Hard to be a good wife

"Who were the ones who drank flower wine with you last night, and when they left, please write them down one by one." Tang Yue said to the young man opposite with a pleasant face.

The young man was flustered at first, but after seeing Tang Yue, he was relieved a lot. Although he was powerless, he also knew the famous Tang doctor, the princess.

"What is the purpose of the Crown Princess in inviting me here? My Earl's Mansion doesn't seem to be sorry for you, right?"

Tang Yue knelt down on the hay, pointed to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him, and said with a smile, "It's fine as long as you write down the question I just asked, and it's not to make things difficult for you."

"The Crown Princess really thinks I'm a three-year-old child? When did the Southern Jin Dynasty allow the Crown Princess to arrest and interrogate people at will? Do you know the Crown Prince?"

"It is said that Mr. Yuan is ignorant and only loves beauties and wine. It doesn't sound like that. Does your father know that you are so eloquent?"

The corner of Gongzi Yuan's mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Crown Princess!"

Tang Yue tapped the pen and paper on the table, and looked at him calmly.

The person who can drink flowers and wine at the same table with Wang Zixian must have a good relationship with him, and generally such people would respect and stay away from the prince. The reason why Tang Yue put on such a posture was because he was afraid that they would deliberately conceal the truth.

Fortunately, this young master Yuan was not a thorn in his head, he wrote a few words angrily, dropped the pen, stood up and said, "Can I leave, my young master?"

Tang Yue read through what he wrote first, and when he saw Wang Zixian's name on it, he asked someone to take him out.

"Please ask Mr. Yuan to have a cup of tea before leaving. We can't let the Earl's House think that our Prince's House can't even afford a cup of tea." Tang Yue explained in particular.

Gongzi Yuan glared at him, and without arguing, he obediently was blindfolded and walked out of the dungeon.

Tang Yue compared the list written by the first one, and asked Wang Dingjun to bring the fish that slipped through the net. Although there is no difference between one more person and one less person, as a doctor, caution is the principle, and it doesn't take much effort anyway.

Not everyone is so cooperative, there are people who don't want to succumb to the majesty of the prince's mansion, they fold their arms and sneer, as if "what can you do to me".

"You really don't want to write?" Tang Yue asked again, "Or do you not know how to write?"

"Hmph!" The other party still rolled his eyes at him, quite individualistic.

Tang Yue moved forward, propped his chin to look at him, and there was an extra small scalpel in his hand, turning it leisurely.

"Do you know what it feels like to cut a person alive?" Tang Yue pointed at the other person's chest with the tip of the knife, "Go down with a knife from here, separate more than ten layers of muscle layers, open layer by layer, and then... You can see your heart beating, thumping...thumping...Young people are in good health, the heart must be bright red and active, do you want to see it?"

The other party shivered, took a few steps back, and stared at Tang Yue in horror: "You...you dare!"

"Why don't I dare? After you appreciate your heartbeat, I'll sew the flesh and skin on for you. I will absolutely guarantee that you won't die. The wound will heal after a few days of rest. Even if you tell me, will anyone believe it?"

The young man remembered the rumors outside and knew that [-]% of what he said was true. When he thought of that scene, he couldn't help but want to vomit, and his blood seemed to freeze.

"Are you trying to make an enemy of the entire Duanmu family? Didn't His Royal Highness tell you that our Duanmu family controls the timber of the entire Southern Jin Dynasty, not ordinary people."

Tang Yue dug his ears, he heard too many words like this today, he must tell Prince Zhao when he goes back, and ask him why he wants to know these things?

"It's just wood. If your family doesn't do ours, can't you do it? Do you know how many mountains and forests there are in the Liyanghou Mansion alone? Besides, you don't think it's unwise to say such things in the Prince's Mansion." Is it? As long as His Highness says a word, the Duanmu family can completely disappear from the Southern Jin Kingdom."

"You..." The young man became afraid now, but his strong self-esteem could not allow him to bow his head, "Hmph, even if you kill me, I won't feel like writing."

Tang Yue took out a stack of papers from his sleeve and counted them one by one: "This is the testimony of Mr. Yuan...this is from Mr. Lu...this is from Young Master Li...and this is..."

After counting one by one, Tang Yue slapped it on the table, "My son is not bad for you, but... the attitude of your son is really irritating, presumably the whole Duanmu family wants to get close to Wang Zixian. Is it right to fight with Prince Zhao?"

"Nonsense! If you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse. My Duanmu family's heart is the king!" No matter how stupid the young man is, he knows that if such words are spread, it will be a fatal blow to the Duanmu family.

It doesn't matter that he had a close relationship with Wang Zixian himself, after all, he is just a worthless junior in the family, but if the entire Duanmu family is crowned as supporting the third prince, then the first one who can't spare their family is the king.

"How to prove it?" Tang Yue squinted at him.

"Hmph, don't you just want to use the aggressive method to make me submit? What does my son say or not have to do with proving the sincerity of the Duanmu family?"

"Why doesn't it matter? His Royal Highness was attacked in Suying Pavilion that night, and you... and Wang Zixian are all there. Who knows if you are the murderers who assassinated His Royal Highness?"

"What?" The young man glared angrily, and roared angrily: "Don't spitting blood at others! You behaved badly, ran to make trouble, and you want to blame us for being disliked by His Royal Highness?"

"Tsk, it seems that this prickly head is a bit difficult to fool."

"What do you think?" Tang Yue changed his posture to relieve his numb legs.

"It's impossible to frame us. We had already left that day, and we didn't see His Royal Highness at all."

"Oh? When did you leave?"

"Second hour of Haishi." The young man looked at Tang Yue triumphantly, his small eyes clearly said: Ask, keep asking, see how you want to frame him.

"Did all of you leave together? I'm afraid not? Maybe some of you left first, creating the illusion that you have already left, and the other part stayed behind to plan the conspiracy, and then sneaked away after it was done. Who knows who you are? Isn't it really not there?"

"Why don't you know? At that time, the bustard of Suying Pavilion personally sent us out, accompanied by several beauties. These are witnesses!"

"What about Wang Zixian? Did he also go with you?"

"This..." The young man hesitated for a while, Wang Zixian said that night that he fell in love with a new beauty and wanted to stay overnight, so naturally he didn't leave with them.

But should I say this?

The young man glanced at the paper in Tang Yue's hand, presumably others would say it even if he didn't say it?

"I don't know when Wang Zixian left, you have to ask him." The young man thought to himself: This is a struggle between the third prince and the prince, and he can't participate in it.

As for who wins and who loses, what does it have to do with him?At best, what he lost was a friend with whom he could drink and pick up girls.

Wang Zixian is usually not a generous person, and the purpose of making friends is not pure. Everyone is willing to play with him, but there may not be a few who really confide in him.

Although Prince Zhao had never had any relationship with them, and he could not even recognize them when they met, the young man still believed in him all his life.

"Young master is enough. You see, I don't mean to embarrass you. I just want you to provide some information and tell the truth. Why is it so difficult?" Tang Yue shook his head and sighed.

The young man suddenly became furious, pointed at him and shouted: "Just for your attitude, for this smoky place, why do you want me to tell the truth? You dare to threaten me, my son, I must go and talk to His Royal Highness , see if the family rules of the Prince's Mansion are so lax?"

Tang Yue put the paper away, put it under his arm, stood up and looked at him with a smile, "His Royal Highness should have returned by this time, how about having a light meal in the mansion?"

After Tang Yue finished speaking, he didn't care whether he agreed or not, and walked out first. Behind him, two guards subdued the young man, blindfolded him and took him out.

Tang Yue did what he said, and he had people prepare the bowls and chopsticks for the youth and a table of hearty meals.

The young man suddenly ate at the same table with Prince Zhao, so frightened that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet, and frequently cast angry and begging eyes at Tang Yue.

"Eat, don't be too polite, you have wasted a lot of time, so this meal should be considered as compensation." Tang Yue said politely.

The young man wanted to cry but had no tears. If he had known this, it would have been better if he had recruited him from the beginning, or let him have his stomach ripped open.

Grain by grain of rice was delivered to his mouth, and the young man had a tasteless meal. Looking back afterwards, he regretted it. He had heard that the food in the Prince's Mansion was delicious and unparalleled in the world, but he wasted it. What a pity!hateful!
