Shengjing Noble

Chapter 304 Both jade and stone are destroyed

He collapsed and squatted on the ground, covering his face and crying.

"I really don't know... I fell asleep in a daze that time, and when I woke up, Jiang Xuan was next to me... I... I was very scared... This relationship has been bothering me, so much so that I dare not face my father, and can only spend my days drinking and partying outside..."

Su Lanyin adjusted her mentality and tried to ask calmly, "Were you and Jiang Xuan before or after Muzi was sold?"

"Before... at the family dinner that day, my father drank too much, and my second aunt accompanied him to sleep. I was also drunk and unconscious, and then I remember Jiang Xuan sent me back to my room... I really don't know anything about what happened next."

"What about the next day?"

"The next day I woke up and found Jiang Xuan sitting on the bed crying. She said I forced her, but I didn't remember anything! She insisted on going to tell my father, so I hugged her and wouldn't let her go..."

"Later, she seemed to realize that if such a scandal got out of hand, it would be bad for everyone, so we tacitly kept this secret in our hearts and no one mentioned it again."

Su Lanyin leaned against the prison door, countless thoughts flashing through her mind, she just felt that this matter was not that simple.

"What happened next? Did you continue to pester me?"

"At that time, I was very ignorant about love. After having sex with her, I was ashamed and didn't dare to see her. Fortunately, Muzi was with me, and I gradually forgot about it."

"But I never expected that she would hold a grudge against Muzi because of this. She killed Muzi's parents while I was away and sold Muzi to a brothel. Fortunately, Cuiyun sent a pigeon to deliver the letter, otherwise Muzi would not have survived."

"It seems that she cares about you a little bit?" Su Lanyin asked.

"I don't know, but I'm sure that she hated my father very much over the years. Sometimes I even wondered if she did this on purpose just to piss off my father."

"But later I gave up the idea because she didn't make it public and my father didn't know about it, so I thought maybe it was just an accident and I was sorry for her."

As Kang Chenxi spoke, his tone became more and more gloomy.

Su Lanyin shook her head: "No, Jiang Xuan didn't expose this matter, but it doesn't mean she is innocent. Maybe she is doing this for her son's reputation? What's more, her purpose is to control you, not to perish with you."

After hearing her analysis, he felt that it made some sense.

"What should we do now? Even if Jiang Xuan and I have something going on, what does this have to do with Mu Zi's death?"

"I don't know yet, but Jiang Xuan might have some feelings for you, so she is still a big suspect in the murder of Mu Zi."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the jailer outside urging Su Lanyin to go out.

She said quickly, "Just wait patiently. I will rescue you in two days at most."

"Okay, then can you keep this secret? If it were to be made public, I'm afraid my father wouldn't be able to bear it."

"Well, don't worry."

Su Lanyin nodded at him, then turned and left the cell.

……

Kangfu.

When he returned to his residence, Fu Wuyang had been waiting for a long time and was enjoying the snacks on the table.

Seeing this, Su Lanyin walked over and held his hand: "Your Highness, please stop eating."

"What? You can't even bear to eat a few bites of your snacks? Are you so stingy?" Fu Wuyang pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, have you had enough of living? You eat the food on the table without knowing who sent it?"

"What do you mean?"

"This was sent by Feng Piaopiao."

"Her? Why would she send you snacks?"

"If someone is too attentive to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Maybe she has poisoned you."

Upon hearing this, Fu Wuyang immediately threw away the snack in his hand, picked up the teapot beside him and drank it.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Su Lanyin couldn't help but find it funny to see how much he cherished his life.

"I just came back, didn't I tell you?"

"No... there's no real poison in it, right?"

Fu Wuyang pulled her and asked nervously.

"I don't know." She curled her lips, looking helpless.

Now he panicked and quickly exposed his wrist and held it in front of her.

"Aren't you the disciple of that Divine Doctor Xue? Show yourself to me!"

"dont see."

Su Lanyin turned her head and sat down, refusing without any hesitation.

"Why? Doctors are kindhearted. Are you going to watch someone die without helping?"

"My master has a rule that no royal relatives are allowed to see it."

"What a crappy rule! You..." Fu Wuyang was furious. It seemed that Doctor Xue really had such a rule.

He remembered that his elder brother's seventh son was seriously ill, and Doctor Xue had never examined his pulse once.

"Forget it, I don't want it! What medical skills does a little girl know? I think you only have a superficial understanding. There are many doctors with superb medical skills out there. I can find anyone who is better than you!"

He suddenly sat on the chair with his legs crossed, and he was no longer in a hurry.

Su Lanyin asked: "If that's the case, why don't you go quickly, Your Majesty?"

"The King does not want to go."

"Not afraid of death?"

"Compared to me being afraid of death, you should be more afraid of something happening to me, right?"

"Why should I be afraid?"

"There are only two of us in this room. If anything happens to me, it will definitely be your responsibility. When the emperor investigates, you will have no excuse."

"But these snacks were sent by Second Auntie..."

Su Lanyin was halfway through her words when a light flashed in her mind and something immediately emerged.

"That's right! Muzi and Kang Chenxi were in the same room. If anything happened to Muzi, Kang Chenxi would definitely be arrested!"

"Do I need you to tell me that?" Fu Wuyang frowned, with an expression that said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Su Lanyin hurriedly explained: "No! What I mean is that we should change the direction of investigation, such as where did the poison come from? It is impossible for an outsider to run in and poison, it must be someone in Nuanxiang Pavilion, or someone close to Kang Chenxi!"

"How do you say that?"

"So far, we have only found lip prints stained with poison, but no poisonous wine or food. Even the wine glass and the lip grease are not poisonous, right?"

"Yes."

"We have been misled into thinking that Muzi doesn't drink, so there is only one cup in the room. But logically speaking, even if the other person doesn't drink, the wine pot and wine cup are a set, and they must be on the table. It's impossible for them not to be together!"

"That... makes some sense."

"So, Muzi's poison is probably hidden in another wine glass. She drank the poisoned wine that day, and her lips were stained with poison. Then, she somehow put the poisoned lip print on another wine glass!"

Fu Wuyang's eyes lit up: "What you said makes sense, the poison is hidden in another cup. As the murderer, he certainly wouldn't dare to throw the cup away, and would definitely hide it carefully!"
