Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Prime Minister Guo arrived at the Dali Temple at five in the afternoon.
He was the head of the civil officials and an elder of three dynasties. He was deeply valued as the emperor’s weapon. Even if the minister of the Dali Temple did not follow his lead, he could not offend him.
“Prime Minister Guo.” The minister welcomed him at the door.
Prime Minister Guo said with authority, “I heard that your Dali Temple captured my grandson. Is that true?”
“Ah, that’s true,” the minister admitted.
“I wonder what crime my grandson has committed?”
“He crashed into Emperor Taizu’s statue. This is one. He committed murder.
This is two. The third is that he refused to be arrested and attacked an official.”
Prime Minister Guo flicked his wide sleeve and said coldly, “I understand my grandson. He will never do what you said.”
The minister of the Dali Temple said awkwvardly, “The Third Prince is interrogating Guo Huan inside. If Prime Minister Guo has any questions, you can ask the Third Prince.”
If he couldn’t suppress Prime Minister, the Third Prince could, right? This ability to pass the buck was also impressive.
Prime Minister Guo, accompanied by the minister of the Dali Temple, went to see Guo Huan in the torture chamber.
When he went out just now, he was still awake.
“Your Highness.” Prime Minister Guo bowed to Xiao Zhonghua in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
“Prime Minister Guo.” Xiao Zhonghua nodded slightly. Seeing Prime Minister Guo frown at Guo Huan, he said calmly, “He just fell asleep.”
Prime Minister Guo cupped his hands and said, “I’ve heard about the several crimes committed by my grandson from Lord Liao. I have many doubts and want to ask Your Highness.”
Xiao Zhonghua said, “Prime Minister Guo, there’s no harm in saying so.”
Prime Minister Guo glanced at everyone. “You kept saying that my grandson smashed the statue and injured someone with a knife. Do you have evidence?”
The minister replied, “The officials of the Dali Temple saw him smash the statue with their own eyes. As for the murder, although they didn’t see him kill anyone, according to the victim, he stabbed the victim in the chest.”
Prime Minister Guo snorted coldly. “In that case, it’s the victim’s side of the story.”
Xiao Zhonghua said, “Prime Minister Guo, the victim is Wei Ting.” Prime Minister Guo said confidently, “I know!”
Before coming, the servant told him everything he had found out.
Ordinary princes might not be able to suppress an elder like Prime Minister Guo. However, Xiao Zhonghua did not back down at all. “Therefore, Prime
Minister Guo should understand that Wei Ting will not slander your grandson.”
Prime Minister Guo said coldly, “He won’t slander my grandson. Will my grandson harm him? Is Third Prince biased?”
Xiao Zhonghua said calmly, “Both sides have their own opinions. The Dali Temple is investigating.”
The accompanying servant reported at the door, “Master, Physician Zhu is here!”
Prime Minister Guo said, “My grandson is unconscious. It’s not too much for me to ask the imperial physician to treat him, right?”
Xiao Zhonghua said, “Go ahead.”
Doctor Zhu carried the small medicine box in. He took Guo Huan’s pulse with a strange expression.
“May I ask if Young Master Guo is more agitated than usual?”
“That’s right!” The minister of the Dali Temple was deeply enlightened.
“Irritable,fierce…”
Halfway through, he felt Prime Minister Guo’s death stare. He choked. “He’s indeed more agitated than usual.’ Physician Zhu said, “Looks like it.”
“What is it?” the minister asked.
“He was drugged,” Doctor Zhu asked. “Can you find what he took or drank today?”
The minister said, “This… Ah, a carriage!”
The carriage, which was the first crime scene, was retained by the Dali Temple. The things inside were all physical evidence, and none of them had been touched.
The minister remembered that there were two cups of unfinished tea on the table of the carriage.
He immediately got someone to bring Physcian Zhu into the carriage detained in the courtyard.
