Chapter 1359: Chapter 1359: The Empress Dowager

"It’s truly pitiable, Ya Jingbai, who made you have such a mother? If you don’t suffer, who will?" Ya Enxi was pouring water for him while saying.

"No, no, you can’t do this, Jingbai knows nothing, he knows absolutely nothing!"

Mother Ya watched her son being poisoned, and screamed in horror, her eyes bulging out in a terrifying manner.

"If he doesn’t know, it’s enough that you know!" Beidou said to her.

Did they really expect them to be courteous to these people who had been selling out her master’s information day after day?

Even if Ya Jingbai knew nothing, what then? Who made her his mother? That was the reason he deserved this plight!

"Aunt Ya, do you want to wait until your son wakes up in pain and then talk, or are you going to speak now, hmm?" Ya Enxi looked at Mother Ya, raising an eyebrow before asking.

"You... you are not human!"

Mother Ya glared at them hatefully, gritting her teeth as she spoke.

In order to make her talk, they truly stopped at nothing, even poisoning Jingbai who knew nothing!

"What do you want to know? Just ask!" she said.

"Heh heh!"

Beidou gave a soft laugh.

"Wouldn’t it have been easier to be this cooperative from the start? Enxi, those two are getting too noisy."

She glanced at Ya Enxi and said.

Ya Enxi immediately grabbed one person in each hand, dragging away Ya Jinghong and Ban Yilu, who were rolling on the ground and howling, out of the room.

"Alright, now it’s your turn, tell me, who is your master?" Beidou turned to Mother Ya and asked.

"It’s the Empress Dowager."

Mother Ya bit her teeth and said.

"What?!"

Even as calm as Beidou usually was, he couldn’t imagine what he had just heard?

The suspects had only been the Emperor, Prince Yi and his wife, Princess Consort Lian, and nothing more.

But he had not expected the person behind Mother Ya to be the Empress Dowager!

"Is it truly the Empress Dowager?" she asked again.

She found it hard to believe. The Empress Dowager? Could this be some kind of stretch?

"Of course it is."

Mother Ya was remarkably certain.

"I was originally a senior palace maid beside the Empress Dowager. If you don’t believe it, you can have Prince Mo investigate; with his exceptional abilities, he surely can find out!"

"The Empress Dowager!"

To think it was the Empress Dowager, the old woman whom she originally thought was most kind to her master.

Indeed, in the royal palace of Wei State, not a single person was good!

...

After a short while, back at the residence of Sui Zimo.

Ya Enxi and Beidou had returned, having knocked out a few people in the bamboo house with acupoint-hitting techniques, before they came back to report.

But they also saw that Ya Yufeng and Nangong Piao’er, who were sent to town, had also returned.

"Master, Mother Ya is a person of the Empress Dowager," Ya Enxi reported to Sui Zimo.

"The Empress Dowager? Wasn’t it supposed to be Princess Consort Yi?"

Before Sui Zimo could react, Nangong Piao’er took over Ya Enxi’s words.

"Master, those people from the town have already confessed; they were sent by Prince Yi."

But if Mother Ya was indeed associated with those people from the town, then they should share the same master, right? But now, upon questioning her, it turned out to be two different groups?

Both Ya Enxi and Beidou were stunned upon hearing Nangong Piao’er’s words.

"Master, this... is somewhat strange," they said in unison as they looked towards Sui Zimo, with Ya Yufeng speaking up.
