Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Chu Hesheng Gets Poisoned

Sky Prison.

"General, how did you end up here as well?"

Men and women were imprisoned separately, but the Sky Prison was only so big, and it did not take long for Jiang and the others to see across it, where Chu Hesheng was being escorted in.

Chu You and the others looked as if they had seen a ghost.

They had been hoping that if their father were outside, he could definitely find a way to rescue them, but who knew he would also be brought in.

Hearing Jiang’s words, Chu Hesheng’s expression was very grim.

Upon hearing that the Chu Residence was in trouble, his first reaction was to hide, thinking that if he could preserve himself, he wouldn’t fear running out of firewood.

But today, he thought that hiding was no solution.

If the so-called Princess of Nanduan Kingdom could not wake up, the Chu Family would genuinely face a mass execution, and all the power he had struggled for his entire life would vanish into thin air.

Thus, he thought of the Crown Prince...

Over the years, he had done so much for the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince wouldn’t abandon him in his hour of need.

But the Eastern Palace was not easy to enter, so he thought of going to the Liu Residence to see the Grand Tutor for help.

Who knew that on the way, he would be intercepted by Yan Lin.

Thinking of Yan Lin, Chu Hesheng felt so much hatred that he nearly crushed his teeth.

Ever since Yan Lin recovered from his eye illness, he had become even more difficult to deal with.

Exhaling a cloud of foul air, Chu Hesheng snorted, not wanting to speak any more than necessary with a woman like Jiang, and directly turned and sat down.

In the meantime, Jiang and the others were restless.

"Mother, since father is unreliable, we can only seek help from elder brother...", Chu You pulled at Jiang’s sleeve, speaking anxiously.

Jiang clenched her fingers tightly, her expression grave.

In fact, unless absolutely necessary, she did not want to involve her only son.

After a long contemplation, she nodded, "Mother will try to figure out a way to send a message out from here, and have someone call your elder brother back."

But across from them, upon hearing her words, Chu Hesheng immediately shouted angrily, "The benevolence of a woman! With the Chu Family in such a state, you should keep your foster son as far away from the Chu Family as possible. Asking him to come back is like dragging him down too!"

"But, foster son he...", Jiang agreed, wanting to argue.

But Chu Hesheng’s expression had already turned even uglier: "This is an order. No one is allowed to contact him. The Chu Family’s situation, this general will find a way."

He will find a way, yet he’s imprisoned; what can he even do!

It was the first time Jiang harbored resentment towards Chu Hesheng in her heart.

The Emperor at this time seemed to be looking for a scapegoat, probably not even planning to give them a chance to defend themselves, he was ready to dispose of them.

This, even a woman like her could see clearly, so why couldn’t the General see it?

Both sides were upset, and neither spoke anymore.

Late into the night, a jailer came carrying something to Chu Hesheng’s side.

"General Chu, I heard you haven’t had dinner yet, this was prepared for you."

Prepared food for him at this time?

A flicker of emotion passed through Chu Hesheng’s eyes.

He quickly stood up and walked over, his piercing gaze scrutinizing the jailer.

The jailer bowed his head, pulling out a token, then quickly put it away again.

This token... was from the Liu Residence.

"Did Lord Liu send you?" Chu Hesheng squinted his eyes, asking sharply.

"Yes, General Chu, our lord asks you not to worry, he and the Crown Prince will definitely find a way to rescue you," the person continued respectfully.

Hearing this, the wariness in Chu Hesheng’s eyes finally eased somewhat.

"The Crown Prince has always been trying to think of ways to rescue the Chu Residence, so General, please don’t make any rash moves. This food was prepared by the Grand Tutor for you, and he also requests that you do not reveal his secrets when the Emperor interrogates you," the jailer said unhurriedly as he took out the food from the food box.

"Hmph, as long as your Grand Tutor does not kick me while I’m down, I will keep his secrets in my belly," Chu Hesheng retorted.

Chu Hesheng spoke coldly.

The jailer, who was bringing food in, paused briefly when he heard this, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

However, he soon regained his composure and said softly, "General Chu, please eat at your leisure. With the orders from the Crown Prince and Grand Tutor Liu, no one in the prison dares to trouble you."

After speaking, he quickly locked the door and left.

Inside the cell, caution remained evident on Chu Hesheng’s face.

However, when he turned back to see the delicious meal, and his stomach was extremely hungry...

Old man Liu probably wouldn’t dare to plot against him.

After all, those who worked for the Crown Prince all held secrets against each other.

With this thought, he could not worry any longer and hastily sat down cross-legged, devouring his food.

But half a moment after the meal settled in his stomach, he clutched his throat, writhing painfully on the ground.

The Jiang family was already unable to sleep, and with such a commotion happening, they instantly sensed something was wrong.

"Someone come quick, someone come quick, something’s wrong."

Mrs. Jiang, beating on the wooden railing, shouted in panic.

After a while, the rest of the jailers hurried over.

Chu Hesheng convulsed while staring at the food he had knocked onto the floor, his expression twisted.

The food was poisoned!

Old man Liu, to keep his secret from leaking, actually wished to poison him to death.

How ruthless!

He would never let him succeed!

...

Outside Sky Prison.

Wuji shed the jailer’s clothes and quickly came to Princess Chu Baihan’s side.

"Princess, the food has already been delivered to Chu Hesheng, and by now, he must have been poisoned. Those words you told me to say, I have said them all," he said respectfully.

Princess Chu Baihan nodded, "Although the poison is potent, the dose is small; it won’t take Chu Hesheng’s life, it will only cause him to become paralyzed at most."

"Princess, why don’t we just poison him to death?" Wuji asked, frowning.

Ever since he knew about the princess’s past, he harbored a deep hatred for the Chu Family.

"No, letting him die so quickly would be letting him off easy. Only by letting him watch the power he cares about slip away gradually can he be truly tormented. Also, he is an important chess piece for leveraging the Liu Family and the Eastern Palace, and he can’t die yet,"

Princess Chu Baihan’s eyes were filled with a cold light as she spoke.

"By the way, after you told him those words, how did he react?"

Princess Chu Baihan continued to inquire.

Wuji quickly recounted the recent situation to her.

"Princess, you had me test him on a whim, and it really proved something. The Liu Family indeed has a deadly secret," Wuji said gravely.

A sharp light flashed again in Princess Chu Baihan’s eyes.

"Continue to watch Sky Prison and the Liu Family closely, we must make them fight among themselves," she said coolly.

"Yes, Princess."

"What about the other princes, especially the Crown Prince, have there been any recent movements?" Princess Chu Baihan continued to ask.

Yan Xiao knew she was Princess Chu Baihan, this man was extremely dangerous, and they had to keep a close watch on him.

"Reporting to the Princess, the princes seem to be secretly investigating who is behind the assassination attempt on you, but the Eastern Palace has made no moves," Wuji promptly responded.

Is that so?

Upon hearing this, Princess Chu Baihan’s eyes darkened.

It was truly terrifying that the Eastern Palace made no moves.

Because they couldn’t guess what Yan Xiao was planning to do.
