Chapter 29 Talk to Chu Yue

General's Mansion.

A servant of the Chu family led two extraordinary handsome men in.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your invitation."

Seeing the two Xie Juan brothers coming, Chu Yue couldn't help but feel nervous. Someone had already reported that the Xie brothers were coming to see her, "I wonder what the prince and the second young master have to do with me?"

After the girl had the tea, she bowed and left.

Xie Zheng had a business-like attitude, "Miss Chu, I received a secret report that you witnessed the death of Miss Lin. I just want to ask Miss Chu a few questions."

Chu Yue was surprised, "Who said that? Didn't Miss Lin suddenly die of a nasty disease?"

Xie Juan smiled and said, "That's the Lin family's statement to the outside world. Miss Chu and Miss Lin are good friends and have known each other for many years. Don't you know if she has any serious illness?"

"Miss Chu, there is no need to pretend, everyone is understanding."

The implication is, don’t do this.

Xie Juan's words are so venomous and to the point.

Chu Yue looked gloomy and disliked dealing with him. "On the day of her death, I did not enter the palace, let alone the Chaohua Palace. Did Mr. Xie make a mistake?"

"Is this true? We need to ask Miss Chu to go back to Dali Temple with us to cooperate with the investigation to find out." Xie Zheng didn't say much and motioned for someone to take her away.

Chu Yue smiled and said: "I am the eldest lady of the Chu family. You took me back to Dali Temple without evidence. If it turns out that it was just a misunderstanding and ruined my reputation, can you afford to accompany me?"

The two young officers and soldiers were too frightened to act rashly.

They indeed have no evidence in Dali Temple, and your Excellency didn’t say you wanted to arrest Miss Chu before they came here?

The two of them were so scared that they were sweating.

Xie Zheng was calm and relaxed, and glanced at Xie Juan.

It was all his bad idea. If Xie Zheng's style was different, he wouldn't have done this.

How to arrest someone without evidence?

Arresting people based on just one sentence from the princess is too hasty.

Don't let Chaohua be exposed.

Xie Zheng was puzzled and wanted to see what his brother would do.

Chu Yue is the daughter of a general, not a civil servant. She is very courageous.

Even people who are not timid when entering the palace to meet the saints will naturally not be afraid of them.

What's more, this is the General's Mansion, and I'm afraid it won't be that easy for them to take people back to Dali Temple.

Xie Juan looked at Chu Yue and said, "Is it possible that Miss Chu is so excited because she has a guilty conscience? If you don't know the reason, are open-minded, and are upright and not afraid of shadows, what problems could there be in going to Dali Temple with us?"

"If you make excuses not to follow us at Dali Temple, I can think that you have a guilty conscience, which proves that what the informant said is true."

Chu Yue was a little afraid of failing the test. After all, this man killed without batting an eyelid and was stared at with his sharp eyes. She felt her hands and feet were cold while sitting on the chair, but she pretended to be calm and said: "Then who is the informant you are talking about? You can bring the general.

If you want to confront me, there is no need to go to Dali Temple."

"They say she is a whistleblower. We have to protect such a kind person and expose her. Then who will dare to secretly report those who do bad things?" Xie Juan chuckled.

Chu Yue's face was ugly, and her brows were stained with displeasure, "If the prince wants to know how Miss Lin died, he should ask the eldest princess. She should know best if someone died in her palace."

"Now there is a secret report, saying that the cause of Lin Wanru's death is not simple. The cause of her death is related to you. Of course, she is looking for you. What is the use of looking for the princess? She is a person involved."

"The princess was not alone in Chaohua Palace that day. The princess did not beat or scold Lin Wanru. She just fell down and died. The cause of her death can have nothing to do with the princess."

Chu Yue sneered, "But I was not at Chaohua Palace that day. I have evidence of alibi. Wouldn't it be funny to say that I know the cause of Lin Wanru's death?"

Xie Juan smiled and said, "Are you sure? Miss Chu must think clearly before speaking. If there is no evidence, we will not come to you easily."

He was smiling, but his eyes were cold, and Chu Yue couldn't help but panic, "I...I really didn't enter the palace that day. If you don't believe me, you can check the palace entry records."

Seeing her evasive expression, she was a little nervous when speaking.

Xie Zheng's many years of experience in solving cases knew that there was indeed something wrong with her.

She is lying.

"Just because she didn't enter the palace doesn't mean it has nothing to do with you. Lin Wanru saw you before entering the palace, right? We suspect she was poisoned."

"If Miss Chu knows something, tell the truth. Otherwise, don't blame me for taking you back to Dali Temple for interrogation."

"This matter is related to the safety of the princess. Your Majesty attaches great importance to it. If the Chu family is involved, I'm afraid General Chu won't be able to protect you." Xie Juan and Xie Zheng attacked from both sides, half threatening, pressing forward step by step.
