Chapter 45 (1/2)

Although it has been said before, Crown Prince has warned Zhu WuXin not to think about the matter of that laughter anymore.

But humans are just like this, the more it’s prohibited, the more the urge to do it.

The more you can’t know, the more you want to know.

Even with the threat of life and death, perhaps as long as it haven’t reach the doorstep, you won’t really feel the fear.

Thus, after a few quiet days and all sorts of inquiries, Zhu WuXin acted on this afternoon.

She knocked out a maidservant who was delivering lunch meal, then put on her clothes and ran straight away to that courtyard.

But upon approaching the yard, she saw the door of the courtyard was affixed with a seal.

This was not the only strange thing.

Even the chain has been changed.

In addition to that, the weeds have been cleared and the walls have been cleaned out of dust.

If not for the desolate smell acc.u.mulated over a long period of time that penetrated deeply into the walls, Zhu WuXin would have thought herself has searched the wrong place.

What was really happening?

Full of suspicion, she went back to her bedroom.

The moment she returned, she immediately tied up the maidservant then dragged her to the side of a corner, waiting for her to wake up.

Once the maid woke up, Zhu WuXin didn’t even gave her the opportunity to be shocked and directly asked her, “Where is the person in that courtyard, that you send meals to everyday?”

“I, I don’t know ah. I was only arranged to send meal starting a few days ago. Today, today ….”

Actually, what the maidservant really wanted to say was “Why on Earth are you wearing my clothes, couldn’t be the one who knocked me out was you!”

Zhu WuXin took the sword she borrowed and slashed upwards from her shoulder level, interrupting the maidservant’s irrelevant words.

With the expression ‘If you don’t tell me the truth, I will disfigure you’ on her face, she asked, “Do you know who is the person being locked in there?”

“I, I don’t know.”
