"After all, he was someone who had been searched out from that dungeon, so I didn't dare to let him go." Rong Lian said truthfully.
Cheng Qi couldn't help but hum: "You obviously have a crush on that little white face!"
"Cheng Qi, are you sick or something?" Rong Lin had always been very calm, but whenever she encountered Cheng Qi, she felt like she couldn't calm down at all, and was even about to blow her top.
She got angry, and Cheng Qi's momentum inexplicably weakened a bit, but she couldn't help humming softly and muttering, "Originally it was, I said that little white face looked like he wasn't a good thing at first glance, just use severe torture to get the truth out of him, you didn't want to, instead you kept him in prison and fed him well, what's your intention?"
Rong Lian took a deep breath and swung his fist, scaring Cheng Qi to hide behind Chu Ci again. Rong Lian's anger was uncontrollable as he shouted: "Does your family's prison starve people to death by not feeding them in the dungeon?"
"Cheng Qi!" Chu Ci frowned and gave Cheng Qi a stern look, which finally made Cheng Qi behave herself, but it was clear that she was still very resentful in her heart.
"Is he now locked up in the Ming government office?" Chu Ci asked Rong Lou again.
"Locked up."
"I'll go back and clarify with the authorities." Chu Ci thought this was just an unexpected interlude, and continued to ask, "How's the progress on the west side of the city?"
Rong Lang's face turned somewhat heavy, "Under the lock-down range of the Crown Prince, we caught a lot of underlings planted in Kyoto, but...the west side of the city was still harmed by White Poison, and many people died."
Speaking of this, Cheng Qi looked at Chu Ci with a bit of curiosity again, "Chu Ci, did you really get poisoned?"
Chu Ci heard Rong Lou say that many people had died from the poison, but she was now standing here perfectly fine. Chu Ci felt a strange and uneasy feeling in her heart.
However, before she could say anything, the silent Situ Fei suddenly walked over and said slowly: "Can I have a few words with the Crown Princess?"
Cheng Qi glanced at Situ Fei, and since Situ Fei had done a good job in controlling the spread of the plague in the city over the past few days, Cheng Qi gave him some face. He turned his head to say something to Rong Lin, but before he could speak, Rong Lin didn't even look at him and turned to leave.
Cheng Qi saw this and also hurriedly followed up.
After they all left, Situ Fei looked at Chen Lan again, and Chen Lan was very relieved to see Situ Fei nodding his head before retreating to the courtyard outside.
Chu Ci couldn't help but slightly furrow her brow, "What does Sir Situ want to say to me?"
"Is it the Crown Prince who helped the Crown Princess detoxify?" asked Situ Fei, pausing for a moment before self-denying, "No, looking at the Crown Princess's complexion, it doesn't seem like she has fully recovered, but rather obtained some relief, right?"
Chu Ci furrowed her brow and nodded slightly.
"So, would it be inconvenient for Your Highness the Crown Prince's consort to tell me what method His Highness used to help you alleviate your addiction?" asked Situ Fei again.
"It's inconvenient."
She wouldn't dare tell anyone about this, it's too embarrassing.
However, Situ Fei smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, although the Crown Princess doesn't want to say it, I can probably guess that this will make the Crown Prince pay a pretty big price. Who made the Crown Prince care about the Crown Princess?"
Situ Fei said, and then paused lightly again, looking up at Chu Ci and continuing: "However, the Crown Prince's consort, there are still seventy-eight people trapped in the isolation zone, struggling with the White Poison. Every day, someone dies there. If they knew that the Crown Prince's consort, who was originally poisoned just like them, is now safe and sound in front of everyone, what do you think they would think?"
