"Missing?" Zu An raised his eyebrows. In fact, this was expected. How could such a key figure continue to stay there for people to investigate.
As for whether he really disappeared or was silenced, he was even more inclined to the latter.
It's a pity that he is behind bars now and has no skills. This kind of thing cannot be investigated by others.
"By the way, do you know what's going on with Concubine Bai of Baihua Palace?" Zu An asked hurriedly.
Chu Chuyan's autumn-like eyes showed a hint of guilt: "The time is too short, and it is something deep in the palace. I didn't have time to check."
Zu An held her hand: "I'm too anxious. You don't have to worry about this matter. Let's wait for news from the queen first."
"What is your relationship with the Queen? Why..." Chu Chuyan's cold eyes were full of puzzlement, "Why did she look so strange after knowing that I came here for you, especially after hearing those words of yours? Afterwards, not only was he no longer angry, but he became kinder to me."
Zu An smiled slightly: "The queen probably owed me a favor before, so she will find a way to save me this time, so don't worry too much."
Chu Chuyan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
After the two of them talked for a while, Chu Chuyan hurriedly left. She clearly understood the importance and knew that staying here was meaningless. She wanted to go out and mobilize her connections to find a way to save people. She could not put all her hopes aside. Put it on the queen.
Zu An was moved and reminded her not to seek medical treatment in a hurry and be deceived by people with ulterior motives.
At the same time, he told her that he had a trump card and there was a high probability that he would be able to get through the difficulties this time.
After all, he had watched too many bloody TV series in the previous world, and he didn't want Chu Yan to do anything stupid to save him.
Chu Chuyan was also an extremely smart person. She immediately realized what he meant, blushed and spat: "What are you thinking about in your head?"
Then her face showed a smile as if the ice had just melted: "I know you care about me, don't worry, I was in charge of the Chu family in the past few years, and I have never seen any conspiracy."
Only then did Zu An feel relieved: "I have forgotten that my dear wife is a proud daughter of heaven who is in charge of her own business, haha."
After all, there were some jailers not far away. Chu Chu was so young-looking that he really couldn't handle being called "kiss my wife" and so on, so he left as if running away.
A group of jailers came over to him with envious expressions to learn about the art of controlling wives. Zu An was bragging to them while asking them about matters in the palace.
"Concubine Bai? Concubine Bai has always lived in seclusion. Not many people know her current situation."
"I heard that her personal maid has been missing for several days."
"Not necessarily. Now that such a big thing has happened in the East Palace, Baihua Palace must keep a low profile. It is normal for the personal maid not to show up."
"Speaking of what happened to the Crown Princess, Concubine Bai is the most likely candidate to become the Crown Princess."
…
Zu An was thoughtful when he heard some of the jailers talking.
After a while, he asked again: "What is the situation of the Crown Princess now? Haha.
Ha, this question is a bit sensitive. After all, she and I are both involved in the case. If it’s not convenient for you to answer, you don’t have to say anything. "
The jailers looked at each other, and then someone smiled and said, "Master Zu, you're welcome. We all know that you and the Crown Princess were unjust, so it's no big deal to tell you this."
"That's right. Yesterday, the palace asked the nun to check the body of the Crown Princess. There were no signs of the Crown Princess being violated by a man."
"More than that, I heard that the Crown Princess is still a virgin."
"This is impossible. The prince and the princess have been married for so long, how can they still be virgins?"
"Our prince..."
…
If he had rescued the Tianlao assassin before, they might not have dared to say so much. The main reason was that they had received news that the Crown Princess was innocent, so they felt safe and bold to discuss this with him.
Zu An coughed and said, "You guys must be careful, this must be some gossip spreading random information to smear the prince. You must not fall into the trap."
Several jailers suddenly realized: "So that's it, Master Zu saved us again."
A group of people thanked each other timidly, and Zu An said a few words before falling into deep thought.
I didn't expect that the Crown Princess didn't lie to me. She was actually a virgin after all these years of marriage. However, if the news is exposed at this time, she will probably be in a lot of trouble later.
The emperor shouldn't be so unwise to expose her virginity?
Could it be that she is from the lineage of King Qi? But doesn't this clear her suspicion of being involved in this incident?
He thought for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. He always felt that it was not that simple behind it.
Time passed unknowingly, and the chatting guards had already dispersed. Zu An was sitting alone in the cell thinking about the whole thing.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!" A jailer came over, put down a food box, and turned to leave.
He didn't expect to eat prison food so soon. Zu An looked at the big bowl in front of him, because the prisoners in the sky jail were not ordinary prisoners, and the food was not bad.
At least the white rice is adequate, with some vegetables and a bit of meat in it.
After running around all night, he was really hungry. Zu An picked up the bowl and was about to devour it.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he looked up at the prisoner who was leaving: "Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?" The jailer turned around, his tone a little impatient.
Zu An looked at him and said, "Why do you look unfamiliar? Why haven't I seen you before?"
The jailer said, "I've just been transferred here."
Zu An smiled slightly: "Can you please help me call General Guo? I remembered important information and wanted to report it to him."
The jailer said impatiently: "Eat your food, General Guo has no time to see you."
After saying that, he cursed and left.
Zu An looked down at the rice in the bowl and fell into deep thought.
I don’t know how long it took, but Right Guard General Guo Zhi came over with a group of people: “Brother Zu, Lord Zongzheng, they want to interrogate you.”
Zu An lay motionless in the cell.
Guo Zhi shouted several times without responding, and his expression changed: "Something happened!"
He hurriedly opened the cell door and rushed to Zu An. Seeing his face covered with bruises, he hurriedly shouted: "You're poisoned. Call the doctor!"
The jailers hurriedly ran out, while Guo Zhi hurriedly used his strength to try to force out the poison for Zu An.
At this time, Zhen Xueyi, Jiang Boyang, and Murong Tong also came after hearing the news:
"What happened?"
"Zu An was poisoned?"
"What do you do for food?"
…
The shocked and angry voices of the three old men came.
At this time, Zu An, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sat up: "I'm fine."
"Ah?" Guo Zhi looked confused. Wasn't this guy dying just now?
Zu An smiled apologetically at him: "Thank you, Brother Guo, for saving me. It was my helpless move just now."
He was suspicious when he saw the unfamiliar jailer before. After what happened last time to save the demon cult assassin, he knew almost all the jailers in the sky prison. During this time, everyone was bragging and spanking together, and the relationship between the two parties was good.
Even if a new jailer does come, it is impossible for such an important prisoner to be sent away by a new prisoner.
There must be something wrong with that person!
Zu An's first reaction was that someone wanted to silence him, but he was not sure who wanted to silence him.
In fact, the biggest suspect is Guo Zhi. After all, Tianlao is his territory, and no one is more suitable than him to take action.
So he didn't dare to say anything at the time and could only pretend to be poisoned.
When Guo Zhi came in, he was already on high alert, in case he saw that he was still alive and wanted to make up for it.
When the other party forced poison on him, he secretly used the Taotie Devouring Heaven Technique. Once Guo Zhi's true energy tried to hurt him, he immediately sucked all the opponent's energy away. However, he did not expect that the other party's true energy was peaceful. Indeed, He was the one who forced the poison for him.
Even so, he didn't dare to be careless. He could only wait until Jiang Boyang and others arrived together before getting up.
Now he can't trust anyone. Relatively speaking, Jiang Boyang is more trustworthy. After all, he has a relationship with the beautiful principal.
Of course, he would not completely trust the other party just because of this. The main reason was that these three Jiuqing represented various forces. They monitored and balanced each other, and no one could do anything.
Murong Tong immediately frowned: "Zu An, what are you doing?"
Zu An sighed and pointed to the bowl of rice buried in the straw in the corner: "Someone wants to poison me."
