Chapter 378: Chapter 379: Who Is Using Her?

Pei Huaian moved quickly, having found a clue within three days.

"Master, everything is ready," Ah Mo reported to the person about to administer the medicine.

"Understood." Pei Huaian took out a handkerchief and wiped the medicine stains from Shao He’s lips.

Shao He asked, "Who is it?"

She wanted to know who was behind all this.

"We’ll find out if we look together," Pei Huaian said with a gentle smile.

Shao He’s eyes widened in surprise, "You mean, I can join you?"

These past days, Pei Huaian hadn’t even allowed her to leave the bed, almost making her feel moldy from lying continuously on this pearwood bed.

Pei Huaian curved his finger, flicking her forehead gently, and spoke softly, "Of course."

Excited, Shao He was about to throw off the covers and get out of bed, but Pei Huaian restrained her, "What are you doing?"

"Aren’t we going to interrogate the prisoner?"

"Yes."

"Then let’s hurry up and go."

Eager to get out of bed and move around, Shao He felt she was nearly fused to the bed.

"Don’t move rashly, your wound hasn’t healed yet, you must rest in bed," Pei Huaian said seriously.

"But..."

"Ah Mo, bring the person here."

Pei Huaian cut her off, instructing Ah Mo, who stood beside him.

"Yes, Master." Ah Mo responded and turned to leave.

Shao He reluctantly sat back down on the bed to wait for Ah Mo to bring the person.

Soon, two guards escorted a vibrantly dressed woman in.

She kneeled on the floor and looked up, revealing a pale and haggard face, "Commoner girl pays respect to the Fifth Prince."

After speaking, the woman bowed her head, appearing frightened.

Shao He frowned; she didn’t recognize the woman before her and didn’t remember treating her or having any conflicts.

"Why did you frame me?" Shao He asked, puzzled.

"No, no, the commoner girl is wronged, I never framed Doctor Shao," the woman denied, shaking her head in terror, tears filling her eyes.

Shao He looked surprisingly at Pei Huaian, who coldly stated, "If that’s the case, then why were you captured?"

"Someone wronged the commoner girl, I am wronged," the woman sobbed miserably, "Please release the commoner girl."

"You claim you were framed; where is the evidence?" Shao He asked coldly.

The woman fell silent for a moment before speaking, "Commoner girl heard of Doctor Shao’s excellent medical skills, so I wanted to ask Doctor Shao to diagnose,"

Choking up, the woman sobbed, "but I was momentarily deceived by others and thus was used..."

Before she could finish her words, tears pooled in her eyes and finally, unable to hold back, they fell.

"Is that all?"

"That’s it. That person asked the commoner girl to spy and report the news about Anji Hall to her, the commoner girl truly knows nothing else," the woman said, but could no longer control herself and began crying loudly on the floor.

"Shut up!" Pei Huaian, hearing her noisy crying, felt extremely irritated.

The woman who had been sobbing instantly quieted down, staring with wide eyes, looking at the people in the cell.

For the first time, she regretted her greed; otherwise, she wouldn’t have gotten into trouble with the prince. Now, she prayed only to leave this place alive.

Pei Huaian patted Shao He’s shoulder, "Let me handle this, you rest well."

"No, I need to know the truth," Shao He held his wrist firm.

"You are injured now, you must rest!" Pei Huaian was very dissatisfied, she was so careless about her health.

Their gazes met, and ultimately, it was Pei Huaian who relented.

Turning to look at the woman kneeling on the ground, he picked up a teacup from the table and threw it, "Are you sure what you said is the truth?"

"Every word the commoner girl said is true, if the Fifth Prince does not believe it, you may investigate it thoroughly," the woman declared resolutely.

Pei Huaian glanced at her indifferently, "Ah Mo."

"Master."

"Go check if what she said is true."

"Yes."

"Also, detain her for now."

Pei Huaian would rather mistakenly kill a thousand than let one guilty person go.

"The commoner girl is wronged..." the woman cried out in utter despair, then promptly fainted.

"Take her away," Pei Huaian said impatiently, waving his hand.

"As you command, Master."

After Ah Mo took the woman away, Shao He asked in confusion, "Was what she said false?"

"It should be true."

This caused Shao He’s mouth to twitch, if what the woman said was true, why still detain her.

However, she couldn’t ponder too much on it now, as there were more pressing matters at hand.

"She just mentioned, someone used her?" Shao He raised an eyebrow.

"Yes."

"The person who used her must be no simple figure."

Shao He reflected on who might have targeted her, analyzing, "If the Empress wanted to harm me, she would definitely not leave any survivors, so excluding him and the Second Prince, that only leaves the Fourth Prince and the Xia family."

"The Xia family shouldn’t have, Xia Zhaoshun has only just returned to the capital to report for duty and won’t act against you yet," Pei Huaian said, his eyes slightly narrowing.

"Then it must be Pei Jingyi."

Shao He touched her chin, "Could it be because I saved the Emperor, and now that the Emperor has decreed a marriage between you and me, he feels threatened?"

"It may not necessarily be him."
