Chapter 1843 Good Officer
Chunqin's face turned pale: "You...do you really believe that the prince is innocent?"
Seeing Chunqin's attitude softened, Chu Heng didn't urge her, but just looked at her calmly.
Chunqin moved her lips, still hesitated.
Chu Heng waited calmly.
Chunqin looked at him, and finally gritted her teeth and made a decision: "You are a close minister of the emperor, how can I be sure that you will not plot to frame the prince for the sake of the court."
"You can choose to believe me, or you can choose not to believe me." Not only did Chu Heng not choose to persuade her, but he gave her the choice.
Chunqin choked on the series of words she had prepared in her mind because of his answer.
But the balance in her heart gradually tilted toward Chu Heng. The more she persuaded her, the more she would doubt the other party's intentions, but Chu Heng let her choose, and Chunqin couldn't calm down anymore because of her worry about the prince.
"I...I said..." In the end, Chunqin gritted her teeth and made a decision.
She has long known the dignitaries in the capital.
If other officials would plot against King Huainan for their own sake, then Chu Heng must be a good official who loves the people. In her heart, the prince is also a good person. Except for Lord Chu, no one can help the prince clear his grievances.
"My lord didn't know that Bai Yao was pretending to be me. I was afraid that Bai Yao would make a move on my lord, so I kept it a secret and didn't dare to reveal anything."
"The prince has been far away these years, so he won't find out."
Chu Heng raised his hand to hold up the portrait and showed it to her: "Who is this person?"
"Very familiar, a bit like Bai Yao." When Chunqin said this, she frowned, her expression a little painful, and suddenly a smear of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
Chu Heng stepped forward quickly and touched the important acupuncture points in her body.
And told the doctor in the prison to come quickly.
After the doctor used acupuncture, Chunqin's condition temporarily stabilized, her face was as pale as paper, and her body wasted a lot.
"Lord Chu, this girl's body is temporarily stable, but her illness cannot be cured by old age. If she comes again a few times, I'm afraid she won't be able to recover." The doctor said worriedly.
Chu Heng hummed, and asked the guards to send the doctor down.
This is caused by Gu insects, and ordinary doctors cannot cure it.
"Don't worry, take a good rest, you can think about it slowly, tell me what you can tell me, and don't need to affect your body." Chu Heng said to her.
Chunqin was a little anxious, "No, listen to me...cough cough..."
"I won't use your life to obtain evidence. I can study the Gu worms in your body well and then deal with it. There is no need to rush to kill yourself." Chu Heng's voice was a little more severe.
Chunqin's anxious mood gradually calmed down.
Leaning against the prison wall, looking at Chu Heng with a complicated expression: "Master Chu, I didn't expect that you would be so kind that you would even care about my life."
Chu Heng glanced at her lightly: "You think too much, and your own laws deal with your mistakes. What right do I have to deal with your life alone."
"It is because of this that you are different from others." Chunqin smiled sarcastically: "Believe it or not, if other people were here, they would definitely not care about the safety of a maid, and put their interests first."
"But it's normal, you love the people and are a good official."
Chu Heng glanced at her, but didn't answer the words at all. He didn't think he was a good official, because he didn't have the idea of devoting himself to the people in his heart.
"What? You don't want to admit it?" Seeing his reaction, Chunqin guessed it, and couldn't help laughing.
