Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Qingfeng mentioned the Immortal Spiritual Pill, Bai Wutong recalled the pain of the medicine taking effect.
The person who could give it to Bai Shining must be someone with high status.
It was either Emperor Ling Hui, the remnants of the previous dynasty, or the ghouls behind the scenes.
Bai Wutong looked at Qingfeng. “Did he say who gave it to him?”
Qingfeng said, “He’s under anesthesia and hasn’t woken up yet.”
Bai Wutong nodded. “Keep an eye on him. Find out who gave him the medicine and secretly keep an eye on everyone from the Ling Kingdom.”
“Yes!”
Even if he did not give Bai Shining this secret medicine, Bai Shining would not dare to resist Emperor Ling Hui.
Bai Wutong felt that the person who drugged her behind her back must have other motives.
As a result, even if Bai Wutong wanted to enter the female prison alone, Chu Tianbao wouldn’t let her, afraid that she would be in danger.
Bai Wutong could only compromise and get someone to bring Bai Xinshui and Jia Yuqin to the interrogation room.
She had the memories of the original Bai Wutong and could directly convict Jia Yuqin and Bai Xinshui.
However, she knew that the original Bai Wutong must really want to see them regret their evil deeds.
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao stood in front of the gates. The entire interrogation room seemed to have become bright.
On the other hand, Bai Xinshui’s disheveled appearance was no longer dignified like the Eldest Prince’s secondary consort.
When she saw Bai Wutong clearly, she said excitedly, “Sister, save me, save me!!!”
Bai Wutong said indifferently, “Your sister is long dead.”
Bai Xinshui met her cold and cruel gaze and couldn’t help but feel a chill run down her spine. She was so frightened that she took a few steps back. “You’re an evil spirit! An evil spirit! I’m going to get someone to take you in!” Her gaze landed on Chu Tianbao and she hurriedly said, “She’s an evil spirit! Kill her quickly. She wants to harm me.”
Chu Tianbao looked at her with obvious disgust.
It was as if he would shut her up forever if she dared to say another word.
Bai Xinshui was so afraid that she cowered in a corner, not knowing what Bai Wutong was going to do to her.
Bai Wutong just wanted her to admit her crimes back then.
“You and your mother caused my death. Now, you’re afraid?”
Bai Xinshui’s face turned pale.
She knew?!
How could she know?
Bai Xinshui trembled and denied, “I didn’t. You’re talking nonsense! You’re talking nonsense!”
Bai Wutong clapped her hands. A woman was brought in. Bai Xinshui recognized her and shouted excitedly, “It’s all her idea. It has nothing to do with me. I’m the Eldest Prince’s secondary consort. If you touch me, wait for our Ling Kingdom’s army to annihilate you!”
Granny Li, who had yet to speak, hurriedly said, “Great Empress, it was the mother and daughter who instructed me. I was forced into a corner. My entire family was under a death contract. I don’t dare to disobey.”
Bai Xinshui did not expect Granny Li, who had always been loyal and well-behaved, to sell them out. “Do you believe that I’ll get someone to smash your dog mouth?”
At this time, she was still a secondary consort!
The moment she saw Bai Wutong, Granny Li knew that her death had arrived.
People had to pay for what they did.
But it wasn’t time yet.
Bai Wutong’s eyes were filled with coldness. “Do you really not understand why Emperor Linghui sent your entire family over?”
Bai Xinshui cried in despair. “I really don’t know. I’m the Eldest Prince’s secondary consort. You can’t kill me!”
Bai Wutong suddenly smiled. Bai Xinshui thought that she had softened her heart. “Sister, don’t kill me. I’ll listen to you. When I return to the Ling Kingdom, I’ll tell Your Majesty that the Ling Kingdom and the Carefree Kingdom are willing to be on good terms for a hundred years. Just let me go back. Boohoo- I’m begging you- I really know my mistake. I’m just jealous of you, I was afraid that you will be chosen by the marquis. I’m wrong- I didn’t expect you to fall off the cliff. 1 just asked the bandits to scare you.”
Bai Wutong looked at her. “I won’t kill you, but I won’t let you have it easy either.”
Bai Xinshui suddenly shouted heartbreakingly, “I’m your sister! Your biological sister!”
Bai Wutong sneered. “Sister? Do you have any shame?”
Bai Xinshui saw the determination in Bai Wutong’s eyes that insisted on making her suffer. She turned her gaze and looked at Chu Tianbao pleadingly. “Young General, no, Eldest Prince, I’m your sister-in-law. Let her let me go. I beg you. If I die, your brother will be very sad.”
She could find any excuse to get Chu Tianbao involved with Chu Mingxuan.
Bai Wutong gave the female warden a look and Bai Xinshui was pulled out of the interrogation room.
Bai Xinshui had expected that she might not be able to get out of jail for the rest of her life. She forcefully grabbed the cell door and shouted, “Let me go. I’ll tell you Chu Mingxuan’s plan. He wants to kill you! He also wants the entire southern frontier.”
Chu Mingxuan thought that she did not know, but in fact, she was hiding behind the screen and had long heard his conversation with Bai Shining.
Bai Wutong didn’t even look up. She waved her hand, indicating that the female warden didn’t have to care about her.
Bai Xinshui exclaimed, “Bai Wutong, I’ll tell you everything. I’ll tell you everything. Please, on account that we grew up together, please listen to me and give me another chance.”
What she wanted to say was that Chu Mingxuan had sent someone to the team to kill them.
Bai Wutong could guess it even with her toes. Her guess was probably even more accurate than what she had said.
Bai Xinshui was forcefully dragged out of the interrogation room. What awaited her was endless penance.
Jia Yuqin was next door to Bai Xinshui. When she heard Bai Xinshui’s wails, she cursed the moment Bai Wutong appeared, “You little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you even dared to attack your biological sister. I should have ended your life back then!”
Chu Tianbao instructed the female warden, “Cut her tongue.”
The female warden took out a dagger, and Jia Yuqin’s legs immediately went weak from fear. “No—No—”
She ran and struggled, but it was useless. The female warden cut off her tongue alive and she lay on the ground like a struggling maggot.
Bai Wutong couldn’t help but recall the scene when she asked the original Bai Wutong to wash her face with chili, causing her to almost go blind.
It was really good for that there was karma. Who could forgive who?
The evil person had received the punishment he deserved. The remnant soul of the original Bai Wutong seemed to have finally let go.
When Bai Wutong walked out of the prison, she felt her body lighten.
However, Chu Tianbao was afraid that she would be in a bad mood, so he said, “Let’s go to Mother’s shop to walk around?”
Bai Wutong smiled and nodded. “Okay.”
The pedestrians on the street kept greeting them, but it did not affect their journey.
After a while, Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao arrived at the children’s clothing store opened by n.o.ble Consort Ling.
As long as it was a child’s daily necessities, they could buy it here.
As soon as Bai Wutong walked in, she saw n.o.ble Consort Ling blocked by Zeng Sanshui. He bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Consort Ling.”
Chu Tianbao was very likely to win Emperor Ling Hui’s heart more than Chu Mingxuan and inherit the throne.
Zeng Sanshui bowed because he wanted to build a good relationship.
The people around him were stunned by his words.
Consort Ling?
Could it be the one in Emperor Ling Hui’s harem?
Chu Tianbao called her mother.
And he was Gu Chilie’s son.. Then what was his relationship with Gu Chilie?
