Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.
Chapter 254 Spies, every family has them!
A cold glint flashed in the Crown Prince's eyes as he looked at Granny Guo: "In my Northern Xuan Imperial City, to be so arrogant and harm my loyal ministers, no matter whose side you are on, I will not tolerate it today and will severely punish the villains behind you."
After saying that, he said to Marquis Xuanwu, "Marquis Zhong, administer the torture."
A hint of disdain flashed in Granny Guo's eyes. Would she be afraid of torture?
"It seems she's not afraid of torture," the Crown Prince said.
Hai Qiongyan stepped forward at this moment and said, "Coincidentally, I have a Truth-Telling Pill on hand. After taking this pill, I guarantee that this old woman will tell me whatever she wants!"
As she spoke, Hai Qiongyan took out a medicine bottle from her sleeve.
This True Word Pill was given to him by Ying Yufu last time, but he didn't use it and kept it.
A cold smile appeared in Granny Guo's eyes. A truth-telling pill? How could ordinary people possess such a thing?
It's just a bluff!
The court officials craned their necks, staring at the elixir in Hai Qiongyan's hand, and exclaimed in astonishment, "Lord Hai, is there really such a miraculous elixir?"
Hai Qiongyan smiled mysteriously at them, "You colleagues will know once you've seen it with your own eyes."
After saying that, Hai Qiongyan stepped forward and fed the pill to Granny Guo.
Haiqiong nodded to Marquis Xuanwu.
Marquis Xuanwu then looked at Zhou Mo.
Zhou Mo understood and stepped forward to put Guo Mama's chin back in place.
As soon as she returned to her place, Granny Zhou's eyes flashed with mockery: "How ridiculous! Do you think I'll say anything just because you're like this?"
After saying this, she was about to bite her tongue and commit suicide, with utmost determination.
Everyone gasped in shock. This old woman was no ordinary person; her behavior was exactly like that of a suicide squad.
However, the next moment, Granny Guo froze.
Because her mouth was out of control.
[Ding! The face-slapping mechanism has been triggered. Let this Granny Guo know the power of the Truth-Telling Pill!]
The system's voice rang in Ying Yufu's mind.
Ying Yufu paused for a moment, realizing that this must be Xiao Dianqian's doing.
Sure enough, Little Madman said: [Host, this old woman actually doesn't believe in the power of the Truth-Say Pill. Today, I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget. This is a system product, no questions asked!]
Just as Ying Yufu was about to speak, she heard Lady Xuanwu Marquis say incredulously, "Granny Guo, why? Why did you poison our wine?"
Her eyes held shock and hurt. "Over the years, I've never doubted how well I've treated you. Besides, Granny Guo, you were part of my dowry!"
Granny Guo finally turned her head to look at the Lady of Xuanwu Marquis, a trace of regret appearing in her eyes. "Madam, I'm sorry, this old servant already had a master."
You have indeed treated this old servant well over the years, but this old servant is originally a member of the Chrysanthemum Hall.
I approached you back then only because I heard that you were engaged to Zhong Kang. In order to enter the Xuanwu Marquis's mansion legitimately, this old servant tried every means to become your dowry maid.
Later, the old servant even tried to seduce Zhong Kang, but unfortunately, he didn't fancy her.
Upon hearing this, not only did Lady Xuanwu's expression change drastically, but the other guests also stared in shock, their expressions exploding.
This old woman must be twenty years older than Zhong Kang, right?
The key point is... she actually said it!
Could that True Word Pill be real?
When Granny Guo realized what she had said, she was stunned.
[Ding! Successfully slapped Granny Guo in the face! System reward: 2 points!]
The system beeped.
Little Dian was very pleased with himself.
Marquis Xuanwu's expression was equally interesting. How could he not know that Granny Guo had once tried to seduce him?
He tried hard to recall, and suddenly remembered that several years ago, when Granny Guo looked at him, her eyes kept twitching.
So, she wasn't just having an eye twitch; she was actually trying to seduce him?
Another time, Granny Guo collapsed right at his feet. He thought Granny Guo was old, so he immediately found a doctor to check her legs.
At that time, Granny Guo's expression seemed very ferocious, and he thought it was because she was in unbearable pain.
Marquis Xuanwu's lips twitched involuntarily as he thought of the miraculous fertility potion and realized that this True Word Pill was probably real as well.
He immediately asked, "Granny Guo, are you from Chrysanthemum Hall?"
Granny Guo was about to deny it, but her mouth seemed to be out of her control, and she said, "That's right, I am from Chrysanthemum Hall, and my mother was a senior palace maid of the previous dynasty."
Good heavens, this is a spy from the Chrysanthemum Hall with a long tradition.
Granny Guo realized that the so-called "True Word Pill" was probably real.
[Ding! Successfully slapped Granny Guo in the face! System reward: 2 points!]
Marquis Xuanwu asked sternly, "Granny Guo, how many spies does your Chrysanthemum Hall still have lurking in the capital?"
Granny Guo sneered, "I don't know about that, but there are definitely quite a few. Every one of you high-ranking officials in Beixuan has them!"
A collective gasp rippled through the guests.
Marquis Wuding, in particular, turned pale. "My family has one too?"
Granny Guo glanced at him disdainfully. "Of course there are. Your family has the most. Because you're timid and afraid of death, and you act cautiously, we actually have to send more people."
Marquis Wuding: "..."
Marquis Wuding rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Pah! Shameful!" Granny Guo glared at Marquis Wuding with disdain.
The other nobles of Beixuan glanced at Marquis Wuding and also felt somewhat ashamed.
This guy was so scared he fainted.
How could the old Marquis of Wuding have given birth to such a useless son?
"Besides you, who else is in my Xuanwu Marquis's mansion?" the old Xuanwu Marquis said in a deep voice.
Granny Guo glanced at him and said, "Besides me, the only other person in your household is Pang Jian, but Pang Jian should have already been killed by you."
"Hmph, your family is really lucky; you actually found your biological son who had been missing for over a decade."
Lady Xuanwu suddenly realized something: "When I was giving birth, you were by my side the whole time, Granny Guo. Did you also participate in switching my son?"
Granny Guo said arrogantly, "Of course, there was originally a noble person who wanted to exchange your son, but that noble person wasn't very capable, so I helped out."
"A noble person? Who is that noble person?" Marquis Xuanwu asked sternly.
"Hmph, who told your son to be some kind of general, and to happen to share the same birthdate as the Crown Prince? So, of course, he's a nobleman..."
Suddenly, Granny Guo's words caught in her throat. Her eyes widened, her eyeballs bulged, and she died suddenly.
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
Ying Yufu also stood up in surprise. She stared intently at Granny Guo. With her sharp eyes, she noticed a faint glint of silver light on the back of Granny Guo's head.
Someone killed Granny Guo just as she was about to reveal crucial information.
She scanned the entire room, and everyone else did the same; at that moment, the atmosphere was incredibly eerie.
"Host, it's that person, the guard behind Marquis Wuding. He just killed Granny Guo," Xiao Dian said.
Marquis Wuding was timid and afraid of death, and the guards behind him were also top-notch experts.
Little did he know that his guards were spies.
The guard was about forty years old, with prominent temples, clearly a master among masters.
Ying Yufu narrowed her eyes. "Xiao Dian, see who else in this scene is a spy for the Chrysanthemum Hall. Find them all and arrest them."
Xiao Dian: [Host, there are no triggering conditions, I don't know either. I was only able to catch him just now because he made the move.]
It turned out to be the case.
Ying Yufu looked at the guard behind Marquis Wuding. This man's movements were extremely fast and steady, and she hadn't even noticed them.
Granny Guo almost revealed the Empress's name.
The guard behind Marquis Wuding noticed Ying Yufu's gaze and suddenly met her eyes.
Ying Yufu smiled slightly at him and said, "Hey guard, take off your clothes!"
Just then, Marquis Wuding slowly woke up and heard Ying Yufu's words.
Marquis Wuding instinctively said, "Princess Anguo, my guards are old and unattractive. Isn't this inappropriate?"
Ying Yufu: "..."
The aging and faded guard: "..."
