I Conquer the World For My Duke - C94
Yesterday, when he was about to attack Bai Zheng, he was stopped by Feng Linyuan’s men. They could only watch as Feng Linyuan swaggered out of the door with Bai Zheng in tow.
This was where all his clear memories stopped. Everything that happened to Bai Zheng after she left the room became extremely fragmented, to the point that only a few blurry fragments remained.
It was as if countless men surrounded him and drank a lot of his wine, but he really couldn’t remember where they were and how they got there.
When he woke up, he was already sitting in the great hall of Mansion of Jing Zhao Yin Palace, and had already become the accused of attempted poisoning Bai Zheng!
And all of this was thanks to that despicable and oppressive force!
“What pearl?” He sneered, and asked Feng Linyuan a question, but his eyes were staring straight at Bai Zheng, his gaze vicious to the point that it could produce juice.
“May I ask, Dingyuan Marquis, what poison did you get? You need the Pearl of Dragon!”
Facing the sober Chu Feng, Feng Linyuan asked with a calm demeanor and a slight frown on his face: “Young Master Chu, is this your loss of memory? What you have done, why don’t you ask me instead?”
“I really don’t know what I did wrong, please enlighten me, Master Hou.” Chu Feng said stiffly.
Although Bai Zheng’s memories after she left his room were blurry, he remembered what happened before she left his room more clearly than anyone else.
He obviously didn’t poison her, so what was there to be afraid of!
Seeing Chu Feng’s confident look, everyone looked at Feng Linyuan, waiting for his reply.
At the end of the day, this so-called poisoning was just one side of Bai Zheng’s story to Feng Linyuan. Now that Chu Feng was admitting defeat, it was just right for them to see what kind of proof Feng Linyuan, who was part of the plaintiff side, could take out.
Feng Linyuan laughed, but did not reply. The originally not very big Main Hall became extremely quiet.
He looked at Chu Feng. Although there was a smile on his face, the depths of his eyes revealed a bone-piercing coldness.
After a long while, when Chu Feng was about to speak and say “can’t speak anymore”, his smile slowly disappeared and his voice was as calm as water. He slowly said word by word, “Young Master Chu didn’t go back to the manor last night did you?”
Chu Feng was startled, and his face immediately turned white.
“It’s fortunate that the Young Master Chu did not return to the manor, which was why I kept the crucial evidence on me.” As he said that, Feng Linyuan walked forward and grabbed Chu Feng’s drenched sleeve.
“Yesterday, when I saved Miss Bai, the other half of the wine cup was knocked over and a corner of the Young Master Chu’s sleeves became wet. Even though our clothes have been splashed with water, we can still find out if there’s poison on them. Why don’t we find a doctor? ”
Hearing this, a dim light appeared in Feng Jingye’s eyes. Prime Minister Chu was so angry that he scolded, “Unfilial son! “Unfilial son!”
The current Bai Zheng had her head lowered, her entire face buried in her hair. No one could clearly see her expression, and naturally no one knew that she was also shocked.
After all, she only knew the first half of what happened yesterday. As for how Feng Linyuan dealt with him after he left, she had no idea.
The so-called poison was merely an excuse Bai Zheng had given him to not return and extort her Mansion of Prime Minister for a night’s time.
But according to what Feng Linyuan had just said, after Chu Feng kidnapped her, he had most likely prepared poison to be used on her body at the most crucial moment.
“Just ask a doctor to examine the sleeve of the Young Master Chu and you will know what kind of poison Zheng is infected with. Young Master Chu, what do you have to say for yourself! ” Feng Linyuan flung him off and raised his voice.
“Why are you using the Pearl of the Dragon? Who else knows better than you?”
“After all, the Dragon Pearl has a price and the Young Master Chu cannot afford it. It is only natural for people to be unwilling to face it.”
Feng Linhuai smiled as he rescued his, looking at Chu Feng with a tinge of regret in his eyes.
“It’s just that Young Master Chu, with your actions, money might not be enough to protect you, but your Mansion of Prime Minister and even the face of a Prince like Ye has been thrown away cleanly.”
Chu Feng was stunned for a moment. When a gust of cold wind blew over, he unconsciously trembled three times.
Yesterday’s memory was truly fragmented, causing him to be completely unsure if there was anything on his sleeve.
He opened his mouth, and suddenly felt a cold gaze. He turned his head, and saw Feng Jingye looking at him with a strange and gloomy gaze.
He was shocked.
After finding out about Bai Di and Feng Jingxuan in the past few days, she had already offended Feng Jingye because of her previous actions. If not for the empress and his father, the prime minister, she was afraid that Feng Jingye would have already dismembered him.
And now, he had violated Feng Jingye’s restraining order on his own accord and kidnapped Bai Zheng, who Feng Jingye felt he had to win over with all his effort, and he had even completely fallen out with him.
How could Feng Jingye forgive him!
“I did not! It was you! I didn’t poison it. There’s nothing on my sleeve! ” Chu Feng screamed hysterically. He was afraid.
“If I had poisoned him, how come nothing happened to him?” It had only been a night, and she was already so lively that she could slander others? It’s obviously you guys! The partnership extorted my Mansion of Prime Minister! ”
“I had thought that since Young Master Chu is from a large clan, he should have seen the world before. I didn’t think that his experience would be so shallow.” Feng Linyuan sneered: “In this world, other than this duke’s illness, there is nothing else that the Pearl of Dragon can’t cure.”
Feng Linhuai also laughed heartily, “That’s right, when royal brother bestowed the Pearl of Dragon to Ayuan, even this king was envious for a long time. Young Master Chu, not to mention that the little girl only ate half a cup of your poison wine, she ate an entire cup.
These words made Prime Minister Chu’s heart ache.
Chu Feng didn’t know the significance of the Pearl of Dragon, but he was the clearest. This was a rare treasure at the end. If one were to talk about compensation, it was likely they would need to empty out all their Mansion of Prime Minister.
Seeing that the Prime Minister Chu and Feng Jingye did not utter a word, Feng Linyuan did not wish to pester any further, and asked after some thought.
“Since the Young Master Chu is unwilling to admit his crimes, Sir Qin, please arrange for a few doctors to examine the sleeves of the Young Master Chu.”
Initially, I had planned to ignore this matter after seeing Zheng pleading for me. However, now that Young Master Chu has confirmed that it’s me and Zheng slandering you, let’s do it properly. What should be tested, we will compensate you.
“If it turns out to be true, then just pay me a Pearl of the Dragon.”
“This …” Hearing Feng Linyuan’s words, Prime Minister Chu’s eyebrows immediately tightened into a knot.
According to Feng Linyuan, there were only two options in front of them right now.
If it didn’t work, then it was a private matter, and the Mansion of Prime Minister would have to be compensated with a hundred thousand silver.
Since it had been verified, it could be considered a public affair. Let’s see if the result is poisonous or not.
But… Did Chu Feng poison it or not?
