Chu Yan still respected Meng Changling, after all, she was the only concubine who had a close relationship with him.
Seeing his attitude, Meng Changling felt a little relieved, choked up, and retreated.
After Meng Changling left, Chu Yan glanced sideways at Eunuch Fu.
Eunuch Fu hurriedly knelt and kowtowed: “The Emperor please forgive me, this old slave is not strict, please punish me, your highness.”
Chu Yan snorted coldly: “You work as an errand man for the Imperial Family for so long. but you still don’t know what to say and what not to say?”
