This was the most torturous night in Chu Yiyun's life.
He had never felt such worry or discomfort, and had always been waiting for the right moment. No matter how torturous he felt, it was just a feeling of not being able to stand out.
However, right now, he was standing right in front of him. He was worried that his crimes would be exposed, because the Eastern Palace King's position was far more difficult to obtain than he had imagined.
That night, Chu Yiyun did not dare to do anything. He was afraid that he was under the Royal Father's surveillance, and worried that if he moved now, it would only serve as proof of his crimes.
But, as the uneasy night passed and dawn approached, Chu Yiyun decided that he had to take action, not sit still and wait for death.
After a night of not closing his eyes, Chu Yiyun's eyes were completely bloodshot, and at the same time, they were filled with deep hatred.
He hated, hated that his Royal Father favored Chu Yizhao, if not, why would he protect Chu Yizhao so strongly, and continue to keep a deposed crown prince in the Eastern Palace?
He also hated his Royal Father, why did he favor Chu Yixuan so much, if not, why would he protect Chu Yixuan all these years. Even if Chu Yixuan was found guilty of conspiracy to kill the crown prince, he still would not sentence Chu Yixuan to death.
If the old geezer, the emperor, had sent Chu Yizhao out of the Ji City early and sentenced him to death, he wouldn't have to act this way and cause so much trouble for himself!
Why couldn't he just continue to send Chu Yizhao into exile and kill him?! Wasn't this old thing thinking that he was incapable and unworthy of the position of crown prince, thus why he wanted to leave the Eastern Palace to Chu Yizhao?
In terms of ruling the country, he was not inferior to Chu Yizhao at all. In terms of scheming and scheming, he was not inferior to Chu Yixuan either. But why would the Royal Father rather keep Chu Yizhao and Chu Yixuan alive than to give him a chance to showcase his talents? In the end, he could only force him to put everything on the line and use so much thought in order to trap him in a hopeless situation?
Today, it was all because of that old bastard Royal Father. All of this could only be blamed on him!
Since he could only rely on himself, and could not rely on his Royal Father, then he could only do his best to save himself!
He had to save himself, he couldn't just sit there and wait for death!
As for how to save himself, Chu Yiyun thought about it very simply. Of course, this was the only thing he could think of at the moment, because he no longer had a second choice.
That was, silence after murder!
Kill who? of course, it was the two Su Family brothers.
Although Justice Division and Seven Treasures Division had captured both of them separately, since his Prince Xin’s Mansion had not been discovered yet, he still had a chance. Even if Justice Division and Seven Treasures Division suspect him, at least they don't have any evidence, right?
That was why they wanted to use the Su Family brothers as witnesses so they could be sure that they could put him to death. There was no use in keeping those two. Just let them go to the underworld before they confess!
He had no choice but to throw the car away. As long as the Su Family brothers died, then there would be no proof! Immediately after, he tried to clean up the people in the Duke Palace who knew about it, and no one could prove that he was involved in the matters of abandoned crown prince and Prince Qi.
It was already dawn, so although it seemed like the easiest way to make a move, it was actually easier to do so than at night.
After all, Justice Division and Seven Treasures Division had only caught the two Su Family brothers last night. After a night of safe passage, their vigilance would not let up, because they would not have expected him to come and take the prison in the daytime, would they?
Oh, no, no, no, he wasn't trying to break out of jail. He only wanted the two Su Family brothers to shut their mouths forever.
— —
However, killing the two Su Family brothers to cover his mouth was not enough to make up for his wrongdoings. Instead, it was to help Chu Yiyun dig his own grave.
Could it be that Qi Yu didn't think of killing those two important witnesses to protect himself?
Qi Yu naturally thought of it.
She had also informed Feng Qingmo, telling him to notify the people from Seven Treasures Division, so as to guard against Chu Yiyun killing them to keep his mouth shut.
Thus, whether it was from the food side (to guard against Chu Yiyun poisoning) or the guards side (to guard against Chu Yiyun's hidden arrows to kill people), they all strengthened their hidden defense.
If he wanted to kill them to silence them, he could only choose these two methods. If he did not succeed in his sneak attack, he would have to poison the prison. If he wanted to kill the two Su Family brothers, it was impossible for Chu Yiyun to think of a better way.
Attacking someone secretly to kill them was naturally impossible. As for capturing two important criminals, no matter how lax his defense was, how could he relax?
Thus, poison was the best method.
No matter if it was Justice Division or if it was Seven Treasures Division, it was impossible for them to send any heavy soldiers to guard the cooks. Thus, there was still a chance for him to sneak into the kitchen to poison the other party.
But Chu Yiyun was smart enough to sneak into the kitchen and poison himself.
He sent people to attack the vegetable farmers who were delivering vegetables to Justice Division and hid the deadly Han Fei Ji in the food. — — He already quickly sent people to investigate, and found out that those farmers normally would provide two groups of dishes, one of which was carefully selected, for the cell guards of Justice Division to eat, and the other group of old vegetables for the prisoners of Justice Division to eat.
The food given to the prisoners by Justice Division was not fresh at all, and was also the cheapest. When the constables responsible for collecting the food rushed over, they did not pick any of them, but instead directly ordered them to be pulled away.
Chu Yiyun's Han Fei Zi was hiding within the dishes.
Seeing that the vegetables were successfully pulled into the Justice Division, the subordinate happily went back to report to Chu Yiyun. Chu Yiyun's face was gloomy the entire time, "They really took away all the food? "There's no examination?"
"In reply to Your Highness, there was no examination. Because Justice Division has always bought from those farmers, they trust them. "
"Alright." Chu Yiyun heaved a sigh of relief and waved his hand, "I need to take a nap, the moment there is any news from my Justice Division, report it to me immediately."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Although Seven Treasures Division participated in the capture, they didn't have the authority to imprison the criminals, so, like Su Guoyong, they were both imprisoned in the cell of Justice Division.
This batch of food was for all the criminals in Justice Division to eat. Therefore, even if Su Guogang and Su Guoyong were not locked in the same cell, they would not be able to escape death.
Of course, all the criminals in the Justice Division could not escape death either. Unless someone wasn't hungry and refused to eat.
Chu Yiyun naturally would not care about the lives of those criminals in the Justice Division when they said that the success of a general was akin to the death of ten thousand bones.
In any case, they had violated the laws of the country, and the culprits were very heavy, so they were caught in Justice Division for questioning. What need did he have to care about their lives and deaths?
As long as he could kill the two Su Family brothers, Chu Yiyun didn't hesitate to pull all of the prisoners from the Justice Division to add insult to injury.
As for who would bear the consequences, it was the farmers, of course! Those criminals would die a violent death if they had eaten the food that they gave. Chu Yiyun would not even care about the lives of the two Su Family brothers, how could he care about the lives of those lowly farmers?
Originally, the plan was very thorough, and logically speaking, there shouldn't be any mistakes.
However, Chu Yiyun still failed.
After being reminded by Seven Treasures Division, Justice Division strictly followed through to the stage of choosing dishes.
Justice Division was a popular place for torture, and naturally there was no lack of methods to prevent and treat poisons. Han Xianji's rhizome that was hidden in the vegetables had been discovered.
Looking at the small pile of tendrils on the ground, the constable in charge of purchasing turned pale with fright. He could not even speak clearly!
"How, how, how is this possible? This is impossible! "
"Did you check it when you were serving the food?" Geng Yichun frowned and asked.
"Select... "Choose..."
"You have no choice, right? Did you buy it in a fixed vegetable farm? "
"Right, right!" "Those farmers have always been very familiar with this place. They … they shouldn't have dared to do such a thing, right?!"
"Of course the farmers wouldn't dare. There's no need for them to do that." Geng Yichun pinched a stalk of the self-defense root, saying, "This Han Yu has a cold nature and a bitter taste. Once poisoned, it is possible for him to experience paroxysmal convulsions and symptoms of breathing difficulties, his heart palpitations, his entire body numbness, his breathing paralysis, and finally death from suffocation."
"This, this... All prisoners can be poisoned? "
"If these dishes are for the whole cell, of course they are."
Beads of sweat trickled down the officer's forehead. He looked at manager of the Justice Division in horror, then at Geng Yichun, and with a "plop" he kneeled down and cried: "Two Masters, please spare me, please spare me!"
"The manager of the Justice Division looked at Geng Yichun and felt fear. Luckily Master Geng reminded me, otherwise my Justice Division would have been finished! "
Geng Yichun frowned, he thought for a moment and said: "Master, why don't you bring the Madam Su brothers here."
"Let them see this Poison Cover?"
"Let them see how they will treat others in the end by painstakingly running errands for others and risking the danger of being beheaded."
"Yes!" Lord Geng was right! " manager of the Justice Division turned around and shouted, "Men! Bring the Madam Su brothers to the kitchen! "
This was the first time Justice Division had used the kitchen as a court.
Su Guogang and Su Guoyong were brought to the kitchen. Seeing Geng Yichun, Su Guogang remained calm and collected while Su Guoyong turned his head unhappily.
manager of the Justice Division said with a straight face: "Su Guogang, Su Guoyong! Do you know why I called you to this kitchen? "
Su Guogang remained calm and did not say a word. Su Guoyong coldly snorted, "If there's anything delicious, just send it straight to the prison. Grandpa will remember you guys well!"
"Humph!" The manager of the Justice Division sneered, "Even when death is at hand, you still dare to take advantage of me."
After saying that, manager of the Justice Division threw a stalk of Han Fei Ji at Su Guoyong's feet and asked coldly, "Do you know what this is?"
Su Guoyong lowered his gaze to take a glance, and said with a sneer: "Could it be that this thing is poisonous?"
Geng Yichun said expressionlessly from the side, "This thing is the root of Han Fei Ji's problem. Do you know what Han Yu Zi is?"
Su Guogang frowned. Han Yu? What is this?
Su Guoyong said straightforwardly: "I don't know, just say whatever you want. If you don't want to say it, Grandfather won't ask either!"
Geng Yichun said: "I just introduced him to the main division leader, this Han Fei Zi, after consuming him, he will develop symptoms of powerlessness of his lower limbs and paralysis of his limbs, the poisoned people will feel as if their breathing was being suppressed, they will not be able to help themselves from twitching, causing their entire body to convulse, at the same time, they will become pale white, palpitations, and their entire bodies would become stiff until they lost consciousness and suffocated to death."
"What?" Su Guoyong was surprised, and immediately jumped away like a plague, dodging the Han Qi in front of him. He looked at Su Guogang in disbelief, and then looked at Geng Yichun, trying to forcefully control himself, and sneered: "Geng, who are you lying to? Do you think that grandpa was scared? "
