Chapter 847 Chu Moli's Peril!
Although the Emperor's decision was made, Duanmu Jing and her two children still moved into the palace.
After helping Duanmu Chuze change his clothes, Mu Xin Nuan asked with some doubt, "Do you really think Chu Moli could have accomplished this all by herself? It's a serious crime like murdering the princess, and Chu Moli isn't even in the capital. Are those maids really that obedient?"
Duanmu Chuze's brow twitched. "You mean, there's someone else behind this?"
"Isn't that possible? Chu Moli did have some inappropriate thoughts, but those people might not actually have that much guts. Someone must have secretly done something ruthless, otherwise, I'm afraid..."
"Then we'll re-examine the Chu family."
"Yes, this matter should be handled quickly rather than slowly, otherwise things may change. You should go now, and it would be best to ask the matter clearly in front of the Chu family."
"Okay, you rest first, don't wait for me. If something happens, I don't know when I'll be back."
Mu Xin Nuan simply smiled, then waved to him, telling him to leave quickly.
The entire Chu family was shrouded in an extremely somber atmosphere.
Although Duanmu Zonghua is out of danger, he is not completely cured. Moreover, this young master has been by the Emperor and Empress's side for the past few months. If the Emperor is angered again, the Chu family will likely face trouble.
"Master, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
General Chu was taken aback, exchanged a glance with his son, and then quickly dismissed the prince. The prince's arrival at this time must mean something important.
An hour later, General Chu's face was grim, and Chu Rong was furious. In a fit of rage, he smashed a table with a single palm strike.
Duanmu Chuze gave him a cool glance. "Things are as they are now, and I have done all I can. The rest, who exactly used your Chu Moli, is something you will have to find out yourselves. Of course, I also believe that Chu Moli alone does not have the ability to command so many people in the martial arts world."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness. Today's events are a great injustice to the princess and Your Highness."
"General Chu, I'm not here today to have you apologize to me. I simply don't want your Chu family to be used by others. We already had Chu Moli, and I don't want another one in our household. Understand?"
General Chu had a sudden thought: the only woman in the household who could make decisions was his wife.
"Alright, you should all get some rest. As for Chu Moli, I'm afraid Chu Rong will have to make a trip there himself. What if he's too late?"
Before Duanmu Chuze could finish speaking, Chu Rong understood. Without waiting for him to say more, he clasped his hands in a fist salute and rushed straight to the stables.
"Zi Yi, at this hour, it may be difficult to leave the city. Take my edict and order your men to let us through."
"Yes, Your Highness."
However, while Chu Rong was fast, his opponent was even faster.
When Chu Rong arrived at the prison cell, Chu Moli was already on the verge of death.
After all, she was his own sister. Seeing that there was almost no good spot on her body, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
"Jasmine, how are you?"
"Brother, I... I was wrong. I shouldn't have been disrespectful to the princess. It was my fault, cough cough."
"Stop talking, Jasmine, tell me first, who beat you up like this?"
The minor official standing to the side was already terrified.
He glanced at the female prisoners in his cell and shuddered. "General, they're all family. I meant well by locking them all up together, but who knew they'd be so vicious?"
Chu Rong glared fiercely at the people in the cell, memorizing their faces one by one.
"Where's the doctor? Go find a doctor!"
"General Chu, this is the imperial physician who came with you. He said he was sent by His Highness the Crown Prince."
Chu Rong was taken aback, not expecting that the Crown Prince had even anticipated this.
If it weren't for the desire to extract information about the mastermind from Chu Moli, he probably wouldn't have sent the imperial physician at all.
"Imperial physician, how is she? Is there any hope for her?"
"Young General Chu, don't worry. His injuries are extremely serious, and it's hard to say what will happen. However, at least he's not going to die yet. Warden, do you have a slightly cleaner and quieter cell?"
"Oh, yes, yes!"
Seeing this, the jailer thought it best to save the person first; at least, he couldn't let anyone die in his hands.
With the imperial physician looking after Chu Moli, Chu Rong watched over her for a while until she fell into a deep sleep. After the imperial physician repeatedly assured him that she was no longer in danger, the murderous aura around him faded somewhat.
They returned to the previous cell, where the women inside were all terrified, their faces pale and hearts trembling.
"Open the cell!"
When the jailer saw this situation, he knew that General Chu was a big shot in the capital, and he couldn't afford to offend him. But this place was his territory after all, and he couldn't let anything really happen here!
"Well, General Chu, as you know, if someone dies at my hands, I won't be able to escape either."
Chu Rong threw a large ingot of gold at him and then whispered a few words to his attendants.
Soon, the cell door opened.
Chu Rong considered himself to be a very upright and fair person, but today, he really wanted to kill someone.
Soon, his attendant returned, leading a dog.
The dog was large and looked as if it hadn't eaten for several days. It was clearly extremely hungry.
"Close the door and lock it."
Seeing this, the jailer knew that General Chu's anger was unlikely to subside. However, with so many women and a dog, could someone really be impotent?
"You go in with them, don't let them die."
"Yes, son."
Immediately, the entire cell was filled with pig-like screams of agony.
The jailer couldn't help but shudder, feeling a tingling and chill running from his toes to the top of his head.
This man, who came from a military background, is truly ruthless!
He disdains hitting women, yet he came up with such a vicious method; it's truly chilling to see!
The next day, Chu Moli was locked in a cell by herself. Upon learning that Chu Moli had woken up, Chu Rong rushed over and asked, "Moli, you're awake? How are you?"
"Brother, I was wrong. Haha, I never imagined I would be treated like this by those wicked women. It was her, it must have been her!"
