I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Chapter 348 First

348 First
After Lu Ze accompanied Lin Suisui to dinner, the two of them chatted for a while. Lu Ze taught Lin Suishou the northern barbarian language for a while before getting up to go to the front yard to deal with some matters.
Lin Suisui didn’t think too much about this. After all, she knew very well that he had been busy recently, so she didn’t ask further. She nodded and continued to review what Lu Ze had taught her just now.
After settling Lin Suisui down, Lu Ze went to the front yard to give some instructions before returning to the dungeon.
“What’s wrong?” Pei Qian was in a good mood and even got someone to move a pot to the torture chamber. There was milky white soup boiling at the bottom of the steaming pot. As he held the dagger in his hand, he placed the thin slice of meat into the pot. Qian He quickly scooped it up and placed it in a small porcelain bowl that had already been mixed with sauce.
After Pei Qian put down the dagger in his hand, he picked up the bowl and took two bites before turning to look at Lu Ze. “Have you finished comforting her?”
There was obvious gloating in his eyes.
This wasn’t a place for a little girl like her to come to, but Lu Ze insisted on bringing her over there. Now that she was frightened, wouldn’t Lu Ze have to coax her?
After receiving Lu Ze’s sideways glance, Pei Qian didn’t say anything else. He gestured for Qian He to prepare a bowl and plate for him. Then, he said, “Why are you back?”
“I’m afraid we’ll have to work hard tonight.” Lu Ze took the wrist guard from Su Qi and slowly put it on. Then, he said indifferently, “No matter what, we have to make them talk.”
“What’s wrong?” Pei Qian stopped spinning the knife in his hand and asked, but he felt that if not for the fact that there was something wrong, Lu Ze wouldn’t have come personally in the middle of the night.
“If you want to expel the mother Gu, you have to plant it in your body.” Lu Ze told Pei Qian the method of driving the mother Gu. Then, he said, “There’s always a risk when the Gu enters your body. I don’t want her to take the risk, so we can only work hard and try our best to make them cooperate.”
Lu Ze’s words immediately perked Pei Qian up.
He looked up at the two women on the scaffold and said with a smile, “In that case, there’s really no other choice.”
After Lin Suisui woke up and washed up the next morning, when she went out, she saw Lu Ze flipping through a stack of paper. When he saw her come out, he smiled at her gently and waved the paper in his hand. “Those two people confessed.”
“Huh?” Lin Suisui was stunned. They had resisted so much yesterday, so why had they changed their mind overnight?
“They were indeed ordered by someone to come to the north.” Lu Ze handed the confession in his hand to her as he briefly explained what he had asked yesterday to Lin Suisui. “The Gu and Lin families in the north wanted to use them to cause trouble so that they could have a chance to rise up again.”
Actually, this wasn’t difficult to understand.
Back then, the Zhou family and the Song family, who had the most outstanding military achievements, were conferred the title of Marquis. As for the Gu and Lin families, they only obtained the title of Earl.
They had been dissatisfied since long ago.
However, the Zhou family and the Song family were powerful, so even if the other two families were dissatisfied, they didn’t dare to object because of the power of these two families.
But now, because of the dispute in the family, the Zhou family and the Song family’s power was greatly diminished!
In that case, how could they allow the Zhou family and the Song family to continue to suppress them?
However, everyone knew that they had their current status because of their previous military merits!
However, there had never been any war in the north. Without the orders of the Imperial Court, even if they wanted to enter the hinterland of the northern barbarians, they didn’t have the guts to mobilize troops.
Moreover, more importantly, they knew that they didn’t have the strength to lead troops deep into the northern barbarian territory to attack the Imperial Court. Therefore, in the end, they thought of another solution.
Their purpose was to cause chaos in the north. Then, they would take advantage of the chaos and blame all of this on the Zhou family and the Song family. This way, if the higher-ups blamed them, the Zhou and Song families would be captured, while their families would be able to rise up and dominate the north.
“In that case, they were the ones who poisoned the soldiers guarding the pass previously?” Lin Suisui immediately thought of the soldiers who had been addicted to hemp leaves.
She almost lost her temper.
This was too much!
“It should be them.” Lu Ze’s expression wasn’t pleasant either. At this moment, he had only told Lin Suisui about a small portion of the crimes. He had not told her about everything, lest he dirty her eyes and ruin her mood.
“Fortunately, we discovered it early and things can still be remedied.
If they really succeed, it won’t be easy for us to stabilize the north later on!
“By the way, we definitely can’t let those two women from the Five Poison Sect go back. I think they might cause trouble for the medical center.”
The two women going to the medical center were probably arranged by the higher-ups.
They had left the medical center but didn’t return safely, so their accomplices would realize that something was wrong and would definitely investigate Rejuvenation Hall, which had just opened not long ago.
“It’s fine.” Lin Suisui comforted her in a low voice. “I didn’t catch these two women in the medical center. For some reason, they went to the back alley of the medical center. I realized that something was wrong, so I instructed Su Le to catch them.
I didn’t think too much about it at first, but because they had the aura of Gu worms on them and because something had happened at the medical center, I detained them for the time being.
I didn’t expect that I really caught the right people.”
“Then we’re fine for the time being.” Lu Ze was stunned when he heard Lin Suisui’s words. Then, he said with a smile, “Su Le was very careful when he sent them over and no one else saw them. I instructed him to bring them back quietly.
Therefore, they didn’t even enter the Imperial City’s government office.”
“I’ve already expelled the Gu in their bodies with pills. This is the last connection between them.” Lin Suisui was very confident in the pill she had refined. “However, the Five Poison Sect has always been elusive, so they definitely won’t give up so easily.”
