160 Bring For Interrogation

Nie Yin didn’t know what Nie Lin was thinking about, but he felt that Nie Lin was plotting to become the head of the Nie family.

His father, Nie Sen, the previous patriarch of the Nie family, had been set up by a traitor. His whereabouts were still unknown, and the Nie family was no longer as powerful as before.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have to marry the princess and suffer like this!

Nie Lin was also filled with anger. He had been feeling unwell for the past few days because of the poison in his body, but now, he had encountered a troublemaker, which made him even more frustrated.

However, Nie Yin was the future patriarch of the Nie family after all, so Nie Lin didn’t want to have any enmity with him. Nie Lin suppressed his anger and said, “It’s just that my body hasn’t been feeling well these past two days, so I asked these people to refine some pills to nourish my body.”

Nie Yin’s expression darkened when he heard Nie Lin’s words.

He already suspected that Nie Lin had ulterior motives. Now, Nie Lin’s answer was very different from that of these two outsiders, so how could Nie Yin not be suspicious?!

A smile slowly appeared on Kong Rui’s face. Nie Yin fell for the trick!

Now, it was time to watch Nie Yin and Nie Lin’s performance!

However, things were still progressing too slowly. Kong Rui couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.

She was about to speak when Chao Bai grabbed her arm.

Kong Rui turned to look at Chao Bai and saw him shake his head gently, indicating for Kong Rui not to act rashly.

Kong Rui took a deep breath to control her urge. She knew that she couldn’t ruin this opportunity on a moment of impulse.

Clearly, Chao Bai had already guessed what Kong Rui was planning to do, so he quietly played along.

Nie Yin stared at Nie Lin for a long time before saying, “Since you aren’t feeling well, why don’t you invite a doctor over to take a look?!”

“Coincidentally, I invited a spiritual doctor from the palace over, so I can bring him to your place to take a look at you!”

Nie Lin narrowed his eyes, the anger in them intensifying.

He was already worried that others would discover that he had been poisoned. Wouldn’t everyone know about this if a spiritual doctor examined him?

Nie Lin immediately refused. “There’s no need! I know my own health! There’s no need for you to worry!”

Nie Yin’s expression turned even uglier when he heard Nie Lin reject him. “Since you don’t want to accept my kindness, forget it!”

“However, these two people are very suspicious. This room is filled with a rotten smell. I want to bring them back and interrogate them!”

“No!” Nie Lin refused without hesitation.

Kong Rui stood at the side in frustration as she listened to the two of them exchange words. They were so indirect. She didn’t know when they would come to a conclusion.

She rolled her eyes and thought for a moment before lowering her head slightly. Then, she coughed and said, “If you doubt our alchemy skills, you can follow us back to Spirit Mountain to take a look!”

“Spirit Mountain?” Nie Yin frowned when he heard that, and his eyes lit up.

Kong Rui looked confident. “That’s right! Before we came to the Imperial Capital, we stayed on Spirit Mountain for a long time. There are still some pills we refined there, but they’re inconvenient to bring along.”

“If you guys don’t believe us, just follow us!”

Nie Yin was about to continue asking when Nie Lin stopped him.

Nie Lin noticed something else. “What’s wrong with your voice?”

Kong Rui was stunned and didn’t know how to answer.

Because she was worried that Nie Yin would recognize her voice, Kong Rui deliberately changed her voice. This aroused Nie Lin’s suspicion.

Chao Bai immediately said, “I’ve been busy refining pills for the past two days, so my voice is a little hoarse.”

Although Nie Lin was suspicious, he didn’t continue asking.

Nie Yin immediately asked, “Have you…”

Nie Yin had just asked when he immediately shut up.

He glanced in Nie Lin’s direction cautiously and said, “The two of you are really suspicious! Bring me to Spirit Mountain now to see what you call…”
